The importance of being practical for a householder

who is pursuing his or her spiritual practice. It is

very important for a householder to live such a life

that those dependent on him or her do not go though

any inconvenience or hardship. Even five or ten

minutes spent by a householder in remembrance of God

during the course of the day is more praiseworthy than

twenty four hours spent by renunciates.

 

Without energetic endeavor and self confidence, man

achieves neither material nor spiritual advancement.

Education is essential for material progress and

initiation for spiritual enlightenment. With

unshakable faith and its background of experience even

the most rigorous spiritual discipline is rendered

easy.

 

If you want to live a meaningful life, take to

simplicity. Subdue dishonorable thoughts and acts.

Adopt simplicity and plain living as your philosophy

of life. Love and fellowship are at the root of life.

They constantly keep growing up the ladder of plain

living. One who relentlessly pursues spiritual growth

receives rare inspiration and attains the true

knowledge of a realized divine soul.

 

Practical life alone is a happy life. The life of one

who is impractical is like a drum which emanates sound

only when beaten

 

There are four fundamental truths about life. It is

not necessary that you remember all four. Remembering

just two will lead you toward a blissful life: forget

the good deeds that you have done for others, and

forget the harm others have done you. The two other

fundamental truths are to always remember God and

death.

 

The married males of our Samooh,(society), Sri

Sarveshwari Samooh, are worshippers of Creative Energy

(Shakti). This, by extension, makes all males

worshippers of Creative Energy. A man becomes whole

only by contact with Feminine Creative Energy. It is

only by contact with this Creative Energy that men

derive the talents of intellect, strength, patience,

competence, charity and compassion. The sorrow that

often seems evident in this contact between male and

female, is a weakness due to the male's attachment to

illusion.

 

If you are married, observe the principle of one

spouse and a disciplined life. Then you will not have

untoward desires and you will begin to understand the

Mother-Principle. Your heart will become simple and

attuned to the Mother-Principle. Whatever you

undertake then, you will succeed at.

 

The more you say something gently and softly to your

children or your spouse, or your brother, or your

friends, the faster they will be able to understand

it. But if you just start yelling at them, then

neither will they understand it, nor will you succeed

in making them understand it.

 

Man is not the slave of circumstances; circumstances

are the slaves of men. They test one’s abilities. The

able man fights through the circumstance and marches

ahead. He who chooses defeat and retreats has no

substance. His life no longer has meaning.
