1. The Wider our Compassion the More Satisfaction

    May 31, 2013
    Compassion is the greatest need in the world. Most of us limit our compassion to some only, but there is more satisfaction the wider we express our compassion. Ultimate fulfillment is to feel love for, and the love of God. The mirror of our mind is covered with dust (selfish desires) and we cannot see the love. Spirituality means to cleanse the mind to awaken the original qualities of you and me. It is not a matter of being this or that religion. Its a process of cleaning the mind...

  2. On the Search for Pleasure

    May 20, 2013
    We learn from the great souls what is truly of value in life.  We will really understand what the treasure of life is by following in the footsteps of great souls. What is the fulfillment and aspirations of the soul? By hearing from great souls like Prahlad we will find out material desires go deep into the heart due to conditioning since time immemorial.

Because when you offer your work to the Supreme Lord with love it is no longer in the realm of material existence.  Just like gravity, the law is only in affect within the atmosphere of the...

  5. On Positive Attitude

    April 28, 2013
    When we associate with people who are positive and when we choose to engage in a positive perspective with positive activities, then we recondition ourselves in that way. The special virtue of human life is we always have a freedom of choice. You may not be able to control the environment but you do have full control of how you are going to respond and react to the environment. If you are on a boat, you may not have control over which way the wind blows but you do have...
