Christ didn't have to. Buddha didn't have to. They came back to teach. They came back to die, to suffer, when it was no longer necessary for them to do so.

If you are fortunate enough to meet such a being then you will really learn selfless giving. You'll see that every second, every moment of their awareness is directed towards others.

Karma, Yoga, Selfless Giving

You can tell a person's level of spiritual devlopment simply by watching how much they give.

The true hallmark of how advanced a person is, is how they treat those around them. Not simply what they say or what they preach, but the results they generate, how kind they are.

Karma, Spiritual, Yoga

Meidtation and selfless giving must always go together. They work together to create immortality.

Karma, Yoga, Selfless Giving

Meditation without selfless giving is not enough. You may go into very high states of consciousness but the rough edges will still be there - there may be lots of selfish motives lurking within the self - that you don't see.

Karma, Selfish, Yoga

Selfless giving is friendliness. An attitude towards life, a reverence for life. It is one of the highest of all ways.

Eternity, I don't know what's right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what's right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I'm going to do is give my life to you.

Karma, Yoga, Giving

Giving my life to you may mean leading a very ordinary life or it may mean leading an extraordinary life. It may mean having a family and a career or it may mean going beyond all that to just work for others. It's hard to say. Rather than making a decision myself, I'm going to give my life to you, to do with as you will, because I know that you are my self, you are my very being.

Karma, Yoga, Mean

When this life ends, I will be absorbed back into you. I have come forth from you . You are all good and you know all that there is. So please act in me and through me at every moment and every second. Let me be but an extension of your being. Teach me how to live and love selflessly, at all times.

Karma, Yoga, Self Love

The study of enlightenment is really a reorganization of our perceptual body or our perceptual field. We learn to see life more directly and more clearly.

Enlightenment, Reorganization, Body

To become completely aware is the journey of enlightenment. There is pain in it and suffering. But you already have those things so it doesn't really matter.

Pain, Journey, Suffering

The pathway to enlightenment is joyful. It may sound harsh. I suggest just the opposite. It is rather easy compared to the possibilities of staying in pain and illusion.

Pain, Opposites, Enlightenment

If you think of spiritual practice as unpleasant work - it is not spiritual practice as I know it.

Taken, Challenges, Training
