Life - Viața

Half of life is lost in charming others.The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others.Leave this play, you have played enough! ~ Rumi Jumătate din viață ne-o pierdem încercând să-i fermecăm pe ceilalți. Cealaltă jumătate se pierde trecând prin temerile provocate de ceilalți. Părăsește acest joc, l-ai jucat destul. - Rum...

The ego and the soul - Egoul și sufletul

The motto of the ego is: ”Possess everything that you see, possess everybody that you know.”. The motto of the soul is: ” Let go of everything that you have and everything that you are.” The ego is telling us that by possessing those around us, by possessing this world, by possessing the whole universe we will be happy.  The soul is telling us that by giving up everything we will discover not only what we really are: happiness but also that...

Life on earth - Viața pe pământ

Life on earth is a difficult task indeed, and I am sure that each one of those reading these lines will agree with me. Even the greatest spiritual figures of humanity had many difficult times on their human journey. Still, we should not forget that in overcoming difficulties we can find our happiness, and we can transform ourselves.

No fear - Fără frică

Fear is our biggest enemy not only in the spiritual life but also in the ordinary life. Fear paralyses us, blocking all our inner and outer capacities. When we are afraid of something our capacities are diminished so much that we will never be able to face and defeat that problem although it is within our capacity  to do that. Fear comes from lack of confidence, and lack of confidence comes from lack of faith and surrender to the Supreme Being...

Smile - Zâmbetul

Smile is the secret sign of divinity. Whenever we see a soulful smile, we can be sure that divinity is there smiling to us. And every time we can bring our soulful smile to the fore we offer our own divinity to the world. That is why smiling is being spiritual. But we need to smile from the bottom of our heart and soul if possible, and then our divine qualities will be offered to those around us. So let us enjoy and love the divine smiles that...

Suffering and happiness - Suferința și fericirea

We must not be afraid of suffering. Suffering and happiness are the two faces of the same energy. Life uses both as tools to transform us, for our progress.

Life it takes us from suffering to happiness to extend our limits, our inner vessel, so that eventually we will be able to receive more and more of God's love....

We must love - Trebuie să iubim

We must love, everything and everybody that bring love to the fore in us. We have to do that not only because is the proper way of living but also because all that love will come back to us in a form or another. It may not come from the same thing or person that we have offered our love, but it will definitely come back. Love attracts love, like gratitude attracts grace. Eventually love will become a way of being and not something that we give...

The inner light - Lumina interioară

"People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only  if there is light from within." „Oamenii sunt ca niște ferestre colorate. Ei stralucesc și radiaza atunci când apare soarele, Dar atunci când se lasă întunericul, Adevărata lor frumusețe este revelată doar Dacă există lumină interioară...

The ultimate power - Puterea ultimă

Love is the ultimate power, all the other spiritual or occult powers fade away in front of the divine, unconditional love. There is a song saying ”Too much love will kill you” , and that is true. We all have a limited capacity to receive love from God. But that does not mean that we cannot expand our capacity every day till the moment we realize that inside us the infinite love of the Supreme abides.  Living without love is to pretend to live,...

The drop and the ocean - Picatura și oceanul

If we do not kneel and pray, life will bring us into our knees. And why is that? That is because is into humbleness that we can become one with our Source. Only when we can forget about our little personalities, our little ego, we can have real oneness with what we really are, with the One that is everything. Is only through humility that the drop can become the ocean again. It is in the drop's destiny to go back into the ocean, and is into our...

You and a saint - Tu și un sfânt

What is the difference between your experience of existence and that of a saint? The saint knows that the spiritual path is a sublime chess game with God and that the Beloved has just made such a fantastic move that the saint is now continually tripping over joy and bursting out in laughter and saying, "I surrender!"

Let us be one again! - Haideți să fim unul din nou!

There are two ways we can approach life, two ways we can live our live. First way is to live in the world of duality, which is to live in ignorance.

Poison and the antidote - Otrava si antidotul

We give what we have. We have what we cultivate. If someone is giving you poison-anger and poison-frustration, that means that these things he possesses.

So love and compassion are the answer for the anger and frustration. Those people with these negative forces inside their system...

Why meditation is difficult - De ce meditatia este dificila

Why is it that at times we are not able to meditate? It is because our mind has thoughts instead of being silent. Why do we have thoughts? Because we are concerned about us, or about things or people, we believe that they need us or that we need them. The world will be able to survive very well without any of us, although each one of us has some special fragrance to offer to the world. Still, nobody is indispensable. We should be aware of that,...

There are two ways - Exista doua cai

There are two ways; one is looking into the source of `I' and merging into that source. The other is feeling "I am helpless by myself, God alone is all-powerful and except throwing myself completely on him, there is no other means of safety for me," and thus gradually developing the conviction that God alone exists and the ego does not count. Both methods lead to the same goal. Complete surrender is another name for jnana or liberation. ~ Sri...

To fall is not to be defeated - A te împiedica nu înseamnă să fii înfrânt
