Achievement:
This vast creation is designed in such a way that MAN is not only the master but also the servants to the rest of all. Man has four basic aims to achieve: service (dharma), material prosperity (aartha), copulation (kama) and liberation (moksha).
Many people have focused only on two of them; material gain and copulation. But they don't know that material gain is necessary just to meet the daily necessities. Copulation has become a mere lust. It should be a means of maintaining your dynasty and in the larger sense to continue the Godly creation. The Supreme goal should be the liberation, which is remote for the present-day mankind, who are running after only two goals.
Love ; the capital of good Qualities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love is an expression of the supreme soul. The life of a human being can be compared with a river. The river tells us the story of its origin, the travel it has to make and the final destination it has to reach and reaches. The river cannot stop flowing and the river that stops can never reach the ocean. So she tells us the story, the hardships she has to face before reaching the ocean. Likewise, the life of the human being too is like that of a river. The ocean represents the calmness and the depth. Love therefore is the capital of all the good qualities of life. It is the super specialty of the supreme soul. Because all good qualities are inherent in it and these qualities enable human beings attain perfection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We should not be afraid to hurt ourselves while benefiting others, because the path we tread is the way of the Saints, the way of the Masters.
We can be good in our spiritual practice but we still need to be skillful in handling matters in this world. Only when we are good in both aspects, can we have self-confidence and feel that we truly have the great power within.
When we gain self-respect, then no matter what level of spiritual practice we are in, we will feel contented, not lacking anything. We are very close to the essence of perfection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The thought has the immense power; the power always gives aspiration to put oneself in action, karma. So if the thoughts are linked into positive deeds the results to turn out good & vice versa. Thoughts like small seeds if implanted and taken care properly they grow True man densely like a free and give fruits. All wonderful & excellent things we see and find around the world is the outcomes of the super and positive results of positive thoughts. If someone enters a cave and just starts thinking, about death he is sure to die. But if some with creative thinking enters the cave and starts thinking creatively and positively, the thought wares will come out even snaffling the walls of the cave and start spreading all around officiating all. The strength and power of thoughts is very different to be explained in few words. Every human being has the potentiality and the quality of thought but inspires of such an immense strength people are suffering and life unhappy. Thus the secret and lie to success and happiness is within our possession use it or discard it its our choice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During hours of despair, faith can keep you vigilant. Faith on the road taken should be unshakable and unlimited. Faith is a matter of heart and not the matter of head. Normally, we are habituated to live by logics, reasons and calculations so questions do come to us at our endeavours.
Your attitude and moral standards of today are largely affected, shaped and controlled by the events of your past lives, particularly immediate past life. Limited by knowledge and capacity, beginners cannot catch sight of their merits and cultures of past lives. If you know the ways of past lives sadhana can become simpler and more straightforward. Is there any way to make the way more direct and fruitful?
Yes there is. To be assisted by the one who has travelled into the most wanted secrets; completed the journey and the one who has measured every inch between the crossroads and the final destination- He is GURU, a great being and a seer. Remember, he is not an ordinary being but is a great authority and to come across him/her is a rare opportunity. Once you are close to a true GURU, you can suppose that half of your work is done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The attainment of perfection depends upon the role play:
There are two aspects of spiritual progress. The first is the accomplishment of rules for the development of qualities. Another is performing the duties and discharging the liabilities according to the duty and capability. Because it is a well-known fact that no one will grant anything valuable important assignments that are not qualified.
Perhaps the first step of spiritual progress is self-perfection and the discharging of the duty in a most responsible manner. Because only these candidates are rewarded who succeed in the Competition. Even the gold kept in fire to test and prove the authenticity. Responsible positions are occupied and granted to those who can prove their capability.
The love and affection of the Almighty is equal to all the living creatures including the humans. But attainment of success and progress depends upon one's performance. We see in our society that some people serve as the boss and other as a servant. We see many people always advancing where as many others lagging behind. Although it may be seen as a social discrimination but in fact it is not. Candidates who succeed to become and secure good position in exams are rewarded and even secure scholarships.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Try our best to pray for this world, for ourselves, to protect ourselves, our morality, purity and the eternal power within ourselves. This is the only way that can save ourselves.
All the suffering will end the moment we know our true selves. Even though we sometimes still feel affected by the suffering of other people, we ourselves do not feel such a deep suffering like before enlightenment.
We must always be open and accepting, then we will find our life is terrific, is completely in harmony and beautiful, and is a blessing everyday, twenty-four hours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's easier to forgive than to punish. It's easier because you don't have to think about it any more, and that person is happy and doesn't give you any more pressure. We should not be afraid to hurt ourselves while benefiting others, because the path we tread is the way of the Saints, the way of the Masters. We can be good in our spiritual practice but we still need to be skillful in handling matters in this world. Only when we are good in both aspects, can we have self-confidence and feel that we truly have the great power within.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we gain self-respect, then no matter what level of spiritual practice we are in, we will feel contented, not lacking anything. We are very close to the essence of perfection. Whenever the situation needs our love, we have to show it. And we have to show our actions, speech and thoughts always in loving kindness. That's the best for our spiritual growth and best for our fellow beings. When you observe any goodness in yourself, develop it. When you observe any bad points in yourself, rectify them. Look at the positive aspects. It is not enough to just rely on meditation alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To cheerful people, everything is funny and all food is delicious. Originally, a joyful heart is a fruit of practice. Only true wisdom is what we can rely on most, not worldly position or wealth, not worldly beauty or talent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actions, speeches and thoughts are different forms of the same element. Therefore, our thoughts are equivalent to our actions. This is why we must watch carefully our actions, speech and thoughts. Be frank with yourself. Be careful, otherwise you will be cheated day after day. It is like the patients who don't know, and refuse to believe that they are ill. We are free to express our inner feelings, our appreciation, and move. As long as we move with the rhythm of the universe and know God all the time, everything we do is perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do everything for your family, your society, for yourselves. Don't wait for people to make your life better and brighter. Make your life yourself. You can do anything. We must always be open and accepting, then we will find our life is terrific, is completely in harmony and beautiful, and is a blessing everyday, twenty-four hours Everything has been created by ourselves. Everything we seek now or later is what we want, what we created. To live a happy life, we have to create a happy atmosphere for ourselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't be defeated by obstacles and ordeals. Perhaps, we don't know how to react today, so we are frightened and defeated; try again tomorrow. We shall overcome someday. When things are going smoothly and easily, be particularly concentrated; don't take it for granted and lose your humility and penitence. Otherwise, you will become sluggish and slow down, and will not progress further.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be meticulous in your work; do not let other thoughts or other matters disturb you. Do your work sincerely for the sake of accomplishing it perfectly and of making others happy rather than yourself. Then you will not make mistakes, and you can do your work quickly and perfectly. This is the secret. Whatever we do, we do for others. We don't think so much about ourselves. What we can do for others, we do promptly, without hesitation. That's a saintly quality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We ought to be responsible for ourselves. Don't think that we can do whatever we want, just because Guru or other people do not see us. We have to train ourselves in the spirit of honesty, until we act in the same way whether we are observed by others or not. You should work as if you are the only one who knows that you are working, and not even God knows. That is perfect work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's important for us to have virtuous friends, those who are kind and good, and who can talk with us about something good everyday, persuading us to go in the right direction. Then we'll walk on the right path and become better and better. Our good qualities will emerge and grow, and become more apparent. We'll know better which direction is the right one. We should think more positively, optimistically, and courageously, and then it will become a habit, for everything is created by the mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should help the whole world even though we may not able to help much. It is quite all right, we have already collected some experiences. God Almighty needs us at any place, then that place is just fine. We should feel contented at that place. You have to reprogram your thoughts, reform your action. Otherwise even if you have wisdom, Guru's blessings and the strength to make it be successful, you will still be timid and worry, and think that you cannot do it because of your old habits. Actually, there is no such thing as fate. It's just a matter of having not done enough spiritual practice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why do I sometimes push you to work so hurry, so quickly? It's because in this way you cannot use your brain to think, but rather do your work directly with the wisdom from within. Then you work faster. When you begin to think, to ask others, to talk, to chat, to discuss, that's when you go wrong. We should strive for perfection in whatever we do, so that we don't give others any reason to complain or worry Think about it! Make a nobler time, a pure life, so that you know you're truly noble. That's all. You really came from a noble heritage, from Heaven. That should be your self-satisfaction, and no one else's. You don't need praise and blame because only we know what we are worth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You don't have to earn more money; you just have to know how to live your life, because you have only one life, this life. Whether I speak the truth or not, whether you have Heaven or not, or you have reincarnation or not, this life is all you know. If you don't manage well, you cannot live freely and you cannot feel happy about it. You have to do what you really want, and what is good for you. We spiritual practitioners should speak the truth. Why? It is because we are seeking the Truth. Speaking words that are not true only brings harm to us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One has to live for a day with his confidence and happiness. One must try this today for better tomorrow. What will happen tomorrow is the matter of next day. Being new and old are just your feeling. Happiness and sarrow is your feeling that's why you have to spend your one day happiness, this is the art of living.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can be good in our spiritual practice but we still need to be skillful in handling matters in this world. Only when we are good in both aspects, can we have self-confidence and feel that we truly have the great power within. If, after having embarked on spiritual practice, we still expect words of praise, then we are finished. It would be impossible for us to realize the superior level of total freedom and calmness, where there is neither good nor bad, where one is not flattered when praised, or hurt when defamed. To attain that level, we have to cultivate spiritually and we need an Enlightened Master to edify our internal self.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within the bad there exist the good. Just like roses have thorns, we can't always look at the thorns, we must gaze at the rose. Everyday is a miracle to us, and we're happier and more loving everyday. That is the best gift from God. God only arranges situations that will benefit us. Sometimes, we blame God for doing something wrong, but the fact is it's we who are ignorant of the truth. We do not know the correctness of God. We see only the outside and not the inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should live each day as if it were the last day of our lives. Accomplish all you have to do. Don't defer until tomorrow anything that you can do today. True repentance is not just knowing our mistakes, nor is it saying that we won't make the same mistake again. It is correcting what we do, doing it well, and then doing it better. Say sorry only once, and get better all the time. That's the best way to apologize.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we cannot get over our pride, our stubbornness and our narrow thinking, we cannot get beyond where we are. It is up to us to check ourselves, to remind ourselves what to do. That is the way it is. That's why the Way is completely ours, very individual, very easy, but also very difficult, because we cannot go over ourselves, we cannot go beyond what we think. That's the trouble. So try to be careful on this point, and lift yourself upward. All of our achievements, all of our success must come from inside first, from our strong mentality, strong personality, and strong will. If we want to make it better, we want to improve our life or our situation, we must have the will to wish, and with a hard-working spirit and sacrificing attitude, we can get what we want and appreciate it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should not fear anything in this world; we need only fear that our minds are not stable and our wisdom is not developed enough, and therefore we do not understand the true meaning behind those things. The more we are elevated, the more we see that cleanliness is necessary. It is the way of life. It's not that someone is cleaner than the other, or someone loves more cleanliness. It is the inner expression of beauty, virtue and Truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we meditate we should be sincere, so sincere that it is as if we are meditating for the last time, or as if we are to die the next day, or in five minutes. If we have this attitude in our heart when meditating we will have achievement. Meditating doesn't mean that you sit there long. You have to let your whole being enter into the method, into the meditation every day, more and more. The more, the better for you, and you'll find everything is ok.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you smile, your whole being smiles too, and your level of consciousness automatically rises up to some extent as well. So, smile a lot. Smile during times of happiness and sorrow. Cry when you must, but also smile when you cry. Let the tears fall but then smile in your heart. Try to smile whenever you can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Religion
The word religion in short means the opinion of the people. Because opinions in fact are those fundamental ideologies which guides the people and the society towards involving oneself into better understanding and feelings. Religion in fact contains very useful, benevolent and progressive ways and means that help and guide the people towards the welfare of all. There are people who think religion as part and personal liability in fulfilling the duties sincerely and honestly. Such people do not care for their rights but focus themselves more towards duty and act in a selfless manner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moment we make the decision of doing good or bad, or to avoid doing bad or good, that is a very important moment. If at that moment, we decide to do the good deed, no matter how difficult the test is, we will remain absolutely fixed towards the right direction. If we make the correct decision like that often, we will become stronger and go towards the right direction every day. Also, we will get rid of more and more of our bad habits and become a better person. If when facing the moment of decision, we do not have the will to go towards the right direction, we will go astray. If this happens often, we will become weaker and weaker, and do more and more bad things, strengthening the bad habits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Salute to Miracle :
In recent times there has been a massive trend towards the appreciation for miracle. But the craze for miracle is not found focused in upbringing and grooming in depth knowledge and wisdom. Although some miracle have been found in the physical world, no change and development have been found in the mind and mentality of the humans with no change in the moral character. Although the person involved in the miracle has shown his power of transforming iron into gold and availed many physical amenities, the predominance of negativity in one's thinking, wisdom, in deeds and in words do exist. Is it really worthy to own and enrich oneself from such miracle? What is the truth, skill has to be understood by many. Instead of showing the miracles and the people, had people been able to show and change the thoughts, knowledge and wisdom of the people into purity, and beget love all around, the truth of the miracle world have been accepted by the world. The only worthy wealth in the World is but the profound knowledge, kind words and benevolent works but not the physical properties. Peace and utmost happiness can be achieved only through the attainment of these immortal things. There are many people very rich but poor in mentality, because peace and happiness cannot be attained by means of wealth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People who pursue spiritual practice and those who don't are using the same resources. We use the mind, the body, and our intelligence. However, spiritual practice brings us happiness, and brings peace to the world and stability to our families. Using the same mind, we could destroy the world, ruin the Earth, or endanger all of humankind. Therefore, nothing is really good or bad in this world or universe. Things are bad when we use them in the wrong way, and they are good when we use them in the right way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An inferiority complex is very harmful to you and is the greatest obstacle. You must have confidence! Release yourself from errors, put an end to your preconceived ideas, and set yourself free from the jail of inferiority. Be frank with yourself. Be careful, otherwise you will be cheated day after day. It is like the patients who don't know, and refuse to believe that they are ill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should do everything out of a humble mind, not out of any worldly mind for the sake of fame and wealth under any circumstances. To do any work is only to help ourselves, as well as to help others in their practice and to find their highest ideal. We should not care about how many merits we have acquired or who has done the most. If we still like to count our merits, we will be blocked there. We will become arrogant, and that is very difficult to clean up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should not let any situation obstruct our work or our decisions. Thus, in this world we can live meaningfully in a very short period of time and create many plans. Heaven is here and now. Anywhere you go, make it heaven. If you're happy, it's heaven. If you're not happy, even if the situation around you is very merry, very boisterous, you will still feel miserable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If and when we feel that our life is not going undesirable affinities in the past; therefore, we have to strive hard. If we have good affinities, we should also understand that we have done something good in the past; therefore, we must cherish them. We must strive persistently until our mind is entirely stable, absolutely uncaring about anything, not attached to any situation, and until nothing in this world can bind us. Then it is truly good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you work you are helping yourself, not only the public. When you work not for reward, but only from love, then everything will go very smoothly. We need not worry that this work will bring benefits to us or to someone else. We only do it because things need to be done at that moment. In this way, we will feel that out spiritual life is improving day by day. We will have more endurance; the more we work, and the more we offer, the faster we will improve. We don't need praise from anyone. We know this ourselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wisdom is not wisdom if it is not useful. We should apply the wisdom we have acquired through practice to our daily lives, so as to help improve ourselves and help purify the atmosphere of the world, thus upgrading its civilization. Before you misunderstand someone, or are ready to debate about something, you should consider whether you have understood correctly what the other person really meant, of whether what you are about to do is what the Master would want you to do. Constantly reflect on your inner Self in order to get in touch with your inner wisdom. Your wisdom will not misguide you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing is truly difficult. It depends on whether we want to change ourselves, to recognize honestly which are the good qualities in us and which are deceiving and harmful to us. We have to be honest with ourselves because no one else can tell us. Even though we know, if we are too stubborn of too lazy to change, of too concerned about our image to admit and correct the fault, then it will bring a lot of trouble.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greed
The fish loses its life due to the greed for a piece of food in the hook. Similarly birds fall prey to the food grains trapped into the nest. Men and women too forget many things for the sake of amazing more and more wealth. The real values of the life are forgotten for the sake of money. But life is not for the sake of money alone, man is for humanity and humanity is for real benevolence and real sacrifice. The joy of sacrifice is different which has to be experienced not explained.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Present Human Life
The present human life is exceptionally one of the best which should be used to the best. Once this life is gone, its gone forever. But the worse thing is that very few have been found to spend the successful way. The one who succeeds to spend in a better way, succeeds to advance in his determination, towards the destination and finally a worthy life that one has lived. Therefore the real devotee (sadhak) is he who is always involved in his mission of carrying out best practices.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love ; the Capital of Good Qualities :
Love is an expression of the supreme soul. The life of a human being can be compared with a river. The river tells us the story of its origin, the travel it has to make and the final destination it has to reach and reaches. The river cannot stop flowing and the river that stops can never reach the ocean. So she tells us the story, the hardships she has to face before reaching the ocean. Likewise, the life of the human being too is like that of a river. The ocean represents the calmness and the depth. Love therefore is the capital of all the good qualities of life. It is the super specialty of the supreme soul. Because all good qualities are inherent in it and these qualities enable human beings attain perfection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Self-devotion (Atma Sadhana)
The authority of the human being like that of the animals & plants in the forest is in disorder. The god men therefore painstakingly has undertaken the task of making the life organised, more polished and refined through a regular progress which is called culture. Humanity and human life becomes glorious when they succeed in maintaining and observing the rules of the culture. Culture alone can not develop without the effort of human beings and its existence becomes impossible unless it is accepted and honored. The present day developed world, very organized societies and many appreciable personalities are but the real achievements made through cultural sadhana. Human personality, for example, in itself is a small world. There are innumerable things in his life, inside him and outside him, that the worse kind of an aspect of life can become a super soul, a divine one. But the "divinity" that is inside the human being is in a dormant state. This divinity needs to be awakened, and bring into us. There is a science - the science of using the supreme divinity, which can bring the best results. Self-devotion is thus a means to reach that state of culturally from which point one can observe, experience and sees the unlimited powers. Atma-Sadhana is one of the best means of reaching to the highest status of culture. But one of the pre-requisites of this process is that the oneself that is self has to be indulged in the practice. Nothing can be achieved without the personal endeavor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you truly believe in your goodness, in what you are doing, you will influence other people. So one person makes a lot of difference. But if you don't believe they will influence you. They'll try to make a strong person out of your personality. We don't learn so that other people will know. We learn so that we know and that we can bless the world silently through our inner glory and inner love. To be a noble being is the only choice; to walk forward, it doesn't matter how difficult; to fly upward, it doesn't matter how far, or how high. We just have to try again and again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Basis of Service:
The external life feature of a human being, an individual greatly depends upon his bodily construction, mental disposition and his practice. People who always think of negative things and wish bad for others, the negative aspects of life becomes an integral part. Their personal life itself becomes troublesome and thus suppressed by complexities. In fact this is a psychological truth. Thus divine service to the humanity the more it is selfless, and driven by the altitude of sacrifice, it brings in good consequences. But if the motive of service is quite showy, then the person instead of earning the solemn divinity just becomes a fraud, and a selfish activity to cheat others. Service to humanity and cheating are not the same. The type of service thus becomes a profession, a type of livelihood, and a technique to gain cheap-popularity and appreciation. The nature of the service should be so selfless that you can do something good for the others, a soft and selfless linking of the mind that can enrich love and affection among the people. Service is one of the best means of developing sub-ordinate feelings among the people. Solve the problem of others as if it's your own, always be prepared to serve, these are indeed essential to improve the self within us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duttatreya - The great teacher:
The great Duttatreya approached to many teachers for quenching this inquisitiveness concerning the topic of self-realization. But he was not satisfied. Finally, he went to Prajapati for solution. Prajapati suggested him that instead of asking others, "try to find out the surroundings around you, read yourself, try to understand yourself, then draw conclusions based on the real and personal experiences you have made." Duttatreya made this dictum the main formula. The first lesson he learnt is from the spider's web, in which the spider itself falls victim, the web becomes a death trap for other insects, the food for the spiders in totality Duttatreya found is a great attraction, an attachment and life a trap. Thus, the man by the time when he realizes and comes to the final realization, he then detaches himself from all attachments. Likewise Duttatreya studied the daily activities of many creatures and based on the conclusions derived from such lessons he used to solve the problems. To mention in number some twenty-four important events made him achieve the perfection in the task of self-realization. Exactly, the same techniques too apply for others. Because the knowledge that has been gained based on the true experiences help a lot in reaching and drawing the conclusions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having arguments or fighting with people is not considered to be courageous. Whereas, when we are filled with a cheerful outlook and have positive love within us, it beats the negative forces.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restraint (Self discipline)
There was a hermitage in a village. The villagers usually gathered during the evening to talk and listen about religion. Very often and every evening during the time of evening prayer, two notorious boys used to join the gathering and start disturbing the saint asking nasty questions. They used to ask irritating questions. But the saint paid no attention to what they used to do and spent his time praying and worshipping. The notorious boys tried for many days to make the saint angry but were of no use. One day, they approached the saint politely and asked why he was not angry. The saint merrily replied that "if I get bad tempered at what you boys do, then how can it be possible for me to help others come to the right track who are lost and imbalance."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Praying
Praying in fact is the echoing of confidence. For example, the wheels of a chariot always take the whole load of the chariot and as it starts proceeding a head, it leaves the landmarks. Similarly, the prayers and its rays spread and proceed towards the targets and it brings forth the desired aims come to reality. The more confident one becomes and his confidence backed by truth, the results from it become more result oriented and powerful. Prayer and praying therefore is a spiritual hunger. For example, the food items help us to satiate our hunger and the food gives energy to the body. Similarly, praying and the process of deep meditation quench the spiritual need of the soul, the Atman. Satsanga, meditation and praying in fact is the road to approach, the Paramatman.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only service to others is of eternal worth and importance. That is the one thing worth doing. He who does it leads a worth-while life. Susccessfully, he crossess the ocean of life carrying with him many more who needed help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Search for Truth:
Two fast friends mutually agreed to go in search of a spiritual teacher. Finally, they approached a saint and requested him to tell them where truth can be found. The saint stayed quiet as if he has not heard anything. Having no response from the hermit one began to think that the sage himself seems to be deaf person, of he is arrogant. Another thought that, definitely we must have committed some mistake, of we approached the wrong way, or did we present ourselves most impatiently of impolitely? Finally both of them left the place. The one who thought that the saint is an arrogant fellow, he remained the same, with no change in his behaviors. But the one who apologized his mistake changed him, became more and more polite and soft-spoken. This man, after many years again visited the hermit and requested him that at the time when we asked the question you did not answer. As you remained silent, I started thinking about myself, about my impoliteness, the manner we asked. I realized my weakness, and definitely I did not possess the character. Thus since that day I earnestly tried to change myself by your grace. I am revisiting this place to pay my gratitude for all the kindness that you have shown during the time.

There are two aspects of spiritual progress. The first is the accomplishment of roles for the development of qualities. Another is performing the duties and discharging the liabilities according to the duty and capability. Because it is a well known fact that no one will grant anything valuable important assignments who are not qualified.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we change, the situation changes. If we have within us, peace within us, then everywhere is heaven, everywhere is peace. Heaven is here and now. Anywhere you go, make it heaven. If you're happy, it's heaven. If you're not happy, even if the situation around you is very merry, very boisterous, you will still feel miserable.

We see many people always advancing where as many others lagging behind. Although it may be seen as a social discrimination but in fact it is not.

A Lesson from the Pigeon
The bird pigeon had the least idea of building the nest. It used to collect the dry twigs of deformed shape & sizes and used them to build the nest. But unfortunately because of the faulty construction, the nest used to fall along with the eggs and its youngster even due to wind. Thus the pigeon requested others bird to teach them the skill of making strong & durable nest. At the request of the pigeon, other birds tried to teach them the art of making the nest. But the pigeon did not pay any attention in learning the skill. It just passed the remark well, its this much, I can do it. The birds were dissatisfied with the pigeon. The conclusion of the story is that the pigeon never learnt to build nests due to its negligence in learning the skill.

Dhyan Yoga
(For Better Health, and freedom from Mental Tension)

Dhyan of what is popularly known as Meditation in English, is the only best means which can generate internal energy. Searching other ways apart from Dhyan is rather an impossible activity. Therefore anyone aspiring for internal strength, self-confidence must be able to develop the power of Meditation. Once this quality is developed then an individual really succeeds to understand the real meaning and purpose to understand the real meaning and purpose of the present life. He then realizes the importance of the inner strength and then proceeds in the development of consciousness.

Me and my absolute Duty
It is the prime responsibility of every human being to understand "who am I" and "what is my duty". Me and my name, is it only linked with my body, the senses, of the mind of it is drastically a different phenomenon. This is very essential to understand whether I am just the person with my present name of the name given to me. Because the name could be anything, Tom or Harry or Gopal. In fact this present name given to me has nothing link with neither my past nor when I was inside the womb. My Present name is just an imaginary name, which is an illusion.
The very conscious person who understands this secret that I am not the person with the name is neither happy nor unhappy with whatever the remarks of appreciations. But the person who is boastful of the name and takes pride in his deeds is in the confusion and chaos.
The physical outlook, the body is not I because the body is static where as ' I ', me is flexible and very much conscious. The body grows destroyes and decays but I am different from these features. The physical appearance changes from childhood to adulthood and then the old age but I am in the same state, unchanged and unaffected.
These and many things alike prove that I am not the body. The person who succeeds to understand this secret never minds the pleasures and displeasures nor respect or disrespect. He remains perfectly calm in whatever the situation. I am entirely a different one from the body, the senses because I shall never die even though my eyes goes blind, turn deaf, hands broken, legs broken, etc.
Likewise I am not the mind because the mind is inactive when we are in dormant state, although I am inside there. Because of the presence of me in that state I feel and experience that I did have a sound sleep tonight. I am quite conversant with my mind. I can understand many things including my promises, the alternatives there in, etc. The mind, which is so fickle and always travelling, brings in trouble during the time we are doing specific activities like eating, bathing, reading and writing.
To be continued...........

............ continued.
Similarly, I am not wisdom because it increases and diminishes but without any change in me. The sharpness in wisdom, in purity of impurity may cause either good of bad. I can understand all aspects of wisdom still I am not wisdom. Thus I am neither the name given to me nor my appearance, body, senses, mind, wisdom, etc. Who am I is but he well conversant and knower of everything, pure, sacred, well contented, a perfect source of pleasure and happiness. This in fact is my real image.
The present state of life is for the sake for eternal peace and happiness and get rid of all the sins, klesa (the causes of suffering). Therefore it is our duty to obtain peace and happiness. This sort of enjoyment is not possible in other transformations. A good practice of Vivek (conscience), Vairagya (non-attachment), Vichar (thoughtfulness), Sadachar (moral character), and Sadguna (inherent quality), definitely brings in Tatwagyan (knowledge of five elements) in one's personal life. But attaining all these qualities at this present age of kali (the Iron Age) is not that simple unless the Almighty is in our favour. Although he is the saviour and is kind to all living creatures, the Almighty too will not help anyone unless we dedicate at his feet. Similarly the essentials of kindness can be realised only when we become kind. Sacrificing everything into the feet of the Almighty enable us to understand the true secrets of kindness. We thus can attain real happiness.
At the stage when the God takes no under his protection, all our innocence vanishes. This state can better be illustrated with awakes us from the state of sleep.
Similarly when the innocence stilling is destroyed, then one will realize and recognize the Almighty God. The Sadhak then realizes that he is entirely different from his own physical appearance, his body, the senses, the mind, the wisdom etc. The kind favour of the God enables the man to get rid from all the evils and becomes purified.

Permanent and Everlasting Progress

Sound health, well-trained brains, attractive personality, plenty of wealth along with the favourable situation and opportunity is needed for materialistic progress. Exotic success depends upon the availability of the aforesaid means in their corresponding quantities.
But the aspects of self progress its value and the pleasure from it is in fact incomparable with the worldly pleasures. For the real success and achievement of this sort of development only two means are needed - first the emotional praying and second spiritual discipline, the inward way or Sadhana in daily life.
The most inevitable thing needed for this purpose is self-discipline with determined mind and utmost faith in the performance of the activities. Spiritual attainment along with the worldly progress and prosperity can be achieved through this method.
The real value of life and its success depends upon the prosperity of the spiritual aspect of the life; this aspect needs firm determination. The achievement of the worldly progress lasts so long it is gained. Once the stage is reached then gradually the thing of joy and inquisitiveness itself becomes perilous. Therefore the one who wants to make his life a worthy life, desires to achieve peace, and must always be alert and ready to focus oneself towards self-development. Praying and devotion are indeed the basic actives for reaping the benefits. Hari Om

If we cannot get over our pride, our stubbornness and our narrow thinking, we cannot get beyond where we are. It is up to us to check ourselves, to remind ourselves what to do. That is the way it is. That's why the Way is completely ours, very individual, very easy, but also very difficult, because we cannot go over ourselves, we cannot go beyond what we think. That's the trouble. So try to be careful on this point, and lift yourself upward. All of our achievements, all of our success must come from inside first, from our strong mentality, strong personality, and strong will. If we want to make it better, we want to improve our life or our situation, we must have the will to wish, and with a hard-working spirit and sacrificing attitude, we can get what we want and appreciate it. We should not fear anything in this world; we need only fear that our minds are not stable and our wisdom is not developed enough, and therefore we do not understand the true meaning behind those things. The more we are elevated, the more we see that cleanliness is necessary. It is the way of life. It's not that someone is cleaner than the other, or someone loves more cleanliness. It is the inner expression of beauty, virtue and Truth. Hari Om
Shreesadhak Satyam.

Welcome to Sadhak Pariwar.
Nothing is truly difficult. It depends on whether we want to change ourselves, to recognize honestly which are the good qualities in us and which are deceiving and harmful to us. We have to be honest with ourselves because no one else can tell us. Even though we know, if we are too stubborn of too lazy to change, of too concerned about our image to admit and correct the fault, then it will bring a lot of trouble. If you truly believe in your goodness, in what you are doing, you will influence other people. So one person makes a lot of difference. But if you don't believe they will influence you. They'll try to make a strong person out of your personality. We don't learn so that other people will know. We learn so that we know and that we can bless the world silently through our inner glory and inner love. Hari Om
Shreesadhak Satyam.

Welcome to Sadhak Pariwar.
Be frank with yourself. Be careful, otherwise you will be cheated day after day. It is like the patients who don't know, and refuse to believe that they are ill. We are free to express our inner feelings, our appreciation, and move. As long as we move with the rhythm of the universe and know God all the time, everything we do is perfect. Do everything for your family, your society, for yourselves. Don't wait for people to make your life better and brighter. Make your life yourself. You can do anything. We must always be open and accepting, then we will find our life is terrific, is completely in harmony and beautiful, and is a blessing everyday, twenty-four hours. Hari Om
Shreesadhak Satyam.

The more we are elevated, the more we see that cleanliness is necessary. It is the way of life. It's not that someone is cleaner than the other, or someone loves more cleanliness. It is the inner expression of beauty, virtue and Truth. When we meditate we should be sincere, so sincere that it is as if we are meditating for the last time, or as if we are to die the next day, or in five minutes. If we have this attitude in our heart when meditating we will have achievement. Meditating doesn't mean that you sit there long. You have to let your whole being enter into the method, into the meditation every day, more and more. The more, the better for you, and you'll find everything is ok. Hari Om Shreesadhak Satyam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If and when we feel that our life is not going undesirable affinities in the past; therefore, we have to strive hard. If we have good affinities, we should also understand that we have done something good in the past; therefore, we must cherish them. We must strive persistently until our mind is entirely stable, absolutely uncaring about anything, not attached to any situation, and until nothing in this world can bind us. Then it is truly good. When you work you are helping yourself, not only the public. When you work not for reward, but only from love, then everything will go very smoothly. We need not worry that this work will bring benefits to us or to someone else. We only do it because things need to be done at that moment. In this way, we will feel that out spiritual life is improving day by day. We will have more endurance; the more we work, and the more we offer, the faster we will improve. We don't need praise from anyone. We know this ourselves. Hari Om Shreesadhak Satyam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can never be wrong, if you listen to the natural responses of your inner real self. The more we practice spiritually, the better we should be able to understand others and treat them magnanimously. We should be more capable of accepting other people's opinions and levels of understanding, as well as respecting their freedom of thought. This is a free universe! Hari Om Shreesadhak Satyam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why is there such pain and suffering in this world? It is because we need to appreciate the sufferings of others before we can expand our hearts. The bigger our hearts expand, the greater we will become and the closer we will be with Creation. If we still feel that we are separated and we still think for ourselves, then we cannot be at one with Creation. We should serve our families in whatever way is beneficial to them, not to ourselves. We should not demand but always give and sacrifice. And if each member of the family does the same thing, then of course there will be harmony and love in the family.

Wisdom is not wisdom if it is not useful. We should apply the wisdom we have acquired through practice to our daily lives, so as to help improve ourselves and help purify the atmosphere of the world, thus upgrading its civilization. Before you misunderstand someone, or are ready to debate about something, you should consider whether you have understood correctly what the other person really meant, of whether what you are about to do is what the Master would want you to do. Constantly reflect on your innerself in order to get in touch with your inner wisdom. Your wisdom will not misguide you.

We should not let any situation obstruct our work or our decisions. Thus, in this world we can live meaningfully in a very short period of time and create many plans. Heaven is here and now. Anywhere you go, make it heaven. If you're happy, it's heaven. If you're not happy, even if the situation around you is very merry, very boisterous, you will still feel miserable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whenever the situation needs our love, we have to show it. And we have to show our actions, speech and thoughts always in loving kindness. That's the best for our spiritual growth and best for our fellow beings.
When you observe any goodness in yourself, develop it. When you observe any bad points in yourself, rectify them. Look at the positive aspects. It is not enough to just rely on meditation alone.
To cheerful people, everything is funny and all food is delicious. Originally, a joyful heart is a fruit of practice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you truly believe in your goodness, in what you are doing, you will influence other people. So one person makes a lot of difference. But if you don't believe they will influence you. They'll try to make a strong person out of your personality. We don't learn so that other people will know. We learn so that we know and that we can bless the world silently through our inner glory and inner love.
To be a noble being is the only choice; to walk forward, it doesn't matter how difficult; to fly upward, it doesn't matter how far, or how high. We just have to try again and again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When our actions, speech and thoughts are pure, our body will feel clean and comfortable, and we will be happy spiritually. We will not be affected by anything that others do. We will just feel blissful. We will attain the perfection of patience. It is not that we have to change the world, but our inner tranquility will sever us from the world and make us immune from its influences.
Anytime we think negatively about someone, we lose some of ourself, we lose some of the light, we lose some of the heavenly happiness that normally belongs to us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Sadhak (aspirant) who seeks to achieve the Godhood can adopt two methods;
a) Action oriented technique for the sake of consequences
b) Conscience - oriented technique for the sake of spiritual attainment i.e., without any prejudices for the results.
The technique that is action oriented and is backed up by senses like mind wisdom, etc is entirely different from the later one, which is mainly based upon conscience and facts that is right and wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At times when I cannot teach you directly, I have to do it through other people -- fellow practitioners or your spouse. Therefore, when you go home, carefully observe every situation, listen, and watch carefully wherever you are, then you will be enlightened, and understand something. I am always educating you, but you also need to have a clear mind to perceive it. Otherwise, you may deceive yourself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as you become centred within yourself, love will flow. Then you will forget the anger. You will think it is a small matter and it's easy to love the neighbour or love the enemy.
If we really love someone, we would love him the same even if he did us wrong, or made mistakes. It shows we have enormous love, and that is the true love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moment we make the decision of doing good or bad, or to avoid doing bad or good, that is a very important moment. If at that moment, we decide to do the good deed, no matter how difficult the test is, we will remain absolutely fixed towards the right direction. If we make the correct decision like that often, we will become stronger and go towards the right direction every day. Also, we will get rid of more and more of our bad habits and become a better person. If when facing the moment of decision, we do not have the will to go towards the right direction, we will go astray. If this happens often, we will become weaker and weaker, and do more and more bad things, strengthening the bad habits. We have to bring peace everywhere. We have to cultivate it within so that everywhere we go, we represent that. We are the peace, we are the Kingdom of God.
When we do something with concentration and spontaneity, the result will come out perfect. Because it comes out from God, from our real wisdom, from our real nature. Once we have some expectation or some pride in it, or some calculation in it, things go wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we meditate, we should try to ignore our weaknesses and sins, and try to concentrate on the purity of the True Self, on the higher note.
When you meditate, you should try to forget your knowing, your mind, your knowledge, your breath, your physical sensations, and just be. Remember what's most important.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We should practice for the sake of wisdom alone, for the sake of knowing ourselves, for the sake of knowing the origin of our home and for the sake of being free, loving and happy. That's all there is.
We don't learn so that other people know. We learn so that we know and that we can bless the world silently through our inner glory and love.
If we don't try our utmost to help others in the most effective way possible, we'll regret it afterwards. We'll blame ourselves for not fulfilling our duties. When other people blame us, it's not so bad. But it is terrible when we blame ourselves.
