Inspiring Svadhyaya For
Aspirants
Physical Body And Life Divine
This body is a bubble. It is like lightning. This world is a play for
two days. It lasts today. It continues tomorrow. No more. No more. Awake. Awake. Seek the Eternal.
Rest in thy Satchidananda Atman.
Divine life is perfect life led according to the laws of truth.
Divine life is life immortal in which ideal state of perfection and expansion of self in infinity
and eternity is attained. It is a means to attain the true ideal of all beings, namely
God-realisation. Divine life aims at harmony, peace, concord.
Repetition Of Divine Name
Silent repetition of the Lord’s Name is a tremendous tonic and potent
specific for aIl diseases. It should never be stopped even for a single day under any
circumstances. It is like food. It is spiritual food for the hungry soul.
Man And His Stepping
Stones
Man is more than what he thinks to be. He is eternal and Immortal. He
is perfect knowledge and joy without decay. He is in want of nothing, he is Apta Kama. He is
Supreme Bliss. This is the highest truth.
Every failure is a stepping-stone to success. Every difficulty or
disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every disease is a Karmic purgation. Every unpleasant
incident is a test of your trust in God. Every temptation is a test of your spiritual
strength.
Peace, Salt Of Life And Sankirtan
The salt of life is selfless service. The bread of life water of life
is universal love. The water of life is purity. The sweetness of life is devotion. The fragrance of
life is generosity. The pivot of life is meditation. The goal of life is
Self-realisation.
There is no softening agent more efficacious than Sankirtan.
Sankirtan is melting the sin-hardened stony hearts of sceptical scoffers, non-believers and all
sorts of sinners.
Peace is a divine attribute. It is a quality of the soul. It cannot
remain with greedy persons. It fills the pure heart. It deserts the lustful. It runs away from the
selfish. Look within the chambers of your heart When you are established in the Highest Self
within, you will no be shaken even by heavy sorrow, loss or failure. Marvellous is this
Peace.
The Sage, Happiness And Power
Just as the Himalaya stands unmoved by storms, so also the Sage
stands unmoved by praise and censure, respect and disrespect, gain and loss, victory and
defeat.
Happy is the man who is under the care and protection of a Guru.
Happy is the man who serves the Guru and meditates by his side. He who serves the Guru knows the
way. The way cannot be found without the Grace of a Guru.
The path of communion by love, devotion and self-surrender to God is
the easiest of all paths and intense earnestness is the only power that takes you to the Goal of
life.
The Power of powers who gives power to the mind, the Light of lights
who sheds light on the mind, the Seer of seers who witnesses the motives and movements of the mind,
the Support of supports on which the mind rests in sleep is God.
Life, The Melting Heart And Divine Grace
Cultivate a melting heart, the giving hand, kindly speech, life of
service, equal vision and impartial attitude. Keep your mind calm and cool at all times and in all
conditions of trials.
God is the silent and unseen listener of surgings of your mind. God
is your unseen guest at every meal. God is the head of your house. God sees and hears everything
that you do. Have utter Trust in God and do the right.
Life is a valuable asset; utilise it for attaining God-realisation.
Life without worthy ideals is like a rudderless boat. Life without aspiration is like vegetable
existence. Live for God and attain God-realisation.
Divine life teaches control of mind by concentrating all attention on
the inner Self. Right conduct, self-conquest, compassion, benevolence, pursuit of truth, service of
humanity, meditation, self-inquiry - this good living, this is divine life.
Humanity, Love And Goodness
There is only one caste - the caste of humanity. There is only one
religion - the religion of love or religion of Vedanta. There is only one Dharma - the
Dharma of truthfulness. There is only one Law - the law of cause and effect. There is only one
language - the language of the heart or language of silence.
To be childlike is good; to be childish is not good. To be devotional
is good; to be emotional is not good. To have strong will is good; to be self-willed is not good.
To stick to one's ideal is good; to be obstinate is not good. To be courageous is good; to expose
another’s faults is not good. Love is divine. Love is nectar. Love is the greatest power on this
earth. Love alone can transform the world. Love alone can bring peace on this earth. Love alone can
conquer the hearts of others.
Purity, Aspiration, Realisation
There is no boat safer than Satsanga to take us to the other shore of
Samsara, the shore of absolute fearlessness and immortality.
Realisation is not the monopoly of cave-dwellers and mountaineering
nomads. External conditions may at times be helpful; but the essential thing is inner attitude -
and even external circumstances are conditioned by this attitude. You create your own world of
worries and troubles. No one forces it on you.
The heart lit up with the flame of spiritual aspiration and perfumed
with the scent of devotion is the rarest acquisition of man.
Therefore, endeavour hard to purify the lower self and attain supreme
success.
Sadhana And Sakti
God is the fountain-source of life, health, strength and
power. Meditation on God is the panacea for all ills. To develop your muscular power is not your
goal. To be disease free, to be free to carry on your Sadhana is your aim.
Eternal happiness is the only ideal that is worthy of human
endeavour. He who is purified through wisdom, who is serene, self-controlled without egoism and
mineness is freed from all sins.
Sakti is the path to Siva. The Divine Mother is the promise and the
possibility of the attainment by the human being of the highest end of existence, the Supreme
Purushartha - Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Look to Her for grace. Your prosperity here and
beatitude hereafter are assured.
Anger, Mind And Self-Conquest
Anger is un-Atmic. Anger wastes energy and clouds the mind. Conquest
of anger makes one a spiritual hero, commanding success in life, getting happiness from every
moment of existence on earth.
Victory over the mind is certainly victory over death. The inner war
with the mind is more terrible than the outer war with machine-guns. Conquest of mind is more
difficult than the conquest of the world by force of arms.
To attain ethical purity, concentration and meditation, you must
understand the mind, destroy its evil properties, battle with it and gain victory.
Love, truth and purity form the foundation of the edifice of divine
life. The Temple of divine life has four pillars - meditation, purity, love and righteousness. Lead
the divine life and become
divine.
