Narrow Road to Heaven.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
This scripture used to bother me, if Jesus was offering heaven to all why is the road narrow? And I realised when reading your book that the road is that narrow still place deep inside. People abdicate their responsibility by chasing after others to show them the way and its really very simple we make it too complicated. You just have to follow after that peace inside.
Response:
I agree with your observation that the path to heaven is the path of stillness and peace. The Katha Upanishad also describes the path to enlightenment as narrow—as narrow as a razor’s edge. It says that to traverse the path, one’s intelligence needs to be fully awake. This requires merging all the senses into the mind, the mind into the intellect, the intellect into the higher Self, Atman, and the Atman into the peaceful Self, Shanti. This perfect peace within is said to be the Self of all creation. As consciousness telescopes down to this most refined level of consciousness, it is a kind of narrowing of the path which requires discernment and attention, but as you point out, it is also simple because we are only following our own truth and essence which is pure consciousness, silent awareness.
