Service: Check Ego Light is On
When you go to do any type of service, a bright green light should go on inside of us: Check the ego!
During service if someone has an idea that’s not making sense to you, do you snap back at them and try to get your way instead?
If while in the process of creativity (let’s just say, oh randomly, that it’s audio editing) and you were called in at the last minute to fix someone...

I'm just trying to be a good person
Being a “good person” is what most people idealize in life, especially in the United States. All they want to do is cause no harm to others and live a “lawful” life.
But is that really all there is? Animals are shown to have societies, manners in which to travel, acquire food, care for the young and shelter themselves. They live in large communities and groups and maintain...

You don’t work when you do service. It works on you.
– Gurudev has mentioned this in the past. When you collaborate together for a purpose that is Bigger than you . . . with no likes/dislikes/choices/preferences/opinions of your own save the perfection in attaining the goal … you reach a feeling that is truly indescribable.

Clarity before dawn
I’m thinking so clearly right now. 5 a.m. is not THAT early, but lately due to overtime at work, I’ve been waking up at 8:30.
In the hours from 4:30 a.m. onwards, there are no worries, no problems, only answers.
Meditation also happens superbly. I envy those that are able to wake up with perfect calm daily.

why moms rock
My mom just came back from her walk and surprised me with a delicious iced coffee. I was actually thinking of leaving my home and getting a cup, but she surprised me! It was absolutely perfect. I don’t know what it was, but it was EXACTLY the way I wanted it. I said “they’ve made it really well” and she said “I told them not to make it too sweet and to put more...

Of disputes and disagreements
Why are there so many disputes and disagreements?
We fail to realize daily that our happiness is coming from within. So in each and every moment, we are seeking someone else to bring us that happiness or closure.
With each deal, another chance to feel satiated. With another bite, sip, taste or touch, a moment of indulgent elation.
But if we all realized that none of the externals mattered, we...
