does not believe in himself. The old religions said that he was an

Divine discontent
Saint of India

No comments
We must rouse a tremendous divine discontent, the discontent the mystics of all ages speak of. Unless we are able to rouse in the soul this divine discontent which can destroy all our attachments to worldly things and desires, we will not be able to get real yearning for spiritual realization. There can never be any real peace in the world, though we must play our part in it as best we can. There...
The power of reality
Saint of India

It is often very difficult to have
yearning for God in the beginning, and the reason is that God does not
seem a reality to us. With most of us this body is our soul, and it is
for the enjoyment of this body on the material plane-it need not
necessarily be a very gross form of enjoyment-that we are most anxious.
Religion to most of us is something highly amateurish and a kind of
fashion, just...

We all have an opportunity to follow
saner and better ways, but we cling to our particular toys and do not
let go our hold. So we have to suffer, and we suffer until we learn the
great lesson life teaches us again and again, in innumerable ways, and
come to act wisely. Just as most people try to achieve their worldly
ambitions and ideals, we should strive for spiritual life and
illumination,...
No lasting satisfaction in the world
Saint of India

No comments
Very often when we get a thing, we find that we never really wanted it. We may have been seeking it, but when we get it we may actually find that the desire has vanished, and some other desire has taken its place. Many people mistake the true nature of their yearnings and giver them worldly direction, whereas in reality no human yearning can ever find satisfaction in anything that is not permanent...

In the field of religion also there is a
kind of aristocracy. The great saints and sages, the illumined souls in
all religions, Form a class by themselves. But unlike worldly
aristocrats, these spiritual aristocrats are always witting to share

they themselves enjoy. But the pity is few people care for the great

Although the notion of spirituality is
shrouded in abysmal mystery, a good section of the society the word over

absolute control over the physical beings. All things, they believe,
that happen to living beings during their worldly existence are by the
will of someone with superhuman powers. Further, they consider that

Vandana, he/she will certainly get the pure bliss of Sri Bhagavan

The man who has lived most, it is not he who has counted his greatest number of years, but he is, who has most thoroughly felt life.In this topic I would like to give some reflections on education.
