Kindness

 Time is time.  You can’t accelerate it, and you can't slow it down. 

You are in this world.  You exist, one day you weren’t, today you are, one day you will not be.  You have heard me say this many times, but I can guarantee it – you don’t understand what it means.  I can guarantee it.  Because of the distractions.  When the time comes, that you lose the capacity to be distracted, and such a time is coming, then - and only then - do you begin to understand what life is about. 

How do I know this?  Have I reached that time in my life where I am not distracted?  No.  But I also know that there is somebody kind enough to let me know this.  There is somebody kind enough that leaves a little note, “Beware.  Rock ahead.” 

You see, you have to understand what this means.  The person didn’t remove the rock.  The rock is still there.  But they left a little note.  “Be careful.  There is a possibility ahead that you could tumble.”  That you could hurt yourself.  Be careful.  There is a ditch ahead. 

They didn’t fill the ditch.  They just left a note.  And that is incredibly kind.  Incredibly beautiful.  And all I have to do is read those notes.  All I have to do is look at those notes.  All I have to do is make a little effort to remember those notes.  Rock ahead.  Ditch ahead.

Inside
1 year ago
'Inside each one of us is the same thing
The bodies are in a different shape
 
Like a lamp giving out light will be the same
whether the lamp is lit in a house of a beggar, 
house of a king, or house of a saint
 
It gives out the same light
No different
 
We know about differences
We do not know about our incredible similarity
Incredible similarity
 
In this world
every human being wants to feel peace
 
In this world
every human being wants to feel joy
 
It doesn't matter what they call it
 
Every human being wants to feel love'

Choose Light

"You, your life, your existence, is very much that difference between darkness and light. Because you exist, the possibility of light exists in your life. You cannot choose the darkness. You should not choose the darkness.

Dc832900There is no shortage of unconsciousness in this life, in this world, in this hour, in this minute, in this second. But it's up to you. You can decide to be conscious and then all of a sudden, there is no shortage of consciousness, either.

 There is no shortage of darkness in this world, but if you choose the light, believe me, there is no shortage of light, either. There is no shortage of hate in this world, but if you choose the love, then there is no shortage of that love, either. There are a lot of lies in this world. There is a lot of falsehood in this world. But if you choose the Truth, then there is no shortage of Truth, either. And it is your choice that you make. It is your understanding."

Essence of Infinite
1 year ago

The Essence of Infinite

As we exist in this world, as we function in this world, what really exists? There are issues. Everybody is surrounded by issues. Good issues, bad issues, good news, bad news. "You have been promoted; you have been fired." "You have just bought a new car; you have just lost a new car." Today, you are young. And you look—the same self will look at the mirror and say, "Today, you are old."

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationRemember this. It was you—the same self—looked in the mirror and said, "I am so young." The same self looked in the mirror and said, "I look good." The same self is going to look in the mirror and proclaim, "I’m getting old." Same self is going to look in the mirror and say, "I used to be young." Same mirror. Mirror is mirror. Same self.

So, are you not curious, what is this self? Are you not curious to understand your true nature? Are you not curious to understand what is this realm of existence? People talk about liberation, and I wonder. What liberation? This body comes from dust. This is what it came from. These simple elements. And it’ll go back to these elements and it’ll be re-used again and again and again. And again, and again, and again.

And then they go, "But the soul. Your essence will come back." My essence cannot be separated from the essence of the infinite. It’s one and the same. This is where in me resides the infinite. This body is finite, and what lives inside this finite shell is infinite.

Prem Rawat

1 year ago

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationIn this body, in this shell, which, by the way, is made out of dirt. Actually, you know earth is made out of dirt, and come to think of it, most of the universe, any solid matter out there seems to be also dirt. Anyway, this dirt, inside of it resides the infinite. What is infinite? Suffice to say, that which was, is, and will be, is a pretty good definition. Suffice to say that it has the capability—something in you has the capability of making this dirt dance, talk, walk, and most importantly, want. Want. This is the most unique combination. And when this process is taking place, it is called life. And so far this union is intact, you are alive. And so far you are alive, you can feel. So far, so good? What would you like to feel? What would you like to feel? Somebody said, “Bliss,” somebody said, “Love.”

You know, you can feel both. And much more than that. Not only feel bliss, but feel contentment. Not only feel contentment, but feel joy. Not only feel joy, feel happiness. Not only feel happiness, feel bliss. And many, many more like that. If you could only feel that infinite inside of you. That’s all.

Kindness
1 year ago

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationKindness is in you. You don’t have to create kindness. There’s more kindness in you than you can possibly imagine. There’s more love in you than you can possibly imagine.

Why should you be kind? When you are kind, it makes you feel good. A lot of people want to be kind so that people will approve of them. But when you are kind, it makes you feel good. A very good incentive. And it’s very contagious.

You want to be kind? Be kind to you. Yes, people get angry and this and that, but you need to forgive and to forgive yourself. This is where kindness begins. If you cannot be kind to yourself, being kind to other people is arbitrary. We all make mistakes and will continue to make them. If we did not make mistakes, we would not be able to learn from them. But we need to learn from them and move forward, whatever it takes. As long as you learn from them, making mistakes is not a problem.

So, you have kindness; you have everything you need. Practice it. And what you practice, you will become good at. It’s very simple. It really is.

In Awe
1 year ago

I am in awe of the strength of this existence. I am in awe in the power of this breath. I am in awe in that engine that moves. That transpires, that shapes, that pushes, that molds, that folds, that evolves. I’m in awe.

I can’t believe it. That life, that existence, I have, too. And, I, in my life, need to do everything possible to pay the most magnificent tribute to this existence. To this breath. Every single day of my life.

The Beauty

The Beauty

The beauty that you have been gifted surpasses any imagination anyone could ever have.   That’s the life I am talking about: the life where there is an enjoyment in earnest, not protocol.

Somebody asks you, “How are you?”   And you say, “I’m fine.   Thank you.   And yourself?”   Somebody triggers it.   One person triggers it and you say, “Fine.   Thank you.   And how about yourself?”   “And you?”   

Fine?   What is fine?   When you begin to understand the value of each breath, then you begin to understand what fine is all about.  “Fine.   I am alive, me.   I exist.   I have been given a gift.”

Your existence
1 year ago

"We judge life by its external components, but is life just external components?

Is life a bunch of happenstances in one's existence? Or is life something greater? The sum of it is greater than all of those things put together. One life is greater than all the things that are happening in this world, because all the things in this world can be replicated again and again, but that one human being dancing on the face of this earth will never be replicated.

I am here to talk about the importance of your existence."

Existence

Once we are born, we start understanding our responsibilities. We start understanding the good, the bad, the right, the wrong.

Gift of Life
1 year ago

I’d like to talk about the gift of this life you have as a human being. Flower beeWhat is a human being? What makes us so different? On one level, there isn’t a lot of difference between us and other animals. Maybe the difference is no greater than the difference between a cat and a dog, but we are different.
What is that difference? There are animals out there that can outrun us, so it’s not running. And there are animals out there that can out-jump us, so it’s not jumping. It’s not the smile, because monkeys smile quite frequently to show their teeth and let everybody else know they’re the boss. So it’s not smiling.
What is it? This is not based on science, but my inclination is that it is our power to appreciate, to enjoy, that makes us who we are. Dogs enjoy what they enjoy. There’s no question about it. They wag their tail, and their eyes light up. They even get a smile. They enjoy what they enjoy. Cats are the same way. They enjoy what they enjoy. And birds enjoy what they enjoy.
But there is something we can enjoy because of who we are. And that, in my opinion, is what makes us a little bit different.

Express this Life
1 year ago

Your life, every day that you live it, is a consciously struck note. The instrument you have been given is called life. The possibility of peace dances upon the stage where a heart full of contentment and gratitude can exist. Instead of complaining, "Here are all the things that are wrong" or "I wish things were this way or that way," how about looking at things the way they are?

This existence is your home. Be in that serenity, that contentment, that joy. Don't let a moment go by. Play this instrument to express that feeling that you are alive—that this means something to you, that it isn't a story about a person who got everything and kept nothing.

Changes happen, and changes will happen, but there is one thing that has never changed: your thirst for peace, your thirst for joy. Ever since you were a little child, it has been there, and for as long as you are alive, it's going to be there. Fulfill it. Be fulfilled. - Maharaji

Fulfillment
1 year ago
This Time, It's You

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationA lot of people think fulfillment will change the whole world for you. It won’t. What it will do is, let you know where the true home is.

So, how do you prepare? You’re finally going to have to learn to trust you. Up till now, you didn’t have to trust you. All you had to do was trust other people. And that was nice. Because when they didn’t come through, you can tell them, "You broke my trust. You terrible person. You betrayed me. You broke my trust." Usually that is said with a lot of tears.

But this time, this is not about another person. This time, it’s you. Do you know how to trust yourself? Do you know what it’s like to trust this life? Do you know what it is like to trust this breath? Do you know what it is like to trust this existence? Do you know what it is like to trust the very fact that peace is within inside of you?

That’s what it takes. Let there be a clear understanding that what you are looking for is inside of you.

True nature

We forget our true nature. We accept the nature of those around us.

Look in the mirror within you and see for yourself who you are: Beautiful, ageless. You’re not the sum of your wrinkles. There is something in you since you were a child, and it will be there till your very last breath. Get to know it.

Live your life consciously. Be aware of every day because it’s irreplaceable. ”

Nothing Trivial
1 year ago

This thing called life has been described as a portal, a gateway. This is as close as the infinite and the finite can get. And here, in this life, the finite can experience the infinite. Just like in space, eventually the infinite will consume the finite. The finite will go back to being dust again, and the infinite will remain.

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationThat’s amazing, I think. There’s a lot of nothing out there. And then there is something, and that something is really something. And then, a lot of nothing again. Expanding and contracting. Breathing, existing. Disappearing, reappearing. Colliding. Becoming something else. It’s quite a thing. Amazing. Here you are; you are something. Don’t compare it, “Oh, that’s so trivial.” In this universe nothing is trivial—nothing. Even dust is not trivial, because that’s all there is—compacted dust and loose dust. You’re dust. But it’s something, not nothing.

So let go of your confusion, doubts, misery. Do not always worry, “What’s going to happen? Where am I going?” This is what you’ve been wondering all your life. People have so many ideas. Fine. I absolutely believe that heaven is here. And I not only believe, I know this is the vessel that can feel the beauty of heaven. This is what has been given to you. Read more...

Next time you look in the mirror
2 years ago

My job is to take a mirror and hold it in front of you. And sometimes when you look at yourself in the mirror, you say, "God. I look terrible." And all I have to say is, "Keep looking. That's you." And you say, "But my hair isn't made up. I don't have any lipstick. I don't have any makeup on. I look terrible."  
It's like, no. With your eyes. Don't look at the skin, but see an existence.   See an existence and behold a miracle. Not a face. How many of you have looked at a mirror and seen yourself to judge yourself? "Do I look right? My beard shaved right," you know? I mean, how many of you? Well, next time you look in the mirror, don't look at your beard, don't look at your lipstick, don't look at your hair and makeup – look at an existence. Because that's what's precious.   That's what's incredible.

Precious
2 years ago

Every moment in our lives is the most precious, because it is the moment we have. Wisdom is not realizing the preciousness of something when it is gone. Wisdom is recognizing the preciousness of what we have.

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationThere’s a beautiful Chinese saying: "It is good intelligence to know your friends, but it is true wisdom to know yourself."

Outside, you are always changing. On the inside, there is no change. I have seen people who have gotten old—their face, their body, looks different. Inside, they’re the same. Their heart is the same.

Why not find out what is within you? Why not get in touch with the perfection that is within you? Why not understand what your heart is trying to say to you? Why do we ignore our inner self and only try to do what the outer self wants to do? The inner self is a part of us, and if we have not heard that simple request, we have not heard the whole story of this life.

On this journey of life, make sure the heart is fulfilled. Experience peace. When you can experience peace, that’s when peace will come into your world. People say, "In this world, there needs to be peace." I say, "No, in your world there needs to be peace, because if there isn’t peace in your world, there isn’t going to be peace in this world."

War does not grow on trees. War grows in the hatred in people’s minds. Peace does not grow on trees. Peace grows in people’s hearts. That’s where you will find peace. It is within you. Look for it. Do whatever is necessary to find peace in your life and be content. You have known this since you were a little child, but you forgot because everything else became important. I remind people what is important—to balance this existence. Feel the joy within you and be fulfilled.

When I say to people, "Peace is possible," people say, "No."
All I know is, if war is possible, peace is possible, because it is the other side of the coin. You cannot have a coin with one side only. If there can be war, there can be peace. And it begins not with countries. It begins not with nations. It begins not with governments. It begins with you, with me, with each one of us. This is what I can give.

A Miracle
2 years ago

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationLife is about now. Somebody told me once that I was an emperor in my last lifetime. So what? If you live your life by explanations, maybe it would be important to know what you were in your last lifetime or what will happen after this lifetime. But if you live understanding the value of this life, all those things are irrelevant. The only thing that is relevant is that I am alive. Now.

The unfolding of the same power that unfolds the universe is what just came and touched me, bringing me this gift of life. Bringing me every day, every moment, every star. This is a miracle. Every baby that is born is a miracle. We do not understand that, and that's why we suffer. Having everything, we think we have nothing. Burdened by our problems, we hobble through life.

Yet how beautiful it is in this moment. I cannot go back to yesterday, however hard I try. And no matter how much I try, I cannot go to tomorrow. To me, that is supreme wisdom. Here I am in this moment, and here, everything is wonderful.

Young people want to live in the future. Older people want to live in the past. Nobody wants to live in the present. And where has joy placed itself? Where has understanding placed itself? In the present.

So if you ever wonder why it is so hard to have understanding about life, maybe the answer is: You don't live where it lives. You have become used to confusion, and it's not nice.

What can you do? Learn how to live in today. And what is today? Another chance you have been given to fully feel what it feels like to be alive. Amazing. And this is what life is all about.

You

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationWhen you see a sunrise, what do you see? Well, let me tell you - next time you see a sunset, check this out... next time you see a sunset, look at the sunset. Look at the sunset, and then remember, you're alive, you exist. You.

YOU!

There is no one like you on the face of this earth - only you.

Do you know, you could give your ideas to someone, you could give your jacket to someone, you could give your watch to someone ... you can never give your breath to another person.

You can never give this life to another person.

It's impossible to transplant that. It's unique. And every moment is unique.

And every day there will be a sunset, and every day there will be a sunrise ... at least around the equator. You get too far north - 6 months, nothing! Around the equator, there will be a sunrise, there will be a sunset.

And there will be people who will stand and admire the colors, and then there will be those people who will admire something else, because they can see a little bit beyond the sun; they can see a little bit beyond the color; they can see a little bit beyond the blue, they can see themselves.

Natural  Alternative Holistic Health informationThey will see a forest, and they will see a little bit beyond the forest; they'll see themselves.

They'll know that that is a gift too, that they can witness that because they are alive.

And they will be thankful and they will allow their heart to be filled with gratitude.
GRATITUDE.
Thankfulness! Not obligatory thankfulness, but the thankfulness that comes from within you, that you are thankful. Gratitude.

To Know... not because somebody has whispered something in your ear, but you know.

To be thankful, not for the sunset, but for that breath that has allowed you to see the sunset.
Because, remember - there will be many many many sunsets even after you're gone. Many! And you won't see them.

There is something else going on that is allowing you to see the one that is taking place in front of you.

Shape your own story

Forest skyHow do you want your story to end? What kind of ending would you like on your life story? It's up to you. The ending is not written yet. And it doesn't matter what's been written so far. Maybe it's good - Maybe it's bad - maybe it's boring - but the ending isn't written yet! That's cool, because you can shape it. You can shape it so you live happily ever after. That would be a very nice story.

Your pages are still blank. And that's what I mean by opportunity. It's simple, and it's beautiful. The opportunity isn't to correct what's happened in the past. The opportunity is to write the remaining pages.
