No enemy can be as insidious as jealousy...

No enemy can be as insidious as jealousy. 

When one sees a person more powerful, 

or more knowledgeable, or with greater reputation

or more wealth or more beauty, or even wearing better clothing, 

one is afflicted with jealousy. 

 

You may find it difficult to acknowledge 

and accept the situation. Your mind may seek means

to demean them and lower them in the estimation of people. 

 

Such propensities and evil tendencies 

should never strike root in your minds. 

You must be careful such that your character is not polluted.

When we recall His Name, a stream of Love will spring forth from your heart..

The story of the Lord is an enchanting treasure. 

Store His story in your memory and save yourself 

from delusion and grief. 

 

You may have listened to the recitals of all scriptures

and mastered all spiritual practices. 

 

But the greatest of them all

is the sacred Name of the Lord 

and the sweetness that it oozes. 

When His Name falls on the ear, 

your heart will be filled with joy.

 

When you recall His Name,

a stream of Love will spring forth from your heart.

Worldly love for another person cannot be termed as genuine love...

Love for the Divine Self is primary; love 

for other worldly objects or persons is secondary.

 

Worldly love for another person cannot

be termed as genuine love. 

 

The cosmos or the five-element composite

emanated from God. There is no spot in the 

Universe where the Divine is not manifest. 

 

The cosmos is ever in movement 

and the Lord of the cosmos is the mover.

 

Love for the Divine Self is the source of all worldly love. 

 

It is clearly proclaim that when 

you love the Divine Self, it brings

everyone nearer and dearer to you 

Build the home and make God the heart, for when God is the beat, you will be in tune always and life will then be in synchrony with God's perfect melody...

Comprehend your very own role 
that will bring the change. 

The strength that will allow you to walk
is derived from your own love from 
within to reach the ultimate destination. 

As long as you will under-estimate 
your own spiritual potential, until then, 
I will be bound by your limitations 
that you have set upon My presence. 

Offer Me all that you have with your hearts full, 
and I will accept and reward you with Me, in return. 
The offer that comes only half hearted has snatched 
the home of life.

Know that a homeless life is only lifeless 
and a lifeless home has no room left for Me! 
Build the home and make Me the heart, 
for when I am the beat - you will be in tune 
always and life will then be in synchrony with My perfect melody.

Discipline must be enforced by you upon your own self. When forced by others, you consider it as 'criticism' when your weakness is pointed by another one.

Discipline must be enforced by you 
upon your own self, for when discipline 
is forced by another, its results are only 
suffocating and disastrous. 

When your weakness is pointed 
by another you consider it as "criticism" - 
once you have recognized your own weakness, 
only then will you truly seek the strength 
that will pull you and allow you to rise to the level of perfection. 

Carry the inspiration with you, always - 
motivate yourselves by visualizing 
your true independence. 

Remind your every thought that 
arises that you are now in My control - 
let the fears, fear their own existence. 

Let only the truth lead you - 
simplify your task by implicitly 
obeying the commands of the conscience - 
stop looking to only hear it - it is time, 
My child, that you listened from now!

Unxonditional love remains open to all... always..

Believe and I will be the assurance 
to your every doubt. Believe, and I will 
be more precious to you than any other want or desire. 

It is only a matter of your saying, "Yes"! 
Once you have affirmed My presence with your faith, 
I, My child, will confirm it with My Grace. 

Your pledge of self discipline will, one day, 
bestow upon you the biggest reward. 

Discipline will arise, only when one is determined - 
determination arises, only from devotion - 
devotion will sprout, only with the seed of faith - 
and faith in the Lord will arise, only when 
one begins to recognize the constant rejection 
one faces in this world, and realizes that 
My path of hope, patience and 
unconditional love remains open to him, always!

No pride, nor doubts, nor fear, nor sarcasm, no blame, no anger can ever threaten to erase God's presence...

Yearn for the Lord with sincerity and faith, 
and watch, My dears, every door that appears 
bolted will unlock, itself, welcoming you 
in the constant paradise of My security. 

Pray, My child, with complete pureness, 
and let the devotion that arises dig deep 
within to find that loot of strength that 
will make the ground move - 
letting the feet rest in the peace of prayers. 

Know, My child, that your spiritual disciplines 
are the wheels that allow the vehicle of life to move ahead - 
let the mind be locked securely in the trunk, and let 
the intellect arise from within to steer its way to the right path -
leading you to the steps of faith, awakening from 
within the voice that speaks the truth in whispers. 

No pride, nor doubts - 
nor fear, nor sarcasm - no blame 
nor anger can ever threaten to erase My presence. 

To Me, My dears, you are the 
wound-up toy that will, eventually stop - 
once the key of worldly ignorance has
completely unwound its way through you. 

Believe, and I will become 
the answer to your every question.

Practice the exercise of purity and cleanliness, at all times, yet do not be afraid to touch the puddle of dirt...

Practice the exercise of purity and cleanliness, 
at all times, yet do not be afraid to touch the puddle of dirt. 

The river, My dears, flows along the banks 
carrying with it decayed debris, mud - it climbs over rocks -
beats against the harshness of several hurdles, 
yet it meets its end by merging its identity 
with the mother source. 

None can wash water, and it is none other 
than water that can cleanse the dirt of another. 
Be that water that flows with sacrifice only 
to bear and endure another's impurity. 

Water in itself, has no color, 
yet it mingles pleasantly with simple willingness, 
acquiring and accepting the tint of several shades. 

Water, in itself is tasteless, 
yet it accepts the essence of all flavors.
It accepts the sugar, only to become the sweet dessert -
it accepts the bitterness, only to become the curing medicine - 
it accepts the salt only to become the stream of tears - 
it accepts the sourness only to be the solution that 
rubs off the tarnish, leaving the original brilliance. 

The need of water, My dears, is inexhaustible. 
The water, My child, must flow, for when it stagnates, 
it will lose the nature of its purity and will remain 
infested and polluted by the parasites 
and intoxicants that will consume its true nature. 

Flow, my dears, with that divine energy - 
learn to accept the worst - know, My child, 
that the stubbornness of the "worst" will bend, 
humbly, before the patience of the best. 

The good, O dear, can never be choosers - 
choosing is only refusing another, and refusing 
another will only make you strengthen his weakness 
and lose your purity of goodness. 

The good only stand before the bad, 
only to take the bad and give back the good. 
They soften the wicked by lashing the whip 
on their own backs - they convince the ignorant 
not by argument but by their silence of wisdom. 

They lead not by threat or force, 
but by their trail of peace and love. 

They, My dears, have descended upon 
this earth to offer to you their source 
of eternal energy that will kindle the 
flame of immortality in the life that 
lives today in the vision of death.

Seek goodness, My child for it is only the good that learn to love and give...

Seek goodness, My child, - 
for it is only the good that learn to love, 
and love will be the stream that will instinctively 
flow to merge in the ocean of God. 

No more tears - no more sorrow, 
for the good live to give - their upliftment is their sacrifice - 
they give the gift of life a perfect meaning by willingly making
it the purest - the most fragrant offering. 

No more fears - no more mine - 
for those who have begun to know 
of the secret to love, will only long 
for another to find and experience 
their own contentment - 
they crawl their way serving every feet - 
the feet of the needy, the miserable, 
the downtrodden, the spiritual, the pure. 

They serve with promptness, 
obedience and respect, touching each of their lives, 
and in each caress, they will make contact and will feel 
My softness - grazing upon their knees - rubbing off their pride. 

Yes! Their way, My child, may seem 
and appear slow and painful, but realize 
that their slowness is their steadfastness - 
their service is the gain of their love - 
their implicit obedience is the richness 
of faith and humbleness - their pain is 
their vow of determination and their 
sacrifice is nothing but their vision of oneness. 

They have made truth their day, 
accomplishing all their work in that light - 
they see no night for they have become 
the beacons of light that shine through all darkness. 

They rest only in their spiritual work - 
their last breath will only signify the 
completion of their service - 
every being is their idol to worship - 
their prayers may seem silent - 
but know that they chant, repetitively, 
only by their loving deeds!

When the wind changes and the same person is disliked or blamed, even the good he does strikes us as bad...

Attempting to hide one's meanness 

and wickedness and putting on the mask of goodness,

justifying one's faults and exaggerating one's attainments -

these are also poisonous traits. 

Equally poisonous is the habit of 

ignoring the good in others and assiduously

seeking only their faults. 

Never speak words that demean anyone. 

When we are friendly with another and like them very much, 

whatever he/she does is certain to strike us as good. 

 When the wind changes and the same person is disliked,

even the good he/she does strikes us as bad. 

Both these reactions are misconceived. 

They are not commendable at all.
