Even time will lose its rigidness,
once true love for God awakens.
Pure love for the Divine work
will lessen one's dependence upon time.
Such purity will
let one lean upon the inner strength
and the surge of the divine energy
to perform the given work with perfection.
For, such a one
will not be ruled by day nor night.
At every moment, he will only reflect
and focus upon his one goal - his one mission -
to serve his Master and to fulfill the purpose of his own life.
Yes! Time, itself,
will follow him in haste to beg him for it to be a part of the Divine Mission!

Work will be led by the Divine energy when the Inner Will arises!
Know, My dear, that when inner will arises,
work will be led by the Divine energy, rather than time.
Time cannot control
the one that lives by the dedication of his effort.
It controls only a lazy mind
that lacks focus and direction.
Selfless work is superior to time,
and hence can never be inhibited.
Remember that you can always
find the time for that which you dearly love.
True love breaks time with it's persistence.
However, if it is merely a desire to love,
then one will always find the work lengthier and time insufficient.
With such an attitude, one has only pre-destined failure!

There is no right time to be with God, for god does not rest nor fail to respond to an earnest prayer..
There is no right time to be with God -
for there is no time that the Lord rests
and fails to respond to an earnest prayer.
If the mind is restful -
the heart clean and untainted,
then, even in the deepest of sleep,
the true self will be aware of the Lord's presence.
Time can rule and govern worldly activities,
but the work of the spirit can never be hindered by its change.
The one that experiences the changes
of time will not experience the state of constant bliss.
For one to remain constant
during the changes of time,
one must carry with him, always,
the truth that is linked to the nature of the self with complete faith in it -
the truth in which one knows
the spirit to be eternal -
to be indestructible - to be changeless!
To experience this truth,
one must link it with his chosen work, at all times.
Then, My child,
the work will become reality -
the experience of the knowledge!
Knowledge,
when it becomes experience becomes the faith.
The experience of faith leads to humility.
Humility leads to surrender.
Surrender leads one to experience peace.
Peace is the highest form of love.
Peace is completely detached to time.
The state of peacefulness is the state
of timelessness, and the timeless liver will be the eternal lover of God!

If you think you know, you really do not!
If you think you know
You really do not, My child
For thoughts will never, ever,
Sustain within them the true knowledge.
Thoughts are the vision of fear
Knowledge, O child, is the simple awareness
The spontaneous recognition to every truth!
If you think you believe
You truly do not, My child
For thoughts will never, ever,
Awaken within the light of faith
Thoughts are only suspicious
Faith, O child, is the certainty and loyalty to
the truth, always!
If you think you love
You really do not, My child
For thoughts will desire its own gain and
Hence, will never, ever,
Be able to give, to yield, to compromise, to sacrifice.
Thoughts sustain upon inhaling another's wealth
Love is the self provider that sustains upon its own
sacrifice, alone!
If you think you know God
You surely do not, My child
For thoughts, O love, are blinded
To the vision of the divine.
One will know God only by the heart
In thinking, Love vanishes, O child
In thinking, the Lord,
Himself, appears as the blur
In thinking, truth appears false
In thinking, the true self appears imaginary
In thinking, the right becomes unreachable
In thinking, the wrong becomes justifiable.
Hence, in thinking, O love
Lies the weakness in believing the untrue
Thoughts only appear strong
They truly are only of a weak nature
For they weaken the one that receives them.
Hence, let thoughts come
But be not led by them
Let them tease
But be not instigated by them
Let them threaten
But be not fearful of them
Let them come
Allow them to serve no purpose
A thought that is restrained
From awakening fear within you
Will wither, will eventually, die, God promises!

For, in knowing, one will truly know
His self - his purpose - his mission -

Give the Lord nothing less than your all - the whole self!
Give the Lord nothing
less than your all - the whole self!
Dive - plunge, completely,
in prayer, in silent, joyful conversations and peace,
My child, will surround and separate you from the eye of the wicked world.
Nothing can ever compare -
nothing can ever give you
the satisfaction nor fulfillment.
Nothing, O child of Love,
can ever take the place of God!
The place of God
is much higher than the holy earthly mother -
the bond between you and God is stronger
and much more magnetic than any closeness by marriage.
His love, O child, is dearer
than the miraculous and magical love of any friend!
Those that attempt to steal the nectar of His love,
themselves get enwrapped in its sweetness -
themselves get intoxicated in the fragrance of its purity.
Losing all body consciousness
and carrying the restful mind, they sway,
completely immersed, in the love for the self.
With the lullaby
of His praise, they sleep for the outer world
and keep themselves awake,
only to the truth that the inner world holds.
O what a glorious life,
what a noble birth,
in which time is only the bliss of peace
and work is only the union of divine love!
The true end of suffering
is when one can find peace
in whatever that surrounds him.
That is the true strength of prayer.
When peace comes, My child,
remember the prayer has been answered.
Desire will only provoke prayer.
Hence, My dear, to find the contact
with the Divine Master, leave all asking
and learn just to be in the presence of the Glorious Receiver of all good - all evil.
Learn, My child, just to be - just to be -
just to be! Just to be with Him is the highest form of any prayer -
the most sacred and pure of all spiritual practices.
Being with Him is the only way
the truth can ever be conceived and received for eternity.
The contact with God is the real end to all worldly troubles!
Pray, My child, for time spent in prayer will keep you away
from acting, reacting and repenting!
Pray and demand from
the self the love for the Master,
for you are its rightful receiver -
your life deserves nothing less than the best.
Love for God! Love for God! Love for God!
Being in that love is being in the right place, always!

Life with God is the only truth!
Life with God is the only truth -
any other way of life will make you
bear the consequences of the choice.
Those that deny God
are simply denying the truth of their own divinity.
Until one is not able to experience his own inner strength,

punishes, teases and controls all forms of life.
But once one is able
to experience the truth of his own purity,
he will be able to see clearly that God wills
only what the seeker chooses.
Know that the Lord
will never influence the seeker,
for He knows that whatever may be his choice,
today - his final choice, will in no way, differ from the nature of the absolute truth.
Man comes to this world to find God,
to establish His truth and to emanate with His peace.
The man that confines his every thought,
word and action to the self will surely fulfill the purpose of his coming!
The blessings of the Lord are
none other than one's own consent to the whole truth.
Follow the truth, love the truth with such dearness
that the identity of the truth becomes that of the seeker.
When truth becomes life

The empty chair..
A girl had asked the local pastor to come and pray with her father. When the pastor arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows and an empty chair beside his bed. The priest assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me," he said.
"No, who are you?" "I'm the new associate at your local church," the pastor replied. "When I saw the empty chair, I figured you knew I was going to come." "Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man.
"Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the pastor shut the door. "I've never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man. "But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it always went right over my head.."
"I abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old man continued, "until one day about four years ago my best friend said to me, 'Joe, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with GOD. Here's what I suggest. Sit down on a chair, place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see GOD (Jesus) on the chair. It's not spooky because GOD promised, 'I'll be with you always.' Then just speak to him and listen in the same way you're doing with me right now."
"So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I'm careful, though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm." The pastor was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old guy to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, and returned to the church.
Two nights later the daughter called to tell the pastor that her daddy had died that afternoon. "Did he seem to die in peace?" he asked. "Yes, when I got back from the store, I found him dead. But there was something strange, In fact, beyond strange--kinda weird. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on a chair beside the bed."
Let us also speak to GOD and make GOD live in our Lives and make GOD our Best Friend as a best friend is that whom we love to talk with, Turn towards in the time of need, will share all that is ours and the Best Friend is the one without whom we cannot live.

A story of LOVE Incarnated in ALL..
There's an old story about a group of monks living with their master in a Tibetan monastery. Their lives were disciplined and dedicated, and the atmosphere in which they lived harmonious and peaceful. People from villages far and wide flocked to the monastery to bask in the warmth of such a loving spiritual environment.
Then one day the master departed his earthly form. At first the monks continued on as they had in the past, but after a time, the discipline and devotion that had been hallmarks of their daily routine slackened. The number of villagers coming through the doors each day began to drop, and little by little, the monastery fell into a state of disrepair.
Soon the monks were bickering among themselves, some pointing fingers of blame, others filled with guilt. The energy within the monastery walls crackled with animosity.
Finally, the senior monk could take it no longer. Hearing that a spiritual master lived as a hermit two days walk away, the monk wasted no time in seeking him out. Finding the master in his forest hermitage, the monk told him of the sad state the monastery had fallen into and asked his advice.
The master smiled. "There is one living among you who is the incarnation of God. Because he is being disrespected by those around him, he will not show himself, and the monastery will remain in disrepair." With those words spoken, the master fell silent and would say no more.
All the way back to the monastery, the monk wondered which of his brothers might be the Incarnated One.
"Perhaps it is Brother Jaspar who does our cooking," the monk said aloud. But then a second later thought, "No, it can't be him. He is sloppy and ill tempered and the food he prepares is tasteless."
"Perhaps our gardener, Brother Timor, is the one," he then thought. This consideration, too, was quickly followed by denial. "Of course not" he said aloud. "God is not lazy and would never let weeds take over a lettuce patch the way Brother Timor has."
Finally, after dismissing each and every one of his brothers for this fault or that, the senior monk realized there were none left. Knowing it had to be one of the monks because the master had said it was, he worried over it a bit before a new thought dawned. "Could it be that the Holy One has chosen to display a fault in order to disguise himself?" he wondered. "Of course it could! That must be it!"
Reaching the monastery, he immediately told his brothers what the master had said and all were just as astonished as he had been to learn the Divine was living among them.
Since each knew it was not himself who was God Incarnate, each began to study his brothers carefully, all trying to determine who among them was the Holy One. But all any of them could see were the faults and failings of the others. If God was in their midst, he was doing a fine job of hiding himself. Finding the Incarnated One among such rubble would be difficult, indeed.
After much discussion, it was finally decided that they would all make an effort to be kind and loving toward each another, treating all with the respect and honor one would naturally give to the Incarnated One. If God insisted on remaining hidden, then they had no recourse but to treat each monk as if he were the Holy One.
Each so concentrated on seeing God in the other that soon their hearts filled with such love for one another the chains of negativity that held them bound fell away. As time passed, they began seeing God not just in each other, but in every one and everything. Days were spent in joyful reverence, rejoicing in His Holy Presence. The monastery radiated this joy like a beacon and soon the villagers returned, streaming through the doors as they had before, seeking to be touched by the love and devotion present there.
It was some time later that the senior monk decided to pay the master another visit to thank him for the secret he had revealed.
"Did you discover the identity of the Incarnated One?" the master asked.
"We did," the senior monk replied. "We found him residing in all of us."
The master smiled.

10 kinds of purity needed for all students..
The divine teacher
turns to the students
to promote ten kinds of purity.
However, these advices are universal, for everyone.
To develop one's moral and mental strength,
one should practice sadhana for disciplining the mind.
For this purpose, one has to
promote ten kinds of purity.
It is needful to remember
that the Lord cares for the purity
of the motive behind the act, not for the pomp and the show.
1. The first is purity of the place in which one lives.
It is necessary to fill the room in which one resides or studies with a sathwic atmosphere. The pictures or other objects you see should fill you with peace and pure thoughts. The room should be clean and free from anything that is impure.
2. In the family in which you live, there should be mutual understanding and cooperation, and a sense of harmony. A harmonious atmosphere will give you true peace of mind.
3. Using sathwic food. This means that none of the edible items should be excessively sour, bitter or hot. You should eschew rajasic food like fish or meat. Even good sathwic food should not be taken in excess. It is only sathwic when you sit for the meal with a light stomach and get up from it with a light stomach.
4. Whatever fluids you take should also be sathwic. You should not drink whatever water is available. It should be pure water. Alcoholic splits should be eschewed.
5. Sathwic thoughts and feelings are of great importance. Only if your thoughts and feelings are pure, can you get the full benefit of a clean room, a good family, and pure food.
6. If you want to develop sathwic feelings and thoughts, your vision must be pure. All Srishti (Creation) is based upon drishti (sight). When you have wrong vision, you have wrong thoughts. You should not commit the sort of offences, which you will not tolerate in others.
7. Whatever books you read or whatever you write should be pure. A good book makes for a good mind. Any book you may study about physics or chemistry or other subjects, does not affect your character. However, books, which are literary, are not always good literature. If improper books are prescribed for study, treat them as mere textbooks and do not attach any high value to them as guides for life.
8. Pure sathwic service. With regard to service, you have to decide what is sathwic and what is rajasic. We go and clean streets, build roads in villages or dig wells and do them all as a service to the community. However, the kind of service, which we do, should give real happiness to the people.
Narayana has two forms: one is 'Lakshmi Narayana', the other is 'Daridra Narayana'. This 'Lakshmi-Narayana' is full of wealth. He will be able to get many persons to serve him. But, for 'Daridra Narayana' there is nobody to serve him. It is to such persons that we should do sathwic service. (People today usually are eager to receive help from others, but have no desire to render help).
9. Sadhana. This is spiritual discipline. This must be sathwa. Some people do Hata Yoga. Some strive to develop the Kundalini Sakthi Some invoke evil spirits, to do harm to others. These forms of sadhana are not sadhana at all. The individual is Chith (Consciousness), God is Sath (The Eternal Absolute). When Sath and Chith combine, you have Ananda Sath-Chith-Ananda. Only the sadhana undertaken to realise Sath-Chith-Ananda is true sadhana.
Where is this Sath? This Sath is in everybody. You must perform sadhana in the spirit that the One pervades the many. In this process, you must cultivate the feeling of Love. By the way, there are two forms of Love. One binds you to God. The other binds you to the world. The mind is responsible for either of these states. It is like a lock. If you turn the key to the right, the lock opens. If you turn the key to the left, it gets locked. The heart is the key to the lock of the mind. If you turn the key towards the world, you have attachment (bondage).
10. Your occupation or profession. It should be work, which can benefit the nation, the community. You must ask yourself, "What is the service, what is the help I can do for the community?" You must see that there is no untruth in any work you do, no unfairness, no fraud, no evil motive. Absorb the teachings of all the great seers and prophets. Do not despise anyone. Everyone is entitled to accept what is good from any source. Differences of creed and caste are irrelevant. Swami's famous quotation declares,
"There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of Love. There is only one language, the language of the heart. There is only one God, He is omnipresent." It is said that atom bombs will reduce the world to ashes. However, those who are promoting religious bigotry and hatred are doing worse damage than what the atom bombs can do.
They are destroying the love and compassion in human hearts. They are breaking up mankind into fragments. There is no greater sin than this. What the world needs today is the redeeming and unifying force of Love - Love that continually expands and embraces more and more people.

turns to the students
to promote ten kinds of purity.
However, these advices are universal, for everyone.
To develop one's moral and mental strength,
one should practice sadhana for disciplining the mind.
For this purpose, one has to
promote ten kinds of purity.
It is needful to remember
that the Lord cares for the purity
of the motive behind the act, not for the pomp and the show.
1. The first is purity of the place in which one lives.
It is necessary to fill the room in which one resides or studies with a sathwic atmosphere. The pictures or other objects you see should fill you with peace and pure thoughts. The room should be clean and free from anything that is impure.
2. In the family in which you live, there should be mutual understanding and cooperation, and a sense of harmony. A harmonious atmosphere will give you true peace of mind.
3. Using sathwic food. This means that none of the edible items should be excessively sour, bitter or hot. You should eschew rajasic food like fish or meat. Even good sathwic food should not be taken in excess. It is only sathwic when you sit for the meal with a light stomach and get up from it with a light stomach.
4. Whatever fluids you take should also be sathwic. You should not drink whatever water is available. It should be pure water. Alcoholic splits should be eschewed.
5. Sathwic thoughts and feelings are of great importance. Only if your thoughts and feelings are pure, can you get the full benefit of a clean room, a good family, and pure food.
6. If you want to develop sathwic feelings and thoughts, your vision must be pure. All Srishti (Creation) is based upon drishti (sight). When you have wrong vision, you have wrong thoughts. You should not commit the sort of offences, which you will not tolerate in others.
7. Whatever books you read or whatever you write should be pure. A good book makes for a good mind. Any book you may study about physics or chemistry or other subjects, does not affect your character. However, books, which are literary, are not always good literature. If improper books are prescribed for study, treat them as mere textbooks and do not attach any high value to them as guides for life.
8. Pure sathwic service. With regard to service, you have to decide what is sathwic and what is rajasic. We go and clean streets, build roads in villages or dig wells and do them all as a service to the community. However, the kind of service, which we do, should give real happiness to the people.

Importance of people coming in our lives..
Importance of people coming in our lives
Sometimes people
come into your life
and you know right away
that they were meant to be there,
they serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help figure out
who you are and who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be:
your neighbour, child, long lost friend, lover,
or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them,
you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you
and at the time they seem painful and unfair,
but in reflection you realize that without overcoming
those obstacles you would have never realized your
potential strength, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance or
by means of good or bad luck,
Illness, injury, love, lost moments
of true greatness and sheer stupidity,
all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests,
whether they be events,
illnesses, or relationships,
life would be like a smoothly
paved straight flat road to nowhere,
safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet
who affect your life and
the successes and downfalls
you experience create who you are,
and even the bad experiences can be learned from;
In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you,
betrays you, or breaks your heart,
forgive them, for they have helped
you learn about trust and the importance
of being cautious to whom you open your heart...
If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you,
but because they are teaching you to love
and opening your heart and eyes to things
you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment
and take from it everything
that you possibly can, for you
may never be able to experience it again...
Talk to people
you have never talked to before,
and actually listen, let yourself fall in love,
break free and set your sights high...
Hold your head up
because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual
and believe in yourself...
for if you don't believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of
your life anything you wish.
You cannot do kindness too soon
because you never know how soon it will be too late...
Create your own life
and then go out and live it!!!
Tomorrow is Not Promised

Give your work all your attention....
The success and failure of all work,
whether it is duty or work that one
does for making a living or any voluntary work,
depends upon the strength with which one is able to condition the mind.
Give the work all your attention; full attention,
My child, will lead to its fullest comprehension,
and that which is completely understood,
will only bring enthusiasm and interest to the doer.
Once the mind is immersed in interest,
no radical or sporadic thought can disturb
or interfere with the work. In such a state,
where the mind is focused, one develops the powers of concentration.
The power of concentration awakens deep
and even deeper love for the chosen task,
and once such a love arises, one begins to
drown the work in the sweet nectar of perfection.

4 goals include righteousness, wealth, desire and liberation, but....
The Vedas lay down
four goals before man: Dharma (righteousness),
Artha (wealth), Kama (desire) and Moksha (liberation).
But they have to be
pursued in pairs,
Dharma and Artha together
and Kama and Moksha together.
That is to say,
Artha has to be earned through Dharma,
and Kama has to be for Moksha.
But man takes these four separately
and ends up losing everything.
He puts them into
separate compartments and
adopts distinct plans to achieve them.
He gives up Dharma and Moksha as beyond him
and wastes his life pursuing only Artha and Kama.
This leads him to ruin.

Break every condition of prayer,
for those that expect from prayer
will gain simply nothing from it.
The act of prayer is joyous on its own -
expecting the fulfillment of worldly desires from it,

The power of prayer lies in its purity,
My child - hence lead the act with the sincere heart -
do not plan the prayer - a prayer that speaks the mind
will only be unrestful and unresponsive.
Prayer is the foremost attempt
the mortal makes to develop contact with the Divine force.
Contact will only be made, if one, during the chosen period,
drops all his inhibitions, clears the thorns of pride from his path
and speaks to the Lord only the language of truth.
With faith in his Mother, the child must put
before the Holy Feet all his strengths, weaknesses, fears, evils,
and ask for guidance from his heart from the Angel of Love
to come and lead him to the reality where he comes from and
eternally belongs to!

Heed this advice...anger kills..
There was a mother
who was feeding her tender baby at her breast.
Suddenly, she plunged
into a violent quarrel with her neighbors,
and forgot to keep her baby down,
in the heat of vulgar oratory.
The poor child drank
the toxin-mixed milk of the mother
and when the flames of anger subsided,
the mother found that she had a corpse on her breast!
Desire, to which you are too fondly attached,
breed anger and its nefarious brood.
Discard it and you can have perpetual youth.

with the vision of only the inner eye.
To him, joy is not what he receives -
but what he can give,
for he knows that in giving away all,

will make the world, its temptations and its pains, disappear.
The light of the Lord is sure to shed

will be able to take away
the smile from you,
if you are determined to be happy.
Happiness is not
the golden pot of worldly gains -
it is the inner strength that
one finds to stay calm and balanced -
to stay fulfilled and thankful,
no matter what life may bring upon one's lap.
Such inner strength can be developed,
when one truly begins his journey to God.
The one that is always engaged in constant prayer
with the Divine Mother will be overwhelmed,
experiencing the flow of inner joy and his sincere focus
on only pleasing his Sweet Lord will keep him sheltered from life's pains.
The one that has found the biggest treasure,
i.e., his love for God - will never, ever again,
turn to the glitter of the worldly jewels.
His eyes will anticipate and seek only the
presence of the pure vision - he will only hunger
and yearn to make the contact with his secret love -
his only Master.
He is completely unaware of the pain,
the aging of his own body -
he, My child, lives in this world
with the vision of only the inner eye.
To him, joy is not what he receives -
but what he can give,
for he knows that in giving away all,
he will receive the magic wand that

Pay attention to the intake of impressions into the mind...whether they debilitate or strengthen..
Just as everyday
you engage in exercises and consume tonics,
calculating the intake of calories and vitamins,
paying meticulous attention to the nutritional value of the food,
pay attention also to the intake of impressions into the mind -
whether they debilitate or strengthen, whether they add
to the power of resistance of the mind against the viruses
of greed, envy, hatred, pride, malice, etc.
Have a meal of good acts,
divine thoughts, and drink the juice of love,
so that they may be washed down and digested well.
Then you can be shining in mental health and wholesomeness.

Take only water, so that all the dirt is washed away.
Do not crave

Even physical

they cannot run for ever continuously.
What then shall

organized human body!
When you take food,
all the evils are eliminated
if you offer the first morsel to God.
The food then
becomes prasad (sacred offering)
of the Lord bestowed on man.

Be eating non-vegetarian foods, we develop brutal mentalities..
Raajasik food
generates virulent thoughts.
By consuming non-vegetarian food
we develop brutal mentalities.
Those who are
practicing meditation
must abstain from meat.
We should also
remember constantly
that ahimsa or non-violence is the supreme Dharma.
When you kill an animal
you give him suffering, pain, harm.
God is in every creature,
so how can you give such pain?
Animals did not come
for the purpose of supplying food to human beings.
They came to work out their own life in the world.

Best that you don't smoke...
If you do not smoke,
you escape a number of illnesses
that follow that raajasik practice.
Any intoxicant or stimulant,
because it disturbs nature's trend, is harmful.
Smoking destroys health,
happiness, energy and even charm.
Smoke will not quench
your thirst or fill the hungry stomach.
It disfigures your face
and denigrates your lungs.
It debilitates you and makes you diseased.
Control yourself
and do not yield
to the snares of friends or society,
or what is miscalled social convention,
and become a prey to this and other bad habits.

Where is the 'life-force' of food?
When the seeds
are fried, they do not sprout;
that is clear proof that the "life-force" is eliminated.
Therefore, uncooked food,
nuts, fruits and germinating pulses are the best.
Use these at least at one meal,
say, for dinner; this will ensure long life.
And long life is to be striven
for in order that the years may be
utilized for serving one's fellow-beings.

We sustain ourselves by means of food provided by Nature, but...
Millions of living beings
grouped as species dwell on earth;
they sustain themselves by means
of food secured from Nature, as provided by Nature.
It is only man that is an exception.
He is the only living being which dislikes
raw food found in the natural state.
All other animals eat food as they are -
grain, grass, leaves, shoots, fruits.
Man boils, fries, melts, mixes and
adopts various methods of cooking
in order to satisfy the cravings
of the tongue, the eyes and the nose.
As a consequence, the food value
of these articles are either reduced or destroyed.
Birds and beasts do not adopt such destructive methods.
They eat things raw and consume the strength-giving vital essence.
So, they do not fall victim to the many ills that man brings on himself.

Thought of the Day...
This New Year Day proclaims
the truth that God is the Master of Time.
Unfortunately, man fails to understand the power of God.
He wastes three quarters of his time in unworthy earthly pursuits.
Spiritual pursuit is the right way of making use of time.
It calls for cultivating good feelings and doing good deeds
without selfish motive, extending love and c
ompassion towards all beings. This is real spiritual exercise.
'Sa' means Atma and 'Dhana' means wealth.
By utilising your time in spiritual pursuits,
you can enjoy spiritual wealth. But, man wastes
all his time in unholy thoughts and evil deeds
without understanding the divinity within him.
One should understand the value of time,
each moment of which vanishes faster than lightning.
If you want to sanctify your hard-earned human birth,
you have to cultivate divine thoughts.

You will receive grace and spiritual energy..
One will surely receive
the grace and energy
to spend time in a
spiritual manner -but, first,
he must stop all activities
that hinder and drain
the divine energy from arising.
Take upon yourselves
the most impossible spiritual exercise -
dedicate the disciplined soul
to the worthy task and lose
the weight of body consciousness -
let the buoyancy of faith and devotion
set you afloat to reach and touch
the divine ties of you and God!

The journey of the spirit carries nothing but the weight of its own effort..
The journey of the spirit
carries nothing but the weight of its own effort.
Work hard, correct your every move,
be conscious of the thought pattern that develops,
leave not even a speck of dirt upon yourself -
clean immediately, until the vision is even clearer.
Stop criticizing or competing with another's spiritual path.
Compare with none, envy none, see the wisdom
behind the pain you face, keep your mistakes
always open before you, constantly speak to yourself
and remind yourself of your goal.
Stop analyzing and build the glorious kingdom of faith.
Stop justifying the wrong, accepting the truth is much easier.
No one can ever take anything from the spiritual seeker.
Stealing from the self is impossible, My child.
Leave worry and fear the moment
you have chosen God, for God chooses
only the strong devotee to take home.
Do not speak or seek advice from the mind.
The mind is meant to be led - it is to be focused -
it is to be steered, constantly, by the Inner Doer.
Constantly separate
good thoughts from bad ones -
leave the bad thoughts and
use the good thoughts for the coming action.
Life must emanate only with the self -
any other reflection, impression or expression must be wiped.
God's love, My child, is the highest - to react it, one must climb the ladder of purity -
the peak of purity is the last of the uppermost step in the life of a noble one.
This last step, My child, leads to the doors of heaven -
the door the Lord, himself, opens eagerly,
once He hears the footsteps of His pure love mate.
The last stretch of the walk is the sweetest of all,
for the two hold hands - Yes! God
and the perfect man walk to complete
the last lap of the journey and their love
for each other merges them for eternity.
No life, no time can ever separate them now!

Be with a pure heart....
It is only the pure heart
that will be able to comprehend the sweetness,
and selflessness and the sacrifice of the Universal Mother's love.
Hence, there must be
constant effort to purify one's own vision.
One complains of praying for years,
yet, he has not been able to make
even a small contact with the Lord.
That will happen,
My child, to those who pray,
yet have no love for their prayer.
Prayer, My sweet,
must have the meaning -
it must have purity,
it must come from the heart.
Simple utterance
of the name will not awaken
the inner strength of divine communication.
The conversation with God begins,
when one learns His language -
the language of the heart.
Those that live by love will see life as the loving Hand of God!
