10 Methods to Purify Your HEART


There are ten methods you can use to purify your heart:

1. Overcome selfishness. Do not live just for yourself. Do not use other people for your own interests. Do not manipulate people.

Selfishness is a world epidemic today, and with such a widespread epidemic we cannot really expect better world conditions than we have.

Relations between nations will never improve until we purify our heart of selfishness. No social, political or economic condition will improve until the leaders of these activities purify their hearts. The people who have pure hearnts can only be elected by those who have pure hearts. The conditions of the world can be changed only by those who have pure hearts.

2. Clean your vanities. Vanities distort the pure images you have in your heart. You must find exactly what you are , not more or less than what you are, so that you maintain balance, sanity and equilibrium.

The heart is the organ that brings equilibrium to your life.

3. Check your motives. You cannot clean your heart until you find the motives behind your actions, feelings and thoughts. Your motives will reveal to you what is really going on in your heart.

Once you purify your heart, you will hae cosmic energy within you.

M. M. says that we communicate with Cosmos through our heart. We are initiated with our heart, and we conquer with our heart. Without a pure heart, we become a polluting factor in the world.

4. Develop the spirit of worship, aspiration, devotion, admiration and a life dedicated to higher ideals. Aspiration means to find some beauty and try to be that beauty.

One day Rabindranath Tagore and his father were taking a boat ride on a lake. It was sunset and the lught was casting a beautiful reflection against a tree near the lake. Suddenly Tagore/s father stopped the boat, and looking at the tree and the setting sun, the colors and the serenity, he began to fuse with the beauty in great ecstasy. That moment was an unforgettable joy in the heart of young Tagore.

5. Renounce your ego.

6. Do not obsess and possess people.

7. Do not try to control the lives of others. You can speak about the Teaching to others, but then you should leave them free to do anything they want to do, to live their own lives and learn from their own experiences. When the heart is purified every kind of religion, ideology and philosophy is synthesized, and you do not need to force people to change.

8. Do not speak evil.

9. Try to see beauty in everyone

10. Obey your heart. This is the most important step of all. Alwats try to obey your heart...because God speaks through your heart.

There are other factors that damage the heart and if you want to have an unfolding heart, you must know about them aswell:

1. Sound, audible and inaudible, has a very strong influence upon the heart.
2. Mechanical sound, by wich we are bombarded day and night on earth and from the sky will eventually make human heart very weak.
3. Electrical currents, ELF waves (extremely low frequency) hurt the heart chakra.
4. Insecticides, various kind of paint and varnish devastate the nerves connected with the heart. All chemical products, wich fill our stores, printing shops and paint stores are detrimental to the heart.
5. Radioactive elements, fall-outs, gradually will harm the heart of humanity to an incurable degree.

The heart in our chest is linked and fused with the electromagnetic heart center in the etheric body. Both share each other/s condition.

They also affect the heart center in the head, wich controls the mental behavior of man and the whole immune system. This is why Sages throughout history advised us to protect our heart.

Noise pollution has a deeper effect on our heart than chemical pollution. Noise pollution affects our etheric and astral heart centers and creates disturbances in the circulatory system of psychic energy, disturbing our etheric and astral health conditions.

All kinds of pollution are detrimental to our health, but specially noise pollution.

If possible have as little noise in your home and office as possible. Stay at least five miles away from radio and television towers. Do not live on streets where the traffic is heavy day and night. Especially stay away from the vicinity of airfields.

These precautions will help you have a good and healthy heart.

Co-Operation


Our basic responsibility is to learn the science of cooperation. This is our future destiny. Nature is forcing us to approach this state. When we sit around a table and try to solve our problems, we are coming to the realization that there is no way out except through cooperation. It is a painfully slow process; the ship is approaching "niagara falls" of life. Let us work to pull it back now. The science of cooperation is essential.

There are six major problems which prevent cooperation. The following problems apply not only to human beings, but also to planets and galaxies.

1. Living at the expense of others - In our philisophies, religions, politics and economics, we are taught one thing: to live at the expense of others.

2. Vanity - You have vanity when you think that you are somebody, something special and apart from others. In reality, there is no higher and lower, no "I know but you don't." You may think you are a full barrel, but remember there is an empty barrel next to you into which half of your "water" should be placed so that the two barrels become equal.

3. Greed - Once an 81 year old man who had 17 million dollars came to office and said, "I have had several heart attacks, what can I do to avoid having more?" I advised him to rest, but he mentioned a job that he wanted to complete because he was going to make an additional 5 million in one week. "I must watch the tractors and supervise everything" he said. I told him that he did not need the money, but he replied, "You are really naive' that is why you are poor." He supervised the transaction, and died. What happened to the 17 million dollars?

This is greed. Something interesting happened to him before he died. One day, a thief watched his house, waited for him to leave and took all of his jewelry and valuables. His greed caused him to live at the expense of others as well as his own health. All was eventually lost to him.

4. Self-centeredness, Separativeness - These are responsible for the downfall of humanity.

5. Distorted Consciousness - A person with a distorted consciousness is one who cannot perceive through logic and reasoning, and thereby find the most essential things in life. This is due to an accumulation of all sorts of crimes committed in the past.

6. Lack of faith - Faith is the beginning and the end of cooperation, cooperation with everything in Nature. All we ever hear about is algebra, science, chemistry and physics. Who wants to talk about faith? People think that just because faith is never discusses it does not exist.

We do not have faith because we have lost touch with the Law of Unity. Our sense of unity is lost. How can we have faith when everyone exists only for himself? Go to a nightclub and see how crazy humanity is.

Responsibilities of Women

Women not only have a unique role to play with their family, but also a unique responsibility:




1. to protect life
2. to protect the right development of life
3. to evoke the highest latent in man
4. to protect beauty
5. to protect peace and harmony
6. to protect the age-long fruits of the labor of humanity
7. to protect the Teaching from degeneration
8. to encourage the best in all fields
9. to strive towards the future
10. to learn and teach the laws of sacrifice and service
11. to produce the highest survival techniques
12. to inspire creativity in all fields
13. to reveal the future possibilities of life after death
14. to explain the law of love and compassion


It is very beautiful to see women fighting for women's rights, but it would be even greater if women would form a new group, a new organization, which would reveal to humanity the responsibilities of women and fight to restore those conditions in which women would be able to perform their responsibilities.


People have begun to work seriously against pollution, attempting to safeguard the life in the sea, the life in the air, the life in the forest, the life in the vegetable kingdom - trees, flowers, bushes - safeguarding the life of humanity.


What a great thing women have to do, preserving life, protecting life. If they engage in such a task they will make tremendous strides in the world protecting life, instead of organizing dances until morning, going to bingo clubs and sitting for many hours in front of the television set. Women can organize groups and organizations that make their voices heard all over the world declaring that life must be protected. They will affirm: "Man does not know the damage he is doing to life, and therefore we will not let him continue polluting the world. Woman is the protector of life." But if we have women who are not educated and open to such principles, to such responsibilities, then it is useless for them to bring children into our world because their children will work against life.


Woman has a certain magical, mysterious way in which she evokes the best in a man. Woman is more advanced physiologically and spiritually than man, but the best the woman can bring out of the man is the best the woman has in her. She is just like a magnet, for when she touches a man, when she talks to a man, when she smiles at a man, that man feels he is getting more sublimated, more transformed because of her contact. When we speak of contact, we are not speaking of "technique." For example, one day I met a teacher who was teaching the girls how to be "magnetic", and she was saying, "Walk like this, look like this, and fix your hair this way." She was really technically teaching them. Then I asked her, "Have you had any results?" "Curiously enough," she said, "there were results but they did not last." This is what I wanted to know. Why isn't it lasting? Because it is artificial, a technique.


A woman must have greatness in her to bring greatness out of others. Woman must build that greatness, build that beauty, build that creative mechanism within herself so that her creative magnetism pulls the beauty out of man. If a man has the magic hand of a woman, the magic love of a woman, he will be transformed. Many, many medical expenses can be spared, many legal expenses can be stopped if the man has an understanding, compassionate, loving woman who is highly educated and highly transformed in her inner being.
