Light

     The word warmth/light, is a bi-product of supreme sacrifices/chemical reactions, within its totality. Light, would it imply to be, 'Living in grace/gratitude, highlighting truth'. Then, what should Grace be, to complement light? Is it 'Gratifyingly radiating and courageously enforcing'. Reminded at a platform, to be the light/salt, where the supreme teacher, mentioned to look at him, who came within flesh, to learn from/ be transformed into.....to evolve out from the olden ways, into the new way.... to be liberated. 

    The past:olden/ Present:evolving/ Future:newer version, is always a collective given choice....with a mantra to Learn/unLearn/reLearn....unConditionally/nonJudgementally. Reflect on, Mercy/Forgiveness/Miracle/Simple transformations, to blossom out gracefully.

    Reminded..."The mind is a universe and can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. I know this because I have experienced it. The mind is capable of great things, of creating worlds, of imagining the unimaginable. And yet, it is also capable of great darkness, of creating nightmares, of imagining horrors beyond comprehension.It is up to us to choose what we focus on, what we allow our minds to create. We have the power to shape our own reality, for better or for worse."

"A teacher was asked by his pupil..What is more important the destination/journey? The teacher replied the company. Followed by another question. Then, what is spiritual maturity?

It's when we stop trying to change others and focus on changing ourselves.

It is when we accept people as they are.

It is when we understand that everyone is correct according to their own perspective.

It is when we learn to let go.

It is when we are able to not have expectations in a relationship, and we give of ourselves for the pleasure of giving.

It is when we understand that what we do, we do for our own peace.

It's when we stop showing the world how smart we are.

It's when we stop seeking approval from others.

It's when we stop comparing ourselves to others.

It is when we are at peace with ourselves.

It is when we are able to distinguish between need and want and we are able to let go of that want."

12. Spiritual maturity is gained when we stop attaching "happiness" to material things!

withIn

     'Look within'....what does it imply, when our revered avatars/gurus/philosophers/teachers, very often prompts/reminds us to reflect upon/introspect at? As a science/biology enthusiast, encouraging a creator's manifestation within everything/everyone.  When looking at/within anything, am amazed/marvel on, the energy manifestation, of the dynamic homeostatic/symbiotic relationship, of diverse systems/cells, living at ease / in harmony, within any living organism/things be at atomic/elemental status . We encounter,  destructiOn/canceroUs invasions, originating initially at a localized region/zone, to eventually manifest out as malignant. Some detected early/late....do we probe/resolve at the 'caUse/sympToms' level? What is the purpose of any emotions,  happy-encouragements/sad- disappointments....when/if the relevance of one is irrelevant without the other. Would life be meaningless/boring then? Many walk/sail through these wave of emotions gracefully/naturally, many get drowned/burned within this saga of existence. Which field thrives, without constant effort/maintenance?

    When many, spiritually driven avatars / scientifically motivated  messengers, are ignored/destroyed at,  their roots. Found some, evolving ignorantly perceived/acknowledged  messages, floating within media platforms. Eventually, to reflect upon and introspect, do we promote evil, which is 'envious vales, in lives ' or hope, which is 'holding on positive emotions'. The bi-products of challenges are opportunities....some drown/many thrive, within its constant factor, called time. Within, tells us / open's up, to an inSight/lessOn, that there is no cells within its organs/systems, which does not give way to the other. Every cells within, has a defined/ purpose driven , calibrated life span. The body/consciousness, as a whole, only has a choice to redefine/reformat it to its vision/mission at any given circumstance/point in its lifetime. Many take hundreds/thousands of rebirths/lessons, to reach the enlightenment status per many insightful theological understandings/undertakings. Where clarity of purpose/roles is required to begin with....what is expected from whom? What from a spiritual teacher/politician/defense personal/farmer so forth and so on. Where withIn tells/shows to  us clearly/with clarity/precision, the role of blood /muscular/brain /kidney cells with its energy consumption requirements/life span, if to be probed/researched.

Lent:Episode 1 (Jesus on food/recognition/authority ….Mat: 4:1-11) Nurses / Assistant aids, are paid the least/most in Catholic /Christian hospitals. Teachers/Assistants paid the least /most in Catholic/Christian unaided schools/institutions globally? Very very true, an eye opener for their future to retain/sustain meaningfully. Within this season of lent meaning 'learning endurance, not temptation' ….let it begin first at home, before casting a stone at someone else. 'To whom much is given, much more is expected back'....that is clarity in transparency/accountability, when probed/pressed to be justified logically. 'After all , who can serve two masters'.

Lent:Episode 2 (Jesus on food/recognition/authority.... Mat 4:1-11) Current affairs reflectiOn….’She looks well fed by her parents/institution….sustained efficiently today, either from a collage /school/hospital/nursing home …..they don’t need, any more gifted charities / money, from any beggars…she innocently mentioned / highlighted the current truth/reality.

Why can’t the righteoUs seekers, set an example, and install cameras around/inside their habitat. If some one has nothing to hide, why should any one be scared? The spiritual guide, to have mentioned to behave like the 'Dove' - managing sensual desires /'Snake'-be prepared and vigilant every moment. Meaning, to value and treasure monogamous relationships / Vigilantly produce evidences, when asked. To whom, much is given, much more will be asked/accounted from, has already  been foretold. 

Prayer

     Prayer is Pleading reflectively and yearning enduring radiance.. is a prayer, fulfilled life . It instills within the seeker, a discipline of patience/piety/humility/hope. The results/bi-product from prayers is often described as a miracle / an answer. Prayer opens up the communication channel for an introspective clarity/quest. The closest analogue, to its outcome/answer, can be compared to the three colors of the traffic light, Green-go and let go, its meant to be thus. /Yellow-pause and wait a bit more. /Red-stop, not to pursue. Within the choices, one should have reverence to the fact that, the relevance of positive/negative spirit, is symmetrical. Reminded "When the 'mind' is weak, situation is a problem; When balanced, it's a challenge; when strong, the situation becomes an opportunity." Where the mind is.... My impulsive, needy desire.

   Prayer is to be unconditionally/nonjudgmentally ventured, to relinquish its full potential. 'Prayer is power' for many of its disciples....giving answers to their needs / recognization quest / authority drives. To aid/facilitate the prober with the shield of service to self/others, within a symbiotic relationship. Prayer is very often linked to a word, called purpose. A powerful / impactful word, worth contemplating seriously, is the past ancestral/ parental / self accumulated word called 'Karma'/Deeds.... to be engraved unconsciously/consciously into our memory/consciousness....where prayer/words, have the power to penetrate/ recognize/ heal. Many call this healing grace / touching as the placebo effect / coincidence. The beginning of everything was from nothing, but from a word, to become words/sentences/chapters to unfold and be expressed/revealed as sensual experiences over ages. Spiritually highlighted/underlined as the word, which was initially with the divine, revealed later in flesh as an individual/avatar, left us with the invisible holy spirit/lessons, to be explored/ventured to realize its nature. 

    Before any prayers, its worth remembering/reflecting on the time revealed lessons....because we survive/sustain within a supremely self sacrificing platform/universe, where those who don't have anything.. fight over pennies/inches of land. Those who struggled in their life, and to have accomplished/possessed something, eventually get lost into the purpose of everything / get confused into the meaning of life. Take time to explore/communicate/collaborate with each other, else will be another case study/lesson for someone, to discuss. Many a times, we end up ignorantly, reinventing the wheels. Adding within, some time revealed/tested words of wisdom....which reminds us  "Ask-to get / Seek--to find / Knock---to open"

" To improve your mood, exercise daily/laugh often; To think more clearly; meditate humbly/ Pray meaningfully; To understand the world/ Read, listen, explore; To understand yourself/ Write; to become open minded. To help people, help yourself first / seek understanding, with responsibilities; To learn fast, have fun / derive purpose."
