GEM 847

If men convert their desire for material objects into the desire for supreme, they will enjoy immense happiness.

Be Happy - 34

 

Simple Life

Animal Nature

Man has to rise above the animal nature.  He has to express his divine potencies.  For this, man has to acquire Atmic knowledge (knowledge of the Self).  Atma is the all-pervading Universal Consciousness.  It is immanent in everyone.  Only as long as this consciousness is present in the human body, it is called 'Sivam'.  Once the consciousness leaves the body, it becomes 'Savam', a corpse.

(Sanathana Sarathi, August 1995, pg 220)

OBSTACLES

We who lived in the concentration camps

can remember the men
who walked through the huts
comforting others,
giving away
their last piece of bread.
They may have been few in number,
but they offer sufficient proof
that everything can be taken
from a man
but one thing :
The last of his freedoms -
to choose one's attitude in
any given set of circumstances,
to choose one's own way.

GEM 846

Incarnation is for the task of fostering dharma, for demarcating and directing it and to show to mankind the true path of desireless activity.
