Sathya Sai Baba tells us that the spiritual growth of a person is best achieved through an integrated practice of devotion, study, and service. The study circle carries many benefits to participants. The primary benefit is the acquisition of Self-knowledge.
Swami says:
“It is not just reading books. Circle, study circle means taking a point and each person discussing what is the meaning of the point to them—like a round table conference. Each person gives his point of view, and finally values are derived from this. If there is just reading, there is doubt, but if each one gives his view, doubts will be answered. The topic is viewed; the study circle looks at different facets. It is like a diamond with its different facets, but there is one facet that is flat, the top facet, and from this all can be viewed. To discover the top facet is the task [purpose] of study circle”.
At Raleigh Sai Center the study circle facilitator gently encourages the participating members to express their view of the presented material. Each participant is given an opportunity to speak without fear of contradiction all along aiming for as Swami has guided us to enjoy study circle by reading, reflection and regular application in daily life.
In this YA-facilitated study-circle, we continued our conversation about the path towards self-realization guided by Swami. We began with reviewing the last two study-circles on self-confidence and self-satisfaction – the foundation and the walls for building a spiritual life. Swami says that it is absolutely necessary for every individual to search his conscience. He adds that one should essentially have faith in one’s own Atma to be self-confident. Only when one develops self-confidence will they be able to develop peace of mind and experience the satisfaction or Ananda of the Atma. But, can one live in a building with just foundation and walls and no roof? Swami says self-sacrifice is that roof and it cannot be laid without a wall and walls cannot be raised without a foundation. In the study-circle, we had a meaningful discussion about how love is our very nature and sacrifice is an expression of that love. Loving everyone will enable us to sacrifice without any expectation, and with the spirit of oneness and unity with all. In our next YA-facilitated study circle, we will continue our conversation about self-sacrifice and how it can lead to self-realization.
