Message For The Day….Namasmarana is the Best Antidote for Anger and Sorrow….

NatarajanLeave a comment

All of you are already spiritual aspirants (Sadhakas) or bound to be one soon! It is said, Moksha lies in the sukshma – Liberation can be achieved by subtle means. Few important steps for you: Treat others in the same way, you would like them to treat you. Never brood over the past; when grief overpowers you, do not recollect similar incidents from your past to add to your grief. Recollect, rather, incidents when you were happy! Draw consolation and strength from them. Raise yourself above the surging waters of sorrow. Women are called ‘weak’ because they yield to anger and sorrow much more easily than men; so I would ask them to take extra pains to overcome these two. Namasmarana (chanting the Lord’s name) is the best antidote for this and if you take it up, the Lord will come to your rescue and instill the faith that everything is God’s Will and teach that you have no right to exult or despair.

Message For The Day…Atma and Gnana are one and the Same….

NatarajanLeave a comment

To know the Indweller (Kshetrajna) you have to acquire the Supreme Knowledge (Jnana). This transcends every other kind of knowledge which is related to the physical and the phenomenal. No one can understand the Divine Self (Atma) through worldly knowledge. You need a diamond to cut a diamond. To understand the Divine Soul (Atma), you have to acquire Knowledge of the Spirit (Atmajnana). All the knowledge gathered by the analysis of physical objects or through the senses is only a form of ignorance. It has three elements: What is known, what is to be known and who is the knower. These three are aspects of the mind. Only that is Jnana which is known when the mind is eliminated. Atma and Jnana are one, though called by different names. True Awareness is Jnana.

Quote of BABA:

When the repeated contemplation becomes perfect and the difference between the meditation and meditator  disappears, then the mind becomes calm and steady, like the lamp on the windless night.

Message For The Day….A True Guru is like A Lotus in Full Bloom …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Even in selecting a Guru, use your discrimination. Not all clouds are rain bearing. A true Guru will be able to attract His seekers from afar, merely by His personality. He need not be talked about in glowing terms. His presence will be felt and aspirants will rush towards Him like bees towards a lotus in full bloom. Take up the path of spiritual practice, very enthusiastically. Half-hearted halting steps will not yield fruit. It is like cleaning a slushy area by slowly moving a stream of water. If the currents in the stream flow slowly, the slush cannot be cleared. The stream of water must flow full and fast, driving everything before it, so that the slush is cleared completely–

Message For The Day….Hold On to HIM …You Will Never Slip ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

This microphone before Me, must have been made by someone, is it not? The creator is not visible or known to you presently, but you have no doubts of this person’s existence. Besides, you are confident that this person understands and knows fully well all the components, characteristics, features and effective functioning of this microphone. So too, there must be a Creator for this Universe and He must be know all about it. This Universe is composed of the five elements, and He is their Manipulator, fully aware of their subtle characteristics and properties. That Creator is your Indweller (Kshetrajna), who knows His Field (Kshethra). Hold on to Him and live your lives; you will not slip. Build your activities on that basis, your career will not cave in. You will develop courage and faith in yourself and in your destiny.

Message For The Day….Our Mind To be Fixed On Sathya and Nithya Thro Viveka …

NatarajanLeave a comment

The life principle (Jeevathathwa) is like the grain covered in the husk of delusion (Maya), as that rice is enveloped in the paddy. The husk (Maya) has to be removed. The grain (Jeevathathwa) has to be boiled and made soft and assimilated so that it might add to health and strength. The softened rice can be compared to the Supreme Soul (Paramathma). The mind should be employed in this process. It has to be fixed in the Truth (Sathya) and the Ever-lasting (Nithya). To remove the husk, Discrimination (Viveka) is an effective instrument. Develop the power of discrimination and find out, which is beneficial, and which is not. Seek the light always – be full of confidence and zest. Never yield to despair, for it has never produced any results!

Message for The Day…How to Reach Dharma kshetra….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Every being is a pilgrim towards Dharmakshetra (Righteous land), which is also the abode of peace. But, on the way, he or she is led into the by-lanes and alleys of objective pleasure by the senses, to which the person becomes a slave. People are eager to know about all kinds of trivialities like the details of others’ lives, other places, etc., but they have no keenness to know their own origin. People are deeply sunk in ignorance about their source and substance, their goals and destiny. You are the inheritor of unlimited wealth and fortune, yet you feel like a poor man (pauper). Remove this boundary of ego within your mind – you will then recognize the vastness of yourself.
