The
lasting motivation to excel is the conscious exercise
of the practice
of a superior virtue, which grows in the
aspiration to reach and to know real love.
For this reason, the spiritual life is a constant approach to:
study, work, devotion and it is very true that God
expresses Himself in our hearts.
Isn't this a reason for happiness?
Let's continue on the path that always is a divine gift.
It might happen that some of the moments lived,
for
multiple reasons, are not always the most pleasing ones.
As lacking happiness, as if the light was extinguished,
but there is something important that is necessary
to
apply. Although a mist
seems to surround us. We have
to be the light in the darkness,
because Love has to
illuminate the world from our inner self, in a tireless way.
Some of the sources of true and lasting life
are
understanding, mercy, service. We have to share
the Light and this will allow us to appreciate
the
essential foundations of the soul. In this way,
all humanity becomes a message filled with life, joy, hope.
Whenever that we find conflict, bitterness,
let's bring
sincerity and clarity, instead. This is the spiritual life.
-1-
The great spiritual
truths are always manifestations
of
Divine Goodness and
the truth is that is not far from us
from the sincere smile to the spontaneous service,
there
are many possibilities of manifesting
The Presence of God.
Do we have long to wait? Only to ask
then...one have to
express...and in this way the path opens under our feet.
-2-
Some people enjoy daydreaming
about been able to travel
to the stars with the overload of many doctrines,
they
pretend to cross the sea with a single step.
They speak of truth but they have never known It,
and all
of this because they have not learned
how to be sincere in
their search, on their spiritual path.
They claim the fruit but they never found the seed.
How can they fly if they don't have wings?
As looking from the high to the mountain
but never trying
to climb it.
We believe that we are removing the thirst of ignorance,
but we move away from the waters that purify
and from
the true effort, in which wisdom is appreciated.
It hurts us the blindness but we feel lazy and
we don't
want to open our eyes,
we want to be important and powerful,
as kings surrounded by many citizens
and to talk about
wisdom as great and eloquent teachers,
but on the other hand,
we don't have humility to learn. It is as if the mind locks itself
in an assumed gold's castle,
protecting miseries, vanities and
selfishness
and maybe looking for applause, pedestals,
trophies, medals.
For that reason, to reach the ideals, it is necessary to work,
leaving the dreams of greatness.
It is better a short step with a good effort,
so that the
meditation becomes deep,
so that we truly become sincere,
and we don't continue deceiving ourselves,
so we
understand how to be a better person on earth.
Let's honor our decisions and commitments
and let's make
something good out of them.
It serves no purpose to be a great initiate one day
and then
arrogant, feeling more than enough
with a confused attitude
the next day.
Let's be genuine, let's be practical.
Learning about Love by loving.
And let's find wisdom day by day, with effort and self denial.
Then, we will become one with the stars.
-3-
The soul...will never be able to forget its origin. When I see the
light of the dawn, I can also feel
the laugh of the children and the
song of the birds.
I can discover the tenderness of one and a
thousand feelings
because in truth nobody has ever limited our
heart.
This has been born to see, to live, to feel the love.
How great and wonderful the universe is!
And how many reasons of love we have every day.
Could reasons for sadness exist?
We only have to leave our heart be.
And .there will be no borders
because Love as
destination for all creation is everywhere.
-4-
Spiritual unfolding is sustained in faith but this is not blind
neither dogmatic.
For a better understanding,
it is: rational
and conscious. Therefore it is understanding
and a real
experience of love.
It's no longer as the one who looks
to a far
away landscape
but rather participates of it
trying to seek the
perfection of love
among all beings, by the creative virtue
in which we all are children of truth.
Faith is then the act that includes:
recognizing, practicing,
praising life in its marvelous foundation of eternal love.
-5-
When we
experience a deeper meditation
we not only
discover calm and silence
but also understanding,
sensibility and creativity.
Since, when we meditate
we
don't close the doors to the world,
just the opposite
happens since we unite more to it
but in a special way,
deeper and perfect.
Since the calm and the silence guide us
to regions of love and forgiveness,
where we become better
persons
and also more loving since we develop
the peace
that gives wisdom and humility.
Therefore we will be renovated ,
young, of eternal spirit.
Because we are in the process of discovering
the value of
recognizing and appreciating.
In that way meditation unites us
to the path of love and
spiritual life.
-6-
In order to understand that which seems incomprehensible,
is necessary to stop using the reason
not by disdain or conceit,
but in order to reach that which can't be realized,
is necessary
something more than the reason.
Let's free the intuition,
that what appeared impossible at a
certain moment
will light up as the sun at noontime.
-7-
One of the
simplest things is to listen to the spiritual word
which is always placid, refreshing, renovating.
Nevertheless and it is regrettable
that few people make
the effort to listen with the heart
and in truth get to live
the teaching.
Many are the dreams of man, as innumerable as the stars
but few are those that make their dreams possible.
The majority listen and let it pass
as if their beings were
impenetrable
and nothing could reach them to germinate
and bloom
because for this to happen
something more
than listening is required,
it is also needed to want to be
listened to,
to want to participate in the message
and to
take it as example of life in every moment.
The spiritual teaching is not a drifting boat.
It is the
guide, the goal,
of the flower its aroma and its colorful
charm.
It is not only appearance, it is essence
and
substance that have met again
because Spirit knows his
name, knows his way,
it's only needed to remember him
again in order to arrive to his destiny.
-8- PUESTO EN RAINDROPS AND CALENDAR
I was meditating in front of the sea, its color is simply
wonderful and it perfectly conjugates
the green emerald
and an exquisite blue,
that being as it is sea, also has
sky sparkles
with rhythmic waves and swirls of ocean
foam
that always seem to speak of peace and tranquility.
I could calm myself in front of the sea.
It is pure Nature,
a generous mother,
a source of conciliation and of renewed
virtues.
Now, when I close the eyes,
I also discover the sea
within me, and I have found that
we will never be able to
separate.
Meditation unites in such a way
that it causes
that we discover our natural foundation of life.
-9-
In order to reflect about Virtue
we would have in principle
to be virtuous
and how to be even before what we seek to be?
The secret of this paradox is found in humility.
This is the
smallest and at the same time
the greatest of all virtues.
Let's meditate upon this and our heart will brighten up!
Every path has its beginning but by fragile that it may be
it indicates a great achievement,
therefore the road to
virtue and accomplishment
is always based on Loving
and Loving.
-10-
Life's purpose is to make of it a path of peace
because
the one who finds wisdom
is the one who gives the best
of himself in his work.
This simple teaching reveals that
man is
a spiritual creature who has been born to be happy
and to live in peace.
Let's remember then our origin
beyond the stars. All life
is based on the sacred Love of God.
-11-
Patience
is
not only born of the art of contemplation
but also
from the power that gives us,
knowledge, experience and the
service to peace.
Patience is also nourished by compassion
and it is nurtured
daily by life's inspiration,
being met in service as its most
beautiful purpose
in order to make a pleasant relationship
between
man and the universe.
Patience, believes and loves human life's hope and
surrenders with wisdom filled with calm,
to a work
committed to the renovation
and care of peace itself.
Without the development of this virtue,
order cannot bloom
brotherhood cannot be known,
mercy cannot be found
and in this way someday
get to know True Love.
-12-
Adapting to the circumstances is an art in itself
when the facts and the events change and are unpredictable
inner serenity...is the source of harmony and balance.
Therefore...everything can change...
with the exception of the inner calm.
This experience doesn't come from the world by the world...
but...it is in the heart of the one who searches for
the wisdom found...in the inner peace.
-13-
The
Spiritual experiences are reached, when man
sincerely loves justice, peace and freedom.
This approach is so vast, that only
by beginning to practice it, extraordinary things
will happen in our lives and in our surroundings,
because man is also father and son
of the whole humanity.
Therefore, we necessarily have to reflect
wisdom and understanding
Because ...God put the Truth...in our hearts.
-14-
A distant time ago in a path of the journey
the being and the not being met...
and both looked at each other
one contemplated the whole
and the whole ... discovered the nothing...
then...both followed their way
nevertheless...somehow...
they never separated...making their destiny...one.
-15-
The
True Being is pure and immaculate.
At His light...all the lights seem as shadows....
In front of Him...we are as nothing...
But...in His Presence...we become splendorous
and all our existence unites forever to eternity.
Here resides...The Great Compassion.
-16-
All passes
and is transformed...
the high mountains to plains...
and the plains in time to be mountains..
but...true faith...never changes
it never abandons its roots,
because its strength, neither life nor death
will change.
Is not all this but marvelous...?
-17-
I will recognize you ...without looking at your eyes...
since I can hug you...without having you close...
because ... what unites us...is not the appearance...
but the essence...the same one that is as much
in the invisible as in the visible things
as much in the earth as in heaven
because...all that exists is also the same life
that won't make differences...neither comparisons...
that will always be one...
beyond its infinite diversity.
-18-
In order to conquer reason...
one should be open to feeling...
and to conquer feeling...
it is necessary to be open to reason...
this might seem contradictory...
but....it contains a perfect order.
-19-
Thanks to God, who gave me the capacity
of loving and respecting everyone.
They may be different from me
they may not think as I do
but if I can respect them, I will know that
I have spirit of unconditional love
since it is sincere and true.
It would be sad if I did not recognize
the differences between men
and it would be sad if I did not see in them
the greatness of humanity.
-20-
Life contains changing scenes, paradoxical situations
where nothing would seem safe or stable.
It is like a sea in movement...coming and going incessantly.
But what's important and magnificent about this,
are not the changes, it's the control and direction
that we maintain in each one of the situations.
As if we were the captain of a boat
with many years of experience.
This wisdom ...is a gift from meditation:
The calm in the disagreement...security in the insecurity....
control in the uncontrollable.
And...in this way...we could continue forever
the certain thing is that every situation requires an attitude.
However...If we find the way to peace...
could we neglect to cultivate it ?
The external world...is shaken and affected...
laughs and cries...it is born and it dies...
but...the peace that we find in meditation...
is permanent balance...constant harmony.
-21-
To
meditate is as seeing the flight of a bird
free and spontaneous, posing from time to time
among the tree tops and....then...
retaking the flight as wanting to be fused among
light and heaven.
Always free always happy...
Because ...life is and will always be...
an eternal flowing ....in the great universal harmony.
And...this is the treasure that meditation give us.
-22-
To develop mastery in meditation...
it is necessary to be free of every search
and pre-established idea.
Nevertheless...one have to always do the best effort
because ... to meditate is to learn to flow...
through the inner vision....
and....this is as contemplating the horizon...
always an integral look....more than the concentration on an idea
therefore.....meditation is...
to deepen in the continuous effort....
that is compared with....a river that flows....
the idea is...to expand the calm...the stillness...
and with this....peace, wisdom and love...
will come.
-23-
The qualities and virtues of man
are not only to be seen when he does good...
but also...and besides...
when he moves away from him all evil.
-24-
Meditation
is always a source for renewal...
vitality and peace....
Why is this possible? Well, it is possible
because man, in truth, is not only a form, a thought or a thinker;
he is much more.....
If we could see the universe as a whole
and to reach the understanding of its absolute unity,
we would perfectly know, then, that this is man:
"The universe is the man"
So that the energy of life, the energy of peace,
of health and all that in which the universe is lavish,
is also in man an unquestionable reality.
The understanding of all this wisdom arises
when we are able to meditate,
and this is to say, when we have broken
with the barriers and the frontiers of
an absurd and arrogant selfishness,
because when we feel as being able to live,
in fact, nothing prevents us to flow
in this limitless unit.
For this reason:
meditation, man and the universe,
are intrinsically one.
-25-
The one
who meditates keeps silence
to listen to Love's voice.
He closes his eyes to look at the inner light...
beyond the external images and the outer sounds
the inner wisdom is found.
But this, will not always have to be this way
someday the light of love will flourish everywhere
illuminating everything and at the same time
will be as a wonderful music that in turn,
will fill all the spaces.
The one who meditates yearns for eternity
but not because he wants to escape from the world
but rather he wants that someday the world gets to be
light...and song of eternity.
-26-
Generosity.....certainly is a spiritual experience
because in every instance it emerges from the heart.
Generosity is in good count:
To meet again in the unity of the soul that integrates all in existence,
causing that we always feel
like an active part
sensible and very dynamic
in everything that happens
in life.
For that reason, the generous being transcends the limits
of time and space, of the well known and the unknown
since virtue goes beyond the understanding of generosity itself
because it is a vocation of service, which is completely unconditional.
Consequently, generosity will always be
the sublime act of service and communion with the universe.
-27-
To
appreciate the spiritual experience,
it is necessary to live in the ample sense of the word.
Only when man can see in himself and through his acts,
the fruit of his works,
he is able to appreciate.
For this reason, we have an evolutionary process,
because although all the love comes from God,
it is up to man, to take and make his,
this true knowledge, that will liberate him
of ignorance, selfishness and indifference.
When we are also capable of seeing others
with the eyes of the heart,
then the world and the universe are filled
with faith and hope.
To appreciate is the process of growing in the awakening
to the consistent and perfect reality
where and for this reason,
the virtue of esteem and respect grow,
forging knots of independence and freedom,
in an immense, infinite,
but never discriminatory multiplicity.
The universe is by itself,
the diversification of the great all
sustained in the unity of the great primordial truth.
That state of appreciation is the reflection of love
that illuminates with peace and wisdom
man's heart.
-28-
"To come across with the Powers"
This is one of the most fascinating and delicate chapters, at the same time.
When the mind discovers that doesn't have limits,
when time and space fit in the hole of the hand,
when man can become as small as a grain of sand,
or expand and touch the stars, or even embrace the universe itself.
However, this is a very. ..very ... short instant in the path.
certainly magic, certainly extraordinary, tremendously real,
but so delicate, so carefully sensitive because
it can be confused:
The magic of the power and the wonderful glory of true wisdom.
The key of all this achievement of powers
is in the art of the total concentration
and this is explained as instruction and example:
We only perceive through our ego,
before which and by which,
the all and the nothing acquire through us
the gift of being even our own experience,
therefore, we always have the capacity to be and not to be,
to do or not to do, to act or not to act,
therefore the first power is:
That of being free or that of being slave of ourselves.
Starting from this principle,
the human mind is the author of the same existence.
Let us reflect and we will understand that nothing is outside
of our only and own reality
and this is the way of the power,
very large and very pompous, but in the spiritual life truly...truly...
only a dream that will have to pass to the extent that we can grow
and truly be in communion with:
The only truly, powerful, immutable and perfect:
The Love of God.
-29-
Every process of the spiritual awakening
is perfectly related to the most sensitive condition
of the human soul which is our inner child.
We all are born with a wonderful potential,
full of tenderness, friendship, innocence, purity,
affection and natural love.
However and tragically,
through life, experiences of lack of love
wound the susceptibility of this marvelous
condition ,causing:
abandonment, bitterness, suffering and loneliness.
Thus, spiritual illnesses will develop as:
insecurity, doubt, confusion
and lack of peace and love.
The spiritual work, will necessarily restore man to his natural condition
and this will be one of its main achievements.
For all these reasons,
the search for truth is on the other side,
the return to the source of natural values.
Let's envision for an instant
a world filled with peace and love,
a world where children will smile because the violence has ceased.
And beyond doubt, there is great wisdom here...
in returning to the foundation of man's existence.
When we act in one or the other direction,
when we reflect about the spiritual truths
and when we purposely search for truth
we'll know with certainty that we are rescuing the inner child
and therefore we will be re-creating the world
for a tomorrow of peace and love.
-30-
We
all are called to the meeting with true love
and the certain and sincere path
which we might call happiness.
For this reason,
happiness is not only the goal,
but rather and also the path itself
this is why, we can be happy on each step that we take,
even in the difficulties that we find,
because those who feel the beating of their hearts,
while in the path to reality and truth,
will have to realize that all effort
is precisely, the same happiness.
To be happy is... to live happily
because we have found
how to live with complete certainty,
which is faith... in happiness itself.
And all this is the art of living.
-31-
Meditation can change many things ... it can transform our lives..
and certainly, it can make us better persons.
All this is due to the fact that we can realize truth ...
and this is a gradual, but very serious and consistent process.
Soon, we would be discovering if we really are sincere with ourselves,
if indeed we want to change ... to have peace ... and above all,
to be a source of love and inspiration.
Meditation, then, it's directly related to self-criticism:
which is a constructive process to understand ourselves
and also to understand others.
It is possible that in occasions we enter in contradiction,
but the important thing will be of course, to find our weakest points,
going beyond the superficial analysis
and besides, to be able to communicate,
since often, man lives too much in the fantasy
and he needs to have a real and practical spirituality.
Although to meditate is not properly to analyze,
meditation, certainly, will take us
to a clearer conscience, in harmony and peace.
Let's look for in meditation
not a reason for isolation
but a source of universal love.
-32-
There
are great and small doubts,
the important thing is to be able to overcome them,
by interpreting, knowing them
with the end result of
succeeding upon them.
In some occasions, doubts have a great value,
because they help us to deepen and overcome
different issues.
We should take even a short time of our day,
in which to doubt in a healthy way, of many things or of all,
with the only objective of not increasing the doubt
but of conquering, noticing it
so we can perform in life's coming and going.
In this way, we would learn how to recognize the obstacles
not as blockades or walls, but rather circumstances
that should be study and solved,
because, after all:
the time lived or to be lived is and always will be
an opportunity to grow toward truth,
and to accomplish this, we need to know ourselves...
to understand...interpret... have friendship with ourselves
and to overcome and modify everything
that takes us away from peace, happiness
or of giving and receiving love.
Doubt is not an enemy but neither is a permanent
ideal condition,
it always is a step in the ascending path
to the communion with truth.
-33-
Life is as
fragile as wonderful...
as vastly large as delicately small....
If we really want to change.. to improve.. and to excel..
we have to be able to commit ourselves
with time and space,
because the sailor won't reach the shore
if he constantly changes his course.
The crop will be lost if it's not taking care of:
the cultivation, the flower, the plant, even the earth.
We may for an instant contain water
in our hands, but if we lose the attention,
the water will run and will leave us.
How to reach our dreams?
How to finish every day's work?
If we don't dedicate our whole life,
to really live,
we will be as a lie, which is only self deceptive.
The spiritual path is loving and demanding,
delicate and diligent.
Is the man able to stop breathing?
Something so simple and elementary,
but so immensely important.
For this reason,
real love is constant,
is also dedicated and certainly, profound.
It doesn't disregard neither neglects anything,
it intentionally wants to be better every day
and respects with fervor its fellow beings.
Man is only true when he has made of his dreams
a reality and when in the reality,
he lives his dreams.
-34-
The search for
truth
is something so personal
that we could compare it with breathing
or with the heart's beat...nobody can do it for us...
Although truth must be one
and love for its condition of fullness and mercy,
will give us the light of peace,
it will have to be for the maturity of our intention and action
that we receive with humility,
the grace of awakening "To the divine life."
However, if we don't move, nothing will happen,
so that no man can change our life,
only ourselves,
since love has given us this privilege:
The one of reaching self's realization
by total surrender.
Our personal relationship with God
can truly change our destiny
and all the techniques, rituals, systems
or procedures, are exactly that,
processes of adaptation, signs in the path.
The doctrine, whichever it is,
never is the goal,
only a beginning, a guide,
a small orientation
until being able to make of the road... our path...
from the heart... to the action.
Here, it is explained
the principle of individual freedom
and true love.
-35-
Difficult
trials may come to our lives,
however, it doesn't exist a mysterious power
that tries to complicate our existence,
on the contrary,
if a superior power exists, this will try
that we overcome the conflicts or the painful stages.
For this reason,
we must interpret life as a true opportunity
of being ourselves,
which means:
a part highly human
and another which is
marvelously spiritual.
And then, life ... certainly is
the absolute union of two apparent contradictions:
the relative and changing, mutable matter, in its own nature
and the perfect, absolute and true transcendental: Love itself.
Life is... a smile of soul and body
And we must take the difficulties
with dignity and renewed effort
until we realize
that what before we called tests,
were processes of the human mind
and that
life's love will come to rescue the heart
that has faith in the present
and in the eternal tomorrow.
-36-
Man will
see his spiritual growth
as much as he can see
greatness and simplicity
as the origin
of his actions and reactions.
When he is not limited by his preferences,
respecting also,
the thought and behavior
of other individuals.
The real growth will be accomplished
when he understands
the love to freedom and peace for all beings.
And then, in this way, we all be arriving
to a real and spiritual awakening..
-37-
To be able
to dialogue with God,
certain basic conditions are needed,
not because God doesn't always listen
but because prayer is by itself
a source of growth and development.
In any event, sincerity and the constant search for humility,
are essential pillars that will be reinforced
with the surrender and the desire
for personal and universal excellence.
All this must be accompanied by a very dedicated,
introspective and reflexive attitude.
Since it is something very important,
which can't be seen as something fleeting
or simply as a constant petition to God.
It is necessary to learn to love Him
and to recognize Him,
and also to be naturally consistent
with prayer itself and with the merit
that we try to reach
which should always be
unconditional love, in sincerity and in truth.
Then, we will be gratified with wisdom,
truth and peace.
Gradually, we will be able to contemplate
the glory of love in all creatures,
rejoicing in this way in the wonderful
Creator's will.
Because prayer starts with order
and natural good.
If we can take some time in the day, for prayer,
this will be the richest time of our life.
-38-
The
spiritual path is always found in such a special place..
where nothing or nobody can take us
unless we take the decision.
However, this path and to walk... is directly proportional
as much to the exterior as to the interior
until we reach a perfect balance.
So that the world is always witness of the process,
clearly internal,
which will always be the most relevant,
because we will have to arrive to an ideal goal
to be able to conscientiously conceive
that we have a spiritual nature
and that this should always be true love.
There are large treasures inside man,
extraordinary faculties and unlimited knowledge,
but all this can be activated as long as
we let our nature be which will
flourish
in compassion
and service.
The divine and creative force
has given us everything and nothing.
The path begins and then finishes
in the humility of the heart.
-39-
The method
to understand is based on peace,
in other words, peace to ourselves,
peace to the other ones,
therefore, spiritual understanding is the realization of a state
of uprightness and sincerity
in which selfishness and wrong have totally disappeared.
Starting from this wonderful achievement,
realization of the
most secret mysteries of the soul
cannot be but the simple consequence
of the love that flows in the heart
that has already discovered the value of
the unconditional surrender to love by love itself.
Only then, we can reach depth in all our existential reasoning
when we are absolutely fair with the sincerity of our conscience,
in order to not to dress in false images and concepts
that pretend but they only are illusions of reality.
When we start to be spiritual awake,
the masks that as shades pretend to hide the light, fall,
and in the path to surrender
love will immediately assist us
filling all our needs fully,
because there is a single cause and reason of life:
To love unceasingly to love...
and then peace will be its natural consequence.
-40-
Beyond
everything ..beyond nothing
is man in front of himself.
When we deepen in the meditation:
the forms and the concepts,
preferences, indifference or what we reject, they all cease,
we are left without solitude, direction, goal, or path.
This might seem a great contradiction but the answer is:
that the form is contained in the no form
and the moment has arrived
that everything has been transcended
even the transcending itself,
neither viewer nor vision,
there is nothing that can be compared.
What has then been achieved of the meditation
of this whole process of total and final dissolution
what do we leave or do we reach?
The answer is of course,
beyond words,
that which is completely indescribable, also inconceivable...
is the mind without mind,
beyond the form and the no form,
beyond freedom or slavery, wisdom or ignorance,
certainly it is to have overcome and transcended all the forms, causes, effects,
reasons and no reasons.
Then, there is no longer distance,
it is no longer necessary to make or not to make,
there is no purpose...then,
where are we, where have we arrived?
Let's make a pause ...
in this reflection and meditation...at the same time ...
of all this.....
The unconditional has arisen, rather,
the condition which is by itself unconditional,
that doesn't conceive either actions
or reactions.
Let's pause again...
All the frontiers have fallen
and the reasons begin to be distinguished clearly,
the reasons of the thought and of the feeling
they no longer contain the man,
purity is so pure that not only goes beyond everything that shines
but beyond ignorance and wisdom:
THE UNCONDITIONAL REALITY.
-41-
Does the flower conceal its perfume?
Does the sun hide from the noon?
Does the sea abandon its eternal origin?
All that which is natural is constant
only the appearances vary
life neither hides nor deceives.
We don't want to understand this.
And, sometimes we want to change things to our order
until one day
when we understand
that there is a perfect balance in the whole universe.
We all are necessary and important
we all deserve respect, consideration and love
There will be just and appropriate measures
for that reason
love inspires the law and the order
and the order and the law
delight in love.
There is no wisdom in conflicts
whether inner or exterior
but there is abundance
in the knowledge of creating balance.
Everything passes
and nothing remains the same
but the essence of everything
never changes.
Many are the faces of nature
many are the feelings.
The times...the spaces...the images ...
the faces...the names...and the
dreams...
Nevertheless
everything returns to its origin
this is called
primordial knowledge
By virtue of the meditation
and by prayer
we understand this experience
because it can't be realized in another way
only in first person
and in the totality of ourselves.
In this way
one understands
one knows.
Knowledge is found in the making
it has to be full of life
and it has to be reached by our own decision
nevertheless
it has to be born from absolute surrender
nothing can limit us
we are the children of true love
and love will always be
our eternal destiny.
-42-
Life may have innumerable changes,
so many,
that we feel that we don't have control over them,
even more,
we may feel that we have lost the control, the balance,
however,
our mistakes are not our limits,
they are only a short moment of darkness,
so then, we can appreciate the light...
If we feel depressed, confused,
we would lose the most valuable....
Hope and effort will materialize gradually
in a really consistent faith,
mature and solid,
therefore,
the losses and the confusions
will later become
just and necessary stimulus to help us
change and excel.
This is a very large and wide topic,
that also consists on the power of
self acceptance,
self knowing,
self forgiving
and also
of forgiving others.
Large achievements, by all means,
are never far from difficult moments,
but love will make the difference.
God has already given us life...
now,
let's return to God and to life,
all the love that we can give
and this is the way to Truth.
-43-
I would like
a happy world for all
where it did not exist
disease...pain. .sadness.. and violence.
Where, sincerity and loyalty
be a constant expression
of fraternal love...
Where the respect for all beings and creatures
without exception of any species
be always important
and
filled with generosity....sensitivity.
Understanding and compassion.
Where there are neither reasons nor causes
for conflicts and tragedies.
Maybe all this is an aspiration
or a very distant dream
nevertheless
I understand and I know
that this is the reason of life...
That God has created a wonderful universe
and has given to man
a portion of eternal life
for this reason
also to understand
that everything depends on us
so that
it is not only aspiration
but rather
and also
a total reality always
Therefore
I want you to know
that it is in me
and it is in you
nothing can prevent us from
reaching this reality.
-44-
All beings are called to a spiritual awakening...
to a fullness of conscience,
to a life in abundance,
which means: talents and virtues
of love, peace and wisdom,
but this is not an immediate fact,
since it is necessary quite a special, sensitive and
demanding process.
For each individual be able to receive
the awakening of the grace of Love,
he has to leave behind his selfishness,
insincerity and lack of charity.
It becomes necessary to study the nature
of our thoughts and their intentions,
in order to know the causes that motivates us
to be and to act,
until finally,
we can leave behind, totally,
every characteristic of indifference.
In this way,
the bonds and commitments are strengthened
with justice and truth
and this guides us to renovation and transfiguration,
not only in the acting and making
but rather in the substance and essence
of the being itself.
Then, the heart will be filled
with True Love
and Eternal Light will be one with us
and with the eternity
of the horizon
of a perfect and eternal life.
Love will make us just, free and true.
-45-
The Art of having Peace....at all levels,
is not something simple,
not only consists on closing the eyes and ears,
it is much more than that.
We require to develop intelligence
and a spiritually stable and mature conscience,
because peace is a balance that has
to be established in many levels
and with the difficulty of such a changing
and mutable scenario,
that is certainly unpredictable,
but the balance of peace is a result of Divine intervention
and this should always be very clear.
If our faith matures,
our capacity of understanding, of analysis,
of opinion, will be amplified and constantly improved.
For this reason and many other,
we will overcome violence,
because we will place our life in the hands of Love,
but it won't be only an aspiration
but rather a responsible and dynamic conviction,
where to be fair and honest,
will also take us to be generous.
In this spirit,
complete by the merciful action of Love,
peace will arrive, covering each one of the needs,
overcoming with evolutionary direction,
all conflicts,
so that man finally can realize peace,
as the way of life,
sincerity, dedication, selflessness,
work and charity.
In this way,
Peace will arrive to the fullness of the reality
in our lives.
-46-
"The Inner Voice"
It will not be with words...
not even with thoughts,
neither there will be ideas nor concepts,
it will not come because of analysis or for reflection
Truly,
the voice of the soul is a lot beyond
all the conceivable or conceptual,
however and for this,
the effect that will take place
will go beyond of the mind itself.
In this way,
the experience will transcend the limits,
showing an infinite space
and spiritual fullness.
For this reason that goes beyond reason,
the voice of the soul is always
pure...wonderful....and eternal...
She reveals us the truth beyond the senses
and even beyond ourselves.
Nothing, of course,
can be compared to this experience,
better yet,
nothing can be compared
to the experience of the union
with Love Itself.
-47-
In many occasions we are caught by our own limits,
it seems that there is not any possible alternative,
that we have simply arrived to a stage of the road,
where there is not possibility to advance,
just as if a dense and terrible darkness has closed on us,
in which the only possibility consists
on defeat and loss of hope.
However, this doesn't have to be this way,
man is not alone,
he is never abandoned,
he can feel confused, lost,
but there is a Sovereign and Superior Power
which is always merciful
and all that we have to do
is to appeal to this Superior Power
to this magnanimous condition of the Spirit.
Therefore,
when we open our heart...
the changes will begin....
The necessary transformations for a better life...
but, let's not look for the miracle,
because we are the miracle,
let's only look for Truth and Good
and in this way
all that is necessary, will be added.
-48-
Good communication among men
is much more than a science,
more difficult than any university study.
However,
and this comes as a surprise...
we will always find a source of light and clarity
in the noble hearts of the children,
because the foundation of the understanding
is mainly in the spirit
and here there is depth
and there is wisdom.
It is necessary to be able to go beyond our limits,
then, we can listen,
then, we can understand each other,
then, there will be peace.
It is necessary to go into the truth
in a deep and sincere way
but mainly in a humble way,
Then,
we will listen to the soul,
we will understand the soul,
we will have a dialogue
in true love.
-49-
The old man was contemplating a group of children
that were playing on the beach, making sandcastles.
For them it was an important competition.
Some of the sandcastles were high, big, strong,
as if they could resist the passing of time and the strength of the waves,
some others were fragile and delicate and wouldn't resist a small wind.
It happened then, that the children playing contemplated the old man
and the old man, in turn, contemplated the children
and a dialogue without words was formed among them.
And the old man said to himself:
-These children play to forge their destiny,
sandcastles, ocean foam, ocean breeze,
only dreams and nothing else.
And in turn, on the other side of the beach,
the boy that have built the stronger castle,.
making a solid foundation with rocks,
was thinking about the old man:
-Castles of sand, castles of time, of ocean foam, bones and gray hairs,
you have returned to the beach to rediscover you with your dreams,
with the unknown world of yesterday, today and tomorrow,
that nobody will ever truly understand.
We look for reality among the dreams
but in the reality we find the dreams,
there are more mysteries and unawareness
than the happening of time.
Let's be as children,
creative, sensitive, cheerful,
but also, let's be as the old man,
who comes from a long time ago to contemplate the present,
to be filled with energy,
with the happiness of the dreams.
In this way the castles of sand,
of ocean foam, of sea water,
will be filled with a free wind...
with the aroma of the beach...
breezes of eternity ....
So the unknown becomes a creative play
of tenderness and sensibility.
-50-
One of the most important aspects in the spiritual progress
consists on being conscious of the necessity
to really prepare oneself
not because life is a final exam,
but because our life is not a game,
which doesn't have sense or reason.
Life is very important,
it is valuable and it requires of a total and present dedication.
This may not be understood,
however, to understand us and our actions,
the correct method is the one of self studying
and besides we need to request help:
if at all the necessary one for the prompt understanding,
with which we will have to assume a deeper stage of analysis,
introspection and practice.
The universe and Divine Love constantly offer us
countless means and reasons
to cultivate peace and true intelligence,
let's not be negligent or excessively indulgent with ourselves,
let's appreciate the importance of our facts and let's put to work day by day,
the resources that foment wisdom and good.
Safe ground is not reached when we neglect ourselves.
The great obstacles are our own veils
that end up paralyzing and blinding the natural light of the intelligence,
because man's development is measured by his work
which will always be consequent and reciprocal
with the will of God.
And let's not allow the grace of Divine Love to pass before us
and simply allowing it to vanish
without treasuring the truth
because great sadness will consume the heart
of the one who doesn't make an effort
that doesn't cultivate and
doesn't take care of the essence and the substance of his life,
which to know once again is:
To manifest the Creator's glory
in the glory of a just heart
and balanced mind
that above all things
and to sum up:
he loves in the entirety of love's life....
love itself.
-51-
From a long meditation process....that man came out...
Many springs...had already passed....
So many, that he had forgotten the scent and the aroma of the flowers
He was a person that looked for the meaning of life,
that had abandoned all tastes and pleasures,
since he felt that he had to give priority
to more fundamental aspects,
at least, he thought that way.
After leaving the meditation, he was thinking
that it was necessary to increase the meditation,
that maybe he had lost too much time
and that he would have to make a better effort.
Therefore, he went in search of an old teacher,
that is to say,
perhaps a little older that himself.
After a pilgrimage, he found the longed for master
and he commented to him
of his efforts, sacrifices and austerities
and the teacher said to him:
-Ah, that was the reason that you have not been seen anymore,
that you have also lost the smile and the youth.
You have been, he said clearly,
looking for in the wrong places,
you have locked up your spirit
and you have not allowed it to travel
neither by the world nor by your life
Nobody has been able to know you
and nobody knows you,
you did not care for an animal
you did not water a plant
you did not kiss the forehead of a child,
you did not have dreams with the loved person
you did not watch over the nights to see the light of a new day,
you did not know how the birds fly and nest
and besides all that and much more...
were you thinking that you were looking for the truth?
Does the flower try to wither
or should the children should be born pale, ill, without energy,
and of youth one should run away, frightened?
Why have you denied life,
why have you thought that by hurting you,
you punished some demon
and you did not realize that everything you did
was to bleed slowly?
Please, now that you have left your own captivity,
do not carry to an extreme your confusion.
Be as the light of the sun that does not hide
or like the brilliant green of the leaves
reflecting life's energy.
Do not accuse yourself, please,
neither reject the favor of your senses,
learn and understand that your heart has been born
to love and be loved,
cultivate the friendship and put faith in the work of your hands,
do not cut your walking by life,
do not die without having lived,
enjoy with sincerity the joy of the present.
If there is something mistaken in man
is the fact that he refuses to live.
Why do you look beyond yourself?
What you must do is to accept and to know yourself.
The Love that has created and maintains all the life,
has not made it a crime or punishment.
Do not reject the existence
and make of your meditation
not a cold tomb,
but a purpose to reach
dignity, happiness by sharing day by day,
the joy that is the natural sense of the soul
And that man, who had meditated
without really understanding,
just had a glimpse of the most perfect and absolute reality:
THE PRESENT.
-52-
We will understand the purpose of life
when we can understand the simplest things in life.
These are and will always be: natural, constant, just and also benevolent
We will forget the way to the truth
when we believe that we have grown
beyond our own stature.
We will be completely far from the truth
when the intellectual pride prevents us
to reflect and to communicate with all the simple and elemental.
There are, of course, great complexities,
mysteries that seem infinite,
but they all start from some first steps.
Children, who are the source that will offer life to the human species,
begin in a fragile and delicate way,
there is always slowness in the first steps,
but later, there is great skill and even
wisdom is increased in a way that surprises,
but evolution is a step that follows another step,
a smile that follows another smile,
understanding and tenderness that later becomes
confidence, criterion and reasoning: wise and profound.
But all the great works have been made and are made by men and women
that didn't know the subject at the beginning
but they were devoted to give the best of themselves.
Then and in this way,
life will guide us until we embrace her,
because eternity will get to be,
naturally,
the destiny of the cultivated soul,
Love will make us free
-53-
The wish to
excel is the
basis for changing
but many other things are necessary
which, we will elaborate and discover
as we consciously come closer to the goal.
-54-
We all have the potential for great and wonderful abilities,
but they need to be educated and perfected.
The spiritual life is to take our person and the universe
as an all indivisible one,
and not to take this vision of the reality, as utopia,
but as a personal and sincere call
to reach what's best and true
which we will live in the art of giving and receiving.
God has established a Kingdom of love,
happiness and abundance,
not to make an effort to reach the goal,
simply is to deny ourselves.
Let's make a sincere analysis of conscience
and then let's take day by day,
the inevitable path toward success
This must give us peace, happiness and true love,
because the creation has been made by a God who is alive
and for this reason,
we will always have to claim to be Light of Life.
-55-
It is good and
enriching...
to listen to words of wisdom
but
if we don't practice and reflect upon them
we are dissipating a great treasure.
Therefore
It is not enough to listen to beautiful phrases,
it is necessary to substantiate them.
Just as...to calm the thirst
it is not enough to see the running water
one must drink...make it ours.
For a tree to be beautiful and luxuriant ...
someone has to cultivate it...
All this require care and attention.
Wisdom is worthless
if it is not applied.
The spiritual experiences are good
and they will become even better
if we strengthen them
by been consistent
worthy and responsible.
Besides,
the idea is not only to search constantly
but to go deeply on them.
One must not love the spiritual teachings superficially
considering them as poems
because they are above everything
worthy truths
that deserve to be experienced...lived....in fullness.
-56-
Question of complicated nature is the one of
defining spiritual achievement.
It has always been commented with regard to
the spirituality and its way,
as of magical and mysterious ways
and it should be very clear the definition of spiritual achievement
when we can understand it along with
two wonderful sources of wealth:
humility and compassion.
There is here so much source of knowledge and power...
as well as work to fulfill
with glory to the only truth that is Love.
If man is spiritual,
his world also is,
and balance and love will show
by the fruit of his work,
which will be blessed by the principle of the action
that flows without even a small shade
of selfishness or evil.
The spiritual life is vastly rich,
all Earth's treasures are as a grain of sand,
if we compare them to the wealth of the Spirit.
How much love I have discovered that I can give today
that I will be able to give tomorrow
and that I will always give...!
If the one who would like to know which is the key to wealth
and to abundance
Isn't it certain that the universe is sustained
by perfect laws sustained by a divine balance
that causes that all life corresponds to the total reality?
If you really love.... What can you ever lack?
-57-
The man was meditating with a sincere desire
of finding the truth,
but then, at a moment he had a doubt,
he had studied that it was necessary
to transmute the desire, to suppress it
and not to give it any space,
but he found himself desiring,
he wanted to improve and to advance
to be able to understand the incomprehensible
and to know sciences and arts beyond
his reason, intelligence,
And that, which he considered his own spirit.
The truth seemed to come closer and to go away, at the same time;
this man had studied so many things,
that he no longer knew if he was escaping from life
with the hope of not reincarnating
or maybe with the accumulation of so much wisdom
he wanted to live life
with the intensity that life was eternal.
But after thinking and thinking
he discovered the fundamental contradictions,
he also recognized that many doctrines
are based on fear and not in reality
and then he started wondering
about what the reality was
and also, what he was
and where he would go
and he reached the conclusion
that we live in the mystery between
light and darkness
truth and lie
life and death,
between: the relative and the absolute
and that man may be a synthesis of heaven and earth,
that the doctrines are landmarks and myths,
reflections and thoughts of great and small individuals
which wanted to demonstrate
trying to demonstrate to themselves
that they knew the truth
but that the only truth,
most fragile but most apparent, most delicate,
as well as wonderful,
is the one of the own present,
then, the man realized that it is not necessary
to meditate further on, but rather to meditate more here.
What do we do in the present world
to sharpen our conscious reality
and to be firm in sincerity and peace,
in order to live enamored with life?
And with this final reflection,
he expressed a smile
and then he knew that meditation had given its fruit,
the smile was his own soul
and thus, he began to know her.
-58-
The understanding of man towards the universe
and the universe towards man,
begins with a dialogue
that gradually will transcend the words,
the images and even the concepts;
distances, preferences or differences will disappear.
It will be as to have united
all the silences and all the forms.
It will not have any class of separation
Then...everything will be
present and constant Eternal Light.
Have we ever experienced
this knowledge...
this knowing ... this living?
It is only possible when we leave the concepts
that are sustained in selfishness,
when we can surrender freely
to the constant flowing of
unconditional love.
Therefore,
it is wealth and power
to be able not to separate from the universe,
not to try to conquer everything
that is around us.
The true spiritual experience
is greater
and much more humble.
All this will begin in contemplation.
-59-
The spiritual life
is not only a personal path
it is also
and in addition
the power to discover
a great universal family.
Because our brother is:
every man...
the world....
And the whole universe.
Since,
we recognize
that Love unites us all
in one heart.
-60-
The universe is full of questions,
mysteries, symbols
and great treasures of knowledge.
We may think that the answers are hidden
or very far of been understood,
but this is not so.
The universe is a great answer
to a single question.
The question is:
Who are we?
The universe responds to us with its single presence
This is:
The understanding is the recognition of Truth.
Truth has always been there
all that is necessary
is to be able to appreciate with the only possible method,
which is the spiritual life.
To reframe this:
The universe tells us with absolute clarity
but we are the ones that
do not understand because of selfishness
or we understand because of love.
Besides,
the answer is in fact :
To reach the unity
in which as much the man
as the infinite that surrounds him,
are reason and cause of the fundamental exercise of being
for Love, and by Love.
-61-
The spiritual life is something wonderful...
so much
that it doesn't look like anything that
at some time we have considered
It is no based on dreams of immortality
neither in the development of great occult powers
much less in the power of knowing everything.
Neither, of course, in pretending to be God.
The spiritual life is much simpler
much more transparent
and without so many complications
and complexes of power and greatness.
The spiritual life will not solve all the problems
in all the universes,
but it will be able to have the conscience of love
and to respect its own life and that of all those that surround it
which is sustained in humility
and strengthened in service.
It does not pretend to solve all the problems
and not because it is not needed to overcome the difficulties
but rather, it is necessary that each one work their own path.
It is not necessary to deny the help
or to move away from those that need it
but it is necessary to give examples of
work, trust, sincerity and faith.
Then, that which is great and wonderful
will also be in what appears insignificant
and in this way
the true spiritual growth will be discovered.
-62-
The spiritual life and the material life are not two lives....
they are and they will always be one.
The material wealth and the spiritual wealth should not be different,
because of the truth,
they have to come from the same source
and the inspiration must always be based on service and charity.
Therefore, wealth is also prosperity in every sense,
because the importance of the heart must be measured
and if there is work and effort
there will always be fruits
and it is not that there is a human Kingdom and a divine Kingdom,
it is that the human will always hold to the divine.
The universe has been created in an extraordinary bountiful way
where abundance is the real purpose,
but, of course, this doesn't mean waste or greed.
The true man is not greedy,
he knows of course, to adjust to reality
and to control and to order his impulses,
he understands that life is a great field
fertile, generous and benign,
but that it requires of care, respect and intelligence.
Therefore, let's think and meditate,
acting always in an honest way
and seeking to improve ourselves
so much for us as for the others
because the miracle of giving and receiving
is based on this.
When there is dedication and consistent quality,
success will necessarily show,
applying the commitment of high efficiency in life,
in all the aspects,
there cannot be lack but rather abundance
and this term means with clarity
that all our noble expectations will be satisfied
and that we will always be able to give of what we have
without meanness and with a lot of affection,
just as doing this for us.
But, certainly, the great works are also
definite and determined efforts in every detail
of every instant of our life.
Of summits and plains,
of abundant rivers and opposite deserts ...
the face of the earth is conformed,
contradictory views will appear many times
and achievement and merit is not something superficial,
it is necessary to always give of oneself
and this is the reason to give and to receive.
If we can meditate on this
with sensibility
we will have here inspiration and motive of success
today and forever.
-63-
The mountain was high,
so high that seemed unreachable....
however, it was necessary to make the effort,
to continue and to persist.
After great and arduous works
that included vicissitudes and sacrifices,
the high mountain that seemed to touch the stars,
finally was reached
and after recovering the breath,
stepping on the land and contemplating the rivers and plains,
that seemed small silver threads, images that could not be defined
and seemed only as dots of colors.
After seen such an extraordinary vision,
the man, with effort looked a little higher,
to discover that the mountain that he had ascended
was of all the countless chains of mountains,
the humblest and the smallest
There were, of course, higher ones
and many than would fill, not only a universe,
but rather many more.
Then, that man said:
-I thought that my efforts were great
and my sacrifices were too many
but now I discover that I have only shaken the powder of the road.
How will I be able to advance in the path
if I thought that I had already given everything?
But, in an instant, a flash of light entered his heart
and made him understand:
"We won't only advance for efforts,
sacrifices or for long hours of vigil,
it won't only be a rigorous system of life"
Of course!
the man understood....
he had fought with his own limits,
with the shades of his selfishness,
but now he had discovered a truth larger than himself.
There was only a method that would level the path
and that would make of those summits his friends.
The answer, truly, is to love the path...
and for this grace,
for the authority that gives this power,
the faith is born
and there are no longer limits,
even, there is no path,
everything has united....
In that instant,
the man found the knowledge,
he savored the wisdom
and he really loved the love.
It had been discovered the reason
and the mystery of faith.
-64-
The man may look for the answer to the great mysteries
in the vast universes of knowledge and science
but it won't be until he looks inside himself
that he will find the only torch of light
that will lead him to meet the truth.
The large companies begin with small steps
and all the lasting decisions are
and will always be those
that are born of the heart.
-65-
We can synthesize the spiritual teachings
in very practical and elementary arguments;
then, we would have to realize that
in many occasions we look for complexities
not as the true reason to improve and excel
but because the topic is intriguing or mysterious,
however, if we could be able to say the truth
and do this as a practice in life.
Wouldn't this be a great advance
where we all recognize the importance and
the true effect that it causes?
In this way, we could infer also that man's spiritual virtue is
not to stop being a man and to travel beyond the stars,
where celestial beings inhabit
but we would find that if we can do our duty during the day
and with the people that surround us,
great things would happen because with this principle
we would bring truth to our life
that would result in a sincere and prosperous love
making the universe full of friendship, cooperation,
where the natural life and the spiritual life would be integrated
in other words, the life of the body and the life of the spirit
where there would be no great differences
neither complex realizations.
We could be so genuine and dedicated
that our heart would glow
with the understanding of
the wonderful universe that we inhabit,
where thanks to God,
so much love we can give
and so much love we can receive.
-66-
To love God is something
more than to say it
even something more than to pronounce it
think it
or transform it into a dream.
To love God is to act
it is always giving ... always ... the best of ourselves
hoping that God lives in our hearts
and that for this reason and consequence
that all the world may be happy
in peace, justice, wisdom and mainly in love. itself.
Is it worth to have a passive heart
that simply has to receive and to receive?
Love is real because it gives results in life
it elevates the conscience
giving to reason and feeling the whole strength
and also the value of the surrender and the service.
The spiritual life is a germinated seed
that grows every day from the earth to the sky
that strengthens its root and matures
in a glass full with green,
brilliant leaves
that smile and express fondness, sweetness,
compassion,
commitment and sensibility for all beings.
Love is alive and is always the constant source of life.
Could the most splendid light hide?
Isn't this the reason of being and living in the communion of
all the hearts of the universe?
Love will always be dynamic
and will always give of itself its own eternity.
-67-
In the spiritual
path we will basically find two types of individuals:
those that dream and continue dreaming
and those that wake up to the reality.
There are some who hope that a superior power liberates them
absolutely of everything
and others who make something out of their everyday living in which
they will look for:
that the spiritual work is fulfilled through them.
Man can dream with the stars, contemplate the vast horizons and
admire the height of the great mountains with great admiration
and he can think and believe that by looking and contemplating
he already reached all the goals,
however, this is not this way.
If we don't walk, we won't advance in the path,
if we don't sow, we won't harvest,
if we believe that the things will come to our feet
or that we are surrounded by angels waiting for our command
we are confusing totally
the love to life,
the love to action.
Only by tracing maps and making an effort to achieve results in the path
we will have the experience of true understanding
that comes with the fact of:
to make....... in order to live.
There will be no work if there is not effort,
either realization, if there is no commitment and surrender.
The sun comes out for all: rich, poor, dedicated or indifferent,
but some will take the light and they will benefit
and they will take with them the torch that will generate changes
and that will produce real benefits,
others ... will only wait like a dry leaf that the wind moves ...
for a life without conscience and without honor.
Make that your hands and your heart always give the best thing of them,
so that your effort achieves fruits of satisfaction and joy
and it can offer smiles and encouragement.
Lastly, love with actions and not with suppositions,
learn how to be free, exercising your freedom,
love the reality, by being in it,
don't hide behind a doctrine
or behind the column of a temple,
the whole universe is the place where
you can pray
and you must act.

In the search of the spiritual path
we find great and beautiful truths...luminous stars
that would almost make of the night....day.
They
may seem easy or difficult
reachable or unreachable:
paths, goals or roads,
but there is only an answer, only a probability
which
is....the experience...
The conscious depth to want and to feel truth
in our own way,
with all the passion of man
and also
with all the surrender of the spirit.
Certainly,
one have to be a loved son
of the Divine Light
to want to reflect Its splendor,
to be able to transform our life
into the Creator's Word.
It
is not only a moment,
it is the whole life,
with all its paths, avenues, joys and sadness.
Truth
is only reached when only Truth exists.
Which
is then, the way to such experience?
The
answer is found in :
Surrendering
-69-
The Spiritual discipline
must never be considered a sacrifice
on the contrary
the constant effort for improving
is the only real possibility
to achieve our goals
in all the acts of man's life.
The love to the effort and work to be done
dignifies the quality of life
and in this way establishes
a sincere and truthful commitment
where man cultivates and enriches
his/her relationship with the universe
and par excellence appreciates
the Creator's work
making of his/her life a constant example
of improvement and progress.
Love and dedication
will finally bring us
balance...justice ... peace...
-70-
We may have not understood many things
and we may have missed many opportunities
Even more ... we may have been mistaken
in our judgments and actions
All this is part of the stages of the existence
sad parts in a life that goes away
And dreams that vanish...
For not seen the reality....
But all this
is absolutely disentangled
because evolution believes and insists
On people been able to excel.
God loves us deeply
and He will never abandon us
We only have to look for a sincere change.
We may have felt very far from Him
but, He will never abandon us
and, This is Wisdom
that nothing will remain in darkness
that we can accomplish many things in our lives
we can return to the light
where our heart will have peace
And by suppressing our fears and doubts
we will reach understanding
and we will be renewed
because we will not dwell in the mistake
If only for an instant...
we open our heart to God.
-71-
"The Inner Self'
The man who loves Truth looks for in meditation
not only for his self,
but mainly for his Creator.
For this reason, the meditation is a foundation
and necessary basis, which is indispensable in order to recognize
our personal relationship with God.
However, we will not conclude of meditation as the goal
but as a path of inspiration and knowledge
which will have to be taken immediately
to the direct experience and practice of the daily living.
The spiritual man....the inner self...is never far away from nature,
this means: a daily practice of the fraternal coexistence
of the conscious and above conscious love,
completely spontaneous
where the whole universe is honored
as an statement of the love of his Creator to His creature.
Nothing will take the man away from the eternal reality
of being one in the commitment of the constant perfection
in the humility of service,
which responds to the conscious meditation
that elevates us to the necessary level in universal communion
where all the existent is always reason for
mercy, understanding, respect, unity,
in the presence of Divine Love
because of Divine Love
for Divine Love.
-72-
Love
is ... like a limitless ocean
in which
all the existing conforms as well
as part of this wonderful unity
that cannot have limits neither borders
that doesn't discriminate neither limits
but on the contrary
it supports
like sand grains to a mountain
that rises to an endless sky.
There is no power superior to Love
not even the highest wisdom
can understand all its mysteries,
however
It is humble
spontaneous
constant
And eternal.
Love is in your heart...
In your look.
In your actions.
Today and always
we will discover ...
in ... Love...
Eternity's true kingdom.
-73-
Coming closer to meditation
allows us to take conscience of a permanent reality
in a changing world
since we discover the essential
if we are capable of looking within ourselves ...
We will also see the spirit of each being
and we will realize the encounter with the reality.
In this way, we will find compassion and
Meditation will be the integral method
toward reality's essence.
-74-
We may have dreams...great or small ...
the important thing is not their
size
but the fact of having them.
Only the soul can reveal its mysteries
to the one searching to know them
to the one that does not lock himself in his own limits
and who wants to discover from life
what's best every moment.
It is enough to live one day at the time
so that everyday becomes the most important
of a lifetime.
In this way we will have freedom
and we will have time
and we will treasure wisdom
until we discover and develop
the importance of constant love...
that doesn't run neither despairs
that takes and gives
without avarice and without reserve
giving fair balance at every moment
because
every moment is a seed of eternity.
-75-
The
Spiritual experience
will strengthen the faith
and the faith will give all the necessary wisdom.
In this way
the true man goes beyond his limits.
If we can trust our life to the greatness of God
we will truly begin to understand:
Freedom....
Love.....
Fullness of life.
-76-
If I
want to ask for something.
If I want to reach a goal
I must learn to give.
Only in this way
I will recognize and be established
within the evolutionary order
which rewards our giving
based in the noble art of service.
The whole universe obeys this principle
there will always be a perfect balance
and the noble and just actions
will never be forgotten.
All those ones who can give
will receive in proportion
to their intentions
generosity
and nobility.
The universe is loving of .....love
and this is the secret
for all spiritual achievement.
-77-
The spiritual path is filled with
dreams...expectations...and great hopes
All these are very important, significant and necessary,
but there is something
that has to complement all this desire to excel
which is:
Loving the work to be done
as a discipline of time and space.
It is there where in truth
the identity and the practical commitment
for spiritual achievement
so much desired
will be forged.
The accomplishment of spiritual experiences
such as:
Peace, control and abundant health
can't be only aspirations.
It is not only to close our eyes
nor to be filled with lovely ideas
but also...
It is dedication and commitment.
All this wonderful universe that surround us
is the product of a just equilibrium
in which we all learn to give and to receive.
Love will make us free and filled with wisdom
and to reach Love and Wisdom
one has to be patient, tolerant,
a worthy student in a practical way
of the sincere and true:
"Art of Living"
-78-
Hope....
experienced in the spiritual life...
is not something born out of desperation
neither is a last resource.
It is the natural blooming
of the inner behavior in man
who trusts in his/her Creator
and always puts the personal life
in the hands of True Love.
In this way
Hope
is a reality that defines with certainty
that God is present in every moment.
By meditating
on this knowledge
Life's Glory
is revealed
as the light in the dawn.
