You Have a Choice: some words from Prem Rawat
You Have a Choice
• How many of you are believers in: “This
is all meant to be, and there’s no choice; it’s
all
preordained”?
• Have you abandoned the fact that
you have a choice?
• It is your choice. Choose! Choose to feed
the good wolf. Choose clarity. Choose to love
this life. Choose
to live this life consciously. Choose to practice because you want
to.
• Life is a one-shot journey. How much of it do you want
to spend doing things that are not
productive to your
existence?
• You can make a choice to be happy. You can make a
choice to be content.
• Do those things that are productive to
you achieving your goal of acquiring some mighty
fine
memories.
See the Reality of Existence and You Will
Experience the Divine• The Divine has no clue you exist. And
people are like, “Whoa, how can that be? Somebody
out there
has to know I’m here.”
• You want to experience the Divine
in your domain. “Show me a little miracle. Show me
a little
explosion! Show me a bright light!” You want the Divine to come
into your world
and prove to you that the Divine exists.
Instead, you have to enter into the domain of the
Divine.
•
The Divine has no interest in proving that it exists.
• The
Divine is like electricity. It is running everywhere. It’s in
everything and knows nothing
about what it runs. Lightbulb?
Toaster? Blender? It doesn’t matter, it’s the same!
• When
“I” am no more, I can experience the Divine.
• What do you
want? Do you want your version of the Divine? Or do you want to
experience
the Divine? One is created, and one is the experience
of what is.
• You can either experience the Divine or the “I”.
Not both.
• Drop the “I”. Get rid of the “I”. Come
into the domain of the Divine. Then, and only then,
will you be
able to actually feel what it is like.
• I’m not asking you
to accept the Divine in your life. I’m talking about experiencing
the
Divine in your life. Big difference.
• Knowledge puts
you in touch with the Divine that is inside of you. Providing that
your
bucket doesn’t have a hole in it, it will fill with joy.
Will clarity come? Yes! Will gratitude
come? Yes!
• What
is hope? Opportunity accepted is hope.
• What is the
opportunity? That you can experience the Divine. And if you have
accepted
that opportunity, you will be filled with hope.
Feel
the Infinite in Your Life and You Will Understand Your
Immortality
• One part of you is going nowhere. And one part
of you is going to get erased. The part
that you thought was the
most important is going to be gone. And the one you made
excuses
for is going to stay.
• There’s a part of you that is not
mortal. There’s a part of you that is very mortal. Knowledge
puts
you in touch with the part that is immortal.
See Clearly
Who You Are and You Will Not Be Disappointed
• The world
disappoints you. I’m not the first one to say this. It was said a
long time ago and has been repeated again and again and again. Don’t
fall victim to this illusion.
Your lunch is in your bag!
Self-Knowledge / Inner Peace is like a packed lunch already in your bag!
Imagine one day you plan to set out to go on a journey to explore the world.
You pack your bag and get together all the things that you think you need, make a packed lunch and put it into the bag, and off you go!
How wonderful it is, so many beautiful sites to see, the buildings, the flowers, the shops, the people, the music and the shows. Things you have never seen before, So much to enjoy, even without any purpose or agenda, just to wander is such a pleasure.
But even with so much out there, you will eventually feel hungry. So, of course, you will start to look more for food than entertainment or shopping or the architecture.
There are plenty of restaurants with menus of all sorts - display boards and signs, even people shouting to invite you inside. Large well-lit places, small street stalls, cafes and bars.
So eventually you try one, according to your taste and how much money you want to spend. You go inside.
But inside, one sitting, after looking closely at the menu, now starting to feel even more hungry and maybe your mouth is watering, along comes to smiling waiter to tell you that they are very sorry but today they have no food.
Off you go, try somewhere else but the same thing happens.
Even where the waiters are shouting to invite you in, they have no food.
The street stalls have nothing. The cafes have nothing. The large well lit expensive gourmet places have nothing.
All they have is menus and signs!
What are you going to do now that you are hungry. Maybe just give up and starve or try to get to another town and try your luck there.
Then along comes a man who says to you that he can see that you are searching for food, but why, when you are carrying a delicious packed lunch in your bag.
All t took was a reminder. All it took was for you to look in the right place.
Self-knowledge is like that, it is within. Inner Peace is within - that is why we call it "inner".
WE only need to find the person that will remind us, show us where to look. WE don't need to give up just because the world's menus and signs have not satisfied our hunger or thirst.
There is a deer called a musk deer, that constantly searches for the source of a smell that it carries on its own body.
Know Thy Self.

Welcome to My Planet, a song with lyrics by Alun Buffry
This my planet, we call it Earth.
I’ve lived upon it since the day of my birth.
I’ll stay here, I think, until my end,
When Grace my last breath it does send.
On my planet, which is mostly sea
Earth, water, fire and air is all free,
It’s perfect for life beneath our great Sun,
In trillions of miles it’s the only one.
If I made the rules, all humans would be
Running their own lives and walking free.
But there is one thing that sadly I say,
Our worldly rulers have unholy ways.
I’m just being honest, not dragging you down,
But our elected leaders are usually clowns,
Sending troops to wars so pointless to die,
Leaving their families to fear and to cry.
Whist leaders are counting the cash that they store,
And the greedy bleeders still want more.
They wear their robes with such a false pride,
Taking the people for taxable rides.
Yet deep beneath that beyond even their sins,
Lies the peace and the bliss inside within.
If only they’d let true wisdom show,
How to be grateful and let their Light glow.
For eight billion plus people now living here,
Each one has a soul, a life so dear,
Each one of us is given the chance,
To find peace within and our lives enhance.
Just ask and then let your true self be shown,
Turn doubtful beliefs into something known,
Rise above though thoughts that do drift,
Be grateful for the Breath that is the gift.
Find your own light, hear the sound,
Feel the connection to which we are bound,
Enjoy your life on this planet Earth,
Each moment called now since the time of your birth!

People tend to say that they don't believe in any god because they haven't seen one.
People tend to say that they don't believe in any god because they haven't seen one.
Yet they tend to believe in love, peace, contentment although those are not seen either
until we actually FEEL or experience them, then we KNOW.
Those experiences are within us, not in the world outside. that world merely sparks off the experience, often for a short while, but after that it is no longer a question of belief or disbelief, it is about knowing.
So what about God?
Scriptures say that God is everywhere including within us, that God is love, God is light and God is a spirit (which comes down from the word meaning breath).
God is an "experience" within, which we have either felt or not.
And if God is light within us, how can we see it, or him or her?
Maybe it's like much in life, we NEED to be shown.
Maybe we just need to find someone to show us, to spark off that experience, to be able to look within, and if we find it, we will know, and we can hope that it will last so we can turn within and FEEL love and peace until our final breath.
That is the "Spirit of God."
I was so fortunate to have been shown in 1972.
