The Spiritual Life Is A Call To

Wherever People Gather For Selfless Ends, There Is A Vast Augmentation Of Their Individual Capacities. Something Wonderful, Something Momentous Happens. An Irresistible Force Begins To Move, Which, Though We May Not See It, Is Going To Change Our World. In This Lies The Power And The Meaning Of Spiritual Companionship.

To Enjoy Anything, We Cannot Be Attached To It... What We Usually Try To Do Is Capture Any Joy That Comes Our Way Before It Can Escape... We Try To Cling To Pleasure, But All We Succeed In Doing Is Making Ourselves Frustrated Because, Whatever It Promises, Pleasure Simply Cannot Last. But If I Am Willing To Kiss The Joy As It Flies, I Say, "yes, This Moment Is Beautiful. I Won't Grab It. I'll Let It Go."

Our Deepest Need Is For The Joy That Comes With Knowing We Are Of Genuine Use To Others.

Having Come To Realize In The First Stage Of Meditation That We Are Not Our Bodies, In The Second Stage We Make An Even More Astounding Discovery; We Are Not Our Minds Either.

Beneath The Surface Level Of Conditioned Thinking In Every One Of Us There Is A Single Living Spirit. The Still Small Voice Whispering To Me In The Depths Of My Consciousness Is Saying Exactly The Same Thing As The Voice Whispering To You In Your Consciousness. 'i Want An Earth That Is Healthy, A World At Peace, And A Heart Filled With Love.' It Doesn't Matter If Your Skin Is Brown Or White Or Black, Or Whether You Speak English, Japanese, Or Malayalam - The Voice, Says The Gita, Is The Same In Every Creature, And It Comes From Your True Self.
