Thoughts for the Day

God(self)-realization is possible only through control of senses and mind and by developing faith in the God within.


One need not search for spiritual power, going around the world and spending a lot of money. You can stay in your own house and develop it within yourself. You do not have to run for it hither and thither. You are not a mere man, but God Himself. Do not be under the delusion that God is residing somewhere and that you have to search for Him; God is within you.


Self-confidence is the key to God (self)-realization. Develop self-confidence. Then you can achieve anything in life.

There was a galaxy of scientists who made great inventions, but they failed to control their body and mind. Why should people pursue such scientific knowledge that would spoil their brains? Instead, one should develop one's brain, cultivate a positive outlook, and engage oneself in service to the country and society. The education you pursue must contribute to the welfare of the society. Then only can you earn name and fame and develop morality and integrity.

Develop morality. It is only then that you can realise Truth. Strive to uphold truth. Truth is the father and mother to the world. When truth and righteousness join together, peace is born. From peace, comes love. Where there is love, there is no scope for hatred. There will be no place at all for evil qualities like anger and jealousy.

It is only because people lost the noble quality of love that even brothers and sisters hate one another these days. Hence, first and foremost, develop love. There is nothing in this world that you cannot achieve by love. Love is God, live in love. Love is your life. Even an ant cannot live without love. It makes friendship with other ants while moving about. The insects too love one another.

Only the human being has lost this noble quality of love today. No doubt, a person has love inherently but is showering it on wealth and on certain individuals only. There is no use in developing such individualized love. One has to develop love for society as a whole. It is only when there is society that an individual can exist. One can live as a member of society. By living in society, one can contribute to its welfare. No other method would work.

It is said immortality is not attained through action, progeny, or wealth; it is attained only by sacrifice.
