 09/02/2013

Saturday – Day 17

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

In life, we can only see the external covering layer (packing) which the ‘Satguru’ has assumed but are unable to see the ‘material’ that is inside him in form of ‘Paramatma’; however, the covering layer gets destroyed eventually.

-Baba Swami

Sunday – Day 18

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

‘The Soul (Atma) is Paramatma (the Supreme Soul)’ – You won’t need to search for Paramatma externally if you accept that your ‘Soul’ only is ‘Paramatma’.

-Baba Swami

Monday – Day 19

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

The message of the Bhagwad Gita is that you must entrust (the reins of) the chariot that is your ‘physical body’ into Lord Shree Krishna’s hands, that is, to your ‘soul’. But you should ‘remain absorbed in performing your work (karma)’ like Arjuna (his charioteer) and move forward in the battlefield that is your life.

-Baba Swami

Tuesday – Day 20

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

Satguru is that medium of Paramatma through which the souls of hundreds of thousands of sadhaks take birth. The ‘Satguru’ is the ‘Mother’ of these souls; and no one can gratify the Mother (Satguru) of these sadhak children by maligning them.  Everyone must remember this unfailingly!

– Baba Swami

13/02/13

Wednesday – Day 21

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

My relatives look at what I have ‘lost’,

Sadhaks perceive what I have ‘gained’,

I observe what I ‘was.’

– Baba Swami

 14/02/13

Thursday – Day 22

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

There are only two places of ‘faith’ in my life –

one is Shivbaba, the ‘seed’ of the Banyan Tree that is Samarpan;

and the other is my wife,

the ‘gardener’ without whose nurturing the seed would not have sprouted at all.

– Baba Swami

15/02/13

Friday – Day 23

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

When you draw a longer line of ‘soul feeling‘in front of the line of ‘body feelings’,

all the ‘questions of life’  [mind, heart, ego, envy, guilt, anger]

All go far from you.

Become a pure and holy soul.

– Baba Swami

16/02/13

Saturday – Day 24

OM

**MESSAGE OF TRUTH**

Our physical body is a ‘lump’ of wet clay which takes shape according to our ‘thoughts’ (vichaar) and ‘defects’ (vikaar).

The Consciousness of Paramatma is all around us in the form of nature. Both thoughts and defects don’t exist in nature. However, the more thoughts and defects we create in ourselves, the further we move away from Paramatma.

– Baba Swami
