AGELESS

"I give thanks for life and for the opportunity to become all that I can be!"

Regardless of my age, each day is an opportunity to be reborn to a life of happiness and love and to celebrate my growing awareness of truth.

Happy birthday to a new me! I do not have to wait for my actual birth date to celebrate life. My life is so full of blessings that every day I give thanks to God :

"God, thank You for divine life, which energizes me and restores me to wholeness as it moves through my entire body.

"Thank You for divine light, which shines on me and through me to those I care for. Your light shows me the way.

"Thank You for unlimited blessings in my life, order in my affairs, and peace in my heart. Thank You, God, for the opportunity to become all that I am capable of being!"

"You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,

for he will be great in the sight of the Lord."

- Luke 1:14-15

Q547

Where are the Ganas?  What is their form?



Jnanendriyas and Karmendriyas (five organs of perception and five organs of action) are the Ganas.  The mind is the master over these ten organs.  Buddhi (intellect) is the discriminating faculty above the mind.  The ten senses, the mind and the intellect together constitute the Ganas.

GEM 863

Kama (desire) is not a vice, for it is given the status of one of the goals of human endeavour (purushartha); develop desire, but not for the material, the momentary.  Desire for the deathless, the indestructible.

What Am I For?

Life is a mirage; it comes from no visible rain; it falls into no recognizable sea.  There was a man once who was pestered by a host of relatives when he was dying.  Parents, wife, children, brothers, sisters... all surrounded his bed during his last moments and wailed.  They asked him, "What is to happen to us?"  The dying man lifted his head from the pillow and asked in return, "What is to happen to me?  I am now more interested in that problem, than being worried about what is to happen to you."  Well, it is better every one asks that question even now and equips himself with the answer rather than wait until it is too late.  "What am I for?" "What ought I to do?"  These questions you must pursue and arrive at the answers.

My Prayer

A whispered prayer every morning

to the Lord who resides in my heart...

"Swami...

Thank you for Your Blessings...

May my thoughts be righteous,

May my words be purposeful, and

May my deeds be beneficial to all.

Om Sai Ram..."

AN EYE

It is as though you have an eye
That sees all forms
But does not see itself.
This is how your mind is.
Its light penetrates everywhere
And engulfs everything,
So why does it not know itself?
