Sant Satguru Sadhu Ram in a talk/satsang given this evening, New Delhi, India time, quoted his Guru, Sant Satguru Ajaib Singh ji: This (spiritual) path is sharper than the edge of sword.
Then Sadhu Ram ji said: It’s easier to climb on (get on) the cross than to carry on with love (It’s more difficult to maintain living this life with love.) (Yet) Love is very close by, within.
Satguru’s Court is more beautiful than everything else. There is no other door like this one. Satguru’s Court is more beautiful than everything else.
He puts the forgetful ones on the straight path. He makes the lost souls meet the Creator. Come, those who want to make their life successful.
He has made the likes of the dirt of the alleys successful. I, the lowly one, am embraced by the Higher Ones. One will not find such a Master.
Ajaib Ji has cast His gracious sight. He has filled the empty jholi of Sadhu Ram. I will never lose the gifts You have given me.
So please, why not throw something into my begging bowl?
Why is Rumi begging from His پیر? Because this physical reality is too harsh, even for Saints like Rumi as they compose poems. We don’t know what’s behind all this “Maya” or illusion unless the Guru پیر and the “Word” or “Naam” put us in the state of consciousness where we simply absorb true knowledge and feel the love that has created and sustains all.
We’re dyed in the color of this world but the ones who are initiated by a perfect master, Guru مرشد کامل، پیر learn how dyed their mind in the color of Naam. It comes in Gurubani that it is only by getting dyed in the color of Naam we can reach salvation. So we pray that we may be intoxicated with Naam so we can be one with uOu.
Poem above is by Rumi and آرش تبرستانی has given his interpretation of the poem in Persian. Basically they are saying that most people don’t see this world as reality and don’t look behind the invisible curtain. And the ones who do look and see are either considered mad, crazy or mentally disoriented. But Rumi is saying wait a second اوست دیوانه که دیوانه نشد ‘the one who hasn’t gone mad is the mad one’.
Your body is the temple of God, O man, Satguru is sitting inside. You will not find anything outside, everything is inside you, O man.
You clean and sweep the temples made of stones and bricks, you ring bells and conch every day, you burn incense to add fragrance. What benefit does outer bathing do, inside you the ocean is flowing, O man.
You read Vedas, Puranas and Granths, but you have never practiced. His will is understood by those who have won over the mind and the world. Even after winning the entire world, Sikandar (Alexander the Conqueror) left empty handed, O man.
I meditated on Satguru Ajaib’s Naam and I saw God. Sadhu Ram woke up in the ambrosial hour and took a dip within. The body and the mind became pure, I became intoxicated and carefree, O man.
Mind, the very essence of Kal, has wrecked the garden through force, violence and hierarchy in religion.
When will this mind surrender and when will this ego leave me be?
Satguru ji, ای مرشد کامل, please take these coverings off my soul by showering your grace.
You’re the light of all lights Master, ای پیر من, my salvation in your hands.
Let’s cover up my faults behind this wine stained initiation rope for, uOu, my Guru پیر، is coming. And I might get a chance to be forgiven, I’m sure I will, by the shower of uOs grace I’ll be cleansed once again even for just a moment.
If you know some Persian Google the poem in Persian and enjoy reading the whole poem.
I don’t care if you call me an infidel. I’ll be an infidel of Love if I don’t worship Shamms.
He’s openly referring to his deep devotion to his پیر Master. But حافظ Hafez is more loved in Iran, his book of poetry in almost every house, because the codes he used such “pray” in the verse above can be interpreted in many ways; give me a good job, a good spouse, etc, to give me a taste of your Divine Love for that is all I need.
حافظ Hafez means the one who has memorised all of Quran/Koran. حافظ comes from حفظ memory, something we all have as well as the potential to memorize a whole book line by line. So when in a last verse we hear the word حافظ Hafez, especially in Persian, we don’t just think about the poet, the mystic, the Master who wrote the poem, we hear that potential within us to be حافظ Hafez. The last line of the stanza where حافظ Hafez often uses his name as if reminding himself is in fact a message to us, at the level of our individual capacity to be with the Divine.
Hey gardener what’s going on?
Why are you giving me so much trouble?
If I’ve taken some of your grapes you’re taking away my stomach.
The Ocean of Love or The Anurag Sagar of Kabir is epic poem which “centers around the impact of Time on Eternity and Eternity’s response. It is Eternity which is the anurag sagar, or “ocean of love,” and it’s Time’s perversion of that part of Eternity which it touches which produces the bhav sagar, “ocean of the world” – the only reality most of us know, the mock world we are trapped in.
The creator of the bhava sagar, “ the butcher Kal” (Kal means, literally, Time) is mad: one of the sons of Eternity (San Purush, Ture or Original Person), Kal or Time was unable to handle the separation from his father that the creation process demanded, and went mad. Ignoring the wishes of Eternity, he misused the tools of creation entrusted to him and, through his impatience and megalomania, created a sewer where a garden was intended. Convinced that he is God, demanding to be worshiped as God, and setting up a Law so stringent that no one can keep it,he presides to his day over a closed-circuit universe that would be utterly without hope if it were not for the fact that, as the poet Blake puts it, “Eternity is ever in love with the product of Time.” Because Eternity does love those of us caught in the trap of Time, It has set up a series of invasions in which the true Reality enters into the mock universe and illumines it, awakening those who are ready to gasp the truth and showing the the way out.
How much my body has suffered, only True Satguru knows. If you meet a Perfect Master only then the soul reaches the true destination.
May my body and mind become a mirror so I could have the Darshan of my Master.
Not even after dying, could I forget the favors of my Master.
I could never feel satisfied looking at Him, His Darshan to me is like millions of pilgrimages. I bow down to pay respect to my Satguru.
For Whom this life is suffering, only He knows what is in my heart. No one has the medicine for this ailment; my affliction is for my Master.
The sleep does not come into my eyes, Your remembrance torments me. Even today these two eyes are only waiting for the Master.
In the end, Ajaib will save Sadhu Ram and take him across. The court of the Master never disappears from my eyes.
Repeat the Unrepeated and with the grace of the Perfect Master, test it.
Keeping the wing of mind at rest, see the Shabda; and climbing the mind, finish you Karma.
Merging into the Essential Shabda, go to the world of immortality.
To die while still alive, to reach the state of Samati, has been the goal and the message of the Masters. Rumi is talking about the kind of death which erases his sense of ego and the desire to die in that sense, he says, has kept him alive and now old.
Then he uses the metaphor of a wheat grain which has the potential to be sowed and turned into a plant and more wheat produced from it which shows the ego of the seed, no matter how small to us human beings, nevertheless an identity and ego of a seed. But once it enters the mills and gets crushed into flour it loses its identity as a seed. It has the potential to become part of a loaf of bread but it’s individual seed ego is no longer recognizable. It can become one with the bread. And once a Master enters the state of Samati and loses the ego, uOu becomes one with the Beloved, the Creator, the all Compassionate and Merciful. Finally the Master comes back from the state of Samati and fully occupies the body with all it’s worldly senses (touch, smell, taste, sight, etc.) and gets the minimal ego needed to identity with the body. The Master may not enjoy this “normal state” as much as the state of samati but the disciples are elated to be in presence of the One who has been drenched with love and compassion in the field beyond the ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing and has come to shower them with that grace.
The Persian word شیر means milk as well as lion. One who reads this verse in Persian could on a subliminal level think of the hair as the metaphor for part the person, the strength of a person. Hence Rumi might also be saying; If I become as daring and strong as a lion then I could enter the state of Samati.
The more practical part of our brain will say that Rumi is talking about getting old so of course he’s talking about the color of milk and hair turning white as we age. However just the fact that this idea crossed my mind that he might also be referring to lion, shows me the power of Rumi’s poetry if read in a delightful Persian language and especially if we get lucky to have a day or even an especial hour to contemplate on one or two of His verses.
From a talk, Satsang, given by Sant Sadhu Ram on January 01, 2004 in New Delhi, India.
Saints and Masters have in one way or another tried to say the same thing but in different languages and ways according to their circumstances and the way they were assigned to give that message. From the word of mouth and the translations this is what Jesus said, “I’m the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved” – while He was alive, in the body. Jesus wasn’t afraid to die and neither was Hafez. The Middle Eastern folks has shown that they’re into martyrdom and it’s a blessing if “God” is willing. Hafez was to write poetry in a delicate way instead of having his head chopped off by the clergy – and to write in such a beautiful way in such a beautiful language to reveal the secret behind the curtain in a way that the clergy couldn’t accuse Him of blasphemy even though some tried. And Jesse had another mission before He was put on the cross and returned to His Father’s Home at such young age.

What’s blue and white and filled with beauty? The old city of Essaouira of course.
Located just two hours from Marrakech, it’s the perfect two-day escape from the hustle and bustle of the Red City.
So when people often ask why I love it there, I can’t really explain. Because you see there are no major sights or attractions. But the vibe is cool. Making it the perfect place to spend two days. Any more and you may get bored.
Wandering through the gorgeous old medina.
Enjoying walks along the rugged coastline.
And scouring the silver markets and old carpet markets where only locals seem to go. Or least people with a hair colour other than red.
No trip to Essaouira is complete with a trip to my favourite music shop to listen to new artists, and then pick some up to add to my CD collection.
I almost always leave with a sunburn because there is just nothing better than lounging around on the beach.
And before I know it, it’s time to head back to Marrakech.
So a few tips: Lunch at Ferdaouss Restaurant. Drinks at Caravane Cafe. Sunset at Il Mare under the Berber tent, listening to the sound of the ocean.
Coming to Morocco? Include this in your itinerary. Need help finding a guide? Let me help!
I loved our getaway there. Please come back soon. For privacy purposes I decided not to include your photo with a beef carcass. But I do seem to have quite a collection of carcass photos so perhaps a future blog post?!?!!

The “blue hour” is that brief but magical moment of twilight, either early in the dawn, or late in the dusk, when the sun is at a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. My goal was to create a VAST photo capturing San Francisco at that special moment - but first I had to find the perfect location.
The "City By the Bay" is located on a geologic fault line, which means that there is no shortage of scenic overlooks, dramatic views, and picturesque locations. That being said, Twin Peaks is one of my favorites. It offers a great vantage of the entire downtown San Francisco area, with a straight view down Market Street all the way to the famous Ferry Building. In the background, you can see the recently reinvigorated Bay Bridge, with all its dancing lights.
On this particularly cold evening, I worked my way past the main viewpoint, and down the hillside where I could be in perfect position. I wanted to be able to see the famous Ferry Terminal building all the way at the end of Market Street. I sat on the side of the hill and waited for the sun to go down behind me and for all the other visitors to leave. In the span of about ten minutes, the temperature dropped about 15 degrees, and the wind picked up dramatically. Without the extra layers and a sturdy tripod, this shot would not have happened.
While I waited for the light to be just right, I reflected on how I was witnessing San Francisco at a pivotal moment of its history, with the nearly completed construction of the West Coast’s tallest building, Salesforce Tower. With such explosive economic growth from the tech sector, this city has seen a lot of changes in the past ten years, some for the better, and some not. I have been part of those changes in many ways, and when you sit upon one of its predominant hills, you are confronted with how much the city is alive and evolving right in front of you.
Facing east towards downtown, my goal was to wait for the moment when all the lights within the city were illuminated, but the sky still had enough light to have the beautiful blue color I was looking for. Once the sun set below the horizon, the light changed at a dramatically fast pace, giving me precious-little time to capture the many exposures that I would stitch together to create this image - all while my fingers were going numb.
After successfully capturing the necessary images within the fleeting time window, I packed up my gear and hiked back up the hillside, excited to begin the technical process of using the source material I had just acquired to generate this VAST photo, one of the highest resolution photographs ever created.
This 363-megapixel VAST photo is one of the highest definition photographs ever created. It has a resolution equivalent to 175 HDTVs.

text: My favourite part of school this week was making a piggy bank.One thing I have learnt this week is how to do my times tables in maths. This is important because I can help other people with them. My goal from last week was to work harder on my work. I did not achieve this because I keep talking to people. My new goal for next week is to not talk to people when I am doing my work.

My friend T is a “nice guy.” And I mean that without any of the not-as-good connotations it might have (see Develle Dish’s controversial post, “Dear Duke Guys…”). T fancied a girl Ample Cushion (mind you, this is a reference to the amount of space you have in a car to travel if an accident occurs, which is why small cars can be so dangerous).
I would argue gay and queer cultures exist as something distinct and somewhat nested in sexual orientations themselves. Gay pride and the culture that has since developed among the LGBT community is something that originated through the common resistance to the divisions and prejudices of mainstream society. I am not against the LGBT community’s existence, but I believe that as a result of mass media underrepresentation and a need for more progress to social equality, we have internalized stereotypes of queer culture to the point that we are still making too many assumptions about what is gay or not.
Yes! I'm so glad that someone is addressing this issue here. I've had so many issues with this at Carolina and honestly it just drives me up the wall.
I think that it's great that you let him off the hook in his emotional down time, but I would make sure that you at least had a conversation with him later about why what he said was both hurtful to the SGM (sexuality and gender minority) community and to the larger community since it hurts both people who are closeted, not comfortable in their sexual orientation/gender identity or just your run of the mill absolutely wonderfully fantastic heterosexual male who just wants to be himself but doesn't have the courage to stand apart from the hyper masculine ideal put upon him.
In any case, I hope you talk to T and I hope that SGM communities everywhere take a lesson from this post.

text: We had the Sales family from Waterloo, IA who are relatives of my wife, Capt. Diana out today for a 10 hour inshore Bluefin trip and what a trip it was. We started out north of the fleet trolling as we took our time running out this morning as it was a little bumpy and most of the group had never been saltwater fishing before and I did not want anyone to get sick. We deployed the standard Bluefin spread I used over the last 15 years or so with a planner rod and a couple of lures with large Ballyhoo wwwwwwwback and then some. Eventually we put out some baits on our short riggers hoping we might attract a Yellowfin bite as we heard some nice size 60-70 lb. ones were caught not too far from our location. With not much happening for us on the troll we decided to go to plan B which was to drop some jigs down to see what would happen because at various times we had seen some great tuna and bait marks right along the bottom. It was only a matter of a minute before we were hooked up. We ended up with 8 nice Bluefin all over 50 inches and we kept our legal one that weighed 78 pounds. We estimated a few of the released bluefins were close to 90 pounds. Not a bad day and we are having the whole family over tonight for Sashimi.

How should employees give notice when they are sick?
› Blog Articles › How should employees give notice when they are sick?
it makes sense for the policy to require the employee taking leave to have to speak to a person in management. Such a requirement generally is not unreasonable and will not prevent an employee whom is genuinely unfit for work, or required to provide care or support to a member of his or her immediate family or household, from making such contact and providing notice.
What constitutes a family emergency when giving employees’ carer’s leave?

It's startling to hear that Greg Graffin, founder of the L.A. punk institution Bad Religion and a UCLA biology professor, doesn't believe in strict Darwinian evolution. Turns out, the tweedy frontman has a more chaotic explanation for life. Look for Bad Religion performing around SoCal in the coming weeks, starting with Friday's House of Blues show in Anaheim.
BAD RELIGION HAS ALWAYS USED WONKY SCIENCE TERMS IN ITS LYRICS. . . .
I've always been on a quest to use science in an artful way. The words we choose are a little easier than the early days, but they're just as analytical.
DO ANY STUDENTS TAKE YOUR CLASS BECAUSE THEY LIKE YOUR BAND?
I get a few students who ask if I can get them backstage, but you'd be surprised how few. Most of them are serious medical students who aren't into music.
DO OLDER FANS BRING THEIR KIDS TO SHOWS?
Bruce Springsteen brought his kid to a show in New Jersey. Bruce and I had common ground -- he put out a folk record when I did -- but his son was just stoked to be backstage. The shows in L.A. are star-studded events, and for whatever reason, their kids like Bad Religion.
BAD RELIGION'S "LOS ANGELES IS BURNING" WAS A RECENT HIT, AND THE COVER FOR "NEW MAPS OF HELL" SHOWS AN APOCALYPTIC HOLLYWOOD. ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED IN L.A. AS A WRITER NOW?
Lately I've been more sentimental [about L.A.]. Every place has its own punk flavor, but they all borrowed ideas from SoCal. It's still a vibrant scene creeping into every crevasse of youth culture. When you hear grunge, you think of the '90s, but when you hear L.A. punk, it's timeless.
ANY OTHER SOLO PROJECTS, LIKE A FOLLOW-UP TO FOLK ALBUM "COLD AS THE CLAY"?
I'm trying to write a book that takes over from where [staunch evolutionist] Richard Dawkins left off when he said that God or natural selection are the only two choices when we think of the big questions. I counter that there's another option . . . a much more chaotic way that suggests every level of biology is pretty much anarchic.

BROWN. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you to my colleagues for the terrific work they have done on such an important issue, which in my State sort of began in the most rural of the areas of the State and spread and spread and spread. This is the right kind of comprehensive response for this, but as Senator Whitehouse just said, it means real funding for CARA and what we are doing.
I am pleased we are coming together in a bipartisan way overall, finally taking action on the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities across our country.
We know some of the statistics. More people died in my State than in the country as a whole in 2015 from opioid [[Page S1402]] overdoses rather than they did from auto accidents. We are experiencing a record number of fatal overdoses. There is no State and probably county untouched by the scourge.
We need to remember the human cost of addiction. In Warren, OH, a couple of weeks ago, there was middle-age woman who now has a child now in his midtwenties who has suffered addiction for a dozen years, has been in and out and is doing better, and then falls back. His family is affluent, so his treatment has been better than some. But she says that when there is an addiction, it afflicts the whole family. Nobody is really exempt.
In my State, 2,500 Ohio families in one year lost a loved one to addiction. Thousands more continued to struggle with opioid abuse or with a family member's addiction. It is not an individual problem or a character flaw. It is a chronic disease. Right now, it is placing an unbearable burden on families and communities in our health care system. That is why we need to tackle this at the national level.
It is why I am encouraged to see us debate this Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, or the CARA Act. The ideas in this bill are an important first step in tackling the epidemic, but they are just the first step. On their own they are not nearly enough to put a dent in this epidemic. The initiatives are going to mean very little--and here is the key point that both Senator Casey and Senator Whitehouse made-- without additional funding to back them up.
My colleagues Senator Shaheen of New Hampshire and Senator Whitehouse introduced an amendment that would have provided an additional $600 million to fight the opioid epidemic. That would be a serious commitment in putting the ideas in this bill into place into action.
But my colleagues on the other side of the aisle blocked this investment. Again, they want to do things on the cheap. They want to pass things to pat ourselves on the back but not provide the funding to actually accomplish things. It would block the investment in health professionals and communities who are on the frontlines of this battle.
You simply can't do a roundtable with health professionals and people working toward recovery and families affected by it without hearing from them. They need resources locally. The States aren't coming up with it adequately. They need resources, and they need real investment in prevention programs. We need real investment in treatment options to help patients not just get cured and get clean but stay clean.
Earlier this year, I introduced the Heroin and Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention and Reduction Act with my colleague Senator Baldwin of Wisconsin. Our bill would boost prevention efforts that would improve tools for crisis response. It would expand access to treatment, and it would provide support for lifelong recovery, the kind of serious investment we need to back up our rhetoric.
In public health emergencies, we are sometimes, somehow able to come up with necessary money--swine flu, Ebola, Zika virus. But addiction is not a public health emergency. Addiction is a public health problem, but one we need to fund in an ongoing way. You can look at the spike in the number of deaths. You can conclude nothing else but that it is a long-term public health problem. Too many lives have been destroyed. Too many communities have been devastated. I am just puzzled why my colleagues won't come up with $600 million for this very important public health program. It is time to get serious. It is time to call it what it is--the public health crisis that demands real and immediate investment, not more empty rhetoric, not more empty gestures.
