with what motive did you do it?  What was the intention that

prompted you? You may weigh the service and boast of its quantity.

Silence is the speech of the spiritual seeker.  Soft sweet speech is the

Line15:
expression of genuine love.  Hate screeches, fear squeals, conceit

vocabulary of love; unlearn the language of hate and contempt.


Line1:
Good works never languish for want of funds; the Lord will come to their

collect money in devious ways.  Help should come from pious hearts, from

Line5:
well earned money, from persons who know and appreciate the purpose for

Cows may be of different breeds or colors or sizes, but milk they

Dedicate all your physical possession and mental skills and

intellectual attainments to the service of the Lord.


Line1:
Dedicate your hands to the service of mankind, never deviate from


Line1:
Desires, disappointments and despair cause diseases.  Filling the

mind with the thought of God is the curative drug.


Line1:
Devotion is the sustenance of the heart, just as food is the

Line2:
sustenance for the body; devotion to duty is the highest form of


Line1:
Devotion to God does not mean merely offering worship in a shrine or

Line2:
taking part in Bhajan or Sankirtan.  One must recognize the form of

Divine in the images one worships or human being one serves.

Discipline is the mark of intelligent living; it is more essential

Divine bliss cannot be gained by accumulation of impediments like

cars and houses, land and gold, stocks and stores.

Divine is the inner core of all beings, near and far, big or small.

Expand your consciousness to its utmost limits.

Do good deeds, you get good in return.  Do bad deeds, you reap bad

results; do not blame God, thank yourself, blame yourself.


Line1:
Do not be affected when the results you anticipate are not

produced; do not anticipate at all, but leave it to God.

Do not get puffed up when you succeed.  Do not get punctured when

Do not give up wordly duties, but do them with the Name of God

on your lips inviting the Grace of God on your heads.


Line1:
Each has has his particular duty, task, role as an individual;

do that duty, carry on that task.  Play that role as best as you can;


Line1:
Education does not mean only giving meaning to the words.  Whatever

Line2:
is learnt in schools and colleges has to be practised and has to be used

Line3:
for the welfare of the society.  That is true education.


Line1:
Education is to be valued not as a means of earning one's livelihood,

Line2:
but as the essential requisite for a happy, peaceful and progressive


Line1:
Education should be divorced from job hunting.  Its primary purpose

Line2:
should be to enable the educated to lead an honorable and meaningful


Line1:
Ego lives by getting and forgetting.  Love lives by giving and

Every action of yours at the present time is bound to have a

reaction, resound and reflection in the future.

Every human being has four birthdays: the first is when he emerges

Line2:
from his mother's womb; the second is when he begins his spiritual study

Line3:
to lead him from darkness to light; third is when he has gained

Line4:
wisdom for achieving self realization; the fourth and last is when

he realizes his true identity and merges with Brahman.

Every rise will be followed by a fall, every elation will be followed

Feel that your family, your house, your fields, your cars are all

the Lord's property and that you are only the trustee.

For the disease of 'Bhavaroga' (birth death cycle), Bhagavan is the

medicine; for the disease of desire, Jnana is the prescription;

Giving up one's evil thoughts constitutes sacrifice and yoga - leaving

Line2:
one's wife, giving up one's material possessions and repairing to the


Line1:
God acts as creator, protector and destroyer.  You must show your

Line2:
gratitude to God by your actions, not your words.


Line1:
God cannot be won by tricks or through short cuts, He can be won only

Line2:
by the hard way of struggle, detachment and tough discipline.


Line1:
God does not calculate the cost of all which you surrender at His feet;

Line2:
He examines the spirit in which it is surrendered.


Line1:
God does not live in structures of stone or brick, He lives in

Line2:
soft hearts, warm with sympathy and fragrant with universal love.


Line1:
God has given you the heart to use in life, return it to Him as clean


Line1:
God has no preference and prejudices.  He is but reaction and resound.


Line1:
God is all mercy, adore Him so long as you have breath, so long as


Line1:
God is always ready to give you all that you want but you do not

Line2:
seem to know what is good for you and what you really want, so it is

Line3:
better and easier to surrender yourself completely to God and


Line1:
God is not attracted by your appearance, He will look at the cleanliness


Line1:
God is not somewhere away from you, someone distinct from you, He is


Line1:
God sees your devotion and not power; God cares for your quality and

Line2:
not your caste; God looks at your heart and not at your wealth.


Line1:
Grace of God is equal on all, but it leaks through the holes of

Line2:
anger, ego, lust, greed and desires.  Fill the holes with trust,

Line3:
kindness, love, patience and gratefulness.


Line1:
Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.


Line1:
I do not need your garlands and fruits, they are not genuinely yours,

I do not take anything from anyone except their love and devotion.

If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.


Line1:
In all the deeds that you perform, in all the individuals that you meet

Line2:
and in all the thoughts that you entertain, you must see the divine


Line1:
In order to gain the benefit that education can confer, it must be

Line2:
directed towards the cleansing of the inner instruments of thought and

feeling.  It has to promote and protect the pleasure of spiritual


Line1:
In the medicine chest of every member of our Seva Dal, one must keep

Line2:
in readiness tablets of discrimination, drops of self control, the

powers of faith, devotion and patience.  Only then one can be freed


Line1:
In the Sathya there is no mithya, but in the mithya (jagath) you have

Line2:
to search for Sathya and experience it.  You can do it, if you rid your

Line3:
mind of all modifications and modulations.  Let it be transformed

Line4:
from its present complex confusion into some thing like the sky,

Line5:
which does not bear any mark, though millions of birds fly through

Line6:
it and thousands of planes move across it.  Be unaffected, untouched,

Line7:
unattached.  That is the Sadhana which will reveal the reality.


Line1:
Install the Lord in your heart and offer Him the fruits of your actions

Line2:
and the flowers of your inner thoughts and feelings.  That is the

Line3:
worship I like most, the devotion I appreciate most.


Line1:
It is an act of merit to be of service to others, it is a sin to


Line1:
It is of no use if you simply utter the name of the God and if you

Line2:
do not follow the good things, it is just like uttering the name of

penicillin when you are running a high temperature.

Just as sugar cane does not yield sugar juice unless it is crushed,

as sandal wood does not give the fragrant paste unless it is rubbed on

Karma cleanses the mind if it is done as a dedicatory act, the

consequence being left to the will of the Lord.  Repentance

saves even sinners from perdition.  No ceremony of expiation is

Keep the name of the Lord always radiant on your tongue and mind,

Line2:
that will keep the antics of the mind under control.


Line1:
Knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful, knowledge

Line2:
without character is a powerful evil.  Knowledge without action is

Line3:
useless; action without knowledge is foolishness.


Line1:
Less luggage, more comfort is a slogan for a journey of life; reduce

desires, loosen attachment, you will win freedom.


Line1:
Let your boat be on the waters, but do not allow the waters to

enter the boat.  Be in the world, but not of it.  That is the secret

Love saturates all activities with joy and peace.

Line5:
Love yourself for the God that it embodies.

Line7:
Love others for the God that is enshrined in them.


Line1:
Measure the height you have reached with the yard stick of virtue,

Name of the God is the rifle which guards you against the beasts of

Objective possessions and subjective passions are

Offering all the deeds of man at the feet of the Lord

Peace or distraction, calm or anxiety, it is the product

Remember that if there is anything sweeter than all

sweet things, more auspicious than all auspicious

things, holier than all holy objects, verily it is the

Remove from the garden of your heart, the thorny bushes

of greed, anger, jealousy and selfishness.

Science without religion is lame.  Religion without

Service to man is the highest form of worship.  Do not

So long as man is not able to push away the clouds of

selfishness, he cannot look at the sun of wisdom.

Suffering entitles you more to the Grace of the Lord.

When suffering comes in waves, one behind the other,

be glad that the shore is near, bear them bravely.

Like cowards, do not throw the blame on some outside

The day when we understand that every thing belongs to

God, that will be the dawn of knowledge.

The good hearted man who professes no religion is the truly

Yesterday has deceived you and gone, tomorrow is a

doubtful visitor.  Today is a fast friend, hold fast


Line1:
You cannot claim to be educated or grown up unless

you have mastered the science of self control

and destroyed the root cause of delusion.


Line1:
You must surrender your judgement to the Lord, then Lord


Line1:
Your life can be peaceful only when you can control


Line7:
Destroying greed man achieves happiness.


Line7:
Understanding with Love leads to non-violence


Line1:
Humanness can be promoted only through spirituality

Line2:
and not by any other means.  Just as a seed can sprout

Line3:
only when it is planted in the soil and watered, human

Line4:
values can grow only in a spiritual soil.  If a man

Line5:
wants to cultivate human values, he has to apply the

Line6:
manure of spirituality to his heart, water it with love


Line1:
Spirituality does not mean leading a lonely ascetic life.

Line2:
Spirituality means getting rid of attachment and hatred

Line3:
and looking upon the whole humanity as one.


Line1:
It is not enough to praise God.  You have to love Him.

Line2:
You have to become Love itself so that you can love the

Line3:
entire universe.  When you become embodiments of Love,


Line1:
There is no greater penance than contentment for securing happiness.

Line3:
There is no worse disease than insatiable desire.

Line5:
There is no greater virtue than compassion.

Line7:
Peace is the highest spiritual discipline.

Be like the ant: When the ant gets a mixture of sand

The only hold that man has in this dreadful darkness

is the name of God. That is the raft which will take Him

across this stormy sea darkened by hate and fear,

Discipline grows out of devotion.  Devotion stems out of

duty.  Observe the three D's - Discipline, Devotion

of every duty there should be devotion.  There should

The easiest and most fruitful method of keeping yourself

free from dust and rust is Sathsang (good company).

Line3:
The company of the good and the Godly will slowly and

surely chasten and cleanse the persons prone to

Line5:
straying away from straight path towards self realization.


Line1:
The Lord is the sweetness, you are the sugar; He is fire,

Line2:
you are fuel. He has no heart; every heart where He is installed

Line3:
is His. Cleanse the heart by listening to spiritual

Line4:
discourses, seeking the company of the righteous,

Line5:
simple and sincere and by cultivating goodness of


Line1:
Work (Karma), Wisdom (Jnana) and Worship (Bhakti) are

Line2:
the three paths to God, but because of desire (Kama),

Line3:
Karma is warped through Krodha (anger). Jnana is

Line4:
befogged and due to greed (Lobha), Bhakthi is

Line5:
ruined but by developing Prema, man can conquer


Line1:
What exactly is duty? Let me summarise it for you.

Line2:
Tend to your parents with love and reverence and

Line5:
Whenever you have time repeat the Name of the Lord

Line7:
Never indulge in talking ill of others or try to


Line1:
You must realize that the divine current that flows

Line2:
and functions in every living being is the One Universal

Line3:
entity. When you desire to enter the mansion of God,

Line4:
you are confronted by two closed doors - the desire

Line5:
to praise yourself and the desire to defame others.

Line6:
The doors are bolted by envy and there is also the

Line7:
huge lock of egoism preventing entry. So if you are

Line8:
earnest, you have to resort to the key of prema (love)

Line9:
and open the lock; then remove the bolt and throw the

Line10:
doors wide open. The education must train you in this


Line1:
When the impulses arising from the heart are expressed

Line2:
in words, that is Sathya. To put into action your words

Line3:
is Dharma. For all these Love is primary. Love in action

Line4:
is righteousness. Love in speech is truth. Love in

Line5:
thought is peace. Love in understanding is non-violence.

Line6:
When you realize that God is in everyone, you will


Line1:
The spirit of sacrifice is the basic equipment of the sevak.

Line2:
Without the inspiration of the sense of sacrifice, your seva will

Line3:
be hypocrisy, a hollow ritual.  Inscribe this on your heart. Inscribe

Line4:
it deep and clear. There are four modes of writing, dependent on the

Line5:
material on which the text is inscribed. The first is writing on

Line6:
water. It is washed out even while the finger moves. The next is

Line7:
writing on sand. It is legible, until the wind blows it into mere

Line8:
flatness. The third is inscription on rocks; it lasts for centuries,

Line9:
but it too is corroded by claws of time. Have this inscribed in

Line10:
your heart - the axiom that   serving others is meritorious, that

Line11:
harming others or remaining unaffected and idle while others suffer,


Line1:
The grace of God cannot be won through the gymnastics of reason,

Line2:
the contortions of Yoga or denials of asceticism. Love alone

Line3:
can win it, Love that needs no requital, Love that knows no bargaining,

Line4:
Love that is paid gladly as tribute to all living, Love that

Line5:
is unwavering. Love alone can overcome obstacles, however many

Line6:
and mighty. There is no strength more effective than Purity,

Line7:
no Bliss more satisfying than Love, no joy more restoring than

Line8:
Bhakti, no triumph more praiseworthy than surrender.


Line1:
Birth is the consequence of “Kama” (desire, lust); Death is the consequence of “Kala” (Time, the lapse of Time).

Line2:
Birth is the consequence of “Kama” (desire, lust); Death is the consequence of “Kala” (Time, the lapse of Time). The God of Desire (Kama) was reduced to ashes by Shiva; the God of Time is Kala or Yama. He was subdued by sin. So, one has to surrender to Shiva (God) if one has to escape the consequences of these two frightfully fatal forces. If between “Kama” and “Kala” you take refuge in Rama, then you can escape the rigor. For Rama is the Aathma who has no “Kama” and is unaffected by “Kala”.


Line1:
Blessedness can be conferred only by the Divine Source; it cannot be acquired from worldly achievements and triumphs.

Line2:
Blessedness can be conferred only by the Divine Source; it cannot be acquired from worldly achievements and triumphs. It is dependent on the Immutable Triad, of Sathyam, Shivam and Sundaram. It assumes all forms, this Shaantham! It assumes all names, this Shivam! It is Sath-Chitth-Aanandh, this only one! It is Sathyam-Shivam-Sundaram!


Line1:
Brahma’s lotus is not the stalk that grows in mud and rises above the waters to catch the rays of the sun and blossom

Line2:
Brahma’s lotus is not the stalk that grows in mud and rises above the waters to catch the rays of the sun and blossom but the many petalled lotus of the Heart, each petal being the direction in which a particular tendency attracts the individual. The Bull on which Shiva is said to ride is not the animal called by that name but, the symbol of Dharma or Righteousness which has the four legs; “Sathya”, “Dharma”, “Shaanthi” and “Prema”. Gopala did not graze cattle but protected and fed “Jivis”, known also as “Go”. In the study of the Veda, you should look for the meaning that satisfies the head.


Line1:
Brahmacharya does not mean merely desisting from marriage.

Line2:
Brahmacharya does not mean merely desisting from marriage. It means becoming soaked in Holy Love for the Divine through transparent sincerity, unselfish will, pure consciousness and holy thoughts. You all know that Hanuman is described as the Eternal Brahmachari. He was married to Srivatsala, yet he earned that description. How? Brahmachari means, “He who is in Brahman”. Hanuman had no other thought than Rama (who is Brahman) and so, was ever moving in Brahman and living in Brahman. Your thoughts, feelings, desires and activities must all move in Brahman, the Universal Absolute. That is to say, whatever is spoken and whatever is seen must be cognized as Brahman. That is the real Brahmacharya stage.


Line1:
Brahman is the cause and Prakruthi (Nature) the effect.

Line2:
Brahman is the cause and Prakruthi (Nature) the effect. Nature is the deluding manifestation of Brahman. It is what can be called Leelavibhuthi or an expression of Glory (Vibhuthi) done as more sport (Leela). When the Leela is perceived as apart from Brahman, it is a false and incomplete perception. The Leela is manifold, Brahman is all. To discover the One in the many is the purpose of human existence. Brahmam is eternal. It is the Nithyavibhuthi, the everlasting Splendor. It is named the Kingdom of God. Leelavibhuthi is Prakruthi or Maaya or Avidya or Nature with deluding, deceptive diversities.


Line1:
Buddhi is the only instrument for realization.

Line2:
Buddhi is the only instrument for realization. Jnaana alone can grant the Vision, the ultimate Truth. That is why the Gayathri, a Vedhic prayer to the Light that fills the Universe to illuminate the intelligence, is a prayer for prompting the spirit of inquiry and for illuminating the path by the inner light of the Spirit.


Line1:
By developing spiritual qualities, you will be promoting the resuscitation of this country and its culture.

Line2:
By developing spiritual qualities, you will be promoting the resuscitation of this country and its culture. Look at the warning that the sacred texts offer! Somaka, the Asura, stole the Vedas! Ravana kidnapped Seetha, Duryodhana grasped an empire; Kamsa slaughtered children; but not one of them realized their heart’s desire that their names be exalted by history. Sentence of death awaits everyone, cutting off their pride and pomp. Some young persons feel that the work they have on hand gives them great pleasure but they do not pay heed to its future consequences. When you seek beneficial results, you have to involve yourselves in beneficial activity.


Line1:
By the example of your lives, you have to restore confidence among the people in the higher values of life.

Line2:
By the example of your lives, you have to restore confidence among the people in the higher values of life. Do not neglect the great lessons embedded in Sanaathana Dharma, which have sustained countless generations in this land for many centuries. “May all the Worlds be happy”, this is the goal towards which Sanaathana Dharma is leading us. Welcome within the fold of your Love, all men without distinction or race or religion, color or class. Have the picture of the Happy, Love filled human community in your heart. That will give you enough encouragement in your mission.

Carry on your highest duty - following the four F’s

Line2:
Carry on your highest duty - following the four F’s: Follow the Master; Face the Devil; Fight to the End; and Finish the Game. Then you win My Love in full measure. Love is My highest Miracle. Love can make you gather the affection of all mankind. Love will not tolerate any selfish aim or approach, Love is God. Live in Love. Then all is right; all can be well. Expand your heart so that it can encompass all. Do not narrow it down into an instrument of restricted Love.


Line1:
Carry to every door the name of God and let the clouds be illumined by Love and Reverence.

Line2:
Carry to every door the name of God and let the clouds be illumined by Love and Reverence. Let every street in the towns, every village in the State ring with the adoration of the Almighty; every sunrise sing of Rama, Eshwara, Shankara, and Krishna. Any Name is effective, provided it is suffused with the Divine Essence. Love the branches, twigs, leaves, flowers and fruits. They may appear to be different in color, feel, taste, smell, etc. but they all are products of the Earth, drawing sustenance from the Soil and the Sun. Live together in Love; live in Peace; and live in Service.


Line1:
Change your Vision and the world will appear accordingly.

Line2:
Change your Vision and the world will appear accordingly. Let the eye be charged with the Divine, it will see all as God. It is foolish to try to shape the World; shape yourself as the embodiment of Peace, Love and Reverence. Then you will see all as Love, Compassion and Humility.


Line1:
Children should grow in the awareness of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God.

Line2:
Children should grow in the awareness of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. If no provision is made for this atmosphere and this teaching, we are denying them their due. Faith in man involves Faith in God; Faith in God creates Faith in man. Without faith, man is a creature bereft of roots; and he dries and withers quickly.


Line1:
Clarify the Buddhi by Saadhana so that you get a vision of the Lord who dwells within

Line2:
Clarify the Buddhi by Saadhana so that you get a vision of the Lord who dwells within, that is the Sudarshana which saved Gajendra, the wild elephant (man) that was caught by the alligator (egoism) while rollicking in the lake. The objective World (Samsara) looks upon joy and grief as teachers of hardihood and balance. Grief is a friendly reminder, a good taskmaster; even a better teacher than joy. The Lord grants both, protection and punishment; for how can he be the Lord if he does not insist on strict accounting and strict obedience?


Line1:
Cleanse the heart by listening to spiritual discourses seeking the company and comradeship of the righteous, the simple

Line2:
Cleanse the heart by listening to spiritual discourses seeking the company and comradeship of the righteous, the simple, the sincere, the seekers and by cultivating goodness of character and sweetness of disposition. Fill your hearts with the sweet, fragrant waters of Prema (Love). Then every act of yours, every word of yours (which are like the water drawn from the tank through the taps - tongue, hand, brain etc.) will be sweet and fragrant. If the tank is filled with pollution, how can the word be helpful, the thought beneficial, or the deed commendable?


Line1:
Cleanse your emotions, passions, impulses, attitudes, and reactions.

Line2:
Cleanse your emotions, passions, impulses, attitudes, and reactions. That is the essence of spiritual discipline as laid down in all Faiths. Examine your mind, your thoughts; do not seek the fault-ridden person. Seek only purity; speak ill of none. Do not humiliate anyone; respect him for the good in him. Their grief at your behavior will haunt you during your last moments.


Line1:
Come, I am the repairer of broken hearts, of damaged Anthahkaranas.

Line2:
Come, I am the repairer of broken hearts, of damaged Anthahkaranas. I am like the smith who welds, mends and sets right. Ten years ago, a devotee prayed to Me in song, “My heart has gone dry, my lamp has gone out, my path is dark, my brain is confused. Lord make me fit again for life’s arduous journey”. The Lord will be waiting outside the door of the puja room of the Bhaktha, anxious to fulfill his wish. Verily he, who has the Lord as His Servant, is the real Prabhu.


Line1:
Consider for a moment how long worldly triumphs last.

Line2:
Consider for a moment how long worldly triumphs last. They are but the play of the scintillating name and form of the Divine that is the core of every being. Earn the vision that sees the Divine inherent in all. We are not troubled when something is good; only when it is bad. This is because goodness is natural. In our evil aberration, we are worried and alarmed when we slide into wrong or pain or sorrow. This is because Nature plans us to be right, to be happy and ever in a state of joy. It is a pity that man has lost his understanding of this Truth.


Line1:
Consider the condition of the field of your heart; it is overgrown with thorns and bushes of lust, anger, greed and envy.

Line2:
Consider the condition of the field of your heart; it is overgrown with thorns and bushes of lust, anger, greed and envy. Remove them, root and all. Do not allow the land to turn fallow. By continuous good work, plough the field and fill the field with the water of Prema. Select the Nama-seed that appeals to you and sow it in the field. Discipline is the force that will guard the growing crop against cattle. Virtue is the pesticide. Fostering the field with great care, you can bring home the precious harvest of Aanandha.


Line1:
Consider the Name Krishna that the Avathaar bore; what a significant Name?

Line2:
Consider the Name Krishna that the Avathaar bore; what a significant Name? Krishna is derived from the root “Krish” which means (1) to attract (2) to plough and cultivate and (3) the Divine Principle beyond time, space and causation. Krishna, like all Avathaars, attracts not only seekers, Saints and Sages but also the simple, the innocent and the good. He draws also the curious, the critics, the Skeptics and those who suffer from atheism. He draws them towards Himself by the irresistible charm of His Person, by His invincible Look, His Voice, His Flute, His counsel and His undaunted Heroism! He is ever in a State of Bliss, spreading Harmony, Melody and beauty around Him; He sings every where in the peaceful Pasturelands of Brindavan and in the blood soaked battlefield of Kurukshetra.
