If you have God, you have everything

Everything

The teaching of the Masters is:

"If you want God, shun ruthlessly all powers, all occult phenomena, as poison. If you want God, do not want anything else but God. For if you have God, you have everything."

Take it from me: If you have God, you have everything.

-Swami Chidananda.


 

Ayurvedic solutions to eye problems

March 3, 2010 02:20 by anisha

Ancient ayurvedic healers identified dozens of causes that can bring eyes to grief. Among them were:

  • Misuse of the eyes-straining too much, concentrating too hard on minute objects, or looking too far in the distance constantly.
  • Injury.
  • Excessive anger, jealousy, or negative feelings. (Echoing the thought that the eyes mirror the soul).
  • Suppression of natural urges like hunger, thirst, sleep, and the need to cry.
  • Suppression or neglect of sleep. Also, changes in one's regular sleep/wake routine.Therefore, ayurveda has a different way of looking at eye problems. It sees them as the result of disturbed dosha-balance.

"Life is exquisitely perfect the way it drives people in their evolution."

  ~Swami Rama

This makes a lot of sense in retrospect. The present may seem chaotic but it is still a journey towards improvement and evolution, always…:-)

Know the One who runs the whole world – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

March 2, 2010 00:47 by anisha

You should have a desire to experience the something by which the whole world is running.

To experience this through your prayers, there should be total involvement. If the mind is preoccupied elsewhere, then that is no prayer at all.

Insecurity…

February 27, 2010 02:39 by nitin

Never turn to a master for security for that is one thing he will never give you. He throws you upon the utter insecurity of life because those who have nothing else find God.

~ Paramhansa Nithyananda


 

Krishna bhajan, Darshan do ghanshyam, Narsi Mehta

February 25, 2010 07:52 by anisha

A beautiful Krishna bhajan from movie Narsi Bhagat (1957), sung by Hemant Kumar, Sudha Malhotra and Manna Dey. Music is by Ravi.

Narsi Mehta’s favourite raga was Kedar, which he used to communicate with Krishna.

Lyrics

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

मन मंदिर की ज्योति जगा दो घट घट वासी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

मंदिर मंदिर मूरत तेरी

फिर भी ना दीखे सूरत तेरी

युग बीते, ना आई मिलन की पूरनमासी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

द्वार दया का जब तू खोले

पंचम स्वर में गूंगा बोले

अंधा देखे, लंगड़ा चल कर पंहुचे काशी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

पानी पी कर प्यास बुझाऊं

नैनों को कैसे समझाऊं

आंख मिचौली छोड़ो अब तो

मन के वासी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे
