We are searching for love outside of ourselves. We are seeking to be loved, rather than to give love. A criteria of spiritual maturity is when we begin to give love, rather than to ask for love. Through developing love and devotion, we learn to love all beings. We develop our inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the divine source inside ourselves, through which we can let love flow through us, not only to benefit ourselves, but for the good of all.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["awareness","consciousness","devotion","life","love","meditation","psychology","spirituality","the-divine","the-good-of-all","truth"],"id":7157,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect always moves like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now. The more we develop our inner being, the inner source of love and truth, the inner quality of being here and now, the more we also have access to our intuition.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["her-and-now","in-the-moment","intuition","love","truth"],"id":9064,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"Traditionally men have created a deep split between the inner and outer world, between body and soul, between the material and spiritual world, between love and money and between male and female qualities. The inner man and woman are related to money, creativity and financial abundance. Through investigating the roots of the inner man and woman, we can find the creative potential of both the inner man and woman. Sometimes can either the inner man or woman also provide financial support for both sides, while the other side has the idea that it cannot support itself financially.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["body","creativity","financially","inner-man-and-woman","love","material-world","money","relationships","soul","spiritual-workd"],"id":9102,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"Awareness is a choiceless consciousness. Awareness is the capacity to embrace, accept and include both joy and sadness, love and aloneness, light and darkness, male and female qualities and life and death. Through saying “yes” and accepting both tendencies and including whatever aspect that happens in the moment, we meet our unlimited and boundless inner being. The inner man and woman need to find their own independence and integrity.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["acceptance","aloneness","awareness","darkness","death","female","inner-being","joy","life","light","love","male","meditation","moment","sadness","sorrow","yes"],"id":10265,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"When we are authentic, when we act out of presence and awareness, it also gives nourishment to the inner being of people around us.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["awareness","meditation","presence","psychology","spirituality","working-with-people"],"id":12980,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"Intuition is to develop a trust in yourself, and to the silent whisperings of your heart.

When you love, you have to become a nobody. When you are a nobody, love happens. If you remain somebody, love never happens.One becomes afraid of love, because love opens the inner emptiness.Love is not an effort. If love is an effort, it is not love.It is the same case with the ultimate experience, it happens when you do not make an effort. Then you can simply float with the river to the Ocean.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["ambition","consciousness","effort","ego","enlightenment","joy","life","love","mysticism","no-self","oneness","psychology","relationships","river","spiritual-growth"],"id":28986,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"Jesus was a man of love, of immense compassion. He loved this earth, the people, the threes, because that is the way to love God. God is life. Jesus is very life-affirmative. He says total yes to life. When you look into the eyes of each being that you meet, you meet God. Everybody is an incarnation of God - the threes, the flowers, the rocks, the animals, the people and the mountains. Love the people, love the threes, love the animals - and through the love you meet God. All are brothers here, because God is one. The threes, the flowers, the birds and the rocks are all your brothers, because they all come from the one source. If you are not reconciled with the world, you cannot pray to God. Prayer is only possible when you are in harmony with existence. The whole existence is your brother. The first step for prayer is to be reconciled with your brother. And your brother means all beings. Jesus is a celebration of being, a celebration of life. If you deny life, you deny God. If you say no to life, you say no to God, because God is life. To understand Jesus, you have to understand that life is God. If you say yes to life, you will feel a prayer arising in your heart, a yes arising in your being. The ego is a no to life, the ego is a separation from life. The inner being is a yes to life. The inner being is a deep yes and acceptance of life. Saying yes bridges you with the whole. It makes you a part of the whole. Saying yes will make you more and more spiritual. Jesus whole message is yes. The word 'amen' means yes. You will never meet God, you will meet human beings, animals, stones and threes. You can love God through other human beings, through threes, through stones and through animals. And when you have learnt to love God through all his forms - then only love changes into prayer.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["acceptance","animals","brothers","christianity","compassion","earth","ego","flowers","god","jesus","joy","life","love","meditation","mountains","prayer","relationships","religion","rocks","spirituality","truth"],"id":31994,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"When both the inner man and woman takes responsibility for themselves and lives their own truth, a joy and love begins to flow naturally between them. Through understanding both the inner man and woman, we understand that outer relationships simply mirror the relationship between our inner man and woman. This understanding gives us the opportunity to take conscious responsibility for our choices and our further steps towards spiritual maturity.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["awareness","creativuty","healing","inner-man-and-woman","joy","love","meditation","relationships"],"id":33174,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":147,"pages":15,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
