Stop Breathe Deep and Love

Posted by Jill Warner in Current Event Editorials.

Jesus says, “Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your Mind.” (Matthew 22:37)

Some of you have expressed concern that I am using the word ‘Satsang’ to describe the Global Conference Call scheduled for next Sunday, March 9th at 9AM USA Pacific Time. Satsang means association with Truth. It is a conversation held in the highest Truth, a conversation with the sole purpose of directing your attention into the deepest inquiry. The conference calls that I am offering you are not casual conversations. The purpose for using the word satsang is to inform you that I take our conversations seriously, I take this blog very seriously, I take you and your life very seriously and I want to make sure you understand that these are not casual conversations. Also, using the word satsang honors Ramana Marharshi as well as my beloved teacher Gangaji, whose endless love and support helps people around the world discover the deepest Truth directly, intimately, for themselves. Without the support of Gangaji and my direct experience with the profound revelations that self-inquiry offers, this blog and the global conference call next Sunday simply would not be possible.

Jesus says, “Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your Mind.” (Matthew 22:37)  How can you possibly love This much unless you are Love? The satsang next Sunday will focus this core teaching of Jesus—Love. What is Love? Where is Love? Who is Love? Simply, very simply, Love is like your breath it is an essential aspect of Life. If you are like me you take breathing for granted, but that was not the case for Eva Markvoort. Last month she wrote on her globally recognized blog, “i can’t breathe every hour once an hour, i can’t breathe…” Two days later on March 27th, 2010 Eva died of cystic fibrosis, a hereditary lung disease—she was only 25 years old. Her story touched me so deeply, I wanted to share it with you. Eva’s story of the very essence of life, a poignant reminder to us all to stop, really stop, breathe deep and Love—it really helps put the everyday circumstances of your life into perspective. A few days before her death Eva shared her last moments with her online community, family, and friends in a YouTube video. Her message is a profound message of love, love, love… How can her sublime message help you understand the teaching of Jesus on an even deeper level?
