Impulses (vasanas) are the cause of all unhappiness. If they are absent, the mind is pellucid and pure. If they are present, purity is ruined; they are obstacles in the path of truth, atma, and immortality. A mind free from impulses is transmuted and is no longer the mind.
Saturday, August 9, 2025
Impulses (vasanas) operate subtly and powerfully. Just as the seed of a tree contains within itself the trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, and fruits, so too, all desire lies dormant in impulse. Impulses are the cause of all unhappiness.

God is pleased by inner feelings not outward display. He sees the feeling behind your actions. The world is interested in outward show, but God is interested in your feelings. Hence, purify your feelings in the first instance.

The one principle that you have to hold and develop is that of love. When love dominates, there is no room for hatred. You must sow the seed of love in loveless hearts. Water it with love. Let love flow in a flood and reach all. You have to cultivate this pure, firm, and unselfish love.

Never brood over the past. When grief overpowers you, do not recollect similar incidents in your past experience and add to the sum of your grief, focus on incidents that made you happy instead. Draw consolation and strength from such memories and raise yourself above the surging waters of sorrow.

Aspire to become good, not great. Ravana was great, while Rama was good. Why? Rama put into practice His innate noble qualities. Ravana also had noble qualities in him, but he did not make use of them. Greatness is like a passing cloud. You occupy an exalted position, you earn a lot of money, but nothing remains with you. Earn a good name for yourself. People should respect you because of your goodness. Only goodness gives true happiness.

God's love cannot be acquired with wealth; neither with education nor by the various spiritual exercises one undertakes. It is possible only by offering pure, unconditional, and unselfish love for love's sake; only then can one achieve divinity.
Sunday, July 27, 2025
The awareness of the Atma will guide you in both the outgoing and inward paths; it will not block action but fill it with purpose and meaning. It will build up faith and moral life; it will take you to the realm of deliverance along the road of renunciation of the fruit of action, and not renunciation of action itself.
Saturday, July 26, 2025

I shall tell you today four directives for sanctifying your lives and purifying your mind, so that you can contact the God within you. Give up the company of the wicked, welcome the chance to be among the good, do good deeds day and night, and discriminate between the eternal and the impermanent.

Divinity is the same in everyone, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Sikh, or a Christian. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. Develop unity, chant the divine name. What an exalted position the country would attain if all its people were to chant the divine name in unity!
