"If I understand what Gandhi is saying, nonviolence requires something far more difficult than merely turning the other cheek; it requires empathizing with the fears and other feelings that provide that impetus for people to attack us. Being aware of these feelings we have no desire to attack back because we can see the human ignorance leading others to attack us; instead, our goal becomes to provide the education for our attackers which will enable them to transcend their violence and engage in cooperative relationships with us." - Marshall Rosenberg

Beloved One, In the midst of this tragedy and the tragedies that occur all the time all over the world, in the midst of grief and shock, there is the space to gather together in peace and love and silence. All Love, Gangaji

Be still and know you are god The kingdom of heaven is within you.. as you Recognize this and be still The world comes and goes It could all end at any moment and ,all that is... would wake as if from a dream. Thy rod and staff is your own inner nature of silence lean on that, identify with that, know that and all will be as if you are in the eye of a storm. Know the ultimate truth...this world is maya..illusion Do not take it too seriously..play your part but stay awake to your true nature of silence.....Love thine enemy as thy self for truly they are....

We don't believe it, but we are blessed. We're very fortunate, because there is a divinity within each human being. I said "within" because the way human beings act, sometimes something in me fails to recognize them as the divine. But there is the divinity, there is a blessing - a profound blessing - in each one of you.
Maharaji

I discovered Yesterday that True Love is so beyond touch and sensual pleasure, that there is an intimacy that is much much deeper than any body sensation, much much deeper than any form of physical pleasure. In the experience of touching this intimacy there is an embrace with the whole Universe, an embrace with God , an embrace with the beloved that is so infinitely sweet that I cry tears of gratitude and Joy. This sweet embrace, this delicious Kiss of love is so infinitely impersonal and so deeply personal. When I look in and taste this nectar, I look out and see it everywhere in all form and beyond. When the heart opens and the vastness of love is let in, I am consumed by its unending, unchanging, everlasting peace. What a tremendous gift this shock of war in the world has evoked in my heart. To let in the full extent of the horror of mind , my own mind, to see that I am fully responsible for this on the outside and on the inside, - to really let this all the way in and to own it fully as my own mind has allowed an even greater commitment and willingness to stop everything and be still, to end the war and live in peace, to remove the shackles of slavery and be free. For this I owe the rest of this life.
In deepest love and Gratitude John

 

This is the role of knowledge: in knowledge, you smile and laugh at the event.
You grow out of the event with the power of knowledge. --

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope, We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss, We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss, We became one soul.
As we learn and grow from this, We become one planet. -
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heros, We become one people.
We are
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people
We are The Power of One.
We are United.
