You
pass a beggar on the street. He holds
out a hand and you cringe. What goes
through your head? Is it contempt or is
it compassion? He is learning lessons,
and so are you. If you give him money,
do you help or hinder him? If you
withhold your coins, do you help or hinder yourself? The difference is not in the coins you give,
but in what is in your heart.
The
beggar will learn lessons whether you give money or not. He will appreciate you or not. You perhaps may not be able to give coins to
every beggar, but there is one gift you can give: a prayer filled with love and thanks that all
will grow whilst here … that all may see the perfection in each being’s present
circumstances as a path toward that growth …that all will see a brighter light
and move inexorably toward it … that all will know how very much they are loved
… that all—including you—will find peace in your heart. Without peace, all are beggars.

Note
from Suzanne: A woman who attended my
S.O.A.R. workshop told me afterwards that she was going to sit in a mall and
watch people walk by until she could do so without judging everyone at first
sight. She thought she would be there
for five minutes. She sat there for an
hour …

wanted an image to use with today’s message from Sanaya. I went to Google just now, clicked “images”
in the upper left corner, then entered “panhandler” in the search box. Wow.
What an eye-opener as far as evoking emotions. I invite you to do the same, then re-read
Sanaya’s message until you can look at those images with peace in your heart.

I would like to start by saying my dog and best friend passed on June 30. I wanted to believe that I would see him in the afterlife.But had nothing to base this on.
I did not know anything about mediums or spiritualism. By chance I watched the documentary "No One Dies in Lily Dale". I was so relieved and at peace to learn that no one ever really dies including pets.
From watching this documentary I really felt a connection to Anne Gehman. The first book I read was the " The Priest and the Medium". Which led me to read "Messages of Hope". Which led me to this site and a daily reader of "Sanaya Says".
2 weeks ago I was staying at a hotel in Cleveland Ohio. I walked outside and there was a homeless man sitting on a bench. He struck up a conversation with me and we had a nice chat. He said he was hungry and would love to have a corn beef sandwich. Going on what I learned about love from my recent readings I gave him some money for a sandwich and a little extra.
It was gratifying to see the bounce in his step as he walked away. After about 10 steps he turned around and said that he would pass this good deed on to someone else. I walked back in the hotel with a bounce in my step.
Thank you Suzanne for this great web site.
Robert, your message has brought tears to my eyes and a heart that wants to burst. Bless you.
Isn't it interesting that we all have stories to share no matter who we are or where we come from. When we speak from the heart there will always be someone listening….

Awesome Robert! Tears here too. You never know what actions you take may have an affect on people. I'm reminded of the pebble thrown into a pond and the rings radiating outward. Good vibes! BB
