"Marriage means unity on the physical, mental, and spiritual planes. If you attract others by spiritual magnetism then you will meet your soul companion. An ideal human marriage is the communion of two souls. But the soul finds the highest communion in God... 1/2

...Unless human love is spiritualized, it will be a canker in your soul. Unless you are spiritually-minded and your mate is the same, you can never be completely happy."

"Marriage between man and woman is for the purpose of each partner helping to uplift the other in a commitment of divine friendship, love, and loyalty that will move both souls closer to their true nature in the incarnation they share... 1/2

...And it further provides the medium and right environment to invite other souls seeking rebirth on earth to come into the circle of their expanding love." 2/2

"The world cannot become peaceful unless and until you yourself begin to work toward peace. Meditate often and hold on to the peaceful aftereffects. We must send out thoughts of love, goodwill, harmony."

World peace begins with your own spiritual search. As you raise your consciousness through prayer & meditation let God's light flow through you into the dark corners of the world & see the planet bathed in the blue light of healing peace cutt.ly/1ZC7KWG

Meditate often and hold on to the peaceful aftereffects. We must send out thoughts of love, goodwill, harmony. In the temple of meditation, with the light of intuition burning on the altar, there is no restlessness, no nervous striving or searching...

...Man is truly home at last, in a sanctuary not made with hands, but with God-peace."

The more you feel peace in meditation, the closer you are to God. He moves nearer and nearer to you the deeper you enter into meditation. The peace of meditation is the language and embracing comfort of God. Therefore, God is present right on the throne of peace within you...

...When you know God as peace within, then you will realize Him as peace existing in the universal harmony of all things without. 2/2

...They will feel, as we do now, that this world belongs to them; but one by one they too will all be taken away. Death must be good, otherwise God would not have ordained that it happen to everyone. Why live in fear of it?"

"Most of the people living on earth today were not here a hundred years ago. Others were here before us. And we who are now walking the streets of the world will not be here a hundred years hence. It will be all over for us, and the new generation will not give us a thought...

At the time of death a yogi reaches the Supreme Effulgent Lord if, with love and by the power of yoga, he fully penetrates his life force between the eyebrows (the seat of the spiritual eye), and if he fixes his mind unwaveringly on the Being... 1/2

...who, beyond all delusions of darkness, shines like the sun—the One whose form is unimaginable, subtler than the finest atom, the Supporter of all, the Great Ruler, eternal and omniscient. —The Bhagavad GitaVIII:9-10 --

“Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time.”

Beautiful story based on Divine love

Those who look at the surface of the sea must behold the birth and death of the waves, but those who seek the depths of the ocean behold one indivisible mass of water...
