three miracles of jesus

There

are three miracles of our

Brother Jesus not yet recorded in the Book:

the first that he was a man like you and me; the second that

he had a sense of humor; and the third that he

knew he was a conqueror though

conquered.

 

Kahlil Gibran

 

Why do

people hate Jesus,

or at least prefer the ethereal dead

version known as Christ? Because Jesus made

outrageous demands: Love your enemy,

renounce material possessions,

give all you have to

the poor.

 

Barbara Ehrenreich

 

A

conservative is

someone who admires radicals

centuries after they’re

dead.

 

Leo Rosten

 

 

Think of the life

of the great Master Jesus Christ

who was the soul of religion — one sees

that from beginning to end there was nothing

but love and forgiveness. The best expression of love

is that love which is expressed in forgiveness.

Those who came with their wrongs, errors,

imperfections, before the love, that was

all forgiven; there was always a

stream of love which

always purified.

 

Hazrat Inayat Khan

 

this brightly conscious lifespan

we all have the clear bright field

 

A horse strays

into a cave of lions. You move

deeper into your desire for sex, for art

and wealth. There will come a time when your

life is a blank, but has there ever really been a time

when human beings were not cared for? For thousands

of years we had no identity, yet we managed to arrive

in this amazing moment, this brightly conscious

lifespan. Who gave us such restlessness

to know and be?

 

Bahauddin, father of Rumi

The Drowned Book

 

you will often be thought crazy

in a great storm the wise bird

 

On

the road to

realization you will

will often be thought crazy. 

At times you may actually be

crazy. Both phenomena are

best endured with

stillness and

humor.

Activity grounded in truth

brings good fortune.

 

It is

a time when

great progress can be made

through effort of will. However, it is essential

that all your activity be characterized by humility,

conscientiousness, and adaptability. Progress

as a tree does, bending around obstacles

rather than confronting them,

pushing upward steadily

but gently.

 

There

is nothing to be feared

from others now. Be neither subservient

nor forceful with those you encounter; simply meet

everyone with tolerance and gentle goodwill.

Those who look for the good

in others find it

there.

 

If fears

or doubts intrude,

remain quietly focused on

the activity at hand. Cultivate inner

independence and trust the leadership of

the Sage. The time is ripe for progress

if you put forth an effort that is

innocent, sincere, and

balanced.
