Golden quotes

Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj

• Knowledge is destroyed by associating with the base; with equals equality is gained, and with the distinguished, distinction.

• Dost thou desire that thine own heart should not suffer, redeem thou the sufferer from the bonds of misery.

• To friends and eke to foes true kindness show;

            No Kindly heart unkindly deeds will do;
            Harshness will alienate a bosom friend.
            And kindness reconcile a deadly foe.

• There is no greater grief in misery than to turn our thoughts back to happier times.

          O Memory! thou fond deceiver,
          Still importunate and vain;
          To former joys recurring ever,
          And turning all the past to pain.

GOD LIVES IN EACH AND EVERY LIVING BEING

God lives within each and every being, God says "If you wish to become a devotee then practice seeing God in each and every person, do not speak harshly to anyone, do not make him/her unhappy". Scriptures say that there is no greater sin than hurting someone else's feelings. Speak little, speak sweetly and increase your tolerance, increase your humility increase your sweetness. When you do this then the sadhana that you are doing; the devotion that you are practicing, will be saved up, it will not be destroyed.

DIVINE ASSOCIATION (SATSANG) AND MATERIAL ASSOCIATION(KUSANG)

There are only two areas in the world. One is divine,satya and the other is material,asatya. God and his saints who are beyond maya alone are 'satya'. Association with them through the complete involvement of the mind and intellect is referred to as 'satsanga', 'divine association'. Anything or anyone else apart from this naturally comes under the three modes of maya- 'tamasa','rajasa' and 'sattva'. Therefore, association with this area is referred to as 'kusanga','material association'. In short, whatever leads to the attachment of the mind and intellect to the divine is "satsanga",apart from this,everything else is "kusanga" or 'wrong association'.
