Late Night Chat with Jeff Wolverton: Effort and Grace, Feb 26, 2023, live on Baba Zoom

Topic: Delving into Effort and Grace

Dear folks of Baba,

This Sunday we will again explore Darwin Shaw’s book, Effort and Grace, which is an in-depth inquiry into the inner life with Baba. It describes one of the major approaches to Baba by one who was devoted to Him for over 70 years, which culminated in a glorious intimacy with Him. Darwin was always so encouraging and optimistic in what we can do to open up to Baba’s immediate loving presence. Darwin asserts that many of the blocks to this intimacy can be removed by our efforts and by inviting Baba’s ongoing intervention and grace.

Each session evokes invaluable discussion that does not require having attended the previous sessions; each section stands alone and provides a window into the inner life of the lover/Beloved relationship and is virtually independent, like facets of one diamond—Baba.

Everyone is invited to ask questions and share examples from their own inner life. We left off on page 12, and we will begin with the section on “The Master’s Loving Help.” Over the next chapters, Darwin makes an intensive exploration into the many illusions we buy into, not realizing how they prevent us from enjoying the precious intimacy that Baba is waiting to share with us.

For those who do not have a copy of the book, below is an attachment for following along:
