WEEDS~

Weeds to weed out of our garden~

Karma - intense compulsive desire.
Krodha - anger.
Lobha - miserliness.
Moha - infatuation.
Mada - pride coupled with arrogance
Mathsarya - jealousy

Plant in your garden in place of those weeds,  fragrant flowers of love, truth,peace, ahimsa, good conduct.

PEACE~

We cannot do much with one finger.
When all five fingers of the hand join together,
we can acomplish splendid things.
Similarly, it is only due to lack of unity that we are leading a life of diversity and divergent ideas.
All should be united and should lead a happy life with a feeling of camaraderie and fraternity.
To unity and peace. ~

ANGER~

Man is full of anger.
Anger completely eclipses truth in man.
Through this anger he loses his humanness.
Human beings become divine when they free themselves from anger.~

BANYAN TREE~

BANYAN TREE~

This is the tree of enlightenment.
The Banyan tree lives forever, it is immortal.
Growing into a mighty tree by itself, it drops innumerable root like extensions from it's branches to the earth, which in turn becomes fresh roots and extends the tree in all directions.
The process goes on and on, provinding and ever increasing area of shade and shelter to people.
Similarly, God, is likewise providing ever increasing protection and peace for the benefit of the entire humanity always and forever. '
Tis a wish fulfilling celestial tree, identical to Divinity. ~

"OM" "AUM"

"OM "AUM"
There is only word, which is all pervasive throughout the universe.
That is Omkar, that is Pranavam.
The constant and sustained incantation of the Pranavam leads to obliteration of mind and experience of Supreme Bliss. ~

GOLDEN SUN RAY~

Our eyes, hearts and souls
Are peeled towards an image of The Lord
Be it a picture
Be it his form
Or formless
Just a glimse or thought
Fills our hearts with sheer bliss!

Such is the sunflower
Ever and always leaning towards the sunshine
Yearning for its rays
Sun, nurturing this ever beautiful beauty
The Lord, is our golden sun ray.

INNER SELF~

At times we drift away from our innate loving nature and wisdom and allow our consciousness to embrace the notion
that our outer reality of form is our only source of life.

We become mesmerized and subsequently rely upon our creations and forget the power within our being.
Stop and remember this inner being, this Atma. this soul.

Allow yourself to accept and embrace unconditionally the love within your heart and  your inner self. By doing this you will love others, the world at large and life itself.

Love without any expectation in return is possible if we remember our innate nature.
Our inner self~

The key to success~

What motivates us

What inspires us

What drives us to succeed and be happy on this journey

It is the powerful words of a positive inspiring person that can influence you to accomplish anything and everything you want.
Sometimes these people come as divine intervention, just when you need them, embrace this and listen with a quiet mind and still heart and you will hear and you will hear.

WHAT DO WE NEED~

What do we need?

We need, this and that.

But what do we really need?

We have the potential to grow in character, enquire into truth, practice right conduct, non-violence, experience peace and bring peace, grow in unselfish love and realise unity.

Above all we need to have the right attitude towards life, for life , in life, with life.
These are our needs.
All other needs will be met once these needs are fulfilled.

Diwali Blessing's

by Nelline Naidoo on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 6:46pm

 And let us vow to remember that we are all one, embracing all, discriminating against none.
Let us release our grudges anger and pains, for these are nothing but binding chains.
Let us vow to live each day in the most pious, God-conscious way.
Let us vow to serve all who are in need, regardless of race, caste, gender or creed. Let us vow to keep Lord in our heart, to chant His name each day at the start.
Let us vow to lead the world from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth, and from wrong to right.
May this Diwali be filled with prosperity and peace, and love and joy, which don’t cease.
May you have success in all you do.
And may God’s blessings be showered upon you.
This Diwali let us give thanks for all we hold dear: Our health, our family, our friends, our humanity and to the grace of God which never ends.
Live in love~

Life's moments~

Empty spaces
blurry moments
stormy waters
sinking ships
rocky roads
long and lonely
turmoil amidst
sorrow so deep
pain it feels
Always so sudden, never to be told, yet taken your mind, thoughts and spirit a whole and away!
So fleeting yet profound
an emptiness so deep
bottomless it feels
Yet hang on, life's moments
fleeting i'm told
rest assured, light is aglow
glimmer of hope
warmth so deep,
so precious you would want to weep,
yes, rest assured there is always hope.

FOOTSTEPS~

‎"FOOTSTEPS"
Oh! How I hope footsteps this lovely year,will be tenderfoot, light as air
Treading so light the grass stoop not
A foot light but, steps true
Through a journey of splendour, much to endeavour
At times pausing, feet warbling, often wondering
For the path forks and the beaten track makes thee steps weary
I pray thee, hold up my going in thy path, that footsteps slip not
With honour, faith, hope and love,steps I shall take
through this journey of faith, I make.

Smile~

You see, I smile a mile,
it didn't cost me a dime.

Not a dime, nor my time,
only a treasure from my heart with pleasure.

Look, I smile a mile,

A smile, like the petals of a lotus,
which unfurls with a shine.

I tell you, I smile a mile,
it didn't cost me a dime.

A smile given heatily,
overflowing freely.

Yes, a smile I told you so,
is your hearts treasure,
a priceless gift forever!

God is that friend~

God is that friend~

God is that friend and it is up to you to break the silence and bring Him into your life at every moment of the day. God is love, and that is the easiest way to find Him, through love. If you keep your heart open and let love flow, God's love will fill you with divine energy and help you along the path, guiding you to overcome all obstacles. It is a long journey, but it becomes shorter and easier once you share it with the Lord. He knows the path, and will guide you all the way to the very end, to ultimate liberation.

Prema - Love ~

"Prema" or "Love" is the awakening of the Soul and the blossoming and expansion of the heart and spontaneous outpouring of Love  towards all.

Cultivate Love; sow the seeds of Love  in all hearts, shower Love  on the desert sands; let the green shoots, the lovely flowers, the luscious fruits, the sweet harvest of nectar be earned by mankind.

Love  and you will be loved  in return. Promote love, look upon all with Love  and hate will never be your lot.
Without cultivating Love  for others, you can never cultivate Love  for yourself.

Love  lives by giving and forgiving. Self lives by getting and forgetting..Sathya Sai Baba

Man Seeks Joy In Far Off Places~

Man seeks joy in far off places and peace in quiet spots;
but the spring of joy is in his heart.
The haven of peace is in himself.
Even when he walks on the moon, man has to take with him, his fears, his anxieties, his prejudices and his pet aversions. Have faith in God and in the correctness of moral living.

Then, you can have peace and joy, whatever may be the fare that fortune offers you.~ SB

From fears and sorrows to be released
Blessed be the day that we heard his name

Hearts of devotees he will Enthrall
Worshipping God through service to all
Our hearts are happy when we see his face
Call on His name be filled with his grace

Grant us thy love eternally~

SERVICE TO MAN~

All men are made of the same Divine essence.  Service to man will help your Divinity to blossom, for it will gladden your heart and make you feel that life has been worthwhile.  Service to man is service to God, for He is in every man, nay, every living being, stone and stump.  Dedicate your talents to God, let every act be a flower free from creeping worms of envy and egoism, and full of the fragrance of love and sacrifice.~

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of a life filled with love
Love is life's coins and must never be hoarded,

It's no secret that love is this great amulet,
which is said to create beauty in life
Life is a journey and it is the beauty of love that makes this journey worthwhile~

LOVE WALKING ON TWO FEET~

LOVE WALKING ON TWO FEET ~

by Nelline Naidoo on Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 7:19pm

LOVE WALKING ON TWO FEET~He is an inexhaustible reservoir of pure love. His selfless love and compassion for the needy and less privileged. True to His declaration – “My Life is My Message”.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of His devotees worldwide by His personal example to live the ideal that service to man is service to God. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is thus a beacon of hope in a world that is desperately seeking an end to the unrest and sorrow prevalent today.He has come to re-establish the rhythm of righteousness in the world and repair the ancient highway to God, which over the years has systematically deteriorated. His message of “Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God” is a spiritual salve that will lead mankind from the darkness of ignorance to the light of immortality.His formula for man to lead a meaningful life is the five-fold path of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Shanthi (Peace), Prema (Love) and Ahimsa (Non-Violence). Love for God, fear of sin and morality in society – these are His prescriptions for our ailing world.
Indeed, very rarely does such a divine power walk the earth.“Bhagawan Baba is nothing but Love walking on two feet”.Mankind must use this golden opportunity to follow in His footsteps.~

LOVE~

LOVE~

by Nelline Naidoo on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 3:56pm

Embodiments of Love!You are born out of love and sustained by love. You should sanctify your life by leading a life suffused with love. Treat love as the very basis of your life. You are not fit to be called a human being if you submit yourself to trivial problems.The same divinity that is present in an ant is also present in man. Likewise, difficulties are also common for all. The suffering that an ant undergoes is similar to that of man. When such a tiny creature like an ant is able to withstand suffering, why can't man is do the same? He is influenced by his food and habits and thus has become a slave to his mind. That is the reason he is unable to withstand suffering. We should face the challenges of life with fortitude and brush aside the difficulties. Never be cowed down by difficulties. You can attain God only when you face difficulties with courage and overcome them. You should not seek anything other than divine love. There is nothing superior to love in this world. You consider gold, silver, diamond, etc. as most valuable. In fact, all these so called valuable things are meant to delude man. We should not care for such worldly possessions. Instead, we should focus our mind on God. Perform your daily activities keeping God as your goal. Only then will your human birth find fulfilment. We should strive to attain the grace of God and not be deterred by difficulties and losses. When you have God on your side, you can achieve anything. All your difficulties and suffering will vanish in a trice. When such omnipotent Divinity is within us, why should we be worried about trivial matters? Love is the divine power that bestows on us the courage to overcome difficulties. Anything can be achieved with the power of love.
