Our sense of smell ~
An exercise in gratitude and awareness connected to our spirituality and commitment to personal growth what are the correlations?
I was fascinated by our conversation this morning in our Masterheart class and as such am taking the liberty of sharing some additional thoughts for contemplation and reflection and an invitation to consider or ponder as you see fit.
How is our sense of smell connected to gratitude, awareness and judgement with respect to how we’re willing to stretch develop and grow ourselves at a personal level related to our level of humanity.
What are we willing to claim for ourselves in our ability to extend compassion, kindness, empathy and understanding not only for ourselves also for those around us whether we know them or not.
How does our judgement of others based on our own perceptions influence our ability or inability to be open understanding and expansive in how we tend to move beyond our conditioned response?
How open are we to change?
What determiners our level of judgment for others and for ourselves?
If conditions were different in the moments that we had different experiences related to our sense of smell would we perhaps act differently on one day towards the same person, situation or circumstance than we would on another given day based on a multitude of factors?
How does judgment towards ourselves and towards other’s either hinder or enhance our experience as result of our ability to use our sense of smell?
How aware are we of the gift of our sense of smell and how acute is our sense of smell?
How do we know that our sense of smell is any less than that of another and if it is compromised in some way how much of a gift is that to us or a disadvantager
Can our compromised ability to smell acutely put us in harms way physically?
Can our compromised ability to smell offer us the advantage to bring different gifts, talents and abilities to the world that someone else may not be able to do otherwise?

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?
To answer your question, letâs study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: âThis puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
