Thought of the Month "It is our shared experience to have pain and suffering. Many of the great teaching that have come down to us are about this very fact, and about the tools we have been given to become free. Jocelyn's disappointment is because of her attachment to the results of actions and so she will continue, as we all do, to be trapped in the wheel of karma. Only by relinguishing the fruits of our actions can we free ourselves. How are we to do this? By sacrifice - sacrificing each of our actions to God, releasing all self-interest, all selfish desire. I am this, I am that, I want this, I want that, this is mine, that is mine...the list goes on. And so we remain prisoners to our desires and to the things that we have. We believe that we have things, but in reality they have us. This may seem to be little consolation to someone who is ill, and perhaps dying. That is because it is being heard only on an intellectual level. When this becomes our truer vision, coming about through right thinking, right speech, and right effort, our vision changes and the possibility of equanimity arises. It is of little consequence to share these thoughts with someone not prepared to understand. So we begin at a different point in the journey - diet & nutrition, herbs, exercise, hygiene, relaxation practice, meditation, yoga, purifying our thoughts, and so on through the various tools of kriya. There is one other factor, a great unknown, and that is G-d's Will." -by R' Rene A thousand times I asked my guru, 'The name of the One who is known by No-thing', Tired and exhausted was I, asking time and again; Out of Nothing emerged Something, bewildering and great!
