Do What You Love

" Dear ones, there is a terrible aspect to your culture which needs to be brought into the light and dealt with openly and honestly, and this is the subject of your work and your life purpose. There are millions of you going to jobs you hate, or are indifferent about, wondering why your love lives suck, as you say. Well dear ones, it is clearly that you are spending most of our life disconnected from joy in an environment that is not good for the physical body. This is an area you must sincerely look at, and be wiling to change, for the energies of passion to flow in your life. Your sex life, and the one of your existence cannot be separated from what you do all day long, every day, year after year. This must be made clear to you, dear ones.

 You all have a passion for something, even if it is a damaged little remnant of what it once was. Gardening, cooking, painting, looking after children; there is no end to the areas where you can do work that you love. Indeed, our dear one Tina was adamant about following her passion, both as an artist, a free being and writer. She has pursued her spiritual path with the same passion, and indeed this is what has manifested this path with us, and as we have said before, this will not happen to all of you. Indeed this is a particular service that Tina is doing for her soul’s development and growth, but each of you has a future you who is engaged in a life doing what you love, and yes, for many this feels untrue, but time is not what you think, and if you dream, see a future in which you are doing what you want in your mind. You can allow it to happen.

Notice there that we said allow and not force. All the manifestations you wish to make are a balance between inspired right action at the right time, and surrender to the path of spirit as it arises for you. This path will change and grow, and it is important not to be attached to any specific form of the outcome, but to stay clear and at peace with a vision of your life at work, as you wish it. And indeed you will no longer call it work. That is too loaded word in this culture. It puts the efforts to align with your soul in a box that is not big enough for the subject And so we would like to use the word passion and vocation, dream, fantasy, future income. Anything that is vague and unlimited. Do not try and see specifics in your imagining, but see general feelings. Are you inside or outside, creative or academic? Are you in a busy or calm place? These are al the qualities of what you will enjoy, and indeed there is no lack of variety.

 Some feel that if they did what they want the world would fall apart, and this is not so. The reason the world is falling apart is that so many of you are disconnected from your passions, and are dead for forty hours a week. Indeed many of you lose half of Sunday because Monday is arriving. do you not dear ones? And so this too is part of the path to bliss. You will become a partner and lover to yourself when you honor the deep desires of the soul. This is indeed loving behavior that will encourage the bliss energies to flow, and will enhance your well being beyond anything you can imagine." Ananda
