“Chanting the Divine Name is not for the sake of worldly life, i.e., not to make it better, but to reduce the attachment towards it. Yet, it will not disturb the worldly life either. Whatever happens, one should consider it to be for one’s own good and live with faith in the Supreme Being.”
“A householder once met me and said, ‘I chant the Name in my free time.’ To that, I replied, ‘If there is any time in life that is truly important and meaningful, then it is this one — how can you call it free time?’”
“Then he said, ‘The fruits of past actions are inevitable; they must be endured — this is what all saints say. If this is true, then what is the need to remember God while going through those karmic experiences?’”
“Truly, this is a valid question. It is indeed true that one has to endure the fruits of one’s own actions. But when sufferings arise, the mind does not find peace. If one keeps the mind engaged in the remembrance of the Divine during that time, one’s contentment is preserved.”
“In our present state, believing that ‘Whatever happens is by God’s will’ or trusting that ‘God will do what is good’ is the easier path to follow. Though this seems simple to see, it holds deep significance within — keep this in mind.”
“For such unwavering trust to arise — that ‘Whatever is to happen by God’s will, let it happen’ — one must maintain constant awareness of Him.”
“Contentment in what is, and remembrance of the Divine” — this alone is the command of the Sadguru.
“When someone else gives us sorrow, and our awareness breaks — that is not their fault, it is ours.”
“‘How will I be free from worldly temptations? How will my mind become concentrated?’ — it’s okay if you don’t know this. Instead of focusing on letting go, focus on holding on — that is, holding on to Divine remembrance.”
“If one holds on to God, all virtues will automatically develop — just like all body parts grow in proportion. When water is poured at the root of a tree, it reaches all parts — similarly, if one doesn’t forget God, everything else falls into place.”
“When suffering in the darkness of ignorance, you hold on to My remembrance, My awareness, and you will eventually see the light,” — this is what Lord Krishna directly advises Arjuna in the Gita.
“If a lamp is to keep burning, oil must be continually added; similarly, for Divine remembrance to stay constant, one must continuously chant His Name.”
“When one’s awareness of God becomes unbroken, then one’s eating, drinking, getting up, sitting — all actions become acts of Divine service.”
The remembrance of God is our ultimate goal. Let us do all other things keeping that in mind.
