    THE LAW OF ONE

    THE LAW OF ONE
    We are all one.
    When one is harmed, all are harmed.
    When one is helped, all are healed.
    Therefore, in the name of who I AM,
    and I am one with all;
    I ask that ONLY THAT WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GOOD OF ALL
    CONCERNED happen here and now, and through all time and space.
    I give thanks that this is done.
    SO BE IT!
    There is no they, only us. We're part of a large
    fellowship called "the human race."
    We all hurt the same. We all love the same.
    We all bleed the same.
    We all need understanding and care
    A human being is part of the whole, called by us "universe," limited in time and space.
    He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
    something separated from the rest
    - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
    This delusion is a prison,
    restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons close to us.
    Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by
    widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity
    and the whole of nature in its beauty."
     


    Just for today...
    May you know that who you really are is a divine infinite being .
    May you understand that each positive action you choose
    returns back to you multiplied.
    May you realize that you are a powerful manifesting being
    who can create anything your heart desires.
    May you give generously to others from a place of trust
    and knowing this is an infinite abundant Universe.
    May you radiate your love like the Sun with everyone you encounter.
    May you become a trust-a-holic who can easily let go of any fear that arises.
    May you experience total freedom from your ego/mind and whatever thought patterns it is addicted to.
    May you be filled with gratitude and be truly thankful for the smallest of blessings in your life right now.
    May you enlighten others with your simple sweet divine presence
    And allow this lightness to radiate to others as laughter, appreciation and love.
    May you always find great peace at the center of the cyclone of life....

    Love All Love God

    Love All Love God

    When we say that we love God, it automatically follows that our love now extends
    to entire humanity. Humanity is creation of THAT creator. Not loving HIS
    creation would mean disregarding and disrespecting HIS existence thereby
    implying that our love for HIM is superficial.

    Often we hear learned people saying that they love God and love everyone.
    However, it is easier said than done. The very same people will be seen judging
    others, telling others what is wrong in their behavior and how to behave rightly
    etc without realizing that each and everyone behaves in a particular manner due
    to various reasons (karmic, Prarabdh etc) which one cannot comprehend with his
    limited knowledge. We do not know why a person behaves in a particular manner
    because we know only about his present lifetime and not his past births.

    Loving God means accepting each and everyone just the way they are and not
    passing any judgments. Everything that God has created is in perfection. All
    that we see around us and also what we cannot see or feel through our five
    senses is result of that Divine Will. Therefore, it has to be PERFECT. What is
    perfect need not be judged.

    Our Shastras are full of stories where one person’s bad behaviour (like Kekayi
    in Ramayana) has resulted in destruction of demons. With our limited
    capabilities we cannot judge what the cause of someone’s action is and what will
    be the ultimate result of that action. Keeping this in mind, if we stop judging
    others, and love everyone equally we will be reflecting back what we have got -
    God’s Love back to HIS creation.

    True divine love is impartial. It knows no difference. The Sun, the Moon, the
    Trees - The Nature offers its love, services, comfort & grace to all equally
    without any discrimination. We are also part of this creation and most
    intelligent of all then why do we distinguish when it comes to giving out love.
    It could be because we consider ourselves and others separate from each other.
    This is mine, that is theirs etc.

    While interpreting a verse of The Bhagvad Gita, Shirdi SaiBaba has very kindly
    explained that “the disciple also is in fact of the same swarupa(form) . But, it
    is overlaid by the effect of the samaskaras(impressi ons) of innumerable births
    in the shape of ignorance, which hides from his view that he is Shuddha
    Chaitanya (pure divinity)(see B.G. Ch. V-15). As stated therein, he gets the
    impressions - "I am Jiva(a creature) humble and poor." The Guru(spiritual guide)
    has to root out these offshoots of ignorance and has to give upadesh or
    instruction. To the disciple, held spell-bound for endless generations by the
    ideas of his being a creature, humble and poor, the Guru imparts in hundreds of
    births the teaching - "You are God, you are mighty and opulent." Then, he
    realizes a bit that he is God really”. In a state of ignorance, the human
    believes that I am a Jiva (creature), Body is the soul (I am the body), God,
    world and Jiva are different, I am not God, Not knowing that body is not the
    soul and Not knowing that God/ world /Jiva are one. Unless these errors are
    exposed to his view, the disciple cannot learn what is God, jiva, world, body;
    how they are inter-related and whether they are different from each other, or
    are one and the same.

    Our body is vehicle of our soul and our soul is part of Divine Spirit. We have
    what God has but in our ignorance we fail to understand this and feel that we
    are different, separate and better than others. When in ignorance we compare
    ourselves with others we are admitting that we are separate from each other
    which is not true.

    Now that we realize we are God really, it means the whole humanity is God
    indeed. If that be so we are all One with the creation and creator. If there is
    no separation, there can be no comparison and difference. All deserve love
    without any discrimination.

    It is a fact that divinity is embedded in our inner being (we being his
    creation). Thus, we have vast ocean of divine love flowing gently within us. We
    all are full of Love and we are not even aware of this. All we have to do is to
    accept this fact, realize it, tap it and shower our inner divine Love outwards -
    towards whole humanity. What we give out we get back. Therefore, this greatest
    gift of God that we have- LOVE, is meant to be shared impartially with everyone
    so that it easily comes back to us too. SOW love REAP love.
