Laws of Life

[Guest guest]

1. Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is

contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves

lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake,

because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.

 

2. It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude,

which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things

beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our

own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

 

3. Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is

meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy

and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not

understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!

 

4. It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ;

feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the

life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of

intellectual activity can reach God.

 

5. Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realised God sitting in the

temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before

every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from

bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

 

6. Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a

helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your

brothers, and let them go their own way.

 

7. Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of

some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner

it is got rid of, the better.

 

8. Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his

struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same

time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.

 

9. Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None

can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher

but your own soul.

 

10. Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own

nature. Have faith in yourselves!

 

11. Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible

for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin,

this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

 

12. You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already

ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it

is dark.

 

13. Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this

knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is

all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict

psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what

man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his

own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.

 

14. Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth

cannot be sacrificed for anything.

 

15. Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and

not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
