The Most Important Task In Life
Sant Mat Quote of the Day:
{"The affairs of the world will go on forever.
Do not delay the practice of meditation." -- Milarepa}
Truthful Living is Higher Still: From, The Treasure of Spiritual Peace: "Generally, devotees applaud the teachings imparted by a Satguru and become ecstatic over these but do not adopt them in practical life. Hence they meet failure everywhere.... Meditation upon the Lord's Divine Name is the most important task in life. All other tasks done amount to nothing."
Sectarianism is not Spirituality: From, The Treasure of Spiritual Peace: "One who has fought and conquered his own mind is the greatest warrior. Even the name of those is hardly remembered at whose threshold many used to bow low. Do not be deluded by momentary honour or position. Yesterday this prestige, prowess and position belonged to someone: today another claims it, and tomorrow it shall belong to someone else. But, be sure, the claim of each is untrue and unstable. They have been deluded the false attainment. One's own eternal possession is only the Lord's Pure Love.... Meditation upon the Lord's Divine Name is the most important task in life. All other tasks done amount to nothing."
A True Teacher and Guide: From, The Treasure of Spiritual Peace: "The false guru gives sweet words seeking popularity, but the Satguru bestows Wisdom, seeking disciples, devotees of the Lord. If you love someone dearly, guide him again and again, to tread the path of Truth..... Meditation upon the Lord's Divine Name is the most important task in life. All other tasks amount to nothing."
Meditate: Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj: "We sit in meditation, fail to concentrate, and get upset or fed up. A pessimistic thinking sets in as to whether or not 'I would be able to do it.' No, we should not get nervous, or anxious, nor should we nurture any doubts in our minds. We must go on trying, with persistence and perseverance."
Meditate: Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj: "Whatever amount is possible, do meditation everyday. Never ever give up or discontinue meditation. You will definitely meet with success......All of you please keep on practicing meditation regularly, everyday. Gurudev will bestow you with success."
Giving Life Meaning: "Ponds, rains, trees, and Saints -- all these four give meaning to their existence by helping others. A pond is meant to quench the thirst of living beings. The rains cause crops to grow and fills the world with greeneries. A tree gives cool shade, fruit, and wood. A Saint gives meaning to the lives of others by imparting True Knowledge to them." (The Saakhi Granth of Guru Kabir)
Love Wisdom: "Through Association with Saints, the hearing of spiritual talks and study, Wisdom can be acquired. Wisdom is essential in determining what is the right way to live your life." -- Maharshi Mehi Paramahansa Ji Maharaj
