Thought of the Week


tibethan-prayer.jpgTrue sadhana (spiritual practice) consists in the technique of merging the vaak (speech) in the mind, the mind in the intellect, and finally the intellect in the Atma( The real self, the God within). The Atma is the father to the duddhi (intellect), grandfather to the mind, and great-grandfather to speech (vaak), Forgetting this sacred and royal road available to man, it is sad that he chooses to indulge in sensual pleasures that ultimately drown him in deep sorrow.

Thought of the Week

PrayerIt is not the nature of an aspirant to search for faults in others and hide his own. If your faults are pointed out by anyone, do not try to argue and prove that you are right. Do not bear a grudge against that person for it. Instead, reason out within yourself how you are at fault, and set right your own behavior.

Thought of the Week


PrayerAll religions have taught what is good, and everyone should lead a righteous life based on this knowledge. If the minds are pure, how can any religion be bad? All the religions are different paths leading to one and the same destination. All devotees should experience this truth and live up to it in their daily lives. They should lead righteous lives and thereby experience enduring bliss. Only then will their spiritual effort be fruitful. Listen to the words of the wise, purify your thoughts and concentrate your mind on God. God can be installed only in a pure heart. The aim of all Sadhana (spiritual practices) should be to purify the heart.

Thought of the Week


Georgie AyalaAll are children of God. He is the sole Lord of mankind. People may seem to differ in their names and forms and in their beliefs and practices. But the source is the One alone. Recognition of this basic truth of oneness is Brahmajnana (Knowledge of the Absolute). This knowledge cannot be gained by merely studying the scriptures and holding metaphysical discussions. What has to be recognized is the truth that every being in the universe is an embodiment of the Supreme. Awareness of the unity that subsumes the diversity is the highest knowledge.
