Quotes
On Mahatma Gandhi’s Death Anniv today I am reminded of one of his central teachings often quoted by Nehru, and that is: don’t do anythg in hiding. For whatever u do in hiding indicates ur fear.
Either we are then not sure of what we are doing, or not convinced that what we are doing is “spititually” ethical, soulfully moral.
We do many things out of ego, just to feed our lowest animalistic instincts, thereby we put the human within us to shame, and it is the human within us who fearS in situations like that.
He Ram, He Ram, He Ram

Quotes
The Master reminded us of Angada’s story, “Be yet no emissaries like Angad. The Lord deputed him to put some sense into Ravana’s head, instead, he got carried away by Ravana’s sweet but poisonous talk.
“He was rescued by Hanuman, who was the very personification of 3Ds of discipline, duty, and devotion.
“He was also rebuked by his mother Taradevi, who symbolized the purity of heart and clarity of mind.
“How fortunate was Angad at that moment of faith-crisis!
And, yet, i tell ye, that ye all are as fortunate as him. The only difference is that Angad was willing to listen to Hanuman and Mother Taradevi. Ye are not, ye turn deaf ears to such. Ye keep listenting to the Ten-Headed and ultimately become Ravana’s emissaries, leaving the Rama-fold. Wake up!”
Good day friends, love you all

Quotes
First step in spirituality is when we stop talking ill of others. Good Day friends, love you all

Not talking ill of others is not the same as not identifying ill as ill. It is only by identifying ill as ill that you can avoid or overcome it. Love you all friends

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)
