Just a few general statements
1) Dont wish that you could do good things to those who need. When you wish to do good, you are also subconsciously wishing that someone be in need. Instead, God will send you people automatically if they need help but never wish that you could help. Also help them when given the opportunity but without making them a begger. Like Vivekananda said, the giver should worship and thank the taker for giving him or her the opportunity to serve.
2) A corollary of the above is the famous Veda hymn : “Aaano Bhadraha Vishwata ” Let noble thoughts come to me in from all directions.
3) Wish happiness to all in this world. If you wish everyone happiness, then happiness will come to you. This is like the Veda hymn : Sarva sukhina santu, sarve santu niramaya, sarva bhadrani pashyantu, ma kaschid dukhapnuyat” Meaning : let everyone be happy, let everyone be healthy, let everyone and everything be pure (bhardrani), and dont give anyone dukha (a word meaning physical pain and emotional anguish). This is the law of Karma.
4) What good is Atma gyana if you dont have any siddhis with it? It is worthless. Along with Atma gyana, siddhis MUST appear. Otherwise it is just dry intellectuality – a dead weight on the mind
5) I had seen my daughter had admission in Villanova 6 months ago. However, I thought her admission would come as early decision and she would be committed to it. Gurudada and Kashinathdada protected her and wanted her to go to pharmacy and so they did NOT let her get admission as an early decision but took it away and gave her admission at a later date. What a miracle!
6) One of my acquaintainces is having a lot of pain at the site of his radiation. I saw that this will continue and get worse for another 2.5 weeks. This pain is a blessing but he does not know it.
7) Yukteshwara means one who has merged with God.
8) I read the interpretation of Ramayana by Gurudev. I was totally amazed with it. I had read it in the past but Gurudev interprtation of Ramayana is in depth just like the interpretation of Mahabharata by Yogananda. Kaushalya means one who is very skillful (in the art of yoga) referring to Kriya Yoga and if you have that your son would be Rama which means Brahma gyana (the knowledge of God). I just could not resist writing this. Gurudev interpretation is far deeper. Soon, I will write about Ravanas brothers Mahiravana and Ahiravana and the 5 faced Hanuman that killed them.
Well enough said!
