The Reality of the Heart

Just as the Sun is our source of external light and warmth, the Heart is our source of internal light and warmth: Awareness and Love.

The light of awareness radiates out from the center of our heart, energizing every cell of our body and illuminating our mind as it does so.

When we center our awareness back at its very source, we experience peace, clarity and the inner warmth that we call Love.

Pure Awareness

Remember that the other person is you. - Yogi Bhajan

The greatest treasure is a contented heart. - John O'Donohue

'Come to the edge,' he said.
They said, 'We are afraid.'
'Come to the edge,' he said.
They came. He pushed them,  and they flew...                                  - Guillaume Apollinaire

The gift is the realization that you are a part of God, that you are Awareness in form.

There is only one truth alive in the human heart.
This truth is love. Follow this love and it will set you free.

Love is a river

Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand

your love so that it touches not only those to whom

you can give it easily,

but also those who need it so much.

 

- Daphine Kingma

 

Love is a river.   Drink from it...

Can Meditation Transform the World?

Be the Love you would like to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi famously said, " Be the change you want to see in the world." In other words, change has to start within ourselves; we cannot expect the world to change if we do not.

Meditation is the basis for ALL inner work. Meditation gives us the space to see ourselves clearly and objectively, a place from which we can witness our own behavior and reduce the ego's influence.

We invite you to learn how to re-evaluate your life by understanding your mind, experiencing your inner spiritual powers and drawing peace and strength from a higher source. You can also learn how to use the mind more effectively with clear and practical guidance in the technique of meditation.

We'll share more about it on Saturday, 26th July 2010 in Cluj Napoca, Romania :)
Adress:  Eremia Grigorescu street, no. 126,  5th floor, ap. 41.

You are hearthly welcome at 4.00 pm hours.

The greatest gift for humanity: Meditation

Meditation is establishing Stillness in us at all levels of body, mind and intellect.

In Stillness our Awareness rises, expands and we experience Peace and gain Wisdom.

Meditation releases us from all the bondages and limitations.

Thousands of years ago the Rishis, the Light Masters, gave us Meditation for solving all the problems of the body, mind and intellect, and also of the soul.

The soul is bound here and with Meditation, it will find its freedom.

Meditation is the greatest gift to humanity. It links us to the Creator.

Benefits

There are many benefits. Only some are mentioned here and the rest are experienced by the Meditator as he advances.

Peace is experienced at all levels.

We deal with any situation with calm and maturity which avoids all conflicts and unhappiness.

Inner strength and wisdom of a very high order comes to us naturally.

Increase in memory and concentration.

Sharpening of our Intuition increase the quality of our living.

The Karmas are cleared and our problems gradually vanish.
Apart from the benefits for living this life, we attain the final Liberation

Film Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

I am happy to share with you a very deep movie which I saw last evening.
It brought me much in the Space of Present, in the Now.

It is a wonderful story of the man looking for the enlightment.

The name Siddhartha means "he who has found meaning

of existance" or "he who has atteined his goals".

The movie it's a great philosophical work of art, which has as a subject the book writen by Herman Hesse.

Some of the major themes from the film:

- meaning of life, man's condition on earth

- how to cure one's self from the pains of life by immersing in the essence, in God which is everywhere

- spiritual experience can be earned through discipline and selfless life

- the attachments are not leting ourselves to be free

- he had three qualities: to think, to wait, to fast!

- his wife teaches him love, his son, empathy

At the end Siddhartha is capturing the essence of the journey in this life, and learning from the river he realises that there is Only Now, this Present which you can live it with Love.

Giving Love, sharing Love and being Love.

Much love and gratitude for you being here!

Filled up with love

I decided to be full of love and to give my love to everyone.

The more I love everyone else, the better I feel.

 And the better I feel, the more I love the world.

Love cured my fear.

Dr. Karl Menninger said this about love:

"We do not fall in love, we grow in love and love grows in us."

 Let enough grow in you to fill you up and you'll be satisfied forever.

What is it to be Compassionate?

Please find out for yourself, feel it out, whether a mind that is hurt, that can be hurt, can ever forgive. Can a mind that is capable of being hurt ever forgive? And can such a mind, which is capable of being hurt, which is cultivating virtue, which is conscious of generosity, can such a mind be compassionate? Compassion, as Love, is something which is not of the mind. The mind is not conscious of itself as being compassionate, as loving. But the moment you forgive consciously, the mind is strengthening its own center in its own hurt. So the mind which consciously forgives can never forgive; it does not know forgiveness; it forgives in order not to be further hurt.


So it is very important to find out why the mind actually remembers, stores away. Because the mind is everlastingly seeking to aggrandize itself, to become big, to be something. When the mind is willing not to be anything, to be nothing, completely nothing, then in that state there is compassion. In that state there is neither forgiveness nor the state of hurt; but to understand that, one has to understand the conscious development of the "me..."

So, as long as there is the conscious cultivation of any particular influence, any particular virtue, there can be no love, there can be no compassion, because Love and Compassion are not the result of conscious effort.

 Krishnamurti

If Love is Really Love

Never misunderstand love for something else. If love is really love...

What do I mean when I say 'really love'? I mean that JUST BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE OTHER YOU FEEL SUDDENLY HAPPY. Just being together you feel ecstatic. Just the very presence of the other fulfills something deep in your heart. Something starts singing in your heart -- you fall into harmony. Just the very presence of the other helps you to be together: you become more individual, more centered, more grounded. Then it is love.

Love is not a passion, love is not an emotion. LOVE IS A VERY DEEP UNDERSTANDING THAT SOMEBODY SOMEHOW COMPLETES YOU. Somebody makes you a full circle. The presence of the other enhances your presence.

Love gives freedom to be yourself -- it is not possessiveness.

So, watch. Never think of sex as love -- otherwise you will be deceived. Be alert. And when you start feeling with someone that just the presence, the pure presence -- nothing else, nothing else is needed. You don't ask anything -- JUST THE PRESENCE, JUST THAT THE OTHER IS, IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU HAPPY... something starts flowering within you, thousand and one lotuses bloom. THEN YOU ARE IN LOVE, and then you can pass through all the difficulties that reality creates.

MANY ANGUISHES, MANY ANXIETIES -- YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH ALL OF THEM. And your love will be flowering more and more -- because all those situations will become challenges. And your love, by overcoming them, will become more and more strong.

LOVE IS ETERNITY. If it is there, then it goes on growing and growing. Love knows the beginning but does not know the end.

Inner Child

"Every child is an artist. But how can we remain
an artist, once we grow up?" Pablo Picasso

Your Inner Child never leaves you.
The secret is to keep our Inner Child in balance,
by nurturing ourselves, despite the fact that during the day we may be subjected to a number
of negative emotions.

You need to feel always good and to be able to love yourself if you want to truly love another.
To be a child is to be pure, innocent and believing that anyting is possible, just like in a dream.

Happy Children's Day, every day!

Thanks for sharing, sis Betty!

Movie: "Lake House" Love beyond limits

Yes, Love has conquered time and space .

Last evening I saw a very original movie "Lake House"
with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves.

The story stresses that the Reality is the one
we create in our mind and their coordonates may be expresed beyond the time and space.

The subject is revealed to us in a misterious way, because they share their chemistry of love in parralel times.

As the characters get to know each other through correspondence, the film seduces you into suspended belief.

Even she lives in the future and him in the past, they make possible to make their love to become possible in Present.

Thank You, sis Roji for sharing this movie-gift!

Forever

I was breathing restlessly 

thinking on the way ahead in life....

Suddenly I heard a voice from within saying 

Distance doesn't matter when you have a Guide of Calibre...

I was crying helplessly

with the pains of life and seeing the dear ones in pain....

The inner voice remainded me gently

Pain is an essential part of our evolution....

I was feeling sad very deeply...

on the time I have wasted and the less time I have ahead...

My heart said to me softly, 

to reach you goal in this lifetime, Do it Here and now!....

 

I was happy boundlessly,

when I feel the presence of my beloved guiding from within

My beloved whispered quietly,

We are covered by His Love and protection....

 

May so it be forever...!

Awesome Movie Recomandation

Dear Ones,

Yesterday I saw a very light Movie
"3 Idiots", and I enjoyed very much!

It is a great combination of humour, love, emotions, friendship and knowledge - all in one.

Story of the indian film is really unique, it is a lighthearted and entertaining journey of three friends as they try to figure themselves out and share unforgettable experiences.


Three hours of laughing, crying, amazing scenes, views and very touching music too.

"All is well" is a mantra used in any situation, pointing to the heart...

This movie cannot be missed, it's a must see!

Thank you, Vivek for sharing this movie-gift!

Know God. Know Love. No God. No Love

"He who is filled with love is filled with God himself"

St.Augustin

Divine love

The deepness of love is bigger than any ocean.

There is no barrier in front of the real love.

The Pathway of Divine Love

Go to the Wholeness

Go to the Acknowledgemenet

Go to the Alowing

Go to the Loving

Bird from within

Now tell me of this bird that sings within me 

It is neither coloured nor colourless: it has neighter form nor outline

It sits in the shadow of love.

It dwells within the Unattainaible, the Infinite and the Eternal; and no one marks

When it comes and goes.

More than all else do I cherish at heart that love
which makes me to live a limitless life in this world.

- Kabir

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

(The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis)
