Awakening can be a fleeting experience in the thick of this. Is it
possible to remain as the perfection of consciousness in the face of
global injustices, greed and violence? Can we live in the purity and
peace of the heart, throughout our conflicts and fears?
These questions can only be meaningfully explored if we come to know
ourselves in a radically different way. Radical Awakening is a sudden
shift in awareness, where our connection to everyone and everything is
profoundly felt—as the love in which all is contained. This connection
opens an exploration, a new field of being, where the Heart informs our
action and lives, as we surrender to the power of love. I invite you to
join me in that exploration, where the infiniteness of consciousness
and the frailty of our human hearts meet as one.
In loving surrender,
Ramana
