Prem Rawat says, “A long time ago, someone said, ‘As far as your eyes can see, consider it to be an illusion.’ Why am I talking to you about illusion and reality? Does it matter that this is an illusion? Does it matter that there is a reality? Yes, it does.”
The Prem Rawat Foundation has made a grant of $25,000 to ORBIS UK, a beneficiary of the 2008 Lord Mayor of the City of London’s Appeal, to support ORBIS UK and the Lord Mayor’s Childhood Blindness Programme in India. Wendy Lloyd, director of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal 2008, said, “This donation will certainly make a real contribution in achieving our aim to make the lives of future generations brighter. It is enormously encouraging to receive such fantastic support.”
“If I keep the company of clarity, I will begin to take on the qualities of clarity,” says Prem Rawat. “If I want to have the beautiful aroma of understanding, I need to keep the company of understanding. Keep the right company, and you will soak in their traits.”
The Prem Rawat Foundation has made a contribution of $20,000 to help St. John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital continue providing care in conflict-ridden Gaza. The only charitable provider of eye care in Gaza, St. John is open to all patients, regardless of race, religion or ability to pay. Dr. Jom’a El Jazzar, head of the St. John Eye Hospital Clinic, said, “The donation from The Prem Rawat Foundation will have a very real and demonstrative impact on our ability to broaden and deepen our much-needed humanitarian services.”
“The human being is an incredibly sensitive, experiencing instrument,” says Prem Rawat. “Place in it the truth that resides in you, and it will sing out with ecstasy. Play it with the passion it deserves, and you will hear sounds you have been yearning to hear all your life.”
“What is really yours?” asks Prem Rawat. “This breath that just came, is really, really yours. It didn’t go into someone else. It came just for you. From the workings of the universe, something stirred, and this breath came exclusively for you.”
The Prem Rawat Foundation has made a contribution of $15,000 to the Rotary Club Lahore Mozang, which will add $5,000 in matching funds, to provide clean drinking water for 60 schools in the Punjab region of Pakistan serving approximately 20,000 elementary through high school students. The water system will benefit students, families, and communities by decreasing the spread of disease and improving educational opportunities.
