harmony and balance...

Posted by Sarah at 6:27 AM

“There are two aspects of individual harmony:

the harmony between body and soul,

and the harmony between individuals.

All the tragedy in the world, in the individual

and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony.

And harmony is the best given

by producing harmony in one's own life.”

~ Hazrat Inayat Khan

"Life is about balance.
Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you.
Trust, but don’t be deceived.
Be content,

but never stop improving yourself."
~ Nishan Panwar

someday we may truly access the benefits of solar...

Autobiography of a Yogi

(excerpt from Chapter 26)

The Woman who Never Eats

"What we eat is radiation; our food is so much quanta of energy," Dr. George W. Crile of Cleveland told a gathering of medical men on May 17, 1933 in Memphis. "This all-important radiation, which releases electrical currents for the body's electrical circuit, the nervous system, is given to food by the sun's rays. Atoms, Dr. Crile says, are solar systems. Atoms are the vehicles that are filled with solar radiance as so many coiled springs. These countless atomfuls of energy are taken in as food. Once in the human body, these tense vehicles, the atoms, are discharged in the body's protoplasm, the radiance furnishing new chemical energy, new electrical currents. 'Your body is made up of such atoms,' Dr. Crile said. 'They are your muscles, brains, and sensory organs, such as the eyes and ears.'" Someday scientists will discover how man can live directly on solar energy. "Chlorophyll is the only substance known in nature that somehow possesses the power to act as a 'sunlight trap,'" William L. Laurence writes in the New York Times. "It 'catches' the energy of sunlight and stores it in the plant. Without this no life could exist. We obtain the energy we need for living from the solar energy stored in the plant-food we eat or in the flesh of the animals that eat the plants. The energy we obtain from coal or oil is solar energy trapped by the chlorophyll in plant life millions of years ago. We live by the sun through the agency of chlorophyll."

Sanctify the place you are in-radiance is everywhere.

Posted by Sarah at 6:13 AM

"The divine manifestation is ubiquitous,

only our eyes are not open to it. Awe is what moves us forward.
Live from your own center. The divine lives within you.
The separateness apparent in the world is secondary.
Beyond the world of opposites is an unseen,

but experienced, unity and identity in us all.
You must return with the bliss and integrate it.
The return is seeing that the radiance is everywhere.
The world is a match for us. We are a match for the world.
The spirit is the bouquet of nature.
Sanctify the place you are in."
~ Joseph Campbell
