BE AT PEACE 

by Aldo Kraas

Be at peace angels from heaven

Be at peace mother

Be at peace my friends

Be at peace my reverend

Be at peace my God

Be at piece my saints

Be at peace birds

Be at peace Mother Nature

Be at peace sea

Be at peace farmers

Be at peace little baby

Be at peace fisherman

Be at peace moon when you shine at night

Stars be at peace also when you shine at night

Birds be at peace when you fly in the sky during the day

We are all related

People, We have created you all male and female 

and have made you nations and tribes 

so that you would recognize each other. 

The most honorable among you in the sight of God

 is the most pious of you. 

God is All-knowing and All-aware.

-- Quran 49:13 --

Our task must be to free ourselves... 

by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures 

and the whole of nature and its beauty.

-- Albert Einstein -- 

“The indigenous understanding has its basis of spirituality 
in a recognition of the interconnectedness and interdependence 
of all living things, a holistic and balanced view of the world. 
All things are bound together. All things connect. 
What happens to the Earth happens to the children of the earth. 
Humankind has not woven the web of life; we are but one thread. 
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.”

-- Rebecca Adamson --

The Plurality of Spiritual Moods

To illustrate the plurality of spiritual moods or sacred traditions, RamaKrishna told this parable. The Hindus call that which quenches our thirst 'jal', Muslims call it 'pani', the English call it 'water'. Similarly, each brings a container that is a product of a different culture, and yet they all draw from exactly the same source of refreshment. The clear water of Consciousness, with no shape of its own, perfectly fills the cultural receptacles. Even this analogy could mislead, however, if we concluded that Consciousness is a substance separate from us or from various receptacles. All is Consciousness. As RamaKrishna expresses it:"God alone is."
