Use your mind as the bow, your will as the bowstring and ‘OM’ as the arrow. Aim at the Supreme Being and let go of the arrow one-pointedly.
Your real essence is not born and does not die. The ‘I”, which is witness to all states of existence,does not get involved or get destroyed.
A spiritual seeker is not tempted by anything other than to find the truth one-pointedly.
Unless something dies and disappears, there's no place for anything new to take birth.
OM is the bridge that links this world to the other.
OM represents the sound by which that primordial creation starts and ends.
If we live in this world with the heart anchored to the core Truth, then we can live more efficiently than ever before.
Like the frog that lives on earth and water, the one who has understood the Truth, whose mind is anchored to the Spirit, can live in this world also.
It doesn’t matter who the teacher is, what he or she looks like, etc. What's important is the wisdom that comes from the teacher.
The greatest miracle for a great yogi is to guide someone to the highest. If one person in a million reaches that, it's a great miracle.
It's dangerous for sadhaks (spiritual aspirants) to get caught up in miracles. Most of the miracles are of this world, and if you get caught up in it, you're also caught up in this world.
What we cannot explain, we call a miracle. Usually, miracles happen due to laws of nature that most people don’t know of. All the Yogi does is to tap these laws, so that he/she can operate it.
