Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 February 7 It is all right to enjoy life; the secret of happiness is not to become attached to anything. Enjoy the smell of the flower, but see God in it. I have kept the consciousness of the senses only that in using them I may always perceive and think of God. " Mine eyes were made to behold Thy beauty everywhere. My ears were made to hear Thine omnipresent voice. " That is Yoga, union with God. It is not necessary to go to the forest to find Him. Worldly habits will hole us fast wherever we may be until we free ourselves from them. The yogi learns to find God in the cave of his heart. Wherever he goes, he carries with him the blissful consciousness of God's presence. Sri Sri PY, MEQ February 8 What I could not understand was why everything must go; why things that were right, that were mine, that harmed no one, why all the dear little rights and privileges must be taken from me. But they were so taken by God. He was thrusting me out of a life of dependence upon small comforts into one that should be lived for Him alone. Sri Gyanamata, " God Alone: The Life and Letters of a Saint " (GA) February 9 Renunciation is not negative but positive. It is not the giving up of anything except misery. One should not think of renunciation as a path of sacrifice. Rather it is a divine investment, by which our few paise of self-discipline will yield a million spiritual rupees. Is it not wisdom to spend the golden coins of our fleeting days to purchase Eternity? Sri Sri PY, SPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
