The attitude of ' you ' and ' me ' is this wall between the guru and his disciple.


The attitude of ' you ' and ' me ' is this wall between the guru and his disciple. If it is not pulled down, the state of oneness between them is difficult to breach.

He who has no evil thoughts in his mind


He who has no evil thoughts in his mind, why should he fear anyone? Eyes do their work of seeing. Then why be embarrassed.

There are innumerable saints in this world


There are innumerable saints in this world but "our father' (Guru) is the Father (Real Guru). Others might say many good things but we should never forget our Guru's words.

Without unflinching Faith and Patience, you will not see God.

Athithi is whatever creature is hungry

Athithi is whatever creature is hungry and comes to you at the lunch time, whether it is a human being or a bird, beast or insect. All these seek food. The real athithi that you get, you do not regard as such ... At kakabali (offering food to crows) time take plenty of cooked rice outside the house and leave it there. Do not shout or call for any creature nor drive any away. Whatever the creature that comes to eat, let not that disturb your mind. You get thus the merit of feeding lakhs of guests! 

On the same subject Sri Ramakrishna in Gospel http://www.belurmath.org/gospel/

The Master was conversing with Mahimacharan. He asked him: "Isn't feeding people a kind of service to God? God exists in all beings as fire. To feed people is to offer oblations to that Indwelling Spirit. But then one shouldn't feed the wicked, I mean people who are entangled in gross worldliness or who have committed heinous crimes like adultery. Even the ground where such people sit becomes impure to a depth of seven cubits. Once Hriday fed a number of people at his native place. A good many of them were wicked. I said to Hriday: 'Look here. If you feed such people I shall leave your house at once.' (To Mahima) I hear that you used to feed people; but now you don't give any such feasts. Is it because your expenses have gone up?" (Laughter.)

There is no need to go far to find Me

There is no need to go far to find Me. I am always in you. Forget your name and form. What remains ? That supreme consciousness is Myself. You see Me in yourself and in all beings. He who loves Me thus and meditates on Me surely comes to Me. This is the truth supreme.

If another gets fortune

If another gets fortune or power, we cannot put up with it; we scandalize him. When he meets with a loss, we rejoice. But is this good? 

Tuesday, February 3, 2015

When that man attains prosperity

When that man attains prosperity, what loss have we really suffered? But people do not consider this point.
