Hands to Work, Mind to God

Sri Sarada Devi

He who is really anxious to cross the ocean of the world, will somehow break his bonds. No one can entangle him.

Never fear. He is ever looking after you. Do His work and practise Sadhana. A little work daily drives away idle thoughts from the mind.

Call on the Lord who pervades the entire universe. He will shower His blessings upon you.

***********************************************

Open your grief-stricken heart to the Lord. Weep and sincerely pray, “O Lord, draw me towards You, give me peace of mind.” By doing so constantly you will gradually attain peace of mind.

Banaras is permeated with the spirit of God. Any being that dies here- be it a devotee, an atheist, one belonging to another religion, or even an insect or a moth- will surely be liberated. Many great sinners who visit Banaras are redeemed of their sins by touching the symbol of Lord Viswanath.

An unmarried person is half-free whether he prays to God or not. He will advance towards God with rapid strides when he feels a little drawn towards Him.

God is one’s very “own”. It is the eternal relationship. One realizes Him in proportion to the intensity of one’s feeling for Him. Don’t be afraid. Always remember that somebody is protecting you.
