TOPIC FOR THE WEEK – Swamiji’s 25^th to 31^st Messages of Truth

 17/02/2013

Sunday – Day 25

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

To believe in Paramatma is a ‘pure state’ in human beings. It makes no difference who you accept as Paramatma. The very fact that you believe in His existence indicates that there is such a place where you are bowing; and the fact that you are bowing before it, is an indication that you are reducing your ‘ego’ and ‘defects’. You should always bow with feeling and ‘Samarpan’ and not with expectations or out of fear. That’s all you have to remember!

-Baba Swami

Monday – Day 26

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

“I am a Holy Soul, I am a Pure Soul” When you chant this mantra regularly, on the one hand, the bad deeds (karma) of your previous birth are destroyed; on the other hand, the mantra maintains control over your physical body, and prevents fresh bad deeds (karma) from happening and increases your inner-soul feeling.

-Baba Swami

Tuesday – Day 27

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

Everyone studies Mathematics, but everyone cannot pass successfully in the subject; and all those who pass in Mathematics cannot necessarily become Teachers of the subject. Similarly, very few people desire Liberation (Moksha), but all the people who wish for it are not able to attain Liberation; and all those who are able to attain it, cannot bestow Liberation on other people. Only authorised mediums are able to bestow it, and they are known as ‘Satgurus’; and they are able to bestow it because they have taken birth only for that purpose. Generally, they are able to act as ‘mediums’ only in their last birth.

-Baba Swami

Wednesday – Day 28

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

Stop striving to be successful when you are repeatedly unsuccessful in life, because one who carries the burden of self- disgust and guilt can never succeed in life. Firstly, rid yourself of the force that constantly makes you fall, and then remain steady wherever you are placed; then begin your ascent and success will lie at your feet!

– Baba Swami

Thursday – Day 29

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

Ego’ (sense of ‘I’) and ‘Paramatma’ (He) are like two different swords that can never co-exist in the single sheath that is man’s physical body.

– Baba Swami

Friday – Day 30

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

It is the one who walks that falls; one who is seated never falls. One who performs Guru-karya may commit some mistake unknowingly; no sadhak will commit any mistake knowingly. I have ‘full faith’ in this!

I will never accept criticism of any sadhak who performs Guru-karya, because I believe that it is very easy to ‘criticise’, but very difficult to perform karya.

Therefore, I will be happier if you come to meet me only with ‘positive well perceived’ proposals, and not with proposals that are derogatory in nature,

Your,

Baba Swami

Note: What I have said is specifically meant for you, and not for someone else!

Saturday – Day 31

OM

**MESSAGES OF TRUTH**

In the living Satguru’s proximity, our chitta should remain only on the ‘Satguru’ and not on any other ‘atmosphere’ or ‘situations’ (around us), because when bad atmosphere is created in the society, a ‘medium’ (Satguru) is also (specially) created in order to balance society. Similarly, it is ‘muck and slime’ that become the motive for the blooming of the ‘lotus flower’.

– Baba Swami
