mean attachment punishment
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
healing sea needs
If diving once does not bring you pearls, you need not therefore conclude that the sea is without them.
fruit god-love ritual
When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.
fall rivers sea
All religions are true. God can be reached by different religions. Many rivers flow by many ways but they fall into the sea. They all are one.
spiritual long hatred
One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
goal earning life-is
The goal of life is not the earning of money, but the service of God.p.114
running vanity water
Bhakti is the one essential thing. To be sure, God exists in all beings. Who, then is a devotee? He whose mind dwells on God. But this is not possible as long as one has egotism and vanity. The water of God's grace cannot collect on the high mound of egotism. It runs down.
love spiritual moving
Those whose spiritual awareness has been awakened never make a false move. They don't have to avoid evil. They are so replete with love that whatever they do is a good action. They are fully conscious that they are not the doer of their actions, but only servants of God.
pain mean confusion
God has revealed to me that only the Paramatman, whom the Vedas describe as the Pure Soul, is as immutable as Mount Sumeru, unattached, and beyond pain and pleasure. There is much confusion in this world of His maya. One can by no means say that 'this' will come after 'that' or 'this' will produce 'that'.
errors world care
If there are errors in other religions, that is none of our business. God, to whom the world belongs, takes care of that.
inspirational-life want verify
Whoever wants God intensely, finds Him. Go and verify it in your own life.
determination grace breeze
The breeze of grace is always blowing; set your sail to catch that breeze.
ignorance attachment bliss
Meditate upon the Knowledge and Bliss Eternal , and you will also have bliss. The Bliss indeed is eternal, only it is covered and obscured by ignorance. The less your attachment is towards the senses, the more will be your love towards God .
wise men littles
Common men talk bagfuls of religion but do not practise even a grain of it. The wise man speaks a little, even though his whole life is religion expressed in action.
