PERSECUTION


A disciple was one day recalling how Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed were
branded as rebels and heretics by their contemporaries.

Said the Master, "Nobody can be said to have attained the pinnacle of Truth
until a thousand sincere people have denounced him for blasphemy."

Anthony de Mello, SJ

AT--ONE--MENT


When a man whose marriage was in trouble sought his advice, the Master
said, "You must learn to listen to your wife."

The man took this advice to heart and returned after a month to say that he
had learned to listen to every word his wife was saying.

Said the Master with a smile, "Now go home and listen to every word she
isn't saying."

Anthony de Mello, SJ



MORSEL:

A pair of good ears will drink dry a hundred tongues.

GREATNESS


"The trouble with the world," said the Master with a sigh, "is that human
beings refuse to grow up."

"When can a person be said to have grown up?" asked a disciple.

"On the day he does not need to be lied to about anything."

Anthony de Mello, SJ

ENLIGHTENMENT


The Master was an advocate both of learning and of Wisdom.

"Learning," he said when asked, "is gotten by reading books or listening to
lectures."

"And Wisdom?"

"By reading the book that is you."

He added as an afterthought: "Not an easy task at all, for every minute of
the day brings a new edition of the book!"

Anthony de Mello, SJ



MORSEL:

Your vision will become clear only when You can look into your

Ilie Cioara's The Silence of the Mind

I invite you to watch the 6 beautiful youtube videos as well as and other quotes
on the website http://thesilencebook.blogspot.com/

You can read a few quotes below
Lots of love
Namaste


    "In the whole Universe, there is nothing static, dead or frozen. Everything,
but absolutely everything, is in eternal movement. Even within the so-called
still nature reigns the same intrinsic law of movement.
      Movement and newness, in  perfect interconnecteness, affirm themselves as
uniqueness.
      In order to be able to encounter the newness of the aliveness in its
movement, we must come out and greet it the same way. Thus, we don't return to
the past, to what happened, nor we project ourselves into the future, in pursuit
of an imaginary purpose or ideal to fulfill.
      With a completely empty mind, we simply watch life as it unfolds. Nothing
comes between us and the movement of life, in the form of images, opinions etc.
Such a simple and direct meeting with the moment transcends us spontaneously
from the finite world into Infinity.
      And just as quickly, like lightning, we detach, in order to be free again,
and therefore completely available to encountering the next moment. Nothing is
anticipated and nothing is accumulated from the lived moment.
       The purity, innocence of the mind is our constant companion, as each
moment becomes an opportunity of creative "being". Through this way of "being" -
as pure Consciousness - we ourselves create a new world in which Love, beauty,
compassion and kindness become a reality which positively influences the whole
of humankind."

The Power of Emptiness

The mind is completely silent, we are attentive – a clear consciousness, / All
meanings, boundaries disappear – us and the Infinite are "One"; / Practically,
we have a new mind – always fresh. /  Being in the pause – I become infinite! /
It separates two worlds. I leave the limited world / And enter Boundlessness,
through total melting; / The whole being is calm – a constant sparkle. / There
is no time, no space – just everlasting Eternity; / I move in direct contact
with life, in a permanent present.

                    ***

      How can we free ourselves from the past and the future? It is all very
simple! With a lucid, all-encompassing Attention, we will watch every reaction
of the mind, without pursuing any purpose or goal. Everything we encounter in
such a manner disappears and, in the void which appears spontaneously, an
unlimited energy is available at our fingertips and we are able to understand
the absolute Reality through a direct experience.
      In this state, we acquire a great sensitivity and everything that life
brings forth in its natural flow is being regarded and appreciated with love and
kindness.
     Man is truly wise only when, detached from his selfish "self", he is united
with Infinity through non-action and an aware passiveness of the mind.
      This mysterious encounter is accompanied by simplicity. Once the past has
disappeared, we are integrated in the now and, with a clear and lucid mind, we
watch everything that comes as constant freshness from one moment to the other.

	             ***

      Creation is constant movement, eternal newness and absolute freshness. It
never repeats itself, it is never static and it is never caught in the trap of
time and space.
      The individual mind, no matter how cultured, has no access to the
phenomenon of creation and cannot understand it, because the mind is always old
and outdated. Each movement of this particular mind separates and limits. Thus,
with such a mind, we will never, in any circumstances, be able to discover the
mysteries of the movement of creation.
       Therefore, this ordinary mind must be silent! But how can we make it
become silent? Only in one way: when we encounter it simply and directly, with
the flame of Attention, without having any motives or ideals to accomplish.
       If the meeting happens in the right way, the mind becomes quiet - it
becomes completely silent - and in that moment our whole being is detached from
the known. From then on, the vessel of consciousness, thus emptied, is able to
encompass and understand the newness brought forth by the movement of life.
      Therefore, a new mind, without limits and without knowledge; in its
stillness, it is creative and through it, the person is always new and active.
Such a mind, in a state of Pure Consciousness, creates radical changes in the
structure of the ordinary man by its simple presence.


                       ********

      Perfectly conscious, I see the emptiness of this world directly and my mind
becomes silent. I have no choices, not even at the level of understanding of
this limited mind. In the silence that ensues, the mystery reveals by itself its
secrets to us.
       The whole being expands to infinity. A light such as we have never
experienced before envelops us and heals us. Out of time and space, we have a
pure consciousness - in perfect union with the Supreme Being.
       All of these demonstrate that the alive within us is, in its essence,
immortal. It has no beginning, no end, it never sleeps, being therefore always
awake.

MANIFESTATION


When a new disciple came to the Master, this is the catechism he was
usually subjected to:

"Do you know the one person who will never abandon you in the whole of your
lifetime?"

"Who is it?"

"You."

"And do you know the answer to every question you may have?"

"What is it?"

"You."

"And can you guess the solution to every one of your problems?"

"I give up."

"You."

Anthony de Mello, SJ



MORSEL:

The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere
and the circumference is nowhere.

CONTEMPLATION


The Master would often say that Silence alone brought transformation.

But no one could get him to define what Silence was. When asked he would
laugh, then hold his forefinger up against his tightened lips ? which only
increased the bewilderment of his disciples.

One day there was a breakthrough when someone asked, "And how is one to
arrive at this Silence that you speak of?"

The Master said something so simple that his disciples studied his face for
a sign that he might be joking. He wasn't. He said, "Wherever you may be,
look when there is apparently nothing to see; listen when all is seemingly
quiet."

Anthony de Mello, SJ



MORSEL:  Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space
or awareness in which the words on this page are being perceived and become
thoughts. Without this awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no
world. You are that awareness disguised as a person.

                --Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks

"Of what use is a Master?" someone asked.

Said the disciple, "To teach you what you have always known, to show you
what you are always looking at."

When this confused the visitor, the disciple exclaimed:

"An artist, by his paintings, taught me to see the sunset. The Master, by
his teachings, taught me to see the reality of every moment."

Anthony de Mello, SJ

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

SOLITUDE


"I want to be with God in prayer."

"What you want is an absurdity."

"Why?"

"Because whenever you are, God is not; Whenever God is, you are not. So how
could you be with God?"

Later the Master said:

"Seek aloneness. When you are with someone else, you are not alone. When
you are 'with God,' you are not alone. The only way to really be with God
is to be utterly alone. Then, hopefully, God will be and you will not."

Anthony de Mello, SJ

                                                         Eternal_Divine_Love
GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS PRECIOUS
Different Religions - Different Methodologies - Destination is same
Learn Spirituality to recognize and approach GOD, whatever religion you belong to
All religions  agree  upon  this that through meditation, it is possible to connect to
GOD.   There  are  different   ways  in  different  religions  but  the aim is same. It is
respectable to call GOD, no matter you call HIM by any name viz GOD, JESUS, RAM,
BHAGWAN or ALLAH. 
Superior  to  religions  is  the  "LOVE OF GOD", which is the essence of  all religions
whereas the Light of God is an illuminating guide in the way.
According to the saying of Hazrat Imam Jafar Bin  Sadiq a.s.  "KNOWLEDGE IS POINT
WHICH HAS BEEN SPREADED BY so called SCHOLARS". And the point is LOVE.
The methods of Meditation is given below which is simple  and shortest and is the
practice of JUST 7 DAYS.  The people belonging to all religions can exercise it by the
name of their GODs, keeping in mind  "THE CREATOR" the one and only ONE,  who
created the whole world and us.
Dear friends,
Try your luck by exercising the methods outlined  in  the Message just  for   7  days
and this will awaken  your "LATIF-E-QALB" (a spiritual entity), and it start chanting
out "Creators"  name (ALLAH HU) which will produce Divine energy(NOOR) in your
heart. This is not only for muslims, people of other religion can exercise,   keeping
in mind  "THE CREATOR" the one and only "ONE" who created the universe and us.
In  the  attached  file  message is also availble in URDU. If you feel to know further
THE METHODS OF PRODUCING LIGHT(NOOR)
NO MATTER  ANY RELIGION - ALLAH(GOD) IS FOR EVERY ONE
In  prehistoric   times  stones   would  be  rubbed  together   to  make   fire.   Whereas  a  spark   can   also  be
produced  by rubbing two metals together. In a similar way electricity is made from water. Similarly by the
friction of the blood inside the  human  body,   in other words electric  energy  is  produced by the vibrating
heartbeat.   In every human being there is present, approximately one and a half volts of electricity due to
which the body is energetic.   As  the  heartbeat  slows  in old age,  this reduces  the  electricity in the body
and this in turn also causes a reduction of the energy level in the body.
Firstly,  the heartbeat  has  to be made vibrant  and pronounced. Some do this by dancing, some by sports
and exercise and some people try to do this by meditating and chanting the Name of God Allah.
When  the  heartbeat  becomes  vibrant   and   pronounced  then  by  chanting  the   name  of  "Allah"  try  to
synchronize it  with  every heartbeat.  Alternatively  try to  synchronize "Allah" with one heartbeat  and Hu
with the other. Some  time  by  placing your  hand  on the  heart  and   when  you  feel your heartbeat, again
try to synchronize the Name  "Allah" by chanting  it with  the rhythm of the heartbeat and imagine that the
Name "Allah" is entering the heart.
The chanting of" Allah Hu" is better and more effective but if anyone has an objection,or a fear of chanting
Hu, then instead of being deprived one should  solely use the name Allah,repetitively in the chanting. It is
beneficial  for people who chant  and practice  this  discipline  and who read mantras to physically remain
as clean as possible as the:
"disrespectful are unfulfilled and the respectful and fulfilled."
THE FIRST METHOD OF PRODUCING LIGHT:::::::::             Write     "Allah"     on    a    paper    in    black    ink    66
times  and   do   this  exervise   for  as long  as  you  wish on  a  daily  basis.   Soon thereafter,  the Word Allah
will   be   transported   from  the   paper  and  hover over  the eyes.  Then  with  one-pointed   concentration,
attempt to transport the word from the eyes to the heart.
THE SECOND METHOD OF PRODUCING LIGHT::::               Write    "Allah"    on      a      zero       watt       bulb,     in
yellow.  Whilst  you  are awake or  just before  sleep, concentrate and try to absorb it into the eyes. When
it appears on the  eyes then try to transport it to the heart.
THE THIRD METHOD OF PRODUCING LIGHT::::::::              This      method      is      for      those      people      who
have  perfect   spiritual  guides   and teachers   and who  due  to their  spiritual  connection  are  spiritually
assisted  by  them.  Sit  alone  and  imagine that   your index finger is a pen. Using your finger and with your
concentration,attempt  to write Allah on your  heart. Call upon your spiritual teacher (spiritually), so that
he too may, hold your finger, and write "Allah" on your heart.  Continue to do this exercise everyday,  until
you see Allah written on your heart.
"If  you are succeeded  and your Qalb starts chanting Allah Hu
it will chant 24 hours a day, even if you are sleeping, working
and  will  convert your prayers (Namaz) into  Namaz-e-Haqiqi
and you will enter into Divine Love."
See attached attachements for spiritual teaching in other religions also.

To a traveler who asked how he could tell a true Master from a false one
the Master said shortly, "If you are not yourself deceitful, you will not
be deceived."

To his disciples the Master later said, "Why do seekers assume that they
themselves are honest and all they need is a test to detect deceit in
Masters?"
