NEVER THINK YOU ARE ALONE

We assume that we are all alone and that nobody knows what we are thinking. A man thinks against his wife while sitting next to her, because he is confident that she cannot read his thoughts. However , we forget a very important point. Our thoughts are never completely private . Sitting in our heart, God takes note of each and every thought , and gives us the fruit of that thought .In our false confidence of privacy , we commit many offenses and throw away the benefits of devotional practice. On one hand we cry and on the other hand , we commit many wrongful actions.

It will take some amount of practice to remember that God is living inside us. Make it a point to realize Him in your heart. First try to do this every hour.

ACCEPTANCE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SHREE KRISHNA

A devotee who has understood his Divine relationship with Shree Krishna, says, “O Shyamsundar (Krishna)! Now I understand…” This implies that there is something being understood now which was not understood earlier. What is that? It is the only thing that needs to be understood, and that is, “You are mine and I am Yours.” There is no need to acquire a lot of other knowledge. This is all we need to know, and yet it has taken us countless lifetimes to accept that Shyamsundar is ours and we are Shyamsundar’s. If we had understood this or if we ever manage to understand this in the future, then there will be nothing further to be known or attained.

SPIRITUAL GEMS BY SHREE MAHARAJJI

The greatest reason for not accepting one's guilt is that people think of themselves as being very intelligent. If someone calls another person a fool, it is intolerable to anyone. If one thinks logically over it, (they would realize that) everyone is ignorant. Every person has intelligence so that they can simply get by. When Guruji also pointed out a mistake, (the devotee) takes it negatively. This is the greatest drawback. What should really happen is that if a disciple is told about his weakness, he should continuously reflect upon it and should make sure that it doesn't repeat in the future. Faults definitely diminish upon trying, but if not much effort is applied in improving the weaknesses then they will not diminish as readily. One must have control over their tongue while speaking to people of their age and their elders. They should not talk back. As for Guruji, it is enough to realize that, "The mistake is surely mine."

DESIRED GOAL OF THE SOUL

The desired goal of a soul is to receive the selfless Divine love of Radha Krishn. They are the Soul of your soul and are eternally related to you. Knowing this, you have to develop a deep desire to selflessly serve Them and love Them and strengthen your faith in Them. Keeping away from bad associations, yearningly remember Them and chant Their name and the leelas. That’s all you have to do and leave the rest upon Them. Just remember that They are yours and you belong to Them. They are most kind and causelessly merciful ; They will do the best for you.

ONLY HARI-GURU ARE YOURS

None of your worldly relatives will inspire you to move towards God. They all have their own selfish motives. It is only your Guru, who will show you the right path and guide you. He will make you realize that you are someone beyond this body. You are a soul, and you had innumerable mothers, fathers, sons and spouses, in your past endless lifetimes. You were born in all the 8.4 million species of life countless times and you surrendered to everyone for getting happiness. But all deceived you. How could have they given you happiness? They were all beggars themselves!
