The mission we have on hand

We come to realize that we are functioning from that source which is forever unfolded. Through our meditational practices and the power of Gurushakti, or Grace, we are pushing forth automatically.

You can only share if you have something

You can only share if you have something—and in that sharing, an expansion takes place. The heart and mind expand in greater awareness, and everything around us assumes a form that we would never have dreamt of before. Everything becomes divine and beautiful.
