Note from Suzanne: I am participating in a special retreat from March 2nd to the 8th. I will be spending much time in meditation with Sanaya, but far less time on the computer. To optimize this experience (and at the advice of friends) this week will feature past postings from Sanaya which others have highlighted as favorites. New postings will resume on March 9th. Love and blessings to all …
You package your gifts in a box, then wrap them in colorful paper. Why do
you do this? So that the recipient does not know in advance what treasure lies
inside. YOU are gift-wrapped, my friend. God has packaged you for a while in
the most beautiful of wrappings: a human body. Each of you is decorated just a
bit differently from the other, but the treasure inside all holds the same
essence of its Giver. It is your task in life to open the package and behold
the gift that lies there hidden. Will you be one of those careful beings who
removes the wrapping oh so very carefully, peeling away each corner and very
slowly revealing the contents to yourself and others? Or will you rip off the
wrapping with utter abandonment and joy? Both methods are fine. Worry not, as
long as you savor the process. Ultimately, the treasure is revealed to all.
