Kind Words.

[Guest guest]

All:

 

I hope I have the permission to post this...

 

First of all a person's humbleness is a reflection of his true

nature. Humility has great power. A lion becomes a small cat in the

presence of Humility. Before him, a mountain becomes nothing but a

stone. A person who is truly humble conquers all.

 

I have been reading all these exchanges of postings on this group

for a very long time. This posting is not directed at anyone. So

please do not take it personally. But, please, I beg all of you to

focus on the core inner essence. Please let us not get carried away

by "praise and blame for each other". It means nothing in the real

sense.

 

There is no Me, MY, I, You. We are all part of that One.

 

Let others fight, but we keep remembering God. When the elephant

sways in its own ecstasy, the dogs begin to bark at him, but the

elephant leaves the dogs alone. In the same way we should keep

remembering the Lord continually, and if others want to fight, let

them. All sorts of words are written on a blank pieces of paper. Let

those who are interested in such things read them -- we should just

keep remembering the Lord.

 

Kind words and acts of true compassion to each other matter a lot.

 

Here is a question that most of us ask. The answer is bogglingly

simple.

 

Doesn't the law of karma imply that we can be indifferent to our

fellow beings because, after all, they're only getting what they

deserve?

 

Absolutely not. If a person's karma is such that he or she is

suffering, we have an opportunity to alleviate that suffering in

whatever way we can: doing so would be good karma. We need not be

unduly heroic, but we can always offer a helping hand or at least

KIND words to each other. If we choose not to do whatever is in our

limited power to alleviate the pain of those around us, we're

chalking up bad karma for ourselves. In fact, we're really hurting

ourselves.

 

Oneness is the law of the universe, and that truth is the real root

of all acts of love and compassion. The Atman, my true Self, is the

same Spirit that dwells in all; there cannot be two Atmans.

Consciousness cannot be divided; it's all-pervasive. My Atman and

your Atman cannot be different.

 

As water when directed into a narrow canal gains force, so the

grooves in the mind create canals of behavior patterns which become

extraordinarily difficult to resist or reverse. Changing an

ingrained mental habit literally becomes an uphill battle. If our

thoughts are predominantly those of kindness, love, and compassion,

our character reflects it, and these very thoughts will be returned

to us sooner or later. If we send out thoughts of hatred, anger, or

pettiness, those thoughts will also be returned to us

 

For that reason Vedanta says: Love your neighbor as yourself because

your neighbor IS yourSelf.

 

There is no greater worship than the worship of the Self. There is

no greater deity than the Self. To lose oneSelf in the Self is the

true Japa, the true repetition of the mantra.

 

For the mind to observe silence is the greatest worship.

 

Please let us all join hands and live in peace.

 

I wish everyone all the best with all my heart.

 

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.

 

Om Tat Sat.
