Where is the Love?
Go out of your way to make others happy. You cannot please everybody, but to those souls who cross your path, give kindness and love. - Yogananda
There is a great emphasis put on the circular energy of specific actions and thoughts, right and wrong, good and bad. It is a classic example of man’s ego and arrogance to control all of which leads to such wastes of time. Man’s deep seeded insecurity and refusal to admit truth leads to his propensity to love nothing more than a man on a pedestal preaching. The only thing more ridiculous than the preacher is all the, conditioned not to think, masses listening to the orator on the pedestal. The true, great one’s speak softly from the floor with limited insistence but much encouragement and a firm demanding of self thought and awareness. A simple, self declaration of unconditional love for self, humanity and earth makes elementary conclusions of all the exhausting, infinite efforts of pious enlightenment, integrity and character.
Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things.
- Robert Louis Stevenson

All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love. The Art of Peace is the purest form of that principle. A warrior is charged with bringing a halt to all contention and strife. Universal love functions in many forms; each manifestation should be allowed free expression. The Art of Peace is true democracy. - Morehei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace
The power of wealth is made impotent by the presence of physical dominance. The motivation of power and wealth is founded in the insecurity of masculinity. The essence of a true warrior is beyond the comprehension of the wealthy and powerful. The powerful rule for control. The true warrior exists for love and humanity.
