WHAT IS EGO

                                                             EGO'S SEARCH

      ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE EMOTIONAL PAIN IS AN INTRINSIC PART OF THE EGOIC MIND IS A DEEP-SEATED SENSE OF LACK OR INCPMPLETENESS, OF NOT BEING WHOLE. IN SOME PEOPLE, THIS IS CONSCIOUS, IN OTHERS INCONSCIOUS. IF IT IS CONSCIOUS. IT MANIFESTS AS THE UNSETTLING AND CONSTANT FEELING OF NOT BEING WORTHY OR GOOD ENOUGH. IF IT IS UNCONSCIOUS, IT WILL ONLY BE FELT INDIRCTLY AS AS INTENSE CRAVING, WANTING AND NEEDING. IN EITHER CASE, PEOPLE WILL OFTEN ENTER INT A COMPULSIVE PURSUIT OF EGO-GRATICATION AND THINGS TO IDENTIFY WITH IN ORDER TO FILL  THIS HOLE THEY FEEL WITHIN. SO THEY STIVE AFTER POSSESIONS, MONEY, SUCCESS, POWER, REGOGNITION, OR A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP, BASICALLY SO THAT THEY FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES, FEEL MORE COMPLETE, BUT EVEN WHEN THEY ATTAIN ALL THESE THINGS, THEY SOON FIND THAT THE HOLES IS STILL THERE, THAT IT IS BOTTOMLESS. THEN THEY ARE REALLY IN TROUBLE, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DELUDE THEMSELVES ANYMORE. WELL, THEY CAN AND DO, BUT IT GETS MORE DIFFICULT.

     AS LONG AS THE EGOIC MIND IS RUNNING YOUR LIFE, YOU CANNOT TRULY BE AT EASE, YOU CANNOT BE AT PEACE OR FULFILLED EXCEPT FOR BRIEF INTERVALS WHEN YOU OBTAINED WHAT YOU WANTED, WHEN A CRAVING HAS JUST BEEN FULFILLED. SINCE THE EGO IS A DERIVED SENSE OF SELF, IT NEEDS TO IDENTIFY WITH EXTERENAL THINGS. IT NEEDS TO BE BOTH DEFENDED AND FED CONSTANSLY. THE MOST COMMON EGO IDENTIFICATION HAVE TO DO WITH POSSSESIONS, THE WORK YOU DO, SOCIAL STATUS AND RECOGNISATION, KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION, PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, SPECIAL ABILITIES, RELATIONSHIPS, PERSONAL AND FAMILY HISTORY, BELIEF SYSTEMS, AND OFTEN ALSO POLITICAL, NATIONALISTIC, RACIAL, RELIGIOUS, AND OTHER COLLECTIVE IDENFICATIONS. NONE OF THESE IS YOU.

       DO YOU FIND THIS FRIGHTENING? OR IS IT A RELIEF TO KNOW THIS? ALL OF THESE THINGS YOU WILL HAVE TO RELINQUISH SOONER OR LATER. PERHAPS YOU FIND IT AS YET HARD TO BELIEVE, AND I AM CERTAINLY NOT ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR IDENTIFY CANNOT BE FOUND IN ANY OF THOSE THINGS. YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH OF IT FOR YOURSELF. YOU WILL KNOW IT AT THE LATEST WHEN YOU FEEL DEATH APPROACHING. DEATH IS A STRIPPING AWAY OF ALL THAT IS NOT YOU. THE SECRET OF LIFE IS TO "DIE BEFORE YOU DIE"-AND FIND THAT THERE IS NO DEATH.

LIFE CHANGING POINTS

                                                     MORNING MELODIES....

    1. IF YOU WANT TO BE RELIGIOUS, ENTER NOT THE GATE OF ANY ORGANISED RELIGIONS. THEY DO A HUNDRED TIMES MORE EVIL THAN GOOD, BECAUSE THEY STOP THE GROWTH OF EACH ONE'S INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT.

   2. IT IS A VERY HARD THING TO UNDERSTAND, BUT YOU WILL COME TO LEARN IN TIME THAT NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE HAS POWER OVER YOU UNTIL YOU ALLOW IT TO EXERCISE SUCH A POWER.

   3. BELIEVE NOT BECAUSE SOME OLD MANUSCRIPTS ARE PRODUCED, BELIEVE NOT BECAUSE IT IS YOUR NATIONAL BELIEF, BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN MADE TO BELIEVE IT FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD, BUT REASON IT ALL OUT, AND AFTER YOU HAVE ANALYSED IT, THEN , IF YOU FIND THAT IT WILL DO GOOD TO ONE AND ALL, BELIEVE IT, LIVE UP TO IT, AND HELP OTHERS TO LIVE UP TO IT.

 4. HE DOES NOT NEED ANYTHING. HE DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING.

 5. TO THOSE WHO ARE FULL OF TARMAS, IGNORANT AND DULL- THOSE WHOSE MINDS NEVER GET FIXED ON ANY IDEA, WHO ONLY CRAVE FOR SOMETHING TO AMUSE THEM RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY ARE SIMPLY OBJECTS OF ENTERTAINMENT, THESE ARE THE UNPERSVERING. THEY HEAR A TALK, THINK IT VERY NICE AND THEN GO HOME AND FORGET ALL ABOUT IT. TO SUCCEED, YOU MUST HAVE TREMENDOUS PERSEVERANCE, TREMENDOUS WILL. I WILL DRINK THE OCEAN, SAYS THE PERSEVERING SOUL, AT MY WILL MOUNTAINS WILL CRUMBLE UP. HAVE THAT SORT OF ENERGY THAT SORT OF WILL, WORK HARD, AND YOU WILL REACH THE GOAL.

 6. THE HIGHEST MANIFESTATION OF STRENGTH IS TO KEEP OURSELVES CALM AND ON OUR OWN FEET.

 7. A PERFECT LIFE IS A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS. LIFE ITSELF IS A STATE OF CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE BETWEEN OURSELVES AND EVERYTHING OUTSIDE. EVERY MOMENT WE ARE FIGHTING ACTUALLY WITH ETERNAL NATURE, AND IF WE ARE DEFEATED, OUR LIFE HAS TO GO.

 8. IN ENJOYMENT IS THE FEAR OF DESEASE, IN HIGH BIRTH, THE FEAR OF LOSING CASTE, IN THE FEAR OF LOSING IT, IN STREGTH THE FEAR AGE IN KNOWLEDGE THE FEAROF DEFEAT, IN VIRTUE THE FEAR OF SCANDAL IN THE BODY THE FEAR OF DEATH. IN THIS LIFE ALL IS FRAUGHT WITH FEAR. REUNCIATION ALONE IS FEARLESS.

 9. LEAVE UPON IT DIFFERENT PICTURES, AND THE RESULT OF THESE COMBINED IMPRESSIONS IS WHAT IS CALLED MAN'S CHARACTER. IF YOU TAKE THE CHARACTER OF ANY MAN IT REALLY IS BUT THE AGGREGATE OF TENDENCIES, THE SUM- TOTAL OF THE BENT OF HIS MIND, YOU WILL FIND THAT MISERY AND HAPPINESS ARE EQUAL FACTORS IN THE FORMATION.

 10. ALL THIS BRINGING OF THE MIND INTO A HIGHER STATE OF VIBRATION IS INCLUDED IN ONE WORDS IN YOGA- SAMADHI.

 11. THE SELFLESS AND UNATTACHED MAN MAY LIVE IN THE VERY HEART OF A CROWDED AND SINFYL CITY, HE WILL NOT BE TOUCHED BY SIN.

 12. THE HINDUS BELIEVES THAT EVERY SOUL IS A CIRCLE WHOSE CIRCUMFERENCE IS NOWHERE, BUT WHOSE CENTRE IS LOCATED IN THE BODY, AND THAT DEATH MEANS THE CHANGE OF THIS CENTRE FROM BODY TO BODY.

 13. IT IS ONLY THE CONTEMPLATIVE, WITNESS LIKE STUDY OF OBJECTS THAT BRINGS TO US REAL ENJOYMENT AND HAPPINESS. THE ANIMAL HAS ITS HAPPINESS IN THE SENSES, THA MAN IN HIS INTELECT, AND THE GOD IN SPIRITUAL CONTEMPLATION. IT IS ONLY TO THE SOUL THAT HAS ATTAINED TO THIS CONTEMPLATIVE STATE THAT THE WORLD REALLY BECOMES BEAUTIFUL. TO HIM WHO DESIRES NOTHING, AND DOES NOT MIX HIMSELF UP WITH THEM, THE MANIFOLD CHANGES OF NATURE ARE ONE PANORAMA OF BEAUTY AND SUBLIMITY.

       14. THE YOGI TEACHES THAT THE MIND ITSELF HAS A HIGHER STATE OF EXISTENCE, BEYONG REASON, A SUPERCONSCIOUS STATE, AND WHEN THE MIND GETS TO THAT HIGHER STATE, THEN THIS KNOWLEDGE, BEYOND REASONING, COMES TO MAN. METAPHYSICAL AND TRANSCENDENTAL KNOWLEDGE COMES TO THAT MA.

      15. HOLD THE IDEAL A THOUSAND TIMES, AND IF YOU FAIL A THOUSAND TIMES, MAKE THE ATTEMPT ONCE MORE. THERE IS INFINITE LIFE BEFORE THE SOUL. TAKE YOUR TIME AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE YOUR END.

     16. MERCY SHALL NOT BE FOR MEN ALONE, BUT SHALL GO BEYOND, AND EMBRACE THE WHOLE WORLD.

     17. MOST OF OUR DIFFICULTIES IN OUR DAILY LIVES COME FROM BEING UNABLE TO HOLD OUR MINDS IN THIS WAY. FOR INSTANCE, IF A MAN DOES EVIL TO US, INSTANTLY WE WANT TO REACT EVIL, AND EVERY REACTION OF EVIL SHOWS THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO HOLD THE CHITTA DOWN, IT COMES OUT IN WAVES TOWARDS THE OBJECT AND WE LOSE OUR POWER.

     

 

MIND AND YOU

                                  FREEING YOURSELF FROM YOUR MIND

     WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN BY WATCHING THE THINKER?

    WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO THE DOCTOR AND SAYS, I HEAR VOICE IN MY HEAD, HE OR SHE WILL MOST LIKELY BE SENT TO A PSYCHIATRIST. THE FACT IS THAT, IN A VERY SIMILAR WAY, VIRTUALLY EVERONE HEARS A VOICE, OR SEVERAL VOICES, IN THEIR HEAD ALL THE TIME. THE INVOLUNTARY THOUGHT PROCESSES THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP. CONTINUOUS MONOLOGUES OR DIALOGUES.

       YOU HAVE PROBABLY COME ACROSS " MAD" PEOPLE IN THE STREET INCESANTLY TALKING OR MUTTERING TO THEMSELVES. WELL THAT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU AND ALL OTHER "NORMAL" PEOPLE DO, EXCEPT YOU DON'T DO IT OUT LOUD. THE VOICE COMMENTS, SPECULATES, JUDGES, COMPARES, COMPLAINS, LIKES, DISLIKES, AND SO ON. THE VOICE ISN'T NECESSARILY RELEVANT TO THE SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF IN AT THE TIME, IT MAY BE REVIVING THE RECENT OR DISTANT PASTOR REHEARSING OR IMAGINING POSSIBLE FUTURE SITUATIONS. HERE IT OFTEN IMAGINES THINGS GOING WRONG AND NEGATIVE OUTCOMES. THIS IS CALLED WORRY. SOMETINES THIS SOUNDTRACK IS ACCOMPANIED BY VISUAL IMAGES OR "MENTAL MOVIES"

CONSCIOUS DEATH

                                                   MEANING OF DEATH

   

    APART FROM DREAMLESS SLEEP, WHICH I MENTIONED ALREADY, THERE IS ONE OTHER INVOLUNTARY PORTAL. IT OPENS UP BRIEFLY AT THE TIME OF PHYSICAL DEATH. EVEN IF YOU HAVE MISSED ALL THE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL REALIZATION DURING YOUR LIFETIME, ONE LAST PORTAL WILL OPEN UP FOR YOU IMMEDIATLY AFTER THE BODY HAS DIED.

     THERE ARE COUNTLESS ACCOUNTS BY PEOPLE WHO HAD A VISUAL IMPRESION OF THIS PORTAL AS RADIANT LIGHT AND THEN RETURNED FROM WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE. MANY OF THEM ALSO SPOKE OF A SENSE OF BLISSFUL SERENITY AND DEEP PEACE. IN THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD, IT IS DESCRIBE AS " THE LUMINOUS SPLENDOR OF THE COLORLESS LIGHT OF EMPTINESS". WHICH IT SAYS IT " YOUR OWN TRUE SELF". THIS PORTAL OPENS UP ONLY VERY BRIEFLY, AND UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY ENCOURATERED THE DIMENSION OF THE UNMANIFESTED IN YOUR LIFETIME, YOU WILL LIKELY MISS IT. MOST PEOPLE CARRY TOO MUCH RESIDUAL RESISTANCE, TOO MUCH FEAR, TOO MUCH ATTACHMENT TO SENSORY EXPERIENCE, TOO MUCH FEAR, TOO MUCH ATTACHMENT TO SENSORY EXPERIENCE, TOO MUCH IDENTIFICATION WITH THE MANIFESTED WORLD. SO THEY SEE THE PORTAL, TURN AWAY IN FEAR, AND THEN LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. MOST OF WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT IS INVOLUNTARY AND AUTOMATIC. EVENTUALLY, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ROUND OF BIRTH AND DEATH. THEIR PRESENCE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH YET FOR CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY.

MOTIVATIONAL POINTS

                                                    GOOD THOUGHTS

   

    1. THE WHOLE LIFE IS A SUCCESSION OF DREAMS, MY AMBITION IS TO BE A CONSCIOUS DREAMER, THATS ALL.

    2. WE ARE ALLOWED TO WORKSHIP HIM. STAND IN THAT REVERENT ATTITUDE TO THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, AND THEN WILL COME PERFECT NON ATTACHMENT.

   3. YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE IN GOD UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

   4. GIVE UP THE IDEA THAT BY RULING OVER OTHERS YOU CAN DO ANY GOOD TO THEM. BUT YOU CAN DO JUST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN IN THE CASE OF THE PLANT. YOU CAN SUPPLY THE GROWING SEED WITH THE MATERIALS FOR THE MAKING UP OF ITS BODY, BRINGING TO IT THE EARTH, THE WATER, THE AIR, THAT IT WANTS. IT WILL TAKE ALL THAT IT WANTS BY ITS OWN NATURE, IT WILL ASSIMILATE AND GROW BY ITS OWN NATURE.

  5. SHRI RAMAKRISHNA USE TO SAY, "AS LONG AS I LIVE, SO LONG DO I LEARN, THAT MAN OR THAT SOCIETY WHICH HAS NOTHING TO LEARN IS ALREADY IN THE JAWS OF DEATH".

  6. BE STRONG! YOU TALK OF GHOSTS AND DEVILS. WE ARE THE LIVING DEVILS. THE SIGN OF LIFE IS STRENGTH AND GROWTH. THE SIGN OF DEATH IS WEAKNESS. WHATEVER IS WEAK, AVOID! IT IS DEATH. IF IT IS STRENGTH, GO DOWN INTO HELL AND GET HOLD OF IT! THERE IS SALVATION ONLY FOR THE BRAVE. NONE BUT THE BRAVE DESERVES THE FAIR." NONE BUT THE BRAVEST DESERVES SALVATION.

 7. WHERE CAN WE GO TO FIND GOD IF WE CANNOT SEE HIM IN OUR OWN HEARTS AND IN EVERY LIVING BEING.

 8. THERE IS NO LIMITS TO THE POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND. THE MORE CONCENTRATED IT IS THE MORE POWER IS BROUGHT TO BEAR ON ONE POINT.

 9. THE CHEERFUL MIND PERSEVERES AND THE STRONG MIND HEWS ITS WAY THROUGH A THOUSAN DIFFICULTIES.

 10. YOU MUST WORKSHIP THE SELF IN KRISHNA NOT KRISHNA  AS KRISHNA.

  11. ALL KNOWLEDGE THAT THE WORLD HAS EVER RECEIVED COMES FROM THE MIND, THE INFINITE LIBERARY OF THE UNIVERSE IS IN OUR OWN MIND.

  12. GIVE A MENTAL ASSENT TO THE CUSTOMS OF THEIR FOREFATHERS.

  13. OH IF ONLY YOU KNEW YOURSELVES! YOU ARE SOULS, YOU ARE GODS. IF EVER I FEEL LIKE BLASPHEMING IT, IS WHEN I CALL YOU MAN.

  14. IF YOU CANNOT ATTAIN SALVATION IN THIS LIFE, WHAT PROOF IS THERE THAT YOU CAN ATTAIN IT IN THE LIFE OR LIVES TO COME?

  15. VIRTUE IS THE ONLY FRIEND WHICH FOLLOWS US EVEN BEYOND THE GRAVE. EVERYTHING ELSE ENDS WITH DEATH.

  16. AS SOON AS I BEGIN TO FEEL THAT I AM SEPARATE FROM THIS UNIVERSE, THEN FIRST COMES FEAR, AND THEN COMES MISERY.

  17. YOGA IS THE SCIENCE WHICH TEACHES US HOW TO GET THESE PERCEPTIONS (DIRECT EXPERIENCES OF GOD)

  18. FOR IT IS THE BODY THAT DRAGS US DOWN. IT IS ATTACHMENT, IDENTIFICATION, WHICH MAKES US MISERABLE. THAT IS THE SECRET. TO THINK THAT I AM THE SPIRIT AND NOT THE BODY, AND THAT THE WHOLE OF THIS UNIVERSE WITH ALL ITS RELATIONS, WITH ALL ITS GOOD AND ALL ITS EVIL, IS BUT A SERIES OF PAINTINGS - SCENES ON A CANVAS- OF WHICH I AM THE WITNESS.

  19. BE CONTENTED WITH THE THINGS OF THE PRESENT. THE COWS AND THE GODS ARE, AND SO ARE ALL ANIMALS, AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES THEM ANIMALS. SO IF MAN RESTS CONTENT WITH THE PRESENT AND GIVES UP ALL SEARCH INTO THE BEYOND, MANKING WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ANIMALS PLANE AGAIN.

  20. OUR KARMA DETERMINES WHAT WE DESERVE AND WE CAN ASSIMILATE. 

THE END OF YOUR DRAMA

                                                               YOUR  DRAMA

  

       IN THAT STATE OF ACCEPTANCE AND INNER PEACE, THOUGH YOU MAY NOT CALL IT BAD, CAN ANYTHING STILL COME INTO YOUR LIFE THAT WOULD BE CALLED " BAD " FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF ORDINARY CONCIOUSNESS?

    MOST OF THE SO-CALLED BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE DUE TO UNCONCIOUSNESS. THEY ARE SELF-CREATED, OR RATHER EGO-CREATED. I SOMETIMES REFER TO THOSE THINGS AS "DRAMA". WHEN YOU ARE FULLY CONSIOUS, DRAMA DOES NOT COME INTO YOUR LIFE ANYMORE. LET ME REMIND YOU BRIEFLY HOW THE EGO OPERATES AND HOW IT CREATES DRAMA. 

    EGO IS THE UNOBSERVED MIND THAT RUNS YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU ARE NOT PRESENT AS THE WITNESSING CONSCIOUSNESS, THE WATCHER. THE EGO PERCEIVES ITSELF AS A SEPARATE FRAGMENT IN A HOSTILE UNIVERSE, WITH NO REAL INNER CONNECTION TO ANY OTHER BEING, SURROUNDED BY OTHER EGOS WHICH IT EITHER SEES AS A POTENTIAL THREAT OR WHICH IT WILL ATTEMPT TO USE FOR ITS OWN ENDS. THE BASIC EGO PATTERNS ARE DEGIGNED TO COMBAT ITS OWNDEEPSEATED FEAR SENSE OF LACK. THEY ARE RESISTENCE, CONTROL, POWER, GREED, DEFENSE, ATTACK. SOME OF THE EGO'S STRAEGIES ARE EXTREMLY CLEVER, YET THEY NEVER TRULY SOLVE OF ITS PROBLEMS, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE EGO ITSELF IS THE PROBLEM.

       WHEN EGOS COMES TOGETHER, WHETHER IN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS OF ICREN ORGANIZATIONS OF INSTITUTIONS, "BAD" THINGS HAPPEN SOONER OF LATER, DRAMA OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER, IN THE FORM OF CONFLICT, PROBLEMS, POWER, STRUGGLES, EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, AND SO ON. THIS INCLUDED COLLECTIVE EVILS SUCH AS WAR, GENOCIDE, AND EXPLOTATION-ALL DUE TO MASSED UNCONSIOUS RESISTENCE, WHICH CREATES RESTRICTIONS AND BLOCKAGES IN THE FLOW OF ENERGY THROUGH THE BODY. WHEN YOU RECONNECT WITH BEING AND ARE NO LONGER RUN BY YOUR MIND, YOU CEASE TO CREATE THOSE THINGS. YOU DO NOT CREATE OR PARTICIPATE IN DRAMA ANYMORE.

       WHEN YOU LIVE IN COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT IS, THAT IS THE END OF ALL DRAMA IN YOUR LIFE. NOBODY CAN EVEN HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH YOU. NO MATTER HOW HARD HE OR SHE TRIES. YOU CANNOT HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH A FULLY CONSCIOUS PERSON. AN ARGUMENT IMPLIES IDENTIFICATION WITH YOUR MIND AND A MENTAL POSITION, AS WELL AS RESISTENCE AND REACTION TO OTHER PERSON'S POSITION. THE RESULT IS THAT THE POLAR OPPOSITE BECOME MUTUALLY ENERGIZED. THESE ARE THE MACHANICS OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS. YOU CAN STILL MAKE YOUR POIN CLEARLY AND FIRMLY, BUT THERE WILL BE NO REATIVE FORCE BEHIND IT, NO DEFENSE OR ATTACK. SO IT WON'T TURN INTO DRAMA. WHEN YOU ARE FULLY CONSCIOUS, YOU CEASE TO BE IN CONFLICT. NO ONE WHO IS AT ONE WITH HIMSELF CAN EVEN CONCEIVE TO CONFLICT, STATE A COURSE IN MIRACLES. THIS REFERS NOT ONLY TO CONFLICT WITH OTHER PEOPLE BUT MORE FUNDAMENTALLY TO CONFLICT WITHIN YOU, WHICH CEASE WHEN THERE IS NO LONGER ANY CLASH BETWEEN THE DEMANDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF YOUR MIND AND WHAT IS.

 

THE POINTS TO BECOME WINNER

                                                   SUCCESS OF THE LIFE

    1. WHERE NONE SEES ANOTHER, WHERE IT IS ALL ONE, THERE IS NONE TO BE MESERABLE, NONE TO BE UNHAPPY.

   2. KNOWING THAT MOTHER AND FATHER ARE THE VISIBLE REPRESENTATIVES OF GOD, THE HOUSEHOLDER, ALWAYS AND BY ALL MEANS, MUST PEOPLE THEM. IF THE MOTHER IS PLEASED, AND THE FATHER, GOD IS PLEASED WITH THE MAN. THAT CHILD IS REALLY A GOOD CHILD WHO NEVER SPEAKS HARSH WORDS TO HIS PARENTS.

  3. THE ONLY WAY TO RISE BY DOING THE DUTY NEXT TO US, AND THUS GATHERING STRENGTH TO ON UNTIL WE REACH THE HIGHEST STATE.

 4. THOUGH THIS BODY HAS ITS BEGINNING AND END, THE DWELLER IN THE BODY IS INFINITE AND WITHOUT END.

 5. EVEN IF YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE, DO NOT DISTURB THE CHILDLIKE FAITH OF THE IGNORANT. ON THE OTHER HAND, GO DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND GRADUALLY BRING THEM UP. THAT IS A VERY POWERFUL IDEA, AND IT HAS BECOME THE IDEAL IN INDIA. THIS IS WHY YOU CAN SEE GREAT PHILOSOPHER GOING INTO A TEMPLE AND WORSHIPPING IMAGES. IT IS NOT HYPOCRISY.

 6. THEN THE GODS BECOME NO GODS, DEATH BECOMES NO DEATH, LIFE BECOMES NO LIFE.

 7. WHO CAN WORK WITHOUT ANY ATTACHMENT? THIS IS REAL QUESTION.

 8. SUCH A MAN IS THE SAME WHETHER HIS WORK SUCCEEDS OF FAILS.

 9. WORK FOR WORK'S SAKE. WORSHIP FOR WORSHIP'S SAKE. DO GOOD BECAUSE IT IS GOOD TO DO GOOD. ASK NO MORE.

 10. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IN GOD UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

 11. STRENGTH IS LIFE, WEAKNESS IS DEATH.

 12. NEITHER SEEK NOR AVOID, TAKE WHAT COMES.

 13. ALL WEAKNESS, ALL BONDAGE IS IMAGINATION.

 14. KNOWING THIS, STAND UP AND FIGHT.

 15. NOR FREEDO,. NOR GODS, NOR WORK, NOR ANYTHING.

 16. THIS IS THE SAGE WHO ALWAYS WORKS FOR WORK'S SAKE WITHOUT CARING FOR THE RESULTS.

 17. THE POWERS OF THE MIND ARE LIKE RAYS OF LIGHT DISSIPATED , WHEN THEY ARE CONCENTRATED, THEY ILLUMINE.

 18. HE WHO KNOWS THAT HE IS FREE IS FREE, HE WHO KNOWS THAT HE IS BOUND IS BOUND. WHAT IS THE END AND AIM OF LIFE? NONE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I AM THE INFINITE.

 19. WHEN BY ANALYZING HIS OWN MIND, MAN COMES FACE TO FACE, AS IT WERE, WITH SOMETHING WHICH IS, BY ITS OWN NATURE, ETERNALLY PURE AND PERFECT, HE WILL NO MORE BE MISERABLE, NO MORE UNHAPPY.

 20. STAND UP, BE BOLD, BE STRONG! KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR OWN DESTINY. ALL THE STRENGTH AND SUCCOUR YOU WANT IS WITHIN YOURSELF.

 21. THE ROSE CALLED BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET.

 22. REALISATION IS REAL RELIGION, ALL THE REST IS ONLY PREPARATION-HEARING LECTURES, OR READING BOOKS, OR REASONING IS MERELY PREPARING THE GROUND, IT IS NOT RELIGION.

 23. THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE OURSELVES HAPPY IS TO SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAPPY.

 24. WE ARE NOT THE VEDANTISTS, PAURANICS, OR TANTRICS. WE ARE THE DON'T TOUCHISTS OUR RELIGION IS DON'T TOUCH ME, I AM HOLY.

 25. TAKE UP ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE OR FEEL, A BOOK FOR INSTANCE, FIRST CONCENTRATE THE MIND ON IT, THEN ON THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IS IN THE FORM OF A BOOK, AND THEN ON THE EGO THAT SEES THE BOOK, AND SO ON. BY THAT PRACTICE ALL THE ORGANS WILL BE CONQUERED.
