Swami Shivapadananda with spiritual hints

SWAMI SHIVAPADANANDA

DAILY READINGS

Taken from Mother Radha’s
notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

Day 335

 

Repeat God’s name sincerely. Go to the guru, you will come back stronger, more developed and
whole-hearted. Listen to the Guru‘s instructions. Only the guru knows your destiny.

Faith makes you strong. Be faithful in your spiritual practice.

Do not doubt or calculate, this leads to evil.

The sun is in the sky but the sky is not touched by it. Similarly
separate yourself from the body. Never feel ‘I am doing it.’ Or if you feel you
are doing it, offer it to God, then it is His responsibility.

If God is my
strength then how can I be weak? We need enlightened faith. Ask and learn from
the guru. Give service and have devotion to the guru.

How is your sadhana [spiritual practice]? As your day is, so your
meditation is. In meditation, say, ‘OK mind, so you want to run? So run.’

If God sits in front of you, how can you sing? Only by forgetting Him
outside. See Him inside, as ‘I am’.

Find the ego, then it is gone. Nothing is left. All is perfection.
