Please teach me, Lord

Please teach me, Lord ...

I want to know

Exactly how to pray.

I need some words

Which ones are right?

Please tell me what to say.

I've bowed my head

I have knelt down,

But ... should I be upright?

I've closed my eyes,

I've raised my hands,

Or ... should I fold them tight?

Do I stand up?

Should I sit down?

Dear Lord ... what do you like?

Are lights turned on

Or are they off?

Maybe ... candle light?

Wear my glasses?

Take them off?

Be at my desk or table?

Should I whisper?

Speak out loud?

Do I quote the Bible?

What do you think

About the time?

Do You prefer the dawn?

Should I pray fast,

Or keep it slow?

Better short ... or long?

I'm new at this

What are the rules?

I want to do it right.

How do I know

You'll even hear

That I am in Your sight?

And while I sat there quietly,

Waiting for some sign,

I heard a gentle voice say,

"Oh, dearest child of mine ...

Do you think I really care

About the time of day,

Or whether you are standing up,

Or kneeling when you pray?"

"I don't care about your posture,

Or about the place you choose;

Just open up your soul to me,

I have no other rules.

Tell me what is in your heart,

And tell me what you seek;

Tell me of your sorrows,

And of those things that made you weak."

"Speak to me in private

About what concerns you most;

I know about your good deeds ...

You have no need to boast.

My child, you don't need lessons,

Just talk to me each day;

Tell me anything you want, dear child,

Anyone can pray."

Splendour, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, absence of malice,

and absence of pride; these are the qualities

of those endowed with divine virtues, O Arjuna.

Bhagavad Gita 16.3

forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Be like the sandalwood which perfumes the axe that wounds it.

Namasmarana

Namasmarana

 

Namasmarana is the best antidote for all ills. Never be ashamed to sing the name of God. Vemana did not visit any temple for long; for years he was laughing at those who considered the image as a symbol of Divinity. But when his daughter died, he was one day holding her picture in his hand, weeping over the loss. Then it struck him that if the picture could cause sorrow and bring tears, the divine image can evoke positive feelings and bring tears of joy to those who know the beauty and glory of God. The image was a reminder of divine presence.

I look upon all creatures equally

I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear. But those who worship me with love live in me, and I come to life in them.

Bhagavad Gita 9.29

*

There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. All of us belong to the human race, so everyone is equal. Therefore, love each one equally.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

*

We created you from a single pair of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you might know each other not that you might despise each other. Verily the most honoured among you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous.

Quran 49.13

*

Even as the fingers of the two hands are equal, so are human beings equal to one another. No one has any right, nor any preference to claim over another.

Light is a living spirit. The most sublime lesson that the sun gives us is his love for all creatures.

Nobody is born or dies at any time

Nobody is born or dies at any time: It is the mind that conceives its birth and death and its migration to other bodies and other worlds.

Yoga Vasishta

*

Know that the body is like a garment. Go, seek the wearer of the garment...

You are such that without the material body you have a spiritual body:

Do not, then, dread the going forth of the soul from the body.

Jalaluddin Rumi

*

As fire assumes the forms of burning objects, so hath the all-pervading Lord assumed the forms of beings and things.

Srimad Bhagavatam

*

The Self existed before the birth of this body and will remain after the death of this body. So it is with the series of bodies taken up in succession.

The Self is immortal. The phenomena are changeful and appear mortal. The fear of death is of the body.

Ramana Maharshi

*

There is no coming and going.

For what is coming but going?

Avoid Dwelling its Very Destructive..........

Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat. ~Henry Emerson Fosdick

Some people believe that in order to process an event or a frustration that they have to talk about it. There is a fine line between catharsis and dwelling on the negative though. If you find yourself frequently retelling the same negative story over and over again, you are not getting it out of your system; you are culturing it and allowing the negativity to fester. Even retelling it once may be allowing it to fester. This does nothing to fix the problem and it brings you down.

Don’t allow external events to bring you down. No one has the power to hurt you emotionally, no matter what they do, unless you let them. Dwelling on unfortunate events or people only hurts you, and it does nothing to them.

If you find yourself returning to thoughts that don’t make you feel good, set them aside and focus on more positive thoughts. It may help you to listen to a song that you find uplifting, watching a happy movie or reading something positive.

This is not to say that grieving isn’t ever appropriate. Grieving is always appropriate under certain circumstances. The problem arises when that fear or pain overrides your ability to function in the long-term. It was a difficult road for me, but after a lot of emotional turmoil, I realized that it’s a mental thing and entirely within my ability to control. I don’t have to allow the things that happen to me to control how I feel, and neither does anyone else. If you are dwelling on things that don’t make you feel good, you are allowing those external influences to destroy your peace. If you want peace, you have to impose it in spite of those things. It may take practice, but you can do it.
