"Let the beauty we love be what we

do"<br>--Jelaluddin Rumi<br><br>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*<br><br>There are

two kinds of intelligence.<br>One is like that

acquired by a child at school<br>from books and teachers,

new ideas and memorization.<br><br>Your intelligence

may become superior to others,<br>but retaining all

that knowledge is a burden.<br><br>You who are so busy

searching for knowledge<br>must be a preserving tablet, but

a preserved tablet<br>is the one who has gone

beyond all this.<br><br>For the other kind of

intelligence is the gift of God:<br>its fountain is deep

within the soul.<br><br>When the water of God-given

knowledge surges from the breast,<br>it never stagnates or

becomes impure.<br><br>And if its way to the outside is

blocked, what harm is there?<br>For it flows continually

from the house of the heart.<br><br>The acquired

intelligence is like conduits<br>Which run into the house from

the streets:<br>if those pipes become blocked, the

house is bereft of water.<br><br>Seek the fountain

within yourself.<br><br>--Jelaluddin

Rumi<br><br>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*<br><br>"The Twelve Signs of Inner Peace"

<br>(author unknown)

<br><br><br>Loss of interest in conflict.<br><br>Frequent attacks

of smiling.<br><br>Frequent overwhelming attacks of

appreciation.<br><br>Loss of desire to judge in judging

others.<br><br>Unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.<br><br>Tendency to

think and act spontaneously <br>rather than from fear

based on past experience.<br><br>Loss of interest in

interpreting the actions of others.<br><br>Loss of the ability

to worry (a serious symptom).<br><br>Contented

feelings of connectedness to others and

nature.<br><br>Increasing susceptibility to love extended by others <br>as

well as an uncontrollable urge to extend

it.<br><br>Increasing tendency to let things happen -<br>Rather than

make things happen<br><br>--Author Unknown <br>

<br>May your day be full of Krishna Consciousness!
