Talk Excerpts 332. Swamiji says it is ignorance to find fault with others.

From Mother Radha’s notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

Lord Shiva belongs to nobody. One’s own soul is Shiva. Chant it continuously.

Understand yourself. Seek and find. You lost yourself, that is why you are crying.

The only siddhi [spiritual, psychic or occult power] worth having is seeing your own Self within yourself.

Only selfless love captures God’s [Ishta Devata if dualistic. or Brahman] heart. Only ‘mine’ and ‘thine’ binds man to pleasure and pain, i.e. duality.

Only the guru’s power is great enough to awaken spiritual power.

See God in all; you are pervaded by God; He is on all sides [omnipresent]

We pray: ‘Kill the wrong thoughts of the mind, Mahadeva.’

Do not disturb the minds of others; that is a great sacrifice.

The more still you are, the steadier the mind will be.

Eat with love to gain strength and contentment, so that you can live in the awareness of the God within.

True wealth is to love many. Love is God. So chant His name, meditate on Him, repeat His mantra with love.

Happiness comes from a disciplined life – work, eat, rest. When there is inner peace and outer calmness, all dealings are free from anxiety.

Judging others spoils our blessings. Holy Mother [Sri Sarada Devi] said, ‘If you must find fault, find it with yourself.’ It is ignorance to find fault with others.

Of a good man, shout. Of a bad man, never speak. Be like the ocean, swallow all the hurt and pain.
