The Vaishnavites
say that Lord Vishnu is the greatest while Saivites
declare that Lord Siva is the greatest of all. People
may speak on the basis of their feelings, but in
truth there is only GOD and the rest are names. |

You will not be respected if your
thoughts and words are at variance. You may speak
sweet words, but if your mind is filled with evil
thoughts, how can you earn the respect of others?
One can be called a human being, only when one's
thoughts, words and deeds are in total harmony. |
| |
|
|
|
Each one considers the form he worships
to be superior to the other forms. It is a sign
of ignorance to consider one form superior to the
other. |
| |
|
|
|
What is important is that your prayers
should not be confined to mere words. They should
be translated into action. It is easy to speak but
not so easy to practise. True prayer is that which
is translated into action. |

The principle of love that exists
in all beings is the principle of Divinity. Love
has no specific form. |
| |
|
|
|
The creation
emerges from truth and merges into truth,Is there
a place where truth does not exist?Visualise such
pure and unsullied truth. |
| |
|
|
|
To respect all is true worship. If
you want to be respected, you should respect others
in the first instance. Give respect and take respect. |
| |
|
|
|
God is present in everyone in the
form of love. Wherever you go, He is with you. He
is the eternal witness. Share your love with others
and receive their love in turn. Love is your greatest
virtue. Love confers the ultimate joy and bliss. |
| |
|
|
|
God resides in the heart filled with
love. Hence, it is essential that you fill your
heart with love. Where there is love, there is God.
You don't need to search for Him. He is always in
you, with you, around you, above you and below you.
Adhere to the principle of love. |
| |
|
|
|
God wants your love and nothing else.
Your love should not branch out in different directions.
It should flow directly towards God. |
| |
|
|
|
It is enough
if you call 'Baba' with love from the depth of your
heart. He will come to your rescue. |
| |
|
|
|
The mariner's compass always points
towards northern direction; likewise your love should
always be directed towards God. |

The body is
made up of five elements and is bound to perish
sooner or later but the Indweller has neither birth
nor death. The Indweller has no attachment whatsoever
and is the eternal witness. In fact, the Indweller
who is in the form of Atma is verily God Himself.
|
| |
|
|
|
Do not identify Me with this physical
body. I am not Dehaswarupa (body), I am Dehi (the
indweller). |
| |
|
|
|
This body is
a den of dirt, and prone to diseases; it is subject
to change from time to time; it cannot cross the
ocean of Samsara. It is nothing but a structure
of bones. Oh mind! Do not be under the delusion
that body is permanent. Instead take refuge at the
Divine Lotus Feet. |
| |
|
|
|
True Navaratri celebration lies in
giving up Dehabhimana and developing Atmabhimana.
You can see for yourself what an exalted position
you will attain once you give up body attachment.
You may be weak physically and mentally. But when
you develop Atmabhimana, all your weaknesses will
vanish in a trice. Establish yourself in the firm
faith, "I am God". |
