Devotion to your Lord and Master.

Image
Each of us do not exist simply to wander around this planet. There is a definite purpose as to why we have situated ourselves in places that is appropriate for our growth ~ particularly physical and spiritual development. .. We all grew up with moral understanding of religious practices and disciplines as well as the presence of Great Teachers to whom we felt connected with. That very Teacher is the personification of the Great One Who is ever present within us all. .. However, having found out that A Teacher does exist whom we believe to be in-existence in bodily form as well as in spiritual form - we are confident and faithful that He does exist not just long ago but as well at this very present time. Having the knowledge of HIM is one thing we feel more blessed. It is the assurance and hopes that during our existence all shall be well and one will receive guidance all life through. When this is clear, the follower must and should learn to appreciate the way of the holy ones...it i...

When The Teacher comes...

Image
How would you react when the Great Teacher is standing by your side and is smiling at you? Would that one visit seems to be like eternity? Is His presence would help you transformed from being a sinner into a saint? Would it create a substantial impact to your life that you'll treasure it for the rest of your life? Remember, when a Teacher comes to you in whatever way ~ you have to understand that there's a great reason why it has to be so...For it is not a surprise visit, but rather an appointment. It was pre -set long before you knew it. You do not have to be informed of this special meeting because your physical mind cannot understand the whole thing, but your soul knows it is going to happen. Therefore, when The Great Teacher shows up in your presence...better be ready because your time has come!. Om Shanti !

The One Life...

Image
It is not an idea. It is not a thought. It is not about what we understand. It is about reality... There's but One Life ~ it is the absence of you and me. It is all about being part and member of this magnificent One Life... . The idea of self being different is an illusive element that hangs in your mind. Like a web that strangled in your consciousness. The very knowledge of having the " I " makes you feel alone...isolated...and lost. . It is not about division, boundaries, cultural differences, religious practices, way of life, customs, and education. It is about having a rational mind, intelligence, with common sense and wisdom. . One will not understand the true meaning of unity, peace, cooperation, kindness, understanding, tolerance and love until pride, illusion, the idea of "me, mine & self" disappear. It is not possible to appreciate others as part of oneself when all these veils blocks the perception. . It is more so...that one cannot survive in exi...

The Theosophic Life * by Annie Besant / 1909

THE THEOSOPHIC LIFE Annie Besant (Originally published in The Theosophist, March 1909). There are certain ways of looking at life that seem to grow naturally out of our theosophical studies; and I would fain inspire my readers with fresh energy and determination amid the trials of the moment to carry out in everyday life the doctrines we so continually study. For if Theosophy be not a science of life, if the Theosophist, by the Divine Wisdom that he studies, does not become wise for the helping of all around him, then his life is really worse than the ordinary life. For where the inspiration is greater, then not to rise is to fall lower than the ordinary man. There is a great truth in that parable where it is said that the man who did not use his talent was worthy of heaviest punishment, and he who knew and did not act should be beaten with many stripes, whereas those who did not know and did not act should only be beaten with a few. Now the Theosophist cannot pretend that he does not ...

Friendship should be our most treasured possession...

Image
Having hundreds or thousands of friends may be too overwhelming to consider, but let it become an important part of one's life. For friends were not a form of commodity that we picked and collect. These are people who similarly looking for people that they could connect with, be friend with, trust with, chat with, frequently communicate with and who knows someday when circumstances permit - they'll have the opportunity to meet each other in person. .. And since we are now operating globally - I feel sure that the kind of friendship we are currently building will create a huge impact in the reality of social networking. Again, friends should be our most treasured possessions at this point in time of our life. There hasn't been a time like this, and there's such a great feeling of wonders that we got all hooked up in a place where we could truly find the kind of people we wish to have. .. Friendship is something I believe to be valued more than anything else. Your world a...

Our precious life...

Image
Life is too short to be wasted..we all knew that! And while the world is under the heavy influence of materialism, corruption, sensualism, exploitation and manipulation - for sure, we can still win ourselves back from all these crazy stuff going on around us. .. It is about our very precious life, it is not just about our habits, activities and ambition. It is about what can be done, or what alternative we have to make sure that we can survive and extend our life span from all these chaotic influences affecting us today. .. It is not about who we are, our age group, or what level of society we belong. We are all in the same boat, in the same situation, in the same world. It is about you and me - us! .. Our life, if some of us may not have the knowledge and understanding of what is this life all about - I think this short notes will help a bit. .. This life is such a wonderful experience we should all have. This life is once in a lifetime opportunity for us to appreciate. If we can embr...

What it is to be a Man...

Ask any guy you knew and listen to what he is going to tell you..If you think he is a man, he can provide you an answer so distinct that you will never doubt him. A man knows exactly who he is, what kind of person he is, he know his character, behaviour, attitude, his strenght , and weaknesses. He is single minded, not confused, not erratic, no dilemma , no phobias, fearless, straight, focused, balance and working hard to refine himself. .. Does the above definition pertains too serious of a man? It should be!A man can only be called a man when he has no doubt about himself, that he can present himself just the way it should be. He got no twisted tongue, not pickle minded, he knows where he stand, he never compromise, it is always yes or no. He is as reliable as he can be, will do things not because he needed attention, but because its needed. He has faith in himself and to his creator, and does not pretend to be otherwise. .. Real man, never boast, never wanted too much attention, not...

When Love comes...

Image
It will be the most wonderful experience that we could ever have...When it rule our life, our ways, our heart and mind it becomes the solution to everything that we've ever wanted in life. There's nothing else we will ever dreamed of...for it answers all! .. Love is something more than words can express, it is the core of every smiles in our face. The shinning light in our eyes. It understand every little things that we've taken for granted. It forgives and forget. It is there when we needed it, and it will be the first to save us from despair and frustration. .. It is the true love in motion....and it never abandon, nor leave you behind alone...it shall stay with you as long as you live...it is your strenght....it is your will and determination to rise up and move on forward to your destination...it is the lamp unto your feet that you may not be lost in the wilderness...it is the water of life...the breath of every moment...and the guiding star at night...and the great sun...

When the picture is not the real you...

Image
I believe that what pictures we place in our profile sometimes do not really match the characteristic of the true person we are trying to project. Many times, external appearance becomes the basis of an identity. The looks and make-ups somewhat turn to be an instrument that appeal to the public. .. But images in my own opinion is truly a very insufficient proof of our true nature. The photogenic, the killer smile, the tantalizing eyes and the gorgeousness is fairly the 1/4 of what is really true. .. I say this because - it is important that we come to realize that we are more than just the picture. Images is not really " us ". It is simply the skin and it is always subjected to sickness, diseases, old age, pressure, stress and lots of other stuff as well. .. The picture can only become the REAL YOU when the inner person engage in two way communication and prove his/herself to have a true character, and is more than willing to expose what kind of person he/she is...whenever si...

What is Womanhood?

Image
Mind me to give some insight about Womanhood. I know that some women out there could be in a better position to speak about this subject, but because I really do care about women - perhaps, it would be a good gesture from a gentleman to give his own perspective of womanhood. .. Personally, there's truly something mystical about each and every woman in the world. The unique- ness , and the unusual characteristic women carries with them is phenomenal. But womanhood is still far too high to be realize. Womanhood, is a state of being where no ordinary women has been there yet. It is like a stature that is attained or achieve by a woman who worked so hard to become what she really is...some sort of " Self- Realized Woman ". .. Her character has been refined throughout the years of hard work. She carries along with her a trade mark of humility, compassion, dignity, integrity and a personification of simplicity, charm, inner beauty and intelligence. She knows herself fully well...

Friendship & Facebook...

Each of us has its own interpretation of the real meaning of friendship. Some of us may have had a very good relationship with lots of people in various form and degree, some probably been able to distinguish between having the real one and the unreal ones. .. Friendship, if I may have this opportunity to provide some light as I am more than willing to share it openly because I feel more inclined to do so, since facebook has become a wonderful venue in meeting people of different background and ethnics. I feel sure that we'll be able to find some excellent insight on how to look at the value of the word " friendship". .. I believe that some of us, most of us, or the very few among us are more than willing to really have a kind of friendship that is ' for real ' and one that could be considered as ' working friendship '. Something that is true, reliable and two way. We will all agree that we didn't come to join facebook simply to collect numbers or have...

Whenever We Pray...

Image
Prayer is a moment dedicated for the communion of our soul and spirit. A time where we bring ourselves in the presence of the Divine which is within us. It is a solemn act and a sacred rituals to those who practice praying and contemplation. Unknown to us, each time we hold, stop and attune ourselves to the highest within us. A mighty being of light always arrive and blend with us in this sacred hour. That great being remains with us during that period and will listen to every petitions and prayers coming from our heart and mind. It is therefore understood that to every prayers there's a definite resolution and an answer will be provided accordingly and wisely. Heaven always ensure that those who are sincere and devoted to their highest ideals will receive their rewards and acknowledgement appropriately in due course of time. For every prayers will be answered deliberately...and those answers will either be Yes or No! Heaven knows exactly that we only received what is due to us a...

Where is the Love?

Image
This is not a new sight, it is one of the million picture of our little brother and sister who are living in the street. They're orphans and have not known what it is to be in a place we call home. The street is their home day and night. People come and go. Everyone see these kids everyday and it seems like no one has ever or even dare to stop and share some foods or anything? This is our society, our nation, and our world and yet this is what we have around us. We live and have all the things we've ever wanted in life and here we are witnessing one of the most devastating picture of our humanity. Will they still be around the next day or two? I think, they will be. But will they still be around next month? I am not sure.....all I know is that they already passed-away in the same place due to hunger and dehydration.... Now, where is the love? who really care? are we missing something in here? maybe! There are still millions of these street children everywhere and we never reall...
