Wesak is the perfect time of the year to say, „Today, I will go and arise to my Father (Monad). Today I will start over and begin a new life. Today I shall be reborn. Beginning today, I will make my evolution and Spiritual progress a priority in my life and transform myself into an enlightened man/woman.“
So, Wesak is the perfect time to renew ourselves on all fronts; to improve ourselves on all levels. When we try to improve ourselves, when we try to do better today than we did yesterday, and to do better tomorrow than we do today, we are slowly but steadily transforming ourselves. Just by setting the goal to improve one aspect of ourselves each day (for the next 365 days), we are slowly but steadily transforming ourselves. Are you ready for the challenge?
Wesak, being the beginning of a new Spiritual year, is the perfect day of the year to renew ourselves and to take our life and consciousness to the next level. At Wesak, the leadership of the planet shares a great divine vision with humanity, and when we deliberately tune in and manage to gain a glimpse of that greater vision, we receive new inspiration, motivation and aspiration which in turn fuels us on to keep striving. And in our striving to actualize the vision we receive, we begin to create plans. A vision is an image of the future that we want to step into. The plan is the steps we decide to take to step into the vision.
So Wesak is the perfect time of the year to make a plan for your Spiritual growth for the next 365 days. How do you want to grow? What do you want to work on during the next year? Pick some themes and get started: i.e., work on your emotional nature, develop your mind, actualize virtues (which are Soul energies), decipher and actualize your inner potential, purify your diet, strengthen your link with your Soul, take your service work to the next level, look at yourself and decipher all your vices and hindrances, illusions, glamour and maya and start sublimating them systematically etc. Start a Spiritual diary and start to work on your unfoldment in a systemic way. If you think about it, we all plan our vacations, but how many of us sit down and plan our evolution and life? Wesak is the perfect moment to sit down, go within, look where we stand, decide where we want to go, determine on a goal and then get ready for some new learning. There is so much to do. Once we begin to grasp the purpose of life and the need of the hour, we can no longer afford to waste our time, our energy, our life. Now is the time to get serious! Are you serious?
Wesak is decision time. Use this moment to make a decision to get serious about your awakening and your Spiritual growth. Etymologically speaking, coming from the Latin decidere, „to decide“ means “to settle a dispute.” The moment you make a decision to dedicate your life to reach your current evolutionary goal which is to become Soul conscious in the here and now, you settle the inner dispute, the inner conflict between the lower self and the Higher Self. To make a decisive decision to dedicate the next 365 days to your Spiritual growth and service means to decide in advance to follow through for the next 365 days no matter what. If we don‘t make a decisive decision about our Spiritual growth, the tiniest problem or inconvenience will throw us off the path. Wesak is the day of the year to make decisive decisions and to summon up all the determination in our heart to follow through on our decisions and actualize the greater vision we receive and conceive.
