When you point
your finger
at someone
The other three
point back
at you
We never think of this
In our
Judgements.
The kind man
doesn’t judge
others.
He tries to understand
and help.
All the energy that
goes into blame,
Could go into love.
Kindness is our true
nature -the taproot
Of our lives.
From which comes
the shade, flowers ,and fruit
Of the tree
There is sweetness in fruit. There is fragrance in flowers. There are trees within seeds. There is taste within water. There are glitters in the earth. There is a shine in gold. Is this not so? There is a treasury of grace and God’s qualities within us. If we can act with these qualities we will attain a life of freedom and peace.
M.R.Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
No one has seen satan. Each evil quality is a satan: jealousy, backbiting, wrath, revenge, anger, self- importance, haste ,vengeance, deceit, treachery, falsehood, theft, arrogance, karma, maya, hatred, miserliness, greed, fanaticism, envy, intoxicants, lust, murder. It is such qualities that are satan.
M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
If you try to analyze what others do,if you have suspicions or deceit in your mind,or any ideas about others, if you mind the business of others, your own affairs will all be ruined And what will you have grown within yourself? Your analysis of yourself will not have deepened. It is your analysis of others that will have grown.That is wrong.It will consume the truth and devour your wisdom.It will consume our own growth.This is not good. These actions should never exist within us.
Each person must do his own service. Each person must do his own duty.Each person must have only good thoughts, good qualities, good conduct,good manners,and good behaviour,God’s actions and God’s qualities – this is your wealth. God’s qualities are your angels.They are the qualities that will serve you. God’s actions must be put into practice. God’s love must be our love. This is what heaven is.
