Gurudev Uvacha

26/11/2017 Materialism has its due place in the evolution and progress of human society. But when it dominates over the minds of men it generates danger. When it is divorced from ethical and spiritual foundation, it has become a source of danger. Man’s true welfare is basically spiritual; and material and social welfare is only a means to the end. In the material world you grow by acquisition; in the spiritual realm you grow by renunciation. The more you lose materially, the more you gain spiritually.

26/11/2017 Steadily progress on towards the temple of "perfection" in yourself. There make a karpuraradhana (arati with camphor) of your own individuality sense. Merge in "Truth" and come out only to express Its glory and Its dynamic "divinity."

26/11/2017 People are not ruled by power but their hearts are filled with love to get their love and respect in return. And that happens by keeping the other ahead of you in interactions not only on a physical level but also on a thought level .

13/11/2017 " 'Yogapatta' – the band that is tied around the knees of Ayyappa Swami is the symbol of concentration. It reminds that one has to keep the mind undisturbed to enjoy the inner freedom, the divinity within."

13/11/2017 "This is the way the mind acts. It distracts you from your true conscious Center and scatters you amidst the externals."

13/11/2017   "It may be that we try to remember God when we are comfortably placed. But the test as to whether He has really entered our hearts is whether we remember Him in sickness, suffering, opposition and times of temptation."

13/11/2017 " 'The ‘golden deer’ will flash through your mind – the gorgeous emotions and flashy sensuous thoughts. Don’t run after them – never. Turn at such moments to the face of Rama next to you. May His serene, divine, calm and blissful smile satisfy you always."
