Flower of the Day: 11/07/14
“Let
us continue spreading the perfume of peace, love and prosperity to all
corners of the world, inspiring all to sing the names of the Supreme. It
doesn’t matter in what language or what form of the Divine is revered
because we know that God is one. The Eternal manifests in different ways
according to the needs of each group of people. When we pay homage to
the different forms of the Supreme, we invoke the Supreme that lives in
each and every one of us.”
Sri Prem Baba

The Republicans had a good night on Tuesday, Daniel -- but believe me when I tell you that our results were better because you stepped up, talked to your family and friends, and cast your ballot.
I want you to remember that we're making progress. There are workers who have jobs today who didn't have them before. There are millions of families who have health insurance today who didn't have it before. There are kids going to college today who didn't have the opportunity to go to college before.
So don't get cynical, Daniel. Cynicism didn't put a man on the moon. Cynicism has never won a war, or cured a disease, or built a business, or fed a young mind. Cynicism is a choice. And hope will always be a better choice.
I have hope for the next few years, and I have hope for what we're going to accomplish together.
Thank you so much, Daniel.

“In
short, it is necessary to surrender to love. If love is the juice of
life, then love is leading us and giving us our commands. Love is
breaking our attachments and our control so that we can return back to
love itself. Love is awakening the love that pulsates inside of us. But
we must have a certain type of courage in order to love and
to surrender. Pray for this courage, call for it. Implore the universal
principle of love to give you the strength and firmness to
follow its commands.”

A True Path | November 8, 2014
I try to understand the teachings of the
Buddha, of enlightenment, and to put my understanding into practice.
It’s a slow path, rarely an easy path, but it is a true path.
- Pamela White, "A Slow, True Path"
