Tony Samara's teachings encourage us to practice our spiritual work
and growth
in our everyday actions using the following guiding principles :
To learn to live in harmony with nature, respecting our environment and caring for all life forms.
To be a beacon of light and an example to others in all situations.
To live a life of humility, simplicity and purity.
To promote peace and non-violence.
To remember that the physical body is our temple, which needs to be transformed, as well as the spirit;
a vegetarian diet including products that are organic and full of life force is encouraged.
To be free of the consumption of drugs of any description, including tobacco. To work towards a goal of
eliminating alcohol completely from our lives, thereby honouring our body as a temple of light.
To speak truthfully from the heart and have the courage to speak directly to people rather than behind
their backs.
To treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
To receive, we have to give. As we learn truly to give, we open ourselves to receive unlimited abundance...
Following this philosophy, we are encouraged to contribute unconditionally 10% of our savings—if any—and
10% of our monthly earnings, to a humanitarian or spiritual cause of our choice.
To practice these teachings in our daily lives.
We are at the beginning of a New Era and many are reflecting
on what has been and what they would like now to be a more
fundamental part of their inner and outer experience and
what their intentions are for this exciting era. Others find
themselves reflecting as to how yet another year has slipped
by without fulfilling all their goals and dreams.
To think or believe that this era will be better than the
last by continuing to do the same things all over again doesn’t
allow very much to change!
Perhaps having failed to achieve your dreams because they
were not achievable you may push them aside and compromise
them in order for them to become more realistic.
If you can dream and believe your dream then you have the
foundation by which to grow and become the person that can
make the dream true!
Now is a good time to make some simple yet significant changes
to help you move forward in a more complete way.
Understand that you are living an outcome
of all that you have believed, thought, decided and felt
on a conscious and unconscious level of being. To change
this reality why not start each day by asking yourself,
“How can I be closer to my dream today?”
This not only helps you to develop absolute clarity about
what you want to achieve but also allows you to actualize
not simply the idea but rather sets the idea as a goal that
is achievable now!
Develop absolute clarity about why you want to achieve your
goals and a structure to achieve it. This is so important
because in doing so you will be able to remain much more
focused on a day-to-day basis. You will also find that with
every step taken towards your goals, you will gain the confidence
to take even bigger and bolder steps, enabling you to move
in leaps and bounds.
You must absolutely believe in yourself
~ in the simple fact that you will and can achieve these
steps in your everyday experience. Time becomes irrelevant
when you believe that you will achieve what you set out
to do and combined with having absolute clarity about what
you want and why you want it you can enjoy the journey
that leads to your dream ~ no matter how high the mountain
of challenges gets!
Your future is created by the decisions
you make and the actions you take ~ Today... in this moment.
My work is to be here in this moment challenging you beyond
your current beliefs and thoughts. No matter how deeply rooted
these aspects are freedom is the core and depth of all spiritual
work and the embodiment of all spiritual Masters.
Your goals and dreams won’t get up and come to you. You
have to go to them by living them in this moment!
'Sant Kabir’s compositions have a uniquely powerful style, expressing his
own spiritual awakening, urging others to wake up, observing delusion
in individuals and society. At the same time it is profoundly inward-looking.
It examines the nature of mind and body, points out the tangle of delusions
in which we live, urges us to wake up and cultivate consciousness. The
imminence of death and the transiency of all things are frequently invoked.
The journey within is permeated with the imagery of yoga - its map of
a subtle body made of energy, lotus-centers, Coursing breath-streams,
sound and light. A key word associated with Sant Kabir’s spiritual stance
is nirgun - “no quality” - indicating an ultimate reality that can’t
be visualized in form or described in language. While invoked negatively,
it conveys simultaneously emptiness and fullness' ~ Prof. Hess (Stanford
University)
