With charity for all,
Wth firmness in the right,
Let us strive on
To finish the work we are in,
To...achieve and cherish
A just and lasting PEACE..."

ORO VERDE, by Sadhu Govardhan

My Posts

by Sadhu Govardhan

SYNOPSIS:
Gold or money has become the standard benchmark of success in our society. Ironically, the pursuit of this type of temporary wealth has often led to exploitation of humans, animals, plants and natural resources in general. ORO VERDE explains how the mentality behind this value system has caused a global crisis that is much deeper than most of us are aware of. ORO VERDE takes you on a journey of consciousness that is required to achieve an environmentally sound way of life. The key to this understanding is the fact that real and permanent wealth is already surrounding us: nature in its pure and ethically cultivated state. This wealth is our birth right, and to neglect this wealth inevitable leads to a state of poverty that money can not change.

ORO VERDE exposes the dangers of the direction that the food industry currently takes: complete monopoly and invasive manipulation of our foods. It also shows how our agriculture is operating in ways that weigh heavily on our environment and health. This enormous weight is constantly increasing as natural resources decline while our needs continue to grow. ORO VERDE explains why this issue needs to be brought to each and everyone’s attention. It also demonstrates how all of us – even those living in large cities - can get involved in producing a wealth of food crops that will benefit our lives in a profound and fulfilling way.

ORO VERDE is a powerful manifesto that challenges wrong educational, political and social policies, and offers practical solutions. It is a book of hope and transformation, and you are invited to take part in this refreshing alternative.

by Hafiz (translation by Daniel Ladinsky)

we have not come here to take prisoners,
but to surrender ever more deeply
to freedom and joy.

we have not come into this exquisite world
to hold ourselves hostage from love.

run my dear,
from anything
that may not strengthen
your precious budding wings.

run like hell my dear,
from anyone likely
to put a sharp knife
into the sacred, tender vision
of your beautiful heart.

we have a duty to befriend
those aspects of obedience
that stand outside of our house
and shout to our reason
"o please, o please,
come out and play."

for we have not come here to take prisoners
or to confine our wondrous spirits,

but to experience ever and ever more deeply
our divine courage, freedom, and light!

A wise old owl sat in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

'Be the change you wish to see in the world.' - Gandhi

"The loss of conscience is probably not mourned by anyone who functions without it, but those who have lost the faculty to tell that it is wrong to harm others, or that deception is one form of harm, have been deprived of a humanizing feature and have suffered an impoverishment of their moral life." Evelin Sullivan

Asked what a man could gain by telling falsehoods, [Aristotle] reportedly replied, ‘Not to be credited when he speaks the truth.'"

"It is our earth, not yours or mine or his. We are meant to live on it, helping each other, not destroying each other". - J. Krishnamurti

***********
"Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throught the world. There in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stories of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul". -- Carl Jung
