36 | On Bhagavad Gita | Equilibrium of Nature through Divine Manifestation

What we have to understand is that the ‘I’, the Supreme Presence, has the inscrutable power to accomplish anything and all necessary. This is how like the general aggregate creation, the special manifestations also come to be.

Gurupada Samarpanam

As we inaugurate the rebuilt Poornashram, I am moved to share a few reflections. This space, born out of Baba’s spiritual legacy, is not just a physical structure but a living expression of the austere and ascetic nature of this sacred place.

Getting Attuned to Sadguru

To have a close association of a Mahatma is very rare in one’s life and to have an opportunity to do personal service to him is even rarer. I truly consider myself blessed for this chance, having been able to do whatever little seva that was possible by me. These few days will certainly remain as a fond memory for the rest of my life.

25 | On Bhagavad Gita | Samatva – the essence of Bhagavad Gita

Take away from your mind, O Arjuna, all sense of difference about the spiritual pursuit. It is the mind and intelligence that work in both cases. In Jñāna-niṣṭhā, they become very specific and exclusive. And in Karma-niṣṭhā, their application is broad, including all activities of worldly life. So, remove even the least sense of difference between the two niṣṭhās. For, they have the same emphasis as well as goal. Each will take the seeker to the same spiritual goal of inner fullness, abundance and ecstasy.

Reminiscences of Five Divine Days

As Swamiji and some other devotees carried the armchair, Bābā was amused and he started shouting “Hari bol Hari bol”– as it is done in Bengal, but while carrying a dead body! The few railway staff present in the deserted station at that unearthly hour watched curiously the strange procession. Did they know that the reminder about mortality of the body was coming from an Immortal Soul while being carried by another Immortal Soul?

How to recognise a Guru?

A time comes in the life of a serious seeker, when he eagerly seeks the ultimate and feels the need for one path guided by one Guru. Holding on to one is important in making the divergent mind convergent.

Influence of Gunas–Are we helpless?

Everything is the effect of guṇas. Work, cessation, dream, sleep, wakefulness — all. But within these, the guṇas alone make you think, enquire, seek etc. See all as guṇas and flow with them. Do when you feel like doing. Stop and leave when you feel so. Be natural.

Bhagavad Gita for Personality Transformation

Right from birth, we are slave to our attraction and repulsion towards worldly objects and situations. Our mind constantly undergoes elation, depression, and agitation, depending on whether the objective situation we face is to our liking or disliking. We are fearful of losing what we like and facing what we dislike. Bhagavadgeeta wants us to transform this slavery into mastery by cultivating the “Yoga” attitude.
