“Be a light unto the world, and hurt it not. Seek to build
not destroy.
Bring My people home.
Bring My people home.
How?
By your shining example. Seek only Godliness. Speak only in
truthfulness. Act only in love.
Live the Law of Love now and forever more. Give everything
require nothing.
Avoid the mundane.
Do not accept the unacceptable.
Teach all who seek to learn of Me.
Make every moment of your life an outpouring of love.
Use every moment to think the highest thought, say the
highest word, do the highest deed. In this, glorify your Holy Self, and thus
too, glorify Me.
Bring peace to the Earth by bringing peace to all those
whose lives you touch. Be peace. Feel and express in every moment your Divine
Connection with the All, and with every person, place, and thing.
Embrace every circumstance, own every fault, share every
joy, contemplate every mystery, walk in every man’s shoes, forgive every
offense (including your own), heal every heart, honor every person’s truth,
adore every person’s God, protect every person’s rights, preserve every
person’s dignity, promote every person’s interests, provide every person’s
needs, presume every person’s holiness, present every person’s greatest gifts,
produce every person’s blessing, pronounce every person’s future secure in the
assured love of God.
Be a living, breathing example of the Highest Truth that
resides within you. Speak humbly of yourself, lest someone mistake your Highest
Truth for boast. Speak softly, lest someone think you are merely calling for
attention. Speak gently, that all might know of Love. Speak openly, lest
someone think you have something to hide. Speak candidly, so you cannot be
mistaken. Speak often, so that your word may truly go forth. Speak
respectfully, that no one be dishonored. Speak lovingly, that every syllable
may heal. Speak of Me with every utterance. Make of your life a gift. Remember
always, you are the gift!
Be a gift to everyone who enters your life, and
to everyone whose life you enter. Be careful not to enter another’s life if you
cannot be a gift. (You can always be a gift, because you always are the
gift—yet sometimes you don’t let yourself know that.) When someone enters your
life unexpectedly
Animals are more ancient than us. Our ancient brothers and sisters.
They enjoy a seamless presence - a lyrical unity with the earth.
Animals live outside in the wind, the waters, in the mountains and the clay.
The knowing of earth is in them.
The zen-like silence and thereness of the landscape is mirrored in the silence and solitude of animals.
Animals know nothing of jesus or buddha.
They live outside the politics of human intention.
Somehow they already inhabit the eternal.
The spiritual mind recognizes the ancient belonging and knowing of the animal world.
The dignity, beauty and wisdom of the animal is not diminished by any false hierarchy or human arrogance.
Somewhere in the spiritual mind is a grounding perception that humans are the inheritors of this deeper world.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” - Ghandi
