July 25, 2019 - Article from YRF.org Treasured Verses by Saint Kabir

Namaste readers!

Sorry for being away, i am officially back online!

I would like to start off with a wonderful offering, ''Treasured Verses by Saint Kabir'', translated by an inspirational Guru, Swami Jyotirmayananda Ji.

You can find more information at www.YRF.org, or simply visit the Ashram in Miami as well.

This article comes from the Yoga Research Foundation's Internal Yoga Guide, Volume  56: No 8, April 2019.

One of the verses that applies to us all, sits with the reaction to negativity.

What someone else does to us is their Karma, how we react is our Karma. We have the ability to turn a negative situation into a positive karmic impact by the choice of our thoughts, reactions and emotions.

''If someone sows thorns for you, then (instead of being bitter) sow flowers for him. Because then, for you there will be nothing but flowers (as a result of your goodness); but for the person (who has sown thorns), there will be the trident (Karmic punishment) awaiting for him. (By your act of goodness, the person will experience a spiritual transformation in the triad of Seer, Seen and Sight!)''
- International Yoga Guide page 20.

Please keep positive!

Namaste, Hari Om,

JAVA HAS BEEN A PART OF HINDU TRADItion since ancient times, finding first mention in theRamayana as Yawadvipa. It was one of the many places that Sugriva, ruler of the monkey kingdom of Kishkindha, sent his men to search for Lord Rama’s wife, Sita, after her abduction by Ravana. For thousands of years it has been depicted in the Ramlila dance dramas (and lately in television serials) as a huge, lushly green forested area and known as such to every Indian child.

Atharva Veda

He cannot be seen by the eye, and words cannot reveal Him. He cannot be reached by the senses, or by austerity or sacred actions. By the grace of wisdom and purity of mind, He can be seen, indivisible, in the silence of contemplation. This invisible Atman can be seen by the mind wherein the five senses are resting.
-- Atharva Veda
