come back
We’ve been on a misadventure. When we wish we can go back home. When we’ve had enough we can all head back home to safety. Actually we’re already home, when we really want we can decide to wake up from this dream.
‘This world is not real’. Come back with me. Come back.
illusory
Could it be that we’re living in a mass, self-perpetuated hallucination or a virtual reality world? Can it be that, like what some religions suggest, we’re living in an illusory reality, a dream? And if so, how can we wake up from it? How can we be awake to our true nature?
not special
This is contrary to what one might expect. Love can be special, is special, we say. What this quote is saying is that when we love someone more than anyone else we’re making exceptions that are ego-based. The source of love is God and God will not and cannot love one part of his creation more than another. Love cannot make exceptions and therefore ‘is not special’. Our love, if we are to truly become the love that we already are, must be like God’s for her creation.
express love
Expressing love, because we are love, is our prime duty and privilege. God, being love, and everything, means that love is what we must realize we already are. That’s really our only purpose on this planet. Any other pursuit is foolhardy and not worth anything. We deserve to live happy, healthy and joyous lives. That’s only possible if we allow the miraculous love of God to be expressed through and as us.

labor day
Yesterday was Labor Day in the United States. What’s the purpose of any or all work? The purpose of anything that we do in life must be to fulfill ourselves deeply, to be genuinely happy and to experience peace. According to the Bhagavad Gita, the purpose of life, and therefore work, is to realize our true identity within this reality. And one express way to achieve that goal is to consecrate all activity, all work, to the Divine.
