Nirvana is right here, in the midst of the turmoil of life. It is the state you find when you are no longer driven to live by compelling desires, fears, and social commitments, when you have found your center of freedom and can act by choice out of that. Voluntary action out of this center is the action of the bodhisattvas — joyful participation in the sorrows of the world. You are not grabbed, because you have released yourself from the grabbers of fear, lust, and duties.
― The Power of Myth
Not going to say much this morning. Maybe just give The Regeneration and the words from Joseph Campbell above some time to marinate and blend with the song below. There’s not much for me to add to this recipe this morning.
The song is the Beatles song Across the Universe. It seems right for this morning and this post, with its refrain of Jai Guru Deva Om which literally translates from the Sanskrit as glory to the shining remover of darkness. This version is from the Norwegian singer Aurora. It has an ethereal and delicate feel with beautiful harmonizing.
Seems like it goes well with the other ingredients for this breakfast dish.
