In all these births, Ego has cast a veil in front of our eyes and we keep hurting others. This pain that we give others will follow us wherever we go, whichever birth we take. They will follow us like debt collectors. Only way out is Repentance and a lot of prayers and sending love and compassion to all sentient beings that will heal their wounds. Only love and compassion and repentance from pure heart can help us get rid of all the karma. Life is too short to waste on materialistic subjects.

When we form relationships with people, we do not seek to benefit ourselves. If we form relationships for
self-aggrandizement, this damage morality.
~ Buddha

When we practice generosity, we do not expect a reward. If we expect to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, then we have ulterior motives.
~ Buddha

When we see something beneficial, we do not seek to profit from it. If we seek to profit from what is beneficial, the mind of ignorance is active.

Infact all of us have supernatural power. Sometimes you may have used it without your knowing. And no body talked or recorded what you had done. So you think only masters or gurus can do that.
On Wednesday night, A student SMS to me and said that she wanted to have a lesson tomorrow and she would like to have no rain. So I announced it to the class, " Irene said that there will be no rain tomorrow." The whole of this month and next month, we experience heavy rainfall most of the time. True enough there was no rain yesterday and we had a nice session doing Tai Chi.
A student was talking to me over the phone. Her father had been given a lot problems to the family, complaining and throwing anger all the time. The whole family did not know what to do. She remembered one of the students using my name to chase away the demons in his dream. So she did the same thing. She put her hand round her father shoulder and called my name. The effect was good.
The actual fact is everyone has such power. When they called my name, it is their own powerful light coming out from their heart to do the work or to pacify the difficult situation. Learn to train to open up your heart and let the light radiates out with love and compassion so that anyone who comes here will swim in your sea of compassion and love.

To recognise our nature, we need to develop the actual state of mental quiescence. It is a placement of the mind in single-pointed concentration on the con-conceptual nature of things and is free of mental dullness, agitation and floggy-mindeness.
Just as a pigeon released from a boat in mid-ocean can do nothing but return to its ship, your mind, no matter how much activity it has, can only return to its settled state once you have achieved quiescence.

Your mind should not indulge itself in mental wandering whether you are walking, sitting or lying down. Then it becomes stable, relaxed, at ease, alert, clearly reflecting whatever happen and more toned down.
At all times your mind should be stable like Mount Meru and clear like a mirror able to reflect anything. You should not be excited or inquisitively looking everywhere. So when you are able to maintain your mental composure, this is also the sign of mental quiescence.
