heart Song
Everyone has a song in their heart. Everyone has a reason for being here and a season for making their highest, greatest most auspicious contribution. No one knows what that is or when it is for anyone else. Only our own heart knows what and when it is for us. Your heart wants to sing.
Knowledge of the Self
Today we are surrounded by many types of fears. One of the most haunting fears people have is the fear of public opinion and malicious slander. We worry about what others will say about us if we perform a certain action, or we do not conform to their standards or perform to their expectations. We become stilted in our actions - we evade, we hide, we cover. If we take a step and believe firmly, after due deliberation that the step is accurate and that it does not go against the general standard of decency, then there is no need to fear public opinion. If we have strength in our speech, our code of conduct, methods of working and intelligent behavior, we will be able to face criticism by making critics understand the facts as they are. We lose confidence in these matters because out methods are not convincing enough, and also due to lack of knowledge of our true identity. Withaccurate knowledge of the self, public opinion remains as it is - a public opinion - nothing more, nothing less.
