Daily Word: Spread it
Read or listen to this writing:
The world offers tons of images, sounds, objects, substances, advice and conclusions, but none can satisfy.
None point to freedom.
Is there anything pure anymore? The world is chasing money, flaunting what they have purchased, lusting over uncovered skin, to the point of giving up the sacred vow of marriage.
The animals and plants don’t even know the sickness of war, pride, greed or buying and selling that us humans know.
The youth of the world is immersed into the newest trend and TV and radio has become their ultimate teacher. The people of the world relies on money, sex and power and abandoned the idea of compassion as a useless tool.
The sickness of the ego is sweeping the world. Great powers of the world have cared less for the hungry and homeless. Where is the compassion?
It is time for us to arise! You have been called to make a difference. Darkness is covering grounds, but there is also a huge Light that is sweeping the world. This Light doesn’t contain any dogma or doctrine. This Light is empowered by the pureness practiced and lived by the people. When we meditate, when we pray, when we chant we are spreading loving-kindness, we are spreading the power of the Light all across the world, all across the universe. You are making a difference when you are doing these things.
Spread this positive energy everywhere you go. Let your energy dissolve the negativity that is sweeping the lives of many. Many people are drowning in the sea of samsara and we have a responsibility to help them get out. Yes, it is true, first save yourself, and then save others, but when an opportunity is opened to you, to help, to spread a message of enlightenment, to turn the wheel of the Dharma, do not hesitate.
Do not get comfortable and so relaxed that you have forgot the purpose of all of this. Be that person of change, be the person that makes another person smile. Spread the joy and peace that you have gained in your time of emptiness, in your time of prayer, in your time of meditation.
Become like a tree that produces fresh fruit, where people can come and eat off of you, and maybe sit and rest under the shadow of your leaves. If you like to sing, sing the Dharma, if you like the teach, teach the Dharma, if you like to do art, make art for the Dharma. Use your talents to spread the message of hope to sentient beings. Be an instrument for the Divine. Speak, teach, paint, sing, cook, write, create a blog, whatever it is do it! Spread the Light that is within you, don’t be afraid. Spread it!
I had to write this after hearing the news which is always horrific news, and watching what is being played on TV. My heart always sinks whenever I see how much hate and ignorance is in the world. We as a people need to step up and spread the message of hope, spin the wheel of the Dharma for others to escape the cycle of birth and death.
Namaste!
