Gandhi's Prayer for Peace

I offer you peace.
I offer you love.
I offer you friendship.
I see your beauty.
I hear your need.
I feel your feelings.
My wisdom flows from the Highest Source.
I salute the Source in you.
Let us work together for unity and love.

How fortunate the man with none, by Bertolt Brecht

 

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people's noble son.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve our bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Unde sunt cei ce nu mai sunt?, de Nechifor Crainic



Intrebat-am vantul, zburatorul
Bidiviu pe care-alearga norul
Catre-albastre margini de pământ:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?

Zis-a vantul: Aripile lor
Mă doboara nevazute-n zbor.

Intrebat-am luminata ciocarlie,
Candela ce legana-n tarie
Untdelemnul cantecului sfant:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?

Zis-a ciocarlia: S-au ascuns
In lumina celui nepatruns.

Intrebat-am bufnita cu ochiul sferic,
Oarba care vede-n intuneric
Tainele necuprinse de cuvant:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?

Zis-a bufnita: Când va cadea
Marele-ntuneric, vei vedea

Freedom, by George William Russell

I will not follow you, my bird,
I will not follow you.
I would not breathe a word, my bird,
To bring thee here anew.

I love the free in thee, my bird,
The lure of freedom drew;
The light you fly toward, my bird,
I fly with thee unto.

And there we yet will meet, my bird,
Though far I go from you
Where in the light outpoured, my bird,
Are love and freedom too.

Smoke, by Pat Ingoldsby

I don't know where
smoke goes to when
it dissapears
but I would love
to go there
right now to see
what it is like.
I think that it
must be O.K.
because the smoke
never comes back.

The bells, by Leonard Cohen




The birds they sang at break of day
Start again, I heard them say
Nor dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be.

The wars they will be fought again
The holy dove be caught again
Bought and sold and bought again
Until we set them free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
The light behind to see.

Add up the parts, not yours the sum
Strike up the march, there is no drum
Every heart to love must come
Like a refugee

Despre iubiri

Buna seara, iubito!..pot sa-ti spun prin cuvinte ca putine mai sunt pe pamant lucruri sfinte, Ca intra iubiri prematur in morminte...

There is but one God. True is His Name, creative His personality and immortal His form. He is without fear sans enmity, unborn and self-illumined. By the Guru's grace He is obtained.
Exista dar un singur Dumnezeu. Adevarat este Numele Sau, creativa personalitatea sa si nemuritoare forma Sa. El este cel fara teama fara dusmanie, nenascut si auto-iluminat. El este dobandit prin voia/gratia Guru-lui.
jap.
Embrace His meditation.
Imbratisati meditatia sa.

aad sach jugaad sach.
True in the prime, True in the beginning of ages,
Adevar inainte de toate, Adevar la inceputul vremurilor,

hai bhee sach naanak hosee bhee sach.
True He is even now and True He verily, shall be, O Nanak!
Adevarat este chiar acum si Adevarat va fi, oh, Nanak!

sochai soch naa hov-a-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.
By pondering on God, man cannot have a conception of Him, even though he may ponder over lacs of times.
Gandind la Dumnezeu, omul nu il poate concepe pe El, chiar daca se gandeste de-a lungul veacurilor.

chupai chup naa hov-a-ee jay laa-i rahaa liv taar.
Even though one be silent and remains absorbed in Lord's constant love he obtains not mind's silence.
Chiar daca omul ramane tacut si ramane absorbit de iubirea constanta a lui Dumnezeu, el nu obtine linistea (Pacea) mintii.

bhukhi-aa bhukh naa utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar.
The hunger of the hungry departs not, even though they may pile up loads of the world's valuables.
Foamea infometatilor nu trece, chiar daca acestia isi fac stive cu valorile lumii.

sehas si-aanpaa lakh hoh taa ik naa chalai naal.
Man may possess thousands and lacs of wits, but not even one (goes with him) avails him in the Lord's court.
Omul poate poseda bogatii nemasurate, dar nici macar una nu il insoteste la curtea Domnului

kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal.
How can we be true and how can the screen of untruth be rent?
Cum putem avea dreptate si cum poate imaginea neadevarului sa fie sfasiata?


hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal.
O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will.
O, Nanak! Supunandu-ne, la ordinea predestinata a vointei Domnului.

India Arie - Video

By God's will I came across a song that I think was created for me! It is the song I will always listen when I'm confused, when I feel the world being against me. It's a song about colors, about love, about love for the self and therefore, for others.




Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the
india arie

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
but,Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicone I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arie

Faith, Love, Hope, by Gurdjieff

Faith of consciousness is freedom
Faith of feeling is weakness
Faith of body is stupidity.


Love of consciousness evokes the same in response
Love of feeling evokes the opposite
Love of body depends on type and polarity.


Hope of consciousness is strength
Hope of feeling is slavery
Hope of body is disease.


Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, p. 361 (found in: An approach to the teaching left by Gurdjieff, Toward Awakening, Jean Vaysse, p. 1)
