Church, temple, synagogue, ashram, sanctuary whatever you call the place in which you go to celebrate, worship, pray, gather, commune, meditate does it follow you throughout your day, week or month. Do you allow your time of worship to spill over into all of your relationships in life and not just the ones that you come across in temple? Isn’t it our ultimate goal to integrate our spiritual philosophy into all of our relationships with friends and family or even strangers? If it isn’t yet what is holding you back?
For me it is often thinking that I don’t want to ‘push’ my spiritual beliefs on to anyone. But truly I think that my state of mind can and should be carried over from my meditation into my dealings with anyone that I come into contact with. It enriches my life and theirs. It allows me to see and accept them as another being going through the same human experience and that we are all one at heart. I should love and honor them as I would myself.
So take your temple with you! Allow yourself to speak of your meditation, prayer, sutras, etc. with your friends and family they may be more interested than you think. Be open and they will be open with you.
Namaste
