SHIVA AND LOVE

"God cannot seperate Himself from us. This is because God is our Life."

"Our energy and God's energy are the same."

"We are inwardly already one with God."

"All motion begins in God and ends in God."

"God Shiva is Love: both immanent and transcendent, both the creator and the creation."

"God is both manifest and unmanifest, dual and nondual, within us and outside of us."

"God Shiva is all and in all, one without a second, the Supreme Being and only Absolute Reality."

"We are all beautiful children of God."

"God is the Life of our life."

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

MY PRAYERS TO YOU MY LORD

This is my prayer to thee, my lord- strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart. Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows. Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service. Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might- Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifle. And give me the strength to surrender

Where the mind is without fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

FROM THE BHAGAVAD GITA

PRIDE,ARROGANCE,CONCEIT,ANGER,HARSHNESS AND IGNORANCE----

THESE QUALITIES BELONG TO THOSE OF DEMONIAC NATURE.

THESE DEMONIAC QUALITIES MAKE FOR BONDAGE.

THOSE WHO ARE DEMONIAC DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS TO BE DONE AND WHAT IS NOT TO BE DONE.

NEITHER CLEANLINESS NOR PROPER BEHAVIOUR NOR TRUTH IS FOUND IN THEM.

HABIT OF DILLY DALLYING

Some aspirants have got a habit of wandering aimlessly. They cannot stick to one place even for a week. The wandering habit must be checked. They want to see new places, new faces and want to talk with new people. A rolling stone gathers no moss. A Sadhak should stick to one place at least for a period of twelve years (one Tapas period). Sadhana suffers if one wanders constantly. Those who want to do rigorous Tapas or Sadhana and study must stay in one place. Too much walking produces weakness and fatigue.

THE CORE OF CONSCIOUS SPIRITUAL EFFORT

So vehement, self-assertive and rebellious is the egoistic self of man that it refuses to be changed from its vicious state to state of virtue, goodness and saintliness. It is a great blunder to think that the mere act of renunciation is a sufficient achievement in the spiritual life. The eradication of egoism in all its aggressive forms comprises the very core of spirituality and all spiritual Sadhanas.
