How much of it is your effort?

Give 100% to your endeavor of choice. Let go of the results. Everything is manifest by divine timing and grace. Don’t give up the effort but give up the attachment to the results. Intuit the right action to take and then take it.  You can’t always see the big picture. Just know you are doing the right thing and keep moving forward. Keep your gaze between the eyebrows in meditation. Also known as the third eye, star of the East, inner eye, eye of intuition, Kutastha (Christ or Krishna consciousness center (insert your God of choice)) center, ajna chakra.

Basically it is out of our hands. Some days the stars are in alignment for everything to flow effortlessly and somedays you hit endless road blocks. Do everything you do in honor of the God or your super soul with love and be confident and joyous in your efforts.

Life is supposed to be fun. If the maya or your motion picture brings you the opposite of fun, remember you are here to make your way back to God Head?  to be part of God’s play? To give and receive love? I’m not sure of the answer, but I like all of these. If you have a better answer let me know.

In your self realization, it is said that it is 25% you, 25% your Guru and 50% God, that gets you there.

Eventually you will see this when you gaze at your spiritual eye in meditation.

“It’s better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out.” Neem Karoli Baba

I liked doing quotes from Yogananda yesterday. I thought I would do a quote from Anandamayi Ma today but I ended up with a quote from Neem Karoli Baba. He is Krishna Das’s and Ram Das’s Guru. They call him Maharajji.  Anandamayi Ma is a Saint Yogananda met. He talks about her in his book Autobiography of a Yogi. 

“It’s better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out.” Neem Karoli Baba

To be honest one of the reasons I liked this quote was because it was short, and of course it is something that resonates with me. I often get caught up in the rules, rituals, regulations, the math and science of it all. All of that has its place but its not the most important thing. The main thing is Love.  If you see God in everything you will love everyone and everything. Look for the best in everyone. Know that everyone has a spirit soul inside of them that is connected with God. Don’t love in expectation of its return value. Just love and give it freely to all.  That is a real gift to yourself also.  You can’t make anyone except your love or believe it, but you can always have kind thoughts and wishes for them.
