  Grains...

If we throw a bag of grain into the street, pigeons may come and eat four or five small grains and then go away. They will not take more than they can eat...and having eaten... they go freely on their way. But... if we were to put many bags of flour on the sidewalk and invite people to come and get them...one man would take ten or twenty bags and another would take fifteen or thirty bags and so on....But those who do not have the means to carry so much away will not be able to take more than a bag or two. Thus the distribution will be uneven.

This is called advancement of civilization...We are even lacking in the knowledge which the pigeons, dogs and cats have. Everything belongs to the Supreme Lord and we can accept whatever we need but not more. That is knowledge. By the Lord's arrangement the world is made so that there is no scarcity of anything. Everything is sufficient provided we know how to distribute it. However, the deplorable condition today is that one is taking more than he needs while another is starving. (Raja-vidya)

  Spokes...

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it's the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a jar, but it's the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We hammer wood for a house, but it's the inner space that makes it livable. We work with being, but non-being is what we use. So often we forget what is important and what is not. This is when we need reminders. These reminders come in all manner of ways and it is up to us to recognize them for what they are. She who is centered...can go where she wishes without danger. She perceives the universal harmony, even amid great pain, because she has found peace in her heart.. The choice is yours.
