"I often feel as if my life were a lamp: a temporary container filled with life, a flow of energy condensed and held together for a little while in a mysterious, marvelous living cosmic unit, linked with the rest of the Earth and the heavens through material, touchable elements and immaterial, invisible elements."

Robert Muller - Decide to ...

"To be unhappy, to be ungrateful, not to feel wonder and appreciation for the incredible gift of life is a most foolish and short-sighted attitude. The toughest prison of all is that which man imposes upon himself." Emissary of Hope

 

"Your ultimate goal is to be happy. Where is that happiness? Within you. If you want to have permanent happiness, it will never come from outside. You are happiness and peace personified. Find that happiness and peace within you."- His Holiness Sri Swami Satchidananda

Decide to be a global citizen

   
 
A good inhabitant of planet Earth
A member of the great human family
Pray, think, act, feel and love globally
And you will aggrandize yourself

to the outer limits of being

 
Know this planet
Love this planet
Care for this planet
For you come from Mother Earth
And you will return to Mother Earth
You are made of her elements
You are the Earth, become conscious

of herself.

 
You are her eyes, her ears, her voice,

her mind and her heart

 
 
Save your Mother Earth

from her matricidal children

who destroy her

who divide her

who spike her with nuclear arms

 

who hold their territories to be

greater than the globe

and their groups

greater than humanity

 
Unite, global citizens,

to save and heal planet Earth

 
And to make our Mother bloom again
As the most beautiful planet
in the universe

Take health as your sacred, God given duty
Make no room whatsoever for the slightest

thought of sickness

Never

 
Encourage your trillions of faithful

little cells through joy,

happiness and confidence

 
Thank them, talk to them, sing to them
 
Let no foul air, food and liquids poison you
Let no anger, anxiety or bitterness enter you
 
Wake up every morning with gratitude for

your resurrection

 
And repeat ten times

I am the happiest and

healthiest person on earth

 
Repeat it again before your sleep
 
Close your eyes on the thoughts of God,

good health and happiness

 
And thank your Father in heaven

Who has given us a body

never to be sick

A mind never to be dull

A consciousness never to be empty

 

And a spirit full

of the heavens and of the Earth
 
 
   

 

"We need every part of capacity of our being to live a fulfilled life: body, mind, heart and soul.  To neglect any of them is to diminish ourselves, to commit partial suicide."

 

"Happiness, i.e. fulfillment, plenitude of oneself, maximum consciousness, love for one’s life should be the main concern and objective of life and of society.  The feeling of happiness is the test that we are doing the right thing, that we are in gear with the universe and fulfilling the will of God."

 

"The greatest benefactors of humanity are ... those who give help, hope and happiness to people."

 

 

OUR DREAM 3000

by Robert Muller & Barbara Muller

 
We dream that we humans, the most advanced miracle
of life in the universe will lift our sights, hopes and dreams to the year 3000
and make the third millennium a tremendous, unbelievable cosmic success.

We dream that all governments will join their minds and hearts
to manage this beautiful Earth and precious humanity in peace, justice and happiness,

That all religions will join in a global spirituality,

That all people will become a caring family,
That all scientists will join in a united, ethical science,

That all corporations will unite in a global cooperative to preserve nature and all humanity.

We believe that once and for ever,
we will eliminate all wars, violence and armaments from this miraculous planet.

We dream that the incredible and growing distance between rich and poor,
between and inside nations will be eliminated as a blemish to the miracle of life.
We dream that we will stop the destruction
of our miraculous, so richly endowed planetary home.

We dream that we will eliminate all lies, corruption and immoral advertisements for purely monetary purposes.

We dream that we will all live simple, frugal lives in order
not to waste unduly the precious resources of our planet.

We dream that each decade and centennial will be celebrated as a great
world-wide thanksgiving for our successes.

We dream that we will succeed in making our planet the ultimate success of God,
of the mysterious forces of the universe of which each of us is a miraculous, cosmic unit.

Dear brothers and sisters, dear children, youth, adults and elderly, dear spirits of all the departed let us join forces in fulfilling God's loving destiny intended for all of humanity

Let us prepare the year 3000 as the most extraordinary celebration
of our grandiose, mysterious journey in the star studded heavens.

Let us make this third millennium a Jubillennium filled with overflowing peace, tremendous love, happiness and thanksgiving.
