24 th July 2006 God is said to be a stealer of hearts! The whole world is God's. All of you belong to Him, though you may not know it. Therefore, He can take anything from anyone. He is the Master of the ether, wind, fire, water and earth; He can change the sky into the earth and the earth into the sky. He can also...

23 rd July 2006 Birth as a human being is a rare and unique opportunity. For, man is endowed with a discriminating intelligence, the power to reason out the best among alternative courses of action. The tongue that does not chant the name of God, the hand that knows no charity, the years of life that know no peace of...

22 nd July 2006 Through right action, one achieves purity of heart, which leads to the acquisition of Jnana (wisdom). It is only when attachment to the fruits of one's actions is discarded that the action becomes Yoga (Divine communion). One should overcome the sense of 'mine' and 'thine'. When one embarks on service...

21 st July 2006 Do not serve for the sake of rewards, attracting attention, or earning gratitude, or from a sense of pride at your own superiority in skill, wealth, status or authority. Serve because you are urged by love. When you succeed, ascribe the success to the Grace of God, who inspired you as the Love...

20 th July 2006 You have no need to run about in search of God, for, you are yourself God. God resides in your heart. He is the All-pervasive motive force. Have firm faith in this truth. Like fire in the matchstick, divinity is latent in man. The fire in the stick becomes manifest when it is struck against the side of...

19 th July 2006 The body is a chariot. The charioteer is the principle of Buddhi (intellect). The senses are the horses. The reins that regulate and restrain the horses is the Manas (mind). When the mind wavers and wanders, not having stability of purpose, the horses run helter-skelter, endangering even the...

18 th July 2006 In the cavity of the heart of man, in that sublime Akasha (space), God resides associated with the Self principle, as sunshine exists associated with shadow. The shadows are many and varied, though the light is One. When the One is reflected in the many, in the multitude of Jivis (individuals), it...

17 th July 2006 Morality does not merely mean the observance of certain rules in the work-a-day world. Morality means adherence to the straight and sacred path of right conduct. The honour of the community rests upon morality. Without morals, a community decays. Only in an individual who is morally strong does the...

16 th July 2006 What are the qualities of a true devotee? The first of these is desirelessness (Anapeksha). A true devotee should not have desires. But, is it possible for you, endowed as you are with a body, mind and senses, to be without desires? One is bound to have some desire or the other. On the one hand, there...

15 th July 2006 Jnana in Vedantic parlance has been defined as "Advaita Darshanam" (recognising the One without a second). That is to see the One in the many, unity in diversity. There may be many names and forms, but you have to recognise that the Atma Principle in all of them is one and the same. It is not enough to...

14 th July 2006 There are valuable lessons to be learnt from the Sun, Moon, the clouds, the sea - all are teachers of the importance of discharging one's duty. Trees distribute their fruits and grant their shade to every one, even to those who lay their axe on them with intention to destroy them! Mountains suffer...

13 th July 2006 The Vedas have taught the means to make life in the world pure and meaningful. They have declared: "Na karmanaa na prajayaa dhane na, thyaagenaike amrutatwamaanashuhu" (not through rituals, progeny or wealth, but only through sacrifice can immortality be achieved). A Thyagi (renunciant) does not...

12 th July 2006 Deha Vasana (attachment to the body) impels one to seek physical strength and health and an attractive physique. All the efforts to make up one's face will not serve to alter its natural features. Only that which has been given by the Lord will be enduring. You must be content with that. While taking...

11 th July 2006 Guru Poornima The very first lesson I gave when I declared My identity at Uravakonda was: "Maanasa Bhajare Guru Charanam, Dusthara Bhavasaagara Taranam." That is to say, first know that you are in 'Bhavasaagara,' this cycle of birth and death. Then resolve on 'taranam' or crossing it. Then fix your...

10 th July 2006 When thoughts emanate from a mind purified by love, they will result in Dharma (Righteousness). When Love becomes part of your experience, thought and action you get Shanti (Peace). When you comprehend Love clearly, Ahimsa (non-violence) will result automatically. So Love is the unseen undercurrent...

9 th July 2006 There are different kinds of Jnana (knowledge). What is implied by the 'Jnana' is the knowledge of the Atma. It is not concerned with the physical, sensory or worldly knowledge. Atma Jnana (knowledge of the Atma) can be got only by enquiring into the nature of the Atma and not by any other means. It...

8 th July 2006 Most people in the world do not understand the purpose of life. Preoccupied with the pursuit of external objects, men do not strive to explore the inner realms of the Atma. Standing on the seashore, one can see only the waves on the surface and not the pearls lying in the depths below. Only the brave...

7 th July 2006 Ashadi Ekadashi When Sri Krishna was being weighed in a balance, all the jewels of Sathyabhama could not balance His weight. Rukmini then came and declared that the mere chanting of the name of Krishna would be equal to His weight. By the additional offer of a leaf, a flower or a little water, the...

6 th July 2006 You have today in the world, men of wealth, strength, scholarship and virtue. But there are few who have realized the Self. Ignoring the Self, of what avail are all other possessions, which are temporary and evanescent? Of what use is the knowledge about the world, when you are not aware of yourself?...

5th July 2006 What you consider as real is unreal. What you think is unreal is the only Reality. God alone is the one eternal Reality. Do not forget this truth. What you regard as real in the waking state does not exist in the dream state. What you experience in the dream state has no reality in the waking state. If...

3 rd July 2006 People claim to make offerings to God, even without knowing where He is. When the Lord is ever by the side of man, he is searching for God all over the world. One must purify one's consciousness instead of being led astray by the external. You have to rectify your conduct and actions, because everything...

2 nd July 2006 God is love incarnate. This love shines equally in every human being. The fragrance of a flower remains the same whether it is held in the right hand or the left.

So too, we have on the spiritual path, the stages of work, worship, wisdom and sacrifice. Sacrifice may be likened to a ripe fruit falling from a tree, sacrificing its affection and attachment. Work is for...

30 th June 2006 God will respond to your prayers for succour only when you respond sympathetically to the needs of others. Life should not be wasted in selfish activities, blind to others' distress and deaf to others' groans. Treat joy and grief equally - this according to Lord Krishna is Samathwam (equanimity)....

29 th June 2006 Without unwavering faith in an all-knowing God, life becomes dry and drab, darkened by the ever-present shadow of despair and doom. Love for God and fear of sin are the two primary needs for a happy life. Without these two, man becomes a monster. Man must be ever ready to sacrifice his selfish needs...

28 th June 2006 Food is an important factor which determines the alertness and sloth, the worry and calm, the brightness and dullness of man. When the mind is fed on Rajasic food that induces passion and emotion, activity and adventure, it gallops into the world with the plunge of desire! It brings man deeper into the...
