Is it truly ignorance or is it innocence? If we knew any better, would we not have done better?

Respect went up a notch for a beloved friend recently. His honesty about his current reality which was a past fear arising once again. Although at the back of the mind already knowing that it is unreal, my reminder did not alter his groundedness. He told me, “G, I cannot lie to myself. Even I […]

“So learn from Me now, friend, as I briefly profile the qualities that make the loving yogi one with Me, Brahman, the Godhead. There is no higher achievement in life. “Cultivate a pure intellect. Free your mind and heart of delusion. Be self-restrained. Give up the ego. Subdue your senses through steady will. Abandon the […]
