God manifests Himself everywhere, in everything

“Life is simple: 

We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent 

and God is shining through it all the time. This is not just a fable or a nice story. 

It is true. If we abandon ourselves to God and forget ourselves, 

we see it sometimes, and we see it maybe frequently. 

God manifests Himself everywhere, in everything--i

n people and in things and in nature and in events.

It becomes very obvious that He is everywhere and in everything 

and we cannot be without Him. You cannot be without God. 

It's impossible. It's simply impossible." 

~ Thomas Merton

to give is to love...

“Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. 

We are all children of chance, and none can say why

 some fields will blossom and others lay brown beneath the August sun. 

Care for those around you. Look past your differences. 

Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices in life no more easily made.

 And give. Give in any way you can, of whatever you possess. 

To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. 

Care less for your harvest than how it is shared, 

and your life will have meaning 

and your heart will have peace.”

Allow yourself to be engulfed by your inner light...

~Agnisattva~

 

"The discovery of God is the most simple of simple things 

for He is none other than your own Self.
It takes no effort to discover Him in the same way that it takes no effort 

for one's face to be reflected in a mirror.
The discovery of God is your discovery of yourself.
The seeming difficulty is in the refusal to let the thoughts

 you have about yourself go. The mind says: 

"It cannot be this simple..." and the mind is right:

 its even simpler than this.
Allow yourself to be engulfed by your inner light.
Nothing more is needed 

or required."

The greatest romance is with the Infinite.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda~

“God understands you when everyone else misunderstands you. He is the Lover who cherishes you always, no matter what your mistakes. Others give you their affection for a while and then forsake you, but He abandons you never. In countless ways God is daily seeking your Love.

The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of Divine Love has begun.

Feel the Love of God; then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of Love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things, and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of Divine Love.

Giving Love to all, feeling the Love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world.”

living from the inside out...

"Anger and hatred are the materials from which hell is made. 

A mind without anger is cool, fresh, and sane." 

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

"When the weather is hot, keep a cool mind. 

When the weather is cold, keep a warm heart." 

~ Ajahn Brahm

"Ultimately, there are only two choices: choose from fear 

or choose from love. Both have predictable outcomes."

"We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see

 and then project that world outside, making it the truth as we see it."

the Oneness, that breathes us all...

"Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles, 

and the water is clear? 

Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?"
