Taittiriya Upanishad

May God protect us,

grant us wisdom's fruit;

may we gain energy to know the Truth;

may our intellects grow clear and bright;

may we cherish no ill feelings toward anyone.

Om, peace, peace, peace be unto all.

Taittiriya Upanishad 2.1.1

Coca Cola Ad for Seniors

Moving Violation

Now here's a hard core drinker and one tough Dodge truck.
The driver hit the left turn light and sheared off the light post at the base, and then kept driving on about 2 miles to Squires Four Pub, where he stopped for more beer!!

How impaired do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying a stop light? (I Wonder if the light was green?)

The truck was towed about 2.5 miles to the Vernon towing yard, with the light still pinched between the two tow hooks and the bumper bent around it.

It took several good hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free.

The Promise Of The Spirit

Stengthened by the promised Spirit of the Divine, let me surrender myself into my Father's hands, living in trust and in hope as I follow the way of discipleship toward the fullness of His Kingdom.

"Hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord!" (Ps 27:14)

Let me pray to the Lord who is the origin, companion, and goal of our life's journey.

You do not disappoint those who hope in your mercy: remember that I am slow to believe, and strengthen my faith.

You guide those who walk in darkness: teach your path to all those who seek the road of life.

O Father, your are my guide and guard along life's path. Lead me in the way of justice and love, righteousness and peace, by the guidance of the Spirit.

Stay with me Lord, through the gift of your Spirit.

There Are Really Two Journeys

Every man's desire is according to his evolution; that which he is ready for, is the desirable thing for him. -- Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

There are really two journeys. There is the journey from the goal to the life in the world, and there is the journey from the life in the world to the goal. And both journeys are natural. As it is natural to go forth from the eternal goal, so it is natural to go from the changing life to the life which is unchangeable.

Which is the most desirable thing in life, to seek for the goal or to dwell in this changing life? The answer is that every person's desire is according to his evolution. That for which he is ready is desirable for him. Milk is a desirable food for the infant, other foods for the grown-up person. Every stage in life has its own appropriate and desirable things. The desire to attain to a goal must be there before reaching it; when he does not feel the desire, it is not necessary for a man to seek it.

Two of the principal sources of pleasure in the physical world are good food and bodily comfort, yet one single beautiful thought or one charming mental image may provide more pleasure and joy than all the beauty there is in the whole physical world. So we can see that when we raise the intelligence from the physical plane, and then even higher, we will come to a state of realization where we see that life is not really limited at all; that it too is unlimited. It is when our experience is confined to the lower phases of existence that we find that our life is limited. Herein lies the whole tragedy of life.
