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...

Evil qualities such as hatred, envy, greed and ostentation should be uprooted...

Evil qualities such as hatred, envy, greed 
and ostentation should be uprooted. 

These traits are vitiating not only common 
people but even ascetics, monks and heads of institutions. 

Among these, envy and greed have gone unchecked. 
What the world needs today is not a new order, a new 
educational system, a new society or a new religion. 

Holiness must take root and grow in the minds 
and hearts of youth and children everywhere: 
this is the need of the hour. 

The good and godly must endeavour to promote this
as the greatest spiritual practice that everyone must undertake.

The sweetest, the most nutritious, the most delicious... my Lord, to your pleasing offerings that I dare humbly 'provide' here...

Our love for you, our Lord will be permanent and growing big... accept our humble offerings... so tiny yet it is full of love, my Lord...

We offer you, our Lord, our humble hearts, purify us so that we will one day merge with greater love, our Lord...

We commit ourselves to you, Lord, the past, the present and the future into Your Hands... accept us as what we are and what we have... Lord

Lord, flowers for you, my Lord.. in remembrance of your divine motherly love to all of us..Thank you, thank you, Lord...

God knows that the one you love, the one you hate, the one you fear, the one you accept, the one you reject, the one your praise or blame are all God...God...

Develop the strength of devotion by knowing

and realizing the one-ness of all. It is the same

body and same spirit that may be the daughter 

of one, the sister of another, the wife - the mother - 

the grandmother - the friend. 

The role of the soul may differ -

the duty of each role may differ, 

but the one that stands behind 

each role is one - only one!

In the same way, each divine current 

or energy has manifested to take the

form of a body - each one is bestowed 

with certain duties - each one has his 

own role to play, but within the body 

of each, lies the energy that is universal - 

that is one -

God! Know, My dears, that the one you love - 

the one you hate - the one you fear - the one you accept - 

the one you reject - the one you praise - the one you blame 

are all Me - Me - Me!!!

A must to read and understand... The fire of jealousy will melt you to nothing but ashes....

The poisons of even the smallest envy 

or jealousy will assault the home of peace 

and will make you only burn in the pyre of death -

for death has shown its early signs, 

when life will continue in the absence 

of good will to all around you. 

The fire of jealousy will melt you, 

My dears, to nothing but ashes. 

The mind, once intoxicated with envy, 

will only become the dagger that will 

pierce the goodness of your heart. 

The wound lies within, and yet, 

in desperation and in your very own ignorance, 

you will seek the cure externally with the spiteful

medicine of stinging hatred. 

The hatred of pride will bring with it the 

hypocrisy of devotion, and in this hysteria of envy,

one will separate his own God from another!

But tell Me, My dears, can God be broken 

into pieces for one to own?

Know that each streamlet and all rivers 

will travel their course - will meet with all their ups

and downs, and at the end of this journey, 

they will merge their existence into the wide ocean.

However much the course of the river

may differ from the stream, they both, will, 

one day, meet to empty all their contents into

the mother water body, without any traces of differences.

In the same way, O child of God, dissolve 

all the differences that lie within you, and

know that each one's travel, whatever their mode, 

however much they lag behind, whichever the form -

all, My dears, will, one day, flow with their divine 

currents to reach Me and be one with the mother 

current that flows in all.

Yes! It is all Me - I am the pure rain that 

pours and brings the existence of the rivers 

and streams - I am the current that allows 

it to flow in the right direction - 

it is My energy that lies in the stones, 

pebbles and mud that obstruct the flow, 

at times - I am the salt that changes the 

nature of the fresh water into one taste 

and one form - the ocean -

I am the energy that lies in the sun 

that evaporates the water - I am the cloud

that holds this water - 

Yes! The nectar of grace that will, 

one day, pour again with the rain of 

divine life to continue its existence.

Fear pleasures, My child, for it will only lead to the doors of its separation, it is only pleasure that brings path

Practice meditation and derive from your own self the secret method to communicate with the divine voice...

Yes, God is with us, He is with us, with us....

If God is not your very first priority, pitifully, truth will never be either....

Once you have connected with the power lines of communication, you will enjoy the company of the divine strength in the biggest of crowds...

Hold on to the Lord as the Universal Goal and make Him the destination of your life's journey.

 

Look at the crane - it walks about pretty 

fast in water. But, during that walk, it cannot 

catch any fish. 

It must, for that purpose, become slow a

nd quiet and stand motionless. So also, 

if one proceeds with greed, anger and other 

evil qualities, one cannot secure the fish of 

truth, love and peace. 

You must chant the Name of the Lord. 

Then, you will surely overcome the natural 

traits of greed and anger. 

Hold on to the Lord as the Universal Goal 

and make Him the destination of your life's journey. 

Practice control of speech and constant contemplation 

of the Lord. Then you will be able to subdue your mind 

that makes you restless, and gradually you will be filled 

with all the good qualities!

Silence, is not a weakness but is the strength that can swallow all weaknesses and is the control that can bind all temptations of the ego...

Each word that leaves the tongue must

be only meaningful and must contain the 

wisdom of truth and love. 

The truth that depicts no love but only spite,

must never escape the tongue and must be 

compressed, forever, between the gates of your life.

Silence, My dears, is not a weakness but 

is the strength that can swallow all weaknesses 

and is the control that can bind all temptations of the ego. 

The wolf that defends himself by howling all night 

will only awaken to sunrise with the fatigue of no sleep 

and he will be compelled to sleep in the brightness of daylight, 

ignoring each task or duty to be performed.

Let the prayer, My dears, become your conversation with the LORD...that will ties the bond between you and HIM...

Let the prayer, My dears, become your 
conversation with the Lord - the conversation 
that ties the bond between you and Him every moment - 
all day - all night - all your life! 

The plea of the true seeker will hear the 
voice of God that will respond to his every 
difficulty that lies in his duty and in his spiritual quests. 

The joy that you will experience in spending 
every moment with Me, will, automatically, 
give you the strength to react, with the silence
of bliss to any bullet that may be fired in the heat
of another's ignorance. 

The "dam" of silence will obstruct and break the 
flow of any uncontrolled verbal assault and will force
the one that instigates this flood of words to withdraw and accept defeat.

You will only tire yourselves when you revolve around the world, stay with the confidence of contentment and watch the world revolve around you...

The ones that indulge in constant blabber

are the ones that have drained all their divine energies 

in the futility of worldly merriments, and today, lead the 

lives of complete laziness. 

They have only exhausted themselves in trying 

to socialize and attain fame in joining organizations 

that have no goal, and in this fatigue, they have lost

the peace of even a moment to sit back and enjoy 

the beauty of God that surrounds them. 

You will only tire yourselves when you will revolve 

around the world - stay with the confidence of contentment, 

and then watch the world revolve around you.

His hand will only stoke with love and compassion, his eyes shine with tears of your downfall, his language of silence will speak the volumes of ..

The power of speech must remain in control, 
for once the tongue has lashed its whip of harsh angry words, 
it will leave a bruise of your untamed brutality, forever.

The response with silence will relieve the heart 
of several "heart aches" and will drown the fire of
arguments in the stillness of an even minded one. 

Know that the might of the Lord prevails, 
for He will accept the slap of evil with His humbleness 
and humility; and will never raise His divine hand 
in response to scar the cheek of evil.

No! His hand will only stroke with love 
and compassion, His eyes will shine with 
the tears of your downfall, and His language 
of silence will speak the volumes of knowledge 
that will, some day, touch the very core of your heart.

Let the practice of silence be your penance, for silence bares the sacrifice of words and speaks the calmness that saturates love...

Let the practice of silence be your penance,

for silence bares the sacrifice of words and 

speaks the calmness that saturates love.

Know that the language of the eyes 

communicate much more effectively 

than that of the tongue, and it is only 

in serene quietness that one can concentrate

and contemplate on the glory of the Lord.

It is only in this atmosphere of unspoken words 

that one can carry Me with him, constantly, and 

can perform the acts of sacrifice with the restfulness 

of an unagitated mind that will not seek the pettiness 

of self defense and will sustain the pressures of 

external and internal attacks of any accusation or blame.

In this world, there is no penance higher than fortitude, no happiness greater than contentment, no blessing holier than mercy....

In this world, there is no penance 

higher than fortitude, no happiness 

greater than contentment and no 

blessing holier than mercy and no 

weapon more effective than patience. 

Devotees should consider the body as a field, 

the good deeds as seeds and cultivate the Name of the Lord. 

Take the help of the Heart as the farmer 

in order to get the harvest - which is the Lord Himself.

Like cream in the milk, fire in the fuel, the Lord is in everything. 

Have full faith in this.

Food should be considered as medicine for the illness of hunger and as the sustenance fror life...

Eating food is a holy ritual.

It should not be performed 

during moments of anxiety 

or emotional upheavals. 

Food should be considered 

as medicine for the illness of hunger 

and as the sustenance for life. 

Treat each trouble you encounter 

as a fortunate opportunity to develop 

your strength of mind and toughen you spiritually.

Post 2042 Those who aspire to attain God must cultivate good habits, discipline and noble qualities...

The taste of food cannot be appreciated

if the person is ill or if the mind is immersed in something else. 

Similarly, even if you are engaged in spiritual practices, 

you will not experience joy if your heart is filled with evil qualities. 

You can taste sweetness so long as there is 

sugar on the tongue. However, if there is even a tinge 

of bitterness on the tongue, your whole mouth tastes bitter. 

Therefore, those who aspire to attain 

the Holy Presence of the Lord must cultivate good habits, 

discipline and noble qualities. 

The usual accustomed ways of life will not lead you

to God automatically. You must perform spiritual practices to modify it suitably.

There will be a lot of sacrifice, a lot of pain to endure....

Know that when the lion is confined to a small cage in the zoo and is fed a large meal without him having to hunt - he, too, will lose his fierceness and ability to stand in the domain of independence - and that lion that could once fight any danger to survive, will become lazy and will, one day, be the victim of a much weaker and smaller animal. In the same way, you, too, must sustain every attack of the mind and ego, for your true nature dwells in the strength of divinity that can fight any attack of weakness and dependence.

It is a short life, My dears - there is less time, and you have a lot to accomplish - a lot to sacrifice - a lot of pains to endure - a lot of confusions to sort - a lot of strengths to develop - a lot of weaknesses to trample - Yes! You may think it is a lot to give up - Give it up, O child of truth, for there is a lot more to attain!

No work will be done, until you will allow the self to walk the steps ahead and lead the mind with its command of the self supremacy....

No work will be done, until you will allow the self to walk the steps ahead and lead the mind with its commands of the self supremacy. The mind, My dears, will cowardly admit its inferiority over the true you, but know that the ego will resist every step of yours and will drag in its pain of rejection - slowing the drive in you to walk this marathon of eternal bliss. Pay no attention to the threats of the ego leaving you - in fact, know that to be your truest blessing, for once it has said its sorrowful goodbye - you, My dears, have come closer to attain Me.

The words 'want to try' is the language of the one that holds in his one hand the key to unlock the self but still the other hand...

The words, "want to try", is the language of the one that holds in his one hand the key to unlock the self from the prison of misery, but still, on the other hand, has tightly closed his fist to the string that holds the balloon of desires afloat. In these riots of confusion, the mind will superimpose its evil powers upon you, discouraging and ridiculing every step you take towards the self. The self holds in its arms the potential of all divine strengths, where the mind contains only the laziness of excuses that convince you to stay spiritually inert.

The fear of the unknown lies in the minds of the ignorant...

Each lifetime gives you the opportunity
to open the doors and escape from the grave walls 
of solitary confinement - yet, you choose to refuse 
the help of the many hands of God and remain 
hopelessly dependent and enslaved - in fact,
truly compelled to serve the evil hands of your ego. 

The fear of the unknown lies in the minds of the ignorant - Yes! 
The ones that fear the world of God and have convinced themselves 
in finding a moment's joy in their reality of untruths! 

The one that dreams, while still awake, will never complete 
his given tasks and will lag further behind with the stresses 
and pressures to face tomorrow. 

Tomorrow will come, My dears, and he will dream again -
for he has developed a fear to work and finds his security 
and feels successful in his wishful fantasies. 

One can aspire, and one can dream, 
but until he makes true effort in the waking state, 
nothing can be accomplished. 

It's time that your dream of meeting with God 
and becoming Him became the purpose of this life -
Yes, this lifetime, this moment on, begin the work that y
ou have ignored and made excuses with - 
and with all seriousness accept Him as the 
only true reality, and let the dreamer wake up,
just this once, into the reality of his dreams.

Behind a face that fears, is a mind that desires...

Yes,, God is with you... with you... with you..

Once the Lord is the inspirer, the devotee becomes the inspiration...

See God everywhere, anywhere, .....

When you have one pointed devotion towards the Lord, you see Him everywhere. When your thoughts, vision and words are sacred, you are verily God yourself. Then, you don't need to search for God. God Himself will come searching for you. God is every where; one need not search for Him. In fact, God Himself is in search of a good man. One who is a recipient of God's love is a good man. Such good man is God man.

The time has come to grow and mature... dont look with greed and rob that toy that belongs to your own brother or sister or mother...

The time has come to grow and mature - 

it's time that you stopped crying like a child 

that is envious with greed for the toy that belongs 

only to his own brother. 

Maturity will come, only when sacrifice will 

enter the hearts of the ones that are "obsessed to possess". 

No possession, nor attachment, will ever give 

you the complete fulfillment of peace. 

The Lord, My dears, has come to take all 

from you, only to give you back that which you 

lost in the temporary blindness of worldly delusions. 

Offer Him, Me sweet, all the evils of your possessions,

and take from Him the light heartedness - the golden wings 

like that of an imprisoned bird that has found, to its joy,

its new freedom and flies to the skies where the heavens smile with its welcome.

Simplicity is a jewel that will sparkle on its own and will never need the polish of material wealth

Simplicity is a jewel that will sparkle 

on its own and will never need the polish of material wealth. 

In sweetness, alone, lies its strength - 

in its contentment, alone, will it speak of its true independence. 

The joy of freedom will reflect in the hands 

that carry the least burdens of worldly possession. 

Know that one will not be able 

to live in peace amongst the several imperfections of human love, 

once he has experienced even a speck of God's love. 

The needs of the body are only a few - 

Yes! A piece of bread will satisfy the grueling hunger pains -

a cup of water will quench the burning thirst - but the mind will r

emain unsatisfied, however much you may meet its evil challenges - 

the ego will only rise higher each time you bow to it with 

the shame of your failure to withstand the agony of its dominating powers. 

Thus, all your energies must be directed 

towards controlling the mind into a "speechless silence" 

ignoring its taunts of your "true strengths" and hushing it 

into a forced silence of sleep from which it will never awaken. 

Direct the energies to wage a fierce battle 

with the false pride of dignity that has only degraded 

and devalued every divine virtue that lives within you. 

Direct the energies to strengthen the body 

against the whims of laziness, learn to endure the pains 

of selflessness, and be that body that serves with every limb, 

only to bring the light of joy in others.

.

One live, today to pamper the body, indulging time in wasteful habits and have been truly inattentive to the needs of the SOUL..

You live, today, to pamper the body,
indulging time in wasteful habits and 
have been truly inattentive to the needs
of the soul. In this vanity, you have 
become the owner of a car that sparkles 
as new, but yet, has an engine within that 
is rusted and nonfunctional!

Your superficiality has left you hollow within, 
and this void of emptiness has compelled 
you to run the race of "simple treats" and desires. 

Each temporary fulfillment will only 
bring the need to another desire, yet to be fulfilled, 
and will only instigate a selfish demand from another
to serve your so-called "needs".

Service is the blossom of love...

Service is the blossom of love, 

a flower that fills the mind with rapture. 

Harmlessness is the fragrance of that flower. 

Let even your little acts be 

suffused with compassion and reverence. 

Be assured that your character 

would thereby shine greatly. 

The highest happiness is contentment. 

Where there is no harshness, holiness 

will thrive and virtue will flourish. 

Where greed exists, there, vice will breed thick.

Hurting another, is the intentional revenge of one's own internal pain and chaos...

Try to prevent the five sins that the body commits, killing, adultery, theft, drinking intoxicants and the eating of flesh...

Try to prevent the five sins that 
the body commits: killing, adultery,
theft, drinking intoxicants and the eating of the flesh.

A man in judged by the nature of his actions; 
if they are good, then he, too is a good man, 
and if they are bad, then he too is considered 
a bad or wicked man.  

Man's qualities and actions are interdependent.

If we lack virtues we are reckoned only as a beautiful flower with no fragrances...

You may have outstanding physical beauty. 

You may have the sparkle of robust youth. 

You may be from a high and noble lineage. 

You may be a famed scholar. 

However, if you lack the virtues that 

spiritual discipline can only ensure, 

you will be reckoned only as a beautiful flower, with no fragrance. 

You must live in accordance with the 

prescriptions from the Scriptures and 

perform actions with the attitude that is 

needed to preserve the status you have

gained as the highest soul amongst animals and living beings.

The inevitable destiny of every living being is the attainment of perfection and fullness.

The inevitable destiny of every living being 

is the attainment of perfection and fullness. 

Our present condition of incompleteness 

is the consequence of our activities during our previous lives. 

The thoughts, feelings, passions and acts of past lives 

have caused the present condition in life. 

Similarly, our future condition is being built 

on the basis of our present deeds and desires, 

thoughts and feelings. 

Seek help from the Divine to purify 

and sublimate your consciousness. Thus, 

your spiritual progress will be accelerated 

and you will attain perfection and fullness.

Can light and darkness ever co-exist at the same place, at the same time?

All spiritual practices are of no avail, 

if the heart is not pure. 

Your cravings and attachments 

will not disappear even if you are immersed 

in many spiritual practices so long as the heart 

is full of the illusion of egoism. 

Remember that agitations of the mind 

cannot exist in the same heart filled with love. 

Can light and darkness ever co-exist 

at the same place, at the same time? 

Hence, you must remove the illusion 

of egoism from your heart. 

If you are desirous of getting 

rid of the feeling of "I" and "mine", 

you must worship the Lord. 

You must become an aspirant without likes and dislikes.

Be prepared to walk on the fires of life and remain unaffected by the heat....

Know that the shadow of misery that lies ahead, 
will, one day, be left behind.

Misery can only walk with you, 
if you will hold its pitiful hand! 
Be brave! Be prepared to walk
on the fires of life and remain unaffected by the heat. 

You will only feel the burn if you recognize "pain". 
The world is plagued with fears of misery - 

You, My child, must be the one that stays
afloat to give all the hope and strength of 
surviving their own evils that lie within. 

Plenty in the world are there to cry, 
and only a few hands remain that wipes their tears. 
Be that hand that washes the tears of all - 
be that sweet heart that brings a smile on a face of despair.

Forget your miseries by learning to accept God's will and surrendering yours forever....

Stay untouched to the pain of the mind - 
stay untouched to the pain of pride - 
stay untouched to the pain of the senses - 
and rise above the pain of the body, 
and only then, will pain stay away from you, forever. 

Forget your miseries, O child, by learning 
to smile with the happiness of another. 
Forget your miseries by learning to walk without the pain. 
Forget your miseries by learning to accept God[s
will and surrendering yours, forever.

The true reason of your sadness is the restlessness of a miserable mind that makes you bitter to your life....

Know that in misery the mind 
speaks the language of hatred, 
and the eyes envision only scenes of destruction. 

The mind loves none, and once peace has departed, 
the thoughts will only burn with resentment for all, 
and the heart will close its doors to any love that may knock. 

Remember, the mind will never 
seek the bliss of contentment, 
for once you have tasted that nectar, 
the mind will lose its power of dominating you. 

The mind only feasts upon your condition 
of misery and will only instigate you to spread 
your unhappy thoughts to destroy any peace 
that may exist around you. 

Recognize, My dears, 
the true reason of your unhappiness. 

Yes! The restlessness of a miserable mind 
that makes you bitter to your own self.

It is time you fought with the miseries 
of the mind and wiped this illusion of 
false suffering and pain. sweet heart
that brings a smile on a face of despair.
