Ideal Path

In life, everything has to be governed by restraints.  These restraints should be for the purpose of directing life in the ideal path.  Men desire the fruits of good deeds without doing good deeds and want to avoid the consequences of bad actions while indulging in them.

(Sanathana Sarathi, December 1995, pg 317)

Power Of Will

Precious Life

People do not comprehend the preciousness of human life and all its potentialities.  Men should learn to lead a moral life.  When one's thoughts are pure, one's life becomes sacred and blissful.  No room should be given for bad thoughts and bad actions.

(Sanathana Sarathi, December 1995, pg 287)

Q541

Wherefrom can one draw strength on the Godward path while living in the midst of the Prakriti?



The tiny sparrow sits on the storm-tossed bough, because it knows that its wings are strong.  It does not depend upon the tossing bough to sustain it.  So too, rely on the Grace of God, earn it and keep it.  Then, whatever the strength of the storm, you can survive it without harm.

(SSS Vol 5, pg 151- 152)

DIVINE EXPRESSION

"I am an expression of God in my world."

When I think about who I am, do I most often think of my human personality and characteristics? True, they are a part of me, but there is something much greater in me.

I am a spiritual being, for God's spirit is within me. When I truly see myself as an expression of God in my world, I will allow my divine nature to shine forth with brilliance in everything I do.

Because I am in tune with God, I draw on inner resources and know true fulfillment in whatever I do. All things do work together to bring about what is best for me and for everyone around me.

I am an expression of God in my world. As an expression of God in the world, I can lead the way to a new day filled with wonderful blessings.

" 'In him we live and move and have our being';

as even some of your own poets have said,

'For we too are his offspring.' "

- Acts 17:28
