We must blend bhakti with our move towards God. Papa says bhakti is the root., vairagya is the trunk, jnana is the flower, parabhakti is the fruit. Otherwise it will be intellectually thrilling but the journey will not be sweet. Nee yenna ganathe song conveys the need to blend bhakti in our approach to God.

Roadblocks on our journey towards Him


Self-centredness 

Reliance on our puny intellect 


*******


Bhakti must never be diluted.  Bhakti is unconditional and total subservience to Him. That is why Bhajan singing was introduced by Mataji. Bhajan makes our journey smooth.

When we are with a Mahatma,  we are inspired by the ideal he stands for but later as we move away from him, we become lukewarm.  That is why we are asked to have the heroic spirit

So long as the mind of a sadhaka still lays it's hold upon material things, so long as it's roots are firmly fixed in worldliness, so long as it depends for satisfaction on external contacts, he ought to keep a strict sentinel over his thoughts and actions, and should take the utmost precaution not to swerve from the path---Beloved Papa's (Swami Ramdas' ) words 


*******


Simplicity in his ways, conduct and mode of life is the first and foremost quality that manifests in a sadhaka-- Beloved Papa's 

( Swami Ramdas') words


*********


Sadhaka is a Tyagi not by any rule or imitation but his life cannot but be imbued with a spirit of renunciation. -- Beloved Papa's (Swami Ramdas ') words 


********


Sadhaka's life is a life of total self-sacrifice wherein service of God in humanity is both the means and the end -- Beloved Papa's (Swami Ramdas ') words 



***********


If a sadhaka is tremendously determined to achieve Divine Love,  Peace and Bliss, his self or ego must go and all that is done for it must also go.-- Beloved Papa's (Swami Ramdas ') words 



*************


The heart must be pointing always to Truth and Light, leaving behind untruth and darkness.  Make believe and dilly dallying Devotion is delusive and deceptive -- Beloved Papa's (Swami Ramdas ') words
