CONCENTRATE

"I concentrate on divine inspiration and I succeed."

I find great satisfaction in doing my best. If the task before me is interesting or challenging, I give it my undivided attention without much effort. Then I am able to accomplish what I set out to do.

When activities seem boring or too complex, I may lose concentration and become distracted. Perhaps I put things off or leave tasks uncompleted. When this happens, I remind myself that God's all-wise, all-accomplishing spirit is within me, helping me establish my life in divine order.

Such concentration draws together scattered thoughts so that they are all in focus. My mental energies are brought to bear on the one subject or project before me.

Concentrating on the inspiration I receive from God assures me of success.

"Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds."

Let Us Dwell With The Lord

Bring us, O Lord God... to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music... no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity; in the habitations of Your majesty and Your glory, world without end.

True Happiness

Does real happiness lie in enjoying creature comforts?  No.  True happiness consists in manifesting all the potentialities in man.  When you put into practice all the sacred thoughts that emanate from your mind, you will realize true happiness.  Most people do not practice the sacred impulses that arise in them with the result that they do not experience the bliss within them.

(Sanathana Sarathi, August 1995, pg 200)

VEDA 60

God is the closest , the fondest, and the most reliable companion. But, man, in his blindness, ignores Him and seeks the company of others. God is present everywhere, at all times. He is the richest and most powerful guardian. Yet, you ignore Him. The Lord is here, near, loving, accessible and affectionate. but, many do not open their eyes to that great opportunity. The name will bring Him nearer to you.

The Three Avatars And Their Triple Message

The Three Avatars And Their Triple Message

The previous Avatar, Shirdi Baba, laid the base for secular integration and gave mankind the message that duty is work.  The mission of the present Avatar is to make everybody realize that the same God or divinity resides in everyone.  People should respect, love and help each other, irrespective of colour or creed.  Thus, all work can become a way of worship.  Finally, Prema Sai, the third Avatar, will promote the evangel news that not only God reside in everybody, but everybody is God.  That will be the final wisdom which will enable every man and woman to go to God.  The three Avatars carry the triple message of work, worship and wisdom.
