Go not to the temple to put flower upon the feet of God,
First fill your own house with the fragrance of love ………
Go not to the temple to light candles before the alter of god,
First remove the darkness of sin from your heart……….
Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,
First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen ……
Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,
First bend down to lift someone who is downtrodden ……
Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,
First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.

A New Crop of Fools
Every generation a new crop of fools comes on. They think they can beat the orderly universe. They conceive thmselves to be more clever than the eternal laws. They snatch goods from Nature's store, and run.... And one by one they all come back to Nature's counter, and pay--pay in tears, in agony, in despair; pay as fools before them have paid. Nature keeps books pitilessly. Your credit with her is good, but she collects; there is no land you can flee to escape her bailiffs. She never forgets; she sees to it that you pay her every cent you owe, with interest. -Dr. Frank Crane

Positive Creativity
The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of

Motivational Words on Managing Anger
Anger, from an evolutionary point of view, serves a purpose. It's helped us survive. Anger is quite appropriate in response to an injustice or a wrong that needs to be righted. But, as the Dalai Lama pointed out, if you're going to be effective in responding to what makes you angry, you need to keep the focus and energy of the anger, but drop the anger itself in order to act more

Lao Tzu thoughts on Leaders
Superior leaders get things done with very little motion. They impart instruction not through many words, but through a few deeds. They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all. They are catalysts, and though things would not get done as well if they were not there, when they succeed they take no credit. And, because they take no credit, credit never leaves them. Lao-Tzu,

Body and Mind Relationship
The 1st rule is you will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your time here on Earth. And a lot of us take that for granted, but some people take better care of their cars than they do their bodies. Some people respect their bodies and some people abuse their bodies. Some people just tolerate their body and other people actually honor their bodies.

Handling Loneliness Positively
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for

True love is giving
Of yourself. Of your heart. If you are wondering if you "love" someone, ask yourself how you have placed your partner's needs above your own. Ask yourself if you are giving to give, or giving to get something in return — whether it's emotional validation, acknowledgment, reciprocation or an actual, physical gift. Ask yourself if you give to your partner simply for the act of giving. For the

Surrender the Self
There's no such thing as a person or an individual. There's only the universal that expresses itself as a person. That ultimate spiritual freedom comes only from relinquishing the person and recognizing that the individual is just a pattern in the [universe] and unless we can exponentially know that, there is no coming out of the prison.Deepak Chopra
Journey to Love
The destination is "to be." I think love is endless, and it's limitless. But it's often hard for us to really experience the abundance of what love is. So it's kind of a moment-to-moment destination — to be in the moment, to be in the present, to be with ourselves, to be with another, to be with Spirit. I think it's an endless journey, a journey that keeps revealing itself.Kani Comstock, author

Jiddu on what is real Freedom
Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not choice. It is man's pretence that because he has choice, he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in
