Gurudev Uvacha

Love is seeing God in the person next to us and meditation is seeing God within us.

Remember, the  rituals point the way to the Supreme, which can only be found  within. Therefore it is the inner attitude, not the strict  observance of external rituals, which is important.

“Let His Name be ever with you; imperceptibly , relentlessly time is creeping away”

“There is only one religion; the religion of Love There is only one language; the language of the Heart There is only caste; the caste of Humanity There is only one God, He is Omnipresent."

Many a times, it’s not about making the effort to change others but it’s changing yourself which brings positive results because it is your change which inspires others to change.

"Faith in God and in the Teacher is difficult. But it is the ancient Spiritual rule to choose one path and follow it. Stick to the five points I've given you; proper exercise, proper relaxation, proper breathing, proper diet, and positive thinking and meditation."

“You should thank the one who draws attention to something in you,rather than being offended. Actually that person is doing you a great favour and service by giving you some knowledge about yourself which you, by yourself, have been unable to obtain”

Our prosperity, our friends, our bondage and even our destruction are all in the end rooted in our tongue," says a famous adage.

Do not be stubborn. Always be willing to change. Adjust yourself in such a manner as to be pleasing and friendly with all. Learn to react in a loving, peaceful manner. Love all and serve all. Then you will quickly win the hearts of those around you and shine like a star.

“True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.” 

Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.

There are no others.  One takes the body to be oneself.  Hence, one treats others also as bodies.  Plunge within and be the Truth, always.

To know that there is fire in wood is knowledge. But to make a fire with that wood, cook food with that fire, and become healthy and strong from that food is vijnana.

The key to happiness in life is to not stay stuck in ‘I…Me…Mine’ (meaning one’s own personal desires or material gains). Dedicate your life to some larger goal, or to the service of others around you. Then you will find that only happiness flows through your life.

Now we have to try to experience God as the reality, and as the substratum of the entire universe.

“Whenever you possibly can, sustain the flow of a sacred Name. To repeat His name is to be in His presence. If you associate with the Supreme Friend, He will reveal His true being to you.”

 Placing a ceiling on desires - consciously and continuously striving to eliminate the tendency to waste time, money, food, and energy - and utilizing the savings in service of mankind.

A positive attitude makes life experiences more beautiful. A positive minded person with a positive perspective looks at life differently than a person with a somewhat negative mindset.

"All things I am doing now, if I did not have great love and faith in my Master, I would not be able to do these things at all, not even the simple things. God gives me strength because of my devotion to my Master."

“You should thank the one who draws attention to something in you,rather than being offended. Actually that person is doing you a great favour and service by giving you some knowledge about yourself which you, by yourself, have been unable to obtain”

Just as, when we touch a live wire, the electric force infuses itself into our body, when we deeply meditate on God the power of the whole universe seeks entry into our personality.

"A true unity of heart is the real remedy for the diseases of separatism, hatred, hostility and a great deal of misunderstanding among individuals."

“True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.”

Both the forces of good and evil will keep the universe alive for us, until we awake from our dreams and give up this building of mud pies.

Why worry yourself about the world and what happens to it after Self-realization? First realize the Self.

Whoever perform devotional exercises with the belief that there is but one God, is bound to attain Him, no matter in what aspect, name or manner He is worshipped.

What is the significance of Guru Poornima? Guru is one who illumines the path to divinity. Poornima stands for the cool full moonlight. Full moon stands for a mind with total illumination and purity. Even if there is a trace of blemish in the mind, it will lead to darkness. It cannot give you total bliss.

Spirituality is not a part-time affair; neither is life. Spirituality is the science of right living.

"The mind can never be satisfied. It always wants more."

The best way to get your mind off yourself is to give. Give what you would like to receive, but don't expect anything in return. Whatever you expect only shapes your future disappointment.

In Gita, Lord Krishna said : (Chapter-4.Slokam-24. ) The whole universe is filled with just One Thing, One Spirit and everybody is made up of that One Spirit.

When our motives and intentions are noble, all our actions become brilliant and good. When the depth is without mud, the surface should reflect clearly the brilliant beauty of the heavens above!

“You should thank the one who draws attention to something in you,rather than being offended. Actually that person is doing you a great favour and service by giving you some knowledge about yourself which you, by yourself, have been unable to obtain”

    "He who knows, knows not; he who knows not, knows." This is a statement in the Upanishad, meaning that one who has realised the Truth has no personality-consciousness, and one who has it knows not the Truth.

Don’t be idle and refuse to exert. If gross intellect cannot grasp the deep significance of Vedanta, don’t reject the great religion of Truth and cry that there is nothing in it.

There is One unchanging indivisible Reality which, though unmanifest, reveals Itself in infinite multiplicity and diversity.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

he nature of bondage is merely the rising, ruinous thought `I am different from the reality'. Since one surely cannot remain separate from the reality, reject that thought whenever it rises.

Discrimination between the Real and the unreal. One should always discriminate to the effect that God alone is real and the world unreal. And one should pray with sincere longing.
