Quotable Quotes & Wise Sayings
Devotional
Mysticism is an important part of all world religions. Without this,
God would be only a philosophical concept for intellectual discussions. God is
love and the devotee wants to feel the love of God and His mystic embrace. God
is beautiful and the devotees want to adore Him, worship Him, praise Him and
offer all that is best in him to God. God is Merciful and appears to His
devotees in the form of Avtars and Saints to show His compassion. God comes in
these forms to sustain the world, to destroy evil and to uphold righteousness.
Saints are salt of the
Earth. It is by the prayer of a whole society that a saint is sent to this world
to show mankind the path of Mukti (Liberation). Usually he will take birth in a
poor family and leads very simple life. Through the examples of His life, He
shows how Divine precepts can be adopted in daily life. The conversations,
discourses and songs and literature which He leaves for posterity become
invaluable treasure.
Blessed is the land and
the parents that give birth to Saints. Time and again God sends His messengers
to flood the world with devotion, dispassion and compassion. They are the source
of Divine life and it is they who sustain the world.
Saints hallow this world.
Whenever man forgets the ultimate purpose of life, saints appear and with the
singing tide of their devotion redirect the course of humanity.
"I speak (in praise
of) the Guru, who is Brahman Himself; I sing (the glories of) the Guru, who is
Brahman Himself; I meditate on the Guru, who is Brahman Himself; I salute the
Guru, who is Brahman Himself."
"Nothing is beyond
the Guru; No one is above the Guru! Nothing surpasses the Guru; None is greater
than the Guru! That is my commandment; I say authoritatively! I say so
authoritatively; that is indeed my commandment."
Saints are beyond cast,
creed, color and country. They belong to God and their approach is Universal.
Their lives are examples for all of us in leading a Divine life of Universal
love and service to God through humanity.
Guru Geeta:
In the Guru Geeta Lord Shiva
beautifully elaborates the sublime role of the Guru in answer to the queries of
the Divine paarvati.
The Guru Geeta deals with
the sublime aspect of the Guru, who imparts the high special knowledge to the
Shishya (disciple). Without the Guru's grace no progress in the Spiritual field
is possible.
The Guru Geeta lays down
how the Shishya (disciple) should look upon his Guru and act towards Him.
The Guru Geeta is an
ancient Shashtra, which, among other things, mentions the qualities and
greatness of a true Guru. In this Shashtra it is also mentioned that a regular
recitation of it earns the disciple great merit and his Guru's abundant grace
that lead him to the final beatitude.
Two Voices But One Truth
LALLESHWARI
Spiritual Intuition
revealed to me the one and the only one course of Self-education,
To adjure the ephemeral
mundane and to ruminate over the perennial Sublime within.
This very self-striuen truth
turned out to be a happy coincidence with 'Lalla'
Goading her on to dance in
ecstacy of self-discipline, unmindful of The stark obsessions of Social norms.
SHRI BHAGAWAN GOPI NATH
JI
Spiritual mental
discipline opened before me the one single secret of self-consciousness,
To reject the meshes of
worlday life from without.
And to come face to face with
the Sublime light within.
This very Self-sought
revelation made 'Gopi' comprehend the exact import
Of Three Syllabic 'OM' and
ruminate over it in Divine ecstacy.
