I couldn't agree more. We're lucky to have those who have dedicated their lives to these philosophies. I see a practice of renunciation for a greater reality.
I’m up and down Eric but I always come back to my practice and devotion to these philosophies. I think the fact that we constantly bring ourselves back to our sadhana is changing our lives in the long run. That is what I’ve found. The blessings of the people and places that I’ve seen and met is overwhelming evidence that I’m getting help.
I’m happy for you that you too can see a greater reality ahead and in proximity to our physical lives here. We can get so involved in these physical lives that we lose track of the fact that there are other dimensions of life happening simultaneously and just as real and at times more real than this physical place we appear to inhabit.
