Some said.. that's unkind to say when someone is so sad of something........Remember the time factor... Some took too long a time to be in grief.... Well... my answer is that for any situation.. just be positive... Positive means one can laugh to prevent getting into deeper grief or self pity.... People who seldom laugh or smile are more stressed and tense...

Love is an endless mystery yet has nothing else to explain it....

Let us be grateful.....

Grow up... be courageous.... you need to be who you really are....

Be swimming in the sea of love... and be detached to travel light...

When it is dark enough....you can see the stars....

Treasure our great friends....

........

Just keep moving...

We are what we eat... and digest..... to become who we want to be and how it should be.....

This picture gives me all the greater passion that I feel towards the harvest of planet earth naturally..... As I spent all my childhood as a farmer's daughter... I really love all these greens and nature...

It's true... we have to do what is right...

Outstanding people have one thing in common, an absolute sense of mission......

Knowledge comes from learning... wisdom comes from living....

Do your little part of good....

Be in love....

Words of wisdom...... learn from this.....

An entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship... Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you....

We have two choices... we can hide from the light or become the LIGHT...

It hurts when good intentions are thrown down the drain....

Everyone should have equal rights.....

Negative assuming or jumping to conclusion always come with prejudice and racism... We must be civilized enough to see a person's heart and mind instead of color or appearance.... Count our blessings of which all of us have plenty instead of loathing other's blessings...

It's on...Google is international... Goggle is helpful... I am always grateful for google for the vast ground to share my ideas...

Love heals... Love expands... Love is the answer to all answers.....

Only through unity that our planet earth be a happier place...heaven in the making... I say....

Try this.... try giving out something nice to a friend in need... see the beam in his eyes when receiving.. but YOU FEEL that special bliss of that very act... GIVING... this proves that bliss is only felt when we treat each other as brothers and sisters... without differences and accepting each other.....

There is no need to know who you are but WHO WE ARE...... Be spiritually connected.. be positively connected...That so call ingredient is LOVE....

Rid off that fear....Do not be afraid.... Differences promote more fear than unity.... Rid off that fear....get united.. let go of ego... just accept who you are... and be the best of you... Realize the oneness in you....

When we divide.. its just like cutting pieces out of our body and it pains....

We may not all see eye to EYE, 
but continuing to express opinions of ego 
only sinks us deeper into a hole of separation, 
if we cannot rise collectively as connected spirits,
then we have failed the test and repeated 
the same mistakes our ancestors have made. 

We stand at a critical branch-point 
in history at this moment, one path leads 
to expansion and one path leads to decay, 
if we continue the same old habits of business
as usual, then mankind has already sealed its fate.

Across the globe the surge for expansion grows,
for the future of the unknown unfolds a brand new vision,
as the patterns of the old are continuously dissolving within us.

For the time is now to return to a more collective society, 
and to dissolve the myths of the self centered 'image',
as we are all brothers and sisters, born under the same stars,
made of the same stardust, and the only division is created by the mind of ego. 

We are ALL connected by our true core BEing,
the pain you feel is no different then anyone else's,
the pleasure you feel is no different then mine, the more 
One strips and peels away the details of the self like a onion,
what they discover is the great silence from which
every-thing continuously unfolds from.

No words can ever take us to these 
higher realms of awareness, for words are 
more like freeway signs only to guide us, and as we all know,
the signs are never the true destination. 

Let us not return to the old patterns of habit,
so that we may reach our true inner destination 
of transcending mind into spirit, before the vehicles 
of our expression breaks down on the dark side of the road. 

Then, maybe then, a new vision of the self 
and the world will arise, as our world begins to SEE 'I' to EYE!" ~DMT/Alistar Valadez...

Be simple and sincere....

Be simple and sincere.
It is sheer waste of money 
to burden the pictures and idols
in the shrines and altars of your homes 
with a weight of garlands, and to parade 
costly utensils and vessels and offerings,
to show off your devotion. 

This is deception; it demeans Divinity, 
imputing to it the desire for pomp and publicity.
I ask only for purity of heart, to shower Grace. 

Do not posit distance between you and Me; 
do not interpose the formalities of the 
Preceptor-disciple relationship, 
or even the altitudinal distinctions of 
the God-Devotee relationship, between you and Me.

I am neither Guru nor God; I am You; 
You are I; that is the Truth. There is no distinction. 
That which appears so is the delusion. 
You are waves; I am the Ocean. Know this and be free, be Divine.

Spiritual life.....

Spiritual life does not mean leaving the home and living in a solitary place.  True spiritual life is that which teaches us unity or oneness and makes me lead a life of selflessness and love.

cosmic being....

When one refers to social life, it is asked what connection is has with spiritual pursuits.  Similarly, when one refers to spiritual life, it is assumed that it has no connection with social activities of any kind.  Both these views are wrong.  Spiritual life contributes not only to the Divine unfolding of society and the divinization of mankind, but it makes society itself a manifestation of the Cosmic Being.  The divinity that is the basis of society is reflected through the divinity of the individual.

Higher and holier goals...

Even to place one foot forward, man needs an inner urge, a purpose, a prompting.  His will is moved by his wish.  Therefore, man should endeavor to wish for higher and holier goals.

God tests people in many ways. They are intended only to promote your spiritual progress. None can affect God in any way. Why lose your faith in Him? They are signs of weakness. Give no room for such unfortunate doubts. Strengthen your faith and realize God by your devotion.

It must be understood that the root cause of suffering is due to the lack of wisdom which enables you to realize the indwelling unity amongst apparent diversity, and the safest and surest means of uprooting this sufferance is by removing ignorance, resulting in the realization of the real.

The root of suffering.....

Read,,,,,, Reacted vs responded...

Suddenly, a cockroach flew from somewhere and sat on her. I wondered if this was the cockroach’s response to all the glory that was spoken about it! She started screaming out of fear. With panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started doing jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. 

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group got cranky to what was happening. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach to another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough,

he grabbed and threw it out with his fingers.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos. It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.

I realized even in my case then , it is not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbs me, but its my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that hurts me.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life. I should always respond.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always intellectual...

No regime or control is popular... but strength is derived only from controls, from restraint, from regulation....... Man becomes tough and capable of endurance only if he welcomes hardships.... Struggle and you get strength to succeed.....

Everyone today is seeking comfort and pleasure; that is the be-all and the end-all.  If you tell a man that he can eat whatever he likes in whatever quantity he wants, he is delighted.  But, if you add that he might develop, as a consequence, some illness, he will treat you as an enemy.  No regime or control is popular.  But strength is derived only from controls, from restraint, from regulation.  Man becomes tough and capable of endurance only if he welcomes hardships.  Struggle and you get strength to succeed.

Life should not be spent in just eating or drinking.....

Many feel that it is human to err and the Lord should forgive them.  In fact, if they are truly human, they should not commit mistakes at all.  Should a mistake be committed, it should not be repeated.  It is a grievous error to think that it is natural for man to err.

 

Such a feeling should not be entertained by anyone.  To follow the directives of the senses is a mark of the animal.  To be guided always by the self is the sign of the human.  No one has the right to justify his weakness and lapses as natural to a human being.  They can at best be regarded as signs of mental debility.  Man must continually strive to master his senses.

 

Only through the spiritual path can man achieve this.  If there is real faith and devotion in a man, the senses will be powerless against him.  When you dive deep into a problem and inquire from your heart whether your proposed action is good for your society, your conscience shall give you the right answer.

 

Man must first decide, after vigorous self-examination, the path that he wishes to traverse.  Life should not be spent in just eating.

 

We should live in spiritual harmony with others.....

Turning hostility into hospitality or resentment into acceptance is a matter of choice.  And these are my choices so that I can live in spiritual harmony with others.

So, instead of thinking about what may be wrong with others and in my relationships with them, I focus on what seems right.  Something powerful emerges from this observation.  Little annoyances fade away, and a reverence for the sacredness of all people increases.

When I am willing to accept all others as God's creations of life and love, a shift occurs in me.  And often, the change in my own attitude draws a like response from others.

An expression of acceptance can be all that is needed to bridge any gap of misunderstanding.  Love will then forge a connection of harmony and goodwill.

I live in spiritual harmony with others.

All these are of no worth..... if you choose to be such....

A tongue of a human that does not pronounce the Name of God, a hand that has no charity, the years of life which did not taste the bliss of peace, talents which yield no fruit of success, a life that has not accumulated wisdom, a religious place where there is no atmosphere of reverence, talk that does not communicate sense - all these are of no worth.

Differences are self made, it divides...... Unity is man-made too, but it unites... When something is being divided, it gets smaller and weaker... but when something is united, it gets bigger and stronger...

I have no say...
now and then...
I have no say...
yesterday or today...

I have eyes to see...
and ears to hear to bear the test..
We all have this body...
which is a vessel to hold the rest...

What have we seen?
What have we not seen?
What have we heard?
and what have we not even heard?

When we pray...
we close our eyes...
When we pray..
we see and feel HIM only...

What has God taught?
What has God shown?
What has God often preached?
What has God always remind of us? 

Differences are self-made...
it divides....
Unity is man made too...
but it unites....

When something is being divided..
it becomes smaller and weaker...
When something is being united..
it becomes bigger and stronger...

God teaches love...
And love love love is what He always teach...
Love is kind..at least love our neighbors.
Love heals, at least let time prove it...

When one is a tadpole...
Don't expect it to go on dry land...
When one is a mature frog...
Be patient... you were once upon a time a tadpole too...

A tongue of a human that does not pronounce the Name of God, a hand that has no charity, the years of life which did not taste the bliss of peace, talents which yield no fruit of success, a life that has not accumulated wisdom, a religious place where there is no atmosphere of reverence, talk that does not communicate sense - all these are of no worth.

When you have full faith, God will surely help you and make you fearless. People who have faith in God will never be let down. But those who have no faith, suffer. You need not search for God. It is God who is searching for a real devotee.

Gems of wisdom...

Let us join hands
and go forth together as one,
in search of the Beloved.

Let us honour our differences
that we might live as love intended
and become fully human at last.

Let us leave our judgements at the door,
that we might all speak
with truth and mercy and hope.

We are all a part of love’s circle
and who else will undertake this work of humanity
if we do not?

- Abdur Rahman -

Spirituality is fundamental for man to reveal to him the means for the blossoming of his qualities. It, however, does not mean leading a solitary ascetic life. Spirituality means looking upon the whole of mankind as one family and realizing the unity in diversity.

no bad people...that I see...

Stop being negative...

Clear all these negative experiences...

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude....

Make today worth remembering...

Do good and good will come to you....

When you do the right things in the right way.... you have nothing to lose because you have nothing to fear....

Be positive...

Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment...

People do not wander around and then find themselves at the top of Mount Everest. You hit what you aim at, and if you aim at nothing you will hit it every time....

Everyone wants what they can't have... but if you begin to love what you have, you won't need anything else....

It's so true...

OUT of the lowest lows..... often come the highest highs....

You are more than your past your financial situation your job, your personality your triumphs, your failures.... YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD....

Blessings are plentiful for all of us of which some are countable though some uncountable......

Blessed is he who understands.....
that blessings come in different forms...
different stages... different times..
Have this invisible eyes to access them...
