Short Story: Spiritual decision making

Tweet

Sri Ramanuel Llewellyn, a renowned spiritual teacher, was talking to his students about spiritual decision making. Here is what he said to them: “We can make life decisions about what job we might want to do, or what place we might want to travel too, but to make a spiritual decision, requires us to align our decision making to God’s will, for our lives.” “Our decisions are then following what God is wanting for us to do in our life.” “Deciding things amongst options involves you in allowing things to stay attuned to God, and so every decision made must be God centred, with God being aligned in his love to the decision, so that the decision is not one not involving, or not including, love in it.” “How do we discern the will of God for our life”? “We must reach past the outpasts of our mind, as our mind alone, can never connect to God, nor to his decisions for our life.” “We must connect to God through a heart based connection, through love, and through living from truth wisely, and by checking every decision to the base of truth, love, peace, and wisdom.” “Our choices must reflect our connection to God in them." "Our decisions should not reflect who we are, within only ourselves, but who God is to us, when he is in us, as the central figure in our lives." "Spiritual decisions, then, are not about you living your life for you; they are about you deciding what is the best way that you can live for God, in your life.” Photo Credit: The photo used in this article was sourced from the free media site, pixabay.com The old guru was a colourful figure, indeed!
