Attachment...!

"The more is a man's attachment to the world,the less he likely to attain knowledge.The less his attachment to the world,the more is the probability of his gaining knowledge."

Do not let worldly thoughts and anxieties disturb your mind......!

Can't we get rid of guilt without spiritual illumination....!

"Our mind has got unlimited power to assimilate any input.We tend to say "time heals".What heals is, the mind itself by virtue of its own healing power.It is ignorance that causes suffering.You suffer unduly because you do not know what lies within you.The self within you-which you constantly refer to as 'I'-is the supreme power that has created this entire universe.The more and more you dwell upon the magnificence of this "I"-your true identity-the more you will imbibe its brilliance,strength and vastness.Whenever you are assailed by some wrong thoughts or constrictions, you would like to overcome,whenever you fail to imbibe some virtues or qualities you would like to have,sit in a place,close your eyes ,and contemplate upon the supreme power within you.Whenever senses become turbulent,moderate them by the application of your mind.If the mind is confused,treat and direct it with your intelligence.When everything fail,close your eyes and dive within...!

Who is a sinner...?

"If you say,'I am a sinner',eternally,you will remain a sinner to all eternally.You ought rather to repeat,'I am not bound,I am not bound,who can bind me..?I am son of God,The king of kings...!"

Approching God...!

"One can ascend to the top of a house by means of a ladder or a bamboo or a staircase or rope:so too,diverse are the ways of approaching God and each religion in the world shows one of the ways....!"

Seekest thou God...?

"Then see him in man:His divinity is manifest ,more in man than in anyother object.Man is the greatest manifestation of God.....!"

What do you mean by enlightenment....?

" Enlightenment is that stage, where the ego drops and the bondage ceases.You understand the role of Nature(prakruti) and the illusory role of the ego.Guilt is only a kind of kartrtva-bhoktrutva feeling.Free yourself of all affectations...!"

How can I stop myself from doing miserable actions....?

"There is a way..!.Evaluate the cause and the consequences of the practice,it's degrading and weakening effects on your mind and body.You must always weigh its deeper and longterm harmful effects against its immediate attraction or pleassure.Initially,you may at times allow it phisically.But denounce it mentally,sternly.Every time you fail in your resolve ,you must feel bad about the failure.This repeated assertion and condmnation will strengthen the mind against the indulgence.
With regard to any action by the body,we feel ,"I have done it,I had willed it..".That means ,we identify our' ego' as the cause of the action.Imposing this casuality on our own self is called' Kartrutva'(doership).Consequently,we associate our selves with the result of the action also if something bad result,we feel penitent, thinking that we are the cause for it.In the case of of something good or great taking place,we feel similarly elated.This egoistic association with the results or fruits of an action is called 'Bhoktrtva'(enjoyership or sufferership).Both these notions will have to be dissolved.And that can take place only through enlightenment...!"

How to redeem myself from a nagging sense of guilt...?

"There can be differnt kinds of guilt,it could have something to do with past action,the memory of which haunts you,creating mental pressure.Another kind of guilt is to do with present action,when you continue to do something that you feel is wrong,unable to stop.Then again,you may categorise guilt depending on on the kind of wrong it involves:violent actions like murder,rape,stealthy actions like lying,lack of restrints like overeating,oversleeping.Some actions may involve you alone,while others involve others.
To get rid of guilt,first understand that you must first discontinue actions that make you feel guilty....!"

DISCRIMINATION OR VIVEKA....!

"One is safe to live in this world,if one has viveka(discrimination of real from unreal),and vairagya(dispassion),and along with these intense devotion to God..!"

" Life has a bright side and a dark side, for the world of relativity is composed of light and shadows.If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil,you youself will become ugly.Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty...!"
