INSPIRATION for LIVING


    "One must seek the shortest way and the fastest means to get back
    home - to turn the spark within into a blaze, to be merged in and to
    identify with that greater fire which ignited the spark"     Nityananda




    Love and serve all humanity.

    Assist everyone.

    Be happy, be courteous.

    Be a dynamo of irrepressible joy.

    Recognize God and goodness in
    every face.

    There is no saint without a past
    and no sinner without a future.

    Praise everyone.
    If you cannot praise someone,
    let them out of your life.

    Be original, be inventive.

    Be courageous.
    Take courage again and again.

    Do not imitate; be strong, be upright.
    Do not lean on the crutches of others.
    Think with your own head. Be yourself.

    All perfection and every divine virtue
    are hidden within you.
    Reveal them to the world.
    Wisdom, too, is already within you.
    Let it shine forth.

    Let the Lord's grace set you free.

    Let your life be that of the rose;
    in silence, it speaks the language of fragrance.

    Babaji of Herakhan, Himalayas





    "You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
    Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour!

    There are things to be considered: Where are you living? What are
    you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in right relation?
    Where is your water? Know your garden.

    It is time to speak your truth. Create your community. Be good to
    each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

    Know, the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of
    the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open,
    and our heads above water. See who is there with you and celebrate.

    At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of
    all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and
    journey comes to a halt.

    The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

    Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.
    All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in
    celebration.

    We are the ones we've been waiting for!"

    Anonymous Hopi elder




    Remember, the body does not last for ever.  Age prowls like a
    leopard, diseases strike like an enemy.  It is a wonder how people
    can be so complacent and unmindful when everywhere there is
    thunder of crash.  Time flies without your knowing.  Prosperity is
    like a dream, youth like a blossom, life-span momentary like
    lightning.  Even a hundred years is too little, for half the life is
    spent in sleep and the other half is made infructuous by infancy,
    disease, misery, age and what not.

     Deluded by ignorance (avidya), he looks not at what is seen, grasps
    not what is heard, follows not what is read.  He fails to see that
    with every moment that passes this body decays.  The Wolf of Time
    rushes upon him when he is still prattling of my children, my wife,
    my wealth, my relations.  Death swallows him when he is still
    thinking of what is done, what is yet to be done and what is half-
    done.  

    Therefore do today what is required to be ready tomorrow, do in
    the forenoon what is meant for the afternoon.  Death waits not to
    see what is done or not done.    Kularnava Tantra
