Divine AdviceOn 13th March 1995, Bhagawan called the IInd year undergraduate students. It was Bhagawan who asked the first few questions. He gave the answers too.Importance of Education : Many boys study only to empty their heads in the examination. This is like Polaroid camera. But in the other type of camera, you can get negatives. Your studies ahould be like that. Whatever you study should be imprinted in your mind. Whenever you need, you should be able to use it.Memory Power : Don't think too much. It may cause a decline in memory power. You should have purity, patience and perseverance. Wastage

of energydiminishes memory power.Examinations : You should welcome tests. Everything in life is a test. Test gives you rest and rest is the taste of God.Writing : You read at home but write in examination hall. This is not good. You should practice writing the answers too.Manana : You must read two pages at a time and think over what you have read. When you read twenty pages at a stretch, it is like a Polaroid camera. When you read two pages at a time, it will be like a photo negative;whenever you want, you can take copies out of it. When you study this

way, the pustaka (book) and your mastaka (head) become one and the same.Sleep : It is not right to study all through the night. It will diminish your memory power. Boys need 7 to 8 hours sleep. Go to bed early. Think of what you studied, till you get sleep. This is manana. Get up early - at 4:30a.m. But do not sleep during daytime. Also, don't rush to the Institute immediately after lunch. Sit on a chair, close your eyes and take rest for five minutes.Anxiety : When you get deep into work, you get enthusiasm, not anxiety. So, get involved in your work.But.... - When you have no interest, don't sit in front of the book. Go for a short walk. Sing Bhajans. Come back with enthusiasm and interest.

Then study.What else... - Faith in yourself and faith in God, this is the secret of success. Taken From : SAINANDANA by Swami's students

Dear Mahadevan,

Ramanujan the great Indian Mathematician who

spent time in Cambridge University with Godfrey Hardy was once visited

by Hardy in a London nursing home. Hardy started chatting with him about the

number of the taxi that he'd come in. "It was 1729," Hardy said. " It seemed

to me rather a dull number.To which Ramanujan protested."No,Hardy, no Hardy.It

is a very interesting number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two

different ways."

1729= (12x12x12) + (1x1x1) as well

as

1729= (9x9x9) + (10x10x10)

I learnt that every thing is beautiful if only we

learnt to be aware that Divinity pervades everything no matter how minute it

is."Like the current that makes all the bulbs

shine, the Atma present in all human beings makes them see, hear and work. But

today man is caught in worldly affairs and is ignoring spirituality. If you

have spiritual vision, you will know that it is the same God who is present

everywhere. Everything from earth to sky is nothing but God. Even this flower,

this tumbler, this microphone and the tablecloth that you see here are all

aspects of divinity. Divinity pervades each and everything in this universe.

But you see differences due to your faulty vision. "

Swami's discourse on 14th April

2006 in Sai Sruthi, Kodaikanal.
