Avoid The Traps Of Our Own Making - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins


Many are stuck deep within their own darkness and cry for a strong hand to pull them up and out of this hell that they have created and allowed for themselves. Be strong and be calm and reach deep down where few can and give them your hand in love and friendship and drag them up into their own Light. Once in the Light, we will be refreshed and renewed and better able to avoid the traps of our own making.

It Is Just A Question Of Time - A Quotation by Peter Deunov

The light, the good, and justice will triumph; it is just a question of time. 

Peter Deunov

Peter Deunov — his spiritual name was Beinsa Douno — was a great and inspiring teacher of eternal wisdom, embodying tremendous profundity and great simplicity. His teachings provide practical aids for living in harmony with the earth, with our fellow human beings, and with God. He looked at life through what he called Divine Love, the love that never changes and never varies. He also emphasized the mystical meaning of esoteric Christianity, not simply believing this or that, but actually living the teachings of Christ through a subtle gnosis, emphasizing loving God, loving fellow human beings and one’s enemies.

Express Good Wishes Everywhere You Go - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

 
 
Express wishes - everywhere you go, express wishes for the whole world

We leave traces―beneficial or malevolent imprints―everywhere we go and on whatever we touch. It is said that wherever some people tread, the grass grows no more. Clearly, this image is symbolic, but it is no exaggeration. Other beings, in contrast, who are filled with love and kindness, leave such beneficial imprints in their wake that all who follow in their footsteps feel enlightened, warmed and revitalized.  This is why wherever we go, we too should remember to express aloud our best wishes, such as: ‘May light shine on all who pass this way. Since they are all children of God, let them work for peace and brotherhood!’ You may say that no one has ever spoken to you about such a practice before. But why should anyone have to tell you about it? Do you need to be prompted to wish the very best for your loved ones? Of course not. You do it spontaneously, moved by your feelings for them. Then, why not think spontaneously of expressing wishes for the whole world?

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Suffering as Defined by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Suffering - its role is to bring out qualities in us

We must not try to escape from suffering, but seek to use it, to draw strength from it in order to awaken our inner, sublime life. The role of suffering is precisely to bring out qualities that would never have the chance to manifest in other circumstances. Whenever you find yourself suffering physically or emotionally, thank heaven for the opportunity this suffering gives you to undertake important work on yourself.  Obviously, I am not speaking about unbearable suffering, which requires medical intervention; I am speaking in general terms, about the troubles and difficulties that beset us in everyday life. Instead of moaning, weeping or raging against the Lord, it would be better trying to put all these troubles to good use by working on your own development.  Whatever you do, when you are having a bad time, do not focus on your suffering, rather work to harmonize everything inside you, and become stronger. When this work is done, your suffering will disappear, because you will have solved the problem set for you by heaven.

Nature Brings Solace In All Troubles - A Quotation by Anne Frank

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. I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.

Do This Before Meals - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

                            
   
The few minutes of prayer and meditation we have before meals create the conditions needed for eating to become a sacred act. So, why are even Christians gradually losing this habit? But, whether or not you are a Christian, try to understand that it is important to meditate for a moment before you eat, so as to be fully conscious of the importance of the gestures you are about to make and to be in control of them throughout the meal.  Control of our gestures is one of the conditions for the control of our thoughts and feelings. So, before each meal, remain silent for a few seconds; immerse yourself in the awareness of how important, even indispensable, to life this act of eating is. Be respectful of your food, and your gestures will be imbued with a suppleness, a harmony, a gentleness and an extraordinary love that will reflect on you. And then with what ease you will carry out your everyday tasks!

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Wees in vrede - 'n aanhaling deur M.N. Hopkins

Wees in vrede en wees verseker dat niemand, nêrens, hierdie kollektiewe droom van die Mensdom moontlik kan beëindig nie.  Laat julle nie mislei nie en weet diep in julleself dat julle pogings 'n liefdevolle geskenk aan toekomstige geslagte was.  'n Geskenk van vryheid, vrylik gegee, wat eendag waardeer en gekoester sal word en in die menslike hart sal voortleef.

Huzurlu Olun - M.N. Hopkins'tan bir alıntı


Huzur içinde olun ve şundan emin olun ki, hiç kimse, hiçbir yerde, insanlığın bu kolektif rüyasına son veremez. Aldanmayın ve içinizde derinlerde, çabalarınızın gelecek nesillere sevgi dolu bir armağan olduğunu bilin. Bir gün takdir edilecek, değer verilecek ve insan kalbinde yaşayacak olan, özgürce verilen bir özgürlük armağanı.

शांति से रहो - एम.एन. हॉपकिन्स का एक उद्धरण


शांति बनाए रखें और निश्चिंत रहें कि मानवता के इस सामूहिक सपने को कोई भी, कहीं भी समाप्त नहीं कर सकता। धोखा न खाएँ और अपने मन में यह गहराई से जान लें कि आपके प्रयास आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए एक प्रेमपूर्ण उपहार थे। स्वतंत्रता का एक ऐसा उपहार जो नि:स्वार्थ रूप से दिया गया है, जिसकी एक दिन सराहना और कद्र की जाएगी और जो मानव हृदय में सदैव जीवित रहेगा।

ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਰਹੋ - ਐੱਮ.ਐੱਨ. ਹੌਪਕਿਨਜ਼ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਕਥਨ

ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਰਹੋ ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਯਕੀਨ ਰੱਖੋ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ, ਕਿਤੇ ਵੀ, ਮਨੁੱਖਤਾ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਸਾਂਝੇ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਨੂੰ ਖਤਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ। ਧੋਖੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾ ਰਹੋ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਦਿਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹ ਜਾਣੋ ਕਿ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ਾਂ ਭਵਿੱਖ ਦੀਆਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਪਿਆਰ ਭਰੀ ਦਾਤ ਸਨ। ਆਜ਼ਾਦੀ ਦੀ ਇੱਕ ਦਾਤ ਜੋ ਖੁੱਲ੍ਹ ਕੇ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਗਈ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸਦੀ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਕਦਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਕੇ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਦਿਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੱਸੇਗੀ।

শান্তিতে থাকুন - এম.এন. হপকিন্সের একটি উক্তি

শান্ত থাকুন এবং নিশ্চিত থাকুন যে, কেউ, কোথাও, মানবজাতির এই সমষ্টিগত স্বপ্নকে শেষ করতে পারবে না।  প্রতারিত হবেন না এবং অন্তরে গভীরভাবে জানুন যে, আপনার প্রচেষ্টা ভবিষ্যৎ প্রজন্মের জন্য একটি ভালোবাসাময় উপহার ছিল।  স্বাধীনতার একটি উপহার, যা অকৃপণভাবে প্রদান করা হয়েছে, একদিন তা প্রশংসিত ও লালিত হবে এবং মানবহৃদয়ে বাস করবে।

היה בשלום - ציטוט מאת מ.נ. הופקינס

היו שלווים וודאו כי איש, בשום מקום, לא יוכל לשים קץ לחלום הקולקטיבי הזה של האנושות.  אל תתפתו להאמין לשקרים, ודעו עמוק בתוככם כי מאמציכם היו מתנה מלאת אהבה לדורות הבאים.  מתנת חופש שניתנה בחופשיות, שתוערך ותוקיר יום אחד, ותמשיך לחיות בלב האדם.
