The attitude of the worshiper and the worshiped is the seed of devotion
(bhakthi). First, the worshiper’s mind is attracted by the special qualities of
the object of worship. The worshiper tries to acquire these special qualities.
This is spiritual discipline (sadhana). In the... early stages of spiritual
discipline, the distinction between worshiper and worshiped is full, but as the
spiritual discipline progresses, this feeling diminishes and, when attainment
is reached, there is no distinction whatsoever. Irrespective of the object of
worship one has grasped, loved and sought by spiritual discipline, one should
have firm faith that the individual self (jivatma) is the supreme Lord
(Paramatma). There is only one wish fit to be entertained by the aspirant: the
realisation of the Lord (Iswara Sakshatkara). There is no room in the mind for
any other wish.
- Prema Vahini, Ch 39.

Lord of Death (Yama) is as omnipresent as Lord Siva! Yama is associated with
the body (deha); He cannot affect the individual soul (jiva). Siva is
associated with the individual soul, but He won’t allow the body to subsist for
any length of time. The body is the essential vehicle for the individual
sou...l to understand its real nature. Still who knows when the body may become
the target for the attention of Yama? The individual soul, burdened with this
destructible body, must grasp the above-mentioned caution and be all-eager to
merge in Siva! No single moment that is passed by can be turned back. People
usually delay doing some things; yesterday’s till today and today’s till
tomorrow. For the tasks of spiritual discipline, there is no yesterday and no
tomorrow. This very moment is the moment! The minute that just elapsed is
beyond your grasp; so too, the approaching minute is not yours! Only those who
have this understanding engraved in their heart can merge in Siva. - Prema
Vahini, Ch 40.
Reining in your senses is the growing in wisdom. -BABA.

The inborn desires and mental impressions (samskaras) make or mar the
individual (jivi); they are the steps that take all individual souls to the
goal. Samskaras make the individual wade through loss and grief. Only through
good mental tendencies you can attain the Lord. So every individual has to...
be wholly engaged in good actions (sath-karmas). Good and noble action is
authentic worship (puja). It is the best form of remembering the Lord. It is
the highest devotional song. It spreads love, without distinction and
difference. It is service done as the duty of the individual. Be engaged in
such noble actions (karmas). Revel uninterruptedly in the thought of the Lord.
This is the royal road to the goal you have to reach. - Prema Vahini Ch 29.
To secure the grace of God you must adhere to right conduct and observe purity
in thought, word and deed. - BABA.

Bhagawan exhorts us with His sweet words today. ...
While struggling in the spiritual field, take on the Lord Himself as your
protector. To instill courage in the child, the mother persuades it to walk a
few steps and turns about, but she will never allow it to fall. If the child
falters and is about to lose balance, she hurries from behind and catches it
before it falls. The Lord too has His eyes fixed on the individual (jivi). He
has in His hand the string of the kite, which is humanity. Sometimes He may
give it a pull or push to loosen the hold; but whatever He does, be confident
and carefree, for He is holding that string. This faith will harden into an
innate desire (samskara) and will fill you with the essence of love
(prema-rasa). The string is the bond of love and grace. You are the kite, bound
to the Lord. Earn auspicious merit so the bond of love and grace is firm and
grows. - Prema Vahini Ch 29.
Why fear when I am here? Place your faith in Me. I shall guide you and guard
you.-BABA.
