Spiritual Tidbits

by Sri Ramen Basu

This morning a friend of mine from US has mailed me an article by Tim Roberts on gratitude. It is about a person who is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. All of a sudden his heart’s door opened, and he felt gratitude towards every living being around him.

Similarly one never knows how grace manifests in life. Those who for once come in contact with Sri Sri Babathakur are automatically and spontaneously blessed.

Those who were not privileged with His physical presence, will find His articles, books, and discourses to be of equal value. He says He is not the gross body but the indivisible Absolute –Ahamdeva, the I of all I’s. Just have faith in Sadguru’s words and plunge deep into your own heart.  

I am recollecting some advices given in general to all during His evening discourses at Fern Road in the year 1995.  May these help you on your spiritual path:

1.      Be calm and steady

2.      Be unattached and alone

3.      Do not intermingle socially very much

4.      Be careful not to indulge in the pair of opposites too much i.e. duality

5.      Pure Consciousness is non-dual One

6.      Get rid of your old habits of desirous thoughts and behaviour.

7.      Please focus your mind on the discourses and books published here.

8.      You will reach me through My words.

9.      Just get immersed in My words.

1.      If one cannot spiritually discriminate between the Self and non-Self, unconditional surrender is needed.

      The glory of Sri Sri Babathakur is unbounded; we cannot but sing or utter His words.

May the lives of all readers get inspired by His words – with this prayer, this article is submitted at His lotus feet.
