Guru Devotion

One of the beautiful books of Hazrat Inayat Kanh is "Inner Life". This last book is very similar to the journey of Japanese samurai in finding perfection. In this approach, every movement of life is seen as a mirror of what is happening inside.

Snow

Whenever encountering restless souls in meditation sessions, there is always frozen mind like snow. Due to frozen mind then they collided with a lot of things in life. Do not talk about money and power, even the idea of ​​enlightenment can make people like these collide with others.

Wings of Peace

In one of question answer session in prison, a prisoner asked seriously: "is it true that meditation can make us fly?". When it was cultivated deeper, it turns out he wanted to fly away from the prison.

This is one sign of soul who is far from health. Do not talk about money and power, even spirituality wanted to be used as a vehicle of crime. As a result, soul is restless and full of anxiety.

Wilhelm Reich in his book "Listen Little Man" wrote, soul can reach a state of health when a person lives in a balance and loving way. And when soul live in doubt and fear, a person lose the energy to be healed.

Temple of Mind

A spiritual friend shared his sadness one day, he has converted his religion three times. And he has been cheated materially many times in these three religions. At the end of his grief, he asked: "In which temple should I worship now?".

This is  a specific story of restless souls, do not talk about money and power, even religion and God can become a source of pain. The point is simple, the darkness inside will guide a person to meet the darkness outside.

That's why all religions in early stage suggest to meet the light within. Once a person meets the light within, they do not just see the light outside, they also emits the light.

Mountain of Compassion

"Why spiritual seekers should meet harming enemies along the journey?", a woman asked. To be honest, spiritual journey is not a journey which is full of pleasure. In many parts, spiritual journey is even very painful.

There are two approaches available to explain the presence of harming enemies along the spiritual journey. The first approach is mirror like approach. In this approach, the presence of enemy is only a mirror that someone still has inner battle within themselves. The harder a person fight against themselves, the more external enemies will harm them.

Poetry In Silence

"I feel alienated in my own body, I feel lonely in the crowd", that's the complain of many meditation students. By having empty eyes, dry skin, lips that never say thank you, this type of person keep drinking poison for their soul. Without deep inner cultivation, those lost souls can experience spiritual down fall.

To be honest, many people in this age feel lonely in the crowd. In a series  of deep interviews with many meditation students, a number of friends whose daily life are cheerful and full of humor also experienced the same loneliness. Cheerfulness and laugher are only cloths to cover their painful loneliness inside. Deep within they missed something. The thing which remains a mystery for a long time.

Pendulum of Peace

One day a wife whose husband is suffering from a chronic heart disease was surprised because her husband won the lottery. Being afraid that something wrong could happen to her ​​husband, this nice woman ran to a Priest where they usually consult. With a gentle voice this Priest asked to the man who won the lottery: "what will you do if you win the lottery?". He firmly replied: "most of the money will go to you Priest ". Upon hearing the answer, this Priest died suddenly.

The lesson of this story is simple, life is like a pendulum. Each time the pendulum is pulled to an extreme point, it will be back to the other extreme. That's why meditation always underlines the importance of being in the middle.

Breeze of Peace

In some parts of the world, there are many friends who are afraid of certain group which is rumored to end another person's life in a very inhumane way. As a result, there is fear here and there. It is similar to environment which has been full of dark clouds, fearful life put some other more dark clouds.

In the past, there was a movie called license to kill. A kind of license for certain people to kill the others. Having studied the story in depth, the license come from the feeling of being right, the feeling of having discovered "the truth". These feelings of being right then make those people dare to end the other's life.
