[December, 2003] Since Hanuman was incarnated in the monkey race, we respect every monkey as Hanuman. When Hanuman appears directly to us, to avoid mocking and neglecting His form, we are first developing reverence for the monkeys. In the same way, when the Paramatman incarnates in human form, and the Paramatman is to be served with love (path of Nivrutti), then the nature...
[29.11.2003] O My son! Listen carefully. Practice the knowledge and get uplifted spiritually. It is not considered great when sacrificing what can be given easily. It is considered great when sacrificed to God that cannot be given easily and this proves our strong bond with Him. The act of giving depends on the value of the item given. Prayers through words and meditation through the mind are offered to God. What is the value of words...

Why did You give such miraculous power to the undeserving?” That is what I asked...

Part-1: When a preacher preaches the disciples or guides the misguided spiritual aspirants (sādhakas) to the right path, the preachings have to be done according to their psychology. The truth must not be revealed straight away, as one cannot digest that truth at once. When the Guru shows a boulder (big stone) and asks his disciples
[24-01-2003] Showing devotion only when receiving the grace of God is not a true devotion. Showing love to those who benefit us is not a true love. When we are happy and show love to others, it is not called true love, because they are the cause of our happiness. It is our own love for ourselves. We love things and people, which give us happiness because we love ourselves. So, it is an expression...

[28-01-2003] Part-1: According to Hinduism, there are three religions. They are Advaita (Monism), Vishishtadvaita (Special Monism) and Dvaita (Dualism).

Part-1: [11-01-2003] The greatness of a sādhaka depends on the greatness of the sādhanā he has done. The greatness of that sādhanā depends on the greatness of the fruit obtained by that sādhaka. One's education can be determined by the status of one’s job and the salary. His greatness is due to the greatness of that education. There are only two sādhakas who have received the best fruit from...
Why is Lord Datta seen in human form always? Because ‘Datta’ means donation. That means sacrifice. The Lord Datta is always enjoying the fruits of the bad deeds of His devotees and giving them eternal happiness. As per His divine constitution, at least 1% of the bad fruits must be experienced by the devotees as God Himself undergoes the remaining 99% punishment on behalf of devotees. This is like God...

Part-1: A leader should always strive for the welfare of his people. But today's leaders are trying to earn money for themselves and for the development of their family members without worrying about the people. But Radha is not such a leader.

[3.12.2003] We are unable to practice the things in the matter of God that we easily practice in the matter of family. As soon as a man and woman in distant places get married, who are not related to each other, this man and woman forget their blood relatives, parents and brothers. The reason for this is that the bond established between them is the cause of momentary happiness. But when the bond...

Parrt-1: [12-01-2003] When the Paramātman came to earth in human form, He would be extremely happy by seeing the sincere devotion of human beings. By drinking this devotional wine, He will grant whatever boons the devotees ask for in that intoxication. No matter however much Nishkama Bhakti a devotee may possess, at some point, human nature will not fail to express it. ‘That nature is called...
The essence of all the Vedas and all the Shastras is to understand the cosmic form shown by Lord Shri Krishna. Even before Shri Krishna showed the cosmic form, He was in the cosmic form. Even after withdrawing the cosmic form, He remains in the cosmic form. Only Arjuna's vision has changed. The sun is always shining. On wearing black glasses, he looks like a globe without shining. As soon as the spectacles...

When it is said that this awareness is Brahman, there is no difficulty in understanding...
