Þ HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST



I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes.. The whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing.. The people sing

*Hosanna.. Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest (x2)

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith.. With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we praise and seek
We're on our knees.. We're on our knees
*
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Þ MINDFULNESS

With deeds of loving kindness I purify my body
With open handed generosity I purify my body
With stillness simplicity 'n contentment I purify my body
With truthful communication I purify my speech
With mindfulness clear and radiant I purify my mind
This is a classic example of NOT being mindful..

Þ PURE CHIHTHA (Thought or Intention)

Take an ordinary postal envelope. Upon it, in golden ink, write the address of a person in artistic calligraphy. Insert a beautiful worded letter full of amazing sentiments, and drop it into a postbox. What happens to it? It will not move even a yard away! Now take a simple post card, scribble unimpressive things with no special care, affix a stamp, an address and drop it into the box. What happens? The artistically ornamental envelope is inert, while the inartistic cheap document travels a thousand miles towards the person indicated. Therefore, whatever may be the uniqueness or importance, the furore or attractiveness, the service that you do can yield no fruit if it is done without a pure chiththa (thought or intention). - Sai Baba

Þ BE GRATEFUL ALWAYS

Let not your hearts be troubled!

PEACE OF MIND
If you were to ask your neighbor,
"What would give you peace of mind?" he might tell you,
"A vacation in Bermuda !" or
"An extra hundred grand would give me peace!", or
"A new Ferrari would make me content!"

But going places – and getting stuff – is usually a temporary solution ...
Peace of mind rarely comes from getting more stuff.
Getting more stuff usually leads to wanting even more stuff!
Peace of mind starts with being grateful for what we have right now.

GRATITUDE is POWER
When we are thankful for what we have - for the friends we have, and for the things we've got, we attract more good people and good things! People who always complain about what they DON'T HAVE, stay stuck. Complainers attract more things to complain about! It is a law of life. It's hard to explain, but you can observe it around you. We get more of what we dwell upon.

That's why all the spiritual masters have taught the same lesson. "Start by being thankful. Be happy with what you have now, and more will come your way."

It's practical advice. Every time you say a silent "thank you" you become more peaceful – and more power.

Þ Soap & Water

Your nature is divine. What happened along life's way was that delusion covered it up with dust. When your dirty laundry goes to the washerman he doesn't make your clothes white. They are actually white to begin with only dirt has hidden the whiteness. All he does is to bring out the brightness of the clothes. To do this he needs two pure items - soap and water. He cannot manage without either of these. Similarly in the case of the mind and the dirt covering its purity there are two cleansing items needed - the soap of Principle and the water of Practice.
