🌿A real prayer will never contain any suggestions, instructions or demands. The sincere devotee will simply say, ‘O Lord, I do not know what is good or what is bad for me. I am nobody—nothing. You know everything. I know whatever you do must be for the best; therefore, do as you wish.’ In real prayer you bow down, surrender and declare your helplessness to the Lord.
🌿If you try to pursue happiness, you will miss it because the search for happiness will cause discontent. Searching is bound to create turbulence within. A turbulent mind is an unhappy mind. Your search for happiness is always in the future, it is never in the present. The future is outside; the present is within. Bliss awaits you within.

Others are not actually responsible for what happens to us. They are mere instruments to bring about what was anyway meant to happen to us, in some way or other due to our karma.

🌿ADVICE FOR HOUSEHOLDERS🌿
While in a family-you should be respectful and reverential in your dealings with elders, and affectionate and loving towards those younger than yourself. Far from being disrespectful to images of gods and goddesses, householders should show reverence to them. The more a man’s mind becomes endowed with magnanimity and the more he possesses faith and reverence, the more will good accrue to him in the next birth.
The more one is engrossed in the world devoid of the sense of dharma, the more one sinks from dark to even darker regions. As a big tree grows from a small seed, so from a little sense of faith and reverence a man may by dint of his efforts realize the Self and be liberated. So also a tiny seed of sin may gradually grow until a man falls to the lowest depth, making him a dung worm.
A householder should be kind to all, but the sannyasins, who have renounced everything, should be neither kind nor cruel but indifferent, and thus work out their own liberation. Without thinking this transitory samsara real, all who lead a domestic life, should remain there as strangers, keeping ever in view the fact that there is a permanent abode of peace, different from it.

✨HAPPY GURU-PURNIMA✨
🌿Salutations to Sri Guru who shows the right path to one whose mind is deluded by attachment and thus confused in the forest of Samsara.
🌿Afflicted by the three kinds of fires, the restless creatures on earth wander aimlessly. To such people the Guru is verily the Supreme Ganga. Prostrations to such Guru.
🌿Whatever the merit is acquired from pilgrimages and bathing in the sacred water extending to the seven seas by one, cannot be equal to one-thousandth part of the merit derived from partaking the feet-washed water of the Guru.
🌿If Shiva is angry, the Guru saves you; but if the Guru is angry, even Shiva cannot save you. Therefore, with every effort, take refuge in the Guru.
🌿The syllable “Gu” is that which transcends all attributes, and the syllable “Ru” is that which is without form. The Guru is said to be the one who bestows the state that is beyond attributes (and form).
🌿O dear, Guru is the Shiva without three eyes; He is the Lord Vishnu with two hands. He is again Brahma with one face.
🌿Even the Devas, the Kinnaras, Gandharvas, Pitris Yakshas and the sages like Tumburu and others do not know the right technique of serving the Guru.
🌿People who are well versed in Tarkashastra (Logic), in the Vedic Chhanda Karmakandins (one well-versed in religious ceremonies, rites and rituals), people well versed in worldly sciences - none of them knows the pure Guru Tattva in its entirety.
🌿On account of great egotism, pride, power of tapas, and education, Jivas (individual souls) roam about in this world like the pots in a persial wheel.
🌿Neither those who perform great sacrifices, nor yogis, nor those who practice severe austerities are liberated if they are averse to Guru Tattva.
🌿Those who are averse to the service of the Guru cannot be expected to be liberated from the cycle of Samsara (birth and death), may be they are Gandharvas, Pitris, Yakshas, Rishis, Siddhas or Devas.
🌿What is the use of elaborating here? Without Guru’s infinite grace peace of mind is difficult even after studying millions of scriptures.
🌿O Mahadevi, having heard the importance of the Guru, whoever indulges in vilifying the Guru goes to terrible hells and stays there as long as the sun and moon shine on the earth.
🌿At all times and under all conditions one should feel the non duality of the Self but one should never have this feeling with his Guru.
🌿One should worship the sacred lotus feet of the Satguru till the “seen” disappears (absence of duality). To those only there is liberation and not to those who act in contradiction.
🌿Even though one is the knower of the entire truth (knower of all shastras); if he is a Guru Tyagi (abandoner of the Guru) he will face, at the time of death, great distraction.
🌿On seeing a person speaking ill of the Guru, if one is not able to cut his tongue, one should drive out that person from that place. If the person lives there, then one should leave that place.
🌿The Guru is one who instructs the disciple about attributeless, eternal Brahman, and there by reveals the Brahmanbhava (feeling of being Brahman) in his heart just like one lamp kindles another lamp is the Guru.
🌿By steadiness in the path to liberation, by seeing one’s own Self in oneself, by the practice of introspection within and by the Grace of the Guru, the Knowledge of the Self dawns in the Sadhaka.
🌿Guru is Shiva, Guru is God. Guru is the relative of all embodied beings. Guru is the Self. Guru is Jiva. There is nothing other than the Guru.

🌿Those who like to dwell on the faults of others are human vultures. There is already too much evil in the world.
🌿Don't talk of evil, don't think of evil, and don't do evil. Be like a rose, wafting to all the sweet fragrance of soul goodness. Make everyone feel that you are a friend, that you are a helper.
🌿If you want to be good analyze yourself and develop the virtues in you. Banish the thought that evil has any part in your nature, and it will drop off.
🌿Make everyone else feel that you are an image of God, not by your words but by your behavior. Emphasize the light, and darkness will be no more. Study, meditate, and do good to others.

NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HARI-HARA
🌿"I, Lord Śiva, am this Nārāyaṇa. Of this there is no doubt. Those who see no difference between him and me should be granted the highest wisdom.
🌿This highest form of mine, named Nārāyaṇa, peacefully dwells in the selves of all beings. It is called - the imperishable.
🌿But some people think otherwise, seeing differences in the world. They do not apprehend me, and are born again and again.
🌿There is no rebirth for people who see this Viṣṇu as being one with me, the unmanifest Lord Śiva.
🌿Therefore, you should regard Viṣṇu, the beginningless, endless, imperishable self, as me alone, and worship in that way.
🌿Those people go to terrible hells
who see me otherwise, thinking that he and I are different gods. I do not abide in them.
🌿I liberate those who take refuge in me: the fool and the scholar, the Brahmin and the dog-cooker, but not one who reviles Nārāyaṇa.
🌿Therefore, to give me pleasure, my devotees should praise him and bow to him, the highest spirit, the great yogi.”
🌿Śiva, bearer of the Pināka bow, spoke these words and embraced Viṣṇu. He then disappeared in front of the entire audience of onlookers.
~Ishvara Gita, Chapter 11, Verses 111-119

🌿You should all be good and pious – not God fearing, but God loving. Speak the truth. Be just and honest to all. Treat all persons equally. Have faith in Lord Krishna and surrender yourself to Him. Be charitable and never harm the hungry and the weak. Realise that service to men and animals is service to God.
🌿You should strongly believe that Krishna is your God and never slacken your faith in Him. He will surely protect you. You should regard Him as the be-all and end-all of your life. Your ultimate good lies in serving Him, which should be done with all your heart, mind and soul. Trust in His protection. Remember Him always in all thoughts, words and deeds.

🌿दतयाऽलपधिया दवी योगगमया दराशया ।
इचछा परातमनः काम नितयानितयसवरपिणी ॥
Devi is inconceivable to those who are of dull intellect; only the Yogis can see Her by their Yogic powers. She is eternal [Brahman] and also non-eternal [Maya]. She is the will power of the Supreme Self. She is the first Creator of this world.
— Srimad Devi Bhagavatam, 3.3.52
🌿तां ज्ञात्वा मुच्यते जन्तुर्जन्मसंसारबन्धनात् ।
सा विद्या परमा ज्ञेया वेदाद्या वेदकारिणी ॥
She is the Supreme Knowledge, existing before the Vedas, and the Originator of the Vedas. The individual souls, knowing Her Nature, become able to free themselves from the bondages of the World.

Question: We often hear you say: "Think of God." But surely God is unthinkable and formless. What can be thought of must have name and form and therefore cannot be God.
Anandamayi Ma: Yes, without doubt, He is beyond thought, form and description, and yet I say: "Think of Him!" Why?
Since you are identified with the ego, since you think you are the doer, since you say: "I can do this and that," and since you get angry, greedy, and so forth, you therefore have to apply your "I-ness" [ego] to the thought of Him.
True, He is formless, nameless, immutable, unfathomable. All the same He has come to you in the form of the Eternal Sound or the descent of God in the form of the Word, or in the form of Saguna Ishvar or an Avatar. These also are He Himself and consequently, if you abide by His name and contemplate His form, the veil which is your "I" [ego, which creates the sense of duality] will eventually wear out and then He, who is beyond form and thought, will shine forth.
You think that you are engaging in sadhana, but actually it is He who does everything, without Him nothing can be done. And if you imagine that you receive according to what you do, this is not quite correct either, for God is not a merchant; with Him there is no bargaining.
