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."

Heal

     Helping endure and live/learn is to heal. Reminded today in a homely, to let go/forgive, and make way for the light to enter in this season of Lent-learning endurance, neglecting temptation.  The ash, the symbolic representation of lent, tells/reminds us to  burn off vengeance/ignorance and saw the seed of faith-'for an intrinsic truth hunt'/hope-'holding on positive emotions'. Where its supreme spiritual guide/past dedicated followers, once walked their talk, with a commitment / dedication, to inspire billions today, to become saints/seekers, to exemplify the virtues of courage/services, as an opportunity, to evolve out into. Thus, to be healed/to heal, is a divine gift..to understand/undertake. It seeks, the humility from once accumulated ego/pride, for this gift of liberatiOn/ redemptiOn.

    The supreme guide/divine, in flesh, when questioned, after a moment of deep introspection/fasting, highlighted the three basic factors governing/leading our mind/intellect.... into taking stands and positions within our day to day lives.  Needs-food, for sustenance and survival / Recognition-acceptance, to be recognized and be popular / Authority-power, to have control over. He manifested them with examples, to manage the evolving circumstances.... prudently/diligently, within our format of flesh/blood.

    We are, very often a reflection of what, we think/speak of, others. 'Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong, is seeking it outside.. when it is inside.' Some passed over healing guideLines....

1. "Most of our life is spent chasing false goals and worshipping false ideals. The day you realize that is the day you really start to live.

2. You really, truly cannot please all of the people all of the time. Please yourself first and your loved ones second, everyone else is busy pleasing themselves anyway, trust me.

3. Fighting the aging process is like trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has been. Don’t waste time trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to see the beauty in the new.

4. Nobody is perfect and nobody is truly happy with their lot. When that sinks in you are free of comparison and free of judgement. It’s truly liberating.

5. No one really sees what you do right, everyone sees what you do wrong. When that becomes clear to you, you will start doing things for the right reason and you will start having so much more fun.

6. You will regret the years you spent berating your looks, the sooner you can make peace with the vessel your soul lives in, the better. Your body is amazing and important but it does not define you.

7. Your health is obviously important but stress, fear and worry are far more damaging than any delicious food or drink you may deny yourself. Happiness and peace are the best medicine.

8. Who will remember you and for what, become important factors as you age. Your love and your wisdom will live on far longer than any material thing you can pass down. Tell your stories, they can travel farther than you can imagine.

9. We are not here for long but if you are living against the wind it can feel like a life-sentence. Life should not feel like a chore, it should feel like an adventure.

10. Always, always, drink the good champagne and use the things you keep for ‘best’. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is a gift that’s why we call it the present. Eat, Drink & Be Merry."

"If it’s your soul which is exhausted.

Food won’t satisfy a hunger for acceptance, love or adventure.

An empty void can’t be filled, with material possessions or holidays.

A bountiful bank account won’t buy health or happiness.

If you aren’t watering the seeds of your joy, your life will never flower, and no amount of expensive decoration will make it blossom.

Sleep won’t help if it’s your soul which is exhausted my friend...

but the good news is, the remedies you need are free and plentiful, and they are all around you,

hiding in plain sight, amongst the ordinary everyday moments that bring your soul joy.

Seize them. "

An old man meets a young man who asks:

“Do you remember me?”

And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:

“What do you do, what do you do in life?”

The young man answers:

“Well, I became a teacher.”

“ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.

“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”

The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:

“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.

I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.

Shortly after, my friend noticed the his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.

Then you addressed the class saying, ‘This student's watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.’

I didn't give it back because I didn't want to.

You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle.

You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.

However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.

We did as instructed.

You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone's pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’

You didn't tell on me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.

But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.

I received your message clearly.

Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.

Do you remember this episode, professor?

The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket. I didn't remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.’

This is the essence of teaching:

If to correct you must humiliate; you don't know how to teach.”

neXt

     What is next? Many come up with two words, Faith/Hope. Is it not then meant to outline....'For an intrinsic truth hunt'/'Holding on positive emotions' for an individual to go on to accept the different vibrant  seasons/moments, as reasonably/gracefully as it unfolds, within our limited understanding/undertaking. Faith, along with its twin hope, is all about exploring/undertaking purpose, within the limited time factor, for the ultimate liberatiOn/redemptiOn from ignorance, into salvation, for many seekers/followers. The twins are encapsulated within a shell word called Trust, which is.. 'That reliable understanding, soliciting truth'.

  Faith/Hope/Trust eventually bless a seeker/aspirant, with a passionate desire, the spirit of underStanding/Responsibility.... to enlighten/open their paths/gates, with another magical word called miracle. What is Next? Is it not a 'Never ending xylo tunnel'....with work as the key word involved, within, as an offering of voluntary/involuntary activities and services to self/others, which many offer as worship/eternal engagement. Would Work then be ..'Worship of received knowledge'.  Many approach work  with humility/aggressive passion, to accomplish/sustain that dream/desire. Within that journey, should the means employed justify the end or the end justify the means? Reminded ...."Ask to receive.Seek to find. Knock to open." How any organized community ventures to underStand/underTake, the basic trinity of needs/entertainment/authority, defines their collective evolving culture/character at large/within its totality.

Some time tested insights....

**"Silence and smile are two powerful tools. Smile is the way to solve many problems and silence is the way to avoid many problems."

**"A woman was once asked:

What do you "gain" from praying to God regularly?

She replied:

Usually "I don't earn anything", but rather "I lose certain things".

And she quoted everything she lost praying to God regularly:

I lost my pride

I lost my arrogance

I lost my anger

I lost stress

I lost greed

I lost the pleasure of lying

I lost the taste of sin

I lost the impatience

I lost despair and discouragement

Sometimes we pray, not to gain something, but to lose things that don't allow us to grow personally and spiritually.

Prayer educates, strengthens, and heals...."

**"What goes around comes around

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.”

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard….

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”

There is an old saying “What goes around comes around.”

Die

     Do i endure? / Did i endure?...by, the end of the day/life span, is the intrinsic depth of the word.. 'Die'. Built around values/ethics, by the collective collaborating individuals/groups, when introspected intrinsically/holistically. Many enter/exit this journey aimlessly/purposefully....with a guide/idol to lead/deliver them, within this encapsulated shell called experiences/ecstasy....having its emotional swinging waves of accomplishment/joy/disappointments/emptiness....built around the beads of faith/hope/trust/understanding/responsibilities to survive/sustain within this journey, hopefully/meaningfully, with the crown of humility we call/know it as life. Understanding/Undertaking the four seasons/emotions 'daily' as it unfolds: spring-joy/summer-warmth/autumn-fall/winter-bitterness with gratitude/reverence.... by consciously, realizing the two powers governing them, soft:humility/hard:aggression, being ventured unConditionally/nonJudgementally for liberation/deliverance by many.

    Reminded of few deep sentences, from the inception of the bright spark called live, into the valley of  darkness known as death ...."Great minds discuss ideas;Average minds discuss events;Small minds discuss people." / "When the mind is weak, the situation is a problem. When the mind is balanced, the situation is a challenge. When the mind is strong, the situation becomes an opportunity." Where the basic guidelines for all, within this journey with choices  is.... "I hear, to forget; I see, to remember; I do, to understand." / "Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place".

ReflectiOn....

   "Once in a village, a woman saw three old men sitting outside her house. They were sitting there for quite a while.The woman went outside and said,

'I don't know you, but I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.'

One of them asked,

'Is the man of the house at home ?'

She replied, 'No.'

'Then we cannot come in.', said the men.

The woman went inside. In the evening when her husband came, she told him about the people sitting outside and all that had happened.

He told his wife to go and ask those men to come in and have some food.

She went out and told them,

'My husband is home. He is inviting you all. Please come inside and have some food with us .'

They replied,

'We do not go inside a house together.'

When she asked why, one of the old men explained,

pointing to one of his friends, he said :

'His name is Wealth.

If he goes with you, your home will be filled with wealth always.'

Then pointing to another old man he said :

'He is Success.

If he goes with you, you will always be successful in any endeavor you start.'

He then introduced himself as Love.

'If I go with you, then your home will be filled with love always.'

Then he told her to go in and discuss with her husband which one of them they want in their home.

Her husband was overjoyed hearing about it and said,

'Let’s invite Wealth.

Let him come and fill our home with wealth.'

His wife disagreed and said, 'Why don’t we invite Success?'

Their daughter-in-law was listening to this.

She came to them and suggested,

'Wouldn’t it be better if we invite Love in our home ?

Then our home will be filled with love forever.'

The husband and wife agreed.

The woman again went out and said,

'Which one of you is Love ? Please come in and be our guest.'

Love got up and started walking toward the house. Just then the other two also got up and started following him.

The woman asked,

'You said you can not all can come together.

I invited only Love.

Why are you all coming in?'

The old men replied,

'If you had invited Wealth or Success then the other two would have stayed outside, but since you invite Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.'

Wherever there is Love, Wealth and Success will follow."

GuideLines....

1. "Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;

2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.

3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.

4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;

5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;

6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;

7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;

8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;

9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you're;

10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.

11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;

12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;

13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;

14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness;

15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;

16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;

17. Never give advice until you’re asked;

18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;

19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;

20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. More so, eye contact is as important as your speech; and

21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

22.After reading a good message try to say....Thanks for the messagE".
