Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 BHAGAVAN says: On Youth: Youth is like a sweet fruit. The fruit of your heart (hyudaya phala), and the fruit of your mind (mano phala) must be offered to GOD. It is difficult to think of GOD in your old age when you have lost control over the senses. Start early, drive slowly, and reach safely. You should start praying to GOD right from this tender (early, immature) age. If you do not start praying now when your body is strong, when you are mentally alert and when your capacity for spirituality is at its peak, when is a better time? Right at this time when you are physically strong, your senses are under control; when your mind is full of faith offer the flower of your heart (hrudaya pushpam) to the lord. This is the proper offering to the GOD. But you do not make such an offering! You indulge (yield freely to a desire) your senses, you spend all your time enjoying with all the senses. The balance of life that is left over which you no longer relish (great liking or enjoyment) is offered to GOD. You offer to Krishna the flower petals that have blown away by the wind! When all the senses have lost their strength, their capacity and their ability, what is it that being offered to GOD? You have to serve GOD when you are at a peak – physically strong, when the senses are strong (indriya sakthi), the mind is stable (mano sakthi), the discrimination ( unfavorable treatment) is clear (buddhi sakthi) and you are full with wisdom ( jnana sakthi). If you do not surrender to GOD, at this right time when will you? START PRACTISING DHARMA WHEN: 1. The senses are strong : Indriya sakthi 2. The mind is stable : Mano sakthi 3. The intellect is clear : Buddhi sakthi 4. The heart is full of wisdom : Jnana sakthi "PRACTICE MAKES YOU PERFECT" Sairam with love.............. Cheese............................. Raju.
