The whole events whether they are good or bad, they just come in our life and societies and try to teach us. It is our own unfortunate that we do not learn from such incidents.
The bad happenings warn us for not involving in such works which results come with pain at the end whereas good deeds motivate us to do such so that we can have satisfaction and happy ultimately.

As far as the Indian nation is concerned, it is essentially spiritual. In olden days,
everywhere there used to be Ashrams pulsating with divine ideals and replete with venerable
Acharyas who were intensely practical and realized. Even their Sishyas were highly evolved and
receptive in their very nature in regard to their Guru’s teachings. The degradation in the present
era is mainly due to the aping of Western manners and the copying of the Western modes of life
without doing even a modicum of justi
You would argue that we are never created and never would die. Then why
should not we all be in that all-pure, omnipotent state without being entangled by
Samskaras and Maya?
Questions like these are Ati-prasnas¾transcendental queries¾for which you will not get
an answer even if you rack your brain for millions of years. Intelligent people leave questions
such as the ‘why?’ and the ‘how?’ of the universe. If a small son questions his father, “Papa,
how did you procreate me?”, what answer will Papa gi
As a drastic measure to overhaul the vicious worldly Samskaras, I ask the students to
drown themselves in active service for some months or years. The period of training varies
according to the evolution of the students. They must know cooking, washing, and nursing of the
sick. They must serve the Sadhus and the Sannyasins in every possible way. Side by side they
must be able to learn all the Yogic exercises, concentration, Japa, meditation, etc. They must be
able to write essays on philosophy and Y
Today is starting Navaratri - the nine days in honor of the Divine Mother.
During the first three days Durga is worshipped.
During the next three days Lakshmi ist worshipped.
The last nine days Saraswati ist worshipped.
Today and the next two days recite the Mantra Om Shri Durgayai Namaha - and other Mantras/Kirtans in praise of the Divine Mother.
But this Mantra has two names, Hare
Rama and Hare Krishna. As these two names are different, will it not be Vyabicharini
Bhakti if the names of two gods are uttered by a devotee? And what is the form to be
thought of in meditation while repeating the above Mantra?
It cannot tantamount to Vyabicharini Bhakti. Real Vyabicharini Bhakti is worshipping
God for a few minutes and again loving children, wife, property, etc., for the rest of the day. The
Supreme Deity behind the two names Rama and Krishna is
Keeping your brain sharp and preventing mental decline involves more than just the brain itself. By working to keep your mind sharp, you can improve your attitude.
Nothing angers a person more than not being able to remember important things or events.
Healthy practices in many areas of life will help you keep your brain, as well as your body, in top shape.
Here are tips to keep your mind sharp

Too much or too little energy throws a kink in the brain’s delicate machinery. A low gl

compound feeling of attraction and repulsion is the outcome of it. Vacillation between the
good principles inculcated from babyhood and the faith as expounded by some now gives
rise to a perpetual internal contest. And if the voice of conscience strongly shows
disfavour, what would you advise?
Do not mistake your emotions or the promptings of your own mind for the voice of
conscience. Only if you have learnt the art of stilling your thoughts for considerable periods of
time can you claim to be able
Can he not read the thoughts of the student before the student has time to
utter them, before the student can bring out his questions, as Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa did? Can one who has such powers, even of thought-reading, be regarded
as a Master?
Clairvoyance and clairaudience are not always automatic processes. Unless the Master
directs his attention towards someone, he need not necessarily be aware of the seeker’s mentality
and doubts. Imagine a seer or a Perfect Master who is ever aware of what
The universe is not an accidental combination of atoms. The theory of evolution differs
according to the different schools of philosophy. The most accepted view, however, is that of the
Vedanta. According to it, the universe is a systematic organic whole directed by a supremely
intelligent and omnipotent Being behind it. From the relative standpoint, the universe appears as
a gradual unfoldment of the primordial matter into the visible gross effects, this matter being
actuated by the all-pervading C

bring the Kundalini back to Muladhara through the various Chakras? Kindly let me know
the movements of the Kundalini.
You will have to take the Kundalini to the Sahasrara Chakra through the practice of Yoni
Mudra. If you become absolutely desireless, if the Vasanas are destroyed in toto, Kundalini will
ascend by itself without any effort, through the force of purity.
Kundalini will drop down by itself through the force of Prarabdha. It will stop at each
Chakra by itself. You need not exert

orthodox principles. If I see an untouchable or a sweeper, even from a yard or so, I take a
bath and wash my clothes. I shall be glad to know whether these Niyamas should be
observed.
Pray to God to give you that day on which you will embrace a scavenger with joy, feeling
oneness. That day will be a blessed day. You have a very small, narrow, constricted heart. Try
to expand. Slowly give up the “Don’t touchism”. It will greatly bar your spiritual progress. It

Misery is the eye-opener in this world. Had it not been for the presence of pain and
misery, no one would attempt for salvation. Misery is a blessing in disguise.
Virtuous men treat suffering as a blessing as it develops the power of endurance and
mercy, and makes them remember God always. They welcome suffering. They do not want
worldly pleasure and prosperity. They have a changed vision. They always keep a balanced
mind in pleasure and pain. You cannot understand their mental state. They rejoice i
Everybody does his actions properly. A thief must pilfer things. A scoundrel must do
wrong actions. These are Kartavya. Remember this world is Trigunatmic and relative. Every
movement of the foot, every step, is an attempt towards Sat-chit-ananda. The world is a relative
plane. Prostitutes, saints, rogues, beggars, kings are all doing their respective duties. Good and
evil are relative terms. Evil exists to glorify good. Hatred exists to glorify love. A rogue is not
an eternal rogue. He can become a
You should not reduce your sleep by the use of medicine. That will affect your system.
Sufficient rest must be given to the body through sleep. When you regularly enter into deep
meditation, the system derives considerable rest and automatically sleep can then be reduced.
That will not affect your health.
Sleep should be reduced gradually and cautiously. Now, for a month go to bed at 9-30
p.m. and get up at 4 a.m. After a month, go to bed at 10 p.m. and get up at 3-30 a.m. Again, after
a month go to

The vast majority of people do not enjoy the good fortune of coming into contact with a
God-realized saint. What happens in their case is this. Traditionally, each family has a Guru-
Parampara. Each sect has its own sectional Guru. The aspirant born in a particular sect has, by
that mere fact, to accept the Guru of the sect as his own Guru. This Guru is by no means fit to be
called so, a
Now I have no money and I do not like to beg from door to

my thirst?
There are beautiful Ashrams throughout India where Nishkamya Seva is carried out.
They are always in need of sincere and energetic workers. You can remain in any one of the

Doctors and medicines are only instruments in the hands of God. Unless God wills, none
can cure, or get cured. Man should do his best, with initiative, enterprise and perseverance, but
depend on God’s grace for everything. To bear with suffering and accept it as a blessing of God
in disguise is great wisdom. Prayer invokes the inner potentialities of the individual, which flow
only from God, and they can certainly work miracles.
