Thanks for adding me as your friend and the great video!
I want to share this beauty with you.
Maharaji said this in London 2004
My cup that is in front of me
does not have to be empty...
This river that is passing by
carries much much much much more in it
than meets the eye.
Because on the surface
it just looks like water moving.
But somebody taught me.
Somebody showed me, "Take this bowl and dip it down inside this river and pull it out and keep doing it and your bowl one day will be filled with the gold of peace."
This is what I do.
So there are many people.
The river runs all in front of us.
Some just look at the river and go "Very nice." Some people look at the river and go, "I wish I could ski on it."
Some people look at the river and go "I wish I could drive my boat on it." Some people look at it and go "You know I can put my toes in it, I'm a little warm I'm going to put my toes in the river."
Is that good? Is that bad?
I'm not going to pass any judgment
but, more than what this eye can see,
somebody has shown me the riches that are flowing
with this river.
Sri Lanka Truce

Kuan Yin : She who harkens to the cries of the world

In every corner of the world
She manifests her countless forms.
Sri Lanka Truce.
Over the past several months, there have been calls to the Sri Lankan government and to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for a cease fire to allow the evacuation of civilians caught between the two opposing armed forces. The Secretary General of the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and non-governmental organizations such as the Association of World Citizens have made these pleas; Until now, compassion was overruled by military and political calculations.
Now, both sides have accepted a two-day truce, 12-13 April, to mark the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. While the use of violence has been constant since the start of the current phase of the conflict in 1983, Sinhala and Tamil cultures have non-violent philosophies of life. Now that there has been a pause in their fighting, the pause may be extended so that more people reach safety. We recall that holy-days truces in the 1963-1975 war in Vietnam had been extended for humanitarian purposes. Unfortunately, the Vietnamese truces were never used to advance negotiations among the parties in conflict.
In the case of Sri Lanka, we can hope that the truce will be used to open real negotiations on the future of the State. In the long run, genuine dialogue is the only way to resolve even the most intransigent conflict.
The extension of the truce would be a sign that the compassion of Kuan Yin is at work.

And the bowl I was given.
Now it all makes sense....
