SPIRITUALITY REFLECTION

The vision experience of the world is but a projection of our mind and the reflection of our inner thoughts. As the thought, so the vision. The colour of the glasses you wear determines the colour of what you see. If you wear red glasses, everything will appear red. If you wear green glasses, everything will be green. Pure thoughts make the world appear pure. If you view things with love and a loving heart, the whole world will appear a reflection of love. (Satha Sai Speaks, Vol. 15, p. 39)

Similar thought: "As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man" (Proverbs 27:19, NIV).



Spirituality,
as life lived in the Spirit of God
enables you to:

   ·  Address your hunger for depth and meaning in life.

 

·   Move more from self-centredness to God-centredness.

·  Begin to experience being divinely empowered in life.

·  Meet life with greater love, peace, and joy.

·  Better navigate all of life’s circumstances.

·  Live life more fully and abundantly.

·  Appreciate more  the interconnectedness of all life.

SPIRITUALITY REFLECTION

When the night grows chill, don't you draw the blanket closer around you? So, when grief assails you, draw the warmth of the Name of the Lord closer around your mind. (Satha Sai Speaks, Vol. 4, p. 33)

Similar thought: "Our help is in the name of the LORD" (Psalm 124:8, NIV).
