If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
Mind is like an ocean - stormy at the surface, calmest in the depths.
Appreciate fully what you are eating, enjoy it fully, breathing and smelling the aroma to add to the taste, chewing slowly and well, to taste more and to digest better. Discover the subtleties of taste. Gently keep bringing the wandering mind back to tasting fully what you’re eating. Feel the difference! Give thanks for the chance to be able to enjoy what you eat.
To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
“Make your offering,” said the Master. “As you make it be pleased in mind. Make your mind completely calm and contented. Focus and fill the offering-mind with the giving. From this secure position you can be free from ill will.”
With all fears dissolved in the peace of the Self and all desire dedicated to Brahmn, controlling the mind and fixing it on Me (God), sit in meditation with Me as your only goal.
