Talks Excerpt 333. Swamiji says: When you are united in thought, word and deed, there is nothing you cannot do.

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

All relationships spring from the mind. All experiences are mental, psychological. Do not categorise them. Then will you become aware of the mental modifications, and eventually realise that ‘I’ and ‘me’ are nothing but thoughts. Realisation of this leads to perfect freedom.

How does energy (comprising the mind) become violent? When you see violence (springing in the mind), throw it out. Only then there will be no more violence.

Lord Vishnu carries several items, which indicate: Shankam [conch shell] this is Om, the symbol of Brahman. Out of this was created the whole world. Padma is the lotus flower. It indicates, ‘I am love.’ Chakra: ‘With this I cut your karma asunder,’ says Lord Vishnu. Gada: ‘To make you pay for your karma I use Shiva, the gada,’ says Lord Vishnu. So be aware.

Desire itself does the action. Work itself happens. Do not think ‘I do the work.’

‘I and my Father are One.’ Every reaction, every thought, word and deed separates me from Him. So surrender all to God: the fruits of your actions and yourself. Only then we are One.

When you are united in thought, word and deed, there is nothing you cannot do. Body, mind and spirit must become one to return to the Source, God. Therefore it is so necessary to have a guru. Do not worry if the guru is worthy. Are you worthy?

Even thinking of a stone as God, will take you to God.

You are only impure in thought. So purify your thought with the thought of God.

Control the mind through rhythmic breathing.

Meditation controls the mind, calms the mind. This leads to the control of anger, to the control of the sex organs. Practise deep rhythmic breathing. Offer the breath to God by using the guru mantra.

A God-man gives all to God and lives on nothing for himself.
