- Violence
If a man uses violence under provocation, he is bringing himself down to the level of the one who has provoked him.
To be violent is to show weakness.
- Free will is God within
Are we victims of the materialistic age, or are we manufacturers of it?
We do have the liberty of expressing our own nature.
That free will is God within and we must not surrender it - not to anyone.
It is very easy to blame society or the age - that is cooking up a lame excuse to cover up our own fears.
- Routine
When intelligently practised, routine spiritual practices help us greatly. They become like rivers of spiritual light.
We are not same any two days!
And hence the Sadhana assumes fresher significance every day.
On the contrary, if we give up Sadhana altogether, looking for something spectacular, our spiritual personality becomes stagnant.
And, like a stagnant pool of water, it does not stay in the same condition but soon becomes dirty and filthy.
Life cannot be stagnant.
Even spiritual practices can become monotonous, boring, and therefore unspiritual.
So be vigilant and try to feel the presence of God in everything you do.
- Purnamadah
Take a bar of gold - beat it into ornaments.
Out of the bar of gold they have come, as full as the bar of gold.
Even when the gold has been used up in ornaments, it is all there.
- Real
The Sage is awake. He is not aware of sin or sorrow.
Who is he going to serve or teach?
The son is asleep or delirious.
He shouts: "Father, there is the tiger!" But father does not shoot, He knows it is not real.
