Best Example - A Spiritual Story
It’s a lovely goal to be our best wherever and whenever possible, and it’s also fine to not be our best at all times, because after all, we are all human. However, working on a daily basis to become our best as often as we can, is a wonderful target to reach. My best life examples have come in various forms, and some of the best I ever met were at the ashram in Virginia.
I remember that I’d just let go of, sold and handed over keys to my car, with the expectation at that time that I may have to become bankrupt. I felt bankrupt anyway, as I closed a massive chapter in my life, with the death of my husband, who had left me at that time, nothing but mounting debt, including his final costs. It was a bitter pill, and I sat with a swami counselor, who wanted to celebrate my disaster, rather than commiserate with me. She saw it as a fresh start, a great new beginning and helped me to become very present without looking back over my shoulder.
She was the best example for me at that juncture, because in order to be a swami, they each had to relinquish their worldly goods and come to the ashram almost bare and empty. The only difference between her and I was that she knew it was a deliberate choice, whereas I hadn’t owned my personal responsibility in what seemed like a dumping ground for me, instead of a spiritual choice that my human was simply playing catch up with. She was almost rolling her eyes at me explaining my pity party to her.
She made sure I owned my experience as a truth, and wouldn’t let me be a charity case of victim, and instead called me out to be strong and powerful in the experience, she described as my soul deliberately offering to me as a gift of enlightenment. She was definitely my best example at the time when I really needed that.
