No syllable of religion is ever understood but through a virtuous deed.
Unselfish acts partake of the spirit of sacrifice and such acts are blessed, while selfish acts bring pain and suffering. My good friend, we sacrifice when we deprive the self of what it holds dear in order to serve others or serve a good cause....Every hour of the night and day, seek your Maker. Rub out from the tables of the mind all that is written there and polish it into the brightness of a mirror. There will then appear on it a luminous spark. This spark will become the sun and a soundless sound will fill your heart with divine music and draw you near to God.... God alone is great,” said the Guru. “He creates, maintains and withdraws this universe unto Himself. We suffer when we follow the wrong way and do evil. When we turn to Him and follow the golden rules of life we become virtuous and earn our reward in happiness....Worship no ugly images, but fulfill your divine mission to sow in the hearts of boys and girls the seed of virtue and teach them by your own way of living that courage and truth are rooted in their being. No syllable of religion is ever understood but through a virtuous deed. -Guru Nanak: Life and Teachings of Guru Nanak, 1996, pp. 59, 89; see http://www.soulanswer.com/guru_nanak.html ................................................................................................ II, I, 8. One should not estrange oneself from the earthly, yet one must abide in spirit. For the mastery of the earthly formulae one must possess a strong channel of the heart, because the reflex of the earthly signs carries dangerous sparks. But for Earth all must be accomplished upon the earthly plane. Therein is the chief reason for the existence of the Brotherhood here. Therefore upon Earth one must reach us, discover us as silver ore--the best beneath the earthly crust. II, iv, 6. For the reason that our pupils bear within themselves the microcosm of the Brotherhood there is not an indifferent attitude towards them. -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1925
By being Self-true men are able to see what is real instead of relying upon the words of men. Can't you see, beloved ones, that we are simply trying to give you a greater measure of perspective? Be careful that you do not use this perspective to reject what is real but do learn to discern, and that well....Hence out of the crucible of experience, trial and error, continual faith and a determination to know God will man come at last to the place where he will know himself as God. -Archeia Mary: 9-17-1972 at Colorado Springs via Messenger Mark or E C Prophet ....................................................................

A local resident filmed the arrest of Freddie Gray, who died a week later due to a broken neck, and uploaded the footage to YouTube YouTube/Les Grossman5-11-2015 Newly released records show that thousands arrested by Baltimore Police were so injured that they were refused admittance to Baltimore City Detention Center.
According to The Baltimore Sun, which obtained the records, the detention center refused to admit nearly 2,600 detainees from June 2012 to April 2015. ...The Baltimore Sun also uncovered over 100 lawsuits against officers in which detainees claim police caused severe injuries during arrests and ignored appeals for medical attention. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/baltimore-riots-thousands-arrested-denied-entry-detention-centres-due-serious-injuries-1500791..........................................................................................Kevin Moore, a 28-year-old friend of Gray's from Gilmor Homes, said he rushed outside when he heard Gray was being arrested and saw him "screaming for his life" with his face planted on the ground. One officer had his knee on Gray's neck, Moore said, and another was bending his legs backward."They had him folded up like he was a crab or a piece of origami," Moore said. "He was all bent up."...Booze said she winced as police hoisted Gray. His legs appeared broken to her, though police have said Gray suffered no broken bones. Bystanders got more vocal. "Call the ambulance!" Booze remembers saying as police tried to disperse the crowd....Sellers, 59, who is Booze's brother and lives on the same block, said he was among those who started moving toward Gray, and saw police beating him. "They were taking their black batons, whatever they are, and hitting him," Sellers said. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/freddie-gray/bs-md-gray-ticker-20150425-story.html#page=1
