Once upon a time an old Chero-kee told his grandson about a battle that was raging within himself. He said "My son, it is between 2 wolves. One is Evil: anger,envy, sorrow, greed, regret, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, dishonesty, false pride, superiority, and Ego.

"The other is Good: peace, joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,

empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, purity and faith..."

The grandson thought about it awhile and then asked his grandfather "Which wolf wins?"

The old Chero-kee simply replied "The one I feed!".


TODAY, LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY, WE WAKE UP EMPTY

AND FRIGHTENED. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO THE STUDY

AND BEGIN READING. TAKE DOWN A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

LET THE BEAUTY WE LOVE BE WHAT WE DO.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO KNEEL AND KISS THE GROUND.

Autumn words...

Fall is swinging into winter.

A time to slow down and reflect.

The leaves are returning Earth's favors,

The trees sleep naked and unabashed.

Why not change with the rhythms of the seasons?

Why not learn from their pace?

Harmony is all around us,

Yet elusive in our minds...

Love & Peace are what Christ & Christmas are really about!!!

Dear brother Massood, Love is our source, our journey, and our destiny... Knowing this to be true we are willing to live and die for Love, smile and cry for Love, search earth and sky for Love, and in the process we shall fall, and fall and fall.  As Jesus said "there's no love without sacrifice!" and ultimately it is nothing but Ego that stands in the way of the highest, purest, truest Love; forgiveness is a necessity for this Love, which is the only kind that will last... Life remains to be the greatest blessing thank GOD, and Love, yes Love the greatest gift. "The only begotten" could also refer to what we hold to be most dear to us, be it money, time, our Ego or our heart; and it is in this sharing, in this letting go that we bring about freedom and salvation from the suffering... Thank you for sharing your heart, being a true friend and a devout disciple of Love. When we ache in our hearts may we remember that Heaven, nor Love are for the faint of Heart !
Merry Christmas Massood jaan & GOD bless you and family

Living Love...

Dear Massood jaan,
May this day find you breathing deeply, calmly and gratefully.  To love, and love unconditionally is the greatest and most challenging of human accomplishments.  It is a love free from attachments. Therefore letting-go is so helpful.  All challenges have a bright side, and for this reason there is good there.  All suffering has a healing aspect, and for this reason Universe allows it. There's a Hebrew proverb "Whoever willingly accepts suffering, brings salvation this world!" A meaningful focus for all of us, is perhaps to look for ways to smooth-out all our relationships. Hence the need for cultivating wisdom (through reflection & self-purification), forgiveness (through understanding & compassion), peacefulness (through propriety & discipline), and benevolence (through endless effort & dedication).
Blessings of Peace to thee

"Love letter"

In the Holy name of Love. If i say i Love you, can you fathom the depth of this offering?

I love you and i will for ever love you, til there is no more you, nor me, only the Eternal

Spirit which dances through time, and plays hide & seek with space...

It is this very power which moves the fingers to type these words, and it is this very same mysterious force which can see, and attach meaning to these letters, and ignite emotions, which burn and fade as the warm and light-emitting flames of a beautiful fire...

About me, i wake up early mornings, many times singing joyful songs, spiritual songs, and strech into Yoga and then offer incense and make bows of gratitude for Heaven & Earth for parents, family and teachers. For Saints and Angels and ancestors. For a world run by Peace, and fed with Love...

Then i go to work, where i love the people and enjoy the activities of a busy company...

I eat vegetarian food and rake the beautiful colored leaves on top of the mountain at the Dao Temple. People come to visit and talk about Spirituality and the problems of daily life. You know Saints never complain, because they don't have time. All their time is taken with giving "praise" (true meaning of prayer). I still complain, so i' m nowhere close to Saints. Yet i want to learn from them, so i read the Holy books of Bible, Koran Sutras. And wonder how to live that pure love, all the time, with everyone.


and i'm ok with never acheiving that goal, as long as i sincerely put my heart into it, i'm happy.

and i have never been so happy, not that i don't have times of depression, or fear and doubt. Just over all i am happier than i've been for a long time . Maybe since i was 5 !

That's one of my dreams, to be as light and pure as a little child.

I get along pretty well with everyone, and if i get upset, first i let go of it, and then i analyze what i can learn from the experience. And move on. Isn't this the message of Life: Move on!

A journey right?

We are all "Darvishes" even if we're not aware of it! And when we awaken,

then we'll know we were dreaming all along!!! Sweet dreams sweet friend...


THE END (to be continued!)


He who loves you {no fine print}

let it rain...Greetings dear one

May this day find you with an open heart & open mind.

Throughout our life we encounter countless opportunities for enlightenment: from others, from

ourselves, from every circumstance and every bend of the road...Yes we are on the path of discovery. Evolving to a wiser, more benevolent being!

Suffering is a built-in mechanism to let us know when

we are off-track. Peace is the candy to motivate us

to press on...

And friends, yes true friends are the greatest of treasures found on earth, because they teach us

the magic of sharing. How when we share our joys,

our joy increases, and when we share our pains, our pain decreases!!

There is a passage from the Bible "Avoid loneliness

like the plague!" yet so many isolate their heart in an

attempt to "play it safe", which only prolongs the hurt.

Lack of clarity postpones health of every aspect:

Spirit/mind/body. Let us take heed from the Masters of

antiquity, and initiate the inner wisdom to enlighten

our way, and lighten our worldly load. Let us in turn

communicate a reassuring glance, and whisper an

encouraging smile to spread the light of Love.

Are we not soul-drops falling from heaven to benefit

this world? To soften the arid hearts, and bring to life

the hidden potential beneath the surface??

Let us join together in streams, rivers, and oceans to rise yet again, dancing in the Heavens, only to descend once more to meet the prayers of a kindred spirit...

your friend

*********************************************************************

In the whispering light of the early morning

music dances across the ocean of mist

playing, flowing, offering prayers

One is all there ever was;

who then is beyond the reach of Love?

the light of truth

Every morning we are greeted with the loving light of the Sun. Reminding us we are blessed and cared for.
Every night we are pacified with the light of the Stars. Reassuring us we are one and never alone.
And when we "look" within, we see the light of the Divine, guiding our steps, and illuminating our path.
Such is the experience of the DAO Seminar in September. So if your Heart is leading you, please be welcome, and know that the enlightenment you shall experience, you may bring to every soul...
Meeting angelic Hearts such as yourself, is one of the greatest joys of this world
