Tagore - Mùa hái quả 2



My life when young was like a flower--a flower that loosens a petal or two from her abundance and never feels the loss when the spring breeze comes to beg at her door.
Now at the end of youth my life is like a fruit, having nothing to spare, and waiting to offer herself completely with her full burden of sweetness.


 

Tuổi thanh xuân
Em như bông hoa 
Tràn đầy hương sắc
Gió thì thầm bên cửa
Em nhờ đưa hương đi.

Giờ em là trái chín

Với mọng nước ngọt ngào
Trong em tràn nhựa sống
Luôn sẵn sàng tuôn chảy 
Vào cuộc sống mến thương.

Being True


Let that which we love.
be what we do.
Do not live other people’s dreams,
A rock is not water.
Be true to your essence.
Only you is you.

Just Try


T hankfulness is the oil that makes life run smoothly.
R egrets are a foolish waste of time.  
Y ou are the one who ultimately decides what your life will be.

Breathing In and Out


In and out goes the breath.
Thump, thump goes the beat of the heart.
Life is just this simple.
The more you add, the harder it gets.
Simplify your life. Breath. Be.


I Am My Choices


Today is mine to shape,
to live each moment with
deliberateness, to choose
what to do, how I want to
feel, who will be part of
this day. Will I design and
live each moment as I choose,
or will I let circumstances
determine how this day unfolds?
Will I turn my power over to
others or remain firm in my
decision to live my life on
my own terms?

I am my choices.
I am my dreams.
I AM

Above Reason


Some truths are above reason.
When we think with only our
mind and ignore the guidance
of our heart, we will fail to
perceive ancient wisdom that
is above the logic of our limited
reality and senses. These truths
can be warped by men through
ignorance and greed, but when
we access them through the
Light within, they ring with
crystal clarity.

Yellow Brick Road


Receiving vessel knows only how
to be open to receive. It does so
with a moment of pleasure, followed
by a longing for more. Nothing can
fill this vessel for it is made to receive,
thus its nature is to always need more.

Then one day, it observed a bestowing
vessel happily pouring bounty everywhere.
“Are you happy?” the receiver asked, “or
would you sometimes like to receive?”
The bestower looked startled, “Why, it’s
true that I sometimes wonder what it is like
to receive. But how can one change one’s
nature?” The receiver nods, “I, too, wonder
what it would be like to bestow.”

Thus they decided to walk
the yellow brick road
to find the answer.

Power of Observation


Observing is a form of power,
a subtle power. Our observation
changes behavior in oneself
and in others.

Quantum physics demonstrates this,
but so does life. Note what changes
when you are consciously observing.
Consider how one can use observation
to promote change.

Secrets do not need to exist
where truth is spoken.

Deep Prayer


There is a prayer that
is so profound that words,
supplications are not needed.
Deep prayer is a firm connection
that takes us directly to the
heart of Source. As we become
immersed in the pure love energy,
our “I” becomes so totally “we”
that no conscious communication
is necessary. We are the words,
the prayer, that which we seek.
We are the Thou.
