Don't Blame Others (A Short Conversation)

The mind: “nothing is wrong with you, it’s others fault”

The buddhi:  “huh! Stop doing that”

The mind: “ I make myself comfortable for whatever happens you know”

The buddhi : “you know, whenever you point others with your fore finger, your other three fingers point back to you.  You know what does it mean? It means you must contemplate for whatever happens. Not just simply blaming for others. “

“remember the video by Bapak Anand Krishna kind of talking about this”

Have you meditated today?

Such question might as simple as have you prayed today?

Perhaps, but may be the first question is rarely been heard of since we haven’t got accustomed to meditation. Yes, but one thing for sure, meditation as a Wise Man says that it is not a silent sitting for several hours or more.

Meditation should be a way of life. Means that we can meditate while walking, eating, even when we are working. Great idea, don’t you think so?

Conversation in me

Trying to find sort of wise words or enlightening words. Why is that?

I do not know. But this morning when I was taking a bath there was a thought crossed my mind. Suddenly I thought about death. While rubbing my body with soap, I thought about it.

I said to myself; “When the soul leave the body, so there wil only be the body without breath. That is what we call someone die”

When I die, will I realize it?

When I die, will my soul easy to leave the body I mean no attachment. No sadness or something unnecessary?

Self-Empowerment to face life

Everything is energy, that is what I read from books written by Anand Krishna, a productive Indonesian writer which is also a spiritual activist. He also said that in one or more talkshow or discussion. Einstein also spoke the same that we live in a pool of energy. Of course we are also consist of energy.

Be Poor and Rich in The Eyes Of God...

Translated from an article written by Marhento Wintolo

Be poor in the eyes of God, then you will have His wealth. This sentence is easily spoken, but how many

of us who are only speak it without any understanding?  No Action Talk Only. Poor in wealth? Who is able to? Look at the majority of us being slaves of wealth? Only few of us who reliaze the purpose of  our life. They think that spiritual journey is able to be separated from daily life such as business, funny, isn't it? How can one do that?

The beauty outside occurres because of the beauty from within ... Beautify your heart, so everything will be beautiful ........

Translated from an article written by Marhento Wintolo

Mulla Nasrudin lately often seen his wife grumble and cursing their neighbors which she said do not wash the white clothes very clean. Mulla Nasrudin keeps quiet, observes and listens carefully. The next morning when she woke up, she smiled and praised her neighbors that the laundry is clean. Maybe because they use whitening. She said to her husband, that the neighbors might hear her grumble, so they washed the clothes clean and bright. With a smile Mulla Nasrudin said, "Yesterday I cleaned the mirror. There is no connection between your grumble and their clean washing". Actually the mirror is dirty so you think that their laundry is dirty.

Siksastaka

is a Gaudiya Vaishnava Hindu prayer of eight verses composed in the Sanskrit language. They are believed to be the only verses left personally written by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, with the majority of his philosophy being codyfied by his primary disciples, known as the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan. The Siksastaka is quoted within the Chaitanya Charitamrita, Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami's biography of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, written in Bengali script. The name of the prayer comes from the Sanskrit roots Śikṣa meaning 'instruction', and aṣṭaka meaning 'eight'. The teachings contained within the eight verses are believed to contain the essence of all teachings on Bhakti yoga within the Gaudiya tradition.

Wisdom from Shatya Sai Baba

Sai Baba has passed away but his love and his wisdoms will always remain with us wherever we are and whenever it wil be. Reading wisdoms help us to remember about him more. That's why I try to re-write some wise words of him and put it here for all of us. May Peace be Upon him....
Thank you Baba for all your blessing and love.
