Some People say "My love is not for myself; I work in this world not for my own happiness but for the welfare of other people. In fact, I live for others. Tocare only for my own happiness is selfishness – that is not my aim. My aim is the happiness of others”. This is superficial talk, betraying a lack of sincere and serious analysis! People do not realize that every so-called selfless act which they do brings happiness only to themselves! Let us take the example of a man who is prepared to undergo,throughout his lifetime, all kinds of sufferings...

Ramana Maharshi Disciple Sri Sadhu Om Discusses About Importance Of Sat-sanga – Association With The Real
Posted on 6:16 AM by Unknown
Though your mind lacks the strength of dis-crimination or dispassion (viveka and vairagya) re-quired to withdraw itself from the false attraction of the pleasures of this unreal world, your mind will naturally and spontaneously become mature to the extent to which you humbly and lovingly come very close and associate with enlightened sages (Jnanis), who abide as the reality (sat).We should not believe that we have by our own efforts and practice (sadhana) brought about the rising of such pure devotion and clear discrimi-nation that we are thus...

Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda First Meeting
Posted on 1:25 AM by Unknown
When Vivekananda came to Ramakrishna his name was still Narendranath -- later on Ramakrishna named him Vivekananda. When he came to Ramakrishna he was extremely argumentative, an atheist, a rationalist. He wanted proof for everything. There are some things that have no proof -- it cannot be helped. There is no proof for godliness: it is, and yet there is no proof. There is no proof for love. It is, and yet there is no proof. There is no proof for beauty. It is, and yet there is no proof. If I say, "Look how beautiful these ironwood trees are,"...

One evening in the year 1936 when I visited the Ashram I decided to ask an important question of Sri Bhagavan concerning certain spiritual practices....

Posted on 9:19 AM by Unknown
First of all, let us understand the meaning of Brahmacharya.'Yajnavalkya Samhita' states:"Brahmacharya is abstaining from all kinds of Maithuna or sexual enjoyment forever, in all places and in all conditions- physically, mentally and verbally."The great sage Vyasa said:'To abandon the pleasure gained through the sexual organs by restraint is defined as celibacy."Lord Siva said to Goddess Parvati,"O Parvati! What is there on this earth which cannot be accomplished if one has control over his sexual fluid?" That is, all powers reside at the divine...
