Why It’s Like the Air We Breathe – Step 11

“Far more indispensable than food for the physical body is spiritual nourishment for the soul. One can do without food for a considerable time, but a man of the spirit cannot exist for a single second without spiritual nourishment.” – Mohandas Gandhi (1869 – 1948) India Independence Movement Leader from British rule (on prayer and meditation)

Prayers of The Potter :

Once there was a potter, who made earthen pots. He had a good business but sometimes people complained that his pots would break easily. Once, he got fed up of hearing the complaints. He prayed to the goddess. When she appeared, the potter said, “Please make my pots unbreakable, so the customers stop complaining.”

The Goddess blessed the potter and vanished. Now all the pots he made became unbreakable. So the complaints stopped but the customers stopped buying new pots because their old pots were not breaking or getting damaged.

The potter prayed to the Goddess again and said, “Mother, forgive me. Please make the pots as before. I tried to go against nature but I was wrong.”

The Goddess heard the potter’s prayers and fulfilled his wish. Now the potter’s business flourished as before.

That is why it is said that we should accept things as they are. (http://www.english-for-students.com/Prayers-of-The-Potter.html)

    I need to pray more. I allow the world to get me down. Spiritual growth is not that far away. I just need to seek it out.

    Gandhi, clearly a man who would fast for weeks at a time, clearly knows from whence he speak.I see a man of the Spirit as being someone deeply connected with their emotions and and intentions. the greater the connection, the greater the spiritual serenity one may experience. (17)

    Daily practices that facilitate attunement aren’t excessive, if kept to the degree which is healthy. In regards to Gandhi’s “man of the spirit” I think he is talking about those of us, both men and women, who really are working toward and have achieved some level of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual self-environment awareness.
