If you are kind and don’t ask for anything in return
If someone else’s success makes you happy like your own
If you control and manage to convert anger, envy and jealousy, so that they don’t go against yourself, and you conquer your mind again and again, happiness smiles at you.
The keys of heaven are not unattainable, in the sky above, everything on Earth is visible and meaningful to those who have the sight to see more clearly.
There is a large and living organism where every part is equally important.
Whoever extends a hand of respect without expecting fame and earthly recognition, everything comes as a gift anyway and not because of personal merit, will be celebrated among people.
The keys to the Universe exist, not to be selfishly hidden in a pocket, but to open the doors of many locked hearts with them.
A Gift from God
Love is a gift from God.
Thank Me, Maya, by writing about Me.
You do not yet possess love for God, but summon it, imagine it is there, and pray for divine vision.
This exalted love is hidden in sacred scriptures and in those whose mouths kiss the Word of God and never stray from the path of devotion.
Do not trust, Maya, the words of men when you read love poems;
that is not love, it is desire.
Yesterday, someone wrote about their one true love;
today, you are the only love,
and tomorrow, another woman will be the only love.
It is a lie, cloaked in beautiful words.
Do not believe, Maya, in illusion.
Do not seek love in places where it does not exist.
Pray with all your heart for protection, Maya.
Call out to Me.
I am your gift. Discover Me and keep Me in secret.
FOLLOW ME
I give you a secret sign, follow the white rabbit.
My tattoo on my shoulder speaks.
Yes, I forgot, we are not in the Matrix movie.
I want you to be my companion,
but you don’t know how to read signs
set by the Universe
through numbers and in the child’s speech.
There is a celestial draftsman whose pen prints horoscope signs.
It’s all as clear as the future,
in response to prayer.
But instead of watching,
you sleep and dream of me in a silk nightgown,
and you don’t realize I’m warm on a hot night,
not to provoke your senses.
I give you the way you walk without material desires
and to head to the Himalayas
where we will look with different eyes.
We will dive into the mountain of snow,
in whose interior there is a world of abundance.
Close your eyes and follow me.
I’ll take you, companion,
when you learn that tattoos speak,
when you know the signs written in gold pen,
we will not need a body of earth.
Follow me, I’ll take you to the abundance of dreams come true.
And when you step in there, you won’t want to go back,
but he wanted it first.
