[Daily Sutra] Whirlwind of Mind

 

Not one storm can be there for all time. It is impossible. They

come and

they subside. And another comes, it subsides. Another comes, its

subsides. You mind is like a wirlwind. But, the whirlwind of mind

subsiding, cooling down---that is your true nature, that is Love.

TECHNOLOGY

 

The purpose of technology is to harness nature to bring information

and comfort to human beings. When spiritual values - human values -

are ignored and

 

neglected, instead of bringing comfort, technology brings fear and

destruction.

 

Technology without human values would see nature as a dead object.

Science gives an insight into the life of nature and spirituality

makes the nature come alive.

 

For example, in the eyes of children, there is nothing dead in the

world - animals, trees, the sun and the moon - they all have life,

they all have emotions, they all have feelingsʼnn the eyes of a

stressed and ignorant person, even human beings are like robots -

objects!

 

Technology without spirituality is destructive. Spirituality is the

technology of consciousness, and the whole world is the play and

display of consciousness.

 

 

NEWS FLASH

 

The first Basic Course was held in Kosovo.

 

The Bangalore Ashram has 250 enthusiasts in Teacher Training.

 

Every inch of the German Ashram is filled with smiling faces.

 

Guruji was welcomed with much fanfare at the Indian Pavilion at Expo

2000 in Hannover with the traditional Aarti and a Manipuri dance.

>From there he

 

walked through the Avenue of Trees, with devotees sprinkling rose-

petals in his path, to the Christ Pavilion where he was welcomed by

African drummers. Against the melodious strains of a harp, he held a

powerful meditation and spoke on the theme of the Expo: Humankind-

Nature-Technology. The depth of silence was felt even in the prayer

service, which ended with Guruji being taken ceremoniously to sign

at the special gallery - the glass facade of the church!

 

Jai Guru Dev
