We commonly become emotional, either in times of sorrow e.g. at being separated from a loved one, at experiencing failure in an external event, on hearing a negative news, etc. or in times of joy e.g. when our child or spouse or even pet performs a warm act, while watching a movie, etc. While we have always believed that it is absolutely normal or natural to become emotional and some of us even believe that it is good to let go of our emotions and crying once in a while makes us lighter and stro
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 by ou
God is the inner Ruler. He goads the body, mind and senses to work. Become an instrument

The Supreme Light descended into this mortal world of gloom and darkness, two thousand years ago.
The Law governing the Lord’s descent upon earth is the same at all times, everywhere. When unrighteousness grows and righteousness is waning, when the forces undivine seem to be stronger than the divine forces, when the Word of God or commandments of His Messengers are forgotten or disobeyed, when religious fanaticism follows the letter of the scriptures killing the spirit, it is then that the Lord

Angels warned them not to reveal Jesus’s whereabouts to Herod and so the wise men went their way without meeting Herod once again. Herod, thus, frustrated in his nefarious ambition, ordered that all children in Bethlehem below the age two should be mercilessly killed. The King’s officers readily carried out his orders; and thousands of little babes were quickly despatched to the Lotus-Feet of the Lord, in Heaven.
But Joseph and Mary, along with Lord Jesus, had been forewarned by angels of the co

When you do Japa and meditation, if evil thoughts enter your mind, do not use your
will-force in driving them. You will lose your energy only. You will tax your will only. You will
fatigue yourself. The greater the efforts you make, the more the evil thoughts will return with
redoubled force. They will return more quickly also. The thoughts will become more powerful. Be
indifferent. Keep quiet. They will pass off soon. Or substitute good counter thoughts or think of the
picture of thy Ishtam and the
Different definitions can be given from different standpoints. The earth is one of the
fields for experiencing the fruits of good, bad and mixed actions, and for performing fresh
actions. It is a Bhoga-bhumi as well as a Karma-bhumi. It is a bundle of atoms, a form of energy,
a materialization of thought, an expression of the effects of the Karmas of the individuals of
whom it is composed and to whom it is related. Scientifically, the earth is only one of the planets
which go to make the universe.

Everything else is sand, money is sand, power is sand, prestige is sand, and respectability is sand. And people make their houses on the sand. It is doomed from the very beginning .They are going to repent but the time that they have wasted is wasted, repentance cannot bring it back. So Be in this world but seems not to be in this world..like lotus..
The wise are those who make their houses of life on the rock of love. Then it is not a simple house it becomes a temple because eternity is found in
Kundalni is a subtle power; she lies dormant in each and every body. It is a cosmic
power; it is in the form of a serpent and lies coiled up in the Muldhara Chakra. The details about the chakras are given in the succeeding chapter. Kundalni is that dormant cosmic power within us that underlies all organic and inorganic matter. No words theory or thesis can describe this divine power. But for the purposes of understanding it is to be realized that this force is not like electricity, centrifugal o
Life and death are both processes of gaining more and more fresh experiences in the
progress of evolution tending towards the fruition of the wishes of the experiencer. Life is a
scene where the individual puts on the dress or the form of a certain amount of desires special
environment which can be fulfilled in the special environment afforded by it; and death is the
time when the individual goes behind the screen and puts on a new dress to appear in another
scene of life in order to fulfill another
Asceticism is really the austere life of sense-control and mental concentration lived for
the purpose of devotional practices or spiritual meditations. True asceticism necessarily
includes a strict observance of the moral and ethical disciplines, on the basis of which the higher
practices are undertaken. Asceticism is a means to enlightenment in as much as it prepares the
ground for meditation which leads to wisdom and realization. Sometimes, asceticism is taken in
its narrower sense of bodily morti
Firstly, I am not working for name and fame. When a person does selfless service, fame
comes to him, though he does not want it. You found it so in the case of Mahatma Gandhiji’s
life also. Only selfless persons know how to utilize even that fame for doing more selfless
service to a greater number of persons.
Secondly, it is through publicity that I come into contact with more and more seekers
after truth. It is the publicity that enables more and more people to offer me opportunities to
serve them.
A saint or a Sannyasin will not sleep on thorns, eat mud and stones, walk on his head and
break through walls. His body, too, is subject to hunger and thirst, heat and cold, etc., and an
overcoat is only a vertical blanket in bits and stitched in a convenient way to cover the body
against cold without hampering the movement of the limbs for service. A blanket is a horizontal
piece. I do not attach more importance or value to the coat.

The force behind the system of visual education which psychologists today acclaim as
infinitely superior to text-book education will be apparent if you reflect over a very common
phenomenon. Leave on your table in the study a few good books, a few pictorials and a few
photographs. Let your children, your friends, come into the study. What do they pick up first?
The books? No. The photographs first, and then, the pictorials.
