Gita, Quotes - 2011

I AM Because I AM…

July 10, 2011 Manu Leave a comment

10.39 … I am the seed of all things that are; and that no being that moves or moves not can ever be without me.

10.42 Know that with one single fraction of my Being I pervade and support the Universe, and know that I AM. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 10)

no place to go

No place to go where God isn’t; no thought to think without the I AM experiencing it, nothing to do without God. We live in the very substance of God. Truly have we nothing to worry about, we come from God, we live and have our being in him and we’re headed towards an increasing realization of All That Is…

i am

I AM is the original postulate. God just is. He lives and inhabits the present moment, completely, and he encompasses all time and space. We can identify with him and know his nature, if we but choose to do so. He waits patiently, all-the-while surrounding us with unconditional love…

Why Truth and Love Must Combine…

July 7, 2011 Manu 2 Comments

… the writer’s great weapon is the truth and integrity of his voice. And as long as what you’re saying is what you truly, honestly believe to be the case, then whatever the consequences, that’s fine. – Salman Rushdie

authors

We are all authors. Authors of our lives. Authors of our relationships. And authors of how we experience what happens to us. We design whether we’re happy or miserable.

truth

Truth must be a guiding principle. Unless we’re true to self and truth-oriented in general, we’ll never be at ease in this universe. There comes a time when our truth isn’t anyone else’s. Which means that our interpretation of life isn’t accepted by someone else. What’s the way forward? Combine truth with love. The two should be inseparable. Truth by itself can be dry and love alone might be ineffective. Life is always more than it appears…

How To Escape Hell…

July 6, 2011 Manu Leave a comment

May those whose hell it is to hate and hurt be turned into lovers bringing flowers. – Shantideva

hell

It’s hell when…

We have no control over the negativity of our thoughts
We aren’t loved or believe that we aren’t loved
We flounder about not knowing where life is heading

We choose whether we live in this kind of hell; it’s up to us. There is a way out…

love

The way out is through love. If we’re unable to feel love in our being it’ll be hard for us to make the right decision about important matters. To enjoy the love that pervades this Universe we may do the following:

Forgive: We must forgive everyone and everything. Truly forgive any wrongs, real or otherwise, done to us
Allow: Once we forgive we can take the next step. We must make the decision to allow the divine to express itself through us
Receive: Then all we have to do is be still and receive. Divine intelligence does the rest. Love flows into us and expects expression
Express: We must express that which we receive. Love (God) desires expression through us. We must give it away to grow it and to keep experiencing it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a weapon of love…

How To Endure And Overcome!

July 5, 2011 Manu Leave a comment

The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it. – Blood of the Martyr

endurance

We’re put through certain experiences to become better humans. We can live all experiences in the following ways:

Kicking and screaming: Which means we’ll likely have to relive the lesson being imparted until we get it!
Without awareness: We’ll probably learn the specific lesson but may not be very good at applying it broadly.
Fully Participating: This kind of participation yields the highest benefits to us, the folks we interact with and therefore the entire Universe.

We gain wisdom and endurance when we fully participate with the plans of the Intelligence that pervades all time and space…

strength

Once we understand that life is a series of lessons and that endurance is a key attribute that God desires us to have, we can ‘flow’ with life… We experience it without kicking and screaming, life is then most meaningful…We can overcome any life situation.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM like the Willow, strong!

What Is True Success?

July 4, 2011 Manu Leave a comment

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. – Oprah Winfrey

who are we?

That is the ultimate question isn’t it?

Who are we?
Where do we come from?
For what purpose and to what end?

Answers to these questions are an eternal quest. We gain clues by:

Discovering and acknowledging our strengths and skills
Understanding how others view our capabilities
Figuring out what really interests and excites us
Uncovering what our ‘inner-self’ tries to communicate to us

the greater power

True success may only be experienced when our highest talents and ideals combine with the larger purposes of the Universe. True success actualizes when we know our place in the Universe, can collaborate with God and act on our highest ideals…

The Beginning, End and Middle…

July 3, 2011 Manu Leave a comment

10.20 I am the soul, prince victorious, which dwells in the heart of all things. I am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all that lives. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 10)

in the heart

It has been stated, boldly and explicitly, in most religious texts.

God resides within.

It’s the greatest truth ever that was revealed to man by God and made evident to him, in his own heart. ‘Despair not’, God says, ‘all is well, I’m in your heart, I hear you, I care for you, you’re not alone, rejoice! And remember, I reside in every other heart, so take good care of your brethren, my children.’

all that is

There is nothing but the divine. In our circumscribed internal world, our models of the world, we might dream up that which is not wholesome and make it externally real. But we’re contained in divinity, surrounded by the holy and we march to the drum of the eternal…

Why There’s No Need To Worry!

June 30, 2011 Manu Leave a comment

If you pray, why worry? If you worry, why pray? – St. Padre Pio

worry?

Set an hourly timer and ask the following questions of self:

What was my dominant thought the last hour?
What am I dwelling on right now?

Increasing awareness is the silver bullet that will kill all the demons within and without. More and more of us are doing this across the planet and for that reason our future, for the first time in history, is bright, rejoice!

pray

Prayer is our connection with the Divine or if you will, with the Universal currents. As we pray, even constantly, chatting with ‘All That Is’, with the Parent of all that we see and experience, we strengthen our connection. If we trust in an all-seeing Upholder, we have nothing to worry about, period.
