If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever.

The Buddha said:  Shaving their hair and beards, they become Shramanas who accept the Dharmas of the Way.  They renounce worldly wealth and riches.  In receiving alms, they accept only what’s enough.  They take only one meal a day at noon,  pass the night beneath trees,  and are careful not to seek more than that.  Craving and desire are what cause people to be stupid and dull.

“You will become available to your true self by doing inner [meditation] practice.” - Swami Achyutanand Baba

Do not expect an immediate answer

There is a place of peace in the heart that looks out and sees the foolishness of the world but does not judge, criticize or condemn but compassionately accepts the unawakened behavior of others. This place is called Love. It is that which cannot be taught, only shown by example. It is not a lesson to give, it is a relationship with life. It is not a beating with a stick, but a caress with an open hand. It is the strongest force in the universe, but needs time to be understood. The one who encourages you to be afraid is not your friend. The one who shows the unity and interconnectedness of all things will not want something from you. When you are afraid you are already the victim. When you are loving, you are exactly where you want be. This sharing of love without conditions is the way of the heart.
