Truth is high, but higher still is living it. – Guru Nanak

I love these words of Guru Nanak, the 15th century founder of Sikhism.

(Do I need to write anything more?)

Spiritual-religious advice for this week and all time: Go and live the truth!

All right, I could write a little more. . .

I could write how ideals without corresponding action are meaningless.

I
could give poignant examples from the Bible and history when innocent
people suffered because of the lack of action of people who knew better.

I could quote from Jewish and Christian sources parallels to Guru Nanak’s words.

But, what is the point?

The point is ACTION, not words.

So, please, please, GO AND LIVE YOUR VALUES.

Truth is high, but higher still is living it. – Guru Nanak

With love,

Rabbi Brian

The 77% Weekly: The Religion-Outside-The-Box Newsletterhelps people find and be with (the) God (of their understanding) 40 out of 52 weeks a year.

Why 77%?
Two reasons:

1) 40/52 = 0.76923 and it is sent every Monday except the last of each month.
2) In school 77% was a passing grade and ROTB wants to remind you that life isn’t graded, it’s pass/fail.

non-denominational, internet-based, 501c3-tax exempt religious congregation.
