Nothing is as beautiful

Nothing is as beautiful in man as his heart's sincerity. Sincerity can be developed. It can be developed like a muscle. There are some people who are naturally sincere, and others who are naturally insincere. Those who are sincere from the dawn of their lives are blessed. But those who are insincere need not and must not curse themselves. They can be sincere if they want to. The moment they truly want to be sincere, God in His infinite Compassion will...

No mud, no lotus

Without mud, you cannot have a lotus flower. Without suffering, you have no ways in order to learn how to be understanding and compassionate. Happiness is the lotus flower, and the suffering is the mud. So the practice is how to make use of the suffering, make use of the mud, to create the flower, the happiness, and this is possible. Thich Nhat Hanh Fara noroi, nu poti avea o floare de lotus. Fara suferinta, nu ai cum sa inveti sa fii...

If you know how to love yourself

If you know how to love yourself divinely, you will be able to save yourself from being loved by others undivinely. Each individual can love himself just because he is a direct channel of the Divine. God wants to express Himself in each individual in a unique way. When we become consciously and fully one with God, we not only fulfill Him, but we also fulfil ourselves. When I say that I really and truly love myself because I love Truth, it...

If you want to understand yourself

If you want to understand yourself, then do not examine yourself. Just love yourself more sincerely, more soulfully and more self-givingly. I love myself. What do I love about myself? Not my body. If I love my body for the sake of my body, tomorrow I shall be frustrated because there are millions and billions of human beings on earth who are more beautiful than I am. Naturally, I will feel miserable. If I love my physical mind for...

Who told you that you are unworthy?

Who told you that you are unworthy? It is absolutely untrue! You are already in God's Vision-Boat, and He is piloting the boat cheerfully and proudly.  Let us try to know ourselves. Let us try to observe what we truly are. Very often we feel that we are insignificant creatures. We have nowhere to go, nothing to achieve and nothing to give. This is what we feel in our day to day existence. But what we truly are is totally different...

Love is mute

“Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don’t pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.” Shams Tabrizi „Cele mai multe conflicte si tensiuni se datoreaza limbajului. Nu dati atat de multa atentie cuvintelor. In tara iubirii limbajul nu-si are loc. Dragostea este muta. ” Shams Tabri...

The supreme Goal

We have to feel that we embody infinite light, infinite truth and infinite bliss and that now we have to reveal and manifest these divine qualities. The supreme Goal is within. The Goal is crying for us, but we are looking elsewhere, where it does not exist. We cry for our own existence, which is full of fear, doubt, ignorance, pride, vanity, and selfishness. But if we cried for God every day, if we meditated early in the morning for harmony,...

Man has countless desires

There is no such thing as sweetness-expectations, for inside expectation there are always desire-thorns. Man has countless desires. When his desires are not fulfilled, he curses himself; he feels that he is a failure, hopeless and helpless. He wants to prove his existence on earth with the fruits of his desires. He thinks that by fulfilling his desires he will be able to prove himself superior to others. Yet, alas, he fails, he has failed...

Love is the secret key

Love is the secret key to open God's Door. If love means to possess someone or something, then that is not real love, not pure love. If love means to give oneself, to become one with everything and everyone, then that is real love. Real love is total oneness with the object loved and with the Possessor of love. And who is the Possessor of love? God. Without love, we cannot become one with God. Love is the inner bond, the inner connection,...

Conscience

Exista un cuvant care este foarte dulce, pur si familiar noua. Acest cuvant este constiinta. Constiinta este un alt nume pentru vocea interioara.  Constiinta poate trai in doua locuri: in inima adevarului si in gura falsitatii. Atunci cand constiinta ne loveste odata, trebuie sa ne gandim ca ne arata dragostea ei neconditionata. Atunci cand ne loveste de doua ori, trebuie sa consideram ca ne arata grija ei fara de rezerve. Atunci cand...

The inner voice

Un aspirant trebuie sa inteleaga ca vocea interioara nu este un dar ci o realizare. Cu cat mai insufletit lupta pentru ea, cu atat mai curand o va avea in mod negresit. Vocea interiora este totodata ghidul neobosit al omului si prietenul lui adevarat. Daca un om merge adanc in interior, vocea interioara ii va spune ce sa faca. Daca merge mai adanc, vocea interioara ii va spune cum sa o faca. Daca merge inca si mai mai adanc, vocea interioara...

I love to converse with God

Iubesc sa conversez cu Dumnezeu. El este un interlocutor atat de fermecator, si eu sunt un ascultator atat de fermecat. Nu poate fi o alegere mai mare sau un premiu mai inalt decat acela de a asculta de vocea interioara. Daca refuzam in mod intentionat sa ascultam vocea interioara, castigurile noastre false ne vor duce catre  pierdere in mod inevitabila. Daca ascultam cu insufletire de vocea interioara, castigurile noastre autentice...

CERERI CU TÂLC… Părintele ARSENIE BOCA, «CUVINTE VII»

Zice careva că pe un om îl poţi cunoaşte mai bine după întrebările pe care le pune, decât după răspunsurile pe care le dă. Cuvântul se poate restrânge şi la un punct de vedere numai religios. Adâncimea sau superficialitatea lui Dumnezeu într-un om, o poţi cunoaşte mai bine din lucrurile pe care le cere, decât din cuvintele pe care le spune. Astfel: unii nu-I cer nimic; alţii Ii cer nimicuri; unii Ii cer „socoteală”; alţii Ii cer lui Dumnezeu...

God's favor

Daca mintea ta este indreptata catre transformarea vietii tale atunci al tau va fi caminul-lume  plin de pace. Conform anumitor oameni viata umana este doar un cuvant crud , lipsit de sens si fara speranta din cinci litere: munca. Eu vreau sa zic ca ei gresesc. Lor le place munca, ceea ce ei urasc este sensul muncii, povara muncii. Lucrare rimeaza perfect cu favoare. La toata urma a cui favorit este el? Favoritul lui Dumnezeu. Intr-adevar,...

Work soulfully

Munceste insufletit. Iata, nu vei fi capabil sa gasesti nicio diferenta intre Rai si pamant. O persoana spirituala si-a gasit munca. Munca lui este serviciul altruist. Munca lui este actiunea dedicata. Intr-adevar, el nu are nevoie de o alta binecuvantare. Actiunea lui este acceptarea divina a existentei pamantesti. Si pentru aceasta el are nevoie de un corp perfect, o minte puternica, o inima insufletita si de o viata inspirata in mod suprem...

When you know your true being

When you know your true being, you have no problems. You may please your parents or not, marry or not, make a lot of money or not; it is all the same to you. Just act according to circumstances, yet in close touch with the facts, with the reality in every situation.  ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj  Atunci cand cunosti adevarata ta fiinta, nu ai nicio problema.

We have to be wise

We have to be wise. We can use each moment for a divine purpose. We can use each moment in performing our soulful duty. Duty is painful, tedious and monotonous simply because we do it with our ego, pride and vanity. Duty is pleasant, encouraging and inspiring when we do it for God's sake. What we need is to change our attitude toward duty. If we work for the sake of God, then there is no duty. All is joy. All is beauty. Each action has to...

True happiness

True happiness lies in self-giving to the Supreme inside you - only there; no other place.  Why do we work? We work to support ourselves, to support our dear ones. We may also work to keep our bodies in perfect condition. A true aspirant looks upon work as a veritable blessing. To him, work is nothing short of dedicated service. He has discovered the truth that by offering the result of what he says, does and thinks, he will be able...

Deep within us

As a flower is blessed with fragrance and beauty, even so each human being is blessed with inner purity and divinity. Deep within us divinity is crying to come to the fore. There the divine soldiers are our simplicity, sincerity, purity, humility and feeling of oneness. These soldiers are more than ready and eager to fight with fear, doubt, anxiety and worry. Unfortunately, we are not consciously identifying ourselves with the divine soldiers....
