Service is the blossom of love...

Service is the blossom of love, 

a flower that fills the mind with rapture. 

Harmlessness is the fragrance of that flower. 

Let even your little acts be 

suffused with compassion and reverence. 

Be assured that your character 

would thereby shine greatly. 

The highest happiness is contentment. 

Where there is no harshness, holiness 

will thrive and virtue will flourish. 

Where greed exists, there, vice will breed thick.

Hurting another, is the intentional revenge of one's own internal pain and chaos...

Try to prevent the five sins that the body commits, killing, adultery, theft, drinking intoxicants and the eating of flesh...

Try to prevent the five sins that 
the body commits: killing, adultery,
theft, drinking intoxicants and the eating of the flesh.

A man in judged by the nature of his actions; 
if they are good, then he, too is a good man, 
and if they are bad, then he too is considered 
a bad or wicked man.  

Man's qualities and actions are interdependent.

If we lack virtues we are reckoned only as a beautiful flower with no fragrances...

You may have outstanding physical beauty. 

You may have the sparkle of robust youth. 

You may be from a high and noble lineage. 

You may be a famed scholar. 

However, if you lack the virtues that 

spiritual discipline can only ensure, 

you will be reckoned only as a beautiful flower, with no fragrance. 

You must live in accordance with the 

prescriptions from the Scriptures and 

perform actions with the attitude that is 

needed to preserve the status you have

gained as the highest soul amongst animals and living beings.

The inevitable destiny of every living being is the attainment of perfection and fullness.

The inevitable destiny of every living being 

is the attainment of perfection and fullness. 

Our present condition of incompleteness 

is the consequence of our activities during our previous lives. 

The thoughts, feelings, passions and acts of past lives 

have caused the present condition in life. 

Similarly, our future condition is being built 

on the basis of our present deeds and desires, 

thoughts and feelings. 

Seek help from the Divine to purify 

and sublimate your consciousness. Thus, 

your spiritual progress will be accelerated 

and you will attain perfection and fullness.

Can light and darkness ever co-exist at the same place, at the same time?

All spiritual practices are of no avail, 

if the heart is not pure. 

Your cravings and attachments 

will not disappear even if you are immersed 

in many spiritual practices so long as the heart 

is full of the illusion of egoism. 

Remember that agitations of the mind 

cannot exist in the same heart filled with love. 

Can light and darkness ever co-exist 

at the same place, at the same time? 

Hence, you must remove the illusion 

of egoism from your heart. 

If you are desirous of getting 

rid of the feeling of "I" and "mine", 

you must worship the Lord. 

You must become an aspirant without likes and dislikes.

Be prepared to walk on the fires of life and remain unaffected by the heat....

Know that the shadow of misery that lies ahead, 
will, one day, be left behind.

Misery can only walk with you, 
if you will hold its pitiful hand! 
Be brave! Be prepared to walk
on the fires of life and remain unaffected by the heat. 

You will only feel the burn if you recognize "pain". 
The world is plagued with fears of misery - 

You, My child, must be the one that stays
afloat to give all the hope and strength of 
surviving their own evils that lie within. 

Plenty in the world are there to cry, 
and only a few hands remain that wipes their tears. 
Be that hand that washes the tears of all - 
be that sweet heart that brings a smile on a face of despair.

Forget your miseries by learning to accept God's will and surrendering yours forever....

Stay untouched to the pain of the mind - 
stay untouched to the pain of pride - 
stay untouched to the pain of the senses - 
and rise above the pain of the body, 
and only then, will pain stay away from you, forever. 

Forget your miseries, O child, by learning 
to smile with the happiness of another. 
Forget your miseries by learning to walk without the pain. 
Forget your miseries by learning to accept God[s
will and surrendering yours, forever.

The true reason of your sadness is the restlessness of a miserable mind that makes you bitter to your life....

Know that in misery the mind 
speaks the language of hatred, 
and the eyes envision only scenes of destruction. 

The mind loves none, and once peace has departed, 
the thoughts will only burn with resentment for all, 
and the heart will close its doors to any love that may knock. 

Remember, the mind will never 
seek the bliss of contentment, 
for once you have tasted that nectar, 
the mind will lose its power of dominating you. 

The mind only feasts upon your condition 
of misery and will only instigate you to spread 
your unhappy thoughts to destroy any peace 
that may exist around you. 

Recognize, My dears, 
the true reason of your unhappiness. 

Yes! The restlessness of a miserable mind 
that makes you bitter to your own self.

It is time you fought with the miseries 
of the mind and wiped this illusion of 
false suffering and pain. sweet heart
that brings a smile on a face of despair.

Pain must not be advertised to receive compassion of pity for it will only weaken your strength to bear your very own sins...

Know that the heart that is sweet will only cover its pains, 
will dry their eyes of tears, will swallow the choking of a sob 
that may escape and will never allow the shadow of its sorrow to fall upon anyone. 

The one that endures pain will be the one
that repays his own doings, without a complaint or 
argument and will succeed with this silent sacrifice 
by winning the grace of the Lord Almighty! 

Pain, O sweet, must not be advertised 
to receive the compassion of pity, for it will only 
weaken your strength to bear your very own sins. 

Even the ones you love the most, 
will not be able to take the burdens of your past deeds - 
know that, expect less, and forgive them for leaving you all alone to battle and bleed!

All that you take from others through cheats and empty promises, be one day returned either by will or by force...

When today is the day spent with the demon,
then tomorrow's sunrise will never promise the glory of God.

Know that if today is the day of purchases, 
then tomorrow will be that of payment. 

All that you take from one, will, one day, 
be returned, either by will or by force. 

Stealing the joy and happiness of another will only 
fill your own future with tears of worry, fears and dreadful anxieties. 

Do not let the thorns of your own pain
be the reason to inflict the wound of misery upon another. 

No innocent, My dears, must suffer the brutal effects of your past deeds. Yes! 
Life can be difficult to comprehend, when God does not stand by you!

It is only because one has faults within oneself, one sees the world as faulty...

Nature is resplendent with many colors. 

When you wear blue colored glasses you 

only see the color you have worn, isn't it? 

If the world appears to you 

as filled with differences,

it is entirely due to your fault. 

If all appear as one, that too, 

is due to your love only. For both of these, 

the feeling in you is the cause.

It is only because one has faults 

within oneself, one sees the world as faulty. 

The Lord always looks for goodness, 

not for faults and sins. He only sees the 

righteousness! 

Develop goodness and righteousness. 

Live and act in joy and love. 

These two are sufficient to attain salvation.

You should not be enticed by the wiles of bad feelings! You should see your own faults and not repeat them!

You repeat the name of the Lord, sing hymns 

and perform meditation to earn single-mindedness, is it not? 

Once this single mindedness has been earned,

its inner significance will be revealed to you and 

effort will become unnecessary. 

Those eager to become aspirants, 

to attain salvation, should not yield to arguments and counter-arguments.  

You should not be enticed by the wiles of bad feelings! 

You should see your own faults and not repeat them. 

You should guard and protect the one-pointedness, 

with your eyes fixed on the goal, and dismiss as trash 

whatever difficulties, defeats and disturbances you may encounter on your path.

Discipline is not what you must fear, but it is your focus, your concentration and your power from which you will derive your strength...

A child that attends school knows that 
discipline lies in his completion of the entire course 
and that he cannot run home until he has spent the time 
necessary in school to complete his study. 

In the same way, your discipline lies in 
completing this study of the self, and when 
the necessary time is spent and the study remains complete, 
only then, will you be able to come home to Me - your mother.
 
Discipline, My dears, is not the teachers 
beating stick that leaves the marks of pain - 
but it is, in fact, your walking stick that feels 
the pits and prevents your fall! 

Discipline is not what you must fear, 
but it is your focus, your concentration and 
your power from which you will derive your strength. 

You have rolled in the dirt of desires 
and forgotten the bliss of being clean - 
Yes! It is time for you to be the eager one 
that wants to learn his first lesson of control -
the discipline of self-control!

What is self control?

And what is self-control? 

Do not be mistaken by this word 
and let yourself believe to be the controller of other's joys,
for the one that lives to control the life of another, 
walks the path of a mere coward. 

Self control is controlling anything that may affect
the "self' to function with its fullest purity. 
No temptation must become a hindrance 
and no obstacle must become your fear to 
walk ahead, towards Me. 

You must, O child, believe in yourselves 
and have faith that you are capable to live life 
with sweet perfection. Nothing more - nothing less! 
To make this perfection a reality, you must exercise
the strictest discipline over your own weaknesses 
and tendencies to fail. At all times, you must be alert
against the alarm of your own inner evils. 

Once you have slipped into the folly of a mistake, 
let not this mistake turn to become another habit. 

The disease of bad habits must be broken with
the iron will that will not break under the cruelty of any torture.

Have the strength and the discipline to endure 
all for letting your principles live and killing with it, 
each time, a little more of your weakness that
gave in to sinful desires.

Know that desire will only let you slip
each time into a well that is deeper, 
and when the end is near and you will call aloud for help, 
the only voice that will respond to this desperate plea 
will be your own pitiful echo, for when the voice of evil cries,
God will not respond. 

Make a promise that you will not allow 
your faults to repeat and allow them to break you. 
You can enjoy the bliss of a game, 
only when you observe its rules and regulations. 

Similarly, to enjoy this bliss of existence, 
one must observe divine principles, and only then, 
will this game of life result in a peaceful victory.

from a divine source

In your path to God, when u meet with failure, it is only u that can be blamed for your own misdoings, due to your lack of self-control...

The observance of self-discipline marks 
the beginning chapter in the book entitled, 
"From Human to the Glory of God". 

One can advise you, one can inspire you, 
one can plead with you or one can pressure 
you in recognizing and walking in the steps of God, 
but none, My dears, can actually walk this path for you. 

This is the only service that cannot be bought,
for even the biggest masters and rulers of the world 
had to walk on this journey, alone. 

Several hands perform their service 
in each worldly task, and behind the task 
that does not succeed, lies the blame of 
each hand that performed this worldly service. 

But in spirituality, O sweet, there is 
but one pair of hands, and one heart that 
is responsible for its success.

In your path to God, when you meet with failure,
it is only you that can be blamed for your own misdoings, 
due to your lack of self-control.

If a dog were your teacher, there are some of the lessons you might learn...

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
to be pure ecstasy

When it's in your best interest
practice obedience
Let others know when they've invaded your territory
Take naps and stretch before rising
Run romp and play daily

Thrive on attention and let people touch you
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do
On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass
On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree
When you're happy dance around and wag your entire body

No matter how often you're scolded
don't buy into the guilt thing and pout
run right back and make friends

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
Stop when you have had enough
Be loyal
Never pretend to be something you're not

If what you want lies buried
dig until you find it
When someone is having a bad day
be silent .....
...sit close by.

...and nuzzle them gently.

Love will only be found when you will make the effort to break each barrier...

Love will only be found, 

when you will make the effort 

to break each barrier, when you 

will have the courage to confront 

and rise above every insecurity, 

when you will believe that your 

love of today is only a tyrant's weapon of control, 

and when you will realize that your priority lies

in pleasing the self and no other. 

Yes! Only then, will every door of life open, 

and lead you through this maze to the treasure of love. 

When love will become your best friend, its loyalty will 

shine by fighting and winning over all your enemies 

that had once made you falsely believe of love being a weakness - 

know that the strength of love battles - without any pain, 

with no blood, with no armor, nor weapon, 

with no strategies or manipulations - it fights 

and conquers the enemy's own needs and

weakness - that is - its need to be loved!

A love that lacks appreciation will only doubt and compete in the constant fear of its own insecurities...

The simplicity of true love, 

once experienced, will only 

make you shudder to live a love 

that deceives, fears, and expects. 

Know that true love can never hurt, 

for love is born to give without any limitations. 

Realize that when you hurt, 

it is only your pain of selfishness 

that limits you to ignore your own 

uncontrolled pangs of anger and resentment. 

The love of God can never resent, 

for His love is not a mere tool to fulfill 

His own needs, but is a healing cure 

that will fulfill and complete you, My dears, forever. 

A love that lacks appreciation, 

will only doubt and compete in the 

constant fear of its own insecurities. 

When one is not able to love, 

then he will react with the envious 

rejection of another's love, only to 

falsely protect his failing heart. 

Divine love, O sweet, hungers 

and feeds to encourage the strength 

of love in another, for any victory 

becomes his very own and know t

hat the love that races with another 

is the love that fails. 

You cannot acquire love as 

long as you will burn in the 

flames of jealousy - it is only, 

My dears, when these flames 

are extinguished by true acceptance, 

only then will true love be experienced 

and will heal the past wounds that inflicted pain.

The only THING that you will carry across the borders of life and beyond the power of death is LOVE..

Live, today, by the faith that God loves you - 

no matter what, and let this faith blossom, one day,

to a beautiful love that you recognize as the only one 

that is really true.

Yes! The only love that you will carry 

across the borders of life and beyond the

power of death. 

Make God's love, not your doubts, 

but instead, use the strength of God's love and erase the fears, forever. 

This is the perfect love, My dears, 

that is beyond even the power of your 

imaginations and much above a weak mind's ability 

of comprehension. 

How can you understand a love that needs none, 

expects nothing, blames never, heals ever, knows no failing, 

inseparable, at all times, and waits for you unconditionally? 

Such love is only a fairy tale to you - and to God, 

it is the only truth of reality. We are poles apart - 

yet remain attracted to each other, for the only 

reason God lives, today, is for you, and the reason 

for your birth is to realize that God's life is for you and your life is God's.

The heart should be filled with compassion, only then can it be called a temple of God.

A poet may compose grand verses 
in praise of God and also pray for his protection. 

The feeling is important and not the manner 
in which the verses are composed. 

One may extol God according to one's own 
capacity but one should do so with pure, steady 
and sacred feelings. 

One may be doing chorus, 
offering worship and undertaking service 
activities for a number of years. 

But all this will prove futile if there 
is no transformation of the heart. 

The heart should be filled with compassion. 
Only then can it be called a temple of God. 
Otherwise, it becomes verily a devil's den.

First let us be Gods. and then help others to be Gods...

First, let us be Gods, and then help others to be Gods. 

"Be and make." Let this be our motto. Say not man is a sinner. 

Tell him that he is a God. Even if there were a devil, 

it would be our duty to remember God always and not the devil.

Yes, life in all its sorrows and happiness is still beautiful and precious...

 

As the Girl jumped from the 8th floor

On the 7th Floor:
She saw the Loving couple fighting with each other

On the 6th Floor:
She saw the usually tough strong Peter is crying

On the 5th Floor:
She saw Dan is taking her daily anti-depression medicine

On the 4th Floor:
She saw that jobless Heng still buys 7 Newspapers to seach for a job

On the 3rd Floor:
Rose again fighting with her boyfriend

On the 2nd Floor:
The old man again hoping someone would come by and pay him a visit

On the 1st Floor:
Lilly still staring at the picture of her lost husband.

The Girl: Before i jumped from the building i thought that I was the most unlucky person. But now i realize that everyone has their own problems and worries. After i saw out all these i found out, infact i wasn't that bad at all.

Yes. Life in all its sorrows and happiness is still beautiful and precious....

Do make the best of it.......... Only Cheers....n. ...smiles are counted.

So u better be prepared to smile at whoever u come across 

Do not worry and feel sad about when we may have to depart from the earthly plane...

Look at the blossoms in the garden. 

When the gardener plucks the flowers, 

the buds exult that tomorrow is their turn 

to be gathered into his hands, and their faces

are so full of joy when they unfold in that hope. 

Do they feel any sadness? 

Do their faces droop? Are they any less bright? 

No. The moment they know that the next day it is their turn, 

they make themselves ready with great gusto and excitement. 

So also, one must be ready on the path of spiritual practice, 

enthusiastically remembering the Name of the Lord, 

without worrying and feeling sad about when we may 

have to depart from the earthly plane.

We have to fly, we have to teach our loved ones to fly...

We have to fly…we have to teach our loved ones to fly. Yes, it is okay to build a nest…it is okay to nurture the loved ones in it…it is okay to serve them with their needs. But then always remember a nest is only a temporary place of rest.

One dawn will come when the loved ones with your true love will learn to fly…they will rise…they will explore…they will experience…they will build…and you at that time must break that nest for them to forget your services. They must carry truth in their hearts…that is the true you. They will make their way…and you shall return to yet a greater task…to love those that never had the nest yet.

The wise one always knows when the task begins…and when it has to be set free!

We have to give up our desires, we have to be energized by hard work, we have to let go of past attachments, we have to!

Yes, we have to save those that we have loved. 

But how? Not by selfish motives and superficial sincerity.

No! No! We have to save them by freeing them into the truth. 

Truth is the only relation that connects us and

to experience this truth we have to love love itself madly.

We have to teach each other truthful ways…

we have sometimes to separate to love each other more. 

We have to give up our desires…

we have to be energized by hard work…

we have to let go of past attachments…we have to!

Our love toward each other has to change....

Our love toward each other has to change. 

It has to move in the direction of making one free 

rather than making one bound to our expectations. 

We have to wake up and realize that 

in God’s task there is nothing to measure…

no steps to climb…no one to please artificially… 

and no reimbursement for effort other than self-fulfillment.

We also understand that to love all equally is simply 'impossible'

We also understand that to love 

all equally is simply “impossible”. 

Why is that? We often deduce

that the amount of love and services 

may not be desirable and favorable

for us and hence it is simply not worth the effort to love.

The wise always believe in 'love all and be free', yet we find it difficult to adopt this concept in our everyday life...

The wise always believe in “love all and be free”. 

Yet we find it difficult to adopt this concept in our everyday life. 

Most of us remain happy in loving only a chosen few. 

Little do we realize the hidden truth within that lies within that love.
We serve the desires of those that are close to us.

They in return appreciate our efforts and return us 

with the same service i.e. they make an effort to 

give us what we expect from them. 

This give and take of services,

companionship and sharing of equal welfare

for each other becomes an attachment or 

dependence that we call “love”. 

We seldom realize that we 

cut the wings of freedom of those

that enjoy the most closeness with us. 

We wish not to separate from them

for we get attached to our efforts of 

loving them and also of the result i.e. to be loved in return.

Start to reflect your purity by not denying your present state of impurity...

Start to reflect your purity by not denying 

your present state of impurity. 

Live to be aware - 

aware of your own several faces 

that convince you of your false purity. 

Live, my dears, to be aware -

aware that you must find the one face of truth, 

only the one face of all - in each self! 

Existence must be in constant 

awareness of the self, and it is the truth of awareness 

that will allow you to climb the quick steps to purity.

Healing the wounds of others will only close each wound of yours forever and yoru self-pity will turn into universal compassion....

Make service your path to meeting with purity. 
Serve in silence, there must be no pomp or showiness involved. 

Service must humble you and fill you with love 
and compassion by revealing to you that you are 
surrounded by sufferings and that each one's pain
is the same pain that makes your own heart bleed. 

The difference lies only outward, 
but each one lives in the same delusion 
and ignorance in which you have found your own self in. 

With your love and kindness, 

develop true knowledge that the pain, 

too, lies only outward and that the true self 

will only experience bliss under all circumstances 

and under any roof of suffering. 

Healing the wounds of others will only 

close each wound of yours, forever, and your 

self-pity will turn into universal compassion. 

Your worries will seem smaller, My dears, 

when you will serve the worries of the world!

Once you have experienced momentary peace, the 3rd chapter in purity must continue its battle within, so that God found must not be lost, ever again!

Once you have experienced momentary peace, 

the third chapter in purity must continue its battle within, 

so that the God found must not be lost, ever again. 

Know that anger, jealousy, pride, hatred, envy,

will continue to knock upon the closed doors - 

remain deafened, and let the truth that you have 

experienced stare eye to eye until the fear of their 

deceit will make them flee, only to return for another attempt. 

To stay pure, you must not fail in keeping 

the Lord enclosed in your home, at all times.

The second chapter in this process of purification lies in being ever content, at all times, in total acceptance of God's divine will...

The second chapter in this process of purification

lies in being ever content, at all times, in total acceptance 

of God's divine will. 

Purity will not come with sacrifice that 

immediately expects its rewards and becomes unrestful, 

as the response of God seems silent. 

Know for certain, that one day, 

God will respond, but until then, 

your determination must not weaken 

with another's comparison in the spiritual path.

The lesson of purification will begin its teaching... when you will accept and open its book to the first chapter of 'sacrifice'..

The lesson of purification will begin its teaching,

when you will accept and open its book to the first chapter of "Sacrifice". 

A lot must be given away - and given up, 

before even the image of purity will begin to appear before you. 

The doors to anger must close completely, the fire of jealousy

must be exhausted forever, the mask of false pride must peel away, 

and with every such impurity that is offered to God, you, My dears, 

will begin to experience your first taste of the nectar of purity.

It is only when you are able to 'recognize' your own impurities, 

will you be able to offshoot them and attain purity. 

To understand the glory of the sunlight, you must 

first experience the light, only then, will you welcome

the brilliance of day light. 

The spirit of sacrifice is nothing but 

extracting your very own poisons - Yes! 

You must be the snake charmer that allows 

each poisonous snake within you to dance 

to the tune of divine music - 

the music of divine virtues, strong character, 

and unshakable faith in your ability to become God.

All that exists, all that lives, must find its own awareness, the bliss of the self...

All that exists, all that lives, 

must find its own awareness - 

the bliss of the self. 

Your lives have become only the existence, 

without the awareness of the truth, and where 

the truth remains blind folded, existence becomes 

only a suffering - 

Yes! The suffering of tangible attachments 

that makes the illusion of fears a dreadful reality. 

Awareness will only come when the existence 

begins to search its true purpose and finds 

unfulfillment in every step he takes in his everyday routine.

Post 1991... The process of purification will take several washings, washings in your repentance, your efforts, your determination to accept sorrows and sufferings...

The clothes that acquire a stain 

have to be washed several times 

before the stain begins its process to lighten, 

and with each wash, the stain takes its leave - l

eaving only lesser behind, until one day, 

the clothes show complete disappearance of the stain. 

Similarly, the process of your purification 

will take several washings - washings in your repentance, 

your efforts, your determination to accept sorrows and sufferings, 

and your simple vow of ending all past deeds by the renunciation of 

all desires, by overcoming every weakness of the mind, 

by remaining unaffected with the temptful senses and 

by surrendering to the will of the Lord and accepting His will as your command.

Each one, falsely thinks that he is living his life, but has he truly lived its promise?

The body is inert and perishable...

The body is inert and perishable. 

Then, why should you have attachment to it? 

The body is necessary to perform your duties. 

You have to utilize it as an instrument.

But do not identify yourself with this instrument.

If you do so, it will affect your power to identify yourself with the self

The human body is a world in itself.. the body is the tree, love of the self is the root...

The human body is a world in itself. The body is a tree. Love of the
Self is the root. Desires are the branches it sends forth.
Qualities, attributes and modes of behavior that are based on the
basic nature are the flowers from the tree. Joy and grief are the
fruits thereof. Blood flows through and animates every part of the
body. So too, Divinity is flowing in and through and activating
every spot in the world.

Never use foul words against another, such words should never defile your tongue...

 

Never use foul words against another. 

Such words should never defile your tongue. 

Remember that there is God inside your heart, 

as well as in the hearts of everyone around you. 

He sees and hears everything. 

When you use harsh, angry and foul words against another, 

the God in you and the God in the other person is hurt. 

The tongue is a tool with which you 

can harm yourself and others too. 

So, be very careful; use it only for 

your good and for the good of others. 

The best way to use it is by speaking kind words, 

repeating the Name of God and singing His Glory.

Do not live merely hoping to change, but live the hope and change...

Do not live, merely, hoping to change, 

but live the hope and change!

 

In each hope, lies the shadow of faith -

breathe that faith, and the faith of pureness 

will cross the path of God. T

 

he way you live, today, cannot continue, 

for the day will come, when you are bound to face the poverty - 

the poverty of an empty heart that hungers for true love and 

resents its state of never ending greed.

The human body is the greatest body in the universe and a human being the greatest being...

The human body is the greatest body 

in the universe and a human being the greatest being. 

Man is higher than all animals, 

than all angels; none is greater than man. 

Even the Devas (gods) will have

to come down again and attain 

to perfection through a human body. 

Man alone attains to perfection, 

not even the Devas. According to the Jews 

and Mohammedans, God created man after 

creating the angels and everything else, 

and after creating man He asked the angels 

to come and salute him, and all did so except Iblis; 

so God cursed him and he became Satan. 

Behind the allegory is the great truth that 

this human birth is the greatest birth we can have.
