Too few venture the hard path.

Why?

Very Nice Celine,

Religion is about Man

Spirituality is about God

There are many distractions

...and what wonderful fun to be had.

The power of Maya the illusion created by ego is very seductive Rareheart.
It throws you little crumbs of comfort from time to time, promises a better future, takes you out of the eternal Now, the only moment that ever exists.
Many are called few chose.
People do not react to gentle reminders of the power of God sometimes the going has to get tough before the tough become receptive.
It takes humility to ask God for help.
The ego has no humility.

Anyway thats my understanding of it.

Yes Greybeard...the ego strives to understand Love.
Yet, is composed of it.


To me...God and Love are interchangeable.

We are by nature pleasure seekers, but we are looking in the wrong place and accept fleeting and temporary material pleasures instead, this path always ends in frustration and anxiety.
