Presently, nobody chants the name of God sincerely. Many argue at the slightest mention of God. They think they are superior enough for that. The Divine can be known only by those who study the scriptures sincerely and lovingly. Simply because you have a tongue and it can wag, do not cast aspersions against the Lord or His Divine Name. There is the story of a king, the minister and the servant going in a boat. The servant panicked at the sight of water all round; in fact his panic tantrums were about to upset the boat itself. So the minister caught hold of him, pushed him into the water, dipped him a number of times and then when he cried, “The boat, the boat,” he was hoisted back. Once in the boat he knew he was safe from the stormy waters. Do not wait to suffer the ordeals of worldly life to realise the security and safety of faith in God.

- Divine Discourse Feb 19, 1966.

Have the name and form of God as your Companion, Guide and Guardian
throughout the toils of your working hours. - Baba

Today everyone is eager to read or listen to the news that comes to them from all corners of the world. They think that it is their mission to know everything that is happening, but does anyone make an attempt to hear what is coming from within them? An individual who cannot understand and recognise their own nature has not achieved anything. All that you learn by way of education is apparently only for eking out a living. This undesirable quality has become an illusion of our mind. The basis for this desire is your attachment and hatred. This attachment and hatred are commonly found in one who thinks that they are different from the environment around them. So long as one thinks that a particular car or house belongs to them, then there will be attachment to whatever they think belongs to them, and a dislike of things which they think does not belong to them.

- Summer Roses on Blue Mountains, 1976, Ch 8.

The easiest and most fruitful method of keeping yourself free from dust
and rust is good company (Satsang). - Baba

Even if one does not attempt to seek God, one can at least seek peace, joy, happiness and independence (shanti, santosha,soukhyam and swatantra)? People nowadays do not seek these, nor do they try to learn how to get them! The top spins perpetually and has no rest; people too pine and labor forever and ever, and have no relief from the spinning. The only peace and joy they get now are momentary; here now, gone the next minute. Pain puts a stop to joy; joy is but the absence of pain. Why must one live for years as a burden on earth, consuming so much of rice or wheat year after year, with no return in joy or peace to himself or others? The petromax light will shine bright only when you pump air vigorously; your light too is dim and well nigh out; pump vigorously, that is to say, engage yourself in spiritual practice and illumine your mind better and spread light on all who come near you.

- Divine Discourse Feb 19, 1966.

All spiritual practices must be directed to the removal of the husk
and the revelation of the kernel. - Baba

When a ray of light falls on several pieces of glass, the light is scattered in many different directions. Some people may think that this light came from several sources. That is incorrect. The single source of light fell on a large number of coloured glasses, and hence appeared as if it is composed of different colours. If the same light falls on the ground, we would not be able to see the light, because the ground obstructs and absorbs the light. In the same manner, if the brilliant shining grace from the Lord falls on a sattwic (pure) person, he/she will shine brilliantly. If the same grace from the Lord, falls on a person with rajasic(aggressive) qualities, it will make him/her develop several desires of the world. If the same grace falls on a person withtamasic (dull) qualities, it will not only go through without having any effect, but also might lose some of its lustre.

- Summer Roses on Blue Mountains, 1976, Ch 8.

Water flows from a higher level to the lower levels. God’s grace too is like that. It flows down to those who are bent with humility. - Baba

People do not believe in God, but believe newspapers and all that is published therein. They believe in things they have not seen and consider what their ears hear to be true. A blind person is in darkness and when he denies there is light, do we need to attach any value to his denial? No! On the contrary, you see a plane zooming in the sky; someone tells you that it is flown by a pilot, but you refuse to believe because you do not see him from where you are. Is this appropriate? Isn’t it reasonable to guess that a flying plane must have a pilot? If you want to verify, you must get to the plane and see the pilot! It would be unwise to deny his existence standing on the ground. So too seeing the Universe, you must firmly believe in the existence of God, and not deny His presence because you have not been able to see Him.

- Divine Discourse Feb 19, 1966.

Look upon the body as a moving temple, wherein God resides. Recognise that

A young mother puts her baby to sleep and when the little one is asleep, she attends to other household works. But all the while her attention is on the baby, and her thoughts are always about when the baby would wake up. Even if she is engaged in an urgent and pressing work, her attention is on the baby, and as soon as she hears the cry, she comes running. She does not wait to analyse in what tune (raga) and tempo (tala) the baby is crying. Just as the mother comes running as soon as she hears the baby’s cry, so also, when a person cries to the Lord from the depths of their heart, the Lord responds instantly and helps every devotee. God does not ask what path this devotee is adopting or what bhajans are being sung to call Him, etc. But He looks for the sincerity with which the devotee has cried out.

- Summer Roses on Blue Mountains, 1976, Ch 7.

Prayer alone makes life happy, harmonious and worth living in this universe. - Baba
