Talks Excerpt 358. Swamiji says: God must manifest. He does not want his children to suffer too much.

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

Sleep on the left after eating. This aids fast digestion and clears the right nostril.

Exhalation must be from the bottom to the top.

When are we going to wake up? When, when, when?

Keep the spiritual fires stoked. When they get low, go to the holy ones. If you are holy, you will find many holy men.

When I see you, I see my Self within you.

Give the Guru all, surrender to him, the good and the bad. He takes all.

You run from the suffering in the world and you come here to seek bliss. Ha ha! Find bliss in your heart.

When are we going to stand naked in front of God? When? This is the meaning of renunciation.

The guru is ever loving, he will never forsake you. He has already waited millennia for you. Ask for his hand to guide you.

When you experience It, all suffering becomes glory. Think of the life of Jesus the Christ.

Every experience is given to you by the Guru. Sit in a room for 3 days and think: No, not that, not the food, not the water, not sleep, not the swami. Think of everything, of all the temptations, and remember that temptation is very subtle, it also comes in the form of a sage, and so on. Say, ‘Not this, not this.’ Do it. God must manifest. He does not want his children to suffer too much.
