Should my spiritual friends be attending parties?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“A friend and I often discuss the teachings of inner peace and balance.
But my friend struggles with walking the walk after talking the talk.
My friend wants to be the person who looks out from a mountain of goodwill and peace.
To be in tune with the universal energy and to be emotionally balanced, however, my friend likes to go to places where alcohol, cigarettes, and a lot of negative energy exist, in other words, bars and parties.
This must be in great conflict to achieve a peaceful and spiritual balance. ”
Response:
I understand your point that bars and clubs may not be the best place to look for peace and quiet, but for the person who is well established in their higher self, no place is an obstacle to that inner silence either.
I don’t know how competent your friend is in maintaining his silent witness in such circumstances, but if he or she can enjoy the company and celebratory atmosphere of such places without being adversely affected by the coarser aspects there, then it’s not a problem.
If the nervous system is strong and flexible enough to uphold its equilibrium of consciousness under all circumstances and at all times, then there is no reason to avoid any place to keep one’s purity.
If, like most of us, you have a transitional constitution that is easily perturbed by smoke, alcohol, and rowdy behavior, then it only makes sense to minimize your exposure to them.
Love,
Deepak
