The world is ..
as large or as small…
as our own heart is…

It is mystery and charm, poetry and inspiration, wisdom of men, transmitting tranquility and in some way is what is closest to heaven :
The Music.

In a handful of sand there is the heart of a mountain; in a handful of sand, a hidden island; in a handful of sand the kiss of the sea; in a handful of sand, eternity is found.

~~~~~~~

In a drop of water, there is an ocean; in a grain of sand, a mountain; in a tear, a thousand feelings; in a smile, a thousand thanks. In the silence, everything that a word can say. Many mysteries and paradoxes because life starts to be lived by following the virtues.

Contemplative Art. For Reflection.

Science, tries to understand your mysteries but don’t find the explanation. It seems, to advance one step and to go back one thousand. With the only realization, that the universe, grows and grows, without end. Because, you are Lord God, the infinity without beginning and end. All creation fits, into your hands. There is no explanation since it goes beyond reason. Your creation, does not follow any law but your will. You create, out of Love, that is the reason, that science is like dust, in front of you, who are the Truth, the light, eternity itself.
 i contemplate You, in your infinity, with the humble devotion, of my poor heart.

How would it be if everything would have been different?

If everything would have been different

The stars would show during the day

The birds would leave their wings

The turtles would be as fast as the rabbits.

All this is so funny and unbelievable.

That is why I asked myself and I ask you:
How would it be if everything would have been different?

But it was not and nothing will change

But today I started thinking and had this crazy idea.

How would it be if everything would have been different?

 

The Wisdom of the Madman on Loneliness.

The townspeople got together with the learned men of the town to ponder over profound subjects. They were thinking that they knew a great deal compared to the others, that they were learned men and the rest were ignorant. And they decided to find a simple uncomplicated theme to see who could explain it better.And they decided to choose
” Loneliness”
Many eloquent speakers were attending and they spoke and spoke incessantly. They would speak with philosophical attitude and posture: ” Loneliness is a mountain, it is the winter cold. Loneliness is the depth of the sea.”
And they were applauded by many but in truth, they all wanted to be heard and applauded.
The turn finally came for the Madman, because his presence was always requested since they all wanted to make fun of him. And he said: ” The mountain is accompanied by the trees, by the light of the day and also by the stars. The depth of the sea is accompanied by the cold, by the fearsome darkness. The winter is accompanied by heavy coats, by the crying of old people and children who cannot find with what to cover themselves. Then, nothing of those to me is loneliness. To me, loneliness is to be here reunited with so many indifferent persons who do not want to listen to anybody but themselves. To me, that is loneliness, a world where union is not cultivated but its opposite.
“When the townspeople and learned men heard those words, they said: ” That man is crazy.”
And he answered: ” In truth, we all are lonely in this place.”

How to Overcome Self Limitations

Man’s largest limitation is self imposed. And is such a heavy chain that gives place to a self sentence. The only cause of this misfortune is apathy, boredom and lack of a responsible work. Every being posses wonderful talents. Nevertheless, when these talents are not cultivated, what is left is confusion and disgrace.
What is the reason that man does not have success? The explanation is hard and simple: Because he is hoping to get everything without doing any effort. One of the worse spiritual diseases is lack of interest and idleness, which are terrible and powerful destroyers of all good.
Who can harvest what he did not plant? Who can gather what he did not cultivated? What is the reason that man chains himself to misery?
Because, in principle he has been negligent, he has abandoned his responsibility and he has delegated in others. That is the reason that he has lost everything. But, we are not only referring to the strictly material, but to the essentially spiritual.
The misery and poverty of man, are like demons who corrupt and destroy. Where can we find effort, compassion, commitment, service, wisdom? In fact, we will not find anything. When there is no work, great care and effort, what can be reclaimed? What can be asked? Only that disgrace turns into total chaos.
What is the solution? A life committed in a more realistic way, where we find the need to produce, to give our best.
Can a father or a mother abandon his hungry child? There are many kind of hunger. But the spiritual hunger is the largest disgrace because it brings weakness and susceptibility that later on will bring man to the denial of peace and love.
We can’t confuse the term “poor in spirit” which clearly means-and is necessary to clarify-that a man does not have riches by himself, but that his riches are found in God. And this, of course, is absolutely true, correct and transcendental.
But when we talk about the “heaven of bronze,” we are referring to a lack of perspective in life. It is like watching a stranger or even a loved one without doing anything. We simply become passive in such absurd way and at the same time, we pretend to have everything, without giving anything in return. This is not possible and is not right. The whole humanity must participate with a healthy interest to develop. God has given us many abilities, and these are given not to be hidden, not to be chained, but to mature, refine, develop, preserve them with the objective of given glory to His Name. And truly foment in our heart and actions, the good that is correct, proper, intelligent, that has order and is practical. Otherwise, our world will lack what is most elemental.
We must develop our consciousness and turn it into a good work, otherwise we will be sorry. When we share the capacity that God has given us, we are glorifying Him. If we don’t have solidarity, we are an element that helps evil to extend. A good person, treasures dedication and effort. Becomes he is committed to the whole world in order not to be a burden but rather, to develop with a sense of energy and positive dynamism.
Poor is the man who thinking that he is astute, avoids effort and does not realize that what he really is doing, is a self denial of life. Let’s pray not to avoid effort and work, but let’s pray that the effort and work give fruits of peace, love and prosperity.

Impossible Love. For Reflection.

I love you but do you love me? I want you but do you want me?
Is this an impossible love, I asked myself and I took it to meditation and there I saw a flower that was dying of thirst, I saw a dark sky with not even a star, a desert with no water or life. And I thought: Love is like this flower that dies if not given to drink or like this night so dark where one cannot find the path because there is not even a star to guide. It can even be worse, like a desert with everything dead and where nobody can survive. Could it be that love is impossible? Then, a light came near me and without words said without saying:
” Love is so primordial and fundamental that existed before any being was born.”
Then, that light took me to see that the flower would die for lack of water and the light said without saying a word: ” Love is like that flower, if you don’t give it to drink, if you don’t take good care, if you don’t appreciate, then it will die for sure, but look, even if that flower dies, its essence will not die.” Then, I saw the dead flower but flying on top, I saw a beautiful and colorful flower, with bright colors and transmitting happiness.
Then, the light said without words:
“Now you can see its essence, which by being essence is sustained by a superior power which is more real now and death has not any power here. You saw the dark night with no stars but the next morning the sun will shine and there will be no darkness; you saw that desert where nothing could survive but if you travel beyond, there will be a rich and abundant oasis.
The impossible love does not exist because it will always be possible, it might not accept you, it might refuse, ignore, despise you. Nevertheless if it is true love it will be like the essence of the flower and nothing can extinguish it, nothing can ends it, nobody can humiliate it because love, love is eternal and there is no impossible because love is beyond the world and for that reason it is not ruled by its laws; love is beyond the answer, that love is free, pure, because in order to love is only necessary to Love.”

Gratitude and Prosperity. For Reflection.

The one who is rich and possess great things and treasures but does not share is really poor. And the one who has little but gives all from himself, is truly very rich.
There is an important art, which is very personal, great as science and deep as mystery. This is always alert and is the path of gratitude.
Every erudite and learned person becomes nobler, when he recognizes and surrenders, when he accepts and feels moved in front of life. It is the largest discipline of the power of knowledge because it unites matter, mind and spirit in one conception that crosses over the barrier or reason, exalting it until the shores of the beginning of creation. It is a torch of light in the darkness, crossing planes, dimensions, phantoms of desolation and ignorance.
Man is able to love God, to love life, peace and all the beings of the universe by the power inspired in the divine glory of been above all grateful. This will not be expressed by words but by works, which will turn the hands that edify and build into a true and powerful path. Because it unites all people, races, species, recognizing and joining them in the sensitive and excellent, exquisite essence of truly been a noble being. By virtue of recognizing the work of life and creation. It is the greatest manifestation of the Spirit : To be sincerely grateful.

The Heart of Stone.

The look of that person, speaks to me about a lost world, hurt feelings, deep confusions, a wounded heart.
It is a soul who goes around in the world, suffering and crying out that his heart is of stone. It does not want, not for a moment to sense what he feels. It is a force that burns, drowns and accuses. He surrenders in his heart to the greatest terrible expressions. And he says to himself: ” I do not want to feel, to live, I do not want that the most powerful force of the universe touches me with its light.
My past frustrations plunged me in the darkness, where, I have the security of the nothing. I have a heart of stone, which is harder than steel, colder than a universe of ice because I keep in it a secret, a secret of Love, which I want to contain, to trap, to asphyxiate because it reminds me that I have life, that there is blood under my skin, that the passion raises me, that the desire consumes me and the tenderness fascinates me. But I chain myself and at the same time, I escape. I fill myself with thorns, I surround myself with monsters and I get together with trash. And in this way, I allow to feel the dignity. I bury myself under everything and under nothing. I want to hide my face because I want to flee from True Love.
My heart is of stone, it has become hard and even in front of the powerful ones, its power is stronger because I do not want to let know that an angel of light inhabits inside.
My heart is of stone and to my surprise, it is a transparent diamond, where the light is reflected. This light liberates me of doubts and fears and I can no longer avoid it; this heart of stone is a heart of light. It is translucent and crystalline. I can’t avoid it since the tear of Love has penetrated deeply and only in it and through it, I will know the reality of my being. My heart is of stone, of a precious stone, which wants to surrender, you only have to come and look for it.”

 

Meditation in Action. Short Story. For Reflection.

The meditator opened his eyes after long hours of meditation and he saw the picture of a beautiful landscape in front of him. And he wondered: “How can I see this landscape and it cannot see me?” And he asked the picture:
“Why don’t you see me?”
And the picture answered: ” I do see you.”
“How can you see me if you don’t have eyes?” asked the meditator. And the picture said:
“I don’t need eyes to see you, I can see you anyway.”
“I don’t understand you” said the meditator.
And the picture said: “Close your eyes. And now you see me and I see you because there is no distance neither separation.”
The meditator, then, understood and knew that the picture had always been looking at him. And from that moment on, he understood that he could see. That everybody could see; and to remember, he only had to close his eyes. Since everyone was there:
The seer and the vision. The vision and the seer.
