[ajay0]

Message from Dadi Janki - About Brahma Kumaris

“Love of God and Love of the Neighbor” Over the years, I have noticed that human beings are human beings – it doesn’t matter which country or which religion they are from; we all have a similar nature. We all have two eyes, two ears, a nose, and a mouth – and the same feet more »

When we come together seeing the specialties and the goodness of each other, there can be unity and strength. Unity means to be able to see virtues, absorb virtues, and donate virtues. Where there is unity, there are no problems. There is great happiness, joy, and love in unity. But when there is quarreling, people say there must be some fault on both sides – one hand cannot create a quarrel. The quarrel arrives when both hands come together. When we clap our hands together, it can be with great joy and happiness. Both hands can come together with humility and respect, too, as a gesture of honor or prayer. But two hands can also come together in conflict – I must never allow that to happen.​

It is everyone’s desire that heaven should come on earth. Heaven isn’t up above; we have to create it here on earth. Through our character and behavior, we can create heaven here. ~ Dadi Janki

Beautiful message, thanks for sharing

My first thought was:
Maybe that is the hidden message in the Koan:
"what is the sound of 1 hand clapping"
