Don’t Waste Time….

RohiniMaps and Principles, Reflections, Uncategorized

Why do we waste our time with people, things, objects, etc. that only engage the small self? So we may keep our false identity. We will use anything to maintain our sense of self. So anything that can keep us distracted, away from God, away from our true Self, we will pursue. How sad that we are so attached to …

How many of us believe we have no agency, no voice? Now that is an ego that needs to crack. If we have no voice, then we have no responsibility for anything.

We Have to Crack….

RohiniPracticing, Reflections, Uncategorized

Whether we like it or not, in order to go to God we have to crack. What has to crack? We do. Who is we? Not who we are, but who we think we are. Why crack? Because the only way we are going to get to who we really are is to shatter our wrong understanding. The greatest delusion …

What Love Is….

Love is our nature. There is no object for this Love. We live in Love when we KNOW that all is us and we experience no difference from anything.

This is not about guns, though guns do make killing easier. These were six and seven year olds. Guns were not necessary. Small children are not a threat, and in no way can they fight back.

Correct or Right….

There is a difference between being correct—following protocol—and actually being right. Baba taught me to be okay even if no one talked to me or liked me. Yes, Baba taught me to be okay no matter what. How did he do that? In 1979, when Baba took the appointments secretary position away from me, people stopped talking to me. They …

Thank you….

RohiniReflections, Stories and Occasions, Uncategorized

Whatever God does He does for good. So say thank you. Yes, say thank you. When things go “wrong”, say thank you. When things go “right”, say thank you. We are actors in a play. Stop complaining about the scene in which you are playing. First, the part was designed specifically for you; second, the lines are up to you. …

Grace….

RohiniMaps and Principles, Reflections, Uncategorized

There’s so much talk about Grace. Born again, Pentecost, Yoga, New Age, from every corner we hear this word used. What is Grace? For me, Grace is knowing who I really am.
