Thought for the Day

Only after the feelings of 'I' and 'mine' are uprooted, one becomes a devotee. The heart of such a devotee will be filled with compassion and the urge to do good to the world. It is the supreme bliss they attain thereby which impels them to act in this way. They crave for nothing else but being one with their sweet Lord. With this single goal in mind, regardless of joy and sorrow, without any concern about their own satisfaction, they engage themselves in spiritual practices steadfastly, incessantly and with conviction, and after understanding the Reality, they attain full contentment.

Thought for the Day

The taste of the vast ocean is to be found complete and undiminished in every single drop of its water. But this does not mean that the drop and the ocean are the same.

Similarly the All-pervasive inner motivator of all (Sarvantharyaami) and the Name and Form you adore are not separate entities. They are identical. All the gross Forms of Divine are fully saturated with the subtle. Without understanding this truth, it is impossible to realize your Loving Lord.
