You Might Also Like We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet. We need to awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet. October 27, 2020 One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks. October 26, 2020 The world is governed by opinion. October 27, 2020 If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace. October 27, 2020 Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive – that you can touch the miracle of being alive – then that is a kind of enlightenment. October 27, 2020 You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord. October 26, 2020 Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter. October 27, 2020 Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

October 26, 2020 Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety. October 26, 2020
