MORE MUSINGS FROM SHADY GROVE

Nothing will change while the system of Government stays the same. The only ones who can change the system of Government is the people.




People who have done a lot of hard work have strong character.




I relieve peoples' suffering
by not adding to it.




You can only remember the past NOW.
You can only imagine the future NOW.
Everyone is in the NOW.





Trust no future
however sweet.





When you reach a stage where there's nowhere to go, you'll find out there's nowhere
to come back to. In order to come back you have to go.




People are not interested in the unknown because they have never experienced it, therefore, they don't trust it.




Do understand - there can be no chicken without and egg. There can be no egg without a chicken. Only a fool would ask, "what came first the chicken or the egg?" They appear and disappear together as one.




If there wasn't such a thing as 'God', Then why do we have a word 'God'? Years ago there was no such thing as space travel. We made a 'rocket' and the word 'rocket' became part of our vocabulary. When we didn't have the word 'car' in our language, there was no such thing as 'cars'.




God and the word 'God' are inseparable.




Chasing happiness is a fools game.
Keep still and it will manifest
of its own accord.




Myself, I would like everyone to be happy.




When one is doing what they truly love
there is no such thing as time.




Love is not timebound.
It is a timeless state.




Everyone has experienced love in their life.




Love and god are inseperable.




Whatever you need in life,
it will be there for you
when you need it.
You brought it with you
when you appeared.




Once you mortgage your life to something, don't complain that you have no time.




If you would like your life to change, first you have to know what you would like it to change to.





Before change, your work is in the imagination.
After change, you deal with facts.




I used to think I knew everything that was going on in my life and where I was going, until I took Sanyas. From then on, I realized nothing. That was 18 years ago. Today I know even less.




If you see me through a quiet (disciplined) mind you will have instant recognition of me as I AM. If you see me through an undisciplined mind that is fraught with waves, then you will see me as you want to see me. How I appear to you is none of my business.




Look at your reflection in a pool of water. Then throw a stone in the water and tell me what the difference is.




I appear and the world appears.
I disappear and the world disappears.
That is the nature of appearances.




I don't need a car.
The body needs a car.




I had a hard time with that one. That was difficult for me, years ago, seeing myself in others and others in myself.




There is only one.




Needing anything to make you happy is a failure.
Relying on anything time bound for your happiness
is doomed to failure.
