We recognize the importance of spiritual guidance and mentorship in our lives. It is not just about seeking advice but also about offering support to others as we grow. As we journey towards spiritual maturity, it becomes our responsibility to mentor those around us. This exchange of wisdom and support is a fundamental part of our spiritual path. We are called to listen closely to our inner voice, the authentic self that guides us. You are the only you that has ever lived; your idiom is the only idiom of its kind in all the existences, and if you cannot hear the sound of the genuine in you, you will all of your life, spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls. By cultivating this inner awareness, we can better serve others in their spiritual journeys, just as we have been guided in ours.
May we each listen deeply to the genuine sound within us,
guiding us to grow, serve,
and mentor others in their spiritual journeys.
