Thoughts To Live By

Most people think SEX is the most important part of a relationship, and as long as SEX exists, LOVE is alive. SEX can never build trust, faith, confidence and LOVE between individuals, because it is only an act of the senses, while LOVE if experienced without any cravings of mortal confinements; would never raise the question of trust, faith, confidence and LOVE. LOVE just makes you feel complete. There is clear discrimination between the two.
The only way to increase the awareness is by watching the futility of TIME which offers nothing but only change after change after change. Bring your awareness to the center-point of that rotating wheel. Experience it for yourself and see how the consciousness expands slowly and the mind starts to dissolve into eternity.
One doesn't have to conquer time and try to run ahead of it. But rather slow down and move into permanence stillness and realize there is no TIME.
In each moment of Truth, there is only permanent compassion and out of that compassion comes the attitude to forgive and forget. When you learn to forgive and forget, that is when happiness arises from within.
Every moment is passing by in the permanence of eternity. Infinitude is to be found by diving into this permanence and be devoid of the changing time. God is just an idea, perception, interpretation. What is experienced is only known to the one who is experiencing. Words are limited, while the actual void is limitless. Be still, go within, be limitless and the Truth will come.
There is so much work to be done. But what kind of work is the real work - Infrastructure, economy, politics? Or is it living for gradual healthy, harmonious and spiritual growth? And is the outward manifestation a result of the growth and realization from within?
What is lost, do not grieve over it and what you don't have, do not lament. Practicing to make the best out of what you have and aiming higher with a positive faith that you shall create your destiny will materialize your dreams.
There is no point pursuing something in life only to lay "golden eggs". Look for the gold within and that is enough! Go for your passion without expecting any results, but only to complete your 'self'.
"Success" and "Failure" - Man is afraid of both. Reason? Both are two natural states of the mind and both are born out of attachment. The mental fear is due to the mirage of duality which deludes our minds.
If you have love to give, then don't think about who is going to receive it.
Money is not a reservoir but a river which keeps flowing from one end to another. It is bound to perish someday. The nature of wealth is to deplete which is not the same with knowledge and soul wisdom on the contrary. Focusing awareness on the former will drain all the Prana, while the latter will lead you only to an endless ocean of bliss!
I was offered a business opportunity today. I wasn't able to decide if this is what I wanted all my life. The person responded after listening to my dreams which I haven't realised yet, "How would you feel if you were not able to realize and fulfill your dreams?" I said, "I won't be disappointed because I am already half-way through reaching my inner completion."
Suffering is such an eminent part of our life, money just doesn't seem to be the solution. The solution lies within and the awareness needs to be awakened. Right now, we are sleeping under the blanket of the ego.
Where there is God, there is no loneliness. But where there is aloneness there is definitely a chance of finding God.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Lovely article. The occasional 'blasts of bliss' and feelings of love that I have experienced whilst mediating are infinitely more profound than any purely physical sensation. I have a semi guided meditation that I love; the woman's voice says quietly ;''in the pauses between breaths, that is where creation occurs'. Were I to need to choose between that or food, I would choose the meditation. The yearning for 'is ness' comes to each soul eventually and there is no going back.I am happy that you could relate with my article. Not many comment in similar terms when I write something on realization. Keep on keeping on, Carol. That's all one can do. :-)That is just because they are still busy with physical matters, it is not that it is not a great article. Most are at a different place, that's all.Right on!
