Perfection comes,
My child, when the reigns are firmly held
and the direction is known, always!
Direct your life towards one hundred percent purity.
Strength comes,
when one leads the life
of the absolute truth.
Remember,
if you divert from the truth,
even by a fraction,
one loses an immense amount
of his own inner strength.
When one yearns
and works hard to preserve
every part of the truth,
the self will arise in its defense and protection.
Remember that self defense
is not the promise of one being free
from physical or mental pain -
that, one will have to endure
and overcome with the clarity
of his vision for his priorities.
Self defense is the strength
that surges from within to
maintain the nature of the existing truth -
Yes! The nature of the truth
must be preserved for the self
to express its fullest guidance.
Realize, and be prepared
that in the defense itself
is the unknown attack.
Most fear the attack
and give up on the defense.
Face the fear -
the attack will be mild -
the self defense will only become stronger.

There is, My child, truly,

Do not wait for another to rescue you -

notions and perceptions of life.
Even if one were to come
and free you from one kind of bondage,
know that he will bind you to another one.
That, My child, is not release
but is the transference from one prison to the other.
Remember, you are feeble and weak,
today, only because you were convinced
from an early age that weakness is a part of your nature.

of other imperfect beings,
you judged your own inner strength.
By the delusion of attachments,
you made the lives of those you think you loved,
the mirror, for you have been hypnotized
to live your life in their image - with their ideals!

If you overcome ego and desire,

4 things to how much one is giving to the Lord
The first thing,
My child, is that one
must stop worrying as
to how much of himself
he is giving the Lord!
Remember,
it is utter foolishness
to think that one can even
give the Lord anything.
To be a full part of the Lord,
one has to give the self,
fully and completely.
There is no proportion of devotion.
The love for God
must be a hundred percent.
Anything less,
and the identification with the body,
and the role one plays, will continue
to harass and hinder his spiritual path.
Secondly, one must never doubt
that his spiritual efforts are
unnoticed by the Divine Eye.
In the length of the effort,
one must not anticipate the weight of the results.
The Lord knows and will guide you,
when the turning point comes.
Do not be impatient and make the wrong turn!
Thirdly, one must have
the conviction and faith
that his own strength reflects
the reality and purity of his spiritual path.
Pure, dedicated effort
does not come easily.
Realize, My child, that the surge of strength
that experience within, is nothing
but the miraculous entrance of the Divine Power.
The one that fights to see
the vision of the truth is
surely in the presence of God!
Finally, do not withdraw from the effort,
simply by judging a short term result.
Once you have chosen the path of God,
know that the only failure is one's own withdrawal.
Remember that the fight
is much easier than living in captivity.
The trouble comes only to make you mightier.
True spiritual success is not in making life easier
with worldly comforts, but is in you becoming
stronger than the known difficulty!

is the inner strength
that one derives from his own self
to remain untouched by the illusion of the outer pain.
But man continuously
seeks joy from the external sources
and deprives his own self from emitting
and radiating its true nature.
Self deprivation gives one
the false notion of one's own limitations,
and in this ignorance, he gives up on his own will power
and attempts to buy the pleasures of the mind,
in order to replace the deficiency that he,
himself, created within his own self.
The pleasures that the mind
seeks are limitless and unstable in nature.
In one's foolish attempt to please the mind,
one pitifully becomes it. Yes!
One loses his own contact with
the powers of the self, and instead,
seeks the fame and glory of the worldly power.
In this mishap,
he loses the sense of all truth,
becomes a part of the transient world,
in which, time and fate play the game of pain and pleasure.
The power of God
that he came with is lost,
temporarily, in his seeking
the fulfillment in the biggest of all illusions - Desire!
Desire is the blindfold
upon man's inner eye
that forces the night upon him
even in the midst of a promising enlightening day!

Give away the worldly treasures you hide and take in return the peace one has in just being the SELF..
Hence, My child, unload -
Yes! Give away the worldly treasures you hide,
and take in return, the peace one has in just being the self.
Remember, the wise say
that if you have the self,
you have it all!
Shine the interior -
keep it clean -
the exterior is bound to weather and rust.
The time you face is
only the reflection of your past doing.
Don't try to change time -
change from what you have chosen to become.
Be yourself.
Have the courage to do this,
and time, too, will change for the better,
only to reflect your effort, your dedication and your devotion.
Perfection, My child,
does not come by prayer -
not by wishing - not by hoping -
not by wanting - it comes by hard work -
by the simple doing and being.
Be what you are -
do what you must do
and receive what you rightly deserve!

He, My child,

of life and like a beast would stay in hiding,

is in search of him so that he can attack him

If one is not able to adorn it and share it,
then, however rare the stone,
whatever its value, in reality,
it has given you the fear of having it -
hiding it - maintaining it and guarding it.
Desire is the wish of possessing,
and once one possesses it, it,
automatically, creates the evil
fear that makes it difficult for one's own use.
Hence, desire is nothing
but the state of the biggest poverty,
for it takes from you the inner strength -
it steals your stability -
it takes away from you every moment of rest -
it leaves you energiless, fatigued and mentally disabled -
the only thing it can ever give you is anxiety, fear, worry,
hatred, anger, bitterness, greed, jealously and envy!

The Little Candle
The Little Candle
Once upon a time a little candle stood in a room filled with other candles, most of them much larger and much more beautiful than she was. Some were ornate and some were rather simple, like herself. Some were white, some were blue, some were pink, some were green. She had no idea why she was there, and the other candles made her feel rather small and insignificant.
When the sun went down and the room began to get dark, she noticed a large man walking toward her with a ball of fire on a stick. She suddenly realized that the man was going to set her on fire. No, no!! she cried, Aaaaagghhh! Donʼt burn me, please! But she knew that she could not be heard and prepared for the pain that would surely follow.
To her surprise, the room filled with light. She wondered where it came from since the man had extinguished his fire stick. To her delight, she realized that the light came from herself.
Then the man struck another fire stick and, one by one, lit the other candles in the room. Each one gave out the same light that she did.
During the next few hours, she noticed that, slowly, her wax began to flow. She became aware that she would soon die. With this realization came a sense of why she had been created. Perhaps my purpose on earth is to give out light until I die, she mused. And thatʼs exactly what she did.
Lord created you and I to produce light in a dark world. Like that little candle, we all can produce the same amount of light, no matter how small we are or what color we might be. But we canʼt produce light until we receive it from an outside source. That source is Lord, the light of the world.

Wherever there is jealousy, there will also be hatred..
Wherever there is jealousy
there will also be hatred,
and whenever hatred is visible
you will find jealousy lurking invisibly behind.
Hatred takes on a particular form.
It manifests itself in various ways.
For jealousy there is no form;
it remains hidden under the surface.
It has been said that
there is no person in the world
who does not suffer from some jealousy;
there will be at least a small tendency
towards jealousy in every person.
Conquer Jealousy and
you can Conquer Anything.
To protect the good name
of your family you must
remain alert and aware of others' needs;
this requires sense-control.
If you do not have sense control,
you become arrogant.
One who is arrogant
and devoid of sense-control
is nothing but a demon.
If you want to practice
and protect your true self,
you have to develop sense-control.
For everything worthwhile in life,
sense-control is very important.

The tongue exemplifies sacrifice....
The tongue exemplifies sacrifice.
When it tastes sweet delicacies,
it sends them to the stomach.
But if the item is bitter,
the tongue at once spits it out.
Not merely that,
the tongue conducts itself
in the most honourable manner.
It does not step out
of its house (mouth)
under any circumstances.
It does all its work
without crossing its limits.
While all other senses do only one work each,
the tongue alone has the capacity to do two types of work,
namely, to taste and to speak.
That is why one
has to exercise proper control
over the tongue lest it should
indulge in sinful activities like talking ill of others.
In times of anger, observe silence.
Our ancients taught: talk less, work more.
The lesser you speak, the purer your heart remains.

Arjuna was afflicted

As long as you

you cannot achieve anything in life.
Sentimentality and

Deha, the physical body,
is composed of the five
primordial elements of earth,
air, water, fire and ether.
Sooner or later,
the body will perish.
But the Dehi,

And this Atma is

Arjuna into activity on the battlefield.

How does meditation help one’s body, mind and soul?
Meditation brings rest to your body.
Most diseases are psychosomatic.
When a child wants to avoid the exams he can simulate a fever.
When you say
you are tired you become tired.
The reverse is also true.
When you say I am doing fine,
everything is allright with me –
then the power of your mind will heal you.
This is possible only if you have learnt meditation.
The breath is the wall between the body and mind.
The breath brings harmony
between the body and mind.
When your mind is wandering the best
way to calm it down is through breath control.
By breathing in a particular way the
mind becomes quiet. In the heat of your anger,
if you take a couple of deep breaths,the anger will go away.
When you blow the breath out,
you breathe out anger too.
This is true with
all negative emotions such as lust and greed.
Meditation benefits not
only yourself, but also those around you.
Meditation creates
a new society with people
who are creative and productive.

By breathing in a particular way the
mind becomes quiet. In the heat of your anger,
if you take a couple of deep breaths,the anger will go away.
When you blow the breath out,
you breathe out anger too.
This is true with
all negative emotions such as lust and greed.
Meditation benefits not
only yourself, but also those around you.
Meditation creates
a new society with people
who are creative and productive.

Won’t acceptance of oneself and the world lead to stagnation?

you don’t become lazy or lethargic.

In that calming down, you grow.
When your mind has freed itself fromagitation,
it gains tremendous knowledge,

a certain clarity of vision,
the mind grows faster.
Yourpersonality expands.

like I am hopeless, I cannot do things right,etc.
Or I should have done better –

Meditation is Simple,

How do you define meditation?
Meditation is mind watching.
Most of the time we don’t watch
our mind and so we
become a victim of our mind.
Our thoughts become actions
over which we have no control.
When we watch our mind
the thought remains a thought a
nd it does not become an action immediately.
When we meditate,
we have freedom to act on our thoughts.
We can distance ourselves
from our own mind.
The Thoughts drift off and
weaken by day by day regular practice.
A time comes in one's life,
where equipoise state in worldy affairs
becomes more profound and an unknown inner voice,
intuitive power guiding you.
Meditation regularly activates
and balances the inner chakras and
one finds more fulfillingness, authenticity,
totality and fearlessness in one's actions.
This leads to a qualitative change,
an egoless, unselfish actions are just the by products
or fruits of Meditation in the long run......... .
You have to sow the seeds before Harvest.

True education is that which will help to liberate man..
The sages who laid down
the goals of education have declared,
" That is true education which helps to liberate man." -
Liberate him from greed,
hatred unrest, narrow loyalties and ego impulses.
Education today adds
to the unrest already in the heart of man;
it does not liberate him from the prison house of desire
into which he has strayed.
Man builds rest-houses
where he can cool his tired brain
and revive his exhausted nerves,
but he has yet to build temples of peace
where he can unconcernedly learn to witness
the happenings of the world, aware of the level of the world,
aware of the level of their relative importance.
That will give him equanimity.
Faith in an All-knowing God,
All-operating God will render him free
to watch with interest the ups and downs of history.
Just as the body needs rest,
the mind too needs quiet.
Faith in God
is the best guarantee for mental quiet.
Man must follow the path of virtue,
practice spiritual disciplines and take
an enthusiastic part in social service.
These three have to be accepted,
adored and assimilated into daily life.
Education has to clarify
the goal of life to the rising generation
and indicate the ways and means of accomplishing it.

A pure heart will
only do his very best,
and his very best is the completion
of what he undertakes.
Those that put limitations
on their duty have yet to find love for it.
Until you consider duty to be work, until then,
you, My child, will be robbed from the true joys that duty holds.
Duty must be considered as a part of life's needs -
just like one has to breath to live - eat food to live -
drink to live - one must also find the need to
develop love and find the inner joy to perform his work with perfection.

Life, my child is directly assoicated with TIME, for its outcome depends upon the way one spent his TIME!
Life, My child,
is directly associated with time, f
or its outcome depends upon the way one spent his time.
Time that is well spent
gives life its deserving fullness.
Work is worship
but the work must be beneficial to the self.
The work undertaken
must be such that it
awakens the inner strengths
with ease and spontaneity.
Hence, for each work
one undertakes,
one has to discriminate
if the work will lead one's life time towards God.
Such situations become confusing,
for the one that has yet not found
the strength to discriminate, rightly,
will not know if the work is the chosen one,
or if it is simply his own desire.
But duty does not bring such confusion -
for its work is outlined simply and clearly.
A "wife" is a life-partner, that devotes
her time to her husband's needs.
Her role is to be the
contentment of her husband.
Hence, duty, My child,
needs no analysis - no thinking.
It is simply an act
in which one fulfills the work
with his love for it.
Love and duty go hand in hand,
in fact, it is love that guides the chosen work.
Duty that is performed without love
becomes a "chore", and such an attitude
will fail to meet with the joy
that is associated with the chosen task.
Dive in completely -
let duty become the source of worship -
let duty become the teacher of life -
let duty become the reason to live -
let duty become the strength to awaken the inner God.

Duty is simply the rein that keeps man on the right path always!
Duty, My child,
is simply the rein that
keeps man on the right path, always.
Without duty,
life has no meaning -
man has no role -
and the mind has no goal.
Duty is the direction of love -
the map of sacrifice -
the only guide to reaching God.
Hence, each one must
take the responsibilities
that duty holds with utmost seriousness.
Duty must be accepted
by its doer, wholeheartedly.
One must not complain of being
given such golden work.
Remember,
O child of God,
that devotion, dedication and
discipline arise only in those
that make their duty bigger
than their very own needs.
Those that tread this path
with love and persistence will surely
lead others with their brilliance and inspiration!
What is duty?
Duty is the work that
one must do to abide
with the role he plays.
Adhering only to the title,
without the love for playing
the given role, makes duty
only an irony - only a joke!
For example,
if the one that is
called "the Mother" has no sense of selfless love -
has no inspiration to sacrifice for her own little ones -
if she is negligent in nurturing their needs, then she holds only the title -
a title that has no significance - no meaning!
Every role will bring
before the eye the perfect vision
of the work that is associated with it.
For, when one simply
utters the word "mother",
one sees before him compassion,
selflessness, sacrifice, pure love, loyalty and peace.
When one simply says,
"She is my mother",
one instantly knows that
it is she that has come to love
and protect him until her very last breath.

Remember that the worry of suffering is bigger than the real pain of suffering..
Remember, always,
that the worry of suffering is bigger
than the real pain of the suffering, itself.
Fear no more, My child,
and the strength to face the pain will come.
The roots of every fear are selfish.
Hence, to overcome fears one must be able
to give up and discard the mind's personal interest in nurturing the fear.
Know that the dirt can be removed,
when one is determined to live and lead the virtuous life, alone.
Purity will arise, only when one lives to kill desires, rather than to fulfill them.
Fulfillment of desires is the path of pleasure and pain.
Hence, for one never to experience pain,
one must also renounce the attachments to pleasures.
God is greater than all you can hold in your hands.
Hence, open them -
empty them from the worldly dirt -
clean the stains with the joy of
undertaking selfless work - graze them,
until one is numb to the pain of the body -
harden them - strengthen them
with the work of love.
Let the hands grow -
let them undertake all the work,
wherever the Lord is present.
Let the work of the
entire world become their duty,
for the largest hands - the cleanest hands
will only receive the largest heart that carries the greatest love.
The love of God!
Do not give up in finding it,
for you have come for it -
you have to live for it -
you have to die several deaths for it.
Realize that in life -
love - truth, there is only
one reality that is common - God!

To make life worthy,
one must only reflect it with the truth -
one must experience it only with love,
