For The Love Of God…

Leave a comment

9.29 I am the same to all beings, and my love is ever the same; but those who worship me with devotion, they are in me and I am in them. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 9)

god of all

The one God is the God of all. God’s expression is through love, he loves us equally and is no respecter of persons. In other words he doesn’t favor one over another. When we experience love, we experience the very essence of the creator and his creation.

worshipping god

What does worshipping God mean? When we spend time with God, contemplating his personality, his vastness, and his love, then that constitutes worship of God. In that state we’re closer to God and can literally experience the love that he showers upon us.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM filled with God’s love.

Questions We Must Ask…

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? – bing

blog series

I found a bunch of thought-provoking questions on the web today and I thought that they would make a great blog series as well, so here they are!

what age?

What age will we be if we didn’t care? What age will we be today, if appearance, wealth or reputation didn’t matter? What age would we choose if we could choose a new age? How old are we? How young can we be?

Daily Affirmation: Today I choose my age!

Why We Must Stop, Drop & Roll!

Leave a comment

Learn to pause… or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you. – Doug King

fire!

We are people on the go! We wake up in a hurry, go to school/work in a hurry. We do this while breathing hard and fast, thinking quick thoughts and never stopping to smell the rose. Let’s Stop, Drop & Roll!

stop, drop and roll…

When there’s a fire everyone’s advised to Stop, Drop & Roll! We can do the same in daily life, because right now our rushing through the day has reached emergency proportions.

  1. Let’s stop. Center in the moment.
  2. Drop. Let’s sit down somewhere if possible.
  3. Roll. Enjoy the moment completely, roll in the hay, smell the roses!

When we do that we can more easily connect to Universal Currents, we can tap into our Center and be poised to live our Life Purpose!

Daily Affirmation: Today I pause and breathe in deeply.

How Can Life Be An Exciting Adventure?

Leave a comment

We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about. – Joseph Campbell

the outer

We’re mostly focused on topics of ‘outer value’. We dwell on questions like: ‘How do others view me?’, ‘How can I get there?’, ‘How can I get ahead?’, ‘What’s in it for me?’ etc.

the inner

Being alive to ‘inner values’ is to be intensely present in the current moment while being aware of true goals. When we know our Life Purpose (true goals) and can flow through the day living in the moment then we’re on the right path! Along the path we’ll meet folks who are like-minded and find opportunities that’ll help us grow. Life then is an adventure, jump on!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I focus on what’s truly important.

What To Do Now?

Leave a comment

Time is life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable. To waste your time is to waste your life, but to master your time is to master your life and make the most of it. – Alan Lakein

time value

Each breath we take is a measure of time and of our life. Just like each breath is precious so is the time that the breath occupies. And each such moment is unique. What will we make of it?

now or never!

Each moment we have 2 choices:

  • To Be: We can relax, collect our thoughts and figure out what comes next. Breathe….
  • To Do: Take action based on a plan we’ve made previously. If we don’t have a plan, let’s make one, now. Action!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I master life by mastering time.

What It Takes To Be Great…

Leave a comment

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. – Martin Luther King Jr.

greatness

We’re all driven. Driven by our genes, the circumstances that define us, our aspirations and our desires. Sooner or later we learn that the only worthwhile desires are those that provide longer lasting fulfillment and happiness. They also happen to be desires that involve people other than us. Selfishness doesn’t satisfy in the long run. Of course selfishness is understandable because we feel that if we don’t take care of us, who will? Greatness comes from realizing that a greater force is in charge of everything, including us. That force when allowed will guide us into a very satisfying and fulfilling life.

via love

That greater reality, that force that beckons and guides us is approached via love. It in fact is love. When we allow such love to flourish in our heart and flow out from us in the form of kind service then we’re living our moment-by-moment purpose. Then all is well. Our soul slowly becomes ‘generated by love’ itself. The entire universe then becomes our playground and everyone around us is a brother or sister. We’ve arrived as cosmic citizens!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM powered by love.

How The Truth Can Set Us Free!

Leave a comment

9.6 Even as the mighty winds rest in the vastness of the ethereal space, all beings have their rest in me. Know thou this truth.

9.13 But there are some great souls who know me: their refuge is my own divine nature. They love me with a oneness of love: they know that I am the source of all. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 9)

the truth

As is often said, ‘we move and have our being’ in God. It is a Truth that can set us free. We play in God’s lap, we’re ultimately safe, nothing of eternal import can harm us. We ought to be worry free. We ought be full of joy and celebrate!!

through love

When we can daily experience God’s partnership in life, when we feel his love and can be conduits for it, when we serve others in love without seeking reward, then we know God and know that he is Source.

Daily Affirmation: Today I serve and trust the Source.
