When I get upset, out of anger I often say, “Never again!” Yet when I am calm, my heart softens and gives in. This is my weakness, as I always feel God forgives me all the time. Human beings do make mistakes out of ignorance but do not know how to forgive and move on.…
We hear about these deals on the TV show, “Shark Tank,” and also from high-pressured salespeople. I was one of them, so I know. We want people to make decisions right away or lose the opportunity. Spiritual Masters make much better offers, but they give us lifetimes to decide. We are so stupid that we…
We need a clear mirror to see our reflections. Our minds, too, are mirrors, but they are so cluttered up that we cannot see our own reflections. If we can clean our minds, we will see ourselves clearly. Let’s go further. If you do not exist, then whose reflection will you see? When you lose…
When spiritual Masters bless, they do not like to take credit for the blessings. My spiritual Master would use the occasion of the death day of his Master to bless me in my spiritual evolution. He told me, “More important than the birth dates of the Masters are the days they leave their bodies. Today…
More and more people are getting tested to see if they have the virus. God is testing us every second to see if the virus of worldly attraction has consumed us. Every time I enjoy anything, my first thought goes to God to tell Him that I would still rather have Him. I am thankful…
For a loss to occur, you first must have something to lose. You cannot lose what you don’t have. For example, you must first have the experience of peace to say that you have lost your peace. You must first earn money in order to lose it. Even to lose your mind, you must first…
The three things needed for success are some talent, hard work, and good timing. I do not have the first two, but I was just fortunate enough to meet the right people at the right time. Grace gave the timing needed for situations to fall into place. We came with nothing, so even having one…
We get a lot of news mixed with opinions, so the truth gets hidden. In the old days, the news was based on facts and was objective. We get carried away with what people say and do not exercise our judgment, do not know right from wrong. Spirituality, too, has become opinionated and simple, basic…
I heard this song when I was younger and now I finally got it. Almost everybody feels they have experienced paradise some time in their lives. And some are still looking for paradise. Living in St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, my license plate said “American Paradise.” The only paradise we have not found is hiding…
Whenever I behaved badly as a child, my father did not have to shout or hit me. The look he’d give me was enough to rattle my cage. My spiritual Masters would give me looks showing that they were displeased with me. I would contemplate on my actions, feel the guilt, and be miserable for…
All these daily thoughts are based on the same core—spirituality. Fancy words and variations of them are used to make them interesting. Yet, the basic core has to be the same or the purpose is defeated. If you are talking about the sun, you may refer to the planets or the cosmos, but you cannot…
We may hear the sweetest words but may not know the bitter intentions behind them. On the other hand, many times, my words are not used correctly and the pure intentions behind them are misunderstood. A spiritual Master may use harsh words, but His intention is only to reform you with pure love. When we…
