Try to make an evaluation of what you have been throughout the year that has gone by. Have you grasped each day and made a gainful step upward and Godward towards your Destiny? Have you converted experiences that you encounter into things of increased wisdom and greater inner strength? And in the light of this evaluation, have you been better equipped to move towards this great new wondrous gift of God—one more year of 365 virgin days? Each day is filled with twenty-four golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes—precious, invaluable, beyond compare. They are yours to be utilised and filled with divinity, love, compassion, wisdom, spiritual aspiration, sincere sadhana. You can do all these things and more to enrich yourself.

Let the New Year lift you up higher on the scale of spiritual evolution. Let it be a year to prove that God’s gift to you has not been in vain. Let it be a year to prove yourself worthy of this great gift of human status. God speed you towards this onward ascent, towards that pinnacle point of God-experience, of Satchidananda Consciousness, of Illumination and Enlightenment. This is my sincere prayer at the feet of Almighty, and at the feet of beloved and worshipful Guru Maharaj, who has brought into us this great awareness that we are inherently Divine.

You are related to the Cosmic Divinity. You have come here to attain that Divinity. May we move forward with a new strength, a new spirit and a new determination, focussing entirely upon the Goal and the Goal alone, making our entire life a total integrated movement towards the supreme consummation! May we progress towards the Goal each hour, minute and second to unfold and express our Divinity! May divinity be our keynote! Let us try to express and manifest this divinity every moment. May all the powers at our command be directed towards this one ideal of making our inner truth, our essential nature, our true identity! Live in such a way that you may emerge out as a shining, radiantly divine, perfect and liberated soul.

 ======================================================================= ======================================================================== Tuesday, December 21, 2021. 6:00. AM. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MIND : ======================================================================= ===================================================================== 1.The prime characteristic of the mind is externalization.  Bharathiya Maharishis found that the flow of the mind was outward and not centred inward. This is the law of life: everything spreads outward from its center. But there is a force which is trying to draw everything back towards their source and center. When the externalizing force is overcome, man is able to release that re-integrating force, and in the way finds his Center. When this is done, his search is over. Life is mastered. 2.The second characteristic of the mind is constancy of activity. Never for a single moment is the mind still. 3.The third characteristic is...

Raga, Dvesha, Jealousy, passion, and greed are everywhere. You will find the same earth, the same sky, the same air, and the same water. And you carry with you the same mind. Imagination and change of place have deceived not a few. O man! Be contented. Live where you may, but discipline the mind and the senses. Meditate on the Inner Self, the Antaratman, ceaselessly. Here you will find the everlasting peace.

 ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Sunday, May 22, 2022. 20:30. An Introduction to Sadhana : (Spoken during the Sadhana Week held at Sivanandanagar in the year 1965.) ====================================================================== The Sadhana Saptaha or the Sadhana-week is a period in which we are supposed to recall to our mind the principles for which we live on earth and the way in which we have to conduct ourselves in life. This sadhana is not a programme for mere seven days but, as all of you are aware, it is the programme for human life as a whole. Sadhana is not to be segregated to a part of one's life. One is expected to be good always. The highest goodness is to aspire for Godliness. Spiritual sadhana is not one aspect of life but is the essence of life itself, because we cannot be something in one part of our being and some other in another part, just as we ca...
