Ø The best time for meditation is midnight. You can achieve results very soon by practicing meditation at that time. Nature is in a quiet mood then and that makes concentration easier.
Ø
Ø Look, God is all-pervading and all-powerful. There is nothing that cannot be granted by Him. Whatever people seek from Him, He supplies like a servant, as it were. That is the reason why one should not ask Him for anything. You should remain satisfied with whatever He is pleased to give on His own.
Ø
Ø Why should you pray to Him for paltry things like worldly riches? Pray to Him that He may give you strength to become pure and unselfish, and the power to realize the Truth.
Ø
Ø It is the desire that is the root of all evil. You cannot have contentment so long as you are subject to worldly desires. When the desires are gone, you are free.
Ø
Ø After death, worldly desires continue to remain in a subtle form. Death only destroys the gross body, but the senses, mind, and intelligence all remain in a subtle form. In that subtle body, sense enjoyments are all the more acute. After the subtle state comes the causal state, even then the mind and other phenomena exist in a form of “seed”.
Ø
Ø Desire is the cause of rebirth. If you get rid of all your desires, you will not be born again.
Ø
Ø My only advice to you all is to forsake idleness. An idle brain is the devil’s workshop. You must do everything with concentration and diligence.
Ø
Ø The world is not a place where we can afford to be inactive and lazy. It is only when you devote yourself to work with no selfish end in view that you can have real comfort or rest. Go on doing your work like a brave man. The western nations make good use of their time, and therein lies the secret of their strength in this world. If you, too, make good use of your time, you would achieve great results. God is behind you. Always remember Him in everything you do. Every action has its inevitable result; we cannot afford to forget that.
