Swami says wonderfully : " Everyone should act up to the motto: Help Ever, Hurt Never. Every educated person should engage himself or herself in selfless service to society with humility and a pure heart. All academic distinctions or even observance of spiritual practices are of no use if there is no love in the heart. Love and compassion are inherent in every person. Each has to share this love with others. Failure to share one's love is gross ingratitude to society, to which one owes everything. One should give one's love freely to others and receive love in return. This is the deep significance of human life.
=========================================================================================================== Never forget love. Love is the form of God. Love is God. Live in love. Only then can you understand the reality. Do not go by what others say. Follow your conscience. Never lose faith in God under any circumstances. Sometimes even your parents may try to dissuade you from taking to God-ward path. You should tell them that God means everything for you. He is your true friend. You love your mother because it is she who has given you birth and fostered you. You consider someone as your teacher because you learn your lessons from him. You treat so and so as your mother, father, teacher, etc., based on your relationship and experience. Truly speaking, all these relationships come and go just like moving pictures on a cinema screen. Do not be deluded by the pictures that appear on the screen. Have the picture of God imprinted on your heart. Develop strong conviction and consider Him as your sole refuge. Only then can you have the vision of God ". - From Bhagawan's 2004 Dasara Discourse. ========================================================================================================= When one is involved in the world, only worldly thoughts will arise during one's last moments. To those who yearn wholeheartedly for the Lord, the Lord will present Himself. One may love his/her kith and kin, respect them and keep them in good humour so long as one moves about in the world. But, while still being in the world, one must offer unstinted love and loyalty all through the life to the Lord alone, none else. -From Swami's Divine Discourse on May 6th, 1983 . ========================================================================================================== Serve people with no thought of high or low; no Seva is high, no Seva is low, each act of Seva is equal in the eye of the Lord. It is the readiness, the joy, the efficiency, the skill with which you rush to do it that matters. Train yourselves to serve God by serving man,in whom there is God installed in the heart. Convince yourself that the seva of man is worship of God. - Swami =========================================================================================================== Do not be led away by doubt and vain argument; do not question how and whether I can do all this. The cowherds of Brindavan also doubted whether the little boy who grew in their midst could lift Govardhanagiri and hold it aloft! The thing needed is Faith, and yet more Faith. - From Bhagawan's Vijayadasami Discourse in 1953 =========================================================================================================== God is everywhere. He is omnipresent. We need not search for Him in some corner. He is immanent in us. We should develop a feeling that God is always with us, in us, above us, and below us. One should develop such firm faith. Then one can see Him at any place of one's choice. - From Bhagawan's Divine Discourse on 6th August' 2008.
