Joy starts with YOU – not with your relationships, job, or money. #GMfaves Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

If the work you do today does not bring you Joy, your work is to bring Joy to it.
Feel this river of Joy while you work.
The river of Joy was already there,
and then It seems to appear as you doing work.
So today, for the first time,
you're remembering the river while you work,
feeling the river while you work,
being the river while you watch the work.
Wherever you are, wherever you go, you bring the Joy.
You bring the party.
You don't go somewhere to have fun.
'I' is the fun!
You become aware of the Joy (of the 'I') in that place,
beyond the appearance of that place,
and so you can become aware of Joy in any place,
including your workplace.
I Love you ,

"My heart, flows like a river to the sea,
may it always be,
may it always be.
A river of Grace flows through me,
may it always be,
may it always be."
-Jahnavi Harrison from the song, "Like a River"
"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy."
-Rumi

"Constant repetition of God's name , even without feelings of Devotion, in anger or lethargy , brings out His Grace. Once this is realized, there is no room for misgivings."
-Maharajji
"Whistle while you twerk." - The Yin Yang Twins
"In this life, we learn how to flow with the river, and stop fighting with the rocks."
-Lauren London
"Flow of Grace." - Krishna Das

"When we no longer search for the peace that the world can give, but seek only "my peace," the gates of consciousness open to admit the spiritual light which becomes the life of our being and our body. Many people desire spiritual power in order to enjoy more harmonious experiences. Their purpose in seeking God usually is to enjoy more and better earthly things, to catch larger fish in their nets bigger fish, better fish. But the basis of our work is to "leave your nets," to leave this search for more and better human good and open consciousness to the spiritual realities. Then the things which come to us in the outer world are the fruits of an inward grace. Grace can only be attained by a state of inner silence, a state of inner awareness and receptivity; therefore it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves for the experience of receiving that grace. This is the whole purpose of meditation."

-Joel Goldsmith, "The Art of Meditation" (Chapter 2, The Purpose)

"While the mind sees only boundaries, Love sees the secret way there."
-Rumi
"To heal is to touch with Love that which was previously touched by fear."
-Stephen Levine

"One of the Hebrew words for "humble" is ani. It means "circumstantial humility." It's used in the Old Testament when someone suffers or has been afflicted. They find themselves in a lowly position physically, materially and socially.
Ani often leads to anav, another Hebrew word, which relates to humble character. Over and over in the Old Testament, God shares how He cares for the humble. He guides the anav, as Psalm 25:9 says: "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way". He crowns the anav with victory. (Psalm 149:4) He encourages the anav. (Psalm 34:2) The reward? The anav inherit the land. (Psalm 37:11)
Pastor Dave Adamson writes, "The Hebrew word 'avanah' is translated as 'humility: But an expanded translation would be to occupy our God-given space. Humility is not just avoiding overstepping our boundaries, but it's also being sure we step into them!'
According to Adamson, an expanded translation of "humility" is "to occupy our God-given space." When the assigned space God has given us feels too large and we feel too small, we are forgetting that the Creator God assigned us there. No space is too large for Him, and no assignment is too hard."

Show notes

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
-Wiki
(even though Rama has two syllables, the second 'a' isn't pronounced, listen to Maharajji chanting Rama, here).
Keep an AirPod in on low volume.
Even when you're at work listening to the 'illusory struggle',
you'll have one ear in the Kingdom, on Truth, at all times.
"It's all illusion except the Name of the Lord."
-Ramayana
"All sorrow is due to the fact that many are seen where there is only One."

"Chant Hare Krsna Mantra Sixteen Times--Please!

So people are so rascal, they will not even chant Hare Krsna mantra. So Krsna is teaching. Krsna is so kind. He's personally teaching. That is, perform yajña. He's personally chanting, dancing, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Personally, He's teaching us, "Perform this yajña you rascal, and you'll get everything. You'll get everything." Now, where is the proof? The proof is this Krsna consciousness movement. We are simply chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra and spending millions of rupees. Simply. What we are doing? We are not doing any business. We have not many professional men.

But why we are getting ..? We are spending eight hundred thousand rupees per month. And we have got food, we have got milk. We are feeding others also, bringing food. So why don't you see practically how these Krsna conscious people are fabulously rich. This question was raised in Parliament also. So how we became fabulously rich? We do not do anything. I have not taught you anything magic. I simply request you, "Chant Hare Krsna mantra sixteen times- please!!" But you are not even following that. This is the only remedy."
-(Lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.8.18 /Mayapura, September 28, 1974)

Hope Floats #GMweekends Apr 23, 2023

Show notes

In this parade of life, you're watching as everything is coming to you.
Your destiny.
That goal.
That version of you you want to be...
It's all in the parade line.
You may not be able to see it yet, but it's coming.
You're on the route,
and it's en route.
You can't miss it.
Relax.
Enjoy your Self.
Smile.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
"Regard the sensations of life as an endless parade. You are Awareness seated at the reviewing stand, and the parade of sensations, actions, and thoughts is passing before you. This perspective will keep you from getting caught up in any particular entry..."
-Bob Pilato
"The finest emotion of which we are capable of is the mystic emotion... here in lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear, is a dead man... This knowledge, this feeling... this is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men."
-Albert Einstein via The Supreme Awakening I (highly recommended book of awakening stories by Craig Pearson, PhD)
"Mystic comes from the Greek word 'to close'; your eyes, your ears, presumably to dive within and experience the 'germ of all art and true science'."
-Craig Pearson, The Supreme Awakening
"It takes a special kind of commitment to do what you're doing. To commit to the growth of your mind, the health of your body, the expansion of your soul, and the fruition of your purpose. One step at a time because that next step may be the one that helps you round the corner on something big in your life. At times it's hard to keep the momentum, but you always seem to find a way to get it going. No matter what. And that's where progress lies. That's where your commitment to your Self becomes your Truth.

Spend All of Your Time With God, and God Will Take Care of You #GMweekends Apr 22, 2023

Show notes

You spend time with God by listening.
Think of that image of Dolores from Disney's 'Encanto', with her hand up to her ear. That.
Just listening.
This listening is continuous,
that's mediation.
When you're listening you're not thinking,
that's meditation.
And then in the quiet listening,
Love is felt.
You hear God's silence, and then you feel God's Love.
You're gifted His Peace,
and then you notice that that too, is continuous!
No matter what comes (or goes), this Peace stands.
All you have to do is remember to listen for the feeling of Peace,
and then that Peace dissolves everything that isn't Peace...
help comes,
because God is.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"...continuous reaching toward the center of our being, will eventually result in the experience of the Christ. In that moment, we discover the mystery of spiritual living: We do not have to take thought for what we shall eat, what we shall drink, or wherewithal we shall be clothed; we do not have to plan; we do not have to struggle. only Christ can live our life for us, and we meet the Christ within ourselves in meditation. The degree to which we attain the experience or activity of the Christ, the presence of the Spirit of God in us, determines the degree of individual unfoldment."
-by Joel S. Goldsmith via Practicing the Presence, Chapter 7

"I am the spaces between my thoughts."
-via @daytohaveaday via IG
“If a man wants to be used by God, he cannot spend all of his time with people.”

Placing God's Name within your Heart, everything becomes easy and successful. Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

Once you know who you are, all you see is Beauty.
All you see is Love,
even in the ugliest places,
you find the Light,
and you magnify the Light.
In the Bible, Jesus' mother, Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for God has looked with favor on the lowliness of the Almighty’s servant.
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is God’s name."*
Keep that Name burning in your heart, today.
As long as you stay aware of It,
even just the feeling of It,
or the silence of It,
you won't meet with anything that's not of It.
I Love you,
Nik

The Gift You Are #GMfaves Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

Ram Dass said, ‘I Am Loving Awareness.’
And in this moment, you are Loving Seeing.
Loving the seeing, itself.
Feel Love for the seeing of these words.
If you were to close your eyes, you would feel Love for the seeing of the darkness.
Feel Love while seeing.
Feel Love AS the seeing.
Silent-Seeing unsees problems.
Silent-Seeing unsees lack.
Silent-Seeing is your gift.
The gift You are.
I Love you,

Today's Quotes:
"Imagine a month of Sundays
Each one a cloudy day
Imagine the moment the sun came shining through
Imagine that ray of sunshine as you
Remember your darkest hour
With dawn still far away
Remember the way that you longed for morning's light
And think of yourself as a candle in the night
Make believe this is the first day
Everything all brand new
Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star
And then understand the kind of gift you are
The gift you are
Like the very first breath of Spring
The gift you are
All the joy that love can bring
The gift you are
All of our dreams come true
The gift you are
The gift of you
You are the promise of all the ages
You are the Prodigal Son
You are the vision of prophets and sages
You are the only one
Dream of a bright tomorrow
Know that your dream will come true
Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar
Then you will know the kind of gift you are
The gift you are
Like the very first breath of Springtime
The gift you are
All the joy that love can bring
The gift you are
All of our dreams come true, yes they do
The gift you are
The gift of you
The gift you are
The gift of you"
-John Denver, 'The Gift You Are'
(Never heard that song before, and only know of John Denver, but while trying to brainstorm a title along the lines of 'you are a gift', AFTER recording, AFTER editing, AFTER uploading, I bumped into these lyrics and swooned! Serendipity at its finest.)
"If you feel drained, tired or pulled in multiple directions, it's time to pause and breathe. Choose yourself for the rest of the month. Choose your happiness and purpose. Every person around you benefits from you being your highest self- give yourself what you need to thrive."
-@SylvesterMcNutt via IG
"It's in the Silence where you will receive the message."
-Robert Adams
"Where Truth is (and there is nowhere It is not), there is no problem at all. Where there 'appears' to be a problem, believe me, if you start' with Truth only, you will suddenly discover there is no problem, for a problem only could be where Truth is not."
-Aiken
"I Am Loving Awareness."
-Ram Dass
