Marie Saide's Notes


MIRROR.
Marie Saide, Damascus, Syria.


The good you find in others is in you too. The faults you find in others, are your faults as well. After all, to recognize something you must know it. The possibilities you see in others are possible for you as well. The beauty you see around you, is your beauty. The world around you is a mirror showing you the person you are.


To change your world, you must change yourself. To blame and complain will only make matters worse. Whatever you care about, is your responsibility. What you see in others shows you yourself. See the best in others, and you will be your best. Give to others, and you give to yourself. Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful. Admire creativity, and you will be creative.



Love and you will be loved. Seek to understand, and you will be understood. Listen and your voice will be heard. Teach, and you will learn. Show your best face to the mirror, And you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.

Here is a prayer that I had come to my mind wile I was going to work today:

My lord, you are the source of the universe along with the three worlds, yo prevade the entire creation, everything moving and non-moving, alive or not alive, has emanated from you and is created, mantained and dissolved only by you. How ignorant I am! Because I am enjoying everything in this world, without knowing that all this is nothing but your great maya and is your energy. How ordinari I am! That I enjoy the taste of food, the nice weather, the breeze, the sweet fragnance of flowers, without being aware that this pleasure only comes from you thus thinking: This food is very good, or the weather is nice!... But all joy comes from you, so I say now, How great thou art!
Please Lord, let me offer unto your lottus feet, every breath I take, every action, every think I enjoy, and don´t let my mind get bewildered by illusion, let me see You in every being, in everything and thus engage me in your devotional service. Please be mercifull to me! Don't let me forget about you while I do my job, and let my work be as a sacrifice for You, and thus enjoy as I serve You. O Krishna! O Bhagavan! please forgive my lack of memory, I have fallen in tho the jaws of my senses and failed to perceive Your greatness.
I offer my respectfull obeisances unto you.

I don`t remember exacly the words I was thinking In that moment, so I wrote what I could remember...

Jai Bhagavan!

Hare Krishna
