Message For the Day… ” World Today Needs Practical Knowledge ..Not Bookish Knowledge …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The bookish knowledge that many feverishly acquire is relevant only for the day of the exam. As you enter your professions armed with this knowledge, you will soon discover that you only have superficial knowledge on any subject and your general knowledge is almost zero. Without general knowledge and practical wisdom, you cannot discriminate. World today needs practical knowledge. Water is formed from two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen. You can prove this in the laboratory. But when you sit for lunch, do you mix two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen to drink water? By sipping just a drop, you can even comment on the purity of the water and its taste. Thus discrimination and general knowledge is very essential to make sure your daily life and behavior does not have any lapses. You must experience the enjoyable life in the right way at the right time.

Message For The Day…” True Devotion is Free From Selfishness…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Universe is a university in which everyone is a student. While you are free to choose any subject you like and acquire degrees in a regular college, in the spiritual field everyone must complete the basic course of the five special subjects and obtain the degree of Divine Love. They are described as the ‘5Ds’ – Dedication, Devotion, Discipline, Discrimination and Determination. Only those who have mastered the five ‘Ds’ are qualified to receive God’s Love. Devotion is not merely singing bhajans or performing puja. True devotion is free from selfishness of all sorts and must not be proclaimed or demonstrated. It is an expression of love from within. You must constantly and lovingly contemplate on God, worship Him and do penance for Him. Service to the Lord is the highest expression of devotion. There is nothing that is not attainable through loving service to the Divine.

Message For the Day…” Hearts Devoid of Love and Gratitude are Indeed Barren …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

God has gifted to every one of you the expensive and precious heart. It is enough if there is even a little bit of pure, untainted eternal and selfless love in your heart. If you have the slightest gratitude for having the gift of life it is sufficient to redeem your life. Hearts devoid of love and gratitude are indeed barren. Aspire to cultivate this valuable and precious gift of the heart. Many pray, “Oh God, give me the energy and capability to experience Divinity and live in accordance with your command”. You pray, thinking that you do not have that strength. This is incorrect. Each and every one of you are already bestowed with that strength! You do not need anything more. You are unable to appreciate it because your vision is not focused on that. You must search and enquire within you as to what your aspirations and goals are. Then sincerely wor k towards experiencing it.

Message For the Day…” You Will Be Successful With The Blessings of Your Mother…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Abraham Lincoln learnt to speak truth and conduct himself with self-respect and dignity, unafraid of his financial position, from the lap of his mother. When little Abraham shared with his mother that he was disrespected and felt ashamed in the midst of his friends for wearing old and shabby clothes, she told him that he need not feel so. She counselled him that poverty, though viewed in poor light by others, will eventually help him gain respect. Lincoln later in his life declared, “You may disrespect me, but truth cannot be disrespected. It will emerge triumphant!” He proceeded on the path of truth and self-confidence taught by his mother and became the President of the United States of America. In fact, anyone who has the blessing of their mother will emerge very successful.

Message For the Day…”Peel Away the Skin of of Your Ego and Remove the Seeds of Evil Thoughts …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The fruit of love is present in each and every person’s life. The only task to be done to experience the fruit is to remove the outer skin. Once you peel the skin of the fruit, also remove the bitter seeds within it. Then you can extract the sweet juice, partake it and discard the pulp. Understand that God has given you this body only to relish the sweetness of Love. Peel away the skin of ego and ostentatiousness. Remove all the seeds of evil intentions, thoughts and deeds. Discard the pulp of possession and attachment. Then what remains is the sweet juice of love. All of you are farmers. You must engage in spiritual practices to cultivate your heart. Is there any use for an uncultivated land? Without wasting your life and keeping the land barren, focus on cultivating your heart to enjoy the sweetness of the Divine.

Message For The Day…” Realize That Your Peace Depends On the Peace of Those Around You …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

God is love and He is pleased with the pure hearted who love Him 100%. Make every effort to experience the indweller (Dehi) within the body (deha). The Dehi (Divine Soul) within you is immortal with no birth or death. Don’t forget that you are alive due to His Grace. You must necessarily do your bit to take care of your body without being attached to it. Always keep in view the Dehi within, connect with Him and discharge your duties. At the end of every day or every meeting, pray, “May all the beings in all the Worlds be happy” (Samasta Loka Sukhino Bhavanthu). Realize that the individual peace depends on the peace of those around you. Therefore always pray for the wellbeing and peace of everyone in the Universe.

Message For the Day…” What is Sacrifice …? “

NatarajanLeave a comment

The wellbeing of countries and even the universe depends upon morality. Without morality, nations will be ruined. There may be many people who use education and influence to earn money, but truly great people have upheld the highest morality in their lives. You must be prepared to sacrifice. Sacrifice does not mean relinquishing your possessions. It means working really hard to earn a good name in the society you live in and bringing a good name to where you were raised. Your good name will last longer, and it will be eternal and permanent only with sacrifice. Scriptures explain the supremacy of sacrifice declaring, ‘sacrifice alone leads one to immortality’ (Tyagenaike Amrutathwa Manuashuhu).

Message For the Day…” Our Heart is Like a Piece of Land to be Cultivated with Care and Love…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

To cultivate a piece of land, the farmer works really long and hard. First, he has to soften the entire piece of land. He must then plough it, sow the seeds and water it regularly. After that, the crop has to grow to a certain stage, and to aid that, he needs to use fertilizers and remove the weeds at regular intervals. Only after all this, will he be able to bring home the food grains. That is exactly what we have to do with our hearts too. The heart is like a piece of land to be cultivated, and we must cultivate it with utmost care and concern. It must be watered with the water of love. Using the plough of enquiry, you must plough it and sow the seed of the Name of God, and then guard it very vigilantly using the fence of caution and care. You must protect it with egolessness, then you will receive the fruit of love.

Message For the Day…” Respect and Revere Your Parents…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Humility alone makes you deserving and affluent, and eventually helps you attain Divinity. You must also, always respect and revere your parents and consider the education and all the facilities they have provided as their gift to you. Many parents suffer a great deal of stress and strain to provide these to you. At times, they may even fast to pay your fees and bills. Scriptures clearly declare, ‘Mother is God, Father is God, Teacher is God, Guests are Divine, Teacher is Divine (Mathru Devo Bhava, Pithru Devo Bhava, Athithi Devo Bhava, and Acharya Devo Bhava). Your good character will be understood only when you are humble and respect your parents. Many people have lived these values in an exalted manner. Those with humility and obedience to parents will achieve great success in all spheres of life.
