Jaya Guru Datta Sri Appaji_/\_!!
Jaya Guru Datta!! _/\_!!
Shivaya gurave namaha.
Appaji’s quotes:
-Purity of place, time, body, mind and materials is a must.
-Food and water strengthen the body. Good words strengthen the mind.
one-pointed devotion to the chosen ideal where in mind doesn’t go to anything else is “Ananya Bhakti”
-You feel your oneness with others, beyond your own genetic limitation. That is how this ego becomes purified. The mind becomes purified by that expansion. The little narrow attitude goes away.
-The mind that is filled with doubts and suspicions robs you of peace.
-The inner light shining constantly reveals itself through the mirror called the mind.
-Develop a mind that treats blame and praise with equanimity as you go through life.
-Don’t become slave to your mind’s unreasonable demands.
-The mind is everything what you think you become.
-Selfishness and pride make you small-minded.
-Nadopasana & Shabdo-pasana washes the mind of fears and evil thoughts and fill the mind with peace and tranquillity.
Some pertinent quotes:
-Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.-Eleanor Roosevelt
-The mind of man is capable of anything-because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future.-Joseph Conrad.
Appaji, You give us experiences while protecting us through Your omnipresence. These experiences give us perspectives of the world around us and broaden our mind. We become more cognizant, understanding, & tolerant of other being around us. We become more loving. Love expands our mind, while hate shrinks it. Appaji, a.k.a. God, among many things, is love. So it follows that to expand our minds, we simply need to fill our minds with everything Appaji. Pujya HH has given us more ways than we can ask for to achieve this deluge. Appaji, thanks with infinite gratitude.
“As long we live,let us live a life of happiness and joy
which is possible through contentment only.
Cause of all our worries is the garbage accumulation in our mind.
Discard the garbage! You will be happy again.”SGS
What an expansively lovely MMS!! Sri Guru Datta!!
