DESERT EVERYTHING FOR GOD-REALISATION

Mira Bai deserted her husband;
King Bhartrihari his wife;
Vibhishana his brother, Ravana;
Bali, his Guru Shukracharya;
Prahlada, his father Hiranyakashipu.

You can desert anyone who stands in the way of your God-realisation.
If you have intense spiritual thirst after God, and if you have a passionate wife, wealth, power, position to pull you down, what is the earthly use of having such disastrous things.

Shun tem ruthlessly without any fear if these hinder yo

MAYAIC CREATION

The illusory sensual objects invade the mind and cloud the understanding.
But a man of dispassion and discrimination is always vigilant.
Maya is afraid to approach him.
Abandon these selfish struggles for amassing wealth.
March direct to that wire-puller who is moving these toys flesh -human bodies-who is keeping up this big show, who is behind this show.
In Him only will you find lasting happiness and perennial joy.
Merge in Him by practicing daily meditation.

MAYAIC CREATION

Tell me now friend: what do you really want in this illusory world?

Happiness, or pain?
Joy, or sorrow?
Have you understood the illusory nature of the Mayaic creation?
This world is a mere appearance.
The mind and the senses are deceiving you at every moment.
You have mistaken pain for pleasure on account of clouded understanding.
There is not an iota of happiness in this sense universe.
Maya is very powerful.

SUPREME GOODNESS

God works through your hands and eats through your mouth.

On account of ignorance and Abhiman(Egoism) you have forgotten Him.

This mortal Physical Sheath is an illusory Mayaic Production, smile, whistle, laugh jump, dance, in joy and ecstasy.

Sing Om, Om, Om! Rama, Rama, Rama, Shyama, Shyama, Shyama! Sivohm, Sivohm, Sivohm!

Come out of this cage of flesh.

Thou art not this perishable body.

SEEK GOD

The unseen power.
Know that God is unseen power that dwells within us.
He is the living Truth.
With no shore, no limit, like an ocean with all beings as its bubbles, God is neither in heaven above, nor down below, but in everyone, everywhere.
Beyond all and yet embracing all with infinite power, unfathomable knowledge, inexpressible bliss and ineffable splendor, God alone exist.

SWAMIJI WRITES

Life is very precious.
Time is very precious.
This world is your body.
This world is a great school.
This world is your silent teacher.
Live in the present; forget the past.
Give up mundane hopes of the future.
Think rightly.
Act rightly.
Learn to discriminate.
Acquire spiritual wealth.
It is most precious and inexhaustible.
You create your own world of worries and troubles.
No one forces it on you.

MY PRAYER

May I be of some use to the suffering humanity,
a refuge of the helpless,
a guide to the seekers,
a doctor to the sick,
a solace to the distressed,
a friend to the afflicted,
a lamp to those who need light,
a prop to those who walk with faltering steps
and boat to those who wish to cross this ocean of Samsara.
