Thinking about the past we exhaust all our energies and stop moving. This is the reason why we do not succeed in life. It is better therefore to learn from the past, let go, and move in the present. This is the only way to success.

“Bless me with friends, O Lord, who can show me my mistakes, so I can overcome them.” (Swami Satya Anand Anomadassi – translated from “1008 Prayers of Soul” in Hindi)

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else, without realising we are the ones who get burnt first” – Ram Vaswani
From Anand Krishna’s Facebook, 18 February 2012
Our Lord told us to pray in secret –
that means in your heart –
and he instructed us to “shut the door.”
What is this door he says we must shut,
if not the mouth?
For we are the temple in which Christ dwells,
for as the Apostle said:
“You are the temple of the Lord.”
And the Lord enters into your inner self
into this house,
to cleanse it from everything that is unclean,
but only while the door — that is, your mouth –
is closed shut.
– Aphrahat, the Persian Christian Mystic (Third Century AD)

I have never ever met a spiritual person who engages himself/herself in backbiting, spreading rumours and being jealous of others’ achievement: and I have never seen a spiritual person who lends his/her ears to such heresy. Cheers, friends, I love you all

Our “true” birthday is the day when we begin to awake, to rise up from the mud of unconsciousness, and face the light of sun. To face the sun of consciousness is to leave behind all strings, all ties connecting us with the mud of anger, jealousy, greed, ill-feelings, and etcetera.
Keeping a new string, or forging another tie, leaving behind the old strings and ties – that is not being conscious.
Let us be conscious, remain conscious and spread consciousness, while praying for them who are, perhaps, allergic to living consciously, “Get well soon, we pray for you.”
Today is a New Day, the day during Galungan Festival, when we celebrate the Victory of Dharma-Consciousness by Living Consciously in Dharma…
Happy Dharma Day!
