[Jitendra Hydonus]

You can have all good things - wealth, friends, kindness, love to give and love to receive - once you have learned not to be blinded by them, learned to escape from disappointment, and from repugnance at the idea that things are not as you want them to be. ~
     Bowl of Saki, May 1, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

I think that some us become acquainted with the fact that unlike much of the rest of the population who learn by bitter experiences alone....there emerges patterns in our lives. Those patterns are often orchestrated by forces higher then ourselves. This is when we learn that we have gurus helping us in this school house called life....and guiding us towards enlightenment.

Quote from Eric;

I am posting yesterday's saki. I found this to be one of the most important lessons for me right now. I am blown away by how aligned I am with the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan and how I came to discover Sufism in the first place. It is curious to me how I do not give more importance to the synchronistic experience's that strengthen faith in an unseen intelligent force. Here's to raising awareness. And on to the lesson....

"GOD TALKS WITH ARJUNA" THE BHAGAVAD GITA ~ ॐ ~  (Day 66.) Sat.  5th May, 2018 . Chapter  3, Verse:- 28-31 ~ Pages: 392-398. ~ॐ ~
"KARMA YOGA:~ 'THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL ACTION." ~ ॐ ~
       THE YOGI NOT ONLY RELINQUISHES EGOTISM during the all-surrendering union (Yoga) of mind BLISS - in MEDITATION, but during ORDINARY wakeful ACTIVITY AS WELL.  In the highest state of ECSTASY - the Yogi can REMAIN united TO SPIRIT  even while working with mind and body - to carry out the DIVINE PLAN.  By engaging with DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS in ALL of his ACTIVITIES, the DEVOTEE is FREE of EGOTISTIC LIMITATIONS during wakefulness, as in the ordinary Man during sleep.
