Gurudev Uvacha

22/12/2018. "If you want to be a yogi, you must be free, and place yourself in circumstances where you are alone and free from all anxiety. One who desires a comfortable and nice life and at the same time wants to realize the Self is like the fool who, wanting to cross the river, caught hold of a crocodile, mistaking it for a log of wood."

22/12/2018 "Difference between Knowledge and Wisdom ( Jnanam and Vijnanam)" : We live in a world rife with information. Information without authority which we carry is "knowledge". But that which is authenticated by the scriptures is wisdom " Vijnanam" . People who carry information or disseminate it without real wisdom are pitied by the wise. Bhagavad Gita advises you that true knowledge comes from Guru. Anything around you, including your life experiences that teach you, should be considered a Guru. Bhagavatham speaks of 24 gurus. We have a golden opportunity to study Katopanishad that motivated Swami Vivekananda to spread unquestionable wisdom to the world. Katopanishad cautions you against our own reluctance to change which would degrade us and finally cause rejection. Knowledge is a burden but wisdom is strength. Here to walk the path of wisdom let us learn so we can flow like Ganga in grace and happiness.........Vidwan Sarvathra poojanthe...

22/12/2018. "Learn to walk forward. To climb up we must at each step leave behind the lower steps of the stair-case. You will have to shed the childishness to gain the glory of *youth; again this is to be renounced to gain the reverence of age! Where is the glory for a youth who is yet childish? Can there be respect and salutations to an old crone who still looks out for an admirer!! Renunciation is the only way to *Perfection. Even a little renunciation is rewarded by immense blessings. *Renounce!! Image may contain : 1 person, sunglasses, beard and close-up"

22/12/2018. "Yoga is a process of rejoicing. It is not a suffering. It is a movement through happiness. From one state of joy, we move to another state of joy. Every adversity should stimulate more and more strength in us, enough to be able to overcome onslaughts of such types again. Every fall should propel us to a higher aspiration, a longing which should never be dampened, threatened or vanquished at any time."

22/12/2018 "Countless may the books you have read; of what avail are they? Many may be your charitable acts, building of rest houses; of what avail are they? Far are you from God, if there be no faith and devotion in your heart. Be firm in faith and strong in determination. Faith is simply prayer. Pray and wait. Wait and watch. Watch and pray. Application of faith and perseverance make the impossible, possible."
