Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Life is the car, your heart is the key. God is the chauffeur. Surrender to Him and be rid of further bother. Travel safe and arrive happy. Life is a series of acceptances and rejections, of attachments and detachments, of joys and grieves, benefits and losses. Life is a see-saw, with man sitting on a plank, poised on the round log---the Power of Knowledge (Jnaana Shakthi); its basic nature is Wisdom. When the plank comes down to one side, it is the Power of the Will (Icchaa Shakthi)---Bhakthi Yoga, emotional adoration. When it comes down on the other side, it is Power of Action (Kriya Shakthi)---Karma Yoga, activity to adore man as the embodiment of divinity, service to man and adoration of nature by fostering love and tenderness. So long as the seesaw is based on Wisdom, one is safe. Wisdom is the awareness that God is all. He is the seed, the Universe is the tree. Instincts, impulses, emotions, passions---these are the branches and boughs and twigs. Intelligence is the flower, pure unattached consciousness is the fruit; love is the sweetness in the fruit.
