We are guests for two days!
Why quarrel with anyone?
We are guests for two days! He who sleeps on the golden bed now will go to the funeral pyre tomorrow!
Ultimately one has to give up father, mother, son and spouse and remain distressed!
The king also goes, the chief also goes Even the mighty Kumbhakarna had to go!
Worms, birds, even the Creator [Brahma] does not remain in the end!
Hence Meera says: "Brother! sing of the glory of Giridhar! Meditate on Rama!"

You are the embodiment of Truth, so when you tell a lie or hear an untruth spoken by others, you feel uneasy.
You are the essence of Peace, therefore you dislike restlessness, agitation and suffering of any kind.
You are eternal, pure and ever free, hence you neither want to undergo nor have bondage or limitation of any kind.
The Self that you truly are, is an embodiment of truth, peace and limitlessness, thus you have an inner pull to realise it.
With steadfast efforts, faith, clear intellect and discipline, you do finally realise it. This realisation is inevitable, just like how a river inevitably reaches the ocean.

⚜The man’s desire for God realization never perishes, though he may not accept and know it. He has a desire from this heart to be completely happy, free from all bondages and distresses. This is the desire for God realization. This desire is certainly satisfied, because this is the real and true desire of a creature.
⚜Being a slave to perishable things is the main reason that does not allow us to turn to the imperishable. To consider money as the greatest of all, is the sign of a deluded intellect.
⚜"It should happen this way, it should not happen this way" – in this outlook, there are all sorrows. If there is anything that you desire from the world, then you will have to experience suffering.

Often, My grace throws you and your ‘world’ into the 'cosmic washing machine', full spin, in order to make sure that your wrong notions, incorrect ideas, toxic tendencies - basically, all the ingredients of suffering, which you couldn't have given up voluntarily - are washed out forcefully.
You are thus gracefully compelled to offer yourself to the Totality — to the will and dance of the Divine. This process may feel harsh, unjust and painful to you initially, but in due time, you will yourself acknowledge that it was one of the best things that could have ever happened to you. ✨

A devotee should establish the idea of 'mine-ness' with God only and see everything else as 'not mine'.
God = mine
Everything else = not mine
Thereby, dealing with everything else in the world normally but dispassionately, while internally retaining passion for God all the time.
Like how an actor plays his allotted roles normally without forgetting his real identity, a devotee must do all his worldly duties playfully without forgetting God.

🎋Whatever is consumed or drunk by the mother passes through the nerves and vessels to the child, becoming the source of his satisfaction. During the ninth month, all outer signs attain completeness. And he is reminded of his previous birth, and recounts the good and bad deeds committed.
🎋He thinks: "I have seen thousands of wombs, eaten several kinds of food and sucked many breasts. Born and dead again and again, I am immersed in grief but see no remedy. Thinking of my good and bad deeds, I am suffering alone, although the bodies that enjoyed the fruits are gone."
🎋When I get out of this womb, I will take refuge in Sāmkhya-Yoga, which destroys misery and yields liberation; when I get out of this womb, I will take refuge in Maheśvara, who destroys misery and grants liberation.
🎋When I get out of this womb, I will take refuge in Nārāyana, who destroys misery and grants liberation. When I get out of this womb, I will meditate on the eternal Brahman.
🎋But when he reaches the birth canal and comes out of it with great difficulty, he is touched by an all-pervading movement [Māyā] that causes him to forget previous births and the good and the bad deeds performed therein.

✨🌿Shubh Dussehra🌿✨
•Dussehra - The tenth day of celebration
Navratri is replete with symbolism about vanquishing evil and wanton nature, and about having reverence for all aspects of life and even for the things and objects that contribute to our wellbeing. The nine days of Navratri are classified as per the three basic qualities of tamas, rajas and sattva. The first three days are tamas, where the goddess is fierce, like Durga and Kali. The next three days are Lakshmi related – gentle but materially oriented goddesses. The last three days are dedicated to Saraswati, which is sattva. It is related to knowledge and enlightenment.
•Vijayadashami - The Day of Victory
Investing in these three will make your life in a certain way. If you invest in tamas, you will be powerful in one way. If you invest in rajas, you will be powerful in a different way. If you invest in sattva, you will be powerful in a completely different way. But if you go beyond all this, it is no longer about power, it is about liberation. After Navratri, the tenth and final day is Vijayadashami – that means you have conquered all these three qualities. You did not give into any of them, you saw through every one of them. You participated in every one of them, but you did not invest in any one of them. You won over them. That is Vijayadashami, the day of victory. This brings home the message of how being in reverence and gratitude towards everything that matters in our lives leads to success and victory.
•Dussehra - Devotion and Reverence
It is my wish and my blessings that all of you should celebrate Dussehra with total involvement, joy and love.
Of the many things that we are in touch with, of the many things that contribute in making and creating our lives, the most important devices that we employ in making a success of our lives are our own body and mind. Being in reverence towards the very earth that you walk upon, towards the air that you breathe, the water that you drink, the food that you eat, the people that you come in touch with and everything else that you use, including your body and mind, will lead us to a different possibility as to how we can live. Being in a state of reverence and devotion towards all these aspects is a way of ensuring success in every endeavor that we partake in.
•Celebrate Dussehra With Joy & Love
Traditionally, in Indian culture, Dussehra was always full of dances, where the whole community mixed, met and mingled. But because of external influences and invasions over the past two hundred years, we have lost that today. Otherwise Dussehra was always very vibrant. Even now it is still so in many places, but it is being lost in the rest of the country. We have to bring it back. The Vijayadashami or Dussehra festival is of a tremendous cultural significance for all who live in this land – irrespective of their caste, creed or religion – and should be celebrated with gaiety and love. It is my wish and my blessings that all of you should celebrate Dussehra with total involvement, joy and love.

🍃🌸 We wish you all a very auspicious and joyful Vijayadashami/Dussehra. May you all conquer and attain victory over your shādripu [kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (attachment), mada (pride), and matsarya (jealousy)] and attain the highest good. 🌸🍃

•Dussehra - The tenth day of celebration
Navratri is replete with symbolism about vanquishing evil and wanton nature, and about having reverence for all aspects of life and even for the things and objects that contribute to our wellbeing. The nine days of Navratri are classified as per the three basic qualities of tamas, rajas and sattva. The first three days are tamas, where the goddess is fierce, like Durga and Kali. The next three days are Lakshmi related – gentle but materially oriented goddesses. The last three days are dedicated to Saraswati, which is sattva. It is related to knowledge and enlightenment.
•Vijayadashami - The Day of Victory
Investing in these three will make your life in a certain way. If you invest in tamas, you will be powerful in one way. If you invest in rajas, you will be powerful in a different way. If you invest in sattva, you will be powerful in a completely different way. But if you go beyond all this, it is no longer about power, it is about liberation. After Navratri, the tenth and final day is Vijayadashami – that means you have conquered all these three qualities. You did not give into any of them, you saw through every one of them. You participated in every one of them, but you did not invest in any one of them. You won over them. That is Vijayadashami, the day of victory. This brings home the message of how being in reverence and gratitude towards everything that matters in our lives leads to success and victory.
•Dussehra - Devotion and Reverence
It is my wish and my blessings that all of you should celebrate Dussehra with total involvement, joy and love.
Of the many things that we are in touch with, of the many things that contribute in making and creating our lives, the most important devices that we employ in making a success of our lives are our own body and mind. Being in reverence towards the very earth that you walk upon, towards the air that you breathe, the water that you drink, the food that you eat, the people that you come in touch with and everything else that you use, including your body and mind, will lead us to a different possibility as to how we can live. Being in a state of reverence and devotion towards all these aspects is a way of ensuring success in every endeavor that we partake in.

🌿श्रीगोप्य ऊचुः - भजतोऽनुभजन्त्येक एक एतद्विपर्ययम्। नोभयांश्च भजन्त्येक एतन्नो ब्रूहि साधु भोः॥
The Gopis say, "There are some people who love only those who love them. And, some people love even those who do not love them back. Still, others are those who neither love those who love them nor those who do not love them. O dear, can you tell us who is the best among these?"
🌿श्रीभगवानुवाच - मिथो भजन्ति ये सख्यः स्वार्थैकान्तोद्यमा हि ते। न तत्र सौहृदं धर्मः स्वार्थार्थं तद्धि नान्यथा॥
Lord Krishna says, "Those, who love only those who love them, love falsely. Their reciprocation is based only on their self-interest without any real companionship. Know their conduct to arise out of selfishness and there is no other reason.
🌿भजन्त्यभजतो ये वै करुणाः पितरो यथा। धर्मो निरपवादोऽत्र सौहृदं च सुमध्यमाः॥
Those, who love others who don't love them back, do it due to their compassion like our parents. O slender girls, there is righteousness and companionship without exception in this type of love.
🌿भजतोऽपि न वै केचिद् भजन्त्यभजतः कुतः। आत्मारामा ह्याप्तकामा अकृतज्ञा गुरुद्रुहः॥
And those, who do not love even the people who love them, why do they not love them? They are of two types, those who are blessed within and do not desire anything anymore, and others are those who are ungrateful and disloyal to their teachers".

🌿Every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra.
🌿Even if a person hurts you, give him love. The worst punishment is to throw someone out of your heart. You should love everyone as God, and love each other. If you cannot love each other, you cannot achieve your goal.
🌿See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away.
🌿The whole universe is our home and everyone residing in it belongs to our family. Instead of trying to see God in a particular appearance, it is better to see him in everything.
🌿The best service you can do is to keep your thoughts on God. Keep God in mind every minute. Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SAGUNA BHAKTI
🌿One must have devotion somewhere, whether in one's Master or in the one God. Without devotion, everything is in vain.
🌿If upon having gained knowledge of That which is without attributes, one ignores That which has attributes, such a "knowledgeable one" looses out on both sides.
🌿For such a one there is no Devotion [Bhakti] and no Knowledge [Jnana], but only pride that takes over in between. Therefore, don’t give up chanting and repeating the Lord's name in meditation.
🌿Even though one may be knowledgeable, by giving up the worship of God with attributes, one becomes unsuccessful in realizing Brahman, so don't give up the worship of God with attributes.
🌿Worship without any desire in the intellect has no equal in all the three worlds. Desireless worship without any expectations cannot happen without strong power.
🌿With desire, one gains various fruits, however when one worships without any desire or expectation, the devotee is one with God. Gaining some fruit and being God are two very different things.
