Gurudev Uvacha

======================================================================== ======================================================================= 04/12/2019. 'I am that I am' ====================================================================== “Your duty is to be and not to be this or that. 'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up in the words 'Be still'. What does stillness mean? It means destroy yourself. Because any form or shape is the cause for trouble. Give up the notion that 'I am so and so'. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that?” ***

======================================================================= ======================================================================== 04/12/2019. Devotion ======================================================================= "Devotion is a means as well as its true end when it grows into a full treasure. When devotion becomes a treasure, you will need nothing more for inner fullness or affluence. As devotion grows, it will begin to free you of all desire, hatred and fear. It will relieve poverty, either by making you amply resourceful or by taking away from you the very feeling of poverty. Devotion also will remove your weakness, generating untold strength and confidence." ***

======================================================================== ======================================================================== 04/12/2019.  Right Thinking ======================================================================== “When a person works with inspiration, he never gets tired or exhausted. When man works for himself, there is only the perspiration of labour without joy. When he works for a noble goal, he is inspired. When working for a noble goal, man derives tremendous strength from his chosen altar of dedication.” ***

======================================================================== ======================================================================== 03/12/2019. “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” ***

======================================================================== ======================================================================= 03/12/2019. "Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization." ***

======================================================================== ======================================================================== 03/12/2019. "When you practice sadhana consciously and consistently the power of your mind start expanding slowly. When this expansion happens even the stars become conducive to the practice.When Arjuna approached the war field his mind was full of negative thoughts. So he saw that the stars are not favourable for his victory.But after listening to Bhagawath Geetha his mind became positive and he realised that the stars are actually supportive. Concentrate on practice,the stars ,the nature and Rishis will bless you for your progress." ***

======================================================================== 02/12/2019. "History is full of instances, wherein, victory would have been to the vanquished, if only they had battled a little longer! We often fail for lack of perseverance in our efforts. We leave our work half done in our impatience. Every job demands its quota of efforts. Never give up too soon." ***

====================================================================== 02/12/2019. "Eating, drinking, sleeping! A little laughter! Much weeping! Is that all ? Do not die here like a worm. Wake up! Attain Immortal Bliss." - Swami Sivananda ***

======================================================================== ======================================================================== 02/12/2019. "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." ***
