(dedicated to Pink Floyd, whose haunting music and infinitely wise lyrics blessed our generations.)
“Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond!
Now there’s a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond!
You reached for the secret too soon; you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond!
Threatened by shadows at night; exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond!” Pink Floyd
The human race is experiencing a nightmare created by its own madness – a reflection of its own state of consciousness. Its collective mind creates a collective bad trip.
In this time of dark portents, when tyrants rule and injustice reigns, when disease and disaster become the norm, when callous inhumanity and selfish greed appear to bring all life to the brink of extinction, must we despair?
Since the dawn of time, a wise and loving power has created and maintained the miracle of this cosmos and all that exists. Do you think this power is no longer active?
Every drop of rain that falls, every leaf that grows, every star that shines – all happens only because of this power. O ye of little faith, every breath you take is its gift!
Trust in this power..and it will never fail you.
“The Self that is subtler than the subtle and greater than the great is seated in the heart of every creature. One who is free from desire sees the glory of the Self through the tranquillity of the mind and senses and becomes absolved from grief.”Katha Upanishad
When you are trapped in a nightmare, fear feels real until you awaken.
Going through life unaware of your own true divine nature is the nightmare.
O son of man, awaken; the time is ripe!
Ride the steel breeze – open your eyes wide and see.
Dive into the Heart and discover that you are free.
Let that Light drive away all the shadows in your mind.
Be who you really are and shine!
“The great mountain of worldly anxieties is an unreal accumulation of fictions bundled together by the feverish imagining mind. One’s own reality, which shines within everyone as the Heart, is the infinite ocean of unalloyed bliss. Therefore, like the unreal blueness of the sky, misery exists only in the imagination, not in reality.” Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi.
