Swami Shivapadananda with more on God-consciousness
SWAMI SHIVAPADANANDA
DAILY READINGS
Taken from Mother Radha’s
notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.
Day 268
Only ripe fruit will fall, do not fight against that. Nature is but the
book-keeper. There are no mistakes. Her time is the right time. Rain falls,
evaporates, rises again. We do that too in the end.
Look at every face and see God and guru there. Only then there is no
separation, no obstacle between you and God.
It is hard to get up for meditation when you are alone. But you are
never alone, God is always there, God never sleeps.
God, God, God. Long for God. Cry for God. Think only, ‘God, God, God.’
Think, ‘
Krishna is in my heart and I am at His Lotus feet.’ is in my heart and I am at
his lotus feet.’
There is nothing impure, all is pure. Be like the sun, see the clouds
far below. Do not think or feel. Be.
It is God in me that serves God in you.
Meditate on joy.
Govinda [Krishna or God] is guru and guru is Govinda.
When you feel sad know that it is just a cloud. Tear it away. Grab hold
of God’s feet, He will take you across. Nothing can stop you. God is the only
reality, the rest is dream, push it away.
Inside He is One, outside He is many.
For three weeks be a witness only, and see what happens.
All God wants is your love.
