SURRENDER YOU MUST

In the forest of the world
-----When you get tired and weary
Don’t lose heart but
-----Remember Sri Hari.

In the desert of the world
-----If no one agrees to carry
Don’t lose heart
-----Remember Sri Hari.

This World is a garden
-----The master is Sri Hari
He always carries along
-----Those who surrender to Hari.(The Lord Vishnu)

Food and what?

Control your tongue

Eating through the mouth

But remember always

Feed your mind
-----With ideas good
Make the mind pure
-----And attain sainthood.

Student of AGONY

Now I know
-----It was my mistake
Why should I blame
-----God or my fate

I have a degree
-----Without any knowledge
Nobody loves me,
-----Everyone hates
I spent my days
-----In the college premises
Never learnt anything,
-----It is a shame.

Spent my time
-----Watching movies and games
Wasted my life
-----Without any again

Now I regret
-----Entertainment is vain
Who will sympathize
-----With my agony and pain?

============================Swami Srikantananda

We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.___Swami ivekananda

DIVINE STRENGTH

Never be over-confident
About your strength.
Human strength is not
Enough to break
This terrible bondage called world.
Take the help of God, an Embodiment of divine strength,
And you are safe.

This world is ever ready
To pounce upon you like a
Tiger. Ready to drag you
And to kill you. But this
Animal called world cannot
Touch you if you keep constant
Company of God.
Whenever you sense any danger
To your spiritual life, rush to God
Like a child who runs to the mother.
Say to Yourself,
‘I am a child of God.
God, like a compassionate mother
Is protecting us all the time.
How can I be tempted by these
Petty things of this world,
When the kingdom
Of God is at my disposal?

Worshippers of Truth

Worshippers of flesh
-----Weep and cry;
Again, and again
-----Take birth and die;
Worshippers of God
-----Smile with joy;
Leave this world
-----To reach the eternal sky.

Days will pass, time will fly
-----Many will come, many will die
The brave will succeed
-----The weak will cry
Grow strong wings
-----And learn to fly.

-----------------------------------Swami Srikantananda

Power of Love

Force creates friction
-----Friction generates heat
Head creates fire
-----Which destroys everything.
Love creates bonds
-----Keeps everyone tight
Conquest through love
-----Is better than a fight.

He who loves his enemy
-----Is a religious person;
He who serves his enemy
-----Is a spiritual person;
He who does not have an enemy
-----Is an enlightened person.


=================================Swami Srikantananda

Be Free

The soul is ever free
Therefore, struggle for freedom is
But natural for everybody.
There is something wrong with
Those who don’t struggle.
It is an abnormal state of mind.
It is sheer ignorance.
Let us feel pity for them.

Every goal other than freedom
Will lead to dissatisfaction
Because all other goals are only
Efforts to curtail that freedom
Which is the only goal.
