Gems of Wisdom

Much of our disappointment comes from expecting others to think, act, or care exactly as we do. When we release unrealistic expectations, we free ourselves from unnecessary frustration. Instead of trying to control other people, focus on becoming the best version of yourself through kindness, discipline, humility, and continuous growth.

Hold yourself to high standards, but treat others with understanding. Appreciate what people choose to give rather than dwelling on what they don't. A life centered on personal growth, gratitude, and self-responsibility brings a deeper and more lasting sense of peace.

True happiness begins when you stop expecting the world to change for you and start becoming the person you aspire to be.

Divine Wisdom

 

God is Watching

"God is watching all that you do.  You may think that others do not know what you are up to.  You may hoodwink others but can you ever deceive God?  He knows everything.  So always do good.  All your sings will be atoned for when you make proper use of your senses."

The Mind

"The mind is a troublemaker.  It jumps from doubt to doubt; it puts obstacles in the way.  It weaves a net and gets entangled in it.  It is ever discontented.  It runs after a hundred things and away from another hundred.  Take up the task of training it to be an obedient servant.  It can be educated, if only you know how to do it.  Once it realizes the value of repetition of the Lord's name, it will adhere to that method of finding peace and joy."

Wise Words

 

Guru

"Gu" means darkness and "Ru" means dispelling.  Guru is one who dispels darkness.  Guru Poornima is the day on which one celebrates the removal of the darkness of ignorance from the mind.  Hence, people should fill their minds with the all-embracing love principle.  To experience the fullness of love, you have to fill your hearts completely with love."

JAI SAI RAM

Love Cannot be Tarnished by Malice or Hate

"Until you become aware of your own Divinity (Devathathwa) so long as you are conscious of your distinct individuality (Jeeva-thath-wa) - so long as you feel you are you and God is God, you cannot but struggle, with some attitudes and objectives. This is the stage called the Sadhaka stage. During that stage, you must endeavour to equip yourself with the above mentioned qualities of Love, Sympathy and Compassion. For, without these, Yoga and Jnana cannot be secured.

Love is vital. Love is Divine. To render an act fit to be offered to God and pure enough to win His Grace, it has to be a manifestation of Love. The brighter the manifestation, the nearer you are to God. Prema is not affected or modified by considerations of caste or creed, or religion; it cannot be tarnished by envy, malice or hate. Preserve Love from being poisoned by these evils; endeavour to cultivate hatred-less, distinction-free feelings. 

The root of all religions, the substance of all scriptures, the rendezvous of all roads, the inspiration of all individuals is the Principle of Prema (Love). It is the firmest foundation for man's mission of Life. It is the Light that ensures World Peace and World Prosperity.

Fill every word of yours with Love, fill every act of yours with Love. The word that emerges from your tongue shall not stab like the knife, nor wound like the arrow, nor hit like the hammer. It has to be a foundation of sweet nectar, a counsel of consoling Vedanthic wisdom, a soft path of blossoms; it must shower peace and joy."
