Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
A young English sadhaka who had studied philosophy at the Benares Hindu University had a talk with Mataji before returning to his country.
Amongst other things, Mataji said to him:
"Meditate on God all the time,
whatever you may do,
wherever you may be.
Remember,
whatever you see,
whatever you hear,
is his manifestation.
Pain exists because
you believe yourself to be separate.
Don't consider anyone as separate from yourself. Regard everyone as your friend.
Consider yourself to be God's tool (yantra) and think that He is moving you.
Dedicate yourself entirely to Him, feel all the time that He is doing everything. Even when you walk, feel that He is moving your legs.
Whatever work you do,
offer it to Him,
then you will be incapable of any baseness, for how can you offer anything ugly to your Beloved.
The little knowledge you possess, you have to give up to Him and in return,
because there is nothing left,
He will give you all.
