On the purpose of life · О цели жизни

Thank you, Счастье по-женски

The main purpose of my life is Divine Love experienced through selfless service, complete presence in the moment of now, seeing God at every turn, complete inner acceptance of everything and everybody, continuous gratitude and absolute absence of claims

Re-sequencing priorities · Меняя приоритеты

I was --> I want

One who does not put "God" in the first place, will not understand his/her role in this world and will know nothing about true life. I guess i could call this the next task of re-discovering myself, much more difficult than accumulation of energy but also more powerful. What is it about? It is about deep transformation of priorities. 
For women the way to self-actualization goes through exercising her belief in God and her family roles. Needless to say, her sincere and selfless service to God, her husband and children, implementation of her respect to other family members is a much bigger challenge than work. But as I observe it is also much more rewarding.
Understanding the fact that God comes first in the list of priorities is very crucial. On one side we must remember that neither family, nor work can be looked at as a source of happiness and strength. Everything: happiness, strength, - limitlessly come to us only from God. On the other side intimate relationships in family (and everywhere else) cannot be developed just like that, based only on physical nearness to each other. True intimacy becomes possible only when through connection with Divine energy based on expressing love to God and honest service to Him your heart is sensitized to love and service to another human being. Therefore one and especially woman has to focus on sustaining continuous strong connection with God prior to all other relations. Only in such frame of mind we gain calmness, purity and strength to see and value true nature of ourselves and people around us - beautiful nature of eternal soul and thus to fulfill our life mission.

Every day apart from the compulsory namaz I offer Suras, du'a and tasbee. My teacher explained to me that in religious practice time, place and circumstances (one's position/state) can make a difference when it comes to directing your praises and requests to God... For the one who is new to this it can be physically difficult. Frankly speaking I have just started learning spiritual practice so offering a prayer in full prostration for more than 5 minutes is a serious test of my patience and endurance. I often realize that I think of pain in recently injured knee, cramps in my hands, numbness in my toes and can't wait to end counting beads. BUT today I clearly felt the difference based on how I begin the prayer, precisely on whom I dedicate the prayer to. Let's be honest we praise God first of all for the benefit of our own souls, then for the people who are close us and then for those who we think need it. But how often do we do it without any selfish intentions? Just like that... For Him?
The moment I touched the prayer mat with my forehead and nose and delivered words that in Islam mark the beginning of everything "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful" I felt I wanted to dedicate 41 repetitions of the main Sura of the Holy Quran in full prostration to... Himself...I believe saying a prayer in such way was never easier, faster and merrier as it was today ^^ I am amazed and can't believe it :)

One of the most popular films on Islam The Message, 1977 - beautiful historical epos about birth and establishment of the religion was launched exactly 6 years prior to my birthday - on march 9 :) I confess, during the first attempt to watch this 3-hour movie couple of years ago I unapologetically fell asleep and could not see the true value of it. Today I couldn't stop my excitement and sometimes tears - our second "date" appeared to be so emotional and infected me with the power of faith :')

After so many years I started doing embroidery again. Since last 2 weeks my attention has been focused on "team building": fabric, needles, threads, crystals and beads, embroidery hoops - everything had to be organized in one fine ornament I designed for my creative project... I cannot believe wonders my sudden needlework does to me as well as its results! It gives me wings.. I come up with ideas of ornamental stitches and stone motifs that are easily combined into the picture that is balanced and delightful to the eye.. Today the whole process became 2 times more meaningful to me: I came to know who is going to be the first owner of my handicraft, which adds enthusiasm and love I put into the work ^^ I also decided to gift all other samples I am about to embroider!

What am I feeling? It can be described in one word: "yay!" :D

New angle on the King's Speech · Новый взгляд на "Говорящего Короля"

I watched The King's Speech again the other day. I use to highlight the brilliant cast, screen play, direction... so many "professional" attributes of the film that are no doubt praise-worthy. To me from now on it is also one of those rare movies which could be taken as a guide to true relationships - how one should serve his/her friend, spouse, country...

На днях вновь посмотрела "Король говорит". Для меня это всегда был фильм искусный, профессиональный, с блестящим актёрским составом, сценарием, режиссёрской работой... Но теперь я также считаю его одной из тех редких картин, которые действительно учат настоящим отношениям - тому, как следует служить другу, супругу, стране...

4 kinds of love · 4 вида любви

1. Virtuous love means desire to selflessly do good to your loved one or care. Love for work also belongs to the virtuous kind.
2. Passionate love is marked by egoistic mindset: everybody who loves me has to take care of me, only then i will love them back.
3. Benighted love results from alcohol. One has a drink, feels good. Another kind of benighted love is distorted love which brings only suffering. Addiction to alcohol leads to this kind of love.
4. There is love that stands above all these 3 ones - love for God. Person that has this rear gift automatically develops all good attributes of character.
(c) 2000-2004, Doctor O.G.Torsunov, WWW.TORSUNOV.RU

1.Любовь в благости означает желание бескорыстно сделать что-то хорошее для близкого человека или забота. Любовь к труду также находится в благости.
2.Любовь в страсти характеризуется эгоистической установкой, все кто меня любит должны заботиться обо мне, тогда и я буду их любить.
3.Любовь в невежестве бывает от спирта. Подвыпил, и стало хорошо. Также в невежестве находится извращенная любовь, которая приносит одни страдания. Постоянное употребление спиртного как раз приводит к такой любви.
4.Существует любовь, которая стоит выше этих трех видов - это любовь к Богу. У человека, который обладает этим редким даром, автоматически развиваются все хорошие качества характера.

This morning song...· Песня этого утра

Purpose of creating a family · Смысл создания семьи

"Family life aims not at resolving personal conflicts and problems but by having stable and strong harmony within the family to benefit your own children and society...indeed those who help other people automatically resolve problems of their own relationships. It is not possible for those who focus on resolving their own problems in the first place. One must know that if he creates family in a wrong way he/she will spend all his energy on solving family problems. In this case he/she will be absolutely useless for society...
...Incorrect understanding of purpose of creating family will influence further destiny of a person...Life in a family where relatives do not have and share sublime aspiration can be compared to surgical intervention... There will surely be pain and offenses. Moreover their whole life together will not be enough for such family to understand that all difficulties they faced were their lessons. It is only then you are good in studies when you do not cut your own intestine in order to practice methods of help. In the same way it is better to learn helping others when your family is in peace and you have energy and time to help."

Like a flower. A beautiful parallel · Как цветок. Прекрасная аналогия

A flower blossoms not with purpose of being picked up by a special man. It blooms because it is a flower. Because it is full of energy of life and love to overflowing. And it wants to gratify the world. (c)

Цветок расцветает не для того, чтобы его сорвал определённый человек. Он распускается потому, что он - цветок. Потому что он переполнен энергией жизни и любви. И ему хочется радовать этот мир. (с)
