Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Start that pure life of a Yogi the very day on which you read these lines: no leniency for the mind. Self-reliance is an indispensable requisite. You can get suggestions from outside. But you will have to tread the path yourself, to place each step yourself in the spiritual ladder. That house is a miserable place, veritable hell on earth wherein the husband moves up in spirituality and the wife pulls him down in sensual grooves and vice versa. They should be harmoniously blended or joined by the thread of the knowledge of the Self, each aspiring eagerly for attaining God-consciousness. That house is really a Vaikuntha where the husband and wife lead an ideal divine life, singing Hari's Name, repeating His Mantras, studying Ramayana and Bhagavata, controlling the Indriyas and serving Bhaktas and Sannyasins. ------ God is an unknown entity.God is an unseen entity.We have not seen God.We've only heard about Him.We can only imagine Him.But, if we are able to see in a human individual, manifestations of holiness, of sanctity,something out of the ordinary, something extraordinary, something special,we begin to realise: " Yes, God I have not seen,but godliness I have seen. " Such a being becomes for us visible God.God reveals Himself through the Guru. ------ Swamy Chidananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
