Live life full of love for humanity!

The spark of love in you has to be cherished and fed so that it may reach God, then every being will be God, every act will be divine; every reaction you get from outside world will be charged with love and sweetened with that nectar. You love the God in all beings and the God in all beings responds with love. Love God, though tribulation may be your lot; love Him though you are refused and rebuked; for it is only in the crucible of travail that the metal is purified and cleared of impurities.
Remember three things always, continue service to humanity, whereever you are. Seek chances of helping others. Never lose an opportunity of using your skills and enthusiasm for the allevation of sorrow, pain or distress. Secondly, do not omit, neglect or postpone your own particular duty of study, meditation, bhajan and other such spiritual practices. Above all, have faith that God is with you at all times and at all places.
God is smaller than the smallest and bigger than the biggest. Though He is not visible to the physical eye, you can experience Him. This is a rose which you can see; but the fragrance can not be seen; it can only be experienced. Fragrance has no form but the flower that gives the fragrance has a form. Similarly, love has no form, but the mother who gives you love has a form. Love, bliss, fragrance, all these have no form that is the source of the formless attribute. Therefore, it is foolish to ask for direct evidence of God's existence. There are many things which are beyond the realm of direct evidence.
Detachment alone can give happiness. Renunciation is real yoga. Three evil qualities have to be renounced before man can rise to his real role. Anger which smothers wisdom, lust which pollutes action and greed which destroy's one's love for God and man. The touchstone which pronounces an act is meritorious is renunciation. If an act is self-directed, it it helps to inflate the ego, it is a sin.

GOD IS LOVE!

1. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one caste, caste of humanity. There is only one language, the language of the heart.There is only one GOD and HE is omnipresent. Let different faiths exist, let them flourish. Let the glory of God be sung in all languages in a variety of tunes. Respect the differences between different faiths and recognise them as valid as long as they do extinguish the flame of unity.
2. Love all, Serve all. Help ever, hurt never. Hands that help are holier than the lips that pray. Nothing in this world has more power than love; if you have love, you can achieve everything. Love is the greatest binding force. Therefore devlop love, talk to each other with love, perform all actions with love and always contemplate on the principle of love.
3. Forbearance is truth, forbearance is righteousness, forbearance is the teaching of the Holy Books, forbearance is non-violence, forbearance is sacrifice, forbearance confers happiness and heavenly bliss; infact it is everything in all the worlds.
4. All that you see is the form of God; all heads you see belong to the cosmic form of God. You see only the external names and forms and consider them as mere mortals. When you change your outlook, you will realise that all are divine. Defect lies in your vision and not in the creation. Whatever is the colour of your glasses, the world will appear in the same colour. If you see them with hatred, you will find hatred everywhere. On the other hand, if you see the world with love, you will find love everywhere.

Live with love!

1. No enemy can be so insidious as jealousy. When one sees a person more powerful or more knowledgeable or with greater reputation or more wealth or more beauty and or even wearing better clothese, one is afflicted with jealousy. One finds it difficult to acknowledge and accept the situation. One's mind seeks means to demean him and lower him in the estimation of people. Such propensities and evil tendencies should never strike roots in the minds of educated people. These should not pollute their character.
2. Man can lead his life in this world without any worried by adopting one principle; which is the principle of love, If you have love, then you have everything. You will have physical prowess, intellectual power and all other powers. All types of powers that we require in the world are all present in love. Love persuades you to consider the distress of others, whenever you are overcome by it. You are drawn to those who are equally afflicted by grief; you become engrossed in the sorrow of others that you forget your own.
3. Do not fritter away your energy, playing the silly game of gaining and losing, winning temporary fame, gathering and scattering, fortune and facility. Go strainght to the royal road that leads to self-realisation; do not stray into byelanes of counterfeit bias.

Duty!

1. Man should have love for God, fear of sin and morality in society. These are natural qualities of a human being. These three virtues impart great value to humanness. Since man today has forgotten Truth and Duty, his value as a human being has declined.

2. What exactly is the secret of ensuring peace and prosperity for mankind! Rendering service to others without expecting service from them in return. Karma or activity which binds is a huge fast growing tree. The axe than can cut the roots of this tree is doing every act as worship to glority the Lord. The yearning to do service must flow in every nerve, penetrate every bone and activate every cell of the body.

3. Develop love more and more. From tomorrow talk to everyone with love. Reply to every one with love. If you know the anwere to their question, reply properly; otherwise say "Excuse me, I do not know". You cannot always oblige, but you can always speak obligingly. Talk less, only then can you get rid of the animal qualities. Share you love with every one.

4. What is good and what is bad? First, eliminate the bad in you. Be in the company of good people, then you too will be good. It is a sin to point a finger at others when there is a mountain of evil within you.

CHANT THE NAME OF GOD!

1. To reach the presence of the source of bliss, that is God, you must tread the footsteps of great saints and seekers, like Jayadeva, Mira, Gauranga, Ramakrishna and others. Practice their teachings and follow their example. The path of dedicated activity of surrender to the Highest of incomparable love towards the Embodiment of Love - that is the sweetest path, giving joy at every step.
2. If there is no unity and harmony between the wife and the husband, there is no use of undertaking spritual practices like meditation and chanting. When the wife follows her husband and the husband follows his wife, there is great happiness in the family. Strive to achieve such unity and harmony in your family; then your entire life will become happy and peaceful without any worries whatsoever.
3. First and foremost, the youth should come forward to help each other. The end of education is character. If your character is good, then you can achieve anything in life. You may have won gold medals, acquired high degrees and achieved name and fame; but if you lack character these degrees are merely piece of paper.

BE GOOD!

1. Talk liitle, talk sweetly, talk only when there is a pressing need; talk only to those to whom you must, do not shout or raise your voice in anger or excitement. Such control will improve your health and mental peace. It will lead to better public relations and less involvement in contacts and conflicts with others. You may be laughed at as a killjoy but there are compensations enough for you. It will conserve your time and energy; you can put your inner energy to better use.

2. That which changes is worldly truth and that which remains changeless is spiritual truth. The changeless truth is the foundation; on the foundation of Truth stands the mansion of Duty. The mansion can be given any colour, any name; it can be decorated in any way; but the foundation cannot be changed.

3. Love is far more powerful than we recognise it to be and all humanitarian projects are demonstrations of the power of love. Conflicts will not solve problems; it may shelve a problem, it may sweep it unde the rug, it may supposedly keep it under the rug, it may keep it under control but the problem will erupt again and when it does erupt, it will be much more violent.
