This April for the A-Z 2020 challenge I have
taken short stories from books of Fr Anthony De Mello – “the song of
the bird” and the “prayer of the frog”.
I would like to share these stories and hopefully believe that these stories
will inspire you too.
The Master was
asked, “What is Spirituality?”
He said, “Spirituality
is that which succeeds in bringing one to Inner Transformation.”
“But if I apply the traditional methods handed down by the Masters, is that not Spirituality?”
“It is not
Spirituality if it does not perform its function for you. A blanket is no longer blanket if it does not keep you warm.”
“So Spirituality
does change?”
“People change and
needs change. So what was Spirituality once is Spirituality no more. What
generally goes under the name of Spirituality is merely the record of past
methods.”
“Don’t cut the
person to fit the coat”. J

He says it so well ... thanks Genevive, a blanket is not useful if it doesn't keep you warm ..xx
ReplyDeleteYea Susan:) Spirituality goes beyond religion that is bound by set of dogmas and theologies. Its important to question every now whether the spirituality i follow is transforming me or not ..
