Sri Sarada Devi
The conjunction of the day and the night is the most auspicious time for calling on God. The mind remains pure at this time.
***************************************************
Even in the midst of the most intense activities, one should at least remember God and adore Him. Gradually increase the time of meditation and prayer.
***************************************************
The Mantra purifies the body. Man becomes pure by repeating the name of God. So repeat His name always. If you do good action, that will counteract your past evil actions. Past sins can be counteracted by meditation, Japa and spiritual thought.
***************************************************
The moon in the sky is covered by a cloud. The cloud has to be removed by the wind by degrees; then only one can see the moon. Does it pass all of a sudden? Similarly with spiritual perfection. The effects of past work are exhausted slowly. When one realizes God, He grants knowledge and illumination from within one knows it oneself. In the fullness of one’s spiritual realization one will find that He who resides in one’s heart, resides in the hearts of others as well- the oppressed, the persecuted, the untouchable and outcast. This realization makes one truly humble.
**************************************************
God is one’s very own. The more intensely a person practises spiritual disciplines, the more quickly he attains God.
God has given us fingers that they may be blessed by repeating His name with them.
******************************************************
The almanac makes a forecast of rain. But you do not get a drop by squeezing its pages. Besides, the Scriptures are filled with many useless things. One cannot observe, to the letter, the injunctions of the Scriptures. In this Kali Yuga one attains to God if one simply sticks to truth. The Master used to say, “He who speaks nothing but truth is lying on the lap of God."
