Message For the Day…” What is True Happiness ” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Every individual, every family, every society and every nation seeks peace in all possible ways. People are perpetually in quest of happiness. But what is the happiness they seek? Is it worldly happiness and transient pleasures? These cannot confer true happiness. Only spiritual happiness can give true happiness. Why have people lost happiness? It is because they are afflicted with insatiable desires. These desires are the cause of various maladies. It is only by limiting desires and thereby eliminating the diseases arising from them that one can secure peace. Every person should strive in every way to achieve peace as the most desirable objective. Embodiments of Love! There is no greater happiness than contentment (Santhosham). There is no penance superior to peace of mind.

“Explain Your Anger…Don’t Express It …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Angry people tend to jump to—and act on—conclusions, and some of those conclusions can be very inaccurate. The first thing to do if you’re in a heated discussion is slow down and think through your responses. Don’t say the first thing that comes into your head, but slow down and think carefully about what you want to say. At the same time, listen carefully to what the other person is saying and take your time before answering.
Personally , according to me good communication is very important in any relationship-whether it is with your spouse, your parents, your children , your siblings or your friends. If you take the time and effort to listen to what the other person has to say and understand his doubts – a lot of problems can be solved before they even rise. A lot of us believe in themselves so much that we think we can never be wrong and we start arguing with people just to prove that they are wrong.
I talk to my mom in India every evening and when the sunsets over here- she sees sunrise at her end.. So strange and So true.. We both can go on and on with the argument – she trying to convince me that sun is just rising — and I trying to prove that the sun is setting .. We don’t realize in an argument sometimes that the other person is right keeping in mind her experiences from life and the circumstances that made her understand those kind of situations and facts and at the same time we are also right depending where we are standing. Expressing your anger or having mindless arguments over such matters will just drift us away from our loved ones and give rise to the negative energy.
May Sai give us the wisdom to understand other people and learn to communicate with them in a proper manner  .May He help us to realize that anger and arguments will never solve any problems. They just give rise to ego and make our lives complicated..  
 
 
Quote of BABA:

 Look at me with undivided attention; so will I look at you. This is the only truth that my guru had taught me.

Message For The Day…Love All and Serve All…

NatarajanLeave a comment

You are under the mistaken notion that you are rendering service to others. You should give up such a feeling. Only then does the service you perform become real service in the strict sense of the term. Service does not merely mean helping others. The best way to love God is to love all and serve all. Your acts of service should be suffused with the spirit of love. Without the positive aspect of love, all service you render becomes negative in nature. All bodies are like bulbs and love is the main switch. Only when the main switch is pressed, will the bodies radiate light and happiness to one and all. You are switching off the main switch and trying to enjoy happiness. It is impossible! Hrid + Daya(compassion) = Hridaya (heart). Your heart should be filled with compassion. All your activities should be suffused with love. There is no strength superior to love.

Message For the Day…” What is True Love ?”…

Today there are many who are highly educated. But what help are they rendering to society? Practically nothing! They are acquiring degrees for the sake of earning money. Modern students are taking to the wrong path in the name of love. They do not understand what true love is. People often use the word saying, “I love you, I love you.” You should be prepared to sacrifice for others all that is dear to you. That is true love. Love is God, live in love. Only then will you be able to understand the true nature of love. Do not misinterpret love in a worldly sense. Love is the gift of God to every individual. It should be utilized for the service of society. You must share your love with others through constructive service. Only then you will have the right to be a part of society.

Message For the Day…” Realise Brotherhood Of Man & Fatherhood of God ” …

NatarajanLeave a comment

What is true humanness? You should treat your fellowmen as your own brothers and sisters. You deserve to be called a human being only when you cultivate the spirit of unity. Where there is no unity, there you find enmity and hatred. Consequently, the principle of love is lost altogether. Your foremost duty is to share your love with others. Only then can you realise the dictum: ‘Brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God’. You may or may not believe in the fatherhood of God, but you must have faith in the brotherhood of man; practise it and experience bliss therefrom. It is only when we share our love with our fellowmen, can we experience Divinity.

Message For The Day…Love is God and God is Love …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Consider love as your life and truth as your breath. There is an intimate and inseparable relationship between love and truth. Today people use the word love without actually knowing its meaning. As they do not know the value and meaning of love, it is trivialized. People are under the mistaken notion that worldly and physical attachment is love and consider such love as large as life. True love will reign supreme only when you get rid of selfishness and develop the spirit of sacrifice. Love is God, God is love. But you are craving for worldly love which is bereft of life. You should aspire for Divine Love which is truly your very life. True spiritual discipline lies in connecting your love with Divine Love. Your life will be sanctified when you have such steady and selfless Divine Love.

Message For The Day..” Individual. Atma and Consciousness are One and the Same …

Natarajan1 Comment

The Atmic consciousness that permeates every living being is referred to as Brahman. When it is individualised, it is called conscience. It is also referred to as Jiva. When the Atmic consciousness is encased in a body, it becomes an individual. The individual, the Atma and consciousness – all the three are one and the same. People think they are different because they are given different names. Remove the names, there is only one Consciousness in every individual. Supposing you name this object (showing a handkerchief) as Atma. It is a handkerchief in common parlance. I can call it threads or cotton. But essentially it is an object. Whatever name I may give, it refers to the same one object. There is only one Atmic consciousness in every individual. It has no form; it only assumes different forms.

Message For The Day…”Any Activity done with Business mind will not Make You Happy”…

Natarajan6 Comments

Love is the eternal principle that is present in all. But people are expressing their love for selfish purposes. You should eschew selfishness and self-interest, and develop the spirit of sacrifice with courage and conviction. How can you become courageous? It is possible only when you practice righteousness (Dharma). Many noble persons have sacrificed their lives for the cause of Dharma and never craved for name and fame. Sacrifice (Thyaga) is true Yoga. You too should practice thisYoga and become deserving of Divine Grace. Any activity done with a business-mind will not make you happy. Enquire within yourself and develop the spirit of sacrifice. Only then there will be a transformation of heart. So long as you do not give up selfishness, you cannot achieve anything worthwhile in life. You should cast aside selfishness and cultivate selflessness.

Message For the Day…” Remove Ego. Prideand Greed from Your Heart “…

NatarajanLeave a comment

To realize the truth of an Advent (Avatar), the aspirant must culture the mind as the farmer prepares the field. The farmer clears thorny undergrowth, wild creepers and tenuous roots from the field. Then, he ploughs the land, waters it and the seeds are sown. The seedlings and tender plants are then guarded from pests. To prevent destructions by goats and cattle, he erects a fence. So too, the aspirant must remove egoism, pride and greed from the heart. Truth, Repetition of the Lord’s Name and Meditation refer to ploughing and levelling. Love is the water that must flow into the field of your heart to make it fertile, soft and rich. Lord’s Name is the seed and devotion is the sprout. Protect the seeds from the cattle ofKama and Krodha (desire and anger) with the fence of discipline. Then you will reap bliss as the harvest.
