My 85th Birthday

Dear Beloved Friend,

On January 21, 2011, God will bless me with my 85th birthday.

Since I have been studying meditation, one of the Truths I have learned is that, without God, life is like a school without a teacher; it is like a wire without current passing through it; it is like a body without a soul.

God is in us, around us, and beyond us. Just as the air is imperceptible in the absence of breezes, so God too can be known only by His manifestations: man and beast, plant and bird, the magnificent creation He has brought into being all around us.

It is such a good feeling to take time to meditate on these Truths, and then try to live them every day of my life. I don't waste time speculating what might happen in this New Year, my 85th year. If I obey these teachings, God will cause everything to work absolutely right.

Once you develop Love, there can be no room for evil qualities like anger or jealousy.

Please pray for me for another year of service in God's behalf. I will continue to offer my prayers for you in my meditations and in my sadhana.

Let us all pray for the peace and prosperity of the entire world. Peace can be attained only through practice of these Truths.

Remember God Loves You. And I Do Too,



Reverend Eugene S. Callender
