22 nd August 2006 Man's character gets transformed into good or bad depending on his company. Noble company bestows noble feelings and bad company gives rise to evil traits.

17 th August 2006 Before undertaking any action, answers should be found for the five questions - who, when, where, what and how. People today act without concern for these considerations.

15th August 2006 Devotion to one's motherland is as important as devotion to God. When integrity and patriotism are developed in an individual, his vision becomes broad and his outlook balanced.

14th August 2006 Man's ego is the cause of his divisive attitude. The man who is caught up in the coils of his ego cannot recognise God. When the ego merges in the Atma, there is Mukti (liberation). The Aham (ego) arises from the Atma. From the ego, thought emerges and thought is the source of Vaak (speech). All these...

13th August 2006 You need not go anywhere searching for God. Divinity is within you. Just as there are many limbs in the body which are kept alive by one heart, the same God is the life-force for all beings. The entire universe is the reflection of the Supreme Being.

12th August 2006 It is the sense of duality of 'mine' and 'thine' which accounts for all the joys and sorrows, likes and dislikes experienced by man. This duality is rooted in selfishness, which makes one think that as long as one is alright, it does not matter what happens to the world. Such a self-centred person,...

11 th August 2006 Sound is the first attribute of God. The hymns of the Vedas constitute Naadha Brahman (God in the form of sound), which is highly potent.

9 th August 2006 Yajnas (sacrificial rituals) are conducted for a sacred purpose. The cosmic energy issuing from the Mantras (hymns) rises up with the smoke from the Yajnakunda (altar) and spreads all over the world, thus purifying the atmosphere.

8th August 2006 God is immanent in the five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Ether. Since there is no place in creation where the five elements do not exist, it can be concluded that God is all-pervasive. And yet, why is man unable to experience this divinity? Though water reflects objects, the image, unlike...

7 th August 2006 The body and mind are very closely interlinked and are vital to man's evolution. A complete man is one who has both a pure mind and a healthy body.

4 th August 2006 Buddhi (intellect) revels in discussion and disputation. Once you yield to the temptation of dialectics, it takes a long time for you to escape from its shackles and enjoy the bliss which comes from its nullification. You must always be aware of the limitation of reason. Logic and deduction must yield...

3 rd August 2006 All experiences of pleasure and pain have their origin in the thoughts of man. A thought is like the seed of a tree, which in due course puts forth branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. All that you see in a tree has come from a small seed. Likewise, although man's thought is subtle, it contains...

30 th July 2006 Caught in the coils of the 'created,' man is blind to the fact that he is part of the Divine Creator.

29 th July 2006 Why does man wail when he arrives into the world, whimper throughout his life and groan out, into the beyond, lamenting that his sojourn here was a waste of years? Man does so, because he is unaware of his glory, of his high destiny! He is the Divine poured into the human mould. It is the privilege of...

28 th July 2006 Saturate every breath of yours with love. Love knows no fear. Fear drags man into falsehood, injustice and evil. Love does not crave for praise.

25 th July 2006 Little children are trained to walk, by means of a walker, which they hold and push along. The Pranava is such a contraption, with the three wheels of 'A', 'U' and 'M'. Holding it, man can learn to use the two feet of Bhakthi (Devotion) and Vairagya (Detachment). If he gives up his hold on the Omkara,...
