Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Being Sensitive to Spiritual Wisdom
Fill the mind with spiritual statements, spiritual aphorisms and spiritual analysis. That means your whole thought process should become spiritual.

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
The Right Perspective on Sukha-Duhkhas
When you have alikeness towards sukha-duḥkha, it virtually means alikeness towards all the external causes, events and instances which bring about these.

Love Your Body
Understand that even for a spiritual seeker, the body has to be kept healthy. Health of the body depends upon applying ‘targeted exercises’. I think all of you should start treating your body just like any other object dear to you. So, I always say: “Love your body.”

Defects Show the Way to Perfection
You drop your bheda-buddhih. Your body itself is made by God. It is Godly. The world is Godly. The interaction between the two also must be Godly. If the feeling of Godliness is not emerging in your mind, the trouble is in the mind itself.

Illusoriness of Seen Objects
Experience is not in the body-level. It is not in the matter-energy level. It can only be in the sentience; and sentience is non-matter, it is supra-matter. It does not swell, it does not increase. It has got inscrutable power to give you any kind of a notion.

Non-dual Knowledge – Message of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam
The theme of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is clearly set forth right at the beginning of the text; it is jñāna, knowledge. True, everything is given a devotional touch. But what Śrīmad Bhāgavatam proposes to bring about is spiritual wisdom and wisdom alone.

Purpose of Meditation
Where will the mind rest? The mind has to rest on itself! Now, this restfulness of the mind on its own essence, is called meditative absorption.

What is Sannyaasa
So, sannyaasaashrama is a phase of life which one can take up, if necessary, early from Brahmacharya itself, and pursue the ideal of supreme spiritual Wisdom, which alone results in ego-effacement or ‘Sannyaasa’.

Practising A Liberal Mindset
I don’t know why when some defects or insufficiencies are pointed out, people improve, if at all, cryingly. Can they not improve smilingly? After all, when some defects have come to light should you not be happy and try to set them right?

Devotion – the Supreme Refuge
The supreme refuge is in surrender. If the mind can develop this sense of reliance and resignation on the Supreme, then that Supreme comes to redress, protect and support.

Time Limit for Self Realization?
The Self is devoid of time, space and causality. To realize that Self, where is the question of fixing a time limit? As long as...

How to Acquire Virtues
You have to provide nutrients to the mind and intelligence. When you provide the mental, intelligential and spiritual nutrients, the mind has to assimilate them. This process of assimilation depends on your sincerity, your interest and your dedication.

Mindfulness–Not mindlessness
Never feel even the least antagonised or confronted in the mental functions. On the other hand, consider it to be useful, necessary and indispensable. Recognise their nature and then encourage the useful, benevolent, enlightening and peaceful thoughts, and dissuade the others.

When the Mind becomes Your Friend
Understand that for Self-experience or for Self- realization to take place, the mind should be pure. It should be rid of stinginess, small-mindedness and desires. You must be liberal and generous in heart.

Functional Merit of Meditative Absorption
The saadhana can be two-fold. One is closing the door, sitting alone in a room and trying to dissolve the thoughts and emotions in the mind. The second part of the saadhana is, when such a state occurs, you have to comprehend it wisely.

Peace – in Meditation and in Activity
The mind has to become pure. A number of qualities are to be imbued into it. This pursuit of purity, goodness and virtues, which directly bring peace to the mind – no matter whether the mind is active or inactive – is the ultimate quest of all religions, philosophy, spirituality and yoga.

Who is a Good Devotee?
God loves those who have noble qualities in them and the devotee, who, with utmost Shraddha, attention, imbibes all the lakshanas (characteristics) becomes dearest to Him.

Lack of Openness – Its Fatal Consequences
We must be able to talk about this to others and also to our own children boldly and openly. This Atma-bala is necessary and through bhakti, and also through saadhana, you should develop it.

Blame the Sinful Act – Not the Sinner
You may dislike and disapprove of bad. But you cannot dislike and disapprove of people, even if they have dislikeable qualities.

Fruition of Spiritual Pursuit
By spiritual practice, you must be able to absorb and assimilate any input from the world, and at the same time, generate timely response to deal with whatever difficult situations and impacts you face.
Read More Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Purity of The Mind
Acceptance of the world is acceptance of plurality. Acceptance of plurality means being influenced by it. And to be influenced by dvandvas (pairs of opposites) means to be afflicted by desires, ego and possessiveness. These notes alone and nothing but these very notes of your own mind are the source of your afflictions. Their disappearance contributes to spirituality. When these notes begin to fall one by one, the worldliness dissolves and godliness shines forth.

Ego and Possessiveness – How to Get Rid of Them
Only when you ensure that throughout the day, whatever actions or reactions you have, there is a progressive enrichment and purification taking place in you, can you be considered a sādhaka. The extent to which you are able to remain equal, able to accept favourable and unfavourable outcomes with equanimity, will depend on the purity of the mind.

Self-realization – How Long Should Sadhana Continue
What is the correct sādhanā? How long should it continue? What is the actual goal? When will I achieve it? Poojya Swamiji, graciously, addresses the seekers, throwing light on these matters.
Read More Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Joy of Devotion
What is purity? How to gain it? The Upanishads are not merely enlightening, but through a process of enlightenment they also compel purity. So, by reading this verse a seeker has to focus on the task of purifying himself.

From Knowledge to Knower, God to Devotee
A devotee may initially seek God – a glimpse or vision of the God of his imagination. But as he progresses on the path of devotion, the focus shifts from God to his own personality.

śraddhā – The Watchword
You may wonder how this śraddhā or subtle refinements are going to help you in God-realization. In the pursuit of God-realization, your focus should always be on your mind. It is your mind that has to be purified.

Sublimity
What is spiritual vision in the end? To love and live in this world, FINDING IT GOD, the most beautiful. In this beauty, ugliness will dance, cruelty will sing, compassion and grace will play their notes too. But indifference must reign.

Mind – Pure and Impure
It is wrong to think that we cannot work without desires. Desire need not be a motivating force at all if one learns to live naturally. Does the earth need any desire to go around the sun? Do the trees grow and blossom motivated by any desire? In fact, desires hinder our natural efficiency and perfection.

Become what you chant
It is one thing to say that ‘may the mind delight in the Lord’s Lotus-feet’, and it is altogether different to make the mind actually delight in the Lotus-feet.

Divinity in Everything
If the earth is divine, then whatever has grown on the earth is also divine, including our own body. Instead of realizing this divinity which is already there in us and around us, we construct temples to install God there.

The Real Meaning of Moksha
Moksha is a clarity, a freedom that you need from whatever troubles you have now. If there is no trouble, you don’t need moksha.

Introspection and emotional refinement
Whatever you do, wherever you are, you can pursue constant introspectional sadhana of refinement and purification. In fact it should be so.

Fulfillment
Fulfillment will be had when the mind is properly treated to become pure and the hindrances to fulfillment are removed. And, when the mind is properly developed to have fulfillment, will it need any of these external objects, situations or possessions?

Bondage and Liberation
Many of you get confused about what in us gets liberated. My reply is, whichever part in you now feels bound, will start feeling the absence of bondage.
