Without a bond or tie of the previous birth, nobody goes anywhere

Why should just a nod of their heads by the people in appreciation turn your head?


Why should just a nod of their heads by the people in appreciation turn your head? Rather, it should be your
chosen deity whose heart should melt in compassion and burst out into beads of perspiration!

My guru, after depriving me of everything, asked me for two paise. I gave them to him. He did not want metallic gifts. What he asked for was (i) faith (nishta) and (ii) saburi i.e., patience or cheerful endurance.

Gnana Marga (path of knowledge) is Ram Phal


Gnana Marga (path of knowledge) is Ram Phal. Bhakti Marga(path of love or devotion) is Sita Phal. The pulp of the Sita Phal is almost on the surface and can be assimilated quickly, whereas the pulp of Ram Phal is deeper within and is hard to get at.

Athithi is whatever creature is hungry and comes to you at the lunch time


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!
