"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Words of Hope

Sri Sarada Devi

Don’t be afraid. Human birth is full of suffering and one has to endure everything patiently, taking the name of God. None, not even God in human form, can escape the sufferings of the body and mind. Even Avataras, saints and sages have to undergo the ordeal of suffering, for they take upon themselves the burden of the sins of omission and commission of ordinary human beings and thereby sacrifice themselves for the good of humanity.

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

No one can suffer all the time. No one will spend all his days on the earth in suffering. Every action brings its own result, and one gets weal or woe accordingly.

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

If my child gets covered with mud or dust, is it not my duty to cleanse him and take him on my lap?

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

But child, don’t be worried. These earthly ties are transitory. To-day they seem to be the be-all and end-all of life and to-morrow they vanish. Your real tie is with God.

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

Pray to the Lord to make your heart as pure as the star. As a result of sincere and regular Japa and meditation you will find that the Lord will speak to you. All your desires will be fulfilled and you will experience pure bliss.

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
