Being of the Jewish persuasion, I'm not exactly the kind of person given to confession, but allow me the ecumenical luxury of confessing at least one thing in this first paragraph of what may well turn out to be the Mahabharata of blog postings:

As Prem Rawat once reminded me, an average lifespan lasts seventy years, a measly 25,550 days. Some of us have spent 75% of that already. Younger ones hopefully have a bit more. All of us, whoever we are, sleep almost half of that time and, all in all, it's tempting to bemoan the brevity of human life — the proverbial three score and ten of our earthly sojourn.

Mientras más avanzaba, más fuerte se hacía el sonido.

A New Adventure for TPRF and TAP


You'll remember that 3 months ago, TPRF provided matching donations for The Adventure Project’s (TAP) TYPE TAP program.
This time around, the inspiration comes from Bill Gates, who recently challenged readers of his blog to develop tools to increase awareness of the importance of small farmers in addressing the problem of hunger.
 
Never ones to shrink from a challenge, TAP is responding with its One to 1000initiative, and TPRF is one of its sponsors. This program will not only increase awareness of this important subject, but also help 1,000 small farmers in Africa through TAP's collaboration with Kickstart.
 
It's a brilliant plan. The key idea is for at least 1,000 people to set up an about.me page that tells the small farmer story. Read all about it here, and then set up your ownabout.me profile. You'll probably be glad to have one. Express it in your own unique voice, and please do mention TPRF as a supporter.

QUOTE OF THE DAY


QUOTE OF THE DAY


Nouveau document : Inner Peace - Self-Knowledge


For those who wish to turn within and find peace, Prem Rawat offers a practical tool, which he calls (Self) Knowledge. He likens this tool to a bridge or a mirror. He says that the experience of Knowledge cannot be described; that it can only be experienced and judged by the heart. He describes Knowledge as not being a solution to problems, but rather as a means to extract the joy which, he says, resides within each breath. This Knowledge, he says, is a way for a person to connect with themselves. This requires sincerity and a commitment to trust one’s own heart:

"Knowledge is unique. It’s unique because, on one hand you have four very physical techniques, and on the other hand there is this beautiful joy. There is this beautiful feeling that these techniques bring. Here is an ultimate bridge between these four techniques and the heart. …because remember: heart has to be the judge. Where Knowledge takes you, heart has to be the judge. The feeling that Knowledge brings you: the heart has to be the judge. And, if you try to describe it, it is almost impossible. But you can certainly feel it. This is what it is all about. Experience... Experience and let the heart be the guide. Let the heart be the judge. Knowledge is not a solution to your problems. A lot of people… This is what they think... You know? “If I receive Knowledge then all my problems will disappear.” No. Knowledge is not a solution to your problems. You want to solve your problems? Then you need to solve your problems. The best way to solve your problems is, in fact, not to have them in the first place. Don’t do those things that create the problems. But the problems do have solutions. You can search. You can find those solutions and you can solve your problems. Knowledge is strictly for taking you to that place within, where you can feel that joy. …where you can feel that peace."


Once people have been shown the techniques of Knowledge, which are four simple meditative techniques for focusing within, he tells people to let their heart fill with the gratitude for life that naturally comes from within, and that they capture this feeling. He says Knowledge opens the door to receiving gifts “from the heart” and to feeling a joy upon which, he says, no price can be put.

Knowledge is a journey not a destination

Prem Rawat describes the practice of Knowledge as a commitment of a lifetime, which requires a lot of determination and persistence, and he offers to help people make this lifetime journey. The practice of Knowledge, he says, enables one to feel a love that lies within the heart, a love of life, a love within the breath. He sees the need for such love to be unconditional for a person to progress on this journey:

”If you are willing to pay attention… If you are truly willing to listen… If you are truly willing to have that determination to quench this thirst, this is going to be a journey you are going to love. Why? …because this is a journey, the journey that is a journey for its own sake, not a destination oriented journey. No. The sail’s up. The wind has come. And the vessel moves. Because the breath comes... Because you are alive… That is the reason. Make this journey. And the path to fulfillment is based on you, just you."

Part of making the journey to peace within requires removing doubts and shedding baggage he says. By baggage he means preconceived ideas, judgments, concepts, inherited from the world and not truly ours:

"Learn to trust yourself, because this journey is not going away from you. This is going to you. This is about looking within. We know how to look outside. We see the things. We judge the things: good, bad, right, wrong, “This is nice,” “This looks good,” “This looks great.” But really, when you start to look within it has to be without any judgment. It has to be simple. It has to be clear.”

Prem Rawat says that the person who pursues this process will find himself, becoming more awake and aware. This person will find himself staying away from the ocean of aimless questions, and attracted to an ocean within which Rawat describes as full of answers. These answers within, he says, come in the form of feelings and many of these answers have nothing to do with any questions the person may have. He describes practicing Knowledge as a process of courting clarity:

”We know that there is something very beautiful inside of us. But what we do is, when we don’t understand it or we don’t have a means of fulfilling this feeling, we go ahead and ignore it and get on with other things. And those other things start taking priority in our life. And all those things become more important in our life. But now comes the time that perhaps we have this possibility to be able to go inside and experience it again. And this is so much the process of discovery, because we are rediscovering. To me, this Knowledge is not creating a new experience. This is not about creating new elements. This is not about bringing new elements into our life. This is about re-discovering what we have. …because we have incredible strength and we have an incredible potential.”

(Self ) Knowledge is a journey - not a destination


 Prem Rawat describes the practice of Knowledge as a commitment of a lifetime, which requires a lot of determination and persistence, and he offers to help people make this lifetime journey.

Because the breath comes... Because you are alive… That is the reason. Make this journey. And the path to fulfillment is based on you, just you.

 Knowledge is your best friend. It’s the sword that cuts clean the ambiguity. Cuts clean the ‘ifs’ and the ‘buts’. Makes apparent the value of this breath, the value of this existence. It is the only thing that produces that parallel between... everything and you. It shows you where you belong and where everything else is. Without judgment. If you call it silence, then it is silence, but it is a silence of a different kind. It is the silence where the heart is full, not empty. You could call it the absence. But it is the absence of a want of anything: because you are full.

Comentario de susana garcía desde


www.paz1a1.ning.com

Hola queridos amigos, les envío con todo cariño las palabras de Claudio Ruhemann con respecto a los eventos que tuvimos en el mes de abril con Maharaji en Sudamérica.

Feedback / mi perspectiva despues de estos eventos del 2011:

Queridos:

Quizas algunos se hayan quedado con un sinsabor porque escucharon que M estaba desconforme con la sala elegida en Buenos Aires, y que termino el periplo con una buena gripe …

Entonces para aclarar un poco las aguas, les paso aquí mi perspectiva personal, por lo que pude ver viajando con el y de las varias oportunidades invalorables que tuve de hablar abiertamente de todo con el.

M estaba contentisimo de volver tan pronto, a menos de 1 año de la ultima venida, es lo primero que dijo al llegar a Buenos Aires, con una sonrisa reluciente. 
Tanto el como su esposa estaban muy a gusto y comodos con la base que hay en Buenos Aires, se sienten como en su hogar, lo disfrutan mucho y pueden descansar bien aquí.

Luego arrancamos la gira con el pie izquierdo pareciera, Sao Paulo tuvo algunas situaciones  incomodas para el en lo personal, fue algo decepcionante por la audiencia menor al de Floria (pese a que Sao Paulo supuestamente es lo mas centrico para todos), y luego ocurrio la reunion previa en la sala de Buenos Aires donde se noto mucho (con la sala media vacia) el ruido del tren y la calidad mediocre de la sala….    una  pena …, y si, estaba decepcionado…

El dia siguiente me llamo, me sento a su lado y me dijo:  ‘que nos esta pasando en Sudamerica?’…
Su sensación era que habia sido demasiado para nosotros que el venga 2 veces en menos de 1 año, y profundizamos sobre las salas, en como fue que pensamos que era aceptable una sala que no lo es, que cuando uno tiene mucha necesidad, baja su standard y acepta cosas que en otra circunstancia no las aceptaria, que cuando algo cuesta mucho esfuerzo desproporcionadamente al resultado eso nos tiene que llamar la atención y hacer un parate y no meterse en semejante lio (relacionado a que la sala por ser de baja calidad se compraron almohadones y demas), ejemplo de quien no quisiera salir con una super-modell bellisima, pero lo haces?, no, es demasiado esfuerzo conseguirla y mantenerla…, naturalmente tenemos la perspectiva de que el esfuerzo tiene que ser proporcional al beneficio que se obtiene…
Hablo de la importancia de poder trabajar en equipo…
Me pidio que abramos nuestra cabeza, seamos neutrales, si no hay una sala adecuada suficientemente grande buscar alternativas, en Buenos Aires donde tiene su base no le hubiese importado hacer varios eventos en distintos fines de semana o lo que sea, subdividir la audiencia interesada en distintos dias, etc…, hablamos de la opcion de la carpa gigante que el esta averiguando, etc…
En fin, el maestro que es, enseñando y transmitiendo amor y entendimiento…

Luego ocurrio el evento publico el domingo en Buenos Aires.
El brillo, estaba reluciente, exuberante, contento de ver la sala llena hasta el fondo, no quedaba una grada vacia…, y el famoso tren (que tren?), dicen que paso 1 sola vez, casi ni se escucho…

El dia siguiente tuve otra ocasión de hablarle, y le comente lo que muchos me habian dicho, que el evento del domingo fue excepcional, mucha mucha gente nueva (casi 2000?) y muchas manifestaciones de los nuevos de estar encantados, que el les habia tocado el corazon…

Estaba sonriendo de oreja a oreja, dijo que algo bueno habia salido de todo esto, que el se dio cuenta que tenia que cambiar su sistema de eventos,   (que esto ha sucedido en India, Europa y otros lugares) que la decisión de las salas no deberia depender localmente de las comunidades, sino que seria un equipo internacional responsable, y las comunidades se deberian concentrar solo en que haya propagacion, que la gente llegue y lo disfrute…
Reluciente, contento, divirtiendose con todo…

El viaje a Lima fue magico, amoroso, lleno de energia y pasion por su mensaje  (durante el vuelo a Lima, sobrevolando el increíble desierto de Atacama, estaba imaginando que ejemplos podrian gustarle a los peruanos…).
Hablamos de que hace 35 años habia hecho su primer gira por Sudamerica, y como habiamos crecido desde entonces…

En Lima lamentablemente alguien de su entorno se engripo y en el vuelo a Santiago nos paso el virus a todos, estabamos todos moqueando mal en Santiago….  
Aun asi el muy amorosamente tuvo energias de reunirse con un grupito clave de premies para transmitirles su persperctiva y entusiasmo, y escuchar su feedback, y el evento pese a la gripe estuvo estupendo.

Es realmente un profundo privilegio tenerlo a el como maestro, y es muy inspirador ver el entusiasmo que hay en todos los lugares por su mensaje y por formar parte de su mundo….

Antes de despegar me dijo:  Please, thank everybody very much !

PREM RAWAT EN ARGENTINA_23 ABRIL 2011.m4v

Las Palabras de Prem Rawat


QUOTE OF THE DAY


In this audio file Maharaji talks about Facebook...


Words of Love and Familiarity

Share
A Race We Can Win


Timeless

Recently I was driving in very thick fog. We had to drive slowly because the fog was so dense, we couldn’t see very far ahead. We were on a winding road going uphill, and soon the fog had completely shrouded everything from view. It was like soup. It reminded me of what happens to us. When the fog comes, it obscures our vision. It stops us from seeing what we need to see to proceed on this path of life.
This is important because we have but one life. This life is everything. It doesn’t help to make comparisons between my life and other people’s lives, or to compare today with yesterday. I exist. I am alive. I need to understand my own passion, what my heart is telling me—in each moment, to be quiet enough so I can begin to hear what my heart is trying to tell me.
The world is a big place. A lot is going on, and many things call to me: “Do this; do this; do this.” Other things disguise themselves as fun, and they call to me too: “This is fun. Do this; do this; do this.”
But my life, my time, my existence is not about fun. It is about feeling contentment. It is about feeling joy. These are the needs of every human being. These are our desires, above and beyond everything else. How cleverly they get disguised.
What is true accomplishment? What is true reality? What is beyond the fog? When I woke up the next morning, the fog had lifted, and it was the most gorgeous sunrise you could possibly imagine. The light was incredible. What a contrast it was from fog to clarity, from what I couldn’t see to what I could see.
People talk about noise pollution and air pollution, but there is another pollution. It’s called thought pollution. We are constantly being bombarded by thoughts. It is so easy to allow yourself to get sucked into that river, just going with the flow. “Yes. This is important; that’s important.”
Yet everything will change. Nothing is exempt from the touch of change. Time has watched Earth being made. It has watched it cool down and watched the oceans appear. It has infinite patience. It has watched everything change and change and change.
Somehow, the human being was created and given the ability to feel. Of all the things I can feel, I can feel joy; I can feel peace. And I have in this life the possibility of not being affected by all the changes.
Without a worry about tomorrow or yesterday, I can feel fulfilled. When that fulfillment is there, it is timeless. Everything else is bound by time.
Most fortunate are those who say, “What I need to do today is to be in peace.” For them no explanation is needed. They understand the possibility that they can be content.
Life is not a conflict. It’s this beauty that is dancing for you. Witness this most marvelous dance. Witness the surprise. Witness the most amazing thing that will ever be. In your day, whatever else you do, be fulfilled. It is possible.
