Focus all energies on service. See what you can do for each of your friends. You will see how every small detail in your life becomes somehow manageable and situations become clearer. Do not look outside yourself for answers. The personality will be less and less, more subtle. No more sorrow, No more suffering. No more judgment. This is truly His message. This is joy. Who determines the goal in one’s life? Ultimately each person must choose. An adolescent should choose good company. Each company we keep carries its own energy. So even if we are very good, if we choose to keep company with criminals that energy is taken onto us. Therefore, choose carefully the company you keep. |

Source of Conflict
|
You must rid yourself of the source of conflict, not only solve the conflicts as they arise. You must actually destroy the source of conflict itself. What is that source? When one is separate from the Divine, one will always find oneself in conflict. Therefore, effort must be made to open the channel, which lies inside one, which connects with the Divine. This has to be a constant effort. Here Mantra is great help. Now is the time to intensify Sadhana. Repeat the Name. Repeat the Mantra. Let there be sound. Continue reading “Source of Conflict” |
Wait Before Speaking

Anything Which Infatuates the Ego is not the Spiritual Path.
Anything which infatuates the ego is not part of spiritual path. Release the pain. Turn all attention to God for He will reveal to you your true mission in life. THAT IS TO SERVE AND TO HEAL. Be truth. Be patient. Be full of love. Be compassion. All that you seek, be that. Clear away the illusion. All the joy you seek is already within you. |

Forget These Emotions
Forget these emotions. We know these desires. You must rise. Happiness can not be found in relationship between man and woman alone. Without yearning for that higher love the lower self remains unnourished as the higher self realizes its dilemma. Make happiness dependent on no one man or woman. All happiness is in the hands of the Almighty. Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. |
To Overcome Duality
To overcome duality, one must merge the individual spirit with the Divine. That is done through a culmination of effort. There are times when little effort is required by some and seemingly endless efforts required by others. One must be attentive at all times to receive Divine guidance. We have our worldly responsibilities but now is a crucial time when you must conserve energy and use it in the right places. |
Nothing is Constant
Situations change according to conditions at hand. Things that are told in advance may also change. Nothing is constant. Every person is different. Each has his own free will to exercise in the manner chosen by that person. Not everyone is cut out to do the same work. Similarly, not every person is going to come to the same state. Personal endeavours are left up to the individual. Guidance is given whenever effort is made. Hints are subtly given to gear you on the correct course. However, you must choose your own direction. |
Fire Temples will be Places of Refuge
So think always: These are my two choices. If I choose to argue, I consciously choose to harm others around me. If I choose to love, to tolerate, to care, to understand, to harmonize, then I choose the highest good for all. And Grace will cast many blessings upon you. Look at what your limits are but do not dwell on them. Look at your strengths and build on them. Spend time in silence, YAJNYA, meditation, etc. Free yourself from the bondage of attachment. |
