desi baba Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice. Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheena Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Suffering is the sandpaper of our life. It does its work of shaping us. Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise. ~ Ram Dass 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheena Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 This definition of God is not the philosopher’s interpretation, but is valid for the seeker so that he may know the characteristics of God. If you want to attain God, you will have to make these characteristics your religious practice. You have to try to be God in a small way. As you gradually begin to become like Him, you will find a rhythm establishing itself and a resonance struck between you and God. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheena Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 God is not a concept, not a thought. He is not the settlement of an argument, not an outcome of the mind. God is truth. Thinking isn’t relevant -- you have to see. By thinking you will only wander. You have to open your eyes, but if they are filled with thoughts and concepts, they will remain sightless. Only eyes without thoughts enable you to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheena Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his grandson. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves." "One wolf is evil and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance." "The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep VISION." "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well." The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said. Then he finally cried out; "Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?" The elder Cherokee replied, "The wolf that you feed." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
