  • Everyone desires happiness and wants to avoid sorrow.

    But in this world, happiness and sorrow, truth and untruth, righteousness and unrighteousness, justice and injustice are not permanent; they pass and change with time.

     People should recognise and adore the source from which these pairs of opposites arise... We should be able to welcome sorrow in the same way as we welcome happiness.

    One with the quality of equal-mindedness is a true human being. You should therefore trust the Divine and experience His love in your heart.- BABA

  • Do not blame God for your misfortunes. When everything goes right, you say that God has come close to you; when something goes wrong, you say that He has deserted you and gone far away! God does not move far or near. The distance between Him and you is as much as the distance between you and Him. He is everywhere. He is always in your heart. Recognise Him there; realize Him as nearest and dearest to you. He is your own self, neither terrible nor tender, but simply 'is'.

  • Food is an important factor which determines the alertness and sloth, the worry and calm, the brightness and dullness of man. When the mind is fed on Rajasic food that induces passion and emotion, activity and adventure, it gallops into the world with the plunge of desire! It brings man deeper into the morass of suffering. When it is fed on Tamasic food, which dulls and induces sloth, the mind becomes callous, inert and useless for uplifting man. Every activity of man is dependent on the energy he derives from the intake of food. The success of the Sadhana (spiritual exercises) that one undertakes depends upon the quantity and quality of the food taken by the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant).

  • Be simple in the way you live.  Dress simple, let it be clean and neat.  Eat simple, let it be sathwic.  Pray simple, let it be full of devotion.

    Work simple, let it be full of service.  Speak simple, let it be sweet and soft. Spend time simple, let it be devoid of showiness.  Love all, simple, let it be pure and selfless.

    Call Me, simple,  Let it be from deeper than your heart.

    The simpler you are, the lesser you have to worry about.

    The fewer the desires you have to kill, the lesser the mind strays.

    You unburden yourselves of all your luggage. Possess less of worldly things, things that especially attach you to the body, Learn to give all, And take nothing less than My grace. - BABA

  • Do not allow faith to falter when failure comes to your door. Meet it as a new challenge and triumph. Your faith must not be like your breath; for the breath comes in and goes out. Let your faith be firm, with no alternations of entrances and exits. If faith is one continuous stream, then Grace will be showered on you in one full continuous stream.

  • Nobody can enter college until school education is completed. Several stages have to be passed. So too, we have on the spiritual path, the stages of work, worship, wisdom and sacrifice. Sacrifice may be likened to a ripe fruit falling from a tree, sacrificing its affection and attachment. Work is for the physical level, worship for the mental level and wisdom for the spiritual level. Through Karma (prescribed duties) purity of mind is achieved. Through Upasana (devotional worship) one-pointed concentration of mind is promoted. And through Jnana, Moksha (liberation) is attained. Every one has to pass through these three stages.

  • God is love incarnate. This love shines equally in every human being. The fragrance of a flower remains the same whether it is held in the right hand or the left. Likewise God has no distinctions such as the favoured and the excluded. But narrow-minded persons cannot easily grasp the Divine's equal-mindedness. Everyone apprehends God's powers and attributes according to his own limited conceptions and experiences. Different people, depending on their own likes and dislikes, attribute the differences existing in their own minds to the Divine. God does not make distinctions such as the good and the bad, the likeable and the unwanted, the wicked and the virtuous. The sandalwood tree imparts its fragrance even to the axe that fells it. Likewise, God is ever prepared to love, foster and protect everyone equally.

  • One's body is derived from the flesh and blood of the mother. How much sacrifice is involved in giving birth to a child and rearing that child with continuous care and love beyond description. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the life you lead are all the gift of your parents.

    One's primary duty, therefore, is to please one's parents - only thus can one's debt to them be discharged. Nor is that all, for the debt to one's parents can also only be fully discharged by rendering service also to society.

  • We speak of the sky and the ocean as being blue, but this is incorrect. Neither the sky nor the ocean are blue of themselves.

    It is the vastness of space and the depth of the ocean that produces this illusion of blueness. If you take up some seawater, you will see that it is colourless. Likewise, good and evil depend on our own thoughts and feelings - BABA

  • If you desire that others should honour you, you should honour them too.

    If others must serve you, serve them first. As a matter of fact, No joy can equal the joy of serving others.

    Be like the timepiece; it has no dislikes. It shows the correct time to all who desire to know, irrespective of the person who comes for the information. - BABA

  • You have today in the world, men of wealth, strength, scholarship and virtue. But there are few who have realized the Self. Ignoring the Self, of what avail are all other possessions, which are temporary and evanescent? Of what use is the knowledge about the world, when you are not aware of yourself? That is why Vedanta (Vedic Philosophy) calls upon each one to discover the truth about himself. Self-knowledge is the key to all knowledge. For this, you must approach the right person to teach you the means to discover your true Self. If you are not prepared to undertake this self-enquiry, cultivate faith, if not in God, at least in your own Self. The man who has no faith in himself can have no faith in anybody; he cannot have faith in God. Make Vishwasa (faith) your life breath (Shwasa).

  • When Sri Krishna was being weighed in a balance, all the jewels of Sathyabhama could not balance His weight. Rukmini then came and declared that the mere chanting of the name of Krishna would be equal to His weight. By the additional offer of a leaf, a flower or a little water, the scales will be tilted against Krishna. So saying she placed a Tulasi (Basil) leaf on the scale. And lo! it went down. The Tulasi leaf carried the full weight of Rukmini's boundless love for Krishna. All the jewels of Sathyabhama were of no avail. But Rukmini's invoking the name of Krishna and offering a Tulasi leaf with a love-filled heart titled the scales against Krishna. Such is the power of the Lord's name and a love-filled offering to the Lord. The Lord is not swayed by wealth or scholarship, power or position. Love alone can move Him.

  • "Man should earn wealth through right means, and direct desires towards spiritual liberation. But man ignores righteousness and liberation and struggles to direct desires towards wealth. His sense of values has become topsy-turvy.

    Let righteousness dominate wealth, and liberation dominate worldly desire. Then your life will be a success - BABA

  • Motherhood is the most precious gift of God. Mothers are the makers of a nation's fortune, for they shape the sinews of its soul. These sinews are toughened by two lessons - fear of sin and fondness of virtue.

    As the mother, so the sweetness of culture. As the mother, so the progress of the nation.

    If mothers take care of their families, they will be protecting the nation.
    Mothers should foster in their children, love for truth, righteousness and narrate inspirational stories of great men and women.

  • Become what you are

    Love, Love, Love! Become what you truly are - the embodiments of Love. No matter how others treat you or what they think of you, do not worry. Follow Jesus Christ. Love for your own evolution and not for what others say. Do not imitate others. Cultivate your own life. Follow your own heart, your own opinions, your own ideas, your own will. - Baba  

    Surrender

    Why get agitated? Let me take care of all your business. I shall be the One Who will think about them. I am waiting for nothing else than your surrender to Me. I intervene only when you know how to completely surrender to Me and then you do not have to worry anymore about anything. Say farewell to all fears and discouragement. You demonstrate that you do not trust Me. On the contrary, you must rely blindly on Me.

    Surrender

    To surrender means to turn your thoughts away from troubles, to turn them away from the difficulties you encounter and from all your problems. Leave everything in to My hands saying : Lord, Thy Will be done, Thou think of it. That is to say : Lord, I thank You for You have taken everything in Your hands and You will resolve this for my highest good.

    Surrender

    Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to surrender, that is to say, when you worry that a situation has not had the desired outcome, You thus demonstrate that you don’t believe in My love for you. You will prove that you don’t consider your life to be under My control and that nothing escapes Me.

    Surrender

    Never think: how is this going to end… what is going to happen… if you give in to this temptation you demonstrate that you don’t trust Me. Do you want Me to deal with it, yes or no? Then you must stop being anxious about it! I shall guide you only if you completely surrender to Me and when I must lead you into a different path than the one that you expect. I carry you in My arms.

    Surrender

    What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your obsession, your will to provide for yourselves at any price. I can do so many things when the being, as much in his material necessities as in his spiritual ones turns to Me saying : You think of it, then he closes his eyes and rests quietly. You will receive a lot but only when your prayer will rely fully upon Me. You pray to Me when in pain so that I intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do not rely on Me, but you want Me to adjust to your requests.

    Surrender

    Don’t behave like sick ones who ask a treatment to the doctor, all the time suggesting it to him. Do not do that, but rather, even in sad circumstances say : Lord I praise and thank You for this problem, for this necessity, I pray You to arrange things as You please for this terrestrial and temporal life. You know very well what is best for me.

    Surrender

    Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminishing? Don’t get agitated, close your eyes and tell Me with faith: Thy Will be done. Thou think of it. And when you thus speak. I even accomplish a miracle when necessary. I only think of it when you trust Me totally. I always think of you, but I can only help you completely when you rely fully on Me.
