Sri Karmayogi says says, “anyone’s comfort area has its strong pointers in all the planes.

In the mind – as preferences, in the vital as dissipations, in the physical as comforts. These will express as appropriate sensibilities. Only he who is willing to part with them in preference of higher sensitivities can ever make any progress.” He also says for comfort, man is capable of finding a physical fact differently (e.g., hot water as cold water), vital attitude as its opposite (to understand the only help as the only hindrance) and the mind can exercise its faculty in the reverse (as finding inflation harmful).

Life develops capacities by offering comforts. By denying comforts, SHE helps develop greater capacities. To those who receive the initial comforts also in order to learn from them, life never denies them. A moment comes in one’s life when one has to shift from comforts of prayer to surrender to transformation.

Instead of “life” making us to transform under some pressure, we have to do it ourselves. We do have a choice. We do have a vision beyond our comfort areas. But our comfort areas wrap us tightly to keep us safe. We may not be able to even imagine the possibilities in store for us.

Let’s break out of our limiting comfort attitudes, just like the butterfly emerges from its cocoon. Do what is uncomfortable. Do what scare us. Do what stretch our limits. It transforms our life, just like the butterfly’s life is transformed. Today, just like the caterpillar, you cannot even imagine what your life can be like. But just like the butterfly, we can emerge from our comforts into a life of limitless possibilities and beauty. The achievements make us to believe our potential. When belief gains strength, our actions gain strength. With actions come results, that strengthens belief, which builds Faith. Faith in Mother is accomplishment.
