Love Should be Your Rule

I found this in an old email of mine. Thought it's really a short but good article. I don't know who wrote it. It's so true and Shri Mataji always tell us to love.

Love Should Be Your Rule

If there's a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: Love. It might sound corny, I know … but trust me, there's no betterrule in life.

Some would live by the rule of success. Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow.

Others would live by the rule of selfishness — putting their needs above those of others. They will live lonely lives, and will also be unhappy.

Still others will live by the rule of righteousness — trying to show the right path, and admonishing anyone who doesn't live by that path. They are concerned with others, but in a negative way, and in the end will only have their own righteousness to live with, and that's a horrible companion.

Live your life by the rule of love. Love your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, with all of your heart. Give to them what they need, and show them not cruelty nor disapproval nor coldness nor disappointment, but only love. Open your soul to them.

Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors … your coworkers … strangers … your brothers and sisters in humanity. Offer anyone you meet a smile, a kind word, a kind gesture, a helping hand.

Love not only neighbors and strangers … but your enemy. The person who is cruelest to you, who has been unkind to you … love him. Heis a tortured soul, and most in need of your love.

And most of all, love yourself. While others may criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you're ugly or dumb or unworthy of love … but to think instead that you are a wonderful human being, worthy of happiness and love … and learn to love yourself for who you are.

Have you look at Shri Mataji's bindi before?

The red dot on Her forehead? We looked at Her beautiful face a lot but how often do we look at Her bindi? Past few days have been a struggle for me to get by. I can't seem to think properly and having a tough time trying to rationalise and be balance. It's not because of the recent happenings. It has been accumulating from many, many nights before that. Attention was all over the place. I lost control of myself. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know how to move on. I felt a little lost. I think and think and think. I tired myself out and finally declared that it's fatigue. Last night, decided to pull myself together. Sat in front of Shri Mataji's photo and just looked at Her big, round red bindi. At first it was difficult. Eyes wandering. Then after some time, it was much better. I managed to focus. That's when a realisation came to me and I got all the answers fo...

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

I started the matka pot treatment last night. Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment. Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights). Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies. Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk). I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo. Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities. Then place it on the left side of the bed. I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on ...
