This verse is so comforting to me. Sometimes it's so easy to want things that I don't have, and think that doing things or having things will make me happy. I think that we all feel this way at some time or another. Sometimes it feels like that we just need this one thing and then we'll be happy. Sometimes people live their whole lives looking to things to make them happy, and they never find what they're really looking for. I've come to realize that what our hearts longing for is people, or things, or praise. It's Jesus. He's the only one that fills that gap in our lives. We were all made with a need for Him. He's the one that loves and understands us like no one else. He's the only thing that really satisfies that longing in our hearts. It's a wonderful thought that everything that we long for can all be brought down to one thing: to know Him.

"We will adore for eternity the most holy Sacrament.
Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise Him all ye peoples.
Because his mercy is confirmed upon us:
and the truth of the Lord remains forever."

Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
A Couple of Haiku Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Yin and the Yang
they're not really opposites
complementary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you have questions
look and listen for the signs
synchronicity

======================================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

We have begun a new initiative for admirers of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi and Lord Jesus Christ to express their emotions through poetry.
Every Monday, people will be able to read one of their poems in front of our live audience both at our London office and online.
No matter what language you write in, if you have an original piece of poetry that you would like to submit, please send it to info@goharshahi.com. We will feature some poems every week on our website.
Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name

“All who approach the miraculous statue and pray there with confidence receive assistance in danger, consolation in sorrows, aid in poverty, comfort in anxiety, light in spiritual darkness, streams of grace in dryness of soul, health in sickness, and hope in despair.”
Today, 14 January, is the feast of the Infant Jesus of Prague, and this mosaic depiction of that statue is in the National Shrine of St Jude in Baltimore.
That all I had to do was send $10 to the Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus, located somewhere in Los Angeles California and next week they'd say my prayer on the radio, and all my dreams would come true.....So I did." - Jagger Richards - "Far Away Eyes."
30 years ago, I was at "The Dollar Store." (when everything was still a dollar) This caught my eye and I knew when I got it home, I would be painting a sacred bleeding heart of Jesus on it with red nail polish.
He's been shining his light in my kitchen ever since.

"I slept on the cross and a sword pierced my side, for you, who slept in paradise and brought forth Eve from your side. My side healed the pain of your side; my sleep will release you from your sleep in Hades; my sword has checked the sword which was turned against you."
– from an ancient homily for Holy Saturday.

"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well. This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.""
– Acts 4:8-12.

We are guilty sinners before God! Our sins must be atoned for. Jesus Christ became our Sacrifice for our sins, and took our punishment, so that, we who repent of our sins by surrendering to Him, can be forgiven; our sins are still punished; and God remains a Just God!! Any "god" who does not punish all sin is not just!!! Our "good deeds" outweighing our "bad deeds" are not good enough!! We cannot earn forgiveness through our own efforts and actions!!! A totally righteous God requires complete righteousness...gained only through faith in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ shedding His Blood for us on the cross!! www.InTouch.org (Broadcasts-Audio Archives)
"Remember how generous the Lord Jesus was: he was rich, but he became poor for your sake, to make you rich out of his poverty."
– 2 Cor 8:9, which is part of today's epistle at Mass.
"As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky when suddenly two men in white were standing near them and they said, ‘Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking into the sky? Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, this same Jesus will come back in the same way as you have seen him go there.’"
– Acts 1:9-11
