Ved Vani

* The events of life flow down the stream that took its course at your birth (Prarabdha). Accept them without regret, take heed not to force the hand of Fate.

* Do the duties of life as penance, leaving the rest to the Guide - who will protect you from all the imbalance of prosperity and adversity.

* Live consciously in God with according ableness. The events come owing to the urges that initiated this life; meet them with resignation to the Guide, do your bit to the best of your ability, but give away neither to elation nor to depression.

* Man can have no control over the events of life till he shall have completely paid all his dues brought forward from the previous life.

* The word 'Samsara' means the world of becomings that obscures and eclipses Being, and consists of joys and sorrows that appear on the surface of the mind (only to disappear).

* Do not distress yourself : whatever God does must necessarily contribute to your good.

* He that adores the Lord with single-minded devotion does verily make a clean sweep of all the accumulated debris of life.

* Marriage, birth and death are all fated events, Fate being the arbiter in respect of each and every item of one's position in life. The time and the shape of things to be are all predetermined. Be in all circumstances vigilant with a view to submitting yourself to the God of Truth Who gives all the awards through the mechanism of Destiny that does never fail.

* The heart burns night and day in the fire of the faggot of desire. Have trust in God. All that rise and set are unreal. Know what is real and what unreal and you shall have done with your delusion.

* God and His Name are one - not different. To live by the Name is to abide in God. By uninterrupted abidance therein one is able to cross the bounds of dualistic knowledge and attain Peace and bliss.

* It is egoism in man that splits the unity of Being into kinsmen and strangers. In truth, no body in the world is other than your Self.

* No body can escape the consequences of his actions as determined by Fate, which should therefore be accepted as a matter of course. A man reaps as he has sown.

* Adore the God of Truth. He will always sustain and protect you. As fate wills it so are people encumbered by the experiences of life, which now give satisfaction, now discontent.

* Don't worry. Always try to live in submission to God. The world is a delusion which disappears as soon as the destined time series terminates. It is wrong to distress yourself over what fate has in store for you.

* Always bear with what fate offers you in the right spirit. So will you have God's mercy.

* Be content with your portion in life as meted out by Nature. Thiswise can you release yourself from destiny and attain eternal Truth.

* If you want to serve the God of Truth you should do so by living in submission to Him, bearing patiently with the forces of the natural instincts which rule creaturely existence with delusive egoism and cognate effects.

* In the three worlds that be, there is none but Truth that is your very own, Truth which is Providence as well as Dispensation.

* Man is bound by the ties not of wedlock but of cravings. Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and the other Gods lived a married life. As the Elders say, as you have sown so do you reap.

* All maladies are curved if you constantly recite the Holy Name with absolute trust in Him.

* This world of Ignorance revolve on the wheels of Time. No one can interface with its course.

* Everyman would teach others; few can teach themselves.

* Always recite the Name ; to do so is single minded devotion. The acquired dispositions become a spent force only through patience : everything in its time. The Name alone is Truth ; naught else but the Name endures in this world.

* Fate is the arbiter for all and duly gives unto each what falls due to him. It is no good giving thought to that. None can escape the concatination of the destined events of his life.

* People are subject to birth and death owing to their allegiance to Appearance and cannot get release therefrom except by being devoted to Reality. But then Fate bears fruit everywhere.

* All people are ruled in this world by Destiny. Whatever Fate offers you at whatever hours, must needs be to your good.

* Marriage takes place just when it must, according to the decree of Providence, which cannot be interfered with.

* If you keep doing your immediate duties here on earth with surrender to God and goodwill to all, He will forever be looking to your good by removing all your wants and granting you absolute repose in Him.

* Accept the predestined portion of your life with cheerfulness.

* Fate alone, and nothing else, is responsible for all that befalls you. In this human predicament patience is your only friend.

* The world is like a dream where people are embogged by their illusory ego-sense, and wherefrom they are saved by single-minded devotion to the Lord.

* If you act with resignation to God, the forces of destiny will go over your head.

* Man looks before and after owing to having been enmeshed in the net of egoistic becomings.

* Always recite the Holy Name : the Name, alone, will remove all your wants and make your mind still.

* Do what you would with calm conviction. Indecision leads you nowhere. Stick to one thing, whatever be your choice.

* Find fault with none, be angry with none. Be always alive to your duty of serving the Lord. The servants of the Lord are always free.

* The world is a magic show, run by the cosmic forces which admit of no individual freedom of action.

* This world of Ignorance revolves on the wheels of Time. No one can interfere with its course.

* Do not worry over God's dispensations. Truth alone is the ultimate Goal. Forsake It not, but exert yourself always to follow Its course.

* Patience is a priceless possession. Exert yourself always to nourish it.
