Dear *|FNAME|*

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
Developing a disinclination for outward expression moves us more into our hearts.
Prayer is inner communion. It blesses us as grace flows through us.
Relax periodically and feel God.
Listen more for God‘s response in your heart.
Don‘t meditate to God, but meditate in God.
In merging we transcend dualism.
In this merging we recognize our true potential.
Our true potential is purity in God.


Blessings,
Nityananda

Inspiration

“You see the Alkananda below us? It flows form Nil Kanta on its way to the ocean – such a long way away! What tremendous love she must have for the ocean! It takes so long to reach it, but no one can stop her owing to the force of her love. Your love for God should be like that: patient, constant, undeterred. Like a mighty river, the force of divine devotion will wash away any obstructions on your way. Keep on, with love, until you reach God‘s ocean.”
