Gurudev Uvacha

24/04/2019. "Live with understanding and wisdom. Understand the meaning and purpose of life. Understand your real nature and why you are here. Here on earth you are but a passing traveller. Your Real Abode is that realm from whence you came. Here all things are temporary. All things pass. Therefore seek the eternal. Your Real Nature is not earthly. It is spiritual and deathless. To realise your Reality, your eternal identity is the purpose of life. While you strive diligently for this inner Experience cultivate Ideal Relationship with this world around you. To all beings relate yourself with nobility, sympathy, kindness, love, selflessness and the desire to serve all. Serve humanity and seek Divinity. Compassion to all is the key to blessedness. Humility is the highest virtue. Truthfulness is the greatest treasure. Self-control is the supreme wealth to possess. Egoism is the worst blemish." ***

24/04/2019. "Develop virtues like generosity, forgiveness and love. Mere Yogic Kriyas alone will not help you much. Do self-analysis daily and eradicate your faults and evil, slavish habits. Rectify your defects such as selfishness, pride, jealousy and hatred. You must cultivate a compassionate and loving heart first. At all times you must share what you have with others and practice selfless service. Then only will you get purity of heart." ***

24/04/2019 "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. ***

23/04/2019 Vedanta roars declaring its lived experiences : " Seek Oh! Man what you want where it can be had. 'Infinite peace and Eternal joy'is thy very essential nature. Adjust your very inward 'life' and tickle out of it the music of perfection which you are trying to knock out of the rocky earth!!" ***

20/02/2019 Brahman is beyond mind and speech, beyond concentration and meditation, beyond the knower, the known and knowledge, beyond even the conception of the real and unreal. In short, It is beyond all relativity. Right discrimination is of two kinds — analytical and synthetical. The first leads one from the phenomena to the Absolute Brahman, while by the second one knows how the Absolute Brahman appears as the universe. ***

20/02/2019 A Guru is extremely essential in the spiritual path. You must daily worship your Guru. You must invoke His blessings commencing your daily Sadhana or any important function. Then all your efforts will be crowned with success. There is no friend like Guru. Difficult is the attainment of Self-realisation, without the grace of Guru. Remember: Without reverence and obedience to Guru or the preceptor and without his grace, the aspirant cannot have success in the practice of Yoga. A saint is God incarnate. A saint is one who identifies his soul with the Universal Soul. A saint sees the whole world as the projection of his own soul. A sage is sees unity in diversity. He becomes one with the whole world. The actions done by a saint are like the roasted grains which cannot sprout in the best of soil. A saint is free from the past Karmas and the Present Karmas. A saint is careless of his physical state. He takes no thought of his body. Service of the saints is the door which l...

20/02/2019 The existence of what is called the knower is the beginning of all consistent thinking - rationally, scientifically or philosophically. There would be no science, no philosophy, nothing meaningful or significant in the world, if the very existence of the knower is doubtful. Charity of things is of less consequence than possession of charitable feelings, and resorting to charitable speech, charitable demeanour, and charitable actions through a general charitable temperament. This is, in short, what is called self-sacrifice, for it involves parting with some part of the delights of the ego. ***
