Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 OM AMRITESWARAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - General Thoughts on Spirituality Accumulate spiritual wealth Just as we save money in a bank for life's material needs, we should accumulate eternal wealth while we are physically and mentally fit. This we can do by chanting God's name and performing righteous actions. We may do a hundred things right, but for one wrong act people disown us. Yet even after a hundred wrongs, God accepts us for one right action. Therefore, children, be bound only to God. Dedicate all to Him. Once children are grown up, married and able to be independent, parents should lead their lives thinking of God and engaged in devout activities. When possible, the parents may spend the rest of their lives in an ashram. If we continue to worry about our children, neither we nor the children benefit. One the other hand, if we spend our days remembering God and chanting His name, then our families up to seven succeeding generations will benefit from it. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
