GOD

God is the only friend of yours both in calamity and adversity.

The Lord knows what you want and is pleased only with your sincere devotion.

No outward show is needed to please God.

God is within each one of us though it may not be possible for us to see Him. The eyelids protect our eyes and yet we cannot see them without the aid of a mirror. Similarly God is there but we may not be able to see Him without the help of the Sadguru.

The basic ingredient of all religions and faiths is one and the same. It is experiencing the existence of God through the realisation of the Divinity of Man.

All agonies can easily be averted if only man feels that God is the responsible spirit behind all progress.

The whole Universe is within the animation of Brahman. The whole earth is pervaded by the essence of Brahman.

The love of relatives and friends is only momentary. The love of God is perpetual.

While everything in this world is transitory the soul (Atman) in Man is alone permanent. Atman is but the spark of Paramatman, the Lord God. Man's efforts should be to make the Atman merge into the Paramatman. That is the highest concept of Advaita.

The whole Universe is the external symbol of God and behind that stands His grand name. The nectar of the Lord's name (Nama Sankeerthan) is, greater than the Lord Himself.

God is omnipresent. There is no place where He is not present. He is self effulgent. An honest and sincere attempt to apprehend His source of eternal effulgence is by itself self elevating and rewarding.

When the devotee takes one stride towards the Lord, He takes ten toward sthe devotee. Such is His Grace as experienced by Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.

The inner light is shining constantly. It reveals itself through the mirror called the mind. The defects in the mind blur the light within. But actually that light remains ever unaffected by the modifications of the mind. Man should ignore the limitations of the mind and should get fixed in the inner light. The inner light is God. Seek Him should be tha aim of man.

All men commonly see the external lights such as the sun, the moon, the star, and the fire. But there is a higher light too.

Happiness derived from the things external is actually the bliss of the Self, apparently imposed on them. The tongue transfers the self-bliss on the delicacies. The eye imposes the beauty of the self from outside, whatever happiness derived from the sense objects is indeed in the self.

Among all living beings it is only man who is blessed with the inner light. The physical eye cannot see it. The light within cognizes itself, it cognizes the things outside.
