Because I posted the initial link feeling intrigued and mesmerized by the "oh so familiar" words, as per your request Denise, here goes. I felt it was worth sharing then and feel it is worth sharing now minus the beautiful photos and music. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">India teaches us about “The Four Principles of Spirituality”<br><br></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">The First Principle states:<span>
</span>“Whomsoever you encounter is the right one” This means that no one comes
into our life by chance. Everyone who is around us, anyone with whom we
interact, represents something whether to teach us something or to help us
improve a current situation. <br><br></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">The Second Principle states: “Whatever happened is the only
thing that could have happened” Nothing, absolutely nothing of that which we
experienced could have been any other way. Not even in the least important
detail. There is no “If only I had done that differently…then it would have
been different…” No. What happened is the only thing that could have taken
place and must have taken place for us to learn our lesson in order to move
forward. Every single situation in life which we encounter is absolutely
perfect, even if it defies our understanding and our ego.<br><br></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">The Third Principle states:<span>
</span>“Each moment in which something begins is the right moment” Everything begins
at exactly the right moment, neither earlier nor later. When we are ready for
it, for that something new in our life, it is there, ready to begin. <br><br></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">This is the Fourth Principle, the final one: “What is over,
is over” <span> </span>It is that simple. When
something in our life ends, it helps our evolution. That is why, enriched by
the recent experience, it is better to let go and move on. <br><br></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">I think it is no coincidence that you are here reading this.
If these words strike a chord, it’s because you meet the requirements and
understand that not one single snowflake falls accidentally in the wrong place.
<br><br></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2">Be good to yourself. Love with your whole being. Always be
happy. <br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal">*******************************************************************<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

I would love if someone would write these four "Indian Principles of Spirituality" directly into an e-mail post. <div>Denise<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><div><div>On Mar 18, 2011, at 8:12 AM, Jenifer Toksvig wrote:</div>
<br><blockquote type="cite"> <font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">With regard to the “Indian Principles of Spirituality”: a quick Google of that phrase (without quotation marks) brings up the astonishing total of about 47 results. That’s the smallest Google total I have ever seen, for anything I have ever Googled.<br>
<br> Whilst I am an absolute believer in synchronicity, I do think that Google has pretty much undisputedly answered the question of where these principles originated. And for me, that is an important acknowledgment which does not negate the joy of the free sharing of these principles, but rather, supports and encourages that sharing. That is one of the great joys of Harrison :-)<br>
