The Korwa Clock

Written by Janet Ilacqua


Positive and Negative Intentions: The Korwa Clock The Korwa Clock is an important tool for understandingrepparttar effects of good and bad intentions, as well as a powerful tool for attacking bad intentions. Korwa is a Tibetan word meaning “cycle.” An intention goes through a four-phase cycle represented byrepparttar 126755 numbers onrepparttar 126756 clock. At 3:00 (Motivation Stage), intentions are formulated; at 6:00 (Action Stage), action is taken on intentions; at 9:00,repparttar 126757 consequences of action taken on one’s intentions start to develop and unfold (Maturation Stage); and at 12:00(Results Stage), one’s intentions are fully realized. Of course,repparttar 126758 results of one’s intention may be very different from what one expected. At 9:00 and 12:00,repparttar 126759 results of one’s actions are inevitable. Another metaphor used forrepparttar 126760 four-phase cycle isrepparttar 126761 planting cycle. At 6:00, seeds are planted; at 9:00,repparttar 126762 seeds sprout, mature, and are nourished. At 12:00,repparttar 126763 plant is in full bloom and bears fruit. It may be better to plant new positive seeds than to try to pull out mature plants that have sprouted from bad seeds. It is better to try to weed out bad seeds atrepparttar 126764 Motivation stage by periodic reflection every day on how one is living outrepparttar 126765 Eightfold Path. For example, to counteract anger one must plant seeds of compassion. Think of your life like a garden. What types of plants are coming up: flower or weeds. Are you spending a lot of time pulling up mature weeds, ones that should have been pulled up when you first saw them? Are you wateringrepparttar 126766 seeds of success or are you letting them languish?

Time of Test

Written by Allama Parvez


As you all know Pakistan is currently going through an extremely critical situation – probably more than any other time in its history. This is no time to "play politics." This isrepparttar time for soul searching.

This is notrepparttar 126754 time for finger pointing, being arrogant, or exerting self-righteousness. This isrepparttar 126755 time for humility, self-reflection, and bonding forrepparttar 126756 sake of Pakistan and Islam. This isrepparttar 126757 time for being calm and collected but determined and focused, not emotional and hotheaded. No matter what our past and present background and affiliations. Therefore, this is notrepparttar 126758 time to side with parties or personalities – religious or political. This isrepparttar 126759 time to side with truth and justice.

This isrepparttar 126760 time of looking inward into our spiritual mirrors. This isrepparttar 126761 time for reorientation of our thoughts and emotions from personal benefits torepparttar 126762 benefit of Pakistan. There is a real danger at this time that our emotions might take over and our sense of balance andrepparttar 126763 balance of sense might be lost. But remember! Vultures are hovering over us to take advantage of us or even to use this opportunity to tear us apart.

Please do not let your emotion dictate you, especially at this dangerous and critical time.Global injustice prevails. Law of jungle seems to have taken over. ‘Might is right' is being used asrepparttar 126764 norm. Poor andrepparttar 126765 weak are suffering. Truth is being sacrificed atrepparttar 126766 altar of prejudice and hatred. World policies seem to be inrepparttar 126767 hands ofrepparttar 126768 followers of Machiavelli. Our Quaid came to know it very well –repparttar 126769 hard way. Just remember what happened to Gurdaspur.
