Return to Paradise

The Simple and Present

Jun 19, 2011

Saying For Today: This Simplicity is waiting to be seen and enjoyed, always.


Welcome to OneLife Ministries, an online, interspiritual-integral ministry of Arem Nahariim-Samadhi and Love Light Fellowship. This site is here to lead you into a heart experience of Divine Presence, Who is Love. We recognize that of the Sacred in each one and celebrate the diversity of expressions of our Oneness in Grace. We are for peace and nonviolence, and equal rights and justice for all. I hope persons of varied wisdom paths will find inspiration here. Welcome!

Blessings,
Arem Nahariim-Samadhi, MDiv, MFT, PhD...

We loosely talk of Self-realization, for lack of a better term. But how can one realize or make real that which alone is real? All we need to do is to give up our habit of regarding as real that which is unreal. All religious practices are meant solely to help us do this. When we stop regarding the unreal as real, then reality alone will remain, and we will be that.

*Sri Ramana Maharshi. b. 1870.

And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

A Hassidic tale tells of a rabbi having a dream. The rabbi was dunked in a deep well, and when he came out, he saw only a few saints sitting at tables and studying the Torah. The rabbi asked the guiding angel, “Is this all there is to paradise?” The angel answered, “You appear to think that the saints are in paradise. You have it backwards. Paradise is in the saints!”

Lofty, ethereal ideas can leave us detached from the simple and present. This Simplicity is waiting to be seen and enjoyed, always.

Grand ideas of a heaven, or paradise, somewhere at another time can leave us insensitive to the deeper meaning of heaven, of paradise, as a timeless, placeless Reality - here, now, within, all-around.

Why wait to enjoy heaven later, when you can enjoy paradise this moment?

The Essence of LOVE-Mysticism is to look "within," to find there the Light of G-D That is in Everyone...
