The Right Balance

 

Own money, but do not let the money own you.

Eat food, but do not allow the food to eat you.

Drink if you wish, but do not let the drink gulp you.

Smoke if you like, but do not let the cigarette swallow you.

Angry you can be, but let not the anger burn you away.

 

Sanyasa

 

Sanyasa means sacrifice, and to live in a spirit of sacrifice after

renouncing completely one's ego and its desires is true sanyasa.

 

Drop the Ego

 

Turn your gaze towards the Light within. If you cannot all of a sudden

do so, then do the easier act of self-surrender. The taller you stand,

the longer will your shadow be. Bend double, the shadow is half. Sit

down, the shadow is still smaller. Fall flat at His Lotus Feet in love

and surrender, and the shadow is no more. Detach the mind from

memories and hopes. Desirelessness is the state of perfection.

Egolessness is the state of Godhood. Attain that supreme goal of life

through knowledge and right living.
