Become a Non-Believer

The goal is to become a non-believer,
to abandon belief —
and dogma and hearsay –
in favor of direct knowing. Ivan M. Granger

LALLA

Lalla (1320-90) was born in a Kashmiri village near Srinagar in Northern India. She was married at an ealy age but was illtreated by her husband and in laws. Lalla left her husband's home to become a wandering ascetic. She composed hundreds of songs and sang them to other devotees and all who came to hear. An excerpt from one of her poems.

To memorize the scriptures is easy,
to live them is hard.
Faking sincerity is a learned skill
being sincere is a life long endeavor.

Look deep
words vanish
Joyous, silent,
The Awaken One finds the dreamer.........

I search for my Self
until I grow weary,
but no one, I know now,
reaches the hidden knowledge
by mere effort.

Give up that imaginary thought
that you cannot rise above desire
or fix your mind on the Self.
He is right next to you!
Do not look for Him far away.
My void merged in the pure Void!

EGO

"The goal of the ego is not perfection.

It's ultimate goal is to fade away

in order to reveal the inherent perfection already present."

A Thought To Ponder

When you speak or hear anything negative, it pollutes your mind.

When you do anything negative, it pollutes your body.

When you deny anything positive, it weakens your spirit... your soul..... (Yogi Bhajan)

A weekend Thought

"Deep in the sea there are riches beyond your imagination,

If you want happiness for a month -- get married.

If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune

If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.

Thought For The Week End

"When you extend pure love to everyone with selfless motivation that is an attitude of kindness.

When you see the virtues rather than the weaknesses in people that is an attitude of compassion.

When you bless and uplift someone even as they defame you, that is an attitude of forgiveness.

When you tolerate a situation and take responsibility as well as give cooperation even when not appreciated, that is an attitude of humility and self-respect.

Every second, every moment and every breath of your life is nurtured by attitude..."

Compassion

"Compassion is a divine attribute. It’s the only feeling, which is able to melt the heart away. When a heart melts out of abundance of love, compassion flows out, like the overflowing of water being stored behind a dam during the times of flood, compassion also knows no boundaries. These are the strong surges of emotions, which arise in our heart...

God has only been giving out, all the time, never expecting anything in return. He is an infinite reservoir of benevolence and compassion."
