mandatory (to get good vibration) before the session

with our bhajan guru Bro Ravi Shankar. The outcome was

Attn: Sis. Renuka. Patra

 

We end 41st posting here with this Swami’s beautiful

note—

 

Never hate anyone, because the principle of Love is

immanent in all. Divine energy is present too. Never

criticize or malign anyone. Love all. When you love

all, that itself is divine consciousness which

transforms into a divine power. Therefore never give

scope to bad thoughts, and with pure conviction

declare that you are the Cosmic Divine present in all.

Many people take recourse to many spiritual practices

without understanding their own innate divinity. They

take to many spiritual paths.
