' Nothing will be the Same '...
...if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.

'What is Christ Consciousness ?'...
The term “Christ” means a person whose conscious of their behavior and actions, and can give/receive love and compassion without wanting anything back in return.“Christ Consciousness” means, a person who embraces and demonstrates divinity. Divinity refers to the highest characteristics, personal qualities of the absolute divine. Therefore, a “Divine Person” means an individual that can demonstrate and project the attributes of unconditional love and compassion consciously through their thoughts, actions and behavior. Christ refers to the understanding and awareness of the divinity and your primary purpose as a spiritual being. When you have found your spiritual connection with the universe and with the Creator, this will manifest outwardly as unconditional love, joy and compassion. When an individual consciously demonstrates these divine attributes this is known as “Christ Consciousness.” When we speak of the second coming of Christ, it means we will be returning back to the vibration of God Source, the frequency associated with the Absolute Divine; Christ Consciousness......................

' While in Walden '...
“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagvat Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions. I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug. I meet his servant come to draw water for his master, and our buckets as it were grate together in the same well. The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges.”

' The Bhagavad Gita '...
The Bhagavad-Gita
Translated by Dr. Ramananda Prasad
Courtesy of The International Gita Society
...........................
Universal Form of the Lord Krishna INTRODUCTION
..................................................
The Gita is a doctrine of universal truth. Its message is universal, sublime, and non-sectarian although it is a part of the scriptural trinity of Sanaatana Dharma, commonly known as Hinduism. The Gita is very easy to understand in any language for a mature mind. A repeated reading with faith will reveal all the sublime ideas contained in it. A few abstruse statements are interspersed here and there but they have no direct bearing on practical issues or the central theme of Gita. The Gita deals with the most sacred metaphysical science. It imparts the knowledge of the Self and answers two universal questions: Who am I, and how can I lead a happy and peaceful life in this world of dualities. It is a book of yoga, the moral and spiritual growth, for mankind based on the cardinal principles of Hindu religion.
' Compassion '...
You can't make yourself be compassionate, you can only keep stepping back and becoming a larger container in which compassion wants to live. The practice should open us up, and crack open our hearts again and again.
.................................... Judith Hanson Lasater
' Stillness '...
Stillness is not the absence or negation of energy, life, or movement. Stillness is dynamic. It is unconflicted movement, life in harmony with itself, skill in action. It can be experienced whenever there is total, uninhibited, unconflicted participation in the moment you are in—when you are wholeheartedly present with whatever you are doing.
....................................... Erich Schiffmann
' The Beginning of Love '...
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Pure love ... knows that only one thing is needed to please God: to do even the smallest things out of great love - love, and always love.

' Thoughts on a Friday Night '...
I live near New York City, the leading member of the Lost Lives of the World..
But, I do not fear death..
There is nothing that does not Die within an Illusion..
All Manifestation returns to Dust..
Many Souls fear the end of Manifestion and Egoic-desire..
When you no longer fear the loss of a Dream, You are Free..
So many Spiritual Masters speak to us of Love..
This has always been the Secret of Freedom..
Those that spoke of Love were usually Killed..
You exist within a Dream of Egoic-desire and Material Desire..
It is not too late to Awaken..
Living or Dying is a Win-Win experience..

' You Are More '...
You are more than you think you are. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realization and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourself. Your life is much deeper and broader than you conceive it to be here. What you are living is but a fractional inkling of what is really within you, what gives you life, breadth, and depth.

If there is a purpose in life at all, there must be a purpose in suffering and in dying. But no man can tell another what this purpose is. Each must find out for himself, and must accept the responsibility that his answer prescribes. If he succeeds he will continue to grow in spite of all indignities.

' lieing to Yourself '...
A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself.

' The Art of Dying '...
“As we know, bears hibernate in caves. They appear almost lifeless. This is an analog to the practices of ancient shamans, and to Sufis who practice the forty-day halvet (retreat), in which the Shaman would enter a cave, have an experience of dying, explore the spiritual realms, and then is reborn as the Initiate or Master (just as the bear is reborn each spring as it “wakes up” and leaves its cave).”

' The Universe has a Purpose '...
There is a certain sense in which I would say the universe has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance. Some people take the view that the universe is simply there and it runs along-it's a bit as though it just sort of computes, and we happen by accident to find ourselves in this thing. I don't think that's a very fruitful or helpful way of looking at the universe, I think that there is something much deeper about it, about its existence, which we have very little inkling of at the moment.

Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can.

' The Light of Source '...

Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.

' Time '...
For most men, time moves slowly, oh so slowly, they don't even realize it. But time has revealed itself to me in a very special way. Time is a rushing, howling wind that rages past me, withering me in a single, relentless blast, and then continues on. I've been sitting here passively, submissive to its rage, watching its work. Listen! Time, howling, withering!

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own [will], is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

' Stillness to Supreme Reality '...
Q: Beloved GM,
You say, "That Stillness is only the beginning..."
What do you mean by this?
What is beyond Stillness?
GM:First know that you are Consciousness only at present..
In your 'I amness' Consciousness only everything is perceived just now !
Your Consciousness does not know that it is Consciousness only at present.
Unnecessarily it is trapped at the personality level identity as it is always identifying all the outer happenings to be more real....
By not going inwardly...
Only when your Consciousness goes Inwardly....
it knows that it is Consciousness only ....!
By closing eyes your Consciousness knows the stillness within.!
This stillness cannot be underestimated as it Contains all that perceived in space in nascent stage.
This Stillness is Unmoving...
Unchanging....!
You find Peacefulness in this Stillness.
This Stillness is not moving....
Every movement begins in Stillness only just now.!
In this Stillness...there is no movement...
So the frequency of movement is Nil...
in Stillness.............................................
Where as every movement in space begins from this Stillness only.
This you can know by abiding in Stillness consistently....and Observing Silently...
I say this Stillness is only the beginning of the Consciousness and not the end....
My question is who is the Observer of this Stillness within?
The Observer is beyond Stillness...just now.!
You are asking
What is beyond Stillness?..................................
The Absolute Observer is prior to Stillness.
The Absolute Observer is Non Dual...!
The Observer Observes the Stillness within...as well all the Sound and movements that happen in space silently.
The Observer is prior to Consciousness.!
Light is Consciousness!................................
Stillness is only the beginning of Consciousness within.!
Stillness indicates the light within!
The Observer is the Source of Light itself!
You are That.!...........................................
You get to know your Supreme Reality beyond duality only through stillness...
Hence knowing the Consciousness is most important in this inner journey...
Only through Stillness your Consciousness starts waking up...
Better know the stillness within and Observe Silently to know the Absolute Observer in you just now.!
Will you?

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved.

' The Real Cause of War '...
We have to see the truth; how mankind is dividing itself by various theories, dogmas, principles, philosophies, beliefs, how each one is trying to fulfill, trying to become something in this world; and how this is the real cause of war, of destruction and degeneration.
But we do not want to face that; we want economic safety; we want outside conditions to be altered without radically, fundamentally bringing about a transformation in our own thinking, in our own feelings.
It is only when we see this truth that there is a possibility of stopping wars, of seeing that the inventions which can be the means of appalling destruction do not bring greater misery and havoc to mankind........................................

' Why did Source Create Evil ?'...
Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul!
A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
- Everything that exists was created by God?
One student bravely answered:
- Yes, created by God.
- Did God create everything? - a professor asked.
“Yes, sir,” replied the student.
The professor asked :
- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.
The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said:
- Can I ask you a question, professor?
"Of course," replied the professor.
A student got up and asked:
- Professor, is cold a thing?
- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?
Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:
- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat..........................................
A student continued:
- Professor, does darkness exist?
— Of course it exists.
- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light..............................................
In the end, the young man asked the professor:
- Sir, does evil exist?
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil........................
To this, the student answered:
- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.........................................................
