Tuesday, September 2, 2025
Just as the body is an organic whole and any ailment affecting any part of the body is felt as a pain by the whole organism, people should feel that anyone's suffering is their own. Any relief done to the other is a help done to oneself.

You can see that you breathe in and breathe out. You cannot live without breathing. When you take the breath in, you experience the sound “So”, and when you breathe out, you experience the sound “hum”. In this way, one’s breathing signifies “Sohum (That I am, or God I am).”

Love is everywhere and God is everywhere. Hence, love all. The more you love others, the more your reputation will go up in society. If you commit a mistake or indulge in an evil deed, others will try to imitate you. Hence, be good, do good and see good. This is the way to God.

Give up the idea that you are the doer and the beneficiary. You can do this by dedicating both the deed and its fruit to the Lord. Then, no sin can affect you, for you are not the doer and the deed must be holy. Like oil on the tongue, collyrium on the eye, the lotus leaf on water, the deed is with you but not by you. Whatever you do or hear or see, remain unaffected, devoid of deeds, innocent from listening or seeing.

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
