Here are some “Imponderables” from the American sage Robert Adams (21 January 1928 11.30pm – 5 March 1997).
I woke up this morning, saw something on facebook, and was inspired to celebrate his birthday with these “imponderables” from transcript 85 of his satsangs. It is called “Ponder This” – some sips of rare wine to mull along the day while riding on buses and recovering from sore backs and concerned about the world situation, and so forth.

A new sketch for Robert’s birthday
“All of your desires, all of your needs, all of your wants are already within you, waiting to be fulfilled and expressed . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“All of the masters, the teachers, the saints, the sages you worshipped all your life, whether it is Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, Moses, whomever, have always been within you, waiting to be expressed . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“The only problem you have, that does not allow these sages, your desires, your wants to be expressed for you, is your noisy mind . . . Ponder this.”
..
“Whatever you see in your life right now, good or bad, is a result of your thoughts and your belief. It has no other reality. It is not permanent . . . Ponder this.”
..
..
“There is absolutely nothing in this universe that can hurt you, or cause you physical harm, or cause you pain, except when your mind is trained to believe these things . . . Ponder this.”
..
“You have absolutely nothing to do with this world, this universe, or with others. Yet, at the same time, you are this universe. You are places and things and others . . . Ponder this.”
..
“No one is responsible for where you are right now, whether you like your position or you do not. This is where you are Karmically. This is where you are supposed to be, and all is well . . . Ponder this.”

… To be continued, over the next few days. I made these imponderables into a little book, and illustrated it, at around the time Robert passed away in Sedona, in 1997. To read my posts about meeting Robert, type Robert Adams in the search button.
Happy birthday, beloved one.
