Quote 1: God is LOVE live in LOVE
There are many religions and many beliefs out there. Love and truth is what my personal spirituality is based on. That's what I try to aspire too. When I think of God I think of the Divine as pure light, truth and love. I don't want to follow any particular religion because there are truths in all and ultimately being a more loving being is the most universal religion one can practise. It sounds easy. Just be loving...but it's not... when one considers human nature.
Real love knows no want, no need, no anger. How often do we forget this. When you first fall in love we get into a stupor. The person becomes the most admiral being we have ever met. Their flaws become beautiful. When we get comfortable with them, it suddenly changes. "You don't spend enough time with me or it annoys me when you do that." Suddenly love changes to wants and needs.
Getting angry, wanting and needing from another makes us forget to look through the eyes of the other person. To except their flaws and to understand them.
Real love just gives, without wanting anything in return. That is unconditional love. That, to be honest can be difficult to practise. It just takes a second when someone could upset you, to get your senses heighten and emotions to be stirred. Taking the "I" out of everything can be difficult when trying to run your life correctly in a materialistic world. Aspiring to be a more loving being is harder to practise then it is to say you are loving.
The closer I get to practising being more loving the closer I feel I get to GOD.
Quote 2: Master the mind and be a master mind
Another quote from Sai.
The reason I chose this quote as a follow up to the first is simply because as I mentioned being more unconditionally loving requires you to give up wants and needs and desire. So it is the senses that one must learn to control. It is ours senses that boils up and overflows that makes us lose control and brings us to misinterpret situations and react. Learning to control the mind from short impulses based on the immediate interpretations of the senses requires discipline. Hence ...master the mind and be the master mind
Quote 3: Suffering Succotash
Okay so yeah all these quotes floating around in the world, I needed one that is simple and fun and takes away all that....
So thanks Sylvester.
So to end things off, here is one last quote from last year. Thanks Super J
