Kingdom of Mother Sai Date: 05 February 1981 / Location: Anantapur When man makes mind his master It burdens him, worse than any beast; When man makes buddhi his master It raises him, high as Lord of the Living. Will the good, and you are happy. Will the bad, and you are sad and lost. Don't will at all, and be at peace This is the Truth, the Word of Sai. Embodiments of the Divine Atma, Teachers and Students, Man has achieved immeasurable progress in science and technology. But, in the field of morals, he is still unable to rid himself of narrow cynicism, limited outlook, and the demonic hold of selfishness, pride, envy and other evil traits. When we examine the basic cause for this state of affairs, we discover that it is the consequence of egoism that has struck deep roots in the heart of man. It has reduced man to the status of a puppet. It pollutes his thoughts, words and deeds. It directs him to gather and hoard material riches. It does not allow the Atma to shine forth. When the veil of egoism is set aside, the Athmic Essence, and with it anandha and jnana, will be revealed. Time is invaluable; do not waste even half a minute. The hours that have passed cannot return; the wheel of time will not halt for any person. So, examine your thoughts, words and deeds and find out whether spending precious time on them is worth while or not. Death is always waving its sharp sword over the head but, unmindful of this imminent and inescapable fate, many are lost in plans to build rich, prosperous and luxurious lives for themselves. They live in hope and dreams of better days. The Fire of Wisdom alone is capable of reducing these plans and hope into ash. Education must broaden the vision You are striving to gain education in this College in order to earn your livelihood. But, it is very hard to earn riches, to use them rightly and to keep them safe. When riches accumulate, pomp and pride become more insidious. As a result, one's character is lowered. Vemana says that when one loses wealth, his bad qualities also become too weak to hurt him and

  • First Reformed
    FIRST REFORMED Written by Paul Schrader 1 EXT. FIRST REFORMED - CEMETERY - DAY 1 TOLLER, early 40's, a cleric, dressed in a worn black clerical garb like a small town judge, tends the historic cemetery of historic First Reformed Church, upstate New York, his face like a half rubbed away engraving on those tombstones, revealed in degrees of shadow. His angular body lists to the right, as if resisting weight. He is in Agony. And he writes. TOLLER STARTS A JOURNAL Still images of First Reformed Church, Snowbridge, New York, and environs: --A yellow on blue iron historical marker reads: “First Reformed Church, Organized 1752, Built 1765. Occupied 1776 by New York Provisional Congress. Station in Underground Railway 1845 to 1850. Placed on National Register of Historical Places. State of New York Education Department, 1934.” --A Dutch colonial spired church built on a fieldstone foundation under a low fluorescent sky against a mountain ridge. --Oft painted door jambs, slightly askew. --An ancient churchyard lined with weathered grey and uneven tombstones. A faded inscription reads: “...in memory of Effie Vei Planck Born 16 of February 1737 and Departed this Life November...” CUT TO: 2 INT. PARSONAGE - DEN - NIGHT 2 A hand writes in a black flecked composition notebook. We hear what the writer writes: TOLLER (V.O.) I have decided to keep a journal. Not in a word program or a digital file, but in longhand, writing every word out so that every inflection of penmanship is recorded, every word chosen, scratched out, revised to set down all my thoughts... In a background an unaccompanied keyboard plays, “Pass Me Not (O Gentle Savior).” ...and the simple events of my day factually and without hiding anything.

  • Science Proven Principles to Enhance Mental Clarity, Increase Inspiration, and Live a 7 Meaningful Life
    A guide for optimizing your brain's performance so you can become the best you! Become Extraordinary! Science proven principles to enhance mental clarity, increase inspiration, and live a 7 meaningful life. BY BERNADETTE MARIE WILSON MBA, CERTIFIED NEURO COACH AND INSPIRATION THOUGHT LEADER A guide for optimizing your brain’s performance so you can become the best you! By Bernadette Marie Wilson, MBA Certified NeuroCoach and Inspiration Thought Leader Copyright © 2018 by Bernadette Marie Wilson All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, without prior written permission. Preface Engagement in certain restorative activities has now been scientifically proven to increase mental clarity and foster inspiration in the practitioner. Through years of discovery and practice, I have identified the seven essential elements required for optimal personal enhancement and success. Each of the seven topics are individually required for optimal performance, and each is worthy of immediate adoption for all who aspire to improve their creativity and cognitive capacity. My research has also led me to understand that when these seven principles are collectively woven together and incorporated into one’s life, as a bundle, inspiration, and success are the inevitable outcomes. It is almost like an irresistible milieu fostering clarity of purpose envelopes those who practice these seven steps in concert. I have also researched the evidentiary base that underlies these principles; and, have discovered techniques to accelerate understanding, and developed tools that promote a more rapid adoption of these habits into one’s daily life. I have previously taught these principles to corporate executives, professional pilots, physicians, nurses, attorneys, writers, musical artists, and elite athletes.
