Om Namah Venkatesaya
- Give
The devotee who becomes aware of the existence of the division created by the mind and the ego-sense practises Bhakti.
Such practice takes the form of ritualistic worship, repetition of a mantra, singing of hymns, study of scriptures or service of the Holy
Ones, depending on the nature of the devotee.
- Love
When I am full of love and devotion for God, happiness flows towards me from all directions.
When this is not there, then I am not really devoted.
- Meditate
We all need His Guiding Light - It is there all the time.
It is we who in foolishness turn our face away, and yet such moments lend meaning and value to life when we look again at the light.
- Give
There are people who are always complaining that they do not find a person worthy of helping or giving to.
They will never find one!
Does God give us food only because we deserve it?
Does the earth produce food only to be eaten by the deserving?
Which one of us truly deserves all the blessings one enjoys?
- Realise
The sage truly experiences and expresses the Bliss that is the nature of the Self.
He rejoices in the happiness of all, feeling that the one Self alone dwells in all.
He has returned to the Source.
