I thank you all for sharing your experiences re commitment to Life, for we are each an aspect of some incredible conscious awareness that seems to require unconditional commitment from us.
It isn’t easy. Actually, for people such as myself it is extremely difficult to let my life be directed. Perhaps it isn’t so much of a choice to commit as an acceptance that there is no acceptable alternative but to let God, the Universe, Spirit, Whatever have the final word. I struggle something fierce but I know that it’s a battle I could never win and some higher awareness in me would never want what is less to have the last word over what is not only more but all-inclusive. It is a journey of a lifetime, at least. Thatnk you. I’m not usually given to publicly confessing spirituality.

Thank you all who answered Andrew’s comment about “soul contract” – so
descriptive of the hunger we all feel, even in our physical form, to “know” that part in us that IS extension of Source.
My belief is that we all made that contract – it is in fact a “done deal” – time and space, the senses we operate with here have very little to do with it. But
we want to be happy and feel fulfilled – it is a preferred state of mind by far – so we seek, pray, communicate on all levels, try reason and alternate states
by whatever means … and on and on it goes
The glimpses of holiness-wholeness keeps us going!
Bless us all

Thank you, I have never had the pleasure of a conversation with anyone, either in writing or verbally, who has read Savitri, much less loved it enough to quote from it. I don’t know if you knew of my deep relationship to this poem or just intuited it. In either case, your comment settled like a warm benediction on my being.

Yes,the inner contract is made. You said something which allseekers are aware but made confirmed by you. Thanks a lot.

Even if you reconsider to go back not only you can’t, you always go forward.

I agree with Andrew. Spirituality follows Newton’s first law of motion i.e. if an object is put into motion it continues to be in motion unless prevented by outside force. A child has innocence and a spirit of inquiry, he sees things as they are, hears what is spoken and repeats what he sees or hears. As the child grows, social norms and preachings make him simulate / dissimulate and natural spiritual growth is thwarted. God gives us chance of redemption . What we need is a sincere desire to embark on the path of spirituality. God provides the avenue- choice is ours.

This is absolutely true! The way to fulfil this comittment may change , the path may differ, the comittment stays engraved in our soul’s DNA.

” But Savitri answered from her violent heart,-
Her voice was calm, her face was fixed like steel:
“Once my heart chose and chooses not again.
The word I have spoken can never be erased,
It is written in the record book of God.
The truth once uttered, from the earth’s air effaced,
By mind forgotten, sounds immortally
For ever in the memory of Time. “

Thank you for your honest appraisal of what “The Commitment” reflects to you.
The only response I can give is that it IS an experience that is the unexplainable.
The longing for GOD presence isn’t something that I pursued in the depth of my normal everyday life.
Its like a seed that was planted before creation.
Nothing in my life nor this world has nor could satisfy this longing and searching that I have had though the core of my being.
Are we all planted with this seed? I would like to think that we are.
Does is have anything to do with past life choices? Maybe yes.
But do we really know? And the bigger question is, “Does is really matter”?
I have been snared in a desire to walk with GOD, hand in hand thru this life, for WHATEVER the reasons. And unless something in your being has nurtured to some extent that seed, there will be no understanding nor empathy. You see this isn’t an easy path nor a cosmic joke. To throw up our hands in utter surrender for seeking something you can’t see, touch, smell or taste isn’t logical.
But here is the irony Gerald, after a time…all the seeker does is see, touch, smell and taste the essence of the beloved.
Did I choose it or did it choose me is an irrelevant question.
When asked by my being, in my being if I wish to pursue a relationship with the all and the nothing…I HAD TO SAY YES, or die
May you find that still quiet voice that whispers to you in the night and it is my hope that you too…say yes

Much love
