Today is Independence Day in the USA. We have to wear masks when we go out, the beaches are closed, and we cannot visit many places. There will be no big fireworks show this Independence Day. The lesson for us to learn is, “Let us be independent not from a nation that ruled us, but…
In Catholic school, I had to wear a suit and tie to go to church on Sundays. That forced discipline made me hate going to church. Now I go with my free will to meet my dear friend, Jesus. It is out of pleasure. In the same way, practicing Yoga, sitting in silence, or praying…
With perpetual success, the “I” becomes stronger and stronger, as feel you have the Midas touch. You lose all the proportions of thinking. You begin to feel invincible. “Who is like me?

Albert Einstein admitted that in spite of all that he had achieved he did not feel that his life was fulfilled. Elvis Presley took drugs even though he had the worldly achievements, as they did not fulfill him. Those who have achieved their worldly goals and desires still feel empty, as they don’t feel as…

Sometimes, those who go very deep within do not feel like returning to the physical form. I asked the Lord, “Do we have to come back?” The answer came, “In order to enjoy the dream, this dream world, a dreamer is required to experience it. To enjoy Me in the form or formless, in peace,…
The biggest problem in the world is created by this line of thinking, “What I think, is right.” We are taught many things in life, but we are not taught to think correctly. This is due to a lack of understanding. Not understanding is the cause of all our misery. So, what is right or…
Is it necessary for me to send out thoughts daily? It is not, but I have nothing better to do, so I write and send them. It is necessary for us to speak, react, or get involved in many issues. We spend much of our time and energy on things that really are not necessary.…
We are influenced by the presence, or the absence, of things, sounds, and experiences. We seek the One who gives us this awareness of presence and absence. The One we call God gives us both aspects. We are in the human form and can enjoy both without being influenced by either. Our awareness is on…
Today, happiness has become a post-dated check or a promissory note. If such and such an event takes place, I will be happy. Happiness is an action that can only occur in the present. You may or may not be happy in the future, but you have the possibility to experience happiness this very second.…
