GOD
God is not
just a term but an omnipresent entity, not a figment of imagination but a living reality.
God is not the phenomenal world, but the
transcendental reality.
In this whole world, God alone is true. The one,
who reveals God, is the True Master, who deserves our gratitude.
An unenlightened person cannot perceive God, who is
nearer than the jugular vein.
Befriending God means befriending all.
One, whose heart is the abode of God, is transmuted
into a God. He crosses the whirlpool of the world and is saved.

saints.

by all.
God is our boat, oar as well as boatman.

above all.

transcends it.
First and last, God is all in all.
God alone is true, eternal and worthy of
glorification.
God is nectar; whoso drinks it, attains
immortality.
God is an ocean, which dissolves all dirt. To
cleanse the mind of its ‘dirt’, it must be immersed in God.

beings.

by all.
Only the rare few can understand the mystery of
God, the creator, the sustainer and the master of the universe.
God is Truth and can be realized by the grace of
True Master alone.
God is the most powerful lighthouse of which man is
just a ray; God is also the ocean of which man is just a drop.
GOD, EGO
God and ego
cannot co-exist. When a tree bears fruits, it bends downward. Similarly, if God dwells in
one’s heart, one must be humble, loving and egoless.
GOD FORGIVES
God is
omniscient. He forgives if one sincerely repents and pledges to be cautious in future.
GOD IN HEART
Imbibe God in
the heart to make it tranquil.
GOD PLEASED
God being
formless cannot be served. We can, however, serve the True Master and the devotees. If
they are pleased, God is pleased, automatically.
GOD’S ABODE
God’s
abode is full of bliss and free from all suffering.
GOD’S BOONS
Priceless are
the boons and blessing s of God. They can be valued only by His devotees.
GOD’S DWELLING
Where God-men dwell and
God is glorified, is the dwelling of God.
GOD’S GLORY
None can
behold God’s glory until God Himself displays it. Nor can God be realized without His
grace.
GOD’S GRACE
God’s
grace is the healing balm.
Without God’s grace, man is helpless: a; his
ventures miscarry.
Even a grain of God’s grace redeems loads of
sins.
We cannot glorify God save by His grace and will.
The grace of God and the True Master is not only a
penances for all suffering but also bestow peace and tranquility.
GOD’S MERCY
We should
always pray for God’s mercy, because how so cautious we may be, we can err.
GOD’S NAME
Having
identified God, go on uttering, chanting and remembering the Holy Name of God every
moment, so that it is entrenched firmly in your heart.
GOD’S WILL
Everyone gets
what God wills.
GOD-CONSCIOUS
For the
Godless, even a little trouble seems great. However for the God-conscious, even a great
trouble is small.
GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS
Friends, let
us imbibe God-consciousness from the True Master and cut short the cycle of births and
rebirths.
We suffer when we forget God and are blissful when
we are God-conscious. Let us ponder for how long we forget God and for how long we
remember God.
God-consciousness is God-remembrance.
GOD-DEVOTION
God-devotion
is not possible without God-knowledge. How can one love someone without knowing him?
Without God-devotion, one is not entitled to be
classed a human.
GOD-INCARNATE
One, in whose
mind God abides, is God-incarnate.
GOD-KNOWLEDGE
Some persons
consider God’s creations like the sun, the moon, the stars, etc. as God. But as
recorded in the scriptures, God is formless and all pervading. This concept is
God-knowledge or Brahma Gyan.
Even after hearing about the Path, the blind cannot
trace it. Likewise, simply by hearing the scriptures, one cannot know God. One can know
God only by the grace and guidance of a True Master – God-knowledge.
God-knowledge is a rare gift for the suffering.
We can know the taste of a thing only on partaking
of it. Similarly, we can experience the bliss of God-knowledge only on attaining it.
In no time, a True Master burns down the sins of
ages with the ‘fire’ of God-knowledge.
Even animals and birds would be superior to man if
he fails to achieve the real aim of human life i.e. God-realization. It is God-knowledge,
which distinguishes a man from an animal.
God-knowledge is invaluable. It can be attained not
by all the material wealth but by love and humility.
An ornament embellishes the body and also serves as
an umbrella for a rainy day. That is why god-knowledge has been compared to an ornament.
Without God-knowledge, one falls a prey to repeated
births and deaths. All one’s worldly know-ledge, enterprises, status and riches go in
vain.
Fie on the one who does not achieve the prime
purpose of human life i.e. God-knowledge.

doing a good turn to them.

lucky ones alone attain it.

possession.
Whatever the age, there is only one way to realize
God i.e. by the grace of a True Master.
Paradoxically, the treasure of God-knowledge
increases as it is spent.
God-knowledge transforms the state of mind from
autumn to spring.
Those, who drink the elixir of God-knowledge,
satiate their spiritual thirst of ages and become immortal.
When wood is burnt, even rusty nail tightly jammed
in it, get extricated, automatically. Similarly, all our accumulated sins are burnt down
in the fire of God-knowledge.
God-knowledge can be attained only by love and
humility, not by might and force.
God-knowledge ensures salvation. However, the
devotees must shun evil company to be happy in this world.
So long as a bird is on its claws, it remains on
the earth. But when it is on its wings, it soars high up in the sky. Similarly, blessed
with the wings of God-knowledge, the devotee soars high up in the spiritual sky.
A Swati Boond (A drop falling from the fifteenth
planet) is originally clean and pure. If it falls into a shell, it turns it into a pearl.
Falling on a banana, it turns it into camphor. On hot iron, it perishes and on filth, it
turns filthy. Similarly, those who attain God-knowledge, turn Godly and those who do not,
stay worldly.
All the nine manifestations of nature constituting
the creation i.e. the earth, the water, the fire, the sun, the moon, the stars, the ether,
the air and the Jiva (embodied soul) are transitory. The tenth i.e. the Creator alone is
eternal and immanent in them. Know this tenth, the unique and mystic entity i.e. God
(Brahma). This knowledge is God-knowledge (Brahma Gyan.).
GOD-KNOWLEDGE, RITUALS
Compared to
God-knowledge, rites and rituals are worthless.
GOD REALIZATION
One, who
wishes to realize God by repeating God’s Name, performing rituals and undergoing
tortures, is misguided. God can be realized only by the grace of a True master.

reach it. Similarly, identification of God can lead to God-realization.
Without love for God, one cannot realize God merely
by chanting God’s Name.
One can realize God only when one sheds one’s
egoism and takes refuge in the True Master.
One must realize God, the source of bliss and
eternal life.
God-realization is the highest state of being.
God-realization is the fulfillment of the prime aim
of life; it bestows supernal bliss and happiness.
God-realization is the second birth, which comes
about through the Word of the True Master.
A job done without the direction of the master is
not recognized. Similarly, without God-realization, performance of religious deeds cannot
bear fruit.
God-realization guarantees honourable acquittal in
the court of God. Do not miss, therefore, to realize god in this very life.
GOD-REALIZED
A God-realized
person does not criticize any religion.
The word of a God-realized person rends the veil of
Ignorance.
It is the bounden duty of the God-realized to lead
laymen on the path of Truth and thus make them happy and blissful.
God-realized beings worship the living instead of
the dead.
Whatever a God-realized being contemplates, comes
to pass. Therefore, he always thinks of good.
Only those, who have realized God, actually live;
others are dead.
Only those, who realize God, are awake. The rest
slumber under the spell of materialism.
A God-realized person knows the warp and woof of
the cosmos.
A God-realized person in the King of Kings.
The one, who realizes god, abides in eternity i.e.
liberation from birth and death, here and hereafter.
God-realized persons are like the military
personnel, while the rest are like the civilians. It is the bounden duty of the former to
save and serve the latter.
GOD-REALIZED, UNREALIZED
As darkness
and light cannot co-exist, the God-realized and the unrealized cannot consent.
GOD-REALIZED, WORLDLINGS
The anger of a
God-realized person is like a line drawn on water, while that of a worldling is like the
one etched on a stone. Reverse is the case of their respective love.
GOD-REALIZED, WORLDLY
Unlike the
worldly people, a God-realized being is not swayed by lust, anger, greed, attachment and
ego, rather he makes a judicious use of these instincts.
GOD- REMEMBRANCE
Always
remember to one, revealed by the True Master.
God being omnipresent, no particular time or place
is needed to remember Him. We can remember Him anytime, anywhere.
God-remembrance imparts divine glow to one’s
countenance and drives away one’s distress.
The Word of the True Master if fully imbibed,
would, automatically, enable one to remember God and banish evil thoughts.
God-remembrance demolishes the edifice of egoism.

The devotees, whose heart ever pulsates with
God-remembrance and every breath of whom is steeped in God-consciousness, deserve all
adoration.
GOD-REVELATION
Fire is latent
in wood, but it can be manifested only when ignited. Similarly, God is latent in every
creature and object, but can be revealed and realized only by the Word of a True Master.
GOD-VISION
Man, without
God-vision, slumbers in delusion and is not aware of his true self.
GOAL
To realize God
and not to eat, drink and sleep, is the goal of human life.
GRACE
Even a little
grace redeems one from all one’s sins, just as a single spark reduces reduces a pile
of wood to ashes in no time.

The blind
cannot lead the blind. Likewise, a guide without God-vision cannot unravel the Divine
Mystery.
