Love for God

1. A man filled with love has great peace of mind, is pure of heart and is unaffected by adverse conditions, failures and losses. this strength is gained by love of the Lord which gives great self confidence. This self cofidence generates immense internal power.

2. This statement aptly describes the supremacy of love, the way it is found and the strength it gives. This transcendental, all power-giving love is reachable only by love of God. When attained, it has the power to grant us our highest aspirations, peace (no more worry or pain), purity of heart (being unpretentious, immediate, selfless and unconditionally loving) and the power to be unaffected by any circumstance.

3. Everything is contained in the purity of mind. This is a bouquet of flowers. Though the bouquet is one, there are many flowers in it. Similarly, the world is one, though it appears to be a conglomeration of many individuals. All should be one like a bouquet of flowers.

4. Love is one. It is the same in everyone. However, it assumes many forms depending upon the destiny, mind and position of each individual. A small child is called a baby, when she grows up she is called a girl. After her marriage, she is referred to as a daughter-in-law. When she has children, she is called a mother. After the passage of a number of years, she becomes a grand-mother and later a great grand-mother and so on. But the person referred to by all these names is only one. In the same way, all are one in this world. Jesus taught "All are one; be alike to everyone".

5. Truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence are the five human values to be cultivated by a human being. Truth is eternal. It is only when you follow this eternal truth that your name will remain in the annals of history for ever.

Life is Good

1. Truth, righteusness, peace, love and non-violence are five human values to be cultivated by a human being. You should learn all abut these human values and put them into practice. The your journey of life will surely become smooth and peaceful.

2. Not even a blade of grass will move without Divine Will. People who do not realise this truth get carried away by their pride of intelligence and learning. Bu no one, however, great he may be knows what lies ahead for him in the future.

3. Principlese to practice in daily life are given below:

(a) Search for faults and weaknesses within yourself and strive to correct them.

(b) Achieve singly-mindedness , equanimity and be free from likes and dislikes.

(c) Realise that everything is filled with love and all beings are the embodiments of love.

(d) Cultivate the habit of magnifying your faults while considering others' faults as minor.

(e) Constantly perform good deeds while being aware of the path of self-realisation.

(f) Being always aware that the Lord is omnipresent and knows everything, discriminate
between truth and falsehood.

4. A human being should speak softly, sweetly and lovingly. Only then will he experience peace. When your conduct and speech are bad, how can you have peace? Peace is not to be found outside; it is within you. Outside there are only pieces, not peace. You keep saying, "I want peace; I want peace". Let your conduct be good. Then peace will flow from within you. Where from do you get truth? Can you attain truth by reading books? No! Truth is very much within you. Truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence are the natural qualities of a human being.

Life is Good

1. Man can liberate himself only by knowing himself. He may master the universe but what can he claim to have known when he has not mastered himself. When he has no awareness of himself, he has no knowledge of the Knower.

2. God is the indweller of all human beings. Every human being, nay every living being is an aspect of the Divine. There is only one religion, the religion of love. One who observes differences based on religion is no human being at all. There is so much to learn even from birds and animals and in fact all creatures of the world. Religion means love.

3. Our conduct is our witness in every matter. You may live anywhere and go to any country. But you should always have good character. Love and respect everyone. Never hate anybody. Earn a good name. It is not our educational qualifications that confer greatness on us.

4. Alongwith education we should cultivate humility and obedience. Have no ego, pomp and pride. Keep your faith in GOD strong and steady. God in immanent in everyone. Names and forms may be different, but God is only one. He is present in all of us. Develop this strong conviction. Never observe the difference of high and low; all are one. Lead your life with firm faith in the Brotherhood of Man and Fatherhood of God.

Life is Good

1. Today wherever we see in the world, people are crazy for money. What can money do for you? Can it wipe the tears of sorrow? No not at all; money is only for name's sake. It can not bring real happiness. We can attain happiness only through right conduct, sacrifice and love.

2. Man today is beset with so many worries. You cannot carry on your life if you are bogged down by worries. To be born is a worry, to be on the earth is a worry, world is a cause of worry; entire childhood is a worry and so is old age; life is a worry, failure is a worry, all actions and difficulties cause worry, even happiness too is a mysterious worry. Devotion to God alone will put an end to all your worries. Develop such devotion and love in God and all your worries will be gone.
3. Though Gunas (attributes) emanate from the Lord, He is unaffected; smoke rises from the fire but fire is unaffected; clouds form in the sky and move about in the sky, but the sky is unaffected by them. All are attached to the Lord like beads but He is free, unattached. The universe is based on Him but He has no need for the universe as base.

4. Never give scope to worry; lead a life full of happiness. Love for God is the panacea for all your worries. Inculcate good qualities so that you can attain progress in life and have a bright future. If you sow the seeds of truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence, then the entire world will be on the right path.

5. Devotion to God does not merly mean singing songs in His praise, it implies love for God. when you develop love, all your endeavours will become sacred. Saturate your life with truth and love; then the entire world will shine resplendently. Just as a lamp spreads light all around, the light of good conduct will make the world shine.
