Do It

Always listen to experts.
They'll tell you what can't be done and why.
Then do it.


Robert A. Heinlein

The Invisible Rules

Sometime I was unable to distinguish whether what I saw was tangible or not.

Nikola Tesla

No Problems

There are stories about people who have been struggling with life's problems for a very long time without resolution. Once they sat down in meditation and asked, "Who is struggling?" they realized that from the beginning there was never really any problem. In a true sense this is the only solution that helps us. Everything else is just a band-aid that gives us a false sense of liberation for a short while. How many times have we tried these temporary fixes and solutions? Are we exhausted yet? If everybody on the planet, including the politicians, businessmen, and religious leaders, started working toward this realization, then the world would immediately be a peaceful place. People would be much more generous and kinder toward each other.

When all the layers of false identity have been stripped off, there is no longer any version of that old self. What is left behind is pure consciousness. That is our original being. That is our true identity. Our true nature is indestructible. No matter whether we are sick or healthy, poor or wealthy, it always remains divine and perfect as it is. When we realize our true nature, our life is transformed in a way we could not have imagined before. We realize the very meaning of our life and it puts an end to all searching right there.

Go Get Her


You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

TIME FOR TEA

The first cup caresses my dry lips and throat.

The second shatters the walls of my lonely sadness.

The third searches the dry rivulets of my soul to find the stories of five thousand scrolls.

With the fourth the pain of life’s grievances evaporates through my pores.

The fifth relaxes my muscles and my bones become light.

With the sixth I find the path that leads to the immortal ancestors.

Oh the seventh! Better not take it!

If I had it the only feeling is the fresh wind blowing through my wings

As I make my way to Penglai.

Lu Tong, Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907)

LOVE

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir,
once given never forgotten,
never let it disappear
~

John Lennon
