The Great Difference

For the true disciple of a Master, everything centres around the unspoken language of meditation.  But for the followers of religion, the focus of attention becomes the verbal teachings.  And therein lies a great difference.  For the one is a meal, the other only a recipe.  The one is travel, the other only a travel brochure.  The one is an experience, the other only a description.

In the absence of meditation leading to inner mystic experience, the teachings alone, however sublime and inspiring they may be, are only a shell.

Earth is Waking

“Earth is waking, day is breaking!

Fellow-toiler, bend thine ear;

Hear ye not the Angels speaking

Words of love and words of cheer?”

The Poor Widow Gave Everything She Had

"Jesus went over to the collection box in the Temple and sat and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. Then a poor widow came and dropped in two pennies. He called his disciples to him and said, "I assure you, this poor widow has given more than all the others have given. For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has."

Mark 12:41-44

If the Body Came into Being

If the body came into being because of consciousness that is a wonder, but if consciousness came into being because of the body this is a wonder of wonders.
