Cultivate Love, Peace, Right Action and Fortitude. Practice them systemically.

Some persons who have no experience and who do not put their words into practice, go about declaring that the way to peace is to keep samsaara (worldly life) at a distance.

When hardships overwhelm you, know that it is the consequence of your own past deeds. Do not blame the Lord and develop a grouse against Him. Do not pay heed to this trouble or take it as such.

You must have noticed the crane walking silently or standing motionless in order to catch a fish. Why? If it plunges headlong or runs about helter skelter, can it get the fish? Similarly, the Lord is the fish in the forms of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Right Action), Santhi (Peace) & Prema (Love). The... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lord's Name is like a mountain of sugar. Approach that mountain, have faith in it, taste it anywhere and experience that joy. The highest devotee is the one who ever revels in that joy. Others there are who live beside the mountain, enjoying for sometime the Bliss of constant remembrance of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Remove from the garden of your heart, the thorny bushes of greed and anger, jealousy and selfishness, the evil breed of "I" and "Mine". Uproot them even when they emerge as seedlings. All this discipline is truly required for earning Shanthi (Peace). Be firmly convinced that you are the Universal... Sign in to see full entry.
