When in doubt, I always turn to the examples of the great Teachers of our past.
Their lives examplified their teachings for us, showing us the way through our own human experiences.
Their lived experience was the teaching, hence why their lives often looked like a movie - full of plot twists, obstacles to overcome and moments of ravishing bliss.
I notice something.
Many great Teachers, Masters, Guides who have walked this Earth - Gandhi, Yeshua, Buddha, Maharaji, Ram Dass, St Francis of Assisi, many saints etc - weren’t particularly physically healthy or strong.
In fact many experienced terrible chronic pains, accidents, and debilitating ailments of all kinds.
In our current society that promotes “health” almost as a demonstration of enlightenment,
as if the highest state for a human being was physical fitness,
as if illness was an admission of weakness or failure,
I find this interesting.
Many great souls who incarnate as Teachers agree to take up some of the collective karmic weight to be cleared through them.
It takes extraordinary strength and training to be able to do this, and the deepest love for humanity as well.
Their physical health often reflects the ebbs and flows of the collective vicissitudes.
Their bodies become a vessel of powerful healing for all.
As great avatars, it is their greatest Joy and honour. A gift of Love.
As human beings, it’s another story!
They’re having to walk the path to acceptance of their nature, without letting the wounded human psyche play tricks of victimhood or weakness on them.
