Quotes
We must, not only allow the old to pass, but also to facilitate its passing, its exit from our life.
Indeed, the old is already past… However, the memory of past events we hold in our mind, often becomes the seed to recreate the very same past event in the future.
Therefore, let go…
And, how do we let go? By learning from the past, and then letting it pass. We cannot let go of the past before and without learning from it. Our past holds a lesson that must be learnt. If we do not learn, we are doomed to samsaara, repeat the lesson.
Nirvaana is here and now, it happens as we let go of the past, forgive, forget, and move on afresh, anew.
As we close the year, let us forgive each other for any and all mistakes, misgivings, and misunderstandings in the past.
Let us thank the passing year for all the lessons learnt and enter the new year with fresh enthusiasm.
Happy New Year friends, love you all…

Quotes
It is written in the scriptures that whosoever kills a single person, it is as if he has killed the entire humankind; and whosoever saves a single person, it is as if he has saved the entire humankind (Al Qur’an 5:32).
This beautiful, this sacred message, these holy words must be understood in today’s perspectives. Killing is not only taking one’s life. Killing is also inflicting pain upon others, causing injury to others, spreading rumors and gossiping about others. Character assasination is also killing.
It is high time that we understand the interdependency of all humanbeings. We are one family. And if someone suffers because of us, then it is just a matter of time before we are made to suffer.
The coming year 2012 is the year of Total Transformation. Those hearts, which are not responding to the call of Peace, Love, and Harmony – will get buried under the weight of their own heaviness.
Simply put: This is the year to love and be loved, shun hatred, shun violence, shun the habit of backbiting and inflicting pain upon others. Kill hatred and anger before they kill you!

Quotes
“In order to follow Jesus, Muhammad, Krishna, or Buddha, one must be 100% FULLY AWARE. There is an old conventional saying that ‘one should not follow blindly’, but i say unto thee that thou canst ever follow blindly.
“One can never ever follow blindly.
One must be fully aware, fully, awakened, fully enlightened to follow. For, one can neither follow in darkness, it is only when light is there that thou can follow the Master.
‘So, one who follows is a proof, is an evidence to oneself that he is aware, he is awakened, he is enlightened.
“Those who are blind and living in darkness cannot even receognize a Jesus, or a Muhammad, or a Krishna, or a Buddha – how can then he follow any of them?
“Jesus’ invitation ‘Come, follow me’ is therefore not extended to the the blind and those living in the darkness. It is extended to the fully awakened, aware, and enlightened beings, for they alone can truly follow.”
(Swami Satya Anand in “al-Kitab al-Hub”: Translation by anand krishna)

Quotes
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
“Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:
“He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
“But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
(Jesus, Source: Luke 6:46-49)

Quotes
Christmas reminds us of the options offered by Jesus, serve God or serve mammon. Mammon offers us the worldly kingdom that is never ever lasting, whereas God offers us the know-how to establish His Heavenly Kingdom on Earth that is everlasting.
Follow Jesus, and all else is added unto us.
We inherit His Kingdom….
Follow mammon and we spend our entire lifetime building an illusory castle.
Merry Christmas friends, love you all….
