August, 1942. Piotrkow, Poland. The sky was gloomy that morning as we waited anxiously. All the men, women, and children of Piotrkow’s Jewish ghetto had been herded into a square. Word had gotten around that we were being moved. My father had only recently died from typhus, which had run rampant through the crowded ghetto. My greatest fear was that our family would be separated. “Whatever you do,” Isidore, my eldest brother, whispered to me, “don’t tell them your age. Say you’re sixteen.” I w...

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his three-year-old Daughter for wasting a role of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he was furious when the child tried to decorated a box. Nevertheless the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "THIS IS FOR YOU DADDY". He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He yelled at her, don't you know when you give someone a present, there is... read more

by J. Donald Walters A classic book by Arthur M. Abell, Talks with Great Composers, published in 1955 by Philosophical Library, reports fascinating conversations Abell had with a number of nineteenth-century composers on the question of how they got their inspirations. Johannes Brahms stated that he received his inspirations, always in a prayerful state. During those times of inner upliftment, he said, he felt himself to be in commun... read more

I have noticed in so much conversation even when there is agreement there is a lack of appreciation. It seems to me that appreciation is the mark of a refined soul. Someone who can give others space to be himself and appreciate not only his right to that space but appreciate where he is coming from. Appreciate his particular slang tone on things. Appreciat... read more

from Inner Culture Magazine, December 1934 For twenty centuries the birth of Christ has been celebrated differently by the different Christian sects. Many have counted the coming of Christmas as a time for exchanging nicely caparisoned, costly gifts. Many children look upon Christmas as the time for Santa Claus to give them new toys. They hang empty stockings around the chimney place. Santa is supposed to slip down the sooty opening of the chimney and fill the stoc... read more

If you can give to somebody the gift of loyalty to your inner truth You will contribute to dissolve our veil of ignorance. I bow to LIFE because She allows man with an open heart to be crossed by a ray of light. I bow to LIFE that strenuously heals our ignorance, our roughness toward LIFE itself.
21) AVOID WISHFUL THINKING. TRY TO HARMONIZE YOURSELF WITH WHATEVER IS.

A study of the lives of successful men and women suggests two characteristics that are common to all of them: 1) an abundance of energy, particularly for those activities in which they achieved their success; and 2) a greater-than-usual degree of awareness. These characteristics are as common to success in business as in politics, in sports as in entertainment, in the sciences as in the arts. A deficiency of both, by contrast, is the single most common feature among pe... read more

Some Navajo children once taught a school teacher a valuable lesson in human relations. During his first week at their school, the teacher asked one of his Navajo students to answer a simple question. The young boy couldn’t answer correctly, so the teacher asked if anyone else knew the answer. The other Navajo children, however, stared straight ahead and wouldn’t respond.

Now here it is opening this book: Though the artist knows, his only way of showing his knowledge is by doing it. That is the meaning of faith: a sure intuition, an inner, complete certainty which no amount of reasoning could either support or demolish.
Related by Krishna in the Bagavad Gita Kindness is one of the 26 qualities that ennoble the mind spiritually.

I find This explanation by Kryananda particularly resonant: Kindness to all is not compassion, as some people translate the Sanskrit word "daya". It would be a distortion or genuine feeling to feel compassionate toward someone who had treated you unkindly, for it would imply condescension, as though you were looking down on him from above. In kindness there is no pride: In compa... read more
Often, on the pathway to wisdom, people get sidetracked by desire for powers and phenomena. They go to spiritualistic séances. They go to "miracle workers". They spread world (expecially in India) of every "saint" they meet whom they've seen perform wonders. Vicarious power over matter, or the desire to achieve power personally, may catch them for incarnations in a net of delusion.

(...) Divine Mother gives us not only pleasant things, but She reminds us clearly that the world is not perfect, it will never give us everything we need. It is a mix of sand and sugar in the same proportions. This is the very simple law of Maya. (...) We should be grateful for both. If there were no shadows, at least here, in the realm of relativity, light would be less beautiful. Therefore this Year for Thanks Giving Day we thank Divine Mother not for Her gifts, but for that love that gives...

My Guru told a (probably mythical) story about a village in India in which three people died unaccountably of some disease. Concerned, the villagers repaired in a group to a solitary sadhu (holy man) who lived outside the village, and asked him to intercede. The sadhu meditated, and saw that the disease had been caused by a demon. He summoned the demon an told him, “this village is under my protection. Leave it alone.” The demon promised to obey.

The following questions somehow got put to my mind last night in a dream. I’d been given certain insights in the dream, and realized after I’d thought about them for a time after waking that I’d never get back to sleep as long as these thoughts lingered in my mind. The other side of whether to get up or go back and get my normal hours of sleep was that even if I did manage to go back to sleep, upon waking I would probably have forgotten just what that inspiration had been. Were t... read more

“Master,” said one of the disciples who was sitting with him on a ledge high above the plains, “something has always puzzled me. Why is Self-realization so slow in coming? If God is the nearest of the near and the dearest of the dear, why does it take so long to find Him?” The Master smiled quietly. “You are a sincere disciple, and this is a very deep question. Sit and relax, still your heart and mind, and listen. The quick answer is that you must release all identif... read more
Divine experiences are outside of time and space. Seemingly distant, at least in time, their truth is ever present beneath the surface restlessness of life. Paramhansa Yogananda used to say that time is like a motion picture film. It can be turned backward or forward at will by the projectionist, whose sense of time is unrelated to the episodes on the film. This simile is inexact, of course; similes always are. For if we think of God as the projectionist, time doesn’t pass for Him as the film...

Think white. When we think white as a blend of all the colours, you look at the snow scene, if somebody wanted to paint a snow scene with nothing but white it wouldn’t look real, it wouldn’t be real. The white of the snow reflects this: the trees, the sky, the clouds, many colours are contained in that white and so also in purity, so also in true innocence, so al... read more
