Love this one. If you don’t follow the original poster, I recommend you do. Their posts give me something to think about every day.

All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening: but none will go without food.

I’m seeing this as well. I get new followers and check their accounts and they are just re-posted political posts and articles that only go back a couple of days.

Funny how you don’t even need to say who and we all know.

A Christianity that is known for its cruelty is a Christianity that no longer knows Christ.

We’re watching the news with our hearts in our mouths. May this ceasefire in Gaza hold—may food and medicine pour in, children dance again, hostages return, and peace take root with justice and accountability.
Om Shanti.

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”

Where there is attachment, let it go!
Just letting go, we are entirely free.

I want Mike Johnson to swear-in the newest member of congress.

I often see God in just quick flashes of things whether it be the sun glinting off the wet grass, the sun shining on a leaf or the eyes of a stranger. The more I keep God in my heart the more often this seems to happen. Jai Sri Krishna.

In these difficult times you may feel that it is helpful
To be sharp and critical with aggressive people around you.
This approach will just be a source of distress and confusion for you.
Speak calmly – that’s my sincere advice.

It comes down to how we view it from within, I think.

I must ask, why are so many American Christians silent as Trump and Co. make a mockery of their faith and weaponize it against the very people Jesus told them they should love and bless?

Practicing spiritual disciples is not a loss of freedom. It’s instead gives you freedom. Do not see your Sadhana, or spiritual practices, as a hardship. See them as a key to greater life and freedom.

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.

Hindu Wisdom @hinduwisdom.bsky.social · 3d

There is no weapon more powerful in achieving the truth than acceptance of oneself.

We tend to think that the thinking, discursive mind is our highest faculty. What we must remember is the mind is a tool; a wonderful tool, however, above it we still have undifferentiated consciousness and the Self. Let the mind work as a aid but don’t forget there is so much more to you.

“Every soul is destined to be perfect, and every being, in the end, will attain the state of perfection. Whatever we are now is the result of our acts and thoughts in the past; and whatever we shall be in the future will be the result of what we think and do now.”
-Swami Vivekananda
