it’s true

 We have to think about it a bit, but if we do we and look carefully and deeply – we will find the truth- and that is that;   Everything we see(fault) in others we have inside our selves. It’s only when we are clear of the inner blemish that we will not find it in another.


coming home

November 13th, 2008 by Locke in Daily Life, Spiritual Journey

  I once heard a story of a dog

  that was taken to a place

  hundreds of miles

  from its home.

 

  Somehow,it found

  its way back to 

  the very house it lived in.

 

  No compass,no map,no guide

  How amazing.

 

  In my journey,

  I seem to be coming

  closer to my home.

 

  It’s still quite

  a ways,though.

 

  Will I make it

  before winter?

 

 I certainly hope so.

 

 


being separate

Separate that from yourself which separates you from others; then you will become like God who treats all equally.

beyond

November 11th, 2008 by Locke in Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Daily Life, service, Spiritual Journey

What one acquires here- the honey – and the house he builds here, the service he does here, the wealth of God’s grace he receives here and everything he earns here – he will receive there. If he builds hell here, he will receive hell there. If he does good here he will receive good there.If he does evil here he will receive evil there.  If one uses his good qualities to do service for the people in the world then the same good qualities will become the subtle beings which will serve him in the hereafter.
