Gita, Quotes - 2011

Why God is God…

7.6 All things have their life in this Life, and I am their beginning and end.

7.7 In this whole vast universe there is nothing higher than I. All the worlds have their rest in me, as many pearls upon a string.

7.8 I am the taste of living waters and the light of the sun and the moon. I am OM, the sacred word of the Vedas, sound in silence, heroism in men. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7)

origin

We live in time and space. Time appears to move in one direction, forward and space appears to be expanding at all times. That’s highly suggestive of all things having originated at a time far distant in the past. Origins beg a cause. That ‘first cause’ can be termed God. According to The Gita, all Western Religions and many other belief systems, God is the ultimate person. He knows and he sees, just like we can. He created it, and us all, for a grand purpose…we can relate with her directly and one-on-one!

the highest

The highest ideals and the highest qualities are reflective of the creator. All creation marches towards perfection by accentuating and experiencing these ideals and qualities. That then is also a purpose of it all. God is alive and well, rejoice, fear not and ‘be exceedingly glad’.

Gita, Quotes - 2011

When There’s Nothing Else to Know…

7.1 Hear now, Arjuna, how thou shalt have the full vision of me, if thy heart is set on me and if, striving for Yoga, I am thy refuge supreme.

7.2 And I will speak to thee of that wisdom and vision which, when known, there is nothing else for thee to know. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7)

for the asking

The goal of the ages is obtainable just for the asking. This book reveals that when the pupil is ready the teacher appears; when we ask we’re given. That’s especially true if we seek the ‘kingdom of God’ within because then everything else that’s spiritually necessary to achieve this ultimate goal is added onto our lives.

the greatest knowledge

The greatest knowledge is that which:

  • Allows us to live happy and fulfilling lives today
  • Helps us understand reality and our place in it
  • Clarifies for us where we’re headed

According to this ‘bible’ of the Hindus, when we seek ‘Yoga’ (union) with ultimate reality (God) then we start a chain of events that ultimately leads us to the very doorstep of All That Is.

Daily Affirmation: Today I seek God.

Quotes - 2011

That Which We Must Conquer…

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. – Sir Edmund Hillary

never the external

All that we dislike, all that irritates us, all that we desire and want has an origin in our inner life. It’s how we interpret life and circumstances that determines how we do and how we feel about self and others. So the quest for peace, for happiness, towards fulfillment and self-realization must begin and end within.

inner life

Our inner life is therefore paramount. Nothing more and nothing else. What does that mean? It’s all about…

  • How we view self and others
  • What irritates and pleases us
  • What’s important to us, our life purpose
  • How we can stay happy and selfless

How’s our inner-life?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM aware of self.

Why There’s Nothing to Fear…

The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. – A Course In Miracles

why we fear

Beyond biological fear that’s handed down generationally, there’s the everyday fear that we often live with. Where does it come from? There are many shallow and peripheral reasons why we feel fear. These can be fear of losing health, wealth, family and the like. If examined at deeper levels the reason is exactly what the amazing quote above highlights. We fear life and its circumstances because we fall for the illusion that it’s all up to us!!

freedom from fear

All we see and all we experience is within the über paradigm we may call God. We literally move and have our being in God. Nothing goes unnoticed in the universe. If we believe that we’re fully responsible for us, we’ll always be disappointed because we cannot ensure our ultimate well-being. We’re simply not capable enough. We can instead rely on God as an essential anchor through-out our day and our lives. Doing so is the pre-requisite to a happy, peaceful, fulfilling and fearless life! Try it.

How To Fly…

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. – Henry Ford

head winds

The world is being buffeted with hard situations. Let’s remember that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel and that there’s a silver lining to just about every situation. Let’s learn from the Japanese people on how to stay stoic and civilized even when the worst happens!

flight

All will be well. We must have faith and believe that; then continue to move in a forwardly direction. That’s the way out, that’s what’s required, let’s keep at it, because we’ll have no choice then, but to fly!

Why We Can’t Be Broken

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. – Ernest Hemingway

broken?

After the devastating Tsunami in Nippon we’re all feeling a sense of loss, fear and uncertainty about the future. It’s so natural to feel that way. Let’s invite that feeling and not push it away. When we do that we come face to face with it and can experience it fully. Doing that is our ticket to feeling better. A primary goal of life is to banish fear and to embrace love in its stead.

prayer

The idea is to raise our own vibrations and not be affected by negative vibes from outside ourselves. A great way to raise our vibrations is to pray, to chant , to sing and to generally reach for and experience joy. As we do that, we heal and become capable of serving and healing others. Rejoice my friends because we’re all ultimately safe, believe this truth and celebrate!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM safe and joyous!
