Neither Be Not Not Be . Instead Be Without Being

Many days, I spent in wonder:
Who am I? Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
This writing is the result of my meditation.
It is by no means truth.
The truth, can only be realized within.
These words interpret
What I have found within my own heart.


We are body.
We are mind.
We are heart.
We are spirit.
We are light.
The body is what does.
The mind is what thinks.
The heart is what feels.
The spirit is what lives.
The light is what is.


The body is sustained by food, water, and air.
The mind is sustained by truth.
The heart is sustained by joy.
The spirit is sustained by purpose.
The light is sustained by its source.


The light is what was before being
and remains after being.
Yet being is not separate from what is,
for it is light taken shape and form
and coming into being.
Everything is light and born of light.
Even the shadows do not exist without light.


Examine the ten thousand things,
beyond form,
and find its only being
is the shape of its light.

The difference between the living
and the non-living
is that the sentient tend to the light.
The rest are like lamps without oil,
cold and still.


The world of being
is a world of suffering,
a world sustained by shadows.
It is created by our mistaking
this body, this mind, this heart and this spirit
for what is.
In forgetting our light
we forget what sustains us,
draw away from the source,
and we begin to grow dim.
We hunger
and desire is born.
We consume the light
of what surrounds us.
Our fulfillment is always short lived.
A desire fulfilled is replaced with another.
Fire must always be fed to be.
Suffering is born.


In the world of non-being
the flame is no longer fed.
It is losing self,
it is being no longer,
it is the flame put out.


Neither be
nor not be.
Instead,
be without being.


Like the bright star
in our corner of the universe,
that does not let go
of what she protects,
the source of our light
keeps us near.


Close your eyes
and see the shapeless form
that embraces us
within and without.
Close your ears
and hear the whisper
of the music that calls us home.


Find your original face.
Find the Way back home.

Peace Love And Happiness CAN WE ??


Can We Eat More Than our Hunger?
Can We Drink More Than What We Are Thirsty Of?
Can We Sleep More Than What Our Body Wants?
Can We breath More Air Than What We Require?
Can We Laugh more Than Our Heart Will Let Us?
Can We Hold Sand In Our Hand?
Can We Acquire and Never Loose It?


NO WE CAN NOT But..........
We Can Love More than What We Are Doing Now.
We Can help More People Than We Are helping Now.
We can Bring Smiles TO More People Around.
We can Share and Feed The Hungry.
We Can Love More and hate Less.
We Can Laugh More and Cry Less...


So Concentrate on What We CAN And Stop trying to DO What WE CANT.

Namasmarana

Namasmarana


 
Namasmarana is the best antidote for all ills. Never be ashamed to sing the name of God. Vemana did not visit any temple for long; for years he was laughing at those who considered the image as a symbol of Divinity. But when his daughter died, he was one day holding her picture in his hand, weeping over the loss. Then it struck him that if the picture could cause sorrow and bring tears, the divine image can evoke positive feelings and bring tears of joy to those who know the beauty and glory of God. The image was a reminder of divine presence.

We believe that this is a beautiful universe


We are the decent people of the world. We are in the majority, for men and women are essentially decent. We live in all nations, we live under all the flags that fly.



Decency is not determined by our economic status, our religion, the language we speak, the color of our skin, or the ideology under which we live. Human decency is a universal quality.



We, the decent people of the world, often have our voices drowned out by the shouts of leaders who misrepresent the things for which we stand.



We the decent people carry enough weight to tip the scale for decency if we will make ourselves heard...



We believe that war is the great indecency, that it kills and destroys all the higher sensibilities of man and leaves only death, suffering, and destruction in its wake.



We believe that this is a beautiful universe and that it is made for love and not for hate; for peace and not war; for freedom and not slavery; for order and not riot; for compassion and not violence; for happiness and not misery.



We believe that there is only one war to be waged in the name of human decency, and that is the war against all the common enemies of man... hunger, disease, poverty, ignorance, crime and failure.



We believe that every child should have the chance to grow up in an atmosphere of faith, not of fear.



We believe that the ultimate decency is to help men and never harm men, to lift men and not degrade men, and to respect the dignity of all men as individual human beings.



We the decent people of the world stand for the kind of life that will be good for all of the people, all of the time, everywhere."

If you've cheated the man in the glass.

When you get what you want in your struggle for self

And the world makes you king for a day,

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself

And see what that man has to say.



For it isn't your father or mother or wife,

Whose judgment upon you must pass.

The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,

Is the one staring back from the glass.



You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum

And think you're a wonderful guy.

But the person in the glass says you’re only a bum

If you can't look him straight in the eye



He's the fellow to please-never mind all the rest,

For he's with you clear to the end.

And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test,

If the man in the glass is your friend.



You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years

And get pats on the back as you pass

But your final reward will be heartache and tears

If you've cheated the man in the glass.

If only we know

If only we know
The flare burns between our hearts
How much it burns us from within
How much it hurts us in tremendous ways
How much it warms us together

If only we know
The zephyr that sweeps our hearts
How much the healing it brought to us
How much the calmness emits from inside
How much hormany synchronised in our rhythm

If only we know
The secrets that we kept deep in the core of our hearts
How much it kills us, putting our soul screaming in agony
But then
It is only a part of our story
That drives us away in distance but never be far in heart
How much it burns, sweeps and kills me away from my life
My love to you will never be drifted away
As my love to you is remain for eternity
If only you know….

I love you
