Tears are words the heart can’t express

“A bird seeing the tree in which it built its nest being cut down abandons it, O Uddhava.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Losing doesn’t eat at me the way it used to. I just get ready for the next play, the next game, the next season.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is better to perform one’s own duties imperfectly than to master the duties of another. By fulfilling the obligations he is born with, a person never comes to grief.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your powerful radiance is burning the entire universe, and filling it with splendor, O Krishna.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O Krishna, I have heard from You in detail about the origin and dissolution of beings, and Your imperishable glory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arjun chose Krishna, though Krishna had vowed to lay down his arms on the battlefield … … Krishna asked: “Why did you pick me, knowing I would not fight?” “I can handle the soldiers myself, O Krishna, if I have your presence to give me moral support. Some of your glory will surely rub off on me.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering, like the flame of a lamp in a windless place
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best way to waste your life, … is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for the details. Report. Don’t participate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strive to still your thoughts. Make your mind one-pointed in meditation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surrender to truth is the essence of beauty, and Krishna’s words here are beautiful even in translation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because there is a larger awareness that transcends time and space, an awareness is available after death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thus I heard this wonderful dialogue between Lord Krishna and Mahatma Arjuna, causing my hair to stand on end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why shouldn’t we, who clearly see evil in the destruction of the family, think about turning away from this sin, O Krishna?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And when immorality prevails, O Krishna, the women of the family become corrupted; when women are corrupted, social problems arise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I desire neither victory nor pleasure nor kingdom, O Krishna. What is the use of the kingdom, or enjoyment, or even life, O Krishna?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He alone sees truly who sees the Lord the same in every creature…seeing the same Lord everywhere, he does not harm himself or others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The greatest contentment comes from devotion alone and not from it’s rewards, therefore one who has this devotion seeks nothing else.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character…Would you slow down? Or speed up?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arjuna saw the entire universe, divided in many ways, but standing as [all in] One [and One in all] in the body of Krishna, the God of gods.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not wish to kill them, who are also about to kill, even for the sovereignty of the three worlds, let alone for this earthly kingdom, O Krishna.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one should abandon duties because he sees defects in them. Every action, every activity, is surrounded by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort toward spiritual awareness will protect you from the greatest fear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a person is devoted to something with complete faith, I unify his faith in that. Then, when his faith his completely unified, he gains the object of his devotion

Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wherever is Krishna, the lord of yoga; and whereve The Great Head Gudie r is Arjuna, the archer; there will be everlasting prosperity, victory, happiness, and morality. This is my conviction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of us are pleasure-seeking creatures. So you can say that directly or indirectly we are all seeking Krishna. Chanting Hare Krishna is a way of seeking Krishna directly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strive constantly to serve the welfare of the world; by devotion to selfless work one attains the supreme goal of life. Do your work with the welfare of others always in mind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“One trembles with fear at the realization that the days and nights of one’s life are being cut down. The wise seeing this give up attachment to the body – just as the bird.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing Your great effulgent and various-colored form touching the sky; Your mouth wide open and large shining eyes; I am frightened and find neither peace nor courage, O Krishna.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another. Nothing is ever lost in following one’s own dharma. But competition in another’s dharma breeds fear and insecurity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krishna consciousness is not something imposed on the mind. On the contrary, it’s already inside of each of us, waiting to come out, like fire in a match. Chanting Hare Krishna brings out that natural, pure state of mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krishna and His energy are fully present in the sound of the mantra, so even if we don’t know the language or intellectually understand how it works, by coming in touch with Krishna we’ll become happy, and our life will become sublime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krishna is a name of the Supreme. It means “all- attractive.” Anything that might attract you has its source in the Supreme. Therefore the Supreme is also known as Rama (rhymes with “drama”). “Rama” means “the highest eternal pleasure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O Krishna, the stillness of divine union which you describe is beyond my comprehension. How can the mind, which is so restless, attain lasting peace? Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent, powerful, violent; trying to control it is like trying to tame the wind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In spite of the declarations, you will notice in the career of the same Krishna that He underwent defeat in His efforts or endeavors, on a few occasions you must have also noted that those defeats too, were part of the drama, which He had planned, and He Himself directed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reshape yourself through the power of your will… Those who have conquered themselves…live in peace, alike in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, praise and blame…To such people a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same…Because they are impartial, they rise to great heights.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As long as you have attachment to the body and attachment to objects, fear and suffering will be with you. Therefore, Krishna told Arjuna to develop his discrimination and rid himself of body consciousness. He told him that once he was free of body consciousness he would be able to develop integral vision.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think the beautiful thing about lovingness is the performance of an act dedicated to the Self in all creatures. Once it is realized that there is a refuge in bhakti, it is easy to abandon attachment to outcomes or the body. What appears to the ego to be a sacrifice is in fact a gift of great value to the Self.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As for the word “Hare” (pronounced huh-ray), it’s a call to Krishna’s divine energy. Just as the sun shines forth to us through its energies like heat and light, the Supreme reveals Himself through His multitude of energies. If the Supreme is the source of everything, then whatever we see–and even what we don’t see– belongs to the energy of the Supreme.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serve…Learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice and pride. Then, you will achieve your destiny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The demonic do things they should avoid and avoid the things they should do… Hypocritical, proud, and arrogant, living in delusion and clinging to their deluded ideas, insatiable in their desires, they pursue unclean ends… Bound on all sides by scheming and anxiety, driven by anger and greed, they amass by any means they can a hoard of money for the satisfaction of their cravings… Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others

Your heart is my piñata.

To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you only do what you know you can do- you never do very much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am the wind among the purifiers, and Lord Rama among the warriors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Immortal had come in the form of Rama to show the way to Immortality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every one’s voice was given equal weight in the empire ruled over by Rama.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel were, Maaz, and Jamin, and Eker.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If people are truly, madly, deeply in love with each other, they will find a way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can’t just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHEN Rama is installed in the heart, every thing will be added unto you – fame, fortune, freedom, fullness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Losing doesn’t eat at me the way it used to. I just get ready for the next play, the next game, the next season.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the sons of Jerahmeel the firstborn of Hezron were, Ram the firstborn, and Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rama for you should mean the Path He trod, the ideal He held aloft, and the Ordinance He laid down. They are eternal and timeless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character…Would you slow down? Or speed up?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not enough, nor is it essential that you should repeat the name of Rama loudly; respect it in the fullness of love and admiration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, / In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
