Spirituality Tweets
Maharaj Charan Singh gave his disciples a wealth of wonderful advice. The following ‘tweets’ are taken from Words Eternal, a compilation of some of his sayings contained in discourses and in letters to satsangis and seekers.
Without divine grace Satguru cannot be contacted. Without Satguru Nam cannot be obtained. Without Nam there can be no salvation. Such is the essence of the path of the Masters.
***
The doctrine of karma is not against making any effort, but teaches us to be content when our efforts fail.
***
Satguru is within you and is always ready to help you. Nothing gives the Master more pleasure than a disciple coming up to Him and contacting Him within.
***
The mere fact that God in his mercy has selected us to be put on the path should make us very happy. If it does not, it is due to the fact that we do not realize the great blessing and privilege involved in it.
***
Pray to God to grant you courage and strength to overcome the weakness that you find in yourself. His mercy and grace are unlimited and we should never be disappointed in this respect. God is your Father and you are his child. Try to approach him in that light.
***
In this world we accept a reflection for real, a counterfeit for genuine, a piece of glass for a diamond.
***
Nam is the greatest of gifts with which the Supreme Lord has endowed us. It is the one gate He has provided for us to get out of the wheel of births and deaths.
***
Do not worry unnecessarily about your failings. Forget the past, live and meditate in the present, and do not worry about the future.
***
As to intellect, God gave it to us simply to carry on our worldly work. Beyond that our wisdom does not help. God wants us to rise above cold reason on the wings of love for him and see him with the eye of the soul.
***
Love lies within you and is the outcome of meditation. The more effort you make on the path,the more the inner love is developed.
***
It is true that slow and steady wins the race. How many times do we stumble and fall when we learn to walk. But as we grow older we forget the struggles and enjoy the performance. So it is with spiritual work.
***
The Lord loves to meet us even more than we can possibly long to meet him. It is he who creates the desire in our hearts to meet Him.
***
Love, like fire, needs regular fuel. Your love for the Master must be sustained by regular meditation and devotion.
***
Shabd is the only real, everlasting and unfailing friend and this we should try to cultivate. Shabd never deserts, nor does the Master.
