Loosen up my friend
You’ve got your grip
On that steering wheel
So hard
But do you really know?
Your destination.

Mic Jaggar and many other artists not shy about there political views and using their songs for political promotion.

I feel quite fortunate to be in the presence of two human beings i have thought were enlightened Masters. Having someone like Amma or Brother Bhaktananda respond to your questions can be quite revealing. Amma responded with a laugh and said; “You think about it and decide for yourself.” And another time; “You have the key.”

Brother Bhaktananda was more explicit. However I cannot say that my appreciation for their responses to my questions were any better from one to the other. Their response just had a different affect on me. Amma’s was joyful and she responded with a laugh. Brother Bhaktananda was reverence to the Guru and the answers were quite matter of fact.

Amma says that some currencies are more valuable than others and unlike currency used in some small countries - that are not recognized around the world -  gold is also recognized this way. Likewise meditation and spiritual practice with the thought of doing so for a divine purpose has a value that will never be lost.

We become like a lamp in a dark case whose windows are covered with soot. It serves as a reminder to be watchful  of our words thoughts and actions. We may become forgetful but our conscious will always be watching.

‘Sometime back there was an experiment. It was found that a tree would start shivering when we might casually pluck a leaf or cut a twig. A tree can feel it.’
