Channels for the Light

Posts Tagged ‘world’

I’m currently reading a great introduction to Hinduism titled The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Hinduism, 2nd Edition. I found a few great quotes while reading tonight that I thought were worth sharing:

This universe is the outpouring of the majesty of God, the auspicious one, radiant love. Every face you see belongs to him. He is present in everyone without exception. — Yajur Veda

Everything in the outside world changes constantly. But the Lord of Love in the inner world never changes. He rules both inner and the outer realities. Meditate on Him. Merge in Him. Wake up from the dream that you exist apart from Him. — Shvetashvatara Upanishad

God’s grace is like a strong wind that’s always blowing. All we have to do is raise our sails. — Ramakrishna Paramahansa

If you are interested in exploring and learning about Hinduism, I highly recommend this book:

Namaste!

This is a meditation I did this morning that really helped start the day out on a positive note.

Sit in a dark, quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Find a comfortable position so you can be relaxed. I used a couple of old pillows and propped myself up against the wall in my bedroom, but anywhere is fine.

Close your eyes, take several deep and relaxing breaths, and begin to imagine the Love of God filling your inner being. With each deep breath in, feel Love filling and infusing every fiber of your being. With every breath out, send that Love out into the world and envision it enveloping not just the world at large, but your family and your friends and everyone you care for. Love in… Love out… See yourself as a channel for the Light… A channel for Love…

And see if that doesn’t set the stage for a wonderful day ahead…

Namaste!

I found this a while back in a great newsletter I subscribe to called Kickstart, which is written by Martin Avis. Discovered it again while browsing through the accumulated stuff in my Documents folder, and thought it was well worth sharing. Hope you enjoy it. It is so true!!

No Limits

by Ralph Marston

There is no limit to the kindness you can offer.
There is no limit to the encouragement you can give.
There is no limit to the hope you can feel.
There is no limit to the amount of faith you can have.

There is no limit on how positive you can be.
There is no limit to the magnificence of what you can create with
your thoughts and actions.
There is no limit on the love you can give,
nor is there any limit on the love you can experience.

The things of true value and substance in life have no limits.
They are yours to experience in every moment,
in any circumstance,
no matter what others may say or do.

Some limits are imposed upon you by the world in which you live.
Other limits, you impose upon yourself.
Of the things that truly matter, however, there are no limits.
Experience them in abundance and let them fill your life with joy.
