Teacher vs Guru

A Teacher instructs you, a Guru constructs you. A Teacher sharpens your mind, a Guru opens your mind. A Teacher answers your question, a Guru questions your answers. A Teacher reaches your mind, a Guru reaches your spirit. You find a Teacher. A Guru accepts you.

अहंकार

“घमंड” और “पेट”
जब ये दोनों बढतें हैं..
तब “इन्सान” चाह कर भी
किसी को गले नहीं लगा सकता..

जिस प्रकार नींबू के रस की एक बूँद
हज़ारों लीटर दूध को बर्बाद कर देती है…
…उसी प्रकार…
“मनुष्य का अहंकार”
भी अच्छे से अच्छे संबंधों को
बर्बाद कर देता है!!!

कोई किस्मत के सितारे
बदलने की बात करता है ,
कोई हाथो की रेखाएँ
बदलने की बात करता है …
मेरा सतगुरू कितना प्यारा है ,
जो हर वक़्त मेरे साथ चलने की
बात करता है. 

फर्क होता है

फर्क होता है खुदा और फ़क़ीर में,
फर्क होता है किस्मत और लकीर में..
अगर कुछ चाहो और न मिले तो समझ लेना..
कि कुछ और अच्छा लिखा है तक़दीर में।

तूलसी वृक्ष ना जानिये

तूलसी वृक्ष ना जानिये
गाय ना जानिये ढौर !
माता पिता मनुष्य ना जानिये,
ये तीनो नन्द किशोर!!

अर्थात्:– तूलसी को कभी
वृक्ष नही समझना चाहिए,

गाय को कभी पशु ना समझे!
और
माता पिता को
कभी मनुष्य ना समझे,
क्योकि
ये तीनो तो
साक्षात भगवान का रूप है!!

God in your own image

“You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” 
― Anne Lamott

मत तोला कर इबादत को

मत तोला कर इबादत को अपने हिसाब से…
रहमते इसकी देख कर, अक्सर तराज़ू टूट जाते है।

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”

Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love

Somehow, not only for Christmas but all the long year through, The joy you give to others is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing the poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing returns to you glad.

TIME

I've only just a minute forced upon me, can't refuse it.* But it's up to me to use it. Give an account if I abuse it. *Only sixty seconds in it. Didn't seek it, didn't choose it,* I must suffer if I lose it, Just a tiny little minute. *~Dr. Benjamin E. Mays*

The power of your love

Even in the smallest of moments, your appreciation of life is unbounded. Experience all the beauty that is, and expand that beauty with the power of your love.

प्रभु का रास्ता बड़ा सीधा है

प्रभु का रास्ता बड़ा सीधा है,
और बड़ा उलझा भी,!!
बुद्धि से चलो तो बहुत उलझा,
भक्ति से चलो तो बड़ा सीधा,
विचार से चलो तो बहुत दूर,
भाव से चलो तो बहुत पास
नजरो से देखो तो कण कण मे,
और अंतर्मन से देखो तो जन जन में"

Realization

What is spiritual spiritual journey?

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there. 
               -Billy Corgan

Man and Joy

Man cannot live without joy; therefore when he is deprived of true spiritual joys it is necessary that he become addicted to carnal pleasures. 

         -Thomas Aquinas

You Only

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. 
                                                          - Swami Vivekananda

My perspective

From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest

Happiness - The Spiritual experience

Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Men without a spiritual life

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
