There was a family here today.  Their son , who is 18 year old is entering a Gurukul. He came near, looked intently at us, and asked , " when will I get Atma Jnanam( Self realisation)?". He is very clear that Gurukul is for Atma Jnanam. We are not clear..  If one cannot find harmony in and around oneself,  then , it means, we are not committed 

#####

From the vision..

 problems connected with human relations will be solved if we understand the working of 3 qualities or gunas or natures  in us and others , that is satva, rajas, tamas. Satva is Harmonious nature; rajas is active restless nature; Tamas is lazy nature. Understanding these in us and others frees us from disharmonious attitude 

######

Satsang 
Solitude 
Satvic food

To trigger God remembrance 

And transcend the three 3 gunas or natures or qualities 

####

Very often you are not prepared.  You must become fit to receive grace.

Mere proximity to saint is not enough.  Our mind must be receptive. 

#####

Grace is nothing but remembrance

Mataji --- He ordained that pleasure must accompany pain. Only through realisation,  you are beyond.  

Mataji --- why suddenly a mood of discontentedness comes...It is because of the changing moods. Once you realize God, moods will not upset you. Even if you become angry, awareness of  the Reality will be there. 

Mataji --- our task on this earth 🌎  is to become free from all the 3 gunas...

######

Satchidanand Swamiji-- moods are because of innate tendencies (vasanas )....After realising God , your attitude towards all is full of love

#######

Vinobaji -- a little more food induces us to sleep. Everything is in vain, as long as laziness is there. Physical Labour alone removes laziness.  Life is  given to attain the highest.  With laziness we cannot reach the highest.  Laziness follows sleep and blunders. 

######

Vinobaji-- Rajas is activity.  It has itch to attain this or that. It gushes with ambition.  Tamas and Rajas are interchangeable.  After laziness we are active.  After activity we become lazy.

#####

Vinobaji --- Satvaa has to be wounded. To get more light from lantern , the soot of satva  must be removed . Pride of satva has to be removed.  How to remove the pride. By getting used to satvic activity.  We are proud when we rarely do a good job. We are not proud of breathing or sleep because it is our nature. 

Vinobaji  -- a tree 🌳 never eats it's own fruit howsoever attractive and delicious it may be
