Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Money
A greedy man does not care for your Vedanta philosophy
For, he has his own
philosophy which is more convenient and more profitable!
A greedy man may die,
but ever remains his greed.
Neither do I condemn
money nor do I condemn man. Rather, I condemn greed.
A greedy man’s property
is grabbed by greedy man only.
]I pray;
May everybody have
enough money but not greed.
Man without money is
flower without honey.
Verily you are good. O money!
Yet the bad names to you are many!
So, please remain, O money!
always in holy company!
Some are corrupt with regard
to money.
Some are corrupt with
regard to women.
Some are corrupt with
regard to power.
But corruption does not
lie in money, women or power.
It is lurking in the
mind .Educate the mind and eradicate corruption.
O money! How much tear
of sorrow you have brought to many!
O money! How may hand
have caressed you lovingly!
O money! How much tear
of joy you have brought to many!
The object of religion
The Speaking tree ET
By Swami Ramdas
The object of religion
is to raise human life and consciousness to divine life and consciousness. It
is, in fact, a God-possession by which every aspect of life is elevated and
transformed into an absolute state of perfection.
The purpose of all
spiritual discipline such as prayer, worship and self-dedication is to attain
to this exalted state. It must be at the very outset understood that the
supreme Truth that we aspire to realise is dwelling within every one of us.
By a continuous
recollection and meditation of this Truth, we ought to provide favourable
internal conditions so that this supreme Reality may purify the emotions of the
heart and fill it with love, compassion and peace; that it may illumine the
intellect with the vision of equality and a universal sense of oneness in the
multitudinous revelations of nature, that it may be made to flow out
spontaneously by the balance of a purified heart and inspired intellect as
selfless action that tends towards the regeneration of humanity without any distinction
of race, creed, colour or nationality.
The intellect, detached
and merged in the super-conscious and static existence behind the
manifestation, should stand as an eternal witness, calm, serene and filled with
radiance, supporting the workings of universal love and service for which the
heart and body are made the instruments.
God, who is at once the
immanent and transcendent spirit, who is the one sole Reality, is not only the
silent and attributeless Brahmn but also a Truth revealed as eternal light,
infinite love and endless peace and bliss.

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.
