Light On Life

Lust for power, material greed, sensual excitement, selfishness, passion, passion for wealth

and the lower appetites have drawn man from his true life in Spirit into the materialistic life. He can

regain his lost Divine glory if he practises in right earnest the principles of Bhakti. Bhakti

transmutes animal nature into Divine Nature and raises him to the pinnacle of Divine glory and

splendour.

May you develop Bhakti so that it will lead you to attain Godhead or…

Bhagavatam. You will soon develop devotion. The Divine Grace will descend upon you.

Is married life not an obstruction to God-realization? How can a married man please both his wife and God simultaneously?

Married life can never be an obstruction to those who are endowed with dispassion and

detachment to worldly objects and who consider that life is intended to mould one’s own self by

drawing lessons from the university of Nature. Study the lives of saints like Thyagaraja,

Ekanath, Narsi Mehta, Bhadrachalam Ramdas, Tukaram, Namdev, Jayadeva, Chaitanya and

Kabir. Probe deep into the world and the way in which the above-mentioned saints and a host of

others actually led…

The Internal And External Source Of Spiritual Energy …

Every day, in the morning, we all need to recharge our spiritual battery, the energy of which has been used the previous day. This is extremely important, otherwise the light of our consciousness becomes dim, thoughts become unfocused and decisions are filled with un-clarity and doubt. This energy is available inside and outside. Inside us we have a spiritual centre, at the center of our consciousness, pure spiritual energy. This is what we are. However access to this energy is now blocked…

Now if that same person expanded his chest and abdomen to the maximum that is possible and thereby drew more air into the lungs, it would be possible for him to draw in approximately an extra two liters. This is over and above the normal half liter that can be inhaled. This…
