Teachers of VirtueVirtue is not found in the world, it is wrapped up inside the soul and needs to be unfolded. To' save the soul' means to save the seed of virtue for the time, and place where the spirit reveals it to you. To understand it leads you into the heart of all the teachers of wisdom since ever this germ was found and fanned into life. Teachers are then called 'gardeners' of the soul, and teachers of the Way of the Spirit. From the Book of the Sayings of the Wise | ||

The Beast and the Man I meet a man with a hungry tiger in him-her , and was pretending to follow me, and allure me. I thought this is a beast, a tiger appeared in my thoughts and then I thought and heard: The tiger can only beat a man by ambushing, but a man can beat a tiger with good intelligence. What did this mean? I heard; Talk to the man with the beast in him-her breast: Friend, I said, A beast cannot win against a man who knows a beast is there. Cast out the beast within you and come and walk beside me. The man-beast was now afraid and called out : forget me, and say no more words to me, say you never knew me. The Spirit said within me, say to the man: Have no fear of me, I will never hurt you. No man can hurt another man; a man can only hurt himself. Hearing this the beast-man went away. But it was still hungry, and sought easier prey. The lesson to learn: the tiger symbolizes an invisible beast. A man can walk beside another man, but if the man is really a hungry beast, they cannot walk together, for the man will be killed and eaten for food. From the Book of the Wise | ||
The Book of the HeartThe Book of the Heart
The Heart is an open book,
For you to read it, you need to know the language,
For you to write in it, you need to know truth,
For you to know it, you need to be able to grow in the language and thoughts it presents,
To feel it, you need another to know you as you are,
To see it, You need love's soul to guide you to the consciousness of your true being and how it touched others with life.

The Breath of Sages and StudentsThe ancients sages knew the body and created the foundations of all knowledge we build today. No knowledge has been more consistent than the sciences that came from our spiritual teachers. OM Meditation builds prana, spiritual chanting builds prana and inspires creatures of nature too, and prana goes through flowers and fills the air with fragrances and innocent and simple people breathe in the spirit-infused air. Sun beams with invisible hands of angels fill chalices of prana-breath and drink it in invisible feasts of nature spirits who taste and inspire sleeping prophets, musicians, and poets. Who knows how to listen to them will learn the greatest secrets of healing - truth and goodness that fills the soul is a lighted and colorfully rich soul candle seen best when the darkness reveals it everywhere as human stars shining into the same eternity we ponder from the other side. | ||
The Call Come!"Do you imagine the universe is agitated?
Go to the desert at night and look at the stars.
This should answer the question."

The Creature and the Wise StudentWisdom Wisdom is a very special seed of the spirit. It comes through unknown channels and ways to us, but some teachers say it is here or there, and some are right, but when the seed is not found we are often troubled and believe it cannot come, or it is a myth. To find the seeds of Wisdom one needs to meditate each day and search for wisdom in words deeds, thoughts and actions. Then one day the light will illumine again and show the place where the seed of wisdom has spouted forth. That is how one knows this seed of wisdom, for it grows, it sprouts and grows as a new flower in a garden! Now some very important miracle happened after that!!! "Now" comes the teacher and he says to the student, "Go...get your water and clear the weeds, and feel how much of this is the miracle of love is born in you this day. Each day and water it, and care for it until it grows a fruit full of Seeds. Then you will have become Wise." And the student did this....and grew the fruit from the seed, and then came the animal of immortal life to the tree and spoke to the man of the next wisdom. Of this wisdom the man learns how to make himself immortal from the teaching of the little animal. When he became immortal he too became a creature and waited for a student to come to eat the fruit. When he came, the man who was now a creature, told the man how to become immortal too. And so the oldest and wisest creature is this Butterfly and his student. | ||
The Deepest KnowledgeBecause we are a Friends group, the intention of our friends group is to meet each other and give the gift of friendship. The world is always better through our extensions of love, appreciation, and friendship. Love is the deepest forms of knowledge we have. A great teacher becomes the friend of all...and rays back to those that follow him the color, the fragrance, the life of the place ahead. The goals of all development is to forget all that one treasures as learning so one can hear the souls of those that are students, and need to be heard. The space in the soul of the teachers is cleared through training in how to empty the soul and heart so that it can be filled again and again. | ||
