Remember, just because one does not have money and health does not mean that that person’s life is not worthwhile – perhaps it is even more so than that of the person who is well-endowed. The individual of scanty means who is sick and blind, who may be at death’s door, but still he fixesContinue reading “Only God in mind .”

“Only that mind which by practice of yoga, having lost all its latencies, has become pure and still like a lamp in a domewell protected from breeze, is said to be ‘dead’. This ‘death of mind’ is the highest fulfillment. The final conclusion of all the Vedas is that Liberation is nothing but mind stilled.Continue reading “Mind should die.”

God created this dream universe for entertaining Himself and us. The only objection I have to God’s lila is this: “Lord, why did You permit suffering to be a part of the play?” Pain is so ugly and torturing. Existence then is no longer entertainment, but a tragedy. That is where the intercession of theContinue reading “Suffering initiate real thinking.”

But when the punishment finishes, they stop worshipping and sin again, thereby inviting an increasedContinue reading “Don’t invite further punishments.”

People repeat God’s name in various ways, as they are taught. According to my experience if the mantra is recited with proper breathing, the mind becomes silent and samadhi ensues. Even when Arjuna was fighting a war, his peace was not shaken. Without peace there is no samadhi. The peace that results from Self-realization isContinue reading “Don’t waste time.”

That´s all.You must surrender like a river discharging into the ocean.Surrender is to discharge your river of separatenessinto the ocean of Being, losing your limitations, and allowing to happen what happens. ~ Papaji
