Gurur Vakya (Messages)

* Even if there is no desire to attaining liberation and no element of devotion, Meditation will have to be put into practice for leading a successful life. Concentration is essential for success in any work. Meditation is an inescapable and unique means of achieving concentration. Therefore, if not for the sake of doing good to others, at least for leading one's own life rightly, one will have to bring meditation in daily routine.
- Swami Chetanananda Saraswati


* Think and think about atman(Self). Mind when it is one-pointed is great indeed. This mind is the 'Eternal Mind' is called 'Chidakash'. A pure mind is 'Clean space', Siddhi, Yoga. When you are in this clean space, you find true fulfillment. Then the difference between 'you' and 'I' will vanish. In this clean space is Mukti (liberation), Bhakti (devotion), and Shakti (divine power)
- Bhagawan Nityananda


* That divine light which is illuminating the entire universe does not belong to any caste, creed or scripture. That self-illuminating Sun-God is equally the creator, sustainer and destroyer of all. Diversity is man-made and imaginary. The feeling of duality, fit to be avoided like venom, is the cause of universal destruction and is a hazard in the parth of human effort towards eternity. To see oneness in all is the best practice and accomplishment for human beings.
- Swami Chetanananda Saraswati


* In the beginning there was only one religion - the religion of the Self and that religion alone is true. It is second to none. All differences exist only in nature. Only to the external vision. To the one who has realized the Atman and through that, God, there is only bliss in that state: Sat-Chit-Ananda. That alone is true religion.
- Bhagawan Nityananda


* Once a crow was searching for food. He noticed the carcass of a buffalo floating in a rain water drain. The crow descended upon it and started biting into the flesh. It so relished the flesh that it started living over there only, as water was also available from the drain. In course of time, as the drain joined the river, the carcass also flowed into the river. The crow enjoyed more now. As time passed, the carcass floated down the river and ultimately drifted into the sea. With time, the crow grew tired of the salty sea water and the fierce wind. The flesh of the carcass also no longer gave any taste or satisfaction. The crow thought of having a change of food and took a flight. In that vastness of the ocean, it could not find any tree or even food. Neither did it find any piece of land as a resting place. Not only that, even the carcass had drifted out of sight by now, carried away by the wind and waves. The crow, exhausted, fell into the sea and perished.


It is extremely important to remember the goal of human life. A GOAL-LESS LIFE IS A WASTED LIFE
- Swami Chetanananda Saraswati


* One must seek the shortest way and the fastest means of get back home. To turn the spark within into a blaze, to be merged in and to identify with that greater fire which ignited the spark.
- Bhagawan Nityananda
