Listen Dharmashakti

Swami Satyananda Saraswati

While bathing, washing clothes, dusting the room, tidying up the place, while sleeping, day or night, this feeling of being close to the ishta is essential. He is not only in the picture or in the altar room; he eats in the kitchen, sits on the chair, lies on the bed and bathes in the bathroom. The feeling to cultivate is, “My God is not lifeless, He is a living God.” Along with this feeling, always remember the truth “My ishta is within me” and also have the faith that ‘He will manifest in me.’

By going for satsangs, the noise within should be over powered by His noise so that the noise outside does not even reach you. This means that keeping the mind constantly introverted in satsang is the path to perfection. What will you do by reading too many scriptures now? The entirety of knowledge is buried within. Who will awaken it, manifest it? Awaken it and all the scriptures will manifest on their own. You can create new scriptures.

I am writing all this to you today because the new year is approaching. You have to be initiated into a new life, change yourself completely. You have to awaken the formidable mental energies within you, awaken your self-confidence, so that the thoughts of your mind become the means of benefiting others, only then will you be able to help others.

Listen Dharmashakti, whatever is happening is happening by the will of God. You have risen above human desires. Dharmashakti, you have changed your direction, your mind. It is not your need, but the country needs it. That child is the demand of this age. You are only a medium, a carrier of load. He will belong to society, to the country, to the nation. Please understand, Dharmashakti, that the one whom you are nurturing with your blood is a flower that will fill the whole world with its fragrance.
