A wife or husband supplies active and lasting
company . There is always somebody with whom to talk and plan. This must not be

stand by oneself through life. Loneliness is one of the most widespread and
emotionally piercing diseases of mankind . By virtue of pooling heir needs and desires
in marriage. A man and woman enjoy the opportunity of making their satisfaction
dependable. –Allen Fromme

Tell Me How
to Do It!
I don’t want a lawyer to tell me what I
cannot do. I hire them to tell me how to do what I want to do.
Doing what you like is freedom, liking what
you do is happiness.
If a man writes a better book, though he
built his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.
Quote from
the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Let me tell you that the realization of the
Self is possible for all , without any exception . one should pray to God with
a longig heart. God certainly listen to prayrs , if it is sincere. There is no
dbout about it.
Pray to Him with a yearning heart and weep .
That will purify your heart.
Pray to God with a yerning heart that you may
tke delight in His name. he will certainly fulfill your hearts desire.
When a man sincerely prys to God , he is able
to fix his mind on God and develp rel love for His Lotus Feet.
God is the Kalpataru. The Wish fulfilling
Tree. You will certainly get whatever you ask of Him. But you must pray
standing near the Kalpatarur . Only then will your prayer be fulfilled . But
you must remember another thing God knows our inner feeling. A man gets the
fulfillment of the desire he cherished , while practicing sadhana. As one
thinks , so one receives.
Pray to God . he is full of compassion . Will
He not listen to the words of His devotee? He is the Kalpataru. You will get
whatever you desire from Him
will you tell me one thing? Why do you harp
so much on sin ? By repeating a hundred tiems. “ I am a sinner”, one eerily
becomes a sinner One hsoul have such faith as to be able to say, “What? I have
taken the name of God; how can I be a sinner? God is our Father and Mother”
Tell Him “O Lord, I have commited sins, but I wont repat them” Chant His name
and purify your body and mind. Purify your tongue by singing God’s holy name.
A man can see God, if he combines in himself
the force of these three attractions; the attraction of the worldly man, the
husband’s attraction for the chaste wife, and the child’s attraction for its
mother. If you can unite these form of love and give it all to God. Then you can
see Him at once. If a devotee prays to God with real longing. God cannot help
revealing Himself to him.
Abhyasayoga is the yoga of practice . you
should practice calling on God every day. It is not possible to succeed in one
day. Though daily prayer, you will come to long for God. Courtesy The power of prayers
and The Art of Positive thinking
But, if He
exists?
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening
for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.
One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something,
which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does
not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes
rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I
derive 4m.
