“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

“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)

Merry Christmast 2011

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….

Beware of those

“Beware of those,” says Kabir, “who praise you indiscreetly, for they boast and elevate your ego; and, be grateful to them who criticize you, for they help you in going beyond it.”

Love cannot be thought about

Love cannot be thought about, love cannot be cultivated, love cannot be practised. The practice of love, the practice of brotherhood, is still within the field of the mind, therefore it is not love. When all this has stopped, then love comes into being, then you will know what it is to love. Then love is not quantitative but qualitative. You do not say, “I love the whole world” but when you know how to love one, you know how to love the whole. Because we do not know how to love one, our love of humanity is fictitious. When you love, there is neither one nor many: there is only love. It is only when there is love that all our problems can be solved and then we shall know its bliss and its happiness. (J.Krishnamurti)

Love opens all doors

Love opens all doors, no matter how closed they may be, no matter how rusty from lack of use. Your work is to bring unity and harmony, to open all doors which have been closed for a long time. Have patience and tolerance. Open your heart all the time. (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi)

Now, that’s love

Nancy was having coffee with Helen.
Nancy asked, “How do you know your husband loves you?”
“He takes out the garbage every morning.”
“That’s not love. That’s good housekeeping.”
“My husband gives me all the spending money I need.”
“That’s not love. That’s generosity.”
“My husband never looks at other women.”
“That’s not love. That’s poor vision.”
“John always opens the door for me.”
“That’s not love. That’s good manners.”
“John kisses me even when I’ve eaten garlic and I have curlers in my hair.”
“Now, that’s love.” (Osho)
