Faith and simplicity

If it be your will
then let anything happen
I will treat it as a gift
and rejoice in it.
To practice this unfailingly
day and night
sleeping or awake
strengthens faith,
removes all doubt.
What is left
is complete clarity
and utter simplicity.

Making a choice

God, our creator has given us the right and the ability to choose.
If we use the ability wisely then we would say,"no, thank you." every time a choice is presented to us.
When we make a choice, we declare that we are wiser than the creator.
Are we?

Human Rights

It is high time we examined the issue of human rights. Is there any reason why humans should have special rights denied to other living species?
Haven't we used these special rights to destroy the environment?
If we are serious about taking care of our environment we must examine the rights we claim for ourselves and give up some of them.
Ganoba

Being Present

Environment is to be taken in its totality, not only those aspects that are useful for human beings of a certain country, nationality, race or culture. These are ways in which we have cut up the environment into pieces and caused greavious harm to it.
In our arrogant foolishness we do not realise that this also causes irreversible damage to our humanness.
Engagement means the use of all the 5 senses of perception and all the 5 senses of action collectively, in a coordinated way.
If we do this then we experience the environment as a wonderfully supportive system.
This eliminates all day dreaming. This is being present.
Ganoba

Being Present

Being present means accepting all that comes our way
without classifying it in opposing categories.
If we just describe it as it is; not as good and/or bad,
then the present opens its treasures to us.
It is such a rich way of living.
Give it a go just once and enjoy the rewards for ever.

Looking Inwards

The looking I am referring to, is not with the external eyes. The external eyes have a narrow angle of vision. At the edges of this angle the vision is blurred and beyond it nothing at all. There is also a lot of distortion caused by mental blinkers.
This kind of looking is of no use to know the reality.
Turning inwards is dropping all preconceived notions, seeking no proof or validation, just letting it be.
Clarity appears mysteriously.
This is the "God alone knows" state.
Welcome.
