In the silent stillness of the soul,
In the peaceful action of the nature,
In the free space of the universe,
Is the place of divine existence of THEE .

In the divinity within and without,
In the quietness of the mind,
in the loving energy of silence,
I discover the divinity in you and ME.

It’s time to leave the busy-ness,
It’s time to retreat in the inner space,
It’s time to embrace the vast,
It’s time to expand the boundary.

Good morning,
Birth is for the body.
Those who use their body, mind, and spirit to walk on the path towards light, become Enlightened.
They illuminate the path for everybody to follow their own journey towards enlightenment.
HE became a true Nobody merging HIMself in Everybody.
To that great master we surrender.
Today on Poojya Guruji’s birthday, we remind ourselves with
Our Pledge
We have a great task ahead of us.
The commitment we have to our own lives and to the lives of everyone around us.
This can only be accomplished by focusing on ourselves, not by focusing on the task.
To allow ourselves to be truly happy and useable. People can only use useable material.
We don’t ask them to use us or our teaching.
We shall allow ourselves to be used by truly being ourselves and enjoying each moment as if it was the last.

We pledge to give nothing but our best.
This includes our love, our possessions, our word, our honor, our citizenship and ourselves.
We do not do this to elevate ourselves above others or to belittle ourselves.
We do this recognizing that it is the opportunity to discover the best in us.

My only true personal gain is discovering the best in me; to discover my ability to be with everyone and everything around me.
This is my best, my path, my goal.

I represent life. No one is higher or lower than me. No one is more valuable than another.
I will not make anyone my slave, nor will submit as a slave to any one.
In true partnership I shall discover myself in you, in everyone.
This is my pledge.
This is my pledge.
