Advices

One of the things Father has taught me is:

When in doubt, always ask. It never hurts!

And Mother has taught me:

Ask and you shall be given. It hurts still less!

I try to follow both to the last letters.

The first takes care of my mind, the second of my body!

The only responsibility

vajratara — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 12:25:22 +0000

What does the mere chanting of the Divine Name really accomplish? One must weep with true longing. Your only responsibility is to experience profound longing day and night, while seated, walking or lying down, in solitude or in the household or marketplace. Suppose you repeat like a mantra, "Wood contains fire and fire contains rice." Can the mere repetition of these words, valid as they are, kindle the fire, prepare and serve the meal? You will enjoy bliss and gain inner strength only when you commune with God directly, only when you actually partake of the rice. Then alone can you distribute sacred nourishment to the humankind.

[Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa]

School and life

vajratara — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:51:53 +0000

[ - What is the difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

- Yes, buy why do all of "life's" lessons have to be so damn hard?]

Because for one, at school you pay both for the lesson and the test. In life, the test comes for free, therefore you have to pay double for the lessons. For two, in school you often pay with your money. In life, you pay for the lessons with your ego. It is losing the ego that is so very hard, not the lessons!

[ One of my friends often used to ask me: What do they teach you in the school of life?]

Waiting for God

vajratara — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 04:06:46 +0000

It is raining
And I am here
At the crossroads.
I am waiting
For God to come along.

I can't find Him
But only people passing by.

Is He one among them?
Is He in disguise?
Is He?

At your mercy

vajratara — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 04:57:54 +0000

You the Uncreated created me.
You the Formless formed me.
You the Unsustained sustain me.
And you the Endless shall end me.

The naked truth

vajratara — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 04:41:26 +0000

In the end, whatever transpires is just between me and God. Everything else - all people, all events, all circumstances are just excuses, ploys and illusion.

The one and the only solace in this world is: There is God!

Love

vajratara — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 03:13:29 +0000

"What is love?" asked the breeze.

"It is being blown away by you," replied the leaf.

"What is love?" asked the sun.

"It is being brightened by you," replied the earth.

"What is love?" asked the sky.

"It is measuring your vastness," replied the cloud.

"What is love?" asked the fire.

"It is consuming myself in you," replied the twig.
