This world consists of many religions but they all are 'Relative' in nature. Relative because there one practices & practicing religion is an act of doing. Who is the one practicing religion? The one who is bearer of the name e.g. 'I am David, My name is David. I practice this religion'. The foundation of all these are beliefs. Wherever there is support of any kind be it from mind or speech or body and belief of 'I am David' are all 'Relative' religions. And if one follo...

Only an enlightened being who has passed through all the layers of mind & intellect, who has come into the light of knowledge, can unfold the facts of this world. Acts done by body are all external mechanism whereas the thoughts that arise, chit (subtle component of vision & knowledge) that wanders, decision that intellect takes, signing by ego is all internal mechanism. When one becomes separate from this external & internal mechanism and comes into the state of enlight...

In this era of time cycle who hasn't experienced loss of money? When money comes one enjoys but when money leaves it causes suffering. Money is a by-product whereas Soul is main product. Money comes when merit karmas unfold & leaves when merit karmas come to an end. Night comes after day & vice-versa. But doesn't waiting for night to end, make it longer instead? Similar is the case with money. When one faces a low phase financially, one should increase Satsang. Sooner or...

Big ascetics & priests say that the mind wanders; it is the reason for worldly wandering; steady the mind; if one controls the mind then everything will be sorted. But in reality mind is not at fault. Chit (subtle component of vision and knowledge in the inner functioning instrument called antahkaran) has become impure & it is the Chit that keeps on wandering. Mind cannot go out of the body. Whereas Chit wanders inside as well as outside the body. As long as Chit is impu...

Principles are of great importance in spirituality. In worldly science 2H+O=H2O which is water, if we increase or decrease 1 atom of hydrogen or oxygen then it won't form water. This is a principle which is non-contradictory & unchangeable. Similarly, circumstances of this world generate & disintegrate through coming together & separation of elements of soul, non-self & other eternal elements. This talk is also based on principle. Now if a scientist separates hydrogen & ...

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says in just one sentence, “This world has arisen because of words. When words will stop, world will automatically stop.” Only 1 bad word of ours can cause fight & at the same time 1 sweet word can also stop the fight. “You don't understand the other person, you have no brains.” One should refrain from using such words as it binds karmas that brings veil on knowledge. Even if we happen to speak badly we should cover it up with sweet words. If we ...

When people have money in abundance they are unable to enjoy it. To attain more & more money they keep on wandering between their home & office. At last, they leave this world leaving all their wealth behind. Real need is of money or air? One dies without air but people do survive without money, don't they? Healthy body enables one to have sound sleep. Similarly money comes when mind is healthy. Right intellect arises when one learns to give money to others. Giving away ...
