Empty yourself of all “self” – Quote by Sant Kirpal Singh

 
 

 
 

His life is your life – Quote by Sant Kirpal Singh

 
 

 
 

Who is good?

 

 

Good is he
Who is only of some use
To others?

Behind judging there is always a motive…
Selfish evaluation…

Self-cheating

We just want to hear
What we like
Any truth that is contrary to us
We sweep under the carpet

Are we afraid
That our innermost is discovered?

Are we anxious
That the truth harms others?

Are we frightened
That we lose appreciation?

Are we scared
That our ego is losing something?

It is an illusory world
That we are building
Leading us to dependency
On the opinions of others…

How much honesty towards ourselves do we have?…

Cry of my heart

 

 

My words are a cry
Of my heart
People, brothers, and sisters
Let’s not seek the fight
Battle among one another
Let us meet in kindness
With compassion and love
Let us free ourselves from hate
Of being better, of craving for power
To find each other in peace
Let our hearts speak
Not our mind

People, brothers, sisters
Let’s replace self-interest.
To help each other
Bury prejudices
Serving each other selflessly
Overcoming pride and ego
Finding our own mistakes
Not those of the others
To make us better
To be higher
To create envy
But to create harmony
Togetherness, not selfishness

People, dear brothers, sisters
We’re all one
No-one’s better, nor worse
In our hearts we are all equal
Let’s stop waging war
Because every war
Is a war against ourselves
Let our hearts speak
Not our mind…

This path begins
By ourselves – individually:
The way of love and generosity…

Let us begin – not tomorrow, NOW…

Blindly followed

A big mouth is followed
By many fools in large numbers…

I come first

Politics cannot work
Because each of the politicians and parties
Considers themselves better than others…

Who makes himself better
Is he really better?

Or is it not his own ego
That speaks and thinks like that?

Thus politics is a business
Everyone sells himself as expensive as possible…

Concern for others – suppressed

When thoughts only revolve around themselves
They have no room to worry about others….

DidiArtist, 04.12.2021

Have we forgotten how to differentiate?

Do human rights go so far
To put human lives at risk
Just because it is a matter of self-interest?

When individuals do not submit
To the welfare of all in peaceful coexistence
Not to see personal views represented
Does it then violate human rights?

It violates them only then,
If one’s own view becomes irresponsible
Towards other people
Knowingly or unknowingly
By their decisions
Putting the life and limb of others at risk

In the past, it was the smoker
Who forced his smoke on his fellow human beings
Today it is the mask refuser
Who see their freedom restricted
To decide for themselves

They do not see themselves as a risk
To infect others with Corona
As long as they are not infected themselves
They see only themselves
Not the other…

They say: it is then my death
Not the death of others
Not admitting that there is a risk
Bringing death to others
Without mask protection, without social distancing

They insist on their opinion
Whether with or without a mask
With or without distance
The result is the same for them
In doing so they are subject to a terrible error

They are people who think more of themselves
Rather than on the welfare of others
So-called rebels, lateral thinkers
Who hide behind their own ego

If I knew the mask only protected one percent
Then I know that I can protect at least one person out of 100…

Even that is better than
Exposing oneself and others
To a deadly uncontrolled danger
Without doing anything against it

So is my personal opinion
Not to consider it necessary
To wear a mask, to keep a distance
More important than the possible danger
To infect others (let alone oneself)?

Vision: A World of Peace

 

 

A world without weapons
Nonviolent thoughts
Brotherhood everywhere

A world without fear
Free life for all people
Without corruption

A world of sharing and caring
Without better and worse
Without comparison and condemnation

A world of respect
With dignity and honour
Without discrimination

A world of hearts
Among brothers and sisters
Without shadows

A world of togetherness
Living in the Garden of Eden
Without ego and selfishness

A world of unity
Of compassion and togetherness
Of One humanity

Possessed by Possession

Thousands of people sit
On their money and possessions
They do not know
That their possessions possess them

They are slaves to their greed
Sharing only with a few
Giving alms
To ease their conscience
To deceive themselves

They are the rich ones
Those who feed on the poor
Who suck the blood from them
Who know no shame

Their souls are bound by it
Their hearts have lost sight…

Humility

As long as we think we are the good guys
Humility is still far away…

DidiArtist, 03.09.2021

We are blind towards ourselves

Would we see the mistakes we make
How many times a day would we have to apologise

Would we see why we do or say something
We would see our selfish motives

Would we see how we treat other people
Our pride in ourselves would leave us

Would we see how we treat ourselves
Our theatre towards ourselves would end

Would we see how we struggle to gain advantages
Our self-respect would be at rock bottom

Would we see what we are doing with our lives
Would we be ashamed to the core

Would we see where our attention goes
We would perceive wasted time

Would we see the meaning of our life
We would become a different person….

Punishment as an expression of the ego

Silence and ignoring can also be hurtful
To punish as a selfish means

Killing in the name of

 

 

Man is still more animal than man
He kills in the name of God
In the name of religion,
In the name of the state,
In the name of a people
Hides his motives
Is hungry for power
Starves for more
Speaks of love
But hates in reality
Speaks of peace
But dreams of conquest, campaign
Is ego oriented through and through

When will he learn
That no one is a stranger
When will he learn
That all are one
When does he learn
That all are brothers and sisters
Children of the same God?
When?

Is he still killing then?
Will he still go to war?

Or does he then understand
What love really is?

Man is still more animal than man

Throwing stones in the glass house

 

 

There are people
They do not only want to criticise
Know everything better
Actually want to punish
Have a hidden reason for it

As Nietzsche said:
“They attack to hide that they are attackable”

Let us pass them in silence
Wishing them all the best

True Prayer

 

 

True prayers do not need approval from others
They come silently and sincerely from the heart
Are not pinned to one’s own breast
Like an order
They need no witnesses, no emphasis
Are selfless, addressed directly to God
Are neither materialistic nor selfish
Are full of compassion for others
Without attracting attention…

Fruit of ego

 

 

As we are enslaved by the mind
So we enslave others
Spread in this way
The seed of selfishness…

Virus: Ego and Mind

 

 

Ego and mind of a man
Is like a virus
It needs a host
To multiply his power through:

Money, selfishness, pride, greed,
Attachment – packed in wishes

Detachment is the solution

Even from oneself
To be one…Self…

This virus is spreading around the world
May we all find a serum against it

Selfishness has no hope

 

 

He can do nothing but stir up hatred
Separating people from each other
He boasts, is in love with himself
Defends himself with mockery and poison
In his words and gestures

He is a lout, knows no manners
Makes a mockery of himself all over the world
He cannot control himself
Entirely, he is an egoist
Knows only his own person

Are we blind not to see that?

He is ignorant, does not know what he is doing

Selfishness has no hope…

I feel sorry for such a person who is so blind

DidiArtist, 27.10.2020

 
 
 

They know-it-all

 

 

 

There are people
Who are blind and deaf
They abuse their power
Put themselves above everything
Know everything better
In all fields
Know more than a doctor
More than a virologist
They make empty promises
Out of them speaks
Pure egoism and lies

Are such people trustworthy?

Our prayers may accompany them
To make them a better person…

Our Earth, a living Being

 

 

O man, with billions of spines
You sting your own home
Destroy seas and forests
You take our air to breathe

O man, in your boundless greed
You eradicate diversity
Of countless species, creatures
You are destructive and unconscious

O man, for how long are you going on like this?
Before you realize, it is you
Who ruins our world
Our wonderful blue planet

O man, more and more species are disappearing
You stand there with the torch
And burn the ice of the world
Indeed, you are responsible

O man, how much more stupidity you have to commit
To realize that we are one
With our nature, this great organism called EARTH
To live with her in Harmony

Our earth will definitely present you the bill
If you think only of yourself…

Ignorant and unconcious

 
 

 
 

Many unconscious people
Trigger a catastrophe
Because they bear no responsibility
Are ignorant and selfish

Now, in these difficult times
They are outing themselves…

Destroyer of Love

 

 
 
 

“It’s your fault…”

 

 

Our problem:
We usually shift blame
Onto other people
Instead of finding
The cause in ourselves

I am an Alien

 

 

I live among people
Who hate each other, go to war
Where blind rage draws faces
Laws degenerate: eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Where people chase each other
To blame each other

I live on a planet
On which power, tyranny, egoism, money-greed rules
Where weapons and sharp words speak
Masses pour out in anger
Suppression is on the agenda
Man himself is next

I live in a boat called humanity
That staggers on the ocean violence
Where holes are chiselled in the planks
Threatening to sink the boat
Where stubbornness screams to the skies

Really, I live in this world
But I am not from this world

My heart belongs to the One
Where love is my home…

Political testimony: Excellent!

 
 

 
 

He, as a political leader, never lies
He always speaks the truth
He never points his finger at others
He does not make fun of others
He radiates peace and serenity
He insults nobody and is always polite
He does not seek the faults of others
He never twists the words
He is reliable and predictable
He is a living example for everyone
He never shows weaknesses
He is very educated, shares his knowledge with others
He is always humble and modest
He never speaks nonsense
He regularly pays a lot of taxes
He never praises himself, the others do
He promises many things and keeps his word
He is there for everyone and is unselfish for himself
He never exaggerates, underestimates

How nice that we have such leaders
Our world will definitely become better as a result

Dogmatic

Who says he’s right
Is certainly dogmatic
Hides behind this pretext
For fear of not being right…

DidiArtist, 25.09.2020

Gulch between man and man

 

 

Where differences exist
People split themselves
Fought out in understanding
In grade and shade

Where man takes sides
Roads are forking
Towards individual directions
When the spirit splits

Politics here, sports there
Parties here, groups there
Separate in fighting
For dogmatic views

Teeth hold on to opinions, ideas
In the alliance of collective egos
With war-voices: only we!
What a human failure

Understanding is fragmented
Unity sacrificed
For own advantages
Man thereby divided

Differences need connections
Bridges that unite
Build unities
Love between human and human

Oneness of love and peace among people
A new horizon of understanding
That we all are one
In the One…

A cosmic symphony, divine notes…
