You get what you need

In church of the Rolling Stones, Reverend Mick hits it home.
You can't always get what you want, but if try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need.

Last week, one of our 500 hour teacher trainees was leading a satsang on the Katha Upanishad. What was really interesting, is that in that text, we all found pieces of truth and interpretation that were relevant to each of us. Clearly, spiritual texts, (as well as life's situations, experiences, conversations, billboards, etc...,) can be interpreted and re-interpreted, and in fact they are. By "experts." But perhaps the real expert is you. We can read these texts over and over and re-interpret them to suit our needs, inspire our path, and to support our growth.

So recycle. Re-read. Re-invent. And get what you need.
