Man expects results without making any effort. This is impossible. When the results do not commensurate with the efforts put in, we feel bad. To overcome this, we must develop a sense of detachment. Whatever we do, we must do it with patience, sincerity and with out expectation. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1345323956169936897

Jaya Guru Datta. 11 shlokas of Jnana over were explained. Bhagavan Sri Krishna declared that He was giving Arjuna the eternal knowledge of Karma Yoga and Jnana Yoga because Arjuna was his sakha (friend) and bhakta (devotee). In describing Sakha, Pujya Swamiji explained sakha meant a friend as dear as one’s own life. Swamiji quoted Bhartrhari subhashitam in defining the qualities of a true friend to perfectly drive home what a true friend should be like. IN doing that, we learned how Sri Krishna upheld that definition so beautifully and how we are to conduct ourselves to be called a true friend. Today’s episode is live now

The greatest gift or merit of a Sadguru's relationship is the power to withstand difficulties. Then the Blessing follows. Ego or force does not work here. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1344969117183442946

For some, knowledge is like the weight of a bundle of sticks carried on their heads. For some others it is like the chariot drawn by uncontrollable horses.

Sadguru knows what preaching is appropriate to whom. In the view of a Wise Guru, all are equal. He does not show any special favor to anybody. He teaches the same to everybody. He treats all alike. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1316695312644427776

While doing good deeds, sometimes it so happens that our interest and involvement diminishes a little and in our anxiety to complete the task, we commit mistakes. When you do good deeds, do not ever be proud, but do it with earnestness, sincerity and love. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1316332935461568512

Start developing a positive attitude right from now, and see how the so called problems and unhappiness flee from you! https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1339888143818838021

If one is successful initially, one must not feel that he achieved so much. In contrast, one must not be disappointed by defeat. Despair leads to doom. Failures are the stepping stones to success. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1339525752715296774

Think of your capacity before making a promise. Do not make it in haste. And then, keep up your word and execute it without delay even at the risk of your life. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1339163361972346880

When you find fault with others showing your accusing finger towards them, your three fingers are directed towards you. This suggests that before you think of other's mistake, introspect upon your merits and demerits. Look before you leap, think before you talk. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1334814709674094592

Humiliation of friends and relations comes under mental violence. Spreading false rumors about him is violence committed through words. Robbing a person and beating him is physical violence. These three violences lead the doer to Naraka. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1334452321233883143

Divya Naama Sankeertana (singing the Divine name), chanting the infinite glories of God and listening to discourses on spiritual subjects, are some of the important features of Satsanga.

If you say "tough, tough", then everything is tough, even the breathing becomes "tough" and if you think: 'It is easy', then you learn everything. You yourself are the creator of all problems in your life. You are also the creator of happiness. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1331190830015647744

A man can make his life either happy or miserable depending on the manner in which he puts the gift of 'speech' to use. By proper and discreet use of speech, a man not only makes his own life happy but for others as well. Therefore, it is said "Think Before you speak". https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1330828442489606145

Life is going to shovel on you all kinds of dirt. The trick to get out of this dirt is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, but by never giving up. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1330466056884822016

Don't be under the impression that you are already a good person and you need no change. The ego will drag you instantly into a pit. Sacrifices are very important for reformation. Do not get dejected if there are obstacles on the path https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1330103664455761920

Music touches the deepest part of a man's being. The greatness of music lies in the fact that it is both the source of creation and also the means of absorbing it. No wonder, our sages and saints at all times have taken to music to merge with the 'Divine'. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1329016501781794816

Do not ponder over limitations or bad experiences of yesterday. Be engaged, while experiencing both happiness and distress, in prayers to God. Awaken the God who is right within 'you' through constant prayers and meditation instead of brooding over your weaknesses. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1328654113672888321

Balanced and sensible mind unlock the hard chest of problems. A foolish mind finds no end to problems. The solution of these problems must come from within, as all problems are created by mind. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1327204561417854982

The Almighty knows what you want. He likes your sincere devotion. God is your inner consciousness. ‘He’ also knows that the surest path to reach God is self confidence. This means to turn one’s thoughts inward and to pray for the protection of the inner being. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1326842174764249088

Forgetting for a moment all anxieties and to laugh is conducive to good health. Laughing at oneself & making others also laugh generates a unique energy which enlightens and enlivens life. As against this weeping for oneself always and making other also weep, shatters life. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1326479786382909442

Obeisances at the Holy Lotus Feet of Parama Pujya Swamiji, who as Jagadguru Sri Krishna Bhagavan is giving us the Bhagavad Gita Upadesha all over again, lovingly and carefully paving the path for us to escape the cycle of rebirths.

Like beads strung on a thread, all creation rests in Parabrahman (Bhagavad Gita 7.7 from today’s discourse). Pujya Sadgurudeva is the manifest form of that unmanifest energy.

Naadopasana (worship of music) is a great spiritual science itself. Nada, when concentrated and devotedly meditated upon, opens the doors of the Divine and leads the Saadhaka (aspirant) to merge and be one with the Supreme Lord. https://twitter.com/sgsswamiji/status/1323943071713759232
