Training Day: 'Looking at the Thorn and Seeing the Rose' #GMfaves

Today think of your life like one big obstacle course, like one big training field, where the Trainer, Love, is disguised as scary thoughts, needs, problems, and difficult people... It's disguised as your office, as everyone on your calls, today. God is disguised as your kids, as your partner, as your neighbor. Can you keep the felt-Faith? Can you remember that it's all GoOD? Can you feel and know Love, 24/7, no matter what? Even when what you want is not present? Can you feel Its Spiritual presence even in its material absence? When I was in my old life, wanting to live on the beach, I wasn't imagining the ocean. I was listening for Silence and feeling Love, trusting that this Love would take shape in a way that would further reinforce my ability to practice this Love. That It would become the environment that I most needed. That It would become the people that I most needed to help me cultivate This, to give me the strength and the focus to train even harder.

It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.” -Shams Tabrizi "Gradually we find ourselves in prayer while at work -- driving -- walking. Ultimately we achieve it even while conversing or while in a room where much talk goes on -- even while at the theatre and movies in the very midst of the performance. It all begins with practicing the listening ear. Learn to keep that right ear half cocked all the time. Never get so engrossed in what you are doing that you forget the listening ear. Do not be concerned with or about results. We have no more right to think about results than the beginner at the piano should be thinking of playing a concert. Constant receptivity to the Inner Self should be our aim. " -Joel Goldsmith, Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture "Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark." -Rabindranath Tagore "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." -Isaiah 65:24 "This world is a camouflage, so what are you worried?" -Maharajji "The flute of the Infinite is played without ceasing, and its sound is Love." -Kabir "Only one whose heart is absorbed In the ecstacy of Love all twenty four hours Only he can be called a lover." -Kabir " Our Faith is our fortune.
