Any number of zeroes have no intrinsic value unless number 1 (one) is added before them.
Even so the wealth of the three worlds is nothing if you do not try to acquire spiritual wealth and if
you do not strive for Self-realisation.
Therefore live in the soul or the Self within. Add Atman to the life here. “Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto thee” (Lord Jesus).
Just as the light is burning within the hurricane lamp, so also the Divine Flame

Neither birth nor learning makes one good. Good character alone makes one good. He who
has lost his character is himself lost. The cultivation of good character leads to spiritual progress.

Sadhana Path

The Lord who is everything then what more can one showoff himself/herself or anything before him/her as everything which are received from and by their kind mercy only then what is there more still remaining to express out by activities.

Every one says that Lord can be attained through selfless LOVE only, NO DOUBT, yet instead of attaining him/her their efforts are with many kinds of showoff for pleasing him/her to fulfill their desires and they do it for self-centered only and there

Anger shatters the physical nervous system and produces deep lasting impression on the
inner astral body. Dark arrows will shoot from the astral body. A terrible fit of wrath will produce
deep inflammation of the astral body. Have you realised now the disastrous consequences of anger?
Do not become a victim of anger. Control it by Kshama, love, mercy, sympathy, Vichara and consideration for others.
Fix your mind on the Lotus Feet of the Lord. Give the hands to work. You will be able to do two thing

Do not be offended by trifling matters. Cultivate an amiable loving nature and adaptability.
Admit your faults if they are pointed out by others. Eradicate them and thank the man who points

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 Self-Realisation in this
very life! Ma

The power of prayer is indescribable. Its glory is ineffable. Sincere devotees only realise its
usefulness and splendour.

themselves. Do the best you can and leave the rest to God.

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

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 their lives.

you abide in the Lord for ever!

The tendency to persevere, to persist in spite of hindrances, discouragements and impossibilities – it is this that distinguishes the strong soul from the weak. A man of strong will and perseverance never meets with failures, He attains success in all his undertakings.
When you embark on a project you should not leave it till you attain complete success. Pursue it resolutely. A man of diligence, vigilance and strong resolution grows into a genius.

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

Enlightened spiritually can be attained in a home living with family in material life.
