The Guru is the one who leads you to the light of the Divine (Govind). So it is right. The Guru has always held the highest position in our country since the ages. It is a very unique pedestal and we need to preserve and honour the dignity of the Guru.
There are multiple ways and beliefs to attain the Divine, and being able to accept and honour them all is what makes one truly great and noble.
By sharing your misery, it doesn't reduce. By not sharing your joy, it reduces. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with Tom, Dick, or Harry that just increases the problem. Share your joy with everybody.
When we get rid of all negativity and become hollow and empty from within, then a divine harmony starts to play and resonate from our being.
Each one of us is like a flute. When we get rid of all negativity and become hollow and empty from within, then a divine harmony starts to play and resonate from our being.
The Guru is not the (physical) body. The Guru is the Divine light that resides within the body; the Guru is love.
All good qualities that you see in the world today come from the divine. And bad qualities or habits come from an ignorance of the divine.
When you feel totally contented, that moment you are with the divine. And that is the time when you are in the moment, in the 'now', because 'now' means 'total contentment'.
When you have a big goal in your life, small desires will not trouble you. If thoughts of greed or possessing more and more bother you, be greedy for the highest. And what is the highest? The divine.
Without having faith in oneself you cannot move a step forward in life. Second, without having faith in society, you will not be able to live and co-exist in society. And thirdly, without having faith in the Divine, life can never be complete. It is important to have all these three kinds of faith in life.
Move on in life with the confidence that you will be given everything in abundance, and that you are being protected by the Divine. There is a divine armor around you that is protecting you; you have nothing to worry about. Know this and keep walking ahead in life with satisfaction, confidence, joy, patience, fullness and faith.
You’re part of Divine and you are beautiful, very good human being. This identity must be brought forth, first and foremost.
Contentment is what makes you divine; happiness makes you divine; skillfulness makes you divine. For all these divine qualities to blossom and manifest in you, Lord Krishna advises – You must engage in Abhyasa Yoga (regular practice).
If you find that there is ego, then let it be. Even ego belongs to the divine. Don’t try to surrender, don’t struggle. If you say that I have surrendered my ego, then it is bigger ego. It’s like saying, "I am the most humble person in this entire world!" That doesn’t show humility. Just be natural.
How long can you go on pleasing everyone? Just have a deep sense of contentment from within; from your soul. Walk towards the Divine. When you realize that the Divine loves and adores you so much, then you will not need anything else.
Just drop this want to be liked by everyone. As long as you are the favourite and beloved of the Divine, that is good enough. That’s it!
Divine love is not somewhere far, it is with me right here. If we have this faith, then we can never feel separate from Divine love. I have come to tell you that you can never be far from God. If you understand this today then I will consider my work done.
When you know you are part of the divine plan, you stop demanding. Then you know everything is being done for you. You are taken care of. Patience in the mind and dynamism in action is the right formula.
