“WHEN THE MASTER BLESSES
US, EVERYTHING THAT
WE DO, EVERY LIFE THAT WE TOUCH, IS TOUCHED
WITH ‘HIS‘BLESSING”.
O’ Master,
Since Thy holy touch, I have lost all
craving for sense-pleasure;
Things of this great world please me no more,
Life’s momentum may carry me on through
passages old, new, and unknown;
But amidst it all, my heart yearns for Thee
alone.
If we
have Master’s blessing, we carry it everywhere; we have it all the time. Even in our blunders, when we fall down and
make mistakes, even then, we cannot be crushed, we cannot be lost; because we
have found something, which upholds and sustains us. We gain this through faith. That is why such tremendous importance is
laid on faith. It is a very precious
thing and we can acquire it through the sincere and earnest outpouring of the
soul.
Blessing
is not a thing to be given to anyone because it is not an object. It is to be taken by the person with his love
and faith. These blessings are
abundantly available with the Master, but it is upto the practitioner to
receive it from time to time. The
internalized Master gives blessings to the carrier whenever he is in the right
path and prevents him from doing unrighteous things. Our touch, if it is in the way of
righteousness, can become ‘Midas Touch’ and if it is for the self-interest,
Master’s blessing cannot be expected.
Thoughts of the day:-
O, Thou Giver of all blessings,
embodiment of all love and wisdom,
Help me to carry Thy love and blessing
to all mankind,
May I never cease to serve Thee through
my words and actions.
Grant that I may draw all my inspiration
from Thee,
And rest my life in Thee alone.
Yours lovingly,

“WHEN WE LEARN TO GO
THROUGH THE DIFFICULT PLACES HOLDING OUR
MASTER EVER BEFORE US, WE ELEVATE OURSELVES AND HELP OTHERS.”
O’ Master,
Compassionate Spirit, guide our steps!
Do not let us blunder or be led by
self-will.
We know not how to follow not what to follow
amid these, our life’s endless ways.
When we
lift our mind to that which coincides with our higher aspirations, we create
happiness and peace in our own life and we carry them into other lives; because
what we have in abundance ourselves, we are able to share with others. We do share with others constantly. Not only when we talk about higher things but
also on all other times, we shared consciously and unconsciously. We cannot receive blessing without giving it.
Generally,
everyone wants to help others but something prevents people from doing it.
What is
really blocking them? It is their fear
and impure thoughts. When these impure
selfish thoughts are removed from the mind, everybody can help others. Spiritual practice is only to remove these thoughts
and give more strength and courage to the practitioners. When anyone is able to internalize the Master
and experiences the strength of ‘My Master’, he can go to places where real
need for help is in demand and serves the needy with love. This is supposed to be performed with self-less interest. Spiritual elevation is not only to help
the practitioners but also helpful to others whom he loves.
Thoughts of the day:-
May the Supreme Master who abides
within me,
May He grant me evenness of mind
And a peaceful heart,
May He make me staunch and steadfast
in my daily life.
May He help me to remain calm and
serene in all circumstances
And may I never forget to turn to Him
at every hour.

“WE
OWE A CERTAIN
OBLIGATION TO OUR
OWN ‘MY MASTER’. WE SERVE OTHERS
BY CULTIVATING IT.”
O’ Master,
Dost Thou know, who knowest all,
That I need Thee at all hours of day and
night,
Both in joy and sorrow, dark and light?
When we do not seek to unfold our higher nature, we weaken
our spiritual fibre and it suffers. It
cannot die because it is immortal, but it can suffer through our
carelessness. When it suffers,
everything suffers within us. Others
also suffer through us. When we live our
life carelessly, we defeat its purpose; we shatter our faith and we lose our
power to serve wisely. An illumined soul
always understands the needs of others and perceives the best way to meet
them. He has a sense of kinship with all
living things and sympathy, forbearance, and loving-kindness are natural to
him. He expresses these qualities
spontaneously through every act and word.
Transformation is the real goal of spiritual practice. Whatever we could not do so far, we start
doing it with the help of our inner Master.
We are obligated to Him for transforming us to know our own
strength. We develop our strength to
serve the Master as well as others, whoever needs it. We have to cultivate all the good habits and
develop divine thoughts to help others.
While we expand ourselves through the expansion of our soul, we acquire
a lot of good things in our life. While
we enjoy with our Master, we also need to give the enjoyment to your kith and
kin. By bringing everyone we love to
spiritual practice, we oblige our Master.
Our goodness should reflect in our actions. At last, we should reach a
condition of ‘righteousness’ where we cannot help ourselves from helping others.
Thoughts of the day:-
May the Infinite
& Supreme Master help me to gather up my thoughts and feelings and offer
them unto Him;
May He make my life, my
thoughts, and actions more worthy:
May He remove from me
all imperfections and grant me His loving blessing.
Yours lovingly,

“YOU CANNOT BE CHEERFUL
WITH GLADDENED HEART, WITHOUT DISPELLING SOME OF THE GLOOM OF THE WORLD.”
O’ Master,
Once in the dark, I stood alone aimless but
expectant,
But an unlighted lamp appeared; whence, I
knew not,
Its unkindled flame led me on, forward,
onward; up or down,
I knew not, for space was no more
O Thou mysterious light, He who sent thee
to guide me, I am His forevermore.
Our thoughts are magnified; our action is made beneficial
through the light of cheerfulness. When
a man is gloomy, you do not help him by weeping and wailing with him. Bring in the light and that will lift the gloom. Cheerfulness heals and unifies. It stirs new hope in the despondent and
discouraged. It is a constructive
force. It stimulates to new through and
action.
Whenever we face failure, we become mentally tired and
gloomy. This is because of our fault of
not knowing the inner power. Once our
inner power is activated, we can remove our sadness and sorrow. Spiritual practice is to empower ourselves to
remove sadness in others and give them courage and strength when they are in
trouble. When we achieve certain
spiritual quality, we can cheer up always and cheer others. That becomes our habit. People should experience happiness when we
are with them. Our simple presence
should make disappear all their unwanted sorrow and worries. Let us cultivate ourselves the habit of
giving pleasure to others.
Thoughts of the day:-
Blessed
Divine Master, help me to carry light of Thy Divine Spirit into the World
That I
may never cast gloom over any heart,
May Thy
holy radiance shine in my face
And find
expression through my words and actions.
Grant unto
me the power to cheer the sad,
Comfort the
distressed and bring Thy blessing to all lives that touch my life.

“WE MUST BE PATIENT, WE
MUST BE PERSEVERING, AND WE MUST BE STEADFAST, IF WE WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP OUR
HIGHER SPIRUTUAL QUALITIES.”
O’ Master,
Soul of the sanctified mystic is nurtured
in the bosom of Divinity;
His rhythmic heart beats in unison with the
unbroken harmony of life.
Blessed art thou who doth shed upon this
discordant world
Thy sweet beneficence of love and peace.
When someone strikes you, glorify the pain; be grateful that
you have a chance to prove your steadfastness and loyalty. A person’s test of strength and wisdom rests
on this, - how great is his sense of equilibrium under stress. A man must have so much balance, so much
wisdom that he can withstand the onslaughts of life.
For a spiritual practitioner, tests are very common. We must
withstand every test. We should advance in our steadfastness and quality of
understanding. Create courage and wisdom
when others give us pain. Spiritual
practitioner never loses his temper during bad times. We should have equilibrium in handling good
and bad situations. The sufferings given
by others should not affect us. However,
at the same time, we never give pain & sufferings to others. We should have the wisdom that ‘we are born
to serve the world with self-less attitude’. While rendering good services, it
is very natural that we get comments and criticism. We should go beyond these and attain the
higher human qualities.
Thoughts of the day:-
May I follow Thy
path, O Master, with unwavering faith and one-pointed devotion
Give me such
spiritual insight that I may know my union with Thy Divine Master
And may this so
strengthen me
That I shall be
unmoved by the hard experiences of life.

“WITHOUT STEADFASTNESS,
NOTHING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.”
O’ Master,
Companion of my life,
Before I found Thee I was an aimless
wanderer,
Roaming alone like a wanton child
Thy divine beauty hath tamed my restless
mind.
Everyone wants to be free from unhappiness, weakness, and
fear. But how can we, when we cling so
tenaciously to the ephemeral? So long as we hold to changing things and go up
and down with them, we can never find what we are seeking. Although we may have tremendous zeal for
happiness and higher ideals, we miss sour end.
The goal of spiritual life is to become a good human
being. For this, we must determine
ourselves to achieve higher ideals in our life.
Through an effective spiritual practice, we must attain the best
qualities of human being. Unless
otherwise we achieve it, we should not leave this practice. We should have the resoluteness to reach the
higher ideals through a vibrant Master.
Once we connect ourselves to such a Master, we acquire steadfastness and
everything can be accomplished in our spiritual life.
Thoughts of the day:-
All-loving Master, Thou drawth my
heart away from the fleeting objects of sense,
And fasten it to Thy abiding Reality
Awaken in me spiritual yearning,
That through it I may perceive Thee in
all things
May I never yield to weakness
Or fail in my loyalty to Thee, who art
the Source of my life and my strength.

“WE MUST KEEP OUR INNER
LIFE ORDERLY. WE MUST KEEP IT UP. THIS CANNOT BE DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE. HAVE FAITH IN THE MASTER.”
O’ Master,
I sit in this garden of mine
Speechless and wonder-struck
I walk in it gently with bare feet,
For it is now holy land with my Master’s
presence.
A person neglecting his thoughts and feelings cannot
suddenly get the blessing of the spiritual life. There are times when spiritual lethargy
overpowers everyone, but the brave heart rises above it and overcomes it. If there is lack of fervor, increase it,
double it, treble it, and the lack will be crowded out. The Supreme Master is never far away from
us. It is because of our conception of
Him that He seems far away. We hold Him
aloof by our attitude of mind. We draw
Him close through simple faith and purity of heart.
When we take birth in a spiritual family, we inherit
spiritual qualities. Sometimes, we are not.
Then what is the solution?
We have to find a decent and effective
spiritual practice with reliable guidance.
This gives us sufficient knowledge to lead an orderly life. Once we get
connection to a person of orderliness, we are likely to get the same qualities.
Keeping an orderly life is necessary to lead in
spirituality. If we do not have a
balanced material life, it cannot support our spiritual life. Bringing the divine Master into our heart is
the only solution for it. The ‘My
Master’ never allows us to become hanky panky but offers us a decent and
dignified life.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou
All-compassionate Master,
Free my thoughts and
actions from all blemish
That they may
manifest Thy Truth at every step,
May my life move in
perfect rhythm with Thy Life
May I never grow
weary in thy service
Or lack in ardor and
devotion to Thee

“SERVICE MAKES US BIGGER,
MORE ENDURING, MORE FULL OF COMPASSION; AND THESE ARE THE QUALITIES WHICH MAKES
FOR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING.”
O’ Master,
All our resolutions are but brittle
deceptions
Save when Thou givest us Thy tender Hand of
safety.
Knowing this in my heart of hearts,
I shall banish all unrest of mind,
And wait here at Thy door in peace and
gladness.
Spiritual qualities manifest spontaneously through our
life. When we are imbued in even a small
degree with these qualities, we find the nearness of God far more quickly than
when we merely cling to dogmas or beliefs, however, lofty they may be from an
intellectual point of view. We come
nearer to our Ideal through our feelings, through our devotion and through
selfless service.
Human being cannot live alone. He is a social animal. We stay together in a society only to help
each other. Inspite of dwelling in the same
planet, we forget to serve others.
Actually, our purpose of living together is to love each other and
extend the help in between whenever necessary.
Spirituality teaches to love everyone in this universe. Individuals are different in their nature,
but love is the same, which everyone can understand. When we do service to this world, we should
forget ourself and remember Him.
Because, we are serving the children of God or the Divine Master.
Thoughts of the day:-
O’ Master, enlarge my
heart, that I may bring truer service to Thy children
May a new and strong
love dawn in my soul,
May my vision grow
clear, that I may serve more wisely,
Make my life more
fruitful and full or helpfulness,
May it never fail to
bring Thy peace to all weary hearts and suffering souls.

“SERVICE BRINGS STRENGTH
AND RENEWAL.”
O’ Master,
My life’s wounds are healed at Thy touch
O Thou, my soul’s Physician!
Never had I hope for such benediction;
But Thou, Divine Healer, knowing my heart’s
prayer didst come of Thine own compassion
If your heart has only love, no evil can bind you. The love element heals; it heals diseases of
mind and body. It restores and
redeems. People who heal thus through
love are not aware of it. Such healing
is a very beautiful thing. It is done just as the flower gives its
fragrance. To accomplish such healing,
you must have faith as well as love – a living faith. If we have even a little grain of true faith,
our service will soothe, heal, and restore.
Healing through love is not a new concept. In olden days, saints used to cure diseases
through their love. If anyone is able to
love the Master and obtain the Love of the Master, that love can heal mental disorders. Physical diseases can be cured only by
accepting their samskaras. Once the
practitioner is able to burn the samskaras of others, by accepting it, he is
allowed to do so. This will happen only
when you forget yourself completely and live in this world with the help of
Master’s energy. Master’s energy has the
capacity to burn the samskaras. Hence,
please attain spiritual energy and do service voluntarily.
Thoughts of the day:-
May that One who is
the Giver of all blessedness,
Bestow upon me every
greater strength to live the life and serve His children
May I find a greater
and greater joy in that service
May I lose all
selfishness and calculation
And give freely with
gladness off heart
May His blessing flow
through me to all mankind.

“SPIRITUAL FEELINIG CANNOT
BE FORCED.”
O’ Master,
Language of the soul is spoken without
tongue;
Its soundless symphony is heard not by
keenness of ear,
Only by those who are deaf to the noise of
the world.
Those who are truly awakened, those who have a real
conception of spirituality, never try to force their ideas or views upon
anyone, far from it, their sense of humility is to so overpowering that they never raise their
voice or try to interfere with others. If we have something in our life that is
vital and real, we have little time to go about disturbing anyone. It is only when we have not reached the
depths that we make much noise and we disturb our peace and the peace of
others.
In silentation, there is not much to talk. However, for the sake of understanding, we
speak little. No spiritual practice is
forced, because, if the ‘I’ is forced to practice, spiritual energy will not
work on the practitioner. Forced ‘I’ is equivalent to strong ‘I’ and the subtle
spiritual energy cannot penetrate through this “I”. Spirituality should be served with love and
feather touch. There cannot be any
force. It is not compulsory for anyone to accept. It depends upon one’s requirement. God cannot enter where the ‘I’ blocks the
entry. Moreover, ‘I’ cannot enter into
the God’s kingdom, because heavy things
are not accepted there.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou who knowest all my feelings and
aspirations,
Make my yearning for Thee so earnest
and sincere
That I shall seek Thee before naught
else
Sanctify my thought and dedicate it to
the Highest
Make me more firm and steadfast in my
spiritual striving
And grant me thy peace.

“THE ONE WHO LACKS FAITH
MISSES HIS POINT OF CONTACT WITH ‘DIVINITY”
O’ Master,
Virtue and vice, good and ill,
Ever play surging havoc in the dual
conflict of life.
I abandon them forever and sit with Thee.
Divine Master’s glory is infinite and whoever learns to
float in the Ocean of His love knows neither fear nor care. Simple trustfulness is all He wants of
us. Be therefore of good cheer and
unwavering faith. All will be right
through His Divine Grace. Do not bother
about what you have not. He knows. He will not deny any blessing when the time
comes.
Faith is like rock, which is unshakable. In a scientific system like NC, faith is not
mandatory. After some days of practice,
the practitioner experiences the faith with his ‘My Master’ inside him. This gives him tremendous confidence in the
Master and he continues his journey with this faith. The experiencing of this faith should become a
‘condition of faith’ in the final stage of spiritual journey. Experiencing the
faith and being in the condition of
faith confirm the connection with the divinity.
Thoughts of the day:-
I pray with yearning Divine Master that I may be true to
that One, from whom has come my life.
May I never forget or be separated from that holy Source
of my being
May that One fill heart with understanding, faith, and
compassion,
May true devotion for that all-abiding One grow ever
stronger and stronger within me.

“FAITH IS THE ONE SURE ANTIDOTE FOR DOUBT
AND FEAR.”
O’ Master,
Flame of Faith, burn Thou in my heart day
and night without ceasing.
In Thy glow, I shall read this book of
life,
And walk my path of destiny without fear.
Flame of Faith, burn Thou without ceasing!
For I have no other guide to show my
course.
Do you think you can ever weigh or measure spiritual
things? Yet people cannot cease doing
it, until they find something bigger. If
you dispute and argue, you lose your vision and faith. Through faith, one attains God. Through argument and discussion, God goes
further and further away. When we come
in contact with a Higher Personality, we are lifted above the noisy, lower self
and we grow silent.
In our so-called bad times, we may require something which
we can depend upon. We create faith on
‘that’ and automatically get relieved from the tension. This faith sometimes really helps us from
fear and mental stress. If we are lucky,
we can get somebody or a special personality to whom we can trust and create
faith. This will definitely remove all
our doubts and confusion in our life. We
can accept Him as our spiritual and lively guide throughout our life. In NC, we have our Divine Master and our
faith in Him increases, once we apply our sincere mind in our practice.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou the Infinite
Being, free my mind from the bondage of the finite.
Make me free from the
delusion of egotism, anger, self-assertion
And all that severs me
from Thee
May I learn to partake
of the blessed qualities of the Supreme
That doubt,
imperfection, and weakness may vanish from my heart.

“WHEN THE SELFISH SIDE OF OUR LIFE DIES
AWAY, THE NOBLER, BIGGER, BRAVER GOD-SIDE WILL MANIFEST ITSELF.”
O’
Master,
Pay no heed to voice of ego;
It is false, yea, and always out of tune,
Sing thou after the Beloved’s voice!
It is Divine harmony,
It is sweet melody,
And it is perpetual peace.
The more we can release ourselves from the bonds of slavery
to fear and selfishness, the freer we shall be to enjoy the blessings of the
Infinitude of Divine Master. All
selfishness and weakness must be washed clean by the water of a new spiritual
understanding. We do this through
prayer, when it is earnest and sincere.
By constant longing and yearning and a prayerful attitude, we create a
great power within us.
Since the selfish attitude is negative and cannot attract
the positive side of ours, we have to remove all our selfish and negative
qualities. NC practice is only to remove
the ‘I- ness’ from us. Moreover, our sincere and dedicated practice will
definitely help us to remove this deadly poison of ‘selfishness’ by
surrendering this ‘I’ to our Master. ‘I’
is strong when it is with us, and once it is surrendered to Him, it loses its
strength. The ‘inner power’ or ‘God’ within us can become our guide, only when
we lose our ‘I-ness’.
Thoughts of the day:-
All loving, All-beneficent divine
Master,
Make my life free from all inharmonic
and discord,
That I may grow more conscious of Thy
Presence.
Purge my heart of egotism and vanity.
In this hour of prayer and at all
times, may I draw
My strength and inspiration wholly
from Thy Being.

“OUR MIND IS TOO OUTWARD”
O’ Master,
I think these thoughts when I am alone with
Thee in my inmost sanctuary,
Where no noise of mortal sound disturbs the
rapture of communion
That ever fills my soul in Thy holy Presence.
We are constantly reaching out; and we cannot move away from
the centre of our being without exhausting ourselves spiritually, physically
and mentally, because we cut ourselves off from the Source of supply (from the Divine Master). It is the outgoing man who blunders. The one who looks for help from outside
nearly always meets with disappointment.
Our real help comes from our own inner ‘My Master’. We do not go to heaven in a crowd. We do not seek the crowd when our mind is
filled with holy spiritual thoughts.
Meditation & silentation are the process of searching
inside. Silentation is the ultimate
stage where we can find ‘Him’ through our inner silence. Help from an outsource is possible only when
you make that source as inner one.
Experience can happen only through the mind and we can reach our mind
only when we keep silence. We have to
withdraw our mind from outside i.e.: not making any impressions though we see
outside.
Best way to avoid outsourcing is to surrender ourselves to
the Master; then the mind also gets purity and penetrating through purity is
easy, when the ‘I’ ness is not there.
Thoughts of the day:-
All-abiding Divine Master, help me to
assimilate Thy holy word in stillness.
Free my mind from ignorance and
outward ness
May I look to Thee for all guidance
and inspiration.
Do Thou protect and lead me in all I
say and think and do.

“IT IS ONLY BY LIVING A
LIFE OF HOLINESS WE CREATE WHAT ENDURES”
O’ Master,
To show us the way of light
Thou art come to this plane of life
As love and wisdom incarnate in flesh
Free of ego, free of stain art Thou
One may speak a word and it becomes vibrant, ringing,
living; it brings new life. Another may
speak the same word and it carries no weight.
A great personality, what does it mean?
It means that certain forces are embodied. It is a light, which we
cannot help seeing. Whatever that person
does is sanctified and what can sanctify but wisdom, knowledge of the
Ultimate. If a man is able to feel the
realities of life, he becomes so sensitive, so full of feeling that it makes
him a lover of God and a lover of humanity.
This comes only through wisdom and wisdom comes only through living the
life.
When we understand spirituality and spiritual life, we can
experience a holy life. This life is
full enthusiasm, courage and love but without weight. This weightlessness confirms our living in
holiness and truth. We cannot have any
kind of negative attitude and never we think about it. When we connect with our Divine Master, we
start receiving purity from Him. This
purity never allows going against the Nature and the Nature will always be
favorable to us. Holiness is living with the Nature and allowing the Nature to
live in us.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou Holy One, the Divine Master, may Thy beneficent power
flow through me, making my life pure and
holy.
May I consecrate
every thought and deed to Thee
May I open myself to
Thy blessing,
May I be willing to
give all that I may receive all from Thee.

“EVERY MAN MUST GO TO GOD;
EVERY MAN MUST SEEK WISDOM”
O’ Master,
If thou wouldst have Divine grace,
Then crave not the favour of man.
If thou wouldst soar heaven’s loftiest
heights,
Then let not thy feet be chained to earth.
Bear no malice or envy in thy mind,
For these are heavy loads to carry
He lifts those by His magic wand
Who comes free of heart and hand
Practical wisdom is something we radiate through our
life. Everyone can acquire it. Great souls are anxious to give wisdom, but
the one to whom they would impart it must have aptitude to receive. We cannot
reach God, unless we seek Him with childlike faith and devotion. We must have that higher wisdom which comes
from surrender to our Divine Master.
Reaching God is the ultimate vision of a man. One who practices spirituality realizes one
day that God is within and reaching Him is very easy. In NC, we do not try to reach Him but make
way to Him by negating ourselves. With
the Help of our Master, we expand our soul (God within) and prepare our mind to
receive Him. Divine Master is a
personality who has expanded His soul and become Godlike. By internalizing the Master, we can easily
evacuate the ‘I ness” from our mind and the evacuated area will become the area
of God. Wisdom comes automatically, once
we allow the Divine Master to expand in our mind and crate Godliness.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou Effulgent
Master, teach me how I may acquire true wisdom
Destroy all darkness
in me;
Grant unto me such
childlike simplicity and openness of heart
That I may be able to
reflect Thy Divine Light;
May that light radiate
through all my thoughts and actions.

“OUR FIRST DUTY IS TO OUR MASTER, THE
GODLIKE”
O’ Master,
The strength of my life art Thou;
The vigor of my spirit is ever in Thee
In Thee I live a perpetual life;
Without Thee the weight of death is ever
upon me.
Great men call upon us to know our true nature that we may
know our kinship with the Supreme Master. The practice of holiness gives us
this knowledge. Holiness is the best of
all good. Holiness is happiness.
Happiness belongs to him who is strongest in holiness. The world has never been enriched because we
have evolved dogmas and creeds. In
holiness, lies the strength of spirituality.
There are many duties in our day-to-day life. Along with this, there is another duty,
called Divine Duty. While we travel in
our material life, we should also travel in the spiritual life. The inactivated or unexpanded purity
available in us should expand to the maximum so that we never take birth
again. This expansion happens only by
the grace of our Divine Master. By
following His words and suggestions, we forget ourselves to get rid of all our
problems. Following His words is our
first duty and the rest follows automatically with His grace.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou All-beneficent Power,
Lead me by Thy compassionate Hand
That I may walk always in the path of
holiness;
That I may think only holy thoughts
And speak only holy words
Keep a protecting hold upon me
That I may not go astray or fall in
the struggle of life.

“WE MUST ORDER OUR WHOLE
LIFE SO THAT WE MAY LIVE CLOSE TO GOD”
O’ Master,
I walk before thee, and I watch over thee;
I dwell within thee and I surround without
thee;
In darkness, I reveal thy path, in sadness,
I lighten thy heart,
Fear not, nor be distressed; I infill all
space
I am with thee always.
We must rest our life on the fundamental facts of
being. If our life is empty, we must
fill it; and more easily, we are overthrown. But when we live in the material
world, more we become bound and more easily, we are overthrown. When we live
with the Master, nothing can overthrow us.
We should never fasten ourselves to the outer world.
For a real spiritual person, material life is a
disturbance. However, if we see
spirituality in material life, it cannot disturb us. We should feel that all the material things
that we are possessing today are belonging to our Divine Master and not to
us. When every material is surrendered to
the Master, it is spiritualized. When
the belongingness is lost, we become pure in our mind and can become close to
God or Divine Master. This closeness
only can give us peace at all circumstances.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Master, I lift my
thought and prayer to Thee.
Reveal unto me Thy

“WHEN WE TRY TO FIND OUR HAPPINESS FROM
EXTERNAL CONDITIONS, EVERY TIME WE SHALL FAIL.”
O’ Master,
They call me repeatedly when I sit by Thy
side,
They think I am lonely and unloved
How they pity my state!
They offer me much, but I smile
For they know not the secret of this unseen
comradeship
There is great joy, bliss, and happiness in the life on
spiritual consecration,
If we understand it.
When our spiritual understanding deepens,
Spiritual truths become living for us. It is so sad when
people close their
Door and deprive them
of spiritual blessing.
Happiness is the right of every human being. It is a state of mind. No material or incident has life to give us
happiness. We only try to acquire from
it. This happiness depends upon our
perception level and if we do not like that material or incident, we cannot get
happiness from it. But when we find our
inner happiness from within, it gives tremendous effect to us in maintaining it
without any material. Because, it is our
state of mind. When we acquire this
inner happiness & love, we do not try to get it from outside.
Thoughts of the day:-
O’ Tender Master,
Thou art the supreme Joy of my heart
Thou art the One to
be loved and sought after
Thou art the Eternal
among the changing
Thou art an unfailing
Light in the darkness of the world
May I feel Thy great
Life pervading my little life
Thy mighty Love
strengthening my lesser love
Surround me with Thy
holy protection
And grant unto me thy
peace

“THERE MUST BE DIVINE
ASPIRATION IN OUR HEARTS”
O’ Master,
Wondrous Choirmaster of the great universe,
I want to keep my gaze fixed on Thee
Whenever my eyes are turned away from Thee,
I fall out of rhythm
My song apart from Thee lacks harmony_
Help me to keep my gaze fixed on Thee now
and always.
This world is like a symphony and we each have a part to
play. We must so
tune our instrument that
whenever we strike a note, it will be a harmonious note.
Some people are evil;
not only so, they draw evil and produce only evil.
Others see the whole world as a sanctuary of the Divine
Master.
In the NC system, we propagate and practice harmony. When we seek for harmony, we should be
harmonious in our approach and attitude.
Each and everyone can aspire for peace, because it is one’s fundamental
right. In addition, nobody has the right to take peace of others. All the souls are pieces of the original
peace and this piece can
give only peace to others.
On the other hand, the ‘I’ in us sometimes drags away
Other’s peace for the
sake of our own peace. We must accept
the
aspiration of our Divinity within us and work accordingly.
Thoughts of the day:-
All-loving Master, bestow on me Thy
Divine grace
That all my shortcomings may leave me;
That all my selfishness and egotism
may be removed;
That my heart may be sanctified
And tuned in perfect unison with Thy
Divine Heart.

“THE DIVINE MASTER ALWAYS CONQUERS. NEVER BE FRIGHTENED OVER ANYTHING, BUT HOLD
FAST IN FAITH. NOTHING CAN HARM YOU WHEN
YOUR MASTER IS WATCHING.”
O’ Master,
With Thy strength
Will I break these fetters
That bind my ever-free soul
If Thou dost grant me strength
Thy strength I want, not mind, Nay, never
my strength I want
But only Thine-only Thine.
If you will keep your heart open and steadfast, the great Divine
Master will not fail you. Life brings discipline to make you nobler and
stronger. Nothing is too much for the
devotee who looks to the Master for his strength and protection. Be brave and enduring. The brave heart is invincible.
Once we come to NC, it is our moral duty to understand the
personality behind this system. Once we
are able to accept Him as our goal, the unconquerable Master gives every
strength & courage to live in this material world. Faith in the Master adds vigor and
extra-ordinary fearlessness to the practitioner. When we internalize Him in our heart, we can
experience the protection from Him always.
We do not get frightened for small incidents, with a hope that Master
will clear it.
Thoughts of the day:-
Supreme Master of the Universe,
Help me never to forget my Divine
nature
May I meet all dangers and
difficulties with undaunted heart
Looking to Thee for guidance and safety
Without Thee, no victory is possible
With Thee, there can be no failure or
defeat.

“WE MUST POUR OUT OUR HIGHER INSTINCTS
THROUGH OUR LIFE.”
O’ Master,
You bubbling brook,
Behold its clear, sparkling drops
It is a symbol of holy life,
Ever new, ever flowing, ever fresh.
For it springeth from an unfailing Source,
ever fresh and ever new.
When we first try to walk in the spiritual path, we find
only obscurity; but the awakened soul finds it bright and full of Divinity. It is obscure because we create our own
obscurity. It is bright for the one who
is awake, because he carries with him a light that is unfailing. When we see only darkness all about us, if we
can get a sense of Divine protection, light will come.
All of us are in dark until we get a guide in our life. The guide shows the way towards our goal. He shows the way with His torch of divinity to lead us towards the ultimate. All the higher instincts are within us only. However, we are unable to utilize it because it is hidden inside. These hidden higher qualities can be brought up in our mind with the help of a Master of caliber. In NC, we give more values to these qualities. Since it is not available with us, we feel to be away from God and lose peace, courage, and love.
Thoughts of the day:-
Thou art so near, O
Eternal Master, yet I do not see Thee.
Thou speakest, yet I
do not hear Thee.
Uncover my eyes, that
I may perceive Thy holy Presence.
Open my ears that I
may hear Thy divine Voice
Make me untiring and
one-pointed in my search for Thee
May I dwell ever in Thy
Light
And find my joy and
peace in Thee.

“IT IS SINCERITY OF PURPOSE THAT MAKES US
REALISE UNITY WITH THE DIVINE”
O’ Master,
There are many ways to sing:
Song of the mind, song of the senses, song
of the heart, song of the soul
It goes ever deeper and deeper
Holy thought and aspiration take away all hatred, envy, and
jealousy and we become gentle, beloved children of God. But this unity cannot be reached by
calculation or pretense, or by intellect alone, it requires more than mere
intellectual grasp. It requires the
spirit of sanctity. This unity is found
in silent communion, when we lose all sense of the importance of the outer and
feel the importance of the inner. There
is no such thing as imitation in the spiritual life.
Once we know our purpose of life, only then we try to
achieve it. Purpose of birth is to live
peacefully in this earth. Purpose of
life is to reach Him within this life. Once the life is peaceful, the purpose
of birth is met. And when one realizes
Him during this life itself, purpose of life is met. Spiritual practice is only for fulfilling
both these purposes. Through a sincere
and dedicated practice of NC with the help of Divine Master, we can achieve
both without any difficulty. If anyone
knows how to surrender to Him, it becomes very easy for him to achieve his
goal.
Thoughts of the day:-
Thou, Supreme Master, art the Eternal
among non-eternal things,
Thou art the Light of all light
Thou art the substance of all life
Sanctify my thought and lift my
aspirations
Grant me access to Thy Holy Being,
Make me Thine own.

“GOD IS REAL TO ONE WHO IS SPIRITUALLY
AWAKENED AND HUMBLE”
O’ Master,
Thou art the Maker of this life, the giver
of my sight,
Once I was ignorant of all this and sought
happiness apart from Thee;
But now Thou knowest my only desire.
To have perpetual sense of dedication to God, we must carry
the Divine Master in our thought and in our action, and realization will come
because of this. When it comes, nothing
can separate us from the allness, the all-abidingness of the Master. Then in the midst of all changing things, we
rest in ‘That’ which is stable. It is
through our understanding and a sense of consecration that we attain this
state. Mere intellectual reasoning will not give it. A man must have a finer intelligence; he must
be full of finer feelings and free from self-assertion.
All of us say there is God.
How do we know it is real? We
presume without any experience. Many
others say that there is no God. They
also have not experienced it.
Spiritual practice is only for experiencing Him. To experience Him, we must purify our mind
and thoughts. Only through a Master of
calibre, it is possible. In NC, our
Divine Master takes care of it. Experiencing God is possible only through a
personality who has experienced ‘That’.
He can only be fit to be a guide to lead us through the real path. Once we experience the state of ‘That’, we
confirm God is real; otherwise, it is only a myth.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou Infinite Master!
Thou art my protecting Father,
Thou art my loving Mother,
Thou art the nearest of all beings,
Make me more conscious of that nearness
And help me to trust more wholly to
Thy loving care.

“ WITH LOWLINESS OF HEART AND WITH ALL THE
FERVOR OF OUR BEING, WE MUST TRY TO REACH OUT TOWARDS THE ‘GOAL’ OF LIFE ”
O’ Master,
In the soft light of sanctity, as I behold
Thy transparent form of Divine loveliness,
My lowly heart is filled with unspeakable
gladness.
Again and again, the mind may fly away and follow its old
habits, trying to forget that which has given it a glimpse of Reality; but we
must try to bring it back. We must learn
to purify our heart and simplify our life.
When we have done this, the spiritual life becomes so natural that we do
not even breathe without the consciousness of the First Great Cause. Then our struggle is over and we find peace.
Many a person does not know the goal of their life. Once we take birth, we have to die. Between these two, what is that we have to
do? There is a purpose for our life -
Not to take any further births. The ‘I’
in me is only taking birth and not the soul.
When the soul is trapped inside us, it also moves with us from one birth
to the other. Why we should punish the
soul to move with us, though ‘it’ is the cause for our life. If the ‘I’ in me wants to continue my life
repeatedly, then I have to keep the soul within me. Otherwise, we can release it to the Original
Source. Is it not? Yes, that is our
goal. If we understand this, it is very
simple to achieve the goal through NC spiritual practice.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou Supreme Master, Thou art the
Eternal
among fleeting things,
Thou art the stable among all shifting
things,
Kindle in my heart a more fervent love
and devotion for Thee
Make my yearning for Thee more ardent
May I always follow thy path
Until I reach Thee, who art the goal
of my existence.

“TRY TO SERVE TRULY. ALL POWER COMES THROUGH TRUE SERVICE”
O’ Master,
Love is a miracle
Behold its working!
It bringeth life to the dead;
It brinigeth joy to the sad;
It brinigeth light to the dark and
despondent soul;
It waketh the spirit that slumbereth in
doubt.
Our earnest prayer is that the Divine Master may give us
strength and wisdom to follow ably what is best for our welfare, and for those
who look to you for help. This world cannot prove dangerous when our heart is
steadfastly fixed in our Master; but without love of Master and His mercy, life
is altogether unsafe and full of peril.
We can also pray to Him earnestly for light; try to do our duties with
non-attachment; practice purity and self-control in all our thoughts, words and
actions; this will give us peace.
A true service to a teacher is to become a best
student. Here in NC, if we practice
regularly, and follow Master’s guidelines, that itself is a true service to
Him. Physical service to the needy is
done due to love towards the humanity.
Understanding our goal of existence, we should practice spirituality;
otherwise, it does not have any meaning.
True service comes from the heart.
If the heart is filled with Master’s energy, servicing Him and the
Humanity is not at all a problem and it happens. Human race demands true
service from saintly people. With the
Master’s help, we attain strength and courage to perform it.
Thoughts of the day:-
Supreme Master, awaken
in me an ever greater consciousness of Thee
That I may never fail
to follow Thy guidance
Bestow on me wisdom to
serve the needy, gladness of heart to cheer the sorrowing, and
Loving-kindness to
comfort the distressed.
Grant unto me the
power to help all who are in need of help.

But now, through Thy patient and unchanging

We are happiest when we have a sense of spiritual values

through purity. We must try to touch the

what is lovely and far-reaching; or they can be detrimental to us. Every act of ours should produce something of

UNSEEN PRESENCE”
O’ Master,
The blessing of Thy Presence pervades my
soul’s sanctuary
My slumbering mind, breathing its lingering
perfume, is revived
My heart, purified and gladdened, reacheth
out to Thee in adoration.
Where Thou art, there abideth joy and
peace.
When one moves in perfect rhythm and harmony, for him there
are no obstacles. There is a Power
before which nothing can held. When
light is brought into the room, darkness cannot resist it. Similarly, when we
bring the light of Truth into our inner life,
No evil or sorrow can remain. We become invincible.
The unseen source of our life is our Prana. If this Prana is activated, it starts
spreading the light into our life and removes darkness. The cause of our darkened life is our own
samskaras. In front of this Divine light
of Prana, samskaras cannot withstand and lose the identity. If we allow more and more to spread into our
life, our life turns into a light. Light
means, peace, courage, love etc. This
will transform our mind towards good and our bad tendencies like worrying about
the future and the past may be stopped.
Thoughts of the day:-
May the One who has bestowed
On me all my blessings,
May that One rouse in me the
Sense of His Holy Presence
May I open my heart in guileless
simplicity
To His Divine influence
May I lift my thought to Him in
selfless aspiration
May His peace rest upon me.

“THE WORLD CANNOT HINDER US, IF WE DO NOT
ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE HINDERED.”
O’ Master,
Amid world’s confusion who will show me the
way
If Thou dost not come? Thou art the way
And Thou art the One that leadeth the way
I cannot find the way or follow the way,
save when Thou
Dost lead me by Thy Hand. Then I follow
Thee,
Yea and I follow
Thy way.
We are given freedom to choose our path. We are free to shape our destiny. We are our own enemy. If we absorb the world too much, it weights
us down. If we have once established our
contact with God, we cease to see evil and it cannot overcome us. There must be an objective in our life. The objective of the soul is to find a clear
connection with Divinity.
Sometimes, we find that the world is full of confusions and
uncertainties. This world can hinder
our life when we want to evolve further.
We have to create our own world of confidence with courage. Then no one can hinder in our way of
evolution. There is no value in blaming
the world; let us blame ourselves for not finding a way to dissociate from our
mundane interests. Once we internalize our Master and slowly evacuate ourselves
from our heart keeping Him there always, He creates
His own world in us, protecting us from the mundane world.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Thou All-wise Being, I offer Thee

Thou knowest my needs
Thou knowest my innermost feelings;

What avails quarrelling for thy freedom if
thy heart remains selfish and vain?

And be free as the air of heaven!
All these fragments, all these disjointed fibres of our mind,
if we can bring them together in one-pointed devotion, it will remove every
blemish from our heart and give us sight.
Our eyes are blurred now because we are looking here and looking there. Our eye is not single, that is why we cannot
see. By silentation, we clarify our
sight. In silentation, we do not become
inactive; but the channels, through which our usual activity flows, become
blocked and our higher facilities force open other avenues of activity.
The practice of silentation is for thoughtlessness. However, we receive this condition of
thoughtlessness within few days of practice.
This condition without achieving selflessness cannot help us in finding

Alas, I follow Thee but with frail and
faltering feet
Wilt thou not show me mercy
Thou friend of the lowly, and halt Thy
march a little moment?
Have pity on this poor pilgrim
And let him once worship Thy holy feet.
One cannot define or calculate the loftier things of
life. They are too big, too profound to
describe. We must feel them with
spontaneous soul-yearning and humble spirit.
These feelings alone can destroy our pride, our doubt and despair. If our inner life is filled with humility and
richness of spiritual understanding, nothing else matters. When we possess these, if good or ill fortune
comes to us, we know how to meet it. We
have
found the Power, which sustains us in all
circumstances.
We must be always conscious that we are with our ‘Master’ and
not away from Him. This feeling of
‘Masterness’ in us definitely removes all our fear and complexities. When we start experiencing that our soul is
nothing but Master’s property and does not belong to us, we gain natural
courage and enthusiasm to lead our life peacefully and harmoniously. If we forget our Master, we tend to lead an
ordinarily life with full of thoughts and unwanted feelings. ‘Forget not to bring Him inside’.
Thoughts of the day:-
May the Supreme
Master open my heart to His holy influence,
That it may be free
from all doubt, darkness, and ignorance
May He enlarge my

“OUTER CLARIFIED VISION
COMES AS A RESULT OF
INNER CLARIFIED VISION.”
O’ Master,
Wert Thou always so near and I hunted for
Thee so far?
Verily when I ran out to find Thee
I was going away from Thee
Faith have I none in my own wisdom or
vision.
Only those who have clarified vision can see, feel and touch
the Infinite. We seem to perceive
subtler things more clearly, when we close our eyes. This does not mean that we must become blind,
but these channels of the outer senses become barriers to our inner sight. When a mystic goes before the altar, he
closes his eyes to all sights; he closes his ears to all sounds; not that he
must assume blindness or deafness, but that he blocks the outer senses in order
that his inward sight and hearing may become more vivid.
In our day-to-day life, what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste may not be the real one, sometimes these may deceive us. When we withdraw all these and connect to our inner source, we know the truth. However, connecting the inner source or inner Master is not possible as long as you are purely depending upon the outer resources. Though we live in this material world with all the attachments, we must see, hear, touch, smell and taste through the inner source, i.e.: inner Master. For which, we have to internalize Him with the condition of experiencing the surrendering of everything to Him. When we see Him inside us through our inner vision, rest of our life is in His hands only.

“UNDERSTANDING IS BORN FROM
WITHIN”
O’ Master,
Thou art born of Spirit,
Not created by thought,
Nor moulded by fancies,
Thou Divine spark of unfathomed origin!
As vision Thou enterest in the heart of the
prophet;
In the soul of the poet, thou dwellest as
raptures of inspiration;
And in the throat of the singer as music.
Our whole nature will be washed clean by the water of pure
spiritual understanding. It must be true
understanding; however, not mere theory.
It comes as the fruit of realization.
When it comes we feel it, our whole life is filled with it. There is no more doubt or questioning. We do not hesitate; we do not calculate; a
new consciousness rises in us and we yield ourselves to that undying Reality
which abides in our soul.
When we are able to internalize our Master and connect with
Him, we can understand many things in this world as true and untrue. When we are able to experience ourselves
certain things as true, we feel joy and ecstasy. It is as if a blind man gets his vision and
sees the world and experiences in his own eyes.
Once we have this real vision of life through our inner Master, we tend
to lose all sorts of other false enjoyments and false
Inhibitions. This
understanding has to be born within and not from the outer world.

Loveliness,
In awe and dumb wonderment
I adore Thee!
Scientific knowledge alone is never sufficing. It may be a starting point, but we must look
for something deeper. We must reach the
storehouse of learning. Science plus
union with God makes up the Yoga system.
The term Yoga is a sacred word
– so sacred that there is a hush of silence when it is uttered. It signifies “union” – union with that, union
with the Supreme Master. We have to find
our access to the within and Yoga gives us the methods by which we can do this.
The confluence of ‘my Master’ and ‘me’ makes Yoga. Experiencing Yoga is wonderful and after
that, we do not value anything better than that. It is an experience of inspiring ourselves
through inner vision. Spiritual practice
is only for this. If the spiritual
practice does not lead to this condition, practising spirituality is a
waste. When we transcend ourselves from
the mundane world to the spiritual world, we have Higher Vision and Higher
Understanding about the world where we are staying. Once we go higher level, we can measure the
lower level and study through the vision from the higher level.

“THE LIGHT OF THE SOUL SHEDS ITS RADIANCE
EVERYWHERE”
O’ Master,
The light that I see yonder
And the light that shineth near
Is but the same light
It is soul’s light; It is God’s light;
It is the light of Love
This lamp of life may burn dim or it may
burn bright;
But ever is it undying in dying.
We all have that majestic soul within us. We can all grow with its expansion, or we can
stay in a narrow little circle and contract.
The greatest misfortune that can come to a soul is to lose its spiritual
vision. No one can rob us of it. Only
the things that rise within ourselves can rob us of it. They are our real enemies; they cheat us of
our rightful heritage.
Many of us do not know the power of our own souls. Everyone in this universe is possessed of
this but unknown about it. If we undergo
a best spiritual practice under the guidelines of a calibre Master, He opens
our inner eye with His spiritual power and shows us the inner vision. There is a lightless light inside us, which
cannot be seen through naked eyes. Once
we are able to connect with ‘It’, through the help of our inner Master, we
experience the lightness of the light.
We experience love and spread love to others through this light.

THE HEART OF THE MASTER”
O’ Master,
Now I sing only one song,
The song that Thou hast taught me
It never grows old to my ear.
Never destroy your own happiness through impatience and
thoughtfulness. The same thing can
produce both happiness and unhappiness. We can make ourselves so uncontrolled,
so unworthy of the blessings that surround us, that we are not able to take
good opportunities when they come. Truth
is a light, a glowing spiritual light.
When that light shines, there can be no darkness. Heaven is not a vague, visionary thing. It is something we create within
ourselves. We make it out of the
exuberance and radiance of our own soul.
When we are living in this mundane world, we have to face
many likely and unlikely things. We are
forced to select the best ones out of it, suiting to our needs. Sometimes it gives happiness and sometimes
unhappiness. Whenever force is applied,
it gives some kind of pressure and tension.
Once we are connected with the Divine Master, we are internally guided
to select the best ones depending upon our need. We are not confused, and we can be cheerful
always; because we never get into tension in our selection. The inner light is a knowledge, which takes
away our ignorance of truth. We can
create our own happiness by connecting with Him and never bother about
unhappiness in our life.

We must try to develop pure spiritual consciousness. Whatever may be our ideal or faith, if we
have sincerity of purpose and humility, if we have real yearning to know Truth,
One who reads our hearts, our innermost feelings, will direct our thoughts and
life to ‘It’ God is infinite,
all-abiding. He is within us.
Spiritual practice itself is for the realization of Truth,
also called as God. This can happen only
when we get an appropriate guide in our life.
Once we are sure about our goal and values of our life, it is easy to
select a right guide for our spiritual progress. God realization becomes easy when we get a personality
who has realized ‘It’. Otherwise, we may
waste our time in searching Him all through our life.
Thoughts of the day:-
May the Infinite and
Eternal One
Fill my mind and
heart with the consciousness of his Being
May He take fro me all
selfishness and egotistic feelings
May I love and serve
Him truly
And realize ever more
and more His presence within and without.
Yours lovingly,
Subrahmanya Shiva Balan

And how wilt thou receive

Waiting is for preparing;

And when He comes, all

It is necessary to open the deeper side of
one’s nature by patience, humility and obedience before one can take spiritual
training. That is why the great sages of
One who is disciplined is called a
disciple. Once we are able follow the
words of our Master sincerely and devotedly, it is very easy to become
disciple. This discipleship is the real
security under a Guru. Unless otherwise,
we are prepared for it, we cannot discipline ourself and in spirituality,
discipline is necessary. Anybody can
question the directions given by the Master, but no gossips and rumors are
allowed within the group of disciples.
Everything should be clarified and truth be found.
Thoughts of the day:-
I lift my heart to
the All-pervading Master, who is the giver of all strength and blessing
May He free it from
pride, rebellion and all unworthy thoughts and feelings
That I may realize
that, He is the source of my existence;

“FEARLESSNESS COMES THROUGH
THE PRACTICE OF UNSELFISHNESS.”
O’ Master,
It is not ambition that lifts us to our
goal;
Nay, not ambition, but our humble acts,
void of self
Give us wings for flight!
Souls who are full of self are always troubled and
fearful. We cannot hope not to have
moments of anxiety, but we can learn how to meet from them with calmness and
courage. Until we are able to give up clinging to the self, we can never enjoy
the blessing of rest in God’s protection.
So long as we have the slightest feeling that we are able to live our
life and do our work without a sense of consecration, the fever of struggle
will never cease and our aim will never be reached.
When we are alone, we have the fear and anxiety. However, when we associate with Him, we
become strong and energetic and lose fear.
Spiritual practice is for losing the fear and gain tremendous
courage. As long as we keep our Master
in our heart, there cannot be any fear or feeling of ‘self’. We are bold enough to say ‘God does not have
fear’ and we must be more bold enough to experience the presence of God through
our inner Master, who is the embodiment of Love and courage. We need not worry as along as we experience
the presence of our Master inside.
Thoughts of the day:-
Grant unto me, O
master, greater closeness to Thy Holy Spirit
Give me clearer
vision, deeper understanding
That I may realize how
little I can depend on my own frail self
And how great is my
need of Thee
I lay my life and love
at Thy Blessed Feet in humble devotion
And ask only for
greater power to give myself wholly to Thy service.

“THOSE WHO CAN TURN MORE WITHIN, THEY WILL

O’ Master,
I know that Thou art in my soul
I know this in my dreaming;
I know this in my sleeping’;
I know this in my walking,-
That Thou art my very life
Today, tomorrow, aeons hence and forever
more!
Love, forgiveness, tolerance are qualities that come from
within. They are the result of an
expansion of the soul. There is but one
standard in life, - to love and serve and not pay heed to the world. The great thing in any kind of work is to
keep ourselves quiet and serene, never fretful or morose. We cannot render true service until we have
made our body and our mind fitting channels.
When are we the happiest? When we have a sense of spiritual relationship
with mankind, then the veil of selfishness is lifted from our inner vision and
we realize the oneness of our soul with the Great Soul of our Master and with
all humanity.
Every service that we do in this world should have purity and tranquility in our mind. There should not be any expectation of reward for the service we render to the humanity. Once we spiritualize our service with a divine intention of serving our own brothers and sisters, there cannot be any dissatisfaction and worries. Serving along with our Master will definitely lead to joy and happiness. Our self should go and His ‘Self” should work, then there is no question of selfishness and negativity in our service.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Compassionate Being,
do Thou fasten my life to Thee with steadfast devotion and faith.
Remove all
self-limitation from my heart
And make me untiring
in loving service
May I feel blessed as
I serve
And may I express love
through every act of my life
May I never forget Thee
or Thy children

“KEEP YOUR
O’ master,
Driven by the storm of life I have come to
Thee, thou eternal Tree of shelter!
As I sit under Thy protecting boughs
My storm-pressed heart sighs with relief
Thou hast given me long-lost peace.
The practical province of life is to make our connection
with our Original Source, the Divine Master; and one of the best ways to make
this connection is by the establishment of tranquility through a vibrant
Spiritual Master. One who lacks
tranquility has to hard road to travel.
Tranquility is the real test to character. We need tranquility in all the varying
conditions of life. Unless we can
maintain calmness of mind, we lose all our blessing.
Tranquility is the state of mind during forgetting
ourselves. This condition is not possible
until we create some vacuum in us. By
almost reducing our thoughts, we reach this stage. Spiritual practice is for creating this state
of mind. This state of mind is required
to establish connection with the Divinity inside. Connecting with divinity is possible only
when we lose our impressions and thoughts.
Through a Divine Transmission, impressions can be gradually removed from
our mind and tranquility can be obtained.
In NC, we call this as quietitude, the absence of ‘Myself’ in me. If we are able to maintain this condition
throughout our life, life will be free from troubles, anxiety and worries.
Thoughts of the day:-
May the All-abiding
Presence of my divine Master keep me quiet and peaceful
May ‘It’ infill my
life, my thought and action
May I manifest that
Presence through love and harmony
May the Divine
blessing rest upon me and upon all living creatures.

“WE MUST LEARN TO BE QUIET
O’
Master,
Thou hast chastised me by Thy sad
countenance;
I lose all courage when Thy benign face is
turned away from me,
Thy displeasure is my long night of living
death
The blessing of Thy smile is my perpetual
day of unbroken life and bliss.
Suppose a man loses his balance; if you come with peaceful,
quiet mind, you exert a quieting influence on that person and help him regain
his equilibrium. You can always set a
standard. The way you do everything can
become an example. When you do things
casually, it means that you have acted thoughtlessly and lack ardor of
spirit. The true art of performing
action means doing things with poise and calmness. Our thoughts can make us careful or careless
and full. When our heart is full of
lofty aspiration, we move swiftly, lightly and thoughtfully; we are never
agitated or careless.
Most of the times, we lose our balance at the time of our
losing temper. This imbalance only
creates problems and dissatisfaction.
When we reach quietitude of mind, there will be poise all
the times whatever may be the situation at which we are. Losing the temper is the lowest attitude and
a spiritual person should not have it. When we practice spirituality under a
reliable Master, we can achieve this balance and our life will be always in
symmetry.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Master, still all turbulence in my heart,
May I be so surrendered to thy will
That I shall gain quietness of spirit
May I always trust in thy loving care
and protection
And find my peace in Thee

“WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR EVERY ORDEAL
EVERY MISFORTUNE. THEY LAY THE
FOUNDATION FOR SERENITY
O’
Master,
Seeking for my soul’s freedom, I have
wandered far
Oft in my haste, I have embraced far
greater fetters than those I have sought to break
In search of happiness oft have I plunged
into the un-enduring glamour of life
Like the foolish moth in the flame
In vain have I struggled;
In vain have I sought my liberation apart
from Thee
Serenity is a very desirable quality. It is like a tonic to body and heart. It brings great strength. We all need it. When we lose our serenity, we do what is
disturbing to ourselves and to others.
Now we depend too much upon our own thought and calculation. When we learn to depend upon our Master, then
we shall grow quiet and know true serenity.
As human beings, we undergo lot of tribulation in our life,
whether we like it or not.
But every time, we learn something from that. This learning helps us to undergo the next
turbulence and we attain tremendous courage out of it. Every samskaras that we create, we have to
undergo the results with or without our knowledge. A spiritual person never fears about his
problems because he is with his Master always.
The courage that we get when we are with Him is tremendous and cannot be
compared with any other bravery.
Thoughts of the day:-
O Supreme One, help
me to follow thy way of wisdom,
And learn to maintain
evenness in all the uneven circumstances of my daily life.
May I be undaunted in
my search for Thee;
And may I trust
wholly to Thy guiding Hand at every step.

“WE CHARGE OURSELVES WITH A
GREAT BLESSING WHEN WE EMBODY HOLINESS AND LOVE IN ALL OUR ACTIONS.”
O’ Master,
It is not necessary for man to be
God-fearing;
But let him be God loving and God-abiding.
Every man betrays himself when he neglects his inner
life. If man has lower instincts
uppermost, despite him they will betray him.
If higher – that too will show itself.
We lift ourselves higher and higher as we think of Divine things. The great universe is open to us, but we are
not always open to it, to its blessings, its inspirations, its lessons, etc.
Spiritual practice itself is for losing fear in God. The energy of God is full of love and
courage. For attaining this condition,
we need not do anything. The extreme love happens only in
silence. Once we practice silence, we
can attain this love and courage; because
God is silent always. Any other method
may create only fear but not love. Human
love is little different from Divine love.
Divine love does not have
any discrimination.
Thoughts of the day:-
Thy inspiration,
which I received never, gives me failure
My intention of
merging with Thee,
Definitely will happen one day
O’ the supreme,
please help me to devoid of negativity
And give me a permanent
solace in thy heart
Never fear on Him but
Love always

“THROUGH {DIVINE} LOVE, ONE GAINS HIGHER
INSPIRATION
O’ Master,
O Thou effulgent Spark, I fear Thee no more
I love Thy Presence; my soul delights in
Thy Presence;
Thy Presence is my supreme joy!
We are all waiting for the moment when we shall blend our
feelings with the great feelings, our life with the great Life; Human beings
can never be satisfied until they find ultimate vision. Now we are intoxicated with the sense of “I”
and “mine”. This “I” and “mine”, this
idea of separation from the Source, both are born of ignorance. When we partake of the universal entity, we lose
all sense of limitation and separation.
Partaking with the universe is possible, once we experience ourselves as
a part of it. This happens when we
experience Divine Love within, with the help of our Master.
Love is only source through which we can connect to our
Source. But love is a condition to be
experienced within, without any material support. A person with Divine Love
never expects anything from others. Not even, love. However, he goes on giving it without any
discrimination. Some Pranis may respond
to our love and some may not. Whether
they respond to us or not, we have to give love to them. Ordinary human love has some limitations as
well expectations. But, when we
experience divine love, we will not have any expectation. It is possible, once we attain higher mental
purity.
Thoughts of the day:-

“
O’ Master,
Thou art the fragrance of the flower,
Sweet taste of water,
Life breath of air;-
Verily Thou art the essence and substance
of all!
It is a calamity to forget our Divine heritage. It means a voluntary acceptance of
ignorance. When the mind is open to the
radiant light of the soul, we feel exuberant, and inspiration rises in us; then
whatever we perform, becomes effective.
We are constantly putting off the important things and giving our
attention to the non-essential and the lesser.
We must turn from the lesser to the greater and lay the chief emphasis
on the spiritual and essential. Life is
as we produce it through our thoughts,
Our aspiration and our action.
First, we do not know what is lesser and what is greater in
our life. Mundane life is the lesser and
spiritual connection is higher or greater.
The spirit or soul inside us is so vibrant and powerful which can take
care of our whole life, if it is activated.
We really forget our spiritual heritage of accepting ourselves as
souls. The reason is, we have no
knowledge about the spirit or anybody to explain how to be connected with
it. If we are lucky, enough to get a
reliable Master who can help us to create the ‘yoga’ or connection with our own
spirit, then our problems get dissolved without any struggle.
Thoughts of the day:-
Lift the veil from my

joyousness, the sense of freedom and all the spiritual blessings my heart longs

O’ Master,
Wonder, we could not forget the past
Forgetting the present, worrying the future
Once we reach Thy presence, past &
future drowns away
Only the presence, presence & presence
of Thee
For ordinary human beings, past is a heavy wealth, which may
give relief sometimes and not many times. If we consider the past as a lesson,
our present does not commit mistakes and the worry about the future does not
appear. Actually past cannot help us in any ways, it only gives some tension
& stress. Sometimes forgetting the
past can create new dimension in our life.
This new dimension is the present and
we have to use it to the maximum.
Once we come to a loving Master, who can afford to take care
of our life, we need not worry about our future. As and when we surrender completely to Him,
our present & future will be in His hands.
Past cannot work anything against Him.
All our samskaras can be burnt away through Him and we will have a fresh
life without affecting our past. ‘Be in
the present’ is the condition of a spiritual person. Because Master works always in the here-and-now state.

O’ Master,
“KNOWLEDGE KNOWS FACTS; WISDOM KNOWS WHAT TO
DO WITH THE FACTS YOU KNOW.
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS TO PRACTISE
WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNT AS TRUTH”.
My knowledge is limited when I think of
Thee
Human level perception never gives the
truth
I am in search of wisdom through truth
But never get wisdom without purity
I am sure that Thy presence in me gives
purity
Wisdom is not a problem at all now.
Many a time, human beings are cheated by its own creed
without knowing the truth, materially and spiritually. Our education is only to gain knowledge and
not wisdom. When we are in search of
material facts, our knowledge helps us to some extent. When we are in possession of facts, we must
make use of it to know further about facts.
Since we are limited in our power, we stop ourselves with the available
facts.
Once we acquire purity of mind and advance spiritually,
wisdom descends in us automatically.
This wisdom guides us in knowing the value of facts that we have already
possessed through knowledge. And we can
choose the right facts, which will help us in our life spiritually and
materially. This realizing the facts is
called wisdom. On attaining the
condition of wisdom, further we are lead by the wisdom itself towards
righteousness.
Thoughts of the day:-
What I think is not
the fact, but what I receive through Thee is the truth.
My association with
Thee confirms some facts as truth and some as untruth
Please show the path
towards wisdom and further
Allow me to be with
Thee always to become ‘That’
Love me not when I
give value to knowledge rather than Truth

Come what may, I decided to join with Thee
Congratulations unto myself for achieving
Thy kindness
Forgot myself and found Thee in me, the

We undertake many hardships in our life to know many new,
new things. Most of the times, we waste
our time in search of something, which may or may not give us peace and
happiness. We do not know that “Truth”
is simple, and to attain that. we should be simple in our approach and
style. ‘Truth Realization’ is the main
goal in spiritual practice. We should
adopt a simplest method of practice to realize the simplest, i.e. Truth. To gain anything from the nature, we need not
struggle or shout.
It is very easy, once
we align with the nature.
When we sincerely search for a divine person who can help us
in our spiritual & material life, we get it by the grace of God. Divinity cannot descend directly from ‘THAT’;
it has to come through a Divine personality.
Spiritual practice should be under the guidelines of a Divine
personality, who has realized ‘That’ without any struggle but with a simple
method. Then only, He can guide us with
the simplest method.
All the positive qualities are light and the
God is lighter than these qualities.
Ipsofacto, a Divine Master is the lightest
when compared to God.
Thoughts of the day:-
O the lightest of the lightest, help me to achieve ‘That’
Adopt me as thyself and allow being simple always

“PEOPLE DO NOT
O’ Master,
I never fail to accept failure when I look
forward on Thee
Failure and success are two sides of a coin
I do not plan myself but failure comes
which also I do not know
When I connect myself with Thee, I never
plan, but it happens
We human beings plan many things in our life. Some plans give us disappointments
and worries. Sometimes we really fail to plan, but we
succeed. Though planning is required for
a systematic life, but planning alone cannot help us. Divine grace
is more important for
success than our planning. However, we
fail to plan;
the Master inside us does without any planning. Spiritual practice
is not done on any
planning; it has to happen on its own way as it is.
Since the ‘spirit’ is working here & now,
spirituality does not work on any planning
In material life, we plan to succeed along with our desire to succeed. Success comes automatically, when we connect with Him and Him only always. We have to connect ourselves with the spirit, with the help of ‘My Master’ and nobody can help us in this regard. What is a plan, when He does everything without plan? When we cannot connect with a divine personality, we have to plan every time for success. Plans have no value, when we allow Him to do on his own way by surrendering everything to Him.
Thoughts of the day:-
O my loved one, help
me to reach Thy heart
All my earlier attempts
failed because of my wrong planning
This time I really
succeeded in connecting to Thee
My failure &
success does not disturb me in Thy presence
No one can succeed
without Thy help.
Remove my prejudice
and hatred and bring me towards Truth
