A lesson in sensitivity in “the Master’s seminary of transformation”
Just as a flower gives out its fragrance to whomsoever approaches or uses it, so love from within us radiates towards everybody and manifests as spontaneous service. ~Swami Ramdas Prior to redemption, and in the practice of working out my salvation, I have found it difficult to be compassionate towards others for the simple reason that selfishly most of my energy for sensitivity is directed towards myself. So, at the instruction and assignment of the Master, I have been working on an experiment: Perhaps the less I dwell on myself, the more my sensitivity will open out to the needs and feelings of others. Every time then when I hurt someone and then grieve inside because of it, I am again enrolling in and attending a valuable course in Jesus’ seminary- on sensitivity. It is a course that informs and teaches at the deepest and most personal level, the experiential, and it is infinitely more effective than anything I can attend for graduate school credit. The Lord
