In this transitory life, joy and pain are also perforce transitory... nothing is eternal except GOD..

Everything in this world is

ephemeral,transitory; it is here today, 

but it may not be here tomorrow. 

So, if you desire for something, 

seek the Lord, who has no decline. 

Instead, if you crave for progeny, 

wealth and all comforts, you will suffer 

untold misery when you are called upon 

to leave everything and depart. 

At that moment, you would lament, 

"Oh, did I love so deep that I may weep so loud?" 

In this transitory life, joy and pain 

are also perforce transitory. There is 

nothing here fit to be worshipped as eternal. 

So, to get immersed in this search

for the evanescent and to forget the 

Supreme and the Everlasting is indeed unbecoming of man.

It is easy to spend each moment with God, Yes! Easy for th one that sees no others...

You sow bitter seeds and pray for a harvest of sweetness....

One wish leads to another; 

one bond brings about ten others.

It is in the very nature of human desire; 

for, the joy one gets through its satisfaction

is imperfect, limited, temporary, pregnant with grief.

You sow bitter seeds and pray for a harvest of sweetness. 

You wail over the soil, the plant, the rain. What can they do? 

The seeds themselves are diseased, defective.

Seek refuge from the teary storms of delusion under the roof of the Lord's name...

Seek refuge from the teary storms 

of delusion under the roof of the Lord's name -

the name that will shelter you from the confusions of unreality. 

As long as one will make the continual effort 

of meditating upon the Supreme during the course 

of each task that he performs, during his period of rest, 

during the hours of sleep, that one will free himself from 

all repentance of his sins - that one will never experience 

the fear and panic of worldly agitations - 

Yes! That one remains detached from all 

that the body experiences and lives the truth 

and functions through the universal spirit.

Life brings its strength from love, hence love, my child must be the only way that one can live this life...

Never blame another for discontentment...

The simple love for purity will equip one with the strong will....

One will feel that there is nothing as sweet as the splendor of the LORD..

The infant does not know the taste of milk. 
By taking it daily, it develops an attachment 
for it which is so deep that when milk is to be
given up and rice substituted, it starts to protest.

But the mother does not despair.
She persuades the child to take small 
quantities of cooked rice daily and by this process
it starts liking rice and it gives up milk. 

Milk was once its natural food. 
By practice, rice became its natural food,
so natural that if no rice is available for a single day, 
it becomes miserable.

So too, though sense-pleasures 
are “natural” at first, by means of practice 
and training and listening to the commendation 
of the wise, slowly the greater and more lasting
pleasure derivable from the glories of the Lord 
and their recapitulation is grasped. 

Thereafter, one cannot exist without 
that atmosphere even for a minute. 
One feels that there is nothing as sweet 
as the experience of listening to the splendor of the Lord. 

The company of the worldly who chatter 
about the senses and the sense-objects 
will no longer attract. 

The company which exults 
in praising the Lord will draw and hold.

You should learn the knowledge of the Self...which is YOU yourself..

Mountain peaks are charming from a distance. 

When approached, they confront us with terrifying jungles. 

So too, the objective world appears charming when you 

have not delved into its meaning and value. 

When discrimination is employed to explore its value, 

the truth is revealed that the 'jungles' of family or the world 

cannot give genuine happiness. 

You should learn the Knowledge of the Self, 

and become aware of your reality. By learning it and living it, 

you can quench your thirst and help to quench the thirst of all mankind.

Purity is the link between your awareness and the Lord's presence...
