O brother! Not every sea hath pearls; not every branch will flower, nor will the nightingale sing thereon. Then, ere the nightingale of the mystic paradise repair to the garden of god, and the rays of the heavenly morning return to the sun of truth - make thou an effort, that haply in this dust heap of the mortal world thou mayest catch a fragrance from the everlasting garden, and live forever in the shadow of the people of this city. And when thou hast attained this highest station and come to this mightiest plane, then shalt thou gaze on the beloved, and forget all else. 'The beloved shineth on gate and wall without a veil, o men of vision.' now hast thou abandoned the drop of life and come to the sea of the life-bestower. This is the goal thou didst ask for; if it be god's will, thou will gain it.

All praise be to thee, o my god! Thou beholdest my helplessness and poverty, and bearest witness Unto my woes and trials. How long wilt thou abandon me among thy servants?

Ordain, then, for them every good conceived by thee and predestined in thy book. Thou art, verily, the all-powerful, he whom nothing whatsoever can frustrate. From everlasting thou hast been clothed with transcendent greatness and power, with unspeakable majesty and glory. There is no god beside thee, the almighty, the all glorious, the ever-forgiving. Glorified be thy name, thou in whose hand arc the kingdoms of earth and heaven.

Speech which eulogises the virtues of god is speech in the true sense of the term. Hands which perform god’s work are true hands. The mind which is engaged in remembering god as the indweller of beings, both animate and inanimate, is the proper type of mind. Ears which hear the sacred stories of his sports are true ears. The head which bows to both the forms of god is a true head. The eyes which behold both these forms are true eyes. Limbs which are baptised with the sacred water in which the feet of the lord and his devotees have been washed, are the only worthy limbs.

Only very few people live. Ninety-nine point nine per cent people only slowly commit suicide. Squeeze from each single moment all the pleasures, all the happiness possible, so that you do not repent later on, that “that moment passed and i missed.” There is no life after death, as you know life. And if there is any life, you have to learn to live now. To me life is equivalent to god. There is no other god than this life. To be unhappy, reasons are needed, but just to be happy, no reasons are needed. Happiness is enough unto itself. It is such a beautiful experience, what more do you need? Why should you need any cause for it? It itself is enough: it is a cause unto itself. If you can rejoice in this life totally, you will not be bothered at all what happens after death because so much will be happening now that you cannot imagine that more is possible. Bhagwan shree rajneesh (osho), words from a man of no words.

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.

-

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you.

a perfect master is both man and god. he is a man because he has the human form, but he is also god because he has spiritually become one with him. this is god’s own design because in no other way can he be realized. in his abstract form there can be no contact with god. so, he has to assume the human form to take man out of darkness into light, out of ignorance into knowledge, and out of bondage into freedom. when bulleh shah had the vision of god in his master, he blurted out: “the beloved has come as man!” and “god has come as man!” j.r. puri and t.r. shangari, bulleh shah; the love intoxicated iconoclast

How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?' Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.' A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.

Developing self-esteem requires an act of revolution, or several mini-revolutions, in which we begin to separate from group thought and establish our own sense of authority. We may suddenly realise we hold an opinion different from our family or our peers, but in either case we will have difficulty freeing ourselves from the group's energy, whose strength depends upon numbers and opposition to most expressions of individuality. The act of finding our own voice, even in mini-revolutions, is spiritually significant. Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person's opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them. By courage, I do not mean the intractable stubbornness of two people locking horns; that dynamic is a second chakra power play. Spiritual maturity, in contrast, is the capacity to stand one's ground as a reflection of a genuine inner belief. Caroline Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit

For those who believe in god, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone - written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us . - Charles Bukowski American novelist

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families.

The rise of the buffered identity has been accompanied by an interiorisation; that is, not only the Inner/Outer distinction, that between Mind and World as separate loci, which is central to the buffer itself; and not only the development of this Inner/Outer distinction in a whole range of epistemological theories of a mediational type from Descartes to Rorty, but also the growth of a rich vocabulary of interiority, an inner realm of thought and feeling to be explored. This frontier of self-exploration has grown to the point where we now conceive of ourselves as having inner depths.

Christmas wasn't a time of fun for all: The Victo¬rians threw themselves into charitable works with enthusiasm, giving Christmas boxes; presents of food and money to all the deserv¬ing poor of the parish, usually on the day after Christmas.

Remember, if Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under a tree.

The goal of fasting is inner unity this means hearing, but not with the ear; hearing, but not with the understanding; hearing with the spirit, with your whole being... The hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty. Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. When the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp... Fasting of the heart empties the faculties, frees you from limitation and from preoccupation. Fasting of the heart begets unity and freedom.

Everyone knows enough to condemn what he takes to be no good, but no one knows enough to condemn what he has already taken to be good. This is how the great confusion comes about, blotting out the brightness of sun and moon above, searing the vigor of, hills and streams below, overturning the round of the four seasons in between. There is no insect that creeps and crawls, no creature that flutters and flies that has not lost its inborn nature. So great is the confusion of the world that comes from coveting knowledge!

Compassion is the act of opening your heart. To live in a state of compassion means you approach the world with your emotional barriers lowered and your ability to connect with others intact... We do not all walk around with our hearts wide open all the time, however; doing so would leave us overwhelmed and in emotional danger. If I kept my heart open and exposed while watching the news every night, I would most likely never recover from the rush of helpless and hopeless feelings created by all the tragic stories. Sometimes it is necessary to keep your emotional barriers up as a way to protect yourself. The key to learning the lesson of compassion is realising that you are in control of the erection or destruction of those barriers that create distance between you and others. You can choose to dissolve those barriers when you want to connect with the heart of another human being. You can also choose to limit others' access to your heart when you need to, by forming judgments that separate you from that which you are judging.

Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look confidently at the world. We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities, and little by little we destroy it ourselves. With it we are creative. With it we march tirelessly. With it and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.

When we talk of emptiness, it means the absence of solidity, the absence of fixed notions which cannot be changed, which have no relationship to us at all but which remain as they are, separate. Form, in this case, is more the solidity of experience. In other words, it is a certain kind of determination not to give away, not to open. We would like to keep everything intact purely for the purpose of security, of knowing where we are. You are afraid to change. That sort of solidness is form. So "form is empty" is the ] absence of that security; you see everything as penetrating and open. But that doesn't mean that everything has to be completely formless, or nothing. When we talk of nothingness, emptiness, or voidness, we are not talking in terms of negatives but in terms of nothingness being everything. It's another way of saying "everything" — but it is much safer to say "nothing" at that particular level than "everything". Chogyam Trungpa The Law of the Seed

Promise Yourself: To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you. Christian D. Larson, Your Forces and How to Use Them

It is truth, in the old saying, that is 'the daughter of time, and the lapse of half a century has not left us many of our illusions. Winston Churchill tried and failed to preserve one empire. He failed to preserve his own empire, but succeeded in aggrandizing two much larger ones. His petulant refusal to relinquish the leadership was the despair of post-war British Conservatives; I believe this refusal had to do with his yearning to accomplish something that 'history' had so far denied him - the winning of a democratic election.

Religion is a constitutional necessity of the human mind. The proof of one religion depends on the proof of all the rest.

One religion only, like one set of six fingers in the world, would be unnatural. We see, therefore, that if one religion is true, all others must be true.

Before (pythagoras) the followers of science were called, not philosophers, but wise men, such as were those seven most ancient sages whose names are still known to fame; the first of whom was called solon. Pythagoras, being asked if he called himself a wise man, denied himself that name, and said that he was not wise, but a lover of wisdom. And thence it happened afterwards that all students of wisdom were called lovers of wisdom, that is, philosophers; for philo and sophia in greek are equivalent to love and wisdom. Whence we may see that these two words make up the name philosopher, that is to say, lover of wisdom; which we may observe is not a term of Arrogance, but of humility.

Why should the deposed prince or princess in every clichéd tale be chosen to lead the quest against the Dark Lord? Why not elect a new leader by merit, instead of clinging to the inbred scions of a failed royal line? Why not ask the pompous, "good" wizard for something useful, such as flush toilets, or electricity for every home?

And yet He is the Light of Lights whose blossoming is Paradise, That Beauty of the King which dawns upon the seers' enraptured eyes: I saw the King of Kings again, a miser with a heart grown cold, And yet He is the Prodigal, the Spendthrift of the Heavenly Gold, The largesse of whose glory crowns the blazing brows of cherubim, And sun and moon and stars and flowers are Jewels scattered forth by Him.

He who distinguishes good deeds from evil, who shows the results of karma - he is called a king. Ordained by the host of gods, the gods delight in him.

If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do.

First this little planet and all its winds and ways, and then all the laws of mind arid matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him, and, at last, out across immensities to the stars. And when he has conquered all the deep space, and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning.

Every night before going to bed just sit in your bed, put the light off. Close your eyes, relax your body and then just feel that the whole room is full of golden mist... as if gold mist is falling all around.... And within a few days you will be able to see the whole room becoming luminous in your vision. The inhale and feel that the golden mist is being inhaled deep in your heart. Your heart is just void, empty, and that golden mist goes into it, fills the heart. Then exhale: again feel that golden mist is going out and that your heart is again becoming empty, void, nothing inside.... This you do for five, seven minutes, nd then simply go to sleep, always go to sleep when you are empty. And you will have a very different kind of sleep more of the void, more of nothingness, ore of non-being. In the morning open your eyes feeling as if you have been in a totally different land. In the morning before you get out of your bed, sit again: for five minutes; repeat the same process... Hold the gold mist inside..., and the whole day you feel a ubtle energy flowing in you. In the night become empty, in the day become full. The next step will be that you simply remain a watcher.... You are neither day nor night, neither emptiness nor fullness, just a witness. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, The Zero Experience, A Darshan Diary (March , ) Simplify, simplify.

Francis and I were running against God, in the sense that we wanted to know what made us human. Both of us had been subjected religious truths which came by revelation, and we didn't have much acceptance of truths by revelation. We wanted to know really what we were. We were both very curious about what life was. What is life? And that thinking led you to "What is a gene?"

The intentions of the cybernetic totalist tribe are good. They are simply following a path that was blazed in earlier times by well-meaning Freudians and Marxists - and I don't mean that in a pejorative way. Movements associated with Freud and Marx both claimed foundations in rationality and the scientific understanding of the world. Both perceived themselves to be at war with the weird, manipulative fantasies of religions. And yet both invented their own fantasies that were just as weird. Jaron Lanier You Are Not a Gadget

The ideals and objectives of yesterday was still ideals of today, but they lost some of their luster and even, as one seemed to go towards them, they lost the shining beauty which had warmed the heart and vitalized the body. Evil triumphed often enough, but what was far worse was the coarsening and distortion of what seemed so right. Was human nature so essentially bad that it would take ages of training, before it could behave reasonably and raise man above the creature of lust and violence and deceit that he now was?

If, however, a man relegates God-realization to the domain of fate, he remains deprived of it; for no one has so far realized God as a matter of course by depending on one's luck. If liberation in the shape of God-realization could be automatically had, everyone would have been liberated till today. If, however, it is argued that God is realized through his grace it is no doubt true; but he alone gets the full benefit of his grace who recognizes his kindness to himself. Without recognizing his grace ever flowing towards oneself one remains deprived of its benefit. If, for example, a householder has a philosopher's stone in his possession but values it as no more than an ordinary stone, he remains deprived of the benefits accruing from a philosopher's stone. If, on the other hand, he brings it into touch with a piece of iron, knowing it to be a philosopher's stone, he comes to have its benefits. Similarly, God's supreme mercy extends on every living being; but failing to recognize it in full people remain deprived of its supreme benefit

Many a friend complain that although they may try their best, God does not favour them with his vision. They describe God as cruel, 'hard-hearted, and imagine that the Lord's heart is as hard as adamant and never melts. What interest has he in taking care of us, in granting us his vision, or making us his own? These and similar charges they level against God. The fact, however, is quite the reverse of it. The Lord's mercy on us is unlimited. He eagerly awaits every opportunity to manifest himself and tries on every occasion to bless the devot with his vision. He helps us at every step in all our spiritual effort. It is a common experience in the world that one has to hasten to a place where his affections are centred. He who has special attraction for us compels us to go to him leaving all engagements aside. When one refrains from going to a place, it indicates that love is deficient there. When such is the case with ordinary men like us, there is no wonder that God, who is an ocean of Love and compassion, should be ready to grant us Divine vision, if we possess only a little love for Him?

It is a great and beautiful spectacle to see a man somehow emerging from oblivion by his own efforts, dispelling with the light of his reason the shadows in which nature had enveloped him, rising above himself, soaring in his mind right up to the celestial regions, moving, like the sun, with giant strides through the vast extent of the universe, and, what is even greater and more difficult , returning to himself in order to study man there and learn of his nature, his obligations , and his end.

You’ll get over it… It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because ‘it is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death.

In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more than that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals.

Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?

Meditation is one of the most serious things; you do it all day, in the office, with the family, when you say to somebody, I love you' when you are considering your children; when you educate them to become soldiers, to kill, to be nationalised, worshipping the flag, educating them to enter into this trap of the modern world; watching all that, realising your part in it, all that is part of meditation. When you so meditate, you will find in it an extraordinary beauty; you will act rightly at every moment.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.

Pain is meant to wake us up . People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less selfish or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple Government. When unchecked, they produce the same effects of fraud and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

If you will be alive, there is nothing to worry about.If you die, there are again two things to worry about, whether you will go to heaven or you will go to hell.If you will go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.If you go to hell, you won’t find time to worry about anythingBecause you will be always busy in shaking the hands of your friends.Worry is like a revolving chair, which takes you nowhere.Don’t let your worries worry you.It is not miserable to be blind; it is miserable to be incapable of enduring blindness."

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion ... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them.

In this age, the mere example of non-conformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service., Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach, it is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage which it contained.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, is often the means of their regeneration.

Empathy, the ability to look at the world from another person's perspective, has long been recognised as vital for human cooperation and for the development of related virtues like compassion. Recent studies have shown that people's tendency to be empathetic can drop off in response to natural disasters and other calamities. It appears that imagining the experiences of so many suffering victims can make empathy feel overly costly, leading people to view the sufferers as 'other' or even 'not fully human'. But can our stores of empathy actually be extended to help people reach out rather than shutting down when confronted with others' needs? Researchers led by Penn State psychology professor C Daryl Cameron, will examine what factors influence how much empathy people feel and how much empathy they actually extend. One of the key insights driving the new project is that people's willingness to empathise is a Junction of whether they feel they will be successful or 'skilled' at it,

The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.

Just as a river after flowing for a long-time merge in the ocean and becomes the ocean, when Kundalini has finished Her work and stabilized in the SAHASRARA, you become completely immersed in God. All your impurities are destroyed and you take complete rest in the self. The veil, which made you see duality drops away, and you experience the world as a blissful play of Kundalini, a sport of God’s energy. You see the universe as supremely blissful light, undifferentiated from yourself, and you remain unshakable in this awareness. This is the state of liberation, the state of perfection.

As sat sangat is obtained through the guru's grace, the name of god lights up in our hearts. Amid sangat abides the lord. Without sangat one's self remains corrupted. Guru arjan, the fifth nanak, says in his famous composition sukhmani: "highest among all works is joining the sangat and thereby conquering the evil drift of the mind." Sangat or the fellowship of the holy, is thus applauded as a means of moral and spiritual uplift. It is as good a social unit that inculcates values of brotherhood, equality and service Without devotion to god, all your knowledge and detached actions are useless. The heart must throb in tune with the infinite. The embers of the inner fire must be kept burning day and night for it is the inward urge that will take the devotee to his god. But the devotee must not be selfish. He must work for others like a true karma yogi and give the best of his energy and talent for the betterment of the world.Yogi M.K. Spencer, how i found god?

Initially, we started with jokes and anecdotes, but after 10 days we ran out of jokes. That's when I got my breakthrough. Why not laugh for no reason? People were sceptical..

Laughter cannot be only amusement and entertainment. Real laughter is your nature. Madan Kataria, Founder, Laughter Club International.

No being ever was, or is, or will be, higher than the being that is filled with kama. It is the innermost core (of the world), o king of righteousness; on it is founded dharma and artha.

As honey is the sweet juice from the lower, so kama is from these two, according to the teaching of tradition. Kama is the womb of dharma and artha, and kama makes up their essence. Without kama the manifold workings of the world would not be thinkable.

Just as a seed cannot bring forth fruit unless it dies we can never be spiritually fruitful and realise the lord within ourselves until we have completely subdued our ego. As the seed has to merge in the earth in which it is planted, so has our ego to be eliminated. We can never be conscious of the lord as long as we are full of ego. Ego will eventually leave us only when we develop the quality of humility within ourselves. And this humility must not be superficial it must be real true humility comes naturally from within. Calculated and artificial humility is just like cosmetic jewellery. As long as we are attached to the objects of creation we are full of ego..... When we are attached to the divine melody within, we automatically become detached from this creation and are filled with genuine humility. Maharaj charan singh, light on saint john, chapter .

That's what I think. –Maya Angelou American poet

Desires must be consciously wiped out because they can create new impressions and in turn further desires which may lead to further binding actions.

Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost, they go out and look for them, and yet the people who have lost their hearts (or original nature) do not go out and look for them. The principle of self- cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart...

I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had. The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. - Michael Crichton Author

I gained the priceless gift of the lord's name - and a veritable treasure it is. The lord conferred on me a valuable gift; the teacher owned me as his own.

"This is the Truth- As from a well-blazing fire, sparks By the thousand issue forth of like form, So from the Imperishable, my friend, beings manifold are produced, and thither also go. Heavenly, formless is the person. He is without and within, unborn, Breathless, mindless, pure, Higher than the high Imperishable. From Him is produced breath, Mind and all the senses, Space, wind, light, water, And earth, the supporter of all. Fire is His head; His eyes, the moon and the sun; The regions of space, His ears; His voice, the revealed vedas; Wind His breath; His heart, the whole world. Out of His Feet, the earth, Truly, He is the Inner Self (atman) of all."

Do animals love? First, love means something different to everyone, making it hard to define. Second, there are many types of love, including the kind between parents and children, among siblings, and with couples. But the biggest problem is that animals can't tell us how they feel, and scientists can't set up experiments to find out. All we have to go by is our interpretation of an animal's facial expressions, vocalizations, body language, and behavior. Two stray cats were always together. Not only that, one led the other wherever they went, with their tails entwined. How come? Unable to get close to them because they were so wild, a woman who looked after stray cats trapped the pair. That's when it was discovered that one cat was blind. A cloudy film covered his eyes. His sighted brother acted as his guide, hanging onto his tail and always stepping a bit ahead.

They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

The wise man should always follow the roads that have been trodden by the great, and imitate those who have most excelled, so that if he cannot reach their perfection, he may at least acquire something of its savour. Acting in this, like the skillful archer, who seeing that the object he would hit is distant, and knowing the range of his bow, takes aim much above the destined mark; not designing that his arrow should strike so high, but that flying high it may alight at the point intended. -Niccolò Machiavelli Political philosopher

And there is nothing wastes so rapidly as liberality, for even whilst you exercise it you lose the power to do so, and so become either poor or despised, or else avoiding poverty-rapacious and hated. And a leader should guard himself, above all things, against being despised and hated; and liberality leads you to both. Therefore it is wiser to have a reputation for austerity which brings reproach without hatred, than to be compelled through seeking a reputation for liberality to incur a name for rapacity which begets reproach with hatred. -Niccolò Machiavelli

To chant daimoku each time we face a problem, overcoming it and elevating our life condition as a result of this is the path of ``changing earthly desires into enlightenment,'' taught in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.

I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -Nicholas Sparks Novelist

That is another chamber of my heart that shows no electrical activity, the chamber that used to flicker into life when I saw a film that moved me. I closed that chamber myself. And now I seem to have made a pact with some philistine devil: if I don't attempt to re-open it, I will be allowed just enough energy and optimism to get through a working day without wanting to hang myself.

No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God ... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to. -Orson F Whitney Spiritual leader

In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.

I destroy them.

All the religions say: Be egoless. They mean: Be harmonious. Their insistence to dissolve the ego is the insistence to dissolve the disturbance — become a rhythm, become an inner silence.

-

A religious person has nothing to do with organised religion, but he has something to do with the inner poetry, the poetry of life. He has something to do with the inner dance; he has a dancing energy. He is in deep romance with life, he is in romantic love with life. He is immensely grateful for each moment of joy that God goes on giving. And we are not even worthy. We don't deserve it. We have not earned it. It is a gift.

And isn't that, at it's core, what the princess fantasy is about for all of us? "Princess" is how we tell little girls that they are special, precious.

Maybe each human being lives in a unique world. If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. The problem is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication and there is the real illness. Philip K Dick American writer

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -the assurance that dawn comes night.

Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.

The love of God is the only Reality. We must realize this love of God so great, so joyful, I could not even begin to tell you how great it is! People in the world think, "I do this, I enjoy that." Yet whatever they are doing and enjoying inevitably comes to an end. But the love and joy of God that I feel is without any end. One can never forget it once he has tasted it; it is so great he could never want, anything else to take its place. What we all really want, is the love of God. And you will have it when you attain deeper realization.

As spiritual searchers, we need to become freer and freer of the attachment to our own smallness in which we get occupied with me-me-me. Pondering on large ideas or standing in front of things which remind us of a vast scale can free us from acquisitiveness and competitiveness and from our likes and dislikes. If we sit with an increasing stillness of the body, and attune our mind to the sky or to the ocean or to the myriad stars at night, the mind gradually stills and the heart is filled with quiet joy. Ravi Ravindra Author

We could say that the nativity is a myth. That does not mean that it is not true. A myth can be defined as something that, in some sense, happened once, but that also happens all the time. Myth reveals the underlying and timeless significance of an event. It is also a programme for action. The gospels are not accurate biographies of Jesus; like any religious text, they tell the reader how to behave. Unless a myth is put into practice, we do not grasp its full import. The Christmas myth reminds us that faith does not always bring comfort and joy but demands self-sacrifice, a commitment to justice and equity, and determination to seek the sacred in the outcast and dispossessed. Karen Armstrong in The Guardian I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays — let them overtake me unexpectedly—waking up some fine morning, saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!"

The light begins its slow return to places in the North, and today a new year begins. Some people are saying it already 'too late' — climate chaos, species loss, war, disparity — that we have gone too far, the darkness is too profound. We, however, believe no darkness is so profound that a single candle cannot dispel it. The Buddha's teaching on light and darkness is simple: they depend on each other for their existence, like 'above and below', 'left and right', 'birth and death' — take one away and its partner ceases to be. They do not have a separate self— and neither do we. Each of us is composed of many elements — our ancestors, DNA, what we consume, our relationships, and our actions. Maybe somewhere in the world, our 'opposite' also exists. Anger, outrage, despair, fear — these are common responses to the injustices we see around us. We want to take action, to rebel, to protest and oppose the people on the 'opposite' side of the issue or debate. However, we must be skillful at transforming these feelings into compassionate and non-violent action, if we want this kind of resistance to be effective. This resistance requires satyagraha.

But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields.

Krsna says, "Look at Me, Arjuna! If I stop from work for one moment, the whole universe will die. I have nothing to gain from work; I am the one Lord, but why do I work? Because I love the world." God is unattached because He loves; that real love makes us unattached. Wherever there is attachment, the clinging to the things of the world, you must know that it is all physical attraction between sets of particles of matter—something that attracts two bodies nearer and nearer all the time and, if they cannot get near enough, produces pain; but where ignorant do with desire for results and gain, let the wise do without any attachment and without any desire for results and gain.

An old man spread rumours that his neighbour was a thief As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him. In the court the old man told the judge: "They were just comments and did not harm anyone. “The judge told the old man: "Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Tear them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence." Next day, the judge told the old man: "Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday." The old man said: "I cannot do that. The wind spread them and I will not know where to find them. "The judge then replied: "The same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you cannot speak well of someone, rather do not say anything,"

To me, FEARLESS is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say you’re NOT sorry, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’s FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.

The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated.

A fire can, be extinguished; but the flame of desire is never extinguished. Pains affect the body for a while, then cease, and leave you at rest; but from the pain of desire you never get rest, unless you cure it by the medicine of true ' intelligence, and put desire away from you, and learn to abstain; for desire grows in strength if you follow it, but dies away if you turn from it and abstain.

The man who proceeds with a work after knowing it to be highly difficult and who has long views at the commencement enjoys happiness for ever. The man who has presence of mind can proceed with the work as he gets it. Success is doubtful either through fickleness or through difficulty of the work. The man who does not attempt the work even at the proper time is lazy. He can never have success and is ruined with his family. The adventurous man is he who commences a work without knowing the effects is sure to be unhappy either through the action or its effects. The procrastinating man is he who does little work in much time. He suffers from insignificance of results. One should therefore be far sighted. Work done adventurously may sometimes bear good fruits. Sometimes, even well-considered actions are futile. Yet one should never do anything abruptly, such actions are harmful. Sometimes good comes out of evil actions. And the evil which comes out of a good action is not the source of evils.

The merits of even enemies have to be recognised while the demerits of even preceptors have to be got rid of. Neither prosperity nor adversity is likely to be permanent. It is only the work of past lives that is the cause of permanent wealth or misery. The result of learning is wisdom and humility, that of wealth is sacrifice and charity, that of strength is known to be the protection of the good. The snake, the fire, the wicked man, the king, the soninlaw, the nephew the disease and the enemy these are not to be disregarded as being too small. The miserable, the blind, the dwarf and the dumb are never to be laughed at. One should not apply one’s mind to wrong deeds but carry out one’s duties without delay. The mans should give up vanity (and do his duty) by perseverance, strength, intelligence, patience, rashness or prowess.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down. Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not. Though weary, it is not tired; though pressed, it is not straitened; though alarmed, it is not confounded...
