A visionary is not one who just sees the pure, clean, self-evident truth. A visionary is one who commits to that truth and follows wherever it leads.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The time is always right to do the right thing.”
This is not complicated. The question is not whether you can see the horizon. The question is: Are you willing to steadfastly go where it leads?
Dr King also said, “If a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”
I would also suggest, “If a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t alive.”
Furthermore I would suggest, “If a man hasn’t died, he isn’t alive.”
Death here is not the physical kind.
The only true life comes from the death of death… the death of the life of pettiness, of smallness, of pride, of fear, of what some refer to as the ego or small self. This is attained through commitment to following what you see in the horizon.
I implore you to live.

It has touched my heart through the years to see how beautifully children take to Valentines Day.
The one and only underfying force in all of nature is love… the force that brings separation to oneness.

All else is illusion.

In our busy lives it is wonderful that we take one day out of every year to proclaim one sweet and humble thing… purely and innocently… simply that
~
We Love

The key to life is good orchestration. If you are not a good orchestrator, life will not work out so well for you.
All the pieces of the puzzle are right in front of you. Are you orchestrating them masterfully?
Imagine a world where all people are masterful orchestrators.
This is certainly valid on the surface of life, yet true orchestration happens at the depth of your being, not the surface. And it may not be how you think it should look, not only regarding others, but even for yourself.
Get the depth right, and the surface will take care of itself. Focus on the depth. No depth, no chance.
You cannot build a solid house with no foundation.

There is an ancient legend. God decided to create the universe. He made the galaxies and the Earth with its oceans, mountains, forests and streams. He created us, so we could enjoy his creation.
However, when we came here and took a look around we decided that we would rather just be back in Heaven with God and simply left this creation and returned to him.
Well, at first God was disappointed and thought: “What can I do to keep man away from Heaven so that he can explore all the wonders of my creation? If I make a ‘key to life’ they will find it. If I put it at the top of the highest mountain they will climb up there and get it. If I put the key at the bottom of the ocean, they will devise a way to get down there to get it.”
Then God had an idea that delighted him; he thought: “I will hide the ‘key to life’ in the very last place that anyone will look—in the depth of their own heart!” And do you know what?…. It worked.
We go all around the world looking for truth and fulfillment. We create great melodramas for ourselves. We get PhD’s. We build empires. We go on spiritual quests and crusades. We find other people that we look up to for the answers. The last place we look is inside ourselves!
The key to life is alive and well—inside of you. You can find it!

I have been quite busy lately. Though I spend a great deal of time at Mount Soma addressing county, subcontractor, and logistical concerns, those matters are secondary. My primary activity is going to the temple in the morning to meditate, do my mantras, etc. There I reflect and seek communion with God. If the inner is right, the outer will be right. I live in dedication to that.
I find great comfort and support in Pandit Prasad. He and his wife, Lakshmi, have become my dear friends…. pure, simple, and innocent. I rely upon them. Through them I have an additional supportive conduit to the Almighty. For too many years I have traveled this path feeling that, though loved, too few could understand me. Abandoning their world in India to join me here stands as a solid testament to their commitment to our purpose. We can bring peace to this world. All that is required is commitment.
The blossoming of the Guru Shala (Enlightened City) also involves communication with Harsha, my dear friend in Mumbai. We are establishing our foundation in India, which requires my attention of course. Needless to say, also of great significance is the MMWPP (Michael Mamas World Peace Project). Also, the Pandit Boys School in India is going well.
All these things require a great deal of time and energy. My commitment to my students also requires my time and energy. I am most grateful to all of you that are so respectful and careful in how, when, and why you communicate with me. At the same time, I feel sad when my time is so limited. Even today, people came to the temple and the demands upon me did not allow time to sit and be with them. This happens all too often.
And that is an update on my life at this time. In the future I hope to have time to write more books, chat with more people, and have more time for my beloved family.
