CLARITY IS POWER

want to surrender, but I want to intellectually satisfy myself before I surrender. People say that if you use your intelligence, then it is not surrender. How can you surrender without understanding what you are doing?

VOICE OF LOVE without a questioning intelligence, materialistic progress is not possible. With a questioning intelligence, spiritual progress is not possible. Use your intelligence to progress in the without, but subordinate that very intelligence for progress in the within. Arjuna too kept asking questions. However, though Arjuna’s questions were to Krishna, he never questioned Krishna. Ask questions to the Master. Don’t question the Master.

A father and son had to cross the road. The traffic was heavy. The father stretched out his hand and asked his son to hold on to a finger. The father took two steps forward and the son too moved forward. Then he moved a little to the side, and so did the son. Then the father ran five steps forward, and the son ran along. The father was then forced to go back a few steps, and the son did so too. Finally, they crossed the road. In this entire process of crossing the road, the responsibility of making the right decisions was with the father. What was it to the son – just a game of surrender! He trusted the finger he was holding on to and everything else happened. He didn’t have to carry the burden of responsibility; instead, he enjoyed the freedom of surrender. If his intelligence had interfered with the intelligence of the hand that was leading him, crossing the road would have been a miserable process, not a peaceful one.

In face, the very essence of surrender is transference of responsibility. Surrender is to know – it is not my will, but thy will that will be done. Surrender is about finding that finger to which you subordinate your intelligence. I can understand your apprehension – How can I trust someone in a world of so many spiritual frauds?

Fortunately, surrender is not a decision. It is a happening. Keep the seeker in you alive. Seek with all your heart. Let there be devotion in your seeking. When you are ready, your teacher will appear. A Master-seeker relationship is not a matter of judgment. It is a matter of chemistry. It is a spontaneous reaction. You will lose yourself to that very presence. The drop of water, in dropping into the ocean and merging with the ocean, loses its individual identity, but becomes the ocean in the process. Surrender is the subordination of Arjuna’s intelligence, so the Krishna’s intelligence can pave the way. Surrender isn’t given up. It is a go up.

When you find that presence to which surrender can happen, a question on surrender, or a question on how to surrender will no longer arise in your mind. It will all happen. From then on, that presence will prevail in you, around you and will always be with you.

Those of you who have already experienced surrender don’t need this answer. For those who haven’t experienced surrender, this answer may not make much sense. After all, knowledge cannot create an experience. It can only validate an experience.

 

 


How do you deal with differences in a relationship?

VOICE OF LOVE   If you want peace in a relationship, you must understand that no other human being can ever be tailor-made to your expectations. In every relationship, there will be qualities in the other person that you will like and qualities that you won’t. Appreciate the qualities you like and accept the qualities you dislike. With these two navigators of appreciation and acceptance, great relationships can be built.

 

 

Golden Message No.2

MIND WARS

When you are called home, when you are somehow struck by the absolutely mysterious and irrevocable desire to know the truth of who you are, then you must be willing to put aside every story of separation.  Every story of separation is a story of war.

Human beings have been making war in every culture for a very long time.  Culture is a reflection of the individual mind, and the individual mind is a reflection of the cultural mind.  Since you are reading this, I assume you are interested in peace in your own mind. You are not waiting for them to make peace.  This is good news, because war is fought to get others to do it our way so that we can live in peace.  When you stop waiting for them, and instead shift your attention to your own mind, then you can recognize the tendency toward war in your own mind, the tendencies of totalitarianism, hate, revenge, and holding on.   And you can recognize the suffering that those tendencies continue to deliver.

Somehow, in the face of it all, you find you want peace. You are sick and tired of the war within your own mind. You may even express it in a conscious prayer, a plea for help, for understanding, for deliverance, for grace.

Grace is here now; it is knocking at your door. You have a chance to be at peace in this moment. You only need to accept the invitation of your own heart, right now, regardless of outer or inner circumstances, and let yourself sink into the peace of your innermost being.

Unless, all of us take the responsibility for our own inner peace, the wars will continue.  We cannot wait for someone else to forgive us so that we can then forgive them. We cannot wait for someone else to say that are sorry.  Peace cannot be postponed.

Recognize that to whatever degree the war is going on in your own mind, it is based on one thing; the firm belief that you are a separate entity, separate from your parents, your children, your lover, or your enemy.

All wars are based upon the ignorance of our true nature and the illusion of separation. When you firmly believe that, you are separate from the totality, separate from peace, separate from love, you protect yourself.  That protection takes many forms involving personal and territorial identification.   The horror is that if what you are protecting is the thought of who you are, it does not, in reality, even exist.  It is only a thought, and whenever a thought is honestly investigated, it is found to have no inherent reality. Yet athis thought of who you are has immeasurable power, because it becomes the filter of all experiences of reality.

When you look through tinted glass, reality takes on that tint. It is not that reality is tinted. The tinted glass mediates and distorts reality. People fight for the distortion that this “I”, as an individual or as a group, is separate from all other beings. And yet that “I” is actually nothing! It is a made-up story. Yet in the belief that the story is reality, there is colossal tragedy and suffering. When this “I” that is assumed to be real and separate is examined by consciousness, it is discovered to be none other than consciousness itself.

As a conscious human being, you have the opportunity to discover that never, not even for an instant, is it possible to be separate from consciousness, from the source of everything, from God. Once you discover this directly, you then broadcast it with every breath you take. Whether you speak of this discovery or you never speak again, you will broadcast it through the natural radiance of your being. In your willingness to take that chance, to accept that invitation, you will naturally share that peace everywhere.

At this point in time, in this theatre of consciousness, you have the opportunity to discover what is deeper than ‘human being’, what is before human being. That “being-ness” is actually the source of human being. It is the source of plant being, animal being, sentient being, and insentient being. That being ness is alive with intelligence, with presence, and it wants to know itself in you so that it can know itself everywhere. 

“UNLESS ALL OF US TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN INNER PEACE, THE WARS WILL CONTINUE.”

“WHEN WE CHOOSE THE SPIRITUAL LIFE, WE MUST MAKE IT REAL AND VIBRANT”

 

O’ Master,

 

My search for something didn’t lead anything

When I adopt a practice of spirituality

I find solace & strength

Found more enthusiasm and productive

Lost nothing but gained everything

 

When we are imbued with the true spirit of consecration. all our activities are turned into surrender.  All tasks before us, small and big, become of deep significance.  When our heart is thus filled with the consciousness of the ever-living and all-blissful Master, we no longer feel the weary weight of life.

 

Spiritual practice is not a child-play, but a serious one.  It is the practice of ‘life’ and not play.  Once we get a reliable guide to give us real spiritual benefits through a vibrant practice, we must accomplish all the things through Him.  The more we have the faith in Him, more is the advantage.  We have to practice spirituality in all walks of our life.

 

Thought of the day:-

 

O, Master, help me to consecrate my whole life to Thee.

May I find all my job in Thy blessed Presence.

Help me to fasten my heart to eternal Truth.

Fix my thought on Thee alone.

May I never fail to look up to Thee and seek thy holy guidance.

Fill me and surround me with Thy Divine peace.

May Thy holy peace reign in my heart and life.

 

Yours lovingly,

 

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

“WE MUST LEARN THE ART OF ALWAYS CARRYING THE INNER LIGHT OF HOLINESS”

 

O’ Master,

 

This flame that burns in my heart was lighted by Thy hand.

Thy servant keeps watch.

Though alone canst give him power to conquer sleep.

That his eyes may keep watchful vigil in the dark hours of night,

 Which so oft rob our inward sight.

 

 

We feel the presence of the Great Spirit of the Universe in silence. The silence is not so much external silence; it is the silence of our inner being. As long as there is turbulence and rest within us, we can never reflect the spirit of holiness.  Never can we penetrate to the innermost depth of our being.   Only when there is a cessation of all unrest within our heart, do we feel the divine presence and the rise of a new sense of sanctity within us.

 

Internalization is the only process in spiritual practice through which we attain ‘Guru Tatwa’.  The internalized Master, along with his ‘Guru Tatwa’, gives tremendous solace and courage inside us and we are prepared to do anything along the righteous path.  Carrying the Divine Master within expands our ‘soul’ to the Universal level.  When the soul is charged by the holiness of our Master, it illuminates itself and starts transmitting to the outside world.

 

Thoughts of the day:- 

 

Effulgent Spirit ! Shed thy radiance in my heart and mind;                                        

Fill my being with Thy divine light.

I remain for your presence and your holiness may spread all over my life.

Yours lovingly,

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

“WISDOM DOES NOT CONSIST IN GATHERING INFORMATION. IT CONSISTS IN FINDING A CLEAR ACCESS TO THE 'HIGHEST'

 

O’ Master, 

That which enshrouds our vision is ignorance.

The way out of it is through wisdom.

Wisdom is that which keeps us from blundering.

It is like carrying a light.

We can all unfold it.

It rests with us whether we will walk in darkness or whether we will kindle the torch of wisdom in our mind and heart and walk by its light.

It alone can show us the way to God.

 

Mere bookish knowledge cannot give us wisdom.  Because wisdom descends automatically once we attain the stage of purity.  Many things we hear from others, many things we see ourselves, but we do not know the truth behind these things.  Truth can be realized only through a pure mind and not by any knowledge.  After receiving wisdom from above, we become wise in our activities and approach.  This wisdom only

 makes us do the righteous actions.  Unless otherwise we receive this Divine wisdom

either directly from the ‘Divine’ or from a ‘Divine personality’,

practicing spirituality makes no purpose.

Rishis never read any book but they realized.  Every Upanishad is the experience of a Rishi.  We have number of Upanishads to read.  Each has its own truth and principles.  Merely reading the experience of others, we cannot achieve anything in our life.  We have to experience Him through the latest method of spiritual practice,

 because way of practice differs from ages to ages.

 

Thoughts of this Day:-

 

  O Thou Infinite Being, show me the way to Thee That I may gain access to Thy Presence through my Mind. May I never turn my face away from Thee, My Master, And bathe in Thy Light. May I never fail to see Thee. May I seek Thee always with steadfastness and fervent faith

Yours lovingly,

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

Golden Message No. 6

 

“ONLY WHEN MIND IS STEADY IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE TRUE VISION”

 

O’ Master,

 

Out of the deep darkness of night,

A light burst upon my soul,

Filling me with serene gladness

All my inner chambers

Are opened at its touch;

All my inmost being

Is flooded by its radiance.

 

Please do not close your door and brood in the darkness.  When harshness and misery come, instead of going down under them, the awakened soul of the Master in you becomes triumphant.  We live with a saintly character that way. When we meet with difficulties, we can always derive blessings from the Master.  But how quickly we go down under the stress of life.  Our sense of balance is increased or decreased according to our feeling for spiritual truth.  As long as we have an unbroken consciousness of the Divine Presence of the Master, we shall feel secure and shall remain steadfast.

 

With our daily transactions, we may feel difficult to keep our mind always in divinity.  But when we connect ourselves with a Divine Master, we automatically get attached with divinity.  No impressions are created, even if we are busy with our day-to-day life.  When our mind gets detached from mundane transactions, we can keep ourselves involved in divine thoughts, and one day, we can have real vision of truth.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

All-effulgent Master, Thou art the Light of the Universe,

Illumine my heart with Thy Divine Light

Fill my mind with the light of understanding

and give me strength and devotion

That I may follow Thy path with firm resolution.

 

Yours lovingly,

 

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

“YOU OUTRAGE YOURSELF AND YOUR SPIRITUAL IDEAL WHEN YOU HARBOUR ANY EVIL THOUGHT”

 

O’ Master,

 

Those of full of desires, for self gratification, ......... whose discrimination is stolen away by the love of power and pleasure and who are thus deeply attached therein, [for such people] it is possible to obtain either firm conviction in purpose or God consciousness. (Bhagavat Gita)

 

Our state of mind opens or closes certain avenues for us.  In one state of mind, we get answers to our problems; we are contended and happy.  In certain states of mind, our thought is distracted and we accomplish nothing.  If we know how to operate, organize, and govern the forces of life, we derive great benefits from them.  We also gain balance, poise, and efficiency.

 

If we want to live happily, we should have only positive thoughts.  Negative thoughts seldom give happiness but give stress.  Spiritual practice is to gain positive thoughts and qualities so that we do not find any hindrances in our life.  If we mingle with persons with negativity, we also tend to acquire the same qualities and sometimes we will be away from spirituality.

 

Thoughts of the Day:-

 

O' Master, bestower of peace,

Do though awaken my spirit,

And fill my heart with unbroken love,

Make me conscious of of Thy divine presence,

That I may rise above all the afflictions of the world of matter,

And live in ever joyful communion with Thee,

May I serve Thee with wholeness and earnestness of heart 

 

Yours lovingly,

Golden Message No.8

 

“GOD HAS GIVEN US REASON,

HE HAS GIVEN US A HIGHER SENSE OF VALUES,

WE NEED BOTH TO ATTAIN UNION WITH OUR SOURCE OR THE SPIRIT INSIDE.”

 

O’ Master,

 

Wake, awake!

A new Life hath come into this house (my heart) that was once so dark

Rise, my Spirit,

Arise, my mind, my body, and all ye sense slumberers!

Behold the glory of Light, dispelling all darkness!

 

We learn balance through our union with the Supreme Master, and we are stronger as we gain this union.  The richest experience of life comes when we find our inner Refuge, where we can retire and feel secure.  Buddha calls it as an Island.  The thing is to find it through our thought and purity.  Only when we find inner contact, can we take our place in this world and fill it wisely.

 

Connecting within is the only way to attain liberation.  The inner spirit is as strong as the Supreme Spirit.  Instead of dwelling inside, we waste our time searching outside.  Our ultimate goal should be to unite with Him within.  For this, we require a guide of calibre  who can take us through the right path.  This spiritual path is very pure, and we have to be pure to travel through this divine road towards Him.  Purity only can bring us beside Him and we receive this purity only through this guide, who is a Divine personality.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O. Thou the Supreme Master, bestow upon me a true understanding,

That I may come to Thee with a sincere spirit of consecration

Thou art the Store House of all light and wisdom,

Thou alone can strengthen me and inspire me

May I rest my life in Thine and find my peace in Thee.

 

Yours lovingly,

 

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

“WHEN WE REACH THE THRESHOLD OF GOD, OF TRUTH, THEN ALONE DO WE KNOW THE TRUE JOY"

 

O’ Master,

 

Love of the physical will pass
As all passing things, must follow their course:

But love of the spiritual will never vain or die.

 

Man is not satisfied: not even when he builds an empire. He is always longing for something deeper, more complete. This we do not find in the outer world.  It is deep down in us.  We never find any real happiness or the real source of strength until we are able to go down within our own soul. That is where we find God and Divinity.  Our possessions, our friends, fail us often: but God who abides within us and who knows our heart He never fails us.  True joy cannot trust on material condition: It is found only Infinitude.

 

Probably we would have experienced various types of enjoyments in our life. However, the ‘Divine bliss’, the superior enjoyment of this Universe can be experienced only from Him and human beings cannot give it.   Once we enjoy this bliss condition, we never try for any other enjoyments in our life.  Unless otherwise we get a Master of caliber, we cannot get this spiritual bliss full of joy.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O Master Thou Art the Goal of my existence,

Thou Art the Refuge for all souls,

Arouse in me true yearning,

That through its force I may gain such Power of penetration,

That I may perceive Thee in the midst of all things,

Make my heart sincere, and my prayer simple and fervent.

Thou Art the embodiment of love and all blessedness,

Grant unto me Thy loving protection.

 

Yours lovingly,

 

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

“IT MAKES US  STRONGER, TO ENDURE”

 

O’ Master,

 

Brave heart, tired soul, remains awake awhile longer, awhile longer.

The hour of watching is almost over,

It will end,

And its end will bring thee gladness and rest.

 

We need to pass through times of darkness in order to learn the value of spiritual consciousness.  When our life becomes blinded by despair, all our efforts seem unsuccessful; those are the moments when we need to hold fast.  When we have a thing, we do not realize the lack of it.  For instance when a person rolls in luxury, it is very difficult for him to imagine the misery of poverty.  Same is it when we have great spiritual consciousness in us, we do not appreciate what misery, what unhappiness, its absence can create in a soul.

 

Tolerance is one of the qualities of a spiritual practitioner.  This tolerance only creates love and courage.  Sometimes, waiting is a pleasure, especially for the beloved.  Here in NC, we anticipate our Master to arrive to our Heart at any time.  We are waiting.  The moment My Master enters in us, our inner capacity increases with tremendous courage. The suffering of waiting will not be there once we internalize My Master.  The present human consciousness starts changing gradually into Divine Consciousness and that becomes our nature.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

Supreme Master, Thou knowest my innermost being,

Thou knowest my strength and my weakness,

Rouse in my heart such fortitude and firmness of faith.

That nothing can throw me down or overwhelm me,

Help me to lift my thoughts above the distractions of this world.

And fasten them to the stable and undying.

 

Yours lovingly,

 

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

'ONLY WHEN THE TURBULENCES OF SELF CEASE, DO WE HAVE THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY NEEDFUL FOR SPIRITUAL VISION'

 

O’ Master,

 

The touch of Thy holy Hand is my sole adornment.

A glance from Thy smiling eyes hath poured upon me a shower of countless blossoms.

Now I gather these scattered flowers day and night with ecstatic joy,

For they bear the blessings of Thy Divine fragrance.

 

If we have the courage to give ourselves wholly to Truth, what will happen?  This question will not arise.  They will be no more questioning or calculating.  We shall possess the most inspiring, most sustaining vision; and Divinity will become a Reality to us.  A new vision is born from within.  Our whole life is filled with it.  Suppose we lose our vision, instead of giving way to dejection, let us close our eyes, and fix our gaze on something within. This will lend life to our blindness and restore our spiritual sight.

 

We come to spirituality only to imbibe Divine Consciousness and not for attaining material benefits.  Material desires never stop and one cannot even look back towards spirituality.  Once we understand that material life itself is not a life, we try to bend ourselves towards the Truth.  If we are able to find our goal of Truth in our Divine Master, it becomes very easy to attain it.  Our unsettled life settles on its own, when we surrender everything to our Master.  Turbulence cannot come again in our life.

 

 

Thoughts of the Day:-

 

 

O merciful one, bless me that I may never bar the stream of Thy Love and wisdom in my heart.

May it flow freely and wash away

all petty selfish thoughts.

And may I never fail to keep my gaze fixed on Thee.

 

 

Yours lovingly,

 

Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

Golden Message No.12 

 

'IF WE LIVE CONSTANTLY CLOSE TO SPIRITUALLY ADVANCED PERSONS, WE BECOME CHARGED BY THEM'

 

Thy immortal soul of sweet perfume,

Hath risen to the throne of thy Master,

Thou art no more separate from Him.

Thy humble heart hath taught me a holy secret , -

Yea, though hast given thine all!

 

When we do our work through higher inspiration, which comes from

contact with the Master or Source, it has a special freshness.

This inspiration comes with purity of heart.  No one has a monopoly of it.  The true heart is the same everywhere.  The pure soul in its attitude and aspiration is always the same.  There is no difference in the great saints anywhere.  Spiritual wisdom is always the same and it never fails to fill the one who possesses it with higher power.

 

In the whole of humanity, finding  spiritually advanced persons is little difficult;  because these persons never show their identity to others.  By God’s grace, if we are able to get such a person, we must make association with Him immediately.  When we fly in our material world, we may tend to forget God. When once we connect to a Divine personality and accept Him as our Master, remembrance of God does not arise.  The Master takes care of it.  If we find Him, in this life itself, we have to surrender everything to Him irrespective of our position.  Then only He can take charge of us in our spiritual as well as material life.

 

Thoughts of this day.

 

O Thou who are my Resting-place and Shelter,

I take refuge in Thy Sacred Being.

Rouse in me a new ardour of devotion.

I offer Thee my whole heart in

humble worship and love;

Cleanse it and fill it with Thyself (your love).

 

Yours lovingly,

'MOTIVE IS THE GREATEST FACTOR IN ALL ACTION'

 

O’ Master,

 

One who knows attachment is gone, who is liberated, whose mind is well-established in wisdom, who works for sacrifice alone, his whole Karma (Samskaras) melts away ................. Thus by performing actions with the consciousness of the Supreme,

he reaches the Supreme alone.    Bhgavad Gita.

 

It is the natural thing that when there is any vacancy, Mother Nature fills it.  It is filled with that for which we open the channel.  If we form the habit of holding wholesome, beneficial, up-building thought, it will act like magic in our life.  There is great harm done by discordant thoughts but there is no harm when we cannot get remedy immediately, though we are in Divine thoughts.  Because divinity works slowly.  These divine thoughts are the results of a spiritual practice under a Divine personality.  When we allow Him to clean us inwardly, the thought becomes inward and it

 has such power that it can transform our life and other lives.

 

All our attachments start giving trouble one day or other.   The more we are attached to our material life, we face trouble, and sometimes it leads to confusion.  Here in NC, we are requested to surrender everything to the Divine Master as his belongings, and we have to presume that we are only the users.  If we have succeeded in this process, rest of our life is in the hands of our Master and we need not worry about it.  Everything happens when it has to happen and in the right way.  Faith in Him creates a lot of courage and patience to face our life.  If we do all the actions with the remembrance of our Master, actions do not get reactions and we can save ourselves from future births.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

Thou who are my Master, the Giver of all,

Give unto me the spirit of understanding.

That I may learn to rely on Thy grace,

And find my sustenance in and through Thee.

Abiding Spirit, surround me with Thy protecting love.

Grant me greater earnestness and wisdom,

And fill my life with Thy holy Peace.

 

Yours lovingly,

“WHEN WE HAVE COURAGE AND GIVE OURSELVES FREELY, OUR WHOLE LIFE IS TRANSFORMED.”

 

O’ Master,

 

Withhold not Thy tender mercy from us.

The blessing of Thy Presence will lift our weight,

And our soul will sing again with new joy our thanksgiving.

Come, O come to us in this hour of need!

 

We all have setbacks, but this falling down does not mean defeat. Thousands of times, we may fall down, yet we must rise up again.  We need courage and poise to do this.  He who is not afflicted by the dual conditions of life lives truly.  Some people glorify their pain and adversity.  If it is crucifixion, that crucifixion becomes a symbol of their religion and they bear it gloriously.  This is not sentimentality; it is true courage.

 

All of us have pain in one way or the other.  Once we practice to accept the pain, we become spiritual persons.  Spirituality teaches not to give pain to others and bear the pain given by others.  For this a tremendous perseverance and courage is required.  This condition cannot come automatically by glorifying our pain.  When we are connected to a Divine Personality, He gives courage to undergo everything in our life.  We will not bother about anything and we keep ourselves busy in divine thoughts.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, victory and defeat, elation and depression, good fortune and ill, all these things come and go;

But Thou art ever unchanging

Help me never to rise and fall with these waves of circumstance

But to find strength and steadfastness, by clinging with unshakable faith to Thee.

 

Yours lovingly,

“A MAN CAN TRANSFORM HIMSELF BY CHANGING HIS CONSCIOUSNESS AND CULTIVATING THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS.

 

O’ Master,

 

This, my house, grows dark and cold when Thou art absent from it.

The light of my soul it lusterless without Thee;

The pulse of my life is silent when Thou, Life of my life, art not in my dwelling.

I pray unto Thee with all the powers Thou hast bestowed upon me,

That Thou will never abandon me.

 

As we learn the art of up-building, our heart blends with the Divine heart.  We cannot have happiness or give happiness, until we have learned to blend our heart with the Heart of our Master.  We must have a sense of kinship, more than that, a sense of true relationship with the Supreme Master.  There is no use for us to have spirituality, unless it becomes dominant in our life.  A man must stand up and show that he has an Ideal and that he is loyal to it.

 

If man is more conscious about him and not Him, he cannot reach into spirituality.  If he is not able to reach spirituality, what is the use of his life? Divinity is only for spiritual person and not for others.  This Divinity has to come from inside.   We have to dwell within to reach this Divinity.  We require a capable Master to help us in this regard.  If we have succeeded in getting into the divine heart of the Master, it becomes easy to reach inside.  Happiness automatically comes, once we surrender everything to Him.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

Awaken in me spiritual yearning

May I be earnest and tireless in my search for Truth

May I serve MY MASTER with my whole heart and soul

May I learn to work, worship and aspire without striking any discordant note.

“WE MUST NEVER FALL AWAY.  BY STEADFASTNESS, WE SURMOUNT THE GREATEST OBSTACLES.

 

O’ Master,

 

Fear not, nor be distressed,

I am with thee always

There is no space before me;

I infill all space

Yea, I am always with thee

Fear not, nor be distressed.

 

If we are in tune, if we are fortified, we can go through the greatest misfortune without being crushed.  If we are not in tune and thus fortified, we are in danger, even in the midst of good fortune.  There are obstacles in the spiritual path, but they only rise and overcome us when our life is out of rhythm.  To remedy this, we must find a proper basis for our action.  When we find this, harmony is restored.

 

Fortification of our strength is possible only when we get a reliable Master in our spiritual practice.  We must be always careful in selecting our Master to whom we are going to surrender everything.  All the obstacles that we are facing in our spiritual journey can be completely removed, if we get a dependable Master.  In NC,

we have a dependable and eligible Master whom we can trust.

 We can also test Him before we conclude to follow Him.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O Thou inexhaustible Source of all blessedness,

Fill my mind with noble thoughts

Strengthen and sanctify my life

May I never give way to despondency or despair

Make me undaunted in the face of every obstacle and difficulty

And at all times may I look to Thee as my sole Support.

 

YOURS LOVINGLY,

When we have positive intention, our way to achieve also will be positive.  For every action, there is a purpose whether we know it or not.  Unknowingly we may commit mistakes and do actions without knowing the motive.  Every action should be done with a positive motive but not to expect the results.   If the motive is not disturbing others and natural, results also become natural and positive.  When we bring our Master in our action, every action becomes positive and will not have any reaction.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

Thou who are my Master, the Giver of all,

Give unto me the spirit of understanding

That I may learn to rely on Thy grace

And find my sustenance in and through Thee

Abiding Spirit, surround me with Thy protecting love

Grant me greater earnestness and wisdom,

And fill my life with Thy holy peace.

 

 

Yours lovingly,

"SPIRITUAL QUALITIES ARE INFECTIOUS; ALSO

 EVIL QUALITIES ARE INFECTIOUS'

 

                                                                      O’ Master

 

                                                     In the great symphony of life,

Where all is melody and music, save the voice of ego,

            Sing, my soul, in harmony!

 

Those who have pure thoughts, noble ideals, and loving characters exert strong influence on others.  Whenever we want to have a lasting effect on any character, we must not expect to do it too quickly or too easily.  If it is done too quickly, it will not last.  It is like a hay-fire. You set hay on fire and it makes a tremendous blaze, but in a moment, it is over; while a long fire is slow to catch, but it lasts a long time.  The real spiritual life is manifested when there is no element of fire, no ulterior motive, no bargaining.  When we pray,

 we must not ask God to give us something in return.  Our prayer must spring

from a spontaneous need to commune with ‘That’.

 

When you develop spiritual qualities in you, others start observing you and get attracted towards it.  Every human being can experience these qualities, if they desire for it.  These infectious spiritual qualities should spread all over the universe for the sake of peace and courage to counter their day-to-day problems.  Beware of negative qualities and negative persons; they may spoil you your spiritual life.  Once we connect with our Master, we forget our evil thoughts and qualities and become positive always.

 

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May I feel the protection of all-abiding Spirit (My Master) within me

May He so inspire my heart that I shall consecrate

all my thoughts and efforts to his service.

May my love for Him be so sincere and spontaneous that others

 will feel it and gain new strength and inspiration from it.

 

 

Yours lovingly,

''THE WORLD IS IN NEED OF THE HEALING BALM THAT HOLINESS BRINGS.''

 

O’ My Master,

   

My touch will kindle hope in thy heart.

I shall reside in thy soul as Peace.

My love will fill thee with bliss.

Fear not, but walk forward with faith.

My hand is thy safety.

 

A man may not profess any faith, yet he may be the embodiment of all faith. Holiness comes from the practice of spirituality. We must live in such a way that we may convey the living quality of spirituality to the heart of the world.  There is one way to reach the hearts of men and that is first by reaching our own depths.  We must be willing to die for our Ideal or to live for it without a whimper, whatever may happen.

 We need holy men to heal the world.

 

Holiness is the creation from purity.  Purity of mind can help others to create purity.  Positive qualities and fearlessness are required to heal the world.  Our endeavor in creating holy men should succeed.  NC makes an effort to train young people through spirituality and make them as saintly engineers, saintly doctors, saintly govt. officers etc.  This trial of producing such personalities can definitely heal the world beyond any doubt.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

I lift my heart and thought to the Supreme Master, All loving, All-seeing One.

He alone can grant my prayers.

He alone can quicken my spirit and give up spiritual understanding.

May He rouse in my soul true yearning for such understanding.

And bestow on me His ever-living, ever-abiding protection and blessing.

 

Yours lovingly,

“EVEN A THIN THREAD OF FAITH IS BETTER THAN ALL WORLDLY SPLENDOUR WITHOUT FAITH

 

Though hast placed me on this other shore where virtue and wise, sin and merit,

praise and censure, all are one; where light and dark, life and death

are commingled in eternal uni . I stand on this strange shore and look upon

the swift-following current of life with amazed wonderment.

 

Here the faith is the dependence.  Though we spend our life without this, at one stage you feel that you require it. It is only when there is lack of light that we see things in wrong way. How like a little cloud’s worldly grandeur is blown away. Man can never be self-sufficing.  But when he learns a higher dependence, there is no more anguish of mine, no more rebellion.  To be able to see our connection with every condition of life is to see with a new eye---the spiritual eye.  Patience, endurance, courage - these come when that eye opens.  Then we can turn all our forces Godward or inward.  For one who sees with the spiritual eye, there are no evil forces; we create evil by the misdirection of our energies

 

Blind faith is always dangerous.  Faith should come after experience.  For experience, we should have dependence.  This dependency with some reliable personality can only give experience and further, the experience takes us to faith.  Faith after experience is permanent and steady.  This faith improves a lot of confidence in our life.  NC practice never demands faith.  However, if we practice sincerely and devotedly with the help of our Master, we definitely reach into a condition of faith.  Then we can say ‘faith moves mountain’, and not before.

 

Thoughts of the Day:-

 

All 'Encompassing Spirit', Thou art the Supreme 

Master, giver of all life
Thou art all that is manifested and all that is unmanifested.

Thou art all that is within and all that is without

Do Thou uplift my mind and heart and give me

 a new sense of Thy Reality

'THE BEST LANGUAGE IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART'

 

O’ Master,

 

What I feel now I cannot say;

The words are not yet made for its utterance,

Speech is power to speak of That which hath given it power to speak.

Thus it is, friend, so oft I keep silent when thou wouldst have me speak.

 

We may theorize and sermonize about many things, but this does not satisfy us. The practical part of spirituality and religion lies in loving, silent service.  Service opens a new chapter in our life. It is a fundamental thing, not something indefinite. Service is the living expression of our thought and feeling. If they are right, we shall

never desire to enjoy any blessing apart from our fellow-men.

 

Every heart speaks on its own.  This whispering of the heart can be heard only in silence.  Unless otherwise we practice silence in mind, we cannot understand what our heart says.  Once we bring our Master into our mind, we find calmness and quietude. Achieving blankness of mind is the beginning for a spiritual practitioner.  Blankness can invite Divinity and the Divinity can speak to us through Divine thoughts.  Divine thoughts give only peace and tranquility in our life.

 

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

 

O" my Master, open my heart to Thy all embracing love,

That it may flow through me and bless all Thy children

Make me a worthy mouthpiece that Thou

mayst speak through me.

Keep me humble and simple and free from harshness,

May my life radiate Thy peace and bring

Joy to all weary souls.

'WE CANNOT BE HAPPY WITHOUT CASTING THAT RADIANCE INTO THE WORLD'

 

The blessing of Thy smile hath filled my soul with radiant joy.

When I am in Thy Presence, my heart is always light and

My feet do not touch the ground.

Verily, Thou hast transported me to a sorrow- less land!

 

It is good to have at least one person in every household who radiates joy through his spiritual expansion.  Often a light is kept burning before the shrine; so in the soul must we keep burning the light of understanding the Master.  Then no evil can touch us.  Vision does not come to one whose heart is soiled by the world and heated by the fever of life.  A person cannot convey constructive thought who is not in tune with the Nature; but when his heart is in perfect tune, he benefits and comforts the whole world. 

 His life is like a radiant light shedding brightness.

 

Actually, it is the duty of everyone to radiate Joy and love to everybody in this Universe.  Because of the impurities inside, human beings are unable to radiate this to others.  Once we spiritualize ourselves with the wisdom of purity and heart with the help of our Master, we can also radiate wonderful light of love and joy to all  surrounding us.  Real happiness is finding joy in others’ faces.  NC practice itself is originated keeping this in mind.  Unless otherwise we give happiness to others, there is no value in living a life in this universe.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O Master, make my life a blessing to all Thy children

May I never bring darkness or heaviness to any heart;

But may I shed the radiance of true joy and love

 on all who cross my path.

Grant that I feel the bliss of Thy Presence within my heart.

And may Thy Presence protect me from all gloom and sadness.

'WE CANNOT LAY OUR FINGER ON ALL-ENCIRCLING INFINITUDE; YET IT IS EVERYWHERE'.

 

O’ Master,

 

I know in my inmost depth

That no mortal light

Can reveal Thy immortal Face;

Thou art seen only in Thine own effulgence,

Yet with yearning hope in my heart,

I keep my little altar lamp

Day and night, burning-burning!

 

It is a sacrilege to believe that we have no part in God's life.  The power of God is within us and all around us.  Unbroken and undivided Oneness pervades the universe. 

 We all partake of it.  As long as the realm of Divinity remains distant from us,

we can have no access to it and true knowledge will not come.  It must be

 brought close through sincere yearning and living the life.

 

Experiencing the God's energy in all the creations is a wonderful one. 

 God is not alone in his status but available in all his creations.

No one can escape from Him and his energy.   When you get Divine perception through a right spiritual practice, your application of mind changes and  you rely upon His energy. Experiencing God’s energy everywhere in this Universe is a wonderful experience.  A true spiritual practitioner with the help of his ‘Guide’ can reach this condition.  

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O Thou Infinite All-encompassing Master,

Clarify my vision that through Thy grace

I may perceive Thy abiding Presence,

And never again lose sight of Thee,

Teach me to seek Thee always and

Look to Thee wholly for protection.

"COMMUNE WITH THY SPIRIT IN SILENCE"

 

O’ Master,  

 

It is not death that robs our life,

Not is it the dark of night that bars our inward sight;

Nay, it is the Veil of Unknowing.

 

We cannot live on borrowed knowledge.  Borrowed knowledge is fluctuating and shifting. We must make it our own, based on our own experience.  Whenever we have to go elsewhere to learn about something, it does not belong to us.  That is true knowledge which accompanies us.  It is like carrying a light.  That one light makes all things plain.  This is what we call wisdom.

 

Experience through silence is the greatest among all experiences.  Silence is emptying our mind from earlier knowledge and start afresh to have clear and understandable experiences.  Silence is the beginning of everything and end.  Can we think of living without silence?  Life starts with silence inside the womb and life ends with silence at the Necropolis.

 

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O Master, Thou the source of all knowledge,

May I learn to know Thee as Thou art in Truth,

Grant me constant inward contact with Thy spirit,

May my mind be uplifted and my heart purified;

May my sight be turned within

That I may gain true vision of Thee

And become peaceful and full of joy.

"WHEN WE CONSTANTLY UNITE OUR HEART WITH OUR IDEAL OF TRUTH AND LOVE ALONGWITH ‘MY MASTER’ WITHIN, IT BECOMES AN UPLIFTING AND REDEEMING FACTOR IN OUR LIFE."

 

O’Master:

 

In the hour of silent communion,

I taste sweet ecstasy of bliss,

O' Master, the Light of my soul,

This body is only its shade.

 

When we plant a seed it has no apparent sign of life, but we know it contains

 the germ of life. We care for it, we water it, then it sprouts; very soon, we see

a little plant and hopefulness comes.  We are able to care for it more because

 we see a  sign of life.  Same is it with our life.  A very small understanding

 may be  there, a small capacity for feeling; but if we foster these, we

strengthen  them and through our  aspiration, they become larger every day.

 

Constant remembrance is the ideal condition to nourish our pure thoughts and deeds.  We should realize one day, the power and love of my Master through our heart.  Our moral values and strength should be established through his divine presence.  Growing together with love and truth takes everybody to the Ultimate.  Let us think of introducing love to this world through our ‘My Master’ within.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O' Master, All-pervading Spirit,

May I find my refuge in Thy all-abiding, all-tender Heart,

Fill my life with fresh inspiration, that it may be full of spiritual fruition, My own strength is not sufficing;

My real strength lies in Thy strength, May I ever

follow Thy path of Love and unite my will with Thy Will.

"UNLESS A MAN IS BEREFT OF SELF, HE CANNOT FIND GOD"

 

O’ Master,

 

Love will give you light,

Love will give you faith and hope,

Love will bring you bliss,

Love will lead you,

Love will shield you,

Let Love dwell in your soul.

 

Do you suppose you can lose your self-will through analysis? The only way it is wiped out is through excess of love.  If unconsciously you become a larger centre of self-expression, a greater Power will take over your hands, mind, and heart and express greater things through them. However, this cannot come through calculation. 

 What a wonderful treasure-house the soul has through selfless love.

 You wipe out all, yet you have everything.

 

Love cannot be destroyed; because it is an everlasting spirit.  Love only

creates or produces something, but hatred destroys everything. 

 Experience your life without love, and then you understand the value of love. 

 Let love live forever and live yourself for love.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May the All-loving Divine Master pour through

 my life a flood of Divine Love,

May that love wash my heart clean of all selfishness,

May He grant unto me a new sight that I may see Him in all,

May I look to Him alone for all my joy and sustenance,

May I never grow weary in seeking Him;

And may my vision of Him always remain clear and unwavering.

“THE PROOF OF OUR LOVE FOR THE MASTER

 LIES IN SERVICE”

 

O’ Master,

 

Oh! Awake brother, linger thou no more,

Come and see this newness and freshness of Love life and joy

Enjoy yourself with the help of Love and service

Do it now and forget not.

 

A truly happy life is one, which radiates happiness, and gives happiness to others. Let us make ourselves open channels to receive and transmit Love and Joy.

May we not only receive it, but also let us make ourselves capable to retain it, so that we may give it to others. Love gives tremendous energy always.

Let us power out ourselves in love and service. What comes of it, let us leave that to Master.  Love Him who loves all and gain the benefits.

Every time we think of our own self, it brings in sorrow in one form or the other. We attribute our unhappiness to other things, but its cause lies in self-seeking.

 

We can create a boundary between ourselves, and such selfish thoughts, through self-less devotion, and consecrated service. Through that boundary of self-less-ness, nothing can penetrate. Start service with love and end with love. During the service, do not forget love. Service without love is useless. Love without service may be helpful. The duty of Human beings   does not end with love, but continues with service.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

Oh! All loving Master, remove all my selfishness

and egoism from my heart,

That I may be able to love and serve you truly.

May I realize your presence within and without.

And carry its radiance into the world.

May your blessings rest upon my life, and May I share

That blessing with others.

O’ Master,

 

Thou are shielding me by Your protecting love,

Now, I depend on You, nay, I cannot live without You,

I crave no other blessing than Your benign Presence.

 

 

Our happiness depends on the happiness of others.  We should expand our little nature.  There is no such thing as selfish happiness in political life; there is no such thing as selfish happiness in social life; there is no such thing as selfish happiness in spiritual life.  Unhappiness means that we close our hearts to the higher avenues of true joy. 

True happiness is contained in the Infinite and Eternal

 

Spirituality proclaims the true happiness through your genuine service.  Everybody has the capacity to help others.  However, they do not do it because of unawareness.  Giving happiness to others is our moral duty and righteousness.  Since happiness is the state of mind, we must try to fill the mind with eternal Bliss and Truth.  That does not mean that you should not give happiness through material or true advices.

Share the happiness along with your Master.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May 'My Master' protect me from selfishness and pettiness,

May I never yield to dejection or discontent,

May He grant me brightness of spirit and cheerfulness,

May I find all my happiness in Him, not in the things of this world,

May He bestow His peace and blessing upon my life.

‘WE ARE NEVER SAFE UNTIL WE HAVE FOUND OUR FOUNDATION IN TRUTH OR  THE DIVINE MASTER’

 

O’ Master,

 

The shower of your blessing

Fell on this parched ground,

Which was barren as a desert.

At first, I did not believe,

That  Thou could soften it,

But your miracle hath changed,

This waste to a flower land.

 

If we only learn to have a steadfast hold on the Supreme Master, all our outer actions can be easily regulated and sanctified and these will be made a part of the inner consciousness. True practitioners hold fast to Divinity and because of that, they are always able to maintain their balance.  They feel secured, no matter how many times they are whirled round and round by the outer circumstances of life.  We learn this secret through the practice of spirituality under a reliable and efficient guide.

 

Until we become dependent of Truth of Divine Master, we cannot be safe from births & deaths.  All these happen because of our own ‘samskaras’ and unless we try to get rid of these unwanted energy in our life, we cannot escape from our dilemma.  Our Master gives everything to us once we surrender ourselves to Him.

 

Thoughts of the day;-

 

May the Infinite & All abiding Divine Master give me inspiration, strength, and courage that will sustain me in

all my thoughts, words, and actions?

May I lean on Him and depend on Him alone.

May I look up to Him alone for protection and safety

May I find all my peace in Him?

‘OUR LIFE MUST RING TRUE. IN THE REALM OF SPIRITUALITY, WE CANNOT PRETEND.’

 

O’ Master,

 

When thy mind is filled with noble thoughts,

There is no room for small, petty, and selfish whims.

Keep thy heart then well-filled with feelings that

 are noble and true,then work with thy hand;

For no act can enslave us when our heart and mind are true.

 

There is a finer type of spiritual manhood. If you can manifest that, you will always glorify whatever you do.  But to do this, you must be genuine and you must look beyond yourself.  You cannot live this life worthily unless you relate it with what lies behind this life.  If you would enter into a more exalted realm of being, you must have patience, faith, perseverance and courage.  Without these, you cannot partake

of the  Spirit of your Divine Master and get His blessings.

 

Under the shelter of spiritual training, we are not supposed to do any thing that we like, unrightfully and unlawfully, which is against our spiritual progress.  Spiritual training is for the sake of developing confidence and truthfulness at all times in your life. A Spiritual person never pretend because he does not know to dramatize things against Truth.  Practical spirituality means practical living in this universe along with righteousness.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

I lift my heart to that One, who knows all

my struggles and my shortcomings.

Grant that I may direct my whole life to that One,

never to the fleeting objects of this material world.

May my prayers be so sincere and earnest

That they will always reach Him,

O’ Master,

 

Soul in search is never at rest.

Soul in slumber knoweth not the precious peace.

Soul in wakeful communion with the Supreme Master is at rest and hath found its peace.

 

One feels suffocated within the boundary line of dogmatic religion.  We must avoid fanaticism. A fanatic never has clear vision. We need a balanced attitude of mind.  The greatest mellowness and gentleness are to be found in those who have realized most.  A man has nothing to give until he has learned to shut the door and commune with his own inner Master.  Realization of truth means realizing good and positive qualities.

 

We should feel as our moral duty to create communion with our Divine Master always.  Our spiritual practice should gain the condition of this communion without any struggle and hardships. God is very simple and to reach him also should be a simple approach.

Once we internalize the Master, we forget our own negative qualities but acquire all the positive qualities with our Master’s help.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Thou All-knowing One, free me from the anguish

 of doubt and calculation,

May I never close my obeying to Thee

May I open every channel to receive Thy Divine inspiration.

And rest my life and happiness in Truth alone.

“WE GET RID OF OUR PROBLEMS BY A PROCESS OF EMPTYING OR VACUUMISATION”

 

O’ Master,

 

Bathe thyself in the water of life,

The earth water cannot cleanse thy stains,

Adorn thyself with the garb of simplicity,

Anoint thy heart with selfless love;

Thus do thou enter the shrine with soft and gentle tread.

 

The mind must be emptied before it can be filled.  In this way we free ourselves from our cares and worries and troubles.  We go round and round our problems, but it is not through calculation that they can be solved.  The only way we can be rid of them is to drop them like a dead weight.  If we form the habit of gazing on something that is pure Light, doubt, misery or despondency may come, but the Light will never fail us.

 

Light here is the Master.  It is a very common difficulty for almost all new aspirants to accept the Master immediately.  However, the Master works on them without their knowledge, once they are introduced to this NC system.  The emptying process is to invite the Master to your heart to work the way he wants.  When he arrives in you, your problems get gradually solved without your application of mind.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O Thou All-loving Master, help me to direct

my whole thought to ‘You’

Thou art the Nature Consciousness of my consciousness;

Thou art the Life of my Life,

Fill my whole heart with ‘Your’ Divine Presence,

That there may remain naught else-beside ‘You’

May I turn with childlike simplicity to ‘You’ in time of trouble,

And find my peace in ‘You’ alone.

‘A COMMON MAN ALWAYS ASSERTS HIS EGO; A SUPERIOR MAN IS ONLY CONSCIOUS THAT ‘GOD’ IS MANIFESTING THROUGH HIM”

 

O’ Master,

 

Come my ego no more into this house of mine [my Master’s], nor do you bring your companions,

This is now my King’s [my Master’s] dwelling…

You are not at all my friend,

You have only brought me pain by your harsh dissonant tone and style;

Henceforth enter you no more in this house of my Master,

This is His dwelling,

This is a sacred shrine.

 

We must form the habit of spiritual consciousness.  We must learn to look up to something higher.  If we do this we minimize our sadness, our miseries and fears.  In an ordinary person, the opposite forces, good, evil, pleasure and pain, are constantly preying on his mind; but this need not be.  When we establish rhythm with our Master, we have our fixed level and we are not preyed upon by the ego.  We maintain our balance.

 

Knowingly nobody brings the ego.  When circumstances are favorable, ego suddenly starts raising its head.  But when you divinize your mind with the purity of your Master, this ego does not disturb you nor it shows its dirty behaviour.  Once you really internalize Him, your emotional imbalances will be vanished.  Consciousness of God or Nature consciousness is manifesting through everybody.  Our ego does not permit to experience the same.  Attach yourself to your Master, you become superior man.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May the Supreme Master protect me through his divine strength.

May His divine blessing abide with me always.

May I always act in harmony with His Divine Will

And give myself more wholly to Him

May His peace fill my heart and life.

O’ Master,

 

I shall dwell in Thee when Thou hast given up self;

Nay, I shall possess Thee, fill Thee and own Thee

When Thou hast given up self.

 

Direct, simple, child-like method is the best.  All great characters have exhibited simplicity and directness.  This is a Divine gift.  It is much easier to go by the direct path.  Calculation, mental analysis and all such things entangle us and our mind becomes confused.  When we have a true sense of consecration, we are always simple,

child-like and full of selfless devotion.

 

It is a fact that the Master always wants to enter into your heart.  His purity is like sunlight, wind or rain.  If you do not create a hindrance, He enters.  Mother does not ask permission to give love to her child.  It is a motherly love that your Master wants to show

and He does not expect anything from you.

 

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

 

O’ Thou All compassionate Master,

Dark night of the soul is an illusion of mind,

Doubt of your Divine birthright will melt before the sun of Truth that will dawn in your heart,

In hour of silentation your thoughts will shine like the bright stars,

Illuminating the firmament of the spiritual world.

 

There are two kinds of ego.  One is unripe leading us into unending trouble; the other is the ripe ego which connects us with God.  The only safe attitude a man can take is that he is an instrument in God’s hands.  This comes from an exalted state of mind and always leads to a bigger Ideal.  It is reached through simplicity and spiritual devotion.

 

We must expand our heart to think big.  When we realize that our Master is the Big and Biggest, our little mind fills up with courage and confidence.  Expanding our hearts to the extent of reaching the Master’s heart must be our goal in spiritual life.  Though we may be small or we would like to remain small only always, my Master should become Big and Bigger in our hearts to give a better vision. We should feel that “My Master” is always Big and He can make me to think Big.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May ‘My Master’ the Infinite One who knows my inner most thoughts and feelings,

May He free me from all egotism, pride and unlovingness,

May He lead me to greater closeness with Him.

May He fill my mind and heart with His Divine Essence,

And make me ever conscious of His Blessed Presence.

When Thou art near I am undaunted by fear;

Neither life nor death can crush my spirit,

But in Thine absence when my heart sinks in sadness,

I know not even how to pray,

I lift my eyes to find Thee; my soul suffers nightmares of anguish.

At last I find Thee in my heart.

 

We are primarily of Spirit.   Our real essence is in the Divine.  To forget that becomes our greatest failure.  Even mistakes are not evil.  We learn through mistakes as much as through good deeds.   It is not a misfortune to blunder, but it becomes a misfortune when a person broods over his blunder.  When we live the life, we get rid of all brooding and despondency.  It is when our heart is filled with ambition that we fell defeat and failure.  We remain unmoved and undisturbed when it is wholly filled with the Ideal.

 

Sometimes we feel that we could not remember ‘My Master’ in spite of our problems and stress in the work.  It is the failure of the practitioner when he forgets Him at the time of his distress and strain.   It is He, He only to protect us from all the troubles.  We should not commit a failure of forgetting Him when we are in really in need of His presence.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ My Master, the mother & father of mine, make this heart glad,

 

Make it hopeful and strong,

 

May I go through difficulties and dangers with undaunted courage,

 

Andy may Ii never lose the sense of Thy tender care and loving protection,

 

May I not commit another failure.

 

Yours lovingly,

SSB

“WE DO OUR BEST WHEN WE ARE LEAST CONSCIOUS OF OURSELVES.”

 

O’ Master,

 

Ah, the quiet, blessed hour,-

The hour of union and fulfillment,

The hour of joy complete!

  Let me forget my nature consciousnesses

And bring Thy ‘Nature Consciousness’

 

 

Every time you forget yourself, you are renewed and rested. It is done sometimes through higher understanding or it may be done through devotion to an Ideal?  What will become of a man when he gives up self? Renunciation of self-what does it mean? Renunciation in every form is very sacred.  It is the motive that determines its value.  When you limit yourself to selfish vision, everything becomes distorted and your balance is destroyed.   You must give your whole life freely, if you would have true, undistracted power of action. Renunciation is the real negation of oneself to bring Him.

 

When your ‘My Master’ is functioning in you properly, you tend to forget yourself.  Remembering Him and forgetting yourself is the prime practice in spirituality.  When ‘My Master’ takes over your responsibilities, remembering yourself has no value.  Make ‘My Master’ to perform everything and enjoy your life.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ My Master, the Eternal Light of the Universe,

Thou art the source of my life, my inspiration and my joy,

May my gazes ever remain fixed on Thee;

May it never turn back upon myself,

Help me to keep my spiritual fire burning;

May I never let it grow dim or be extinguished,

May I devote my whole heart to Thy service,

And find my strength ever in Thee.

 

Yours lovingly,

SSB

“WE CAN ONLY RECEIVE IN EXACT PROPORTION AS WE GIVE.  IF WE GIVE WHOLLY, WE RECEIVE THE WHOLE.”

 

O’ Master,

 

O told them of Thy song, but they heard it not, for their own voices were loud;

They laughed and mocked me,

I sat alone with streaming eyes, yet these drops were not from sadness;

They were through fullness that Thou, merciful One, hadst given me hearing for Thy precious song.

Make me tune for thy song and rest in my heart for long.

 

Life and lack of life, light and lack of light-theses are the two phases of life.  There are people who are so glowing that they radiate light and life everywhere.  Then again we find a person in whom the light is almost extinct.  Our task is to rescue all those who are in darkness by increasing the power of their waning flame and making it strong and steady.  How can we be harsh how can we turn a deaf ear, when Truth stands out everywhere so clearly and shows us that we are in no way separate from any living being.

 

The song of the Divine Light transmitted from ‘My Master’ is not received by someone do not care for their own evolution.  Love, the song of other spirit can be enjoyed by everyone irrespective of their position.  Here, the song does not have any tune or sound but a feeling of LOVE.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Thou who art the Master of all,

Grant unto me the power to spread Thy blessing among all the children of men,

Make me a channel of ever higher and higher service,

Help me to give freely and without stint,

Knowing Thou art and inexhaustible store-house of love and power.

 

Yours lovingly,

“WE ARE SUCH COWARDS AT TIMES, WE ARE AFRAID TO GIVE”

 

O” Master,

 

Can we with all our might, offer Thee aught worthy in thy blessed sight?]

 

Can we ever make our heart so free of earthly stain that thy light of love may shine and glow unceasingly?

 

Our life can belike a lamp-post; travelers pass and find their path revealed.  Let us become like such a lamp-post, that we may throw a glow not only on our own path but on the paths of all God’s children.  We cannot help giving; we are constantly giving something. Whoever touches our life, whomsoever we touch, we give something to that person unconsciously.  The influence we exert depends upon our inner life and our power of vision.  If our Ideal is uppermost in our life, we shall always exert a noble influence.  If our own higher consciousness is dormant, we shall be

unable to appeal to the higher in others.

 

Don’t you think that you require courage to give something? Yes it requires a lot of courage when you want to give unpolluted love to others.  This love does not have any expectations.  It can give and give only.  First acquire the courage; then give love.  Your activation of ‘God inside’ can give only Divine Love. And this Divine Love does not demand anything from anybody.  Here NO GIVE & TAKE; ‘ONLY GIVE’.

 Love cannot reject Love, but receives.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ My Master, the Effulgent One, may I never enjoy

 anything apart from The Divine Light,

May that light shine through my every thought and action,

May thy love flow through me,

And unite me with all Thy children,

 

May I share gladly what Thou givest unto me,

 

Yours lovingly,

SSB

‘POISE DOES NOT COME ACCIDENTALLY; IT SPRINGS FROM INTUTION AND SELF-CONQUEST.”

 

O’ Master,

 

For this madness of mine, I can find no cure;

There is no help save when thou art near…..

Now at last thou art come, I am well, - yes, my spirit is still!

My body mind and sense all sing in perfect unison the joy of Thy coming.

The forgotten Love takes its strength again!

 

When mind becomes established in quietude, then all sorrows cease.  All our forces should be so in tune that there is no room for things to happen by accident.  In reality there is no such thing as accident.  Whatever happens is the result of a previous stage of mind.  Mind is not meant to rest in outer influences.  In order to get out of gloom or disturbance must have a point of contact that is different.  The mind must be interested in a higher point, where everything is living and vibrant.

 

Live your mind to your Master, and enjoy the vibrancy of Love and truth.  When you make your Master to work in you, there cannot be any accident but seems to be accidents. It really happens, and you become the observer.  Allow the things to happen, let it be an accident or incident.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May the Supreme Master grant me power to keep an even tenor in all the happenings of my daily life.

 

May I live in unbroken contact with His Divine storehouse,

 

And draw all my strength and inspiration from Him alone,

 

Yours lovingly,

SSB

“NEVER LET YOUR HEART BECOME RUFFLED BY PAIN OR PLEASURE JOY OR DESPENDENCY.”

 

O’ Master,

 

Our life hath both its summer and its winter, with their heat and cold,

The great Creator knoweth our need.

And giveth unto us season of cold and the summer of heat,

Life is full of ups, downs and planes,

Likes, dislikes and unlikely events,

I must travel along with you in these times,

And I do not bother for these.

 

A person does not begin to do his best until body is focused and unified.  But body cannot be focused without the mind being focused. It is not by thinking on the body you control your body, it is rather by thinking on higher things and relating them to body.  Body and mind are both unified by this means and you gain poise.  When shall you practice poise?  Always.  When you are in the crowd and when alone.  You must maintain a sense of sanctity and serenity at all times.

 

Mind is a whirlpool which rotates all the times with various thoughts. Once you achieve stillness of mind, you can be away from all the body feelings and mental disturbances.  Mind should be purified to support the body in its work forgetting the pain.  Mind also should support your brain to work and think in the right way.  Spiritual practice through a caliber Master brings your mind a condition to support your body and brain, so that you can lead a wonderful life.  And mind it; this life is not only for you but also for others.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, the infinite Spirit, quiet the turbulence of my outer and inner life.,

Grant me quietude of heart and mind,

Help me to silence the voice of the world,

And to maintain calmness and tranquility in all the varying condition of the day,

May thy peace fill my being,

And make me open to thy blessing.

 

Yours lovingly,

‘TRY TO GAIN A SENSE OF TRUE MANHOOD.”

 

O” Master,

 

I live in this house of yours feel as mine,

Whose walls are not built by man,

None can invade my dwelling other than Thee,

None can usurp my rights without Thy knowledge.

 

Although we are virtually constituted alike, we manifest different qualities.  People are in different grades.  Some are dense, gross; others are equipped fineness of vision, fineness of feeling, fineness of thought.  It is because some yield to their lower nature, others constantly strive to manifest their higher qualities or Higher Nature.  The choice rests with us. The individual becomes vital by his own effort.  We must climb higher and radiate higher qualities in our life.  To do this requires faith and courage.

 

By nature, man differs from one to other.  OK.  But one quality is hidden inside this special species. That is Love. Though we are different in various levels like physical, financial, educational and positional levels, we must be equal in our mental levels.  Bring spirituality to you to balance your mental levels.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, the Infinite & Indivisible Being,

Thou art the eternal in this fleeting,

Thou art the abiding in the midst of the changing,

Teach me to cling to that, which is stable and lasting,

May I draw all my inspiration and strength from Thee alone.

Fill my mind with noble exalted thoughts,

Guard me from all that is ignoble and weak,

And keep me ever in thy peace.

 

Yours lovingly,

“LIFE IS CONSTANTLY RADIATING THAT WHICH HAS EITHER GOOD OR EVIL INFLUENCE.”

 

O’ Master,

 

Sun, Thou coveted light of the world,

The grey sky tried to hide Thee;

That she might enjoy Thee alone,

In her blind, selfish greed,

But Thou, universal Lover and Light-giver,

Tearing off her veil of mist,

Came forth to gladden our hearts

 

When we have really found something deeper, spontaneously we try to live it.  When Truth is lived in our life, it inevitably reaches other lives.  Whoever comes near us, whatever life we touch, we give something spiritual.  We give our atmosphere which we create through our attitude or mind and our physical habits.  Whatever we have, that we share constantly.  Our good and bad moods affect the whole of humanity.  We are inseparable parts of one great Life and can possess or hold nothing apart from it.

 

Our godown of Love never gets emptied, because it belongs to Him. We have something with us to give to others which never get exhausted.  Like the Sun, we must radiate always this something to everyone, whoever comes in front of me.  Spirituality helps us through a magnificent leader to radiate this divine quality.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, the All Pervading Presence,

Fill my life with Thy radiance,

That it may shine forth and brighten the lives of others,

Grant that I may never harm or wound any of Thy children,

Or turn them away from Thee.

 

Yours lovingly,

‘BE LIKE A ROCK, UNSHAKABLE.”

 

O’Master,

 

Hold fast to the end,

Goal can ne’er be far,

If thy heart clings to ‘THAT’ with Love,

With love hold fast to the end.

 

Discipline should not throw you down.  When you take up spiritual life without any ulterior motive, not seeking case or comfort, you seek tests and difficulties to prove your strength and endurance.  You do not shrink from trial.  Never pray to minimize your burden, but that you may be given wisdom to meet it.  There are moments when we feel thwarted and when our spiritual vision seems blocked.  These are the moments of greatest growth.

 

Look at a rock, how strong it is. It never bothers about the heat, cold, rain and wind.

It undergoes every outside pressure.  Rocklike man does not mean he does not have any positive qualities.  He has become rock because of positive thinking and attitudes.  He cannot deviate from basic quality of his strength and courage.  With this courage, we must try to give Love to everybody.  Love requires strength for radiating to others.

 

Thoughts of the day;-

 

O’ Master, the All-beneficent Spirit,

Make me firm and undaunted in my spiritual life,

May my mind rise above the ever-changing objects of this world,

And be fixed always on Thee,

May my heart be unfaltering.

May it never turn away from Thee,

Make me strong in Thy strength,

May I never fall back or waver in my devotion to Thee.

“SPIRITUAL FRGRANCE IS NOT LIMITIED BY ANY BOUNDARY LINE, IT REACHES ALL HEARTS THAT ARE YEARNING FOR THE HIGHEST”

 

O’ Master,

 

“Love, hope & joy”

These three flowers of fruitful life

Scatter their precious perfume with wings of angels.

Their unseen power transforms world’s ugliness to beatific vision,

Storms of anger to gentle peace,

And brute passion to Divine affection.

 

The only way we surmount the evils and limitations of the world is through the realization of love.  When we know we are all children of one Divine Being, we naturally become united.  This is something we do not realize through theory.  We find the centre of this realization in our own heart.  When we have found it there, we realize it in the universe.  But if we do not realize it in our heart through humility and devotion, we may seek it everywhere in the world but e shall find it nowhere.

 

Spiritual practice is for enlightenment.  Fragrance of an enlightened soul spreads everywhere he goes.  This fragrance of light takes away darkness from the people who always surround him.  It also penetrates into the hearts of his loving people.

This limitless expansion of the light of fragrance can be given to anyone whoever craves for it and give spiritual benefits and mental transformation.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

May my Master, the infinite Being in this hour of prayer,

Direct my whole thought and feeling to Him.

May I never cease to be conscious of the sweetness of His Divine Presence,

And may I convey that sweetness to others.

 

Yours lovingly,

Golden Message No.46

 

“YOUR FAITH MUST BE FERVENT AND LIVING”

 

O” Master,

 

We believe that Thou dost open our eyes of understanding,

And place us in Thy kingdom of safety,

Where conflict of doubting life hath no entry,

We believe for this and this alone.

 

Your faith must be like an altar flame, burning every moment.  Not only will it bring blessing to you, but it will bless others.  There must be no doubt, no question, and no hesitation.  The worst enemy in our life, in all human life, is doubt.  We can overcome it by the light of understanding.

 

Spiritual practice with faith gives tremendous results, faith in the Master and system. Doubts should cleared immediately by spiritual practitioners.  Doubts create blocks in upward journey. Simple faith in the Master helps the practitioner to go high in spiritual life.  Faith relieves from tension and worries about the future.  The faith confirms your safety in the hands of your Master.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, Thou art the unfailing Source of my sustenance,

Thou art the Source of all my power and strength,

Light in my heart a burning faith,

That all my doubts and questioning may be burned to ashes.

May I depend upon Thee at all times,

And find my rest and peace in Thee alone.

 

Yours lovingly,

“TO MAINTAIN OUR EQUILIBRIUM IS THE GREATEST PRACTICAL WISDOM.”

 

O’ Master,

 

Covet not pleasure,

Shrink not from pain,

Stand firm on the balancing rod of life

He who seeketh pleasure can never escape pain:

For they are coupled, - the inseparable twins,

Let thy soul live in tranquil harmony

Amid pleasure and amid pain

 

When dwell in the body we are easily agitated.  The balance is easily destroyed.  But when we dwell in Spirit we maintain our poise.  The small-minded man is easily disturbed, but the big man keeps his balance under all circumstances.  When we are willing to live or die for our Ideal, we remain calm and poised in all the varying conditions of life.

 

Emotional imbalances are common as far as a common is concerned.  These emotions come from his “I” and the behaviour during this time is because of his ‘samskaras’. Divine wisdom means the truth enlightened by a spiritual practitioner to read the circumstances and the cause behind it.  When you analyze the truth behind every incident, you can control yourself in your emotions.  If anyone acquires mental purity, his wisdom corrects and directs him in these situations.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, Thou Who art changeless and abiding,

Grant to me such trust in Thee that I may cross over all difficulties and trials,

And find absolute peace and quietude,

Help me to shake off all fear and anxiety,

And rest in the consciousness of Thy protecting Presence.

“KNOWLEDGE OF ‘GOD’ DESTROYS ANGUISH, IT DESTROYS DOUBT, IT DESTROYS WEAKNESS.”

 

O’ Master,

 

When Thou art with me I feel lack of nothing,

Love, joy, wisdom and strength,

Faith and prayer, surge in my soul,

All will I forsake to have Thee as mine.

 

Where is our highest security? Not in wealth or outer material resources.  It is in the Living connection with our Master.  Our real safety lies in a spiritual principle.  Only one who has made spiritual practices, his habit will gain this connection.  Our life, our hands and feet, our mind and heart, are wholly changed as we have bigger, loftier understanding.  Now we see Infinitude only here and there, casually, but we must create our contact with Him fully.

 

When someone is connected with his Master, who takes care of everything, his negative qualities vanish like the thick clouds after a heavy rain.  This divine connection destroys everything those negative qualities, like anger, intolerance, prejudice, etc. which disturb his life affecting his evolution. ‘Connect with Him, who disconnects everything unwanted’.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Master, the Infinite spirit, help me to know Thee,

That I may rest my life and strength and happiness in Thee,

Free my mind from doubt and ignorance,

That I may grow more and more conscious of Thy tender love and unceasing protection,

May I ever seek Thee and depend on Thee in all undertakings,

May I find my peace in Thy Divine Being

“A HINDRANCE CEASES TO BE A HINDRANCE WHEN WE FACE IT WITH COURAGE”.

 

O’Master,

 

Thou dost change all earth’s harsh notes into heaven’s unspeakable sweetness,

At Thy touch a broken reed sounds Divine harmony,

And mortal voice sings immortal song,

Bother not the way I select,

Strengthen myself with Thy courage.

 

In all entanglements, in the midst of turbulence and adversity, we can walk safely if we have spiritual courage and unfaltering faith in the Master.  Those who are calculating and dependent on their own strength stumble many times while those who are fearless and trusting and unspoiled by the vanities of the world they go through the hardest experiences with undaunted spirit.  They triumph over every obstacle.

 

With the Master, hindrances are nothing.  Instead of worrying about obstacles, strengthen yourself with tremendous courage and faith.  If “My Master” in everyone is capacitated, then the rest is in His hands.  Go ahead with courage.  Bring the brightness of bravery and neglect every fear.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

My Master, the almighty, helps me to turn my whole thought and aspiration to Thee,

Thou knowest my innermost struggles and difficulties,

Thou alone canst remove them,

Open my heart to Thy beneficent influence.

Grant unto me an undaunted spirit,

May I live this day bravely, looking to Thee for strength and wisdom to meet each stop.

 

Yours lovingly,

“MAN IS BORN TO CONQUER NATURE, NOT TO BE AFFLICTED BY NATURE OR THE WORLD”.

 

O’ Master,

 

Be not a puppet in ambitions hand, beaten and buffeted!

Wouldst thou be enticed and enticed by ruthless tyrant?

Should a child of eternity stoop so low?

Nay, be not trapped or befooled by the seeming,

Verify thou art ever free, an heir to eternal and omniscient Life.

 

One who is attached to the things of the world, the world claims that one.  One who is wholly given to God or to ‘My Master’ the world cannot hold or harm him.  No matter how much we have blundered, we all have a right to go to our home.  We should never give way to discouragement or doubt. By acquiring purity of mind to the level of purity of Nature, anyone can conquer the Nature and nature.

 

The Nature never punishes anybody.  We get punished by it.  Once anyone is connected with the Divine Master or The Nature Consciousness, he neither bothers about the Nature nor does his nature works against it.  The Nature consciousness or THAT gives the strength to the nature to function.  As long as you are not disturbing the nature’s function, you never get disturbed by the nature.

 

Thoughts of the day:-

 

O’ Thou Infinite and eternal Being,

Thou art the One to be known;

Thou art the One to be worshipped,

Free my mind from doubt and ignorance

That I may know Thee truly;

And find in Thee new courage, light, strength and fearlessness.

 

Yours lovingly,

SSB
