The real pilgrimage

Individual reconstruction is the most important need today. Multiply virtues, not buildings. Practise what you preach, that is the real pilgrimage. 

-- Bhagawan Baba

Why we should remember God always

Why should one pray, meditate, contemplate on God or engage in good actions when one is anyway bound to face the consequences of one’s actions? 

You may not be able to see the transformation that comes within you by your good actions and prayer. You may not even be able to visualise it with your mind. 

Yet, this transformation in you is sure to attract God’s grace. The benefits derived from prayer or good actions may not be visible to the naked eye. 

Yet the benefits do accrue in the form of God’s grace.

-- Bhagawan Baba

How to stay cool!

An air conditioner may cool your body. But only the grace of God can cool the heated brain and troubled heart. - Baba

Despair is a sin against God

Do not give any chance for that vile thing, despair, to eat into the vitals of activity and effort. Despair is a sin against God; when He is in you, why do you lose hope? That is why the Lord says when I am here, why do you fear? Be always joyful, optimistic and courageous.

-- Bhagawan Baba, in a discourse on 9th Sep, 1959

Sure-shot way to be free from disease

The very joy derived from service reacts on the body and makes you free from disease. The body and the mind are closely interrelated.

My Valentine Day's mesg from God

As I looked through my mails, I realized that this one had come in on V-Day, from my Neale Walsch subscriptions. Made me smile and feel extremely cared for and loved.

On this day of your life, Aarthi, I believe God wants you to know...

...that you are deeply loved by God.

Do you know that? I mean, do you really know that?

Because if you do, you will move through life without fear. 

You will know that only Perfection can occur.

Yes, yes, I know, sometimes the things that occur don't

look perfect...but that is only a matter of perspective.

Because you can't see Perfection does not mean it is not there. 

Give it Time. It will show itself for sure. 

Then you will again smile at God's love...and how it plays out.

For now, trust that it will. Always. And in all ways. 

I would not tell you this were it not true.

God will deal with you as you deserve

God knows and God will deal with you as you deserve. Have the faith. Repent for all wrongs done and resolve not to repeat the mistake; then God will extend His grace.

-- Bhagawan Baba, in a discourse given on 25th Nov, 1964
