We need both strength of body and mind

We need both strength of body and mind

Just as we need good physical health we also need strength of mind to ensure our well-being; and we develop it by cultivating ethics.

In this modern age when so many of us are off to the gym to try to find a well maintained body we forget that we also need to look to the inside as well.

A well toned mind is as important as a well toned body although we may not be able to see a strong mind is a very important part of our…

All good qualities must be sown and cultivated

All good qualities must be sown and cultivated

All good qualities must be sown and cultivated. We can’t expect to change overnight from an ordinary person into one with high realizations.

As with all things in life we have to work hard to achieve our greatest goals and this is the same with the good inside us.

We are all born pure and good but it is the way of the world that we live in these things are diluted as we age.

In order to maintain the good within us we…

Non violence is not a sign of weakness

Non violence is not a sign of weakness

Non violence is not a sign of weakness, but rather one of self-confidence and courage.

We must not see those who seek the path of peace as weak people if fact they show great strength and courage to take this path.

Violence in no matter what form be it on and individual or on a community or even on another nation is a gut reaction taken by those who fail to see or look for another way to solve a problem.

The followers of…

Develop a sense of universal responsibility.

Develop a sense of universal responsibility.

As individuals and nations become increasingly interdependent, we have no choice but to develop a sense of universal responsibility.

We are all interdependent on others in some way or another no one person or nation or faith is truly independent from those around them.

These means that our actions are not only going to effect our selves but they will also affect others as well.

Like water the smallest ripple can lead to…

How we can make the world a better place

How we can make the world a better place

If we are optimistic, take a longer view, and we employ realistic methods, we can contribute to making the world a better place

The aim of every one with a true heart is to try to make our world a better place for all.

It is important that we have a optimistic look on life after all if we do not believe that we can make a difference how can we expect others to listen to what we have to say.

Nothing worth while happens in a…

Concerned for the welfare of others

Concerned for the welfare of others

If you become more concerned for the welfare of others, you will experience a sense of calm, inner strength and self-confidence.

Here I think that we can all learn that to have a concern for others welfare shows that we have already connected with them in a way.

To know that we have identified that others need our help and that we are seeking in what ever way we can to offer that help does give us a inner calm.

From this we can…

A more compassionate attitude helps you communicate

A more compassionate attitude helps you communicate

Having a more compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings

These words ring so very true for if we listen to people with a compassionate ear without pre judging them we will hear their words much clearer.

Talk to others with compassion in your heart for them and what you have to say and you will find that they will listen to you in the same way.

Combine…

Unbiased love is undoubtedly difficult to generate

Unbiased love is undoubtedly difficult to generate

Unbiased love is undoubtedly difficult to generate, but if you practice with determination, day by day your attitude will be transformed.

Unbiased love is maybe the hardest form on love to find

We all offer love to others in many different ways but they all have a small form of bias in them.

Be it love for a child a parent a partner all these are true and good forms of love but have a small amount…

An inflated sense of self-importance

An inflated sense of self-importance

An inflated sense of self-importance deflects us from the inner peace and happiness we seek and affects those around us negatively.

The Netjar in their many forms have shown us that  a inflated sense of self importance will bring us nothing but sorrow in our lives

The road to happiness and inner peace is through how we help and promote the causes of others to bring harmony to our world

Never to seek self…
