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….

RohiniLove, Reflections, Uncategorized

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. We are no longer separate: all is perfect, all is one, and we perform all actions. Everything comes from Love and is Love. Once we lose our wrong understanding, we know …

The Holidays….

The Holidays. This time of year in the West we find a focus on one or two particular holidays, Christmas and New Year’s. However, throughout the world holidays are always arriving and subsiding. If we look at most major holidays, they have their roots in religion, in the focus on God. And yet the secular side of life has taken …

Correct or Right….

RohiniReflections, Stories and Occasions, Uncategorized

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 …

Risk….

Risk is no risk when you are an expert. How many times have we watched someone with great skill and believe that they are doing the impossible, when in fact they themselves feel it is no big deal? Yet when we are ignorant and act without skill, we are the ones risking. It is really dangerous, and it is out …

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. …

There is a difference….

RohiniMaps and Principles, Reflections, Uncategorized

There is a difference between being human and being a personality. As a human we use our personality to express our humanness. As a personality we hide our humanness and manifest our limited shrunken small selves as if they is who we really are. We manifest limited characters in a play with set scripts, set actions and no creativity. We …
