DIVINITY AND MAN

1. God is all-powerful; God is everywhere; God is all-knowing. To adore sucha a formidable limitless principle, man spends a few minutes out of 24 hours and uses a minute idol or image or picture ! Adore Him so long as you have breath and so long as you are conscious. Have no other thought than that of God. Have no other aim than knowing His command, no other activity than translating that command into action. That is what is meant by surrender. Surrender yourself unto Him.

2. Mere acquisition of knowledge is not enough. Your knowledge may be as vast as an ocean, your common sense may be as great as the mighty Himalayas, but if you do not have discrimination, then everying is useless. Before you undertake any task, always enquire, "Is this good or bad, is this right or wrong ?" You will come up in life if you develop this quality in you. This itself is self-realisation.

3. Your discrimination is like a signal. Never ignore this signal. When you inner self tells you that something is right, you should follow it scrupulously, irrespective of what other say. Let people talk whatever they want, but we should remain steady in our mind.

4. Many people are worried about thie future. Do not brood about the past; do not worry about the future. Past is past; forget the past; do not think about it. Present is important. It is not ordinary present, it is omnipresent. Make proper use of the present, then future will definitely bring happiness and contentment.

5. One can achieve anything in life with the help of God's Grace. When you face all the test of God with total faith and do your duty; you are sure to succeed. It is not possible to describe the happiness of devotees who have unflinching faith in God. If you have such strong faith in God, He will take care of you wherever you are.

6. MONEY COMES AND GOES, MORALITY COMES AND GROWS. Develop morality. All are one, be alike to everyone. All should work with unity. Whatever you may do will be a mere waste, if you forget God. Keep God as your highest goal. God is not present in a far off land. He is present everywhere. People may say anthing, you may face any number of difficulties, but you should never forget God. Only when you have such pure, steady and unwavering devotion can you be called a devotee.

7. Your devotion should be full and total like an ocean which ever full and does not diminish at all. One the one hand, its water keep evaporating and on the other, rivers keep pouring water into it with the result that it always maintains its fullness. Make your heart like an ocean. Do not allow it to be disturbed by the waves of your desires. Any number of waves may arise, but the ocean keeps its pristine state. Hence, keep your heart always pure, steady and selfless.

DIVINITY AND MAN

1. There is no need for man to seach for GOD anywhere. God is present is each and every human being. Lord Krishna says in Bhagwad Gita "All are an aspect of my Divinity". Where then would you search for God when HE is in you and with you. Whatever work you do, consider it the work of God.

2. God has blessed man with body, mind and intellect. Human beings are endowed with a healthy body, strong mind and shart intellect capable of deep thinking; but they are misusing them. Instead of thinking of God and making proper use of their limbs, they are misusing their senses. Try to see all that is good. Hearing the criticism of others and seeing all that is evil is a sin. Try to listen to good words with our ears. Man has given us tongue to sing the glories of God. Chant the name of God. Let others also hear it and redeem their life.

3. Be courteous to poor and help them. Provide help and means of treatment to those who suffer from some ailment. Extend a helping hand to those who are weak and are unable to walk. When we teach others the value of Service after putting into practice in our life it will create awareness in others.

4. God is the embodiment of love. He protects the mankind by HIS love. Draw everybody close to you with love, then you will attain proximity to God. When you look at others with love God will also look at you with love. When you treat others with love they will also show love towards you. Some show great love for outsiders but do now show the same love towards their mother and father in the house. First and foremost love your parents and then other people.

5. Do not allow anger to overpower you. Charity and kindness are an important part of righteousness. Remember:
There is no charity greater then feeding the hungry;
There are no greater gods than parents;
There is greater Dharma than compassion;
There is no greater gain than the company of the good; and
There is no enemy greater than anger.
