Secrets of the Universe!

January 26, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Go out of your way to make others happy … to those souls who cross your path, give kindness and love. – Yogananda

look beyond things

We’re taught that to know the Universe we must study the places, animals and things of the Universe. If God (Universal Intelligence) created all things including humans and did so with a grand design in mind; Wouldn’t getting to know other humans be the ultimate way to understand God’s mind and therefore the Universe?

love people (it’s also our life purpose)

Love is the currency of the Universe and the only way to get to know others is to understand their motivations. To do that we must relate to them at the deepest levels, something that can only be done in love and with love. That’s the secret to discovering the ultimate secrets of the Universe … understand humans, through love, to understand God, the master creator!

It’s a Partnership!

January 25, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Allow yourself to pray. It is not enough to want or to intend or to meditate. You must pray. You must talk. You must ask. You must believe. That is a partnership. – Gary Zukav

god is a person

The Universal Energy that created the ear, can it not hear? The Force that created emotions, cannot it not feel? The Energy that enabled us to have relationships, can it not have relationships itself?

build a partnership

If God is a person, we must talk to him. We ought to talk to him like we do with those we know intimately. We must trust that God hears and we must build a relationship. No formula, then, is necessary, just be natural.

This Is It…

January 24, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Breathe a prayer of gratitude. And give those you love an extra measure of affection. Life is fleeting and love is precious. Cherish both. – Galen Guengerich

life is fleeting

Benjamin Zander relates a touching story in this video (must watch!). An elder sister in a train escaping Nazi Germany gets really mad at her brother when he announces that he can’t find his shoes. Unfortunately that’s the last conversation they ever have. The sister later pledges that she’ll never ever utter another sentence to anyone if she knows it can’t be the last thing she’ll ever say to that person! Imagine her anguish. Life is fleeting…

regret not later

Let’s make the most of the lovely people around us. Let’s appreciate them, love them, touch them, hug them, serve them, kiss them and let’s never say anything to them that we would regret later.

Truth Triumphs…

January 21, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that … let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe … the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. – Martin Luther King Jr

don’t be violent with your own-self

Thoughts of resentment, dislike, revenge and the like, only hurt the one who manufactures them. The more you dwell on such thoughts, the more you hurt yourself.

faith in justice

Truth will triumph. Mend your mind and you mend your whole life! Be the loving and thoughtful gardener of the fertile soil that is your self. The first step is to forgive the perpetrator and then yourself. Now, know, that all will work out great eventually, keep the faith.

Learning From The Unpleasant

January 20, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. – Kahlil Gibran

our perspective

Same here, I’m too am ungrateful for these learning opportunities and great teachers who pop in appropriately into our lives! What keeps us from having the right perspective?

defending the ego

It’s because we’re always in defensive mode. We want to convince others of our wisdom and smartness. We can’t stand not being right. If someone is being unkind or intolerant, they must be wrong.

The Universe and Life are not against us. This is a grand drama with amazing purposes, quite unknown to us, that’s being played out. It doesn’t serve us to have the wrong attitude. We ought to be humble and learn from what Life arranges for us!

Secrets To Great Relationships

January 19, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Let people live in your heart. – Toshiro Kanamori

operate from the heart

The best way to great relationships is to allow everyone to live in your heart. That’s where true understanding and love live.

the 2 secrets

The other secret to great relationships is to always address the spirit/soul inside each human. When you address the ‘highest’ in others you often get the highest back!

Whenever conferring with another, either face to face or across the miles, whether a human being, departed spirit, or sentient tree, always speak to the highest within them. – The Universe

You Never Die

January 18, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

I want to go on living even after my death,
And therefore I am grateful to God
For giving this gift…
Of expressing all that is in me. – Ann Frank

you’ll be forever

That’s Eternity’s promise to you. What do you make of it? How would life change?

the goal

A corollary to living forever is that everyone around you is also precious. Imagine living, without fear… of any kind. That’s the goal. To live fearlessly, loving others, expressing the Universe in all our ways.
