True Path by Shri Guru Nanak!

The true path is, that while living in this world, we should not do evil deeds. The worldly passions should not attract us. The true discipleship is that the mind should not think of evil. The body should not go after passions. The mind should be turned towards the Lord. We should, all the time, recite the Lord's name and love the Lord. By recitation of Name, the mind will get elevation and ecstasy. Then, you drink the Lord's nectar. The mind will remain immersed in the love of the Lord and in blossom. While sitting, standing, walking, one should remember the Lord at all times and live in His presence.

The shell that you blow and the sound that comes, is not mystic music. The mystic music is that which you listen without blowing the shell, which you can listen only when you meet the Lord. Then, you need not hide yourself in forests and mountains but live in this world but with mind detached. When your mind is attached to the Lord, then, automatically it is detached from the worldly desires. The real thing is that one should be immersed in the love of the Lord.

Significance of Navratri: Why is Navratri Celebrated?

'Navratri' means 'nine nights.' 'Nava' means 'nine,’ and 'Ratri' means 'night.'

Night provides rest and rejuvenation. During the night, you turn inwards through sleep, and you wake up feeling refreshed and rested in the morning. In the same way, Navratri or the ‘nine nights’ is that time of the year when you get the chance to experience deep rest. This deep rest brings freedom from all kinds of botherations, deep relaxation, and creativity.

Fasting, meditation, prayers, and other spiritual practices performed during this period help bring about this deep rest. Even refraining from over-indulging in sense objects during this time aid the process of attaining deep rest.

Our spirit: The source of deep rest
Our spirit has existed since time immemorial. It is the boundless and the eternal source of energy of this universe. During Navratri, even the subtle energies in the environment enhance and assist one’s experience of reaching the spirit.

The prayer, chanting, and meditation performed during Navratri connect us with our spirit. Getting in touch with the spirit invokes positive qualities within us and destroys laziness, pride, obsession, cravings, and aversions. When stress in the form of negative emotions is destroyed, we experience the deep rest of the transforming nine nights.

Devi Puja: Honoring the Omnipresent Energy
Devi represents the omnipresent cosmic Energy. The whole Creation is permeated by this Energy. The prosperity that we enjoy in our daily lives is a manifestation of Devi. Mother Divine serves us in so many forms. The forms of our mother, father, friends, husband, wife, son, daughter and also the Guru. The revolving planets and the moon is Devi performing aarti to us. Through puja we say, “Oh Mother, whatever you give to me I give back to you. For example, during the Puja, we offer food grains to Devi as Nature provides us with food. Devi Puja is an expression of expanded consciousness showing reverence to the whole Creation. The puja that we perform during the 9 days of Navratri is a way of honouring the Devi and showing our gratitude to the Mother Divine. While attending the puja we give up all our worldly activities for a while and enter into deep meditation.

“There is Devi energy (Shakti) within all of us. Devi is not somewhere else, not in some other world. If we sit deep in meditation, the glow within the body will brighten, and will expand and spread outside. This is Devi Puja.”

Happy Gurunanak jayanthy!
Beautiful message from the great soul!

if we invite God to take His seat in us, He will do everything necessary. He will Himself purify our hearts and take His seat there. So the only thing we have to do is to pray to Him to come to us. Nothing more. He will see to everything else. If your heart is sincere, you will feel the need for His coming and He will surely come to you. If your life is disorderly, He will see that it is set right and when He comes to you once, your life becomes blessed.

An interesting dialogue between Gurunanak and Salisraj.
Guru: Lord is here, there, everywhere.
Salis Rai: You can see the Lord everywhere, why can't we see Him?
Guru: Listen Salis Rai, the lotus and the scum both are in water. The scum is dirty. The lotus is clean and has sweetness in it that is called nectar. Both are very close to each other but the lotus is un-affected by the scum. The lotus does not become dirty despite its closeness to the scum. Then, the frog also lives in that water. It eats the scum but it does not drink the nectar from the lotus. The frog living in the water close to the lotus has no awareness of the nectar in the lotus, but the black bee comes from a distance and sucks the nectar. Meaning: The frog is so near the lotus but it has no insight of the lotus. But the black bee has the insight, so it comes from a distance and sucks the nectar.

Salis Rai: 0 Godly soul, what is the reason?
Guru: Lack of sensation (In Indian language 'Anubhav'). See, the white lotus. It opens up when the moon comes up. It has the sensation that works. It gets the sensation that the moon has come up. As your eyes have got the sensation of judging the diamonds, Mardana has the sensation of the waves of music. Similarly, those who love the Lord, get a godly sensation of the presence of the Lord within the body.

Now the Guru again said: The inner vision of the jeweler, when lie examines diamonds and the inner sensation of the singer, when he sings or listens to music, is there, but it is within the worldly frame work. But there is another vision 'the vision of the soul'. This is higher than all other visions. This is a sensation of the Lord within your body. This, you have got now. This sensation always remains in your mind. With this sensation, the mind is elevated. It rises above this visible world and goes into wondrousness. The body soul meets the Supreme soul. It crosses all barriers and gets immersed in the Supreme soul. This gives a sensation to the mind and you see the Lord inside yourself and outside everywhere. Then, one does not forget the Lord while seeing the world.

The Lord is all sacredness. Love of the Lord makes our mind pure. The Lord is all bliss. He is always happy. When we love him, then, we shall also remain happy. It cannot give despair. You consider the world as bad and you want to renounce it. When you love the Lord, you get above the world automatically. The world is renounced. We are not just the mind that only thinks we have the sensation of love in us also.
The Guru, then, made him understand that the senses have to be stopped from doing evil. The mind should not think of evil. We have to do goodness and not do evil. We should not kill the sentiment of love. We have only to deviate it towards the Lord. We have to love the Lord. We have to love Him by reciting His name, by meditating on His name silently, by singing His hymns and praises, by praying to Him and by thanking Him. In this way, the mind will become crystal. The intellectual mind will also become intuitive and strong. We have to control the senses with this strong intuitive mind. We have not to kill the sentiment of love that is in us. Only, we have to change its direction towards the Lord. When we have realized that the Lord is the all Supreme Creator, then, He is our support now. When our mind is in recitation of the Lord's name or attached to the Lord or feels the Lord as our support and this recitation or attachment or feeling of support becomes constant or incessant, then, the Lord will live with us and we will live with the Lord.

If you keep chanting mantra incessantly the mind that is wandering will become tranquil forever.

Happy Teachers day!

"It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom." – Michael Morpurgo

We can’t forget such a humble man who had devoted his entire life to promoting the value of education and also gave Indians a new sense of esteem by gracefully interpreting Indian thought in western terms.

One more thing which we can't forget about him is that when he became the President of India, he accepted only Rs 2500 out of Rs 10,000 salary and the remaining amount was donated to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund every month.
Philosophy overtook imperialism!
Dr.s. Radha Krishnan was mainly responsible for laying the foundation for unity and friendship between India and Russia. He was the first leader to meet and converse with Stalin, who hardly granted permission to individuals.
He was a despot.
During his conversation with Stalin, the erudite who was Ambassador to Russia told him the story of emperor Asoka, who becam a Buddhist monk in his later life, having got transformed drastically after the bloody Kalinga War waged by him. Further he added that like Asoka, Stalin could also change.
The tyrant smiled and said that the world had seen wonders and possibly he could taste one. The conversation went for a long time and later he had voiced to the English translator present that Dr.S. radhakrishnan as a true patriot with lofty thoughts and ideals was pained intensely looking at the human suffering.
Once Stalin was seriously ill. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan was at that time in Russia.
The despot wanted to see him. The meeting was arranged. Seeing the lion weak and sapless, the Indian leader gently caressed Stalin and hugged him.
The stone melted. Philosophy overtook imperialism. When the Wizard took leave of Stalin, tears trickled down the dictator’s cheeks. He realized that “Man is not made for hate and destruction but for love and life”.
