Message For the Day…” Which is the Right Path … ” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

One’s selfish needs have to be sacrificed. There must be constant efforts to do good to others. Your desire should be to establish the welfare of the world. With all these feelings at heart, you must meditate on the Lord. This is the right path. If great men and those in authority are thus engaged in the service of humanity and in promoting the welfare of the world, the thieves of passion, hatred, pride, jealousy, envy and conceit will not invade the minds of common people; the values such as Right Conduct, Mercy, Truth, Love, Knowledge and Wisdom will be safe from harm. The six internal foes called the Arishadvargas can be uprooted only by the teachings of great souls, love for God, knowledge of the Lord and the company of the holy and the great.

Message For the Day…” Be a Ship and Not a Sheep ‘…

NatarajanLeave a comment

One should realise the infinite powers latent in oneself. It is these powers which have enabled mankind to invent the most wonderful kinds of machinery. Humans are, therefore, more valuable than the most precious things in the world. It is human beings who imparts value to things by the changes they make in them, as in the case of diamonds or a work of art. In the spiritual field, humans are enjoined at the very outset to know oneself. One should not be a slave of the senses. Nor should one follow others like sheep. ‘Be a ship and not sheep.’ A ship serves to carry others and cross the Ocean. The one who pursues the spiritual path not only benefits himself but promotes the well-being of others. Consider the body as a vessel, wisdom as a rope ‘and use the vessel to draw the nectar of Divinity from the well of spirituality. Not otherwise can immortality be attained.

” It is Just a Slip…. Not a Fall …” A Lesson To All of us …

Natarajan1 Comment

 

 

 

 

We’re often told that it’s not about how we fall in life, it’s whether we get back up and keep fighting. Because everyone will stumble from time to time, and it’s those who preserve through the trials and tribulations that have the success so many of us crave. But as we all know, it can be truly hard to rise up again after falling so hard; and it may even seem impossible. I guess that’s why life is so hard. It separates those who truly want something, from those that don’t.

That’s why this young girl by all accounts should have just given up. After all, when competing against the best athletes in the country, there’s no margin for error, especially the kind she makes. But what happened instead serves as an example to us all.

 

Well if that isn’t a shot in the arm to go out and reach for the impossible, I don’t know what is.

Please share with a friend who may have stumbled in the past, and needs your support to get back on the winning path.

Message For the Day…” Bheema on the Left and Arjuna on Right … ” What does it mean ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Dharmaraja always had Bheema to his left and Arjuna to his right. What is the significance? Bheema is remembered as a person of physical strength. Arjuna is known for his purity and valour. Do not take it that Dharmaraja was merely surrounded by people with physical strength and valour. Dharmaraja was always upright in practicing right conduct and moral principles. Hence, Bhima too always obeyed him and never misused his physical strength anywhere. Arjuna personified purity and possessed various powers and capabilities. He also won the friendship of Lord Krishna and various honours from Indra and others. Unlike the present day honours awarded by various Governments, Arjuna wore purity and valour as his decorations. Because purity and valour were on either sides, righteousness prevailed during the rule of Dharmaraja or Yudishtra.

Message For the Day…” Virtues are the Backbones of Life …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

In the world today, knowledge falls into three categories. (1) In terms of daily life, there is factual knowledge based on perception. To treat facts as truth and fiction as untruth is practical knowledge. (2) In the second category are those who regard the phenomenal world as real and treat all that cannot be seen or heard as unreal or non-existent. They regard Nature as real and God as non-existent. (3) The third category consists of those who make no distinction between one thing and another and hold the view that the whole universe is a projection of the Divine and is permeated by the Divine. This is spiritual knowledge. Doubtless, knowledge of the phenomenal world is necessary. But one should go beyond it to know the Eternal and Unchanging Reality. Education is not the be-all and end-all of life; tt is only a part of it. Virtues are the backbone of life and spiritual path is the only means of cultivating it.

Message For the Day…” Don’t Search Peace Elsewhere…It is Inside Your Heart …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

You cannot find peace outside. It is within your heart, so search within. The heart is always filled with peace, love and bliss. It is the basis of all the sacred qualities, such as compassion, love, tolerance etc. All that emanates from your heart is sacred. It is attachment to the body that is the cause of all the evil qualities, such as desire, anger, greed, pride, and jealousy. People undertake many spiritual practices in an attempt to sanctify their lives but, without purity of heart, these will be of no avail. First purify your heart. Do not give any scope for wicked feelings such as desire, anger and greed. In the spiritual path, these three are the worst enemies.

 

Message For the Day..From Swami Sathya Sai…

NatarajanLeave a comment

The basic cause for the occurrence of feelings like hatred, jealousy and anger is that your human body is constituted by the five elements. As long as the body remains, it will be subject to these emotions. For instance, the experience derived through the senses and the mind occurs when you are awake. When you are sleeping, they are not present. During your sleep, even the mind is absent; you are unconscious even of your breath. In the dream state, you are not even aware of the life process. It is clear that experiences in the dream state are real in that state. There are no dreams in the waking state and there are no perceptions of the waking state in the dream state. In both situations the ‘I’ is the same, only the states are different. Hence reality or Truth is that ‘I’ (Divine Soul) which remains in all the states, and in past, present and future.

Message For the Day…” Which is Your True Freedom…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Youngsters feel that they need more freedom, and they dislike sense control. They think that they should be able to go where they like and live as they please, without any restrictions. Birds and animals enjoy such freedom. There is no rule whatsoever for monkeys and dogs. They wander where they want and do what they please whenever they wish. What is the specialty of human beings? A human being is one who understands what ‘Sveccha’ truly means (generally translated as ‘One’s will’). Sva (Self) + Ichcha (Desires or thoughts) = Sveccha. Living with thoughts relating to the Divine Self (Atma) is Sweccha. Following the demands of the body is not Sweccha. After discriminating good and bad, and right and wrong, you must exercise control over the body, observe the thoughts entertained by the mind and follow that which gives satisfaction to your Divine Nature. That is true freedom.
