Hallo all of you,
My views are:
-------
On the recycle thing by - Bart?
We could make a spiritual book on brainwashing so to improve on old or
untimely teachings.
(smile...)
-------
Living is an art.
The world is in its entirety a book for anyone to read.
The small physical books are just a part of the whole abstract and divine
scheme.
So go on - read the world. Interact with the world.
Remove your ignorance.
The world is Maya. It is illusorical and at the same time a reality.
But the Truth is shown there - and it is shown everywhere.
What is Truth.
Truth is really God.
There is also always
- unselfish Love and God -
We do not need any books or emails to relate to these issues.
One can always do ones spiritual duty at any time in life.
What is ones duty ?
Some says, that: Duty is God.
And God is the TRUTH.
Life is in a certain sense an Art.
Head, Heart and Hands has to work together in spiritual harmony.
Ordinary Emails are of less importance.
There is more to life.
-------
A few more views on Truth and Service
Teach only love...
Love is the fundamental spiritual discipline...
Keep your Heart ready to absorb the Love of God...
Only love can take you to God...
God is Service and Service is God.
Search for God with the heart, not with the eye of externals. The
Super-power has to be sought in the
super-state it self, not in the lower states. Then if you have eyes that are
fit to see and the wisdom to
understand, you will find God.
The heart is the film and the mind is the lens; turn the lens towards the
world and worldy pictures fall
on the heart. Turn it towards God, and it will transmit pictures of the
Divine. Therefore always do good,
see good, remember good and be good. Do not seek to discover or discuss the
evil in others, for the
attempt will tarnish your own mind.
The difference between humans and anmials is that human can discriminate.
"Hridaya" refers to the spiritual heart, which is common to all. It is
present everywhere. It has no form.
You must try to understand the "I". That "I" is the heart. It is the Atma.
It is Brahman.
You are Atma, which is entangled in the body, a wave of...God.
Attention fixed on one's Atma -- that is the means of liberation.
God is omnipresent.
God is everywhere at any time, - past, present and future.
God is always ready - and patient.
Are we ready ?
We do not need to read anything to walk the path.
But to some of us it is quite helpful.
Each must choose his or her path within the free wisdom tradition.
Always help, never hurt.
from
M. Sufilight with peace and love...
