Each sadhaka has to chalk to proceed towards the realising of the Atman in us

#####

Care and concern for others is an expression of feeling the presence of God everywhere

#####

Purity of heart will express in the form of care and concern for others

#######

Ram Nam etc must lead us to feel the presence of God within us

########

If our mind is not in a position to dwell on the abstract - the Atman - we can consider that Power as having a form and dwell on it until the mind is ready to enter the abstract

######

As long as one identifies oneself with the body, there is ignorance

######

Dry acceptance of the formless without purity of mind will not do. They are simply enamoured with the formless but fail when it comes to conflicting situations. 

#######

Until we see the common denominator in all, our stage is at the knowledge level and not at the experiential level

######

Ram Nam
Satsang
Bhajan
Seva

---- these must help us in moving towards the realising of the common denominator

#######

All the 24 hours must be used to connect to God

#####

The moment we know we are being watched by Him from within, we are on the track

#######

We go for a walk and see a tree. We label it as a tree. The tree existed even before labeling. Labeling is done by the sense of individuality. What is there is existence....

Remove the label given to anything and you will feel free

#########

When you take Prasad and you see a person who has not got Prasad, naturally you give your share to that person. For this you don't have to go through Geeta. ..in a bus, to give your seat to a lady in advanced stage of pregnancy, you don't have to be given a lecture...these happen naturally and spontaneously

########

Papa was not offended by the touch of the feet of the sadhu because he was seeing the common denominator in all

Chapter 2 Shloka 17

अविनाशि तु तद्विद्धि येन सर्वमिदं ततम् |
विनाशमव्ययस्यास्य न कश्चित्कर्तुमर्हति |

Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul.

######

Chapter 2 Verse 18

अन्तवन्त इमे देहा नित्यस्योक्ता: शरीरिण: |
अनाशिनोऽप्रमेयस्य तस्माद्युध्यस्व भारत ||

Only the material body is perishable; the embodied soul within is indestructible, immeasurable, and eternal. Therefore, fight, O descendent of Bharat.

######

Chapter 2 Verse 27

जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च |
तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि || 

Death is certain for one who has been born, and rebirth is inevitable for one who has died. Therefore, you should not lament over the inevitable.

######

Our sadhana is to realise Him within and then without...The goal to be scaled is to feel His presence all the time...

#####

 The feeling of being is there all the time but we do not focus on this primary aspect but go around after everything else

######

The sense of individuality is there because of sense of beingness. But we overlook this and hold on to the sense of individuality

#####

Intense aspiration - intense yearning - intense prayer -- required
