Ø One who can detach his mind from material things will see the light of God and His presence in everything. Worldly attachments draw people away from God and scorch them in the wild fire of the world.
Ø
Ø Repeat His name, my brother, repeat it as much as you can. You will have nothing to fear.
Ø
Ø God is Truth, and to realize Him you have to be completely truthful in your words and deeds. Hold fast to the way of truth, do harm to no one, and God will draw you to His sheltering care. Truth must be adhered to strictly. There should be complete harmony between preaching and practice. What comes out of your lips has to be acted upon. You cannot realize God unless you are perfectly and transparently sincere.
Ø
Ø What would you gain by listening to numerous discourses on God? After listening to one or two discourses that may appeal to you, plunge yourself in spiritual practices. It will not be any use if you hear a lot and do not act up to anything of it. You should make every endeavour to reflect in your life whatever little you have heard.
Ø
Ø What you require is a good deal of faith, reliance and patience; and with all this, you will gradually reach the goal. You should hold fast to faith and never lose it.
Ø
Ø Faith is the foundation of spiritual life.
Ø
Ø Purity, Truthfulness and Honesty should make the corner-stone of your life. And there should be Faith. With these, a man will have contentment in life, whatever circumstances he may happen to be in. Contentment in all circumstances is the mark of religious life. (Swami Vijnanananda)
