<+> O Great Spirit,
Whose voice I
hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me! I am small and weak,
I
need your strength and wisdom. Let Me Walk In Beauty,
and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make My Hands respect the things you
have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make Me Wise
so that I may understand the things you
have taught my people. Let
Me Learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I Seek Strength,
not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself. Make Me Always Ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So When Life Fades,
as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame. Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota Tribe <+>

Grandfather,
Look at our brokenness.
We know that in all
creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.
We know that we are the ones
who are divided
And we are the ones
Who must come back together
To walk in the Sacred Way.
Grandfather,
Sacred One,
Teach us love, compassion, and honor
That we may heal the earth
And heal each other.
Ojibway people of Canada

Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view,
and demand that they respect yours.
Chief Tecumseh +++
Love your life, perfect your life,
Beautify
all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long,
and its purpose in the service
of your people.

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson
about how he felt.
He said,
"I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart.
One wolf is
the vengeful, angry, violent one.
The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one."
The grandson asked him,
"Which
wolf will win the fight in your heart?"
The grandfather answered,
"The one I feed."
+++ Love is not the product of any particular religion. It
is the rightful province of each and
every human heart ... Know that each of the souls on this
planet is of God.
Each is going back home to God from which they came. And each does so in its
own way, and
on its own schedule. Because of our separate journeys and lessons. It is a
journey that is individual to each Source
soul, yet felt
by all Source souls, for we are all connected. "Love
is the only religion, the only god, the only mystery that has to be lived, understood. When love is understood,
you have understood all the sages and all the mystics of the world. It is not anything difficult. It
is as simple as your heartbeats or your breathing. It comes with you, it is not given to you by the society.
" +++
If two souls could, for even a moment, relate to one another
in your purest forms - the two of you relating only as Love energy, the essence of your beings - you would
never ever become upset, angry or disturbed by that soul again. All disharmony would melt into the nothingness from which
it came. +++
{Darkness}
Though a man be full of knowledge,
learned, skillful, very
subtle-sighted, if Darkness has wrapped him round, he
sees not, though he be full
of manifold instruction; he calls
good that which is raised by error, and leans upon its
properties,
unlucky man that he is; great and hard to end
is the enveloping power of Darkness. +++
Ego itself is the 'original sin.'
It departed from the totality
to promote its own little thing
and to fulfill its own cravings. The ego may develop great skills in
divine
programs; religion meditation
mental powers-it becomes more and
more seemingly divine-but it has never
put
down its selfishness, pain of separateness,
fear competitiveness and jealousy
- it has never opened
to the
real program of the Self which alone
can bring peace for all. +++
A day will come when you will
long for the ending of the dream,
with all your heart and mind, and be willing to pay any price;
the
price will be dispassion and detachment, the loss of interest
in the dream itself. To know that you need
nothing to be happy,
except self-knowledge. Be only interested in ignorance and the
freedom from ignorance.
A man who wants nothing for himself is all-
powerful. The entire universe is at his disposal. Abandon
every
personal desire and use the power thus saved for changing the
world! See clearly your condition,
your very clarity will release you.
It is clarity and charity that make us human. Know yourself to be
the
changeless witness of the changeful mind. That is enough. +++
The best preacher is the
heart;
the best teacher is time;
the best book is the world;
the best friend is God. God is easy to
know,
if you do not try to define Him.
Just love your brother,
and you will know Him, then you will know Yourself, U-R the 1 U have been

Beautiful beautiful is the world God
gave to us. We are the Sleeping Beauty who has yet to awaken to the pulse of the universe and its indescribable
beauty. It is ourself we are waiting to wake up to. Let us wake up now. The poisoned apple has lost its potency. Sit
up now and spit it out. No longer is there any excuse for not loving the universe. It is a universe of life. No longer is
there any excuse for not partaking in the beauty of life. Now you step over all the negative, for why would
you, a Sleeping Beauty now awakened, walk through negativity? You wear a diamond-studded gown and a tiara
of immense proportions. One of such beauty as you no longer dallies with the brambles and thorns or comments
on them. You have too much beauty to attend to. No longer do you let even the slightest negativity scramble your thoughts,
let us all start Now, for a Bright Tomorrow. +++
Only love can be just because only love
can understand. Without love there is no understanding and without understanding how can there be any justice?
If you want to understand the truth you have to be very loving. If you really want to understand the
whole of life in all its dimensions, you have to approach it with great love and care. You have to be very
tender, soft. And then a new phenomenom arises in you: your life becomes full of justice. You cannot be unjust
then; you cannot be unfair then - it is impossible. A loving person cannot be unfair.
And love is always
protected by God. Only those who are not in love are unprotected; those who are not in love are always in
insecurity. The moment you enter love, you enter absolute security, safety, because love is another name of
God and God is protection. The ordinary man lives in fear, anxiety, selfishness. He tries to protect himself, hence
he becomes very tense, very cunning. Once God is known, tasted, death disappears. Death exists only
for those who have not known love. Those who have known love are beyond death. And, so, now you discover that you are not
a drifter but rather a messenger from the One God who sent you here to hear His call and to repeat it softly
so that all may hear: "Love is here now.” Avail yourself of love. Pass it around like an hors' d'oeuvre. Help yourself,
and pass it around, for you are each an honored servant of God, and now
you Serve.
"The Universal
Law Of 1" Pray
that we all become unified wise & loving
We can build a community out of
seekers of truth,
but not out of possessors of truth ... I now understand that my welfare is only
possible if I
acknowledge my unity with
all the people of the world without
exception. *** Leo Tolstoy +++
'We All Come From The Same
Clay' Everyone
is your soul mate. We Are
All Going Back Home To Source, to the Same Love we all came from. The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness is to share others's
sorrow and joy. As you grow, your consciousness should also grow. When you expand in Knowledge with time,
then depression is not possible. Your inner most source is joy.
The way to overcome personal misery is
to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Instead of thinking "what about
me?" "what can I gain from this world?" think "what can I do for the world?" When everyone comes from the
point of contributing to society, you have a Divine society. We have to educate and culture our individual
consciousness in order to expand in time with the Knowledge . . . from "what about me?" to "what can I contribute?"
If
you are not having good experiences in meditation, then do more seva {selfless service; work offered to God
} -- you will gain merit and your meditation will be deeper. When you bring some relief or freedom to someone
through seva, good vibrations and blessings come to you. Seva brings merit; merit allows you to go deep in
meditation; meditation brings back your smile.
- Sri Sri
The measure of a souls worth is
by the degree to which that soul can share its love. Love is the motivation behind all acts of kindness asking
nothing in return. Yet whatever one gives out is returned through the Law of Attraction. At a time when the
needs of others are mounting, the presence of those of the Light is a blessing, and those who wish to serve
will find plenty of opportunity. Our reading of the situation is that there are now many more such willing
people, than at any previous occasion in recent times. The Oneness of all souls is being recognized, and
once the differences in politics and religion are overcome, there will be a great coming together that will
lead your civilization forward in unity, and in a common purpose to bring harmony and balance back to Earth. Let no one doubt that Man is on the path to massive
changes, and they will provide the answers to your present problems. Salusa +++

Law' "The

Spiritualize yourself.
Spirituality is another word for reality, the Path to Unity. Meditation, spiritual practice. Purity of body and
clarity of mind, non-violence and selflessness in life are essential for survival as an intelligent and spiritual entity. What
I am , you are, and what you are - I am.
The 'I am' is common to us all; beyond the 'I am'
there
is the immensity of light and love. We do not
see it because we look elsewhere; I can only point
at
the sky; seeing the star is your own work. Some
take more time before they see the star, some take
less;
it depends on the clarity of their vision and their
earnestness in search. These two must be their own
-
I can only encourage.
It is the absolute in you that takes you to the absolute
beyond you - absolute truth,
love, selflessness are the
decisive factors in self-realization. With earnestness
these can be reached.
There
is a power in the universe working for enlighten-
ment - and liberation. It is called Sadashiva,
who is ever
present in the hearts of men. It is the unifying factor.
Unity - liberates. Freedom - unites.
Ultimately nothing
is mine or yours - everything is ours. Just be one with
yourself and you will be
one with all, at home in the
entire universe.
Signs of progress in the spiritual life, - freedom from
all anxiety; a sense of ease and joy; deep peace within
and abundant energy without. {Q} How do we find Perfection?
{A} You must
give yourself the opportunity through
intensive even arduous, meditation, it is definitely
not a part-time
occupation. Limit your interests and activities to what is needed for you and your
dependants' barest
needs. Save all your energies and time for breaking the wall your mind has built around you. Believe me,
you will not regret it. All you need is already within you, give your heart and mind to brooding
over
the 'I am', what is it, what is its source, its life, its meaning. It is very much like digging a well. You
reject all that is not water, till you reach the life-giving spring. Make love of your self perfect. Self-condemnation
and self-distrust are grievous errors. Deny yourself nothing - give your self infinity and eternity; and
discover that you do not need them;
you are beyond, into what is undefinable and indescribable ...
To
see reality is as simple as to see one's face in a
mirror. Only the mirror must be clear and untainted.
A quiet
mind, undistorted by desires and fears, free
from ideas and opinions, clear on all the levels, is
needed
to reflect the reality. Be clear and quiet -
alert and detached, all else will happen by itself.
Your
hope lies in keeping silent in your mind
and quiet in your heart. Realized people are
very quiet.
{Q} Why is there so
much suffering in the world?
{A} Selfishness is the cause of suffering. There is no other cause.
{Q}
I understand that suffering is inherent in limitation.
{A} Differences and distinctions are not the causes
of sorrow. Unity in diversity is natural and good.
It is only with separateness greed and self-seeking
that really suffering appears in the world.
As long as you are engrossed in the world, you are unable
to know yourself; to know yourself, turn away your attention from the world and turn it within.
Truth and
love are man's real nature and mind and heart
are the means of its expression.
'I Am' is the ultimate fact; 'Who
am I'? is the ultimate
question to which everybody must find an answer. Only self-knowledge can help you. By self-knowledge
I mean full
knowledge of what you are not. Such knowledge is attainable and
final; but to the discovery
of what you are there can be no end.
The more you discover, the more there remains to discover.
You
need not be attached to the non-essentials. Only the necessary
is good. There is peace only in the essential.
You cannot see the
true unless you are at peace. A quiet mind is essential for right
perception, which
again is required for self-realization. It is
earnestness that is indispensable, the crucial factor. Earnestness,
which
is but love in action. For nothing can be done without love.
Your real being is love itself. It is not
complicated and difficult.
It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters.
Circumstances
and conditions rule the ignorant. The knower of
reality is not compelled. The only law he obeys is that of love. To act from desire and fear
is bondage, to act from love is freedom. The search for reality is the most dangerous of all undertakings for
it will destroy the
world in which you live. But if your motive is love
of truth and life, you need not be afraid. Love is
not lazy and clarity
directs. Habit and passion blind and mislead. Compassionate
awareness heals and
redeems. Stupidity and selfishness are the
only evil. Be pure, be alert, keep ready. To meet cheerfully
whatever
life brings is all the austerity you need. The real must come unexpected and be irresistible. Not to anticipate
is best. The way you respond is decisive. Accept what comes. Abandon all memories and
expectations. Just
keep youeself ready in utter nakedness and
nothingness. Do nothing that may be unworthy of the glorious
reality
within your heart and you shall be happy and remain happy.
But you must seek the self and, having found
it, stay with it.
Don't hold on to the person you take yourself to be. Don't trust
definitions and
descriptions - they are grossly misleading. Feel lost!
As long as you feel competent and confident, reality
is beyond your
reach. Unless you accept inner adventure as a way of life, discovery
will not come to
you. Be nothing, know nothing, have nothing. This
is the only life worth living, the only happiness worth having.
It
is earnestness that will take you through, not cleverness - your own or another's. Don't cheat, don't hurt
- live a clean, selfless life,
that is all. All else will turn to ashes. The senseless sorrow of mankind
becomes your sole concern. Do what you believe in and
believe in what you do. All else is waste of energy
and time. +++
In your being, all of the principles
of Creation exist, and the consciousness to share the awareness of all
of Creation. God will show you
all that is within you. Every beauty is within you. Every spark of life, every
capacity for Love. Built
into your very beings on every level is the essential flow of the energy of life.
You have found it in
your genes. You have discovered it in your consciousness. Now, you will find it in
your fullness, which
is your awakening with your fellowman. +++
May the stars carry your sadness
away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above
all, may silence make you strong. Chief Dan
