The Gita Says:
Do your duty to the best of your ability without worrying about the results. Perceive that God is present equally in all beings and treat all beings equally.
The aim of the Gita doctrine is to lead one to tranquility, happiness and equanimity. No rituals are prescribed.
The four goals of human life are:
• doing one's duty,
• earning wealth,
• material and sensual enjoyment (with senses under control),
• attaining salvation.
The world needs different religions, cults and deities to meet the vastly different needs of individuals. The Gita Doctrine is beyond Religious and National boundaries.

गुरु कौन - हमें श्रद्धा दे; हमें विचार दे; प्रेम से प्रेम प्रगट करे; आश्रित के गुनाहों को कबूल कर दंड खुद भोगे; हमें अध्यात्मिक बनाये ।
Guru is the one who gives us faith; gives us thoughts / belief; who accepts our faults taking the penalty on himself; lovingly brings out the latent love in us, and makes us spiritual.

कल जो चला गया और कल जो आएगा दोनो में काल की बात है. काल माने मृत्यु की बात है, जीने वाली बात केवल आज में है ।
That which happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow, both are attached to time, to death. Only the present moment, today, speaks of life.

There are some things that appear to be small. A Mantra, a Naam is so small and yet accomplishes such big things.
जीवन में आया हुआ दुःख हम जब प्रभु का प्रसाद समझ लेते है तब ताप मिट कर तप हो जाता है ।

Rama naam frees us from fear, Ram naam frees us from disease, and lastly His name frees us from our flaws.
प्रत्येक लाभ को शुभ नहीं समझना, लेकिन शुभ को सदेव लाभ ही समझना, चाहे छोटा हो या विरत ।
Don't take every gain to be auspicious, but all that is good and auspicious should be taken as a gain, be it small or large.
समाधि अंतिम स्थिति नहीं है. समाधि का भी कोई फल है वो है राम नाम, हरी नाम ।
Samadhi is not the final stage. Samadhi also has its own fruit and that is Ram Naam, Hari Naam.
आदमी का भीतरी खालीपन केवल दो चीजो से भरा जा सकता है, प्रेम से और त्याग से ।

गुरु गृह की तीन मुख्य चीजे - गुरु वचन, गुरु चरण, गुरु नयन ।
The three most important things of Guru Griha: Guru's speech, Guru's feet and Guru's eyes.
सत्य का निवास स्थान है जीभ; प्रेम का निवास स्थान है इंसान का ह्रदय; करुणा का निवास स्थान है इंसान की आंखे ।
The main place for truth is the tongue, love resides in the heart, and compassion lives in one's eyes.
घर में मंदिर रखो अच्छा; लेकिन घर को ही मंदिर बनाओ ।

विषाद से मुक्ति; विद्या प्राप्ति; विवेक में वृद्धि; विश्वास का द्रढिकरण; भौतिक विकास; विश्राम मिलना; वैराग्य ब़ढना; विस्मय ब़ढना; विचार शून्यता ।
Nine treasures are attained from the abode of Guru:
Freedom from sorrow/ pain; gain of knowledge; increment in discernment/ understanding; growth of faith; materialistic gains; peace and rest; dispassion/ detachment; increase in curiosity; thoughts become nought.
कभी एक संत में सारा समाज समाया हुआ होता है, कभी सारे समाज में कोई एक ही संत होता है ।
At times, the entire society is assimilated in one Saint and sometimes there is only one Saint in the whole society.
इश्वर तो सब के पास है, पर ज़हा ego हो तो वो कहेता है, I Go.
God is always with us, but where there is 'ego' He says, 'I Go'.
संत समाज के अवगाहन करने से अपनी वृत्तियों में परिवर्तन आता है ।
Submergence in Sant Samaj brings about a change in our habits.
संत समाज के सेवन से क्लेश समाप्त होता है ।
The company of Saints brings one's delusions and afflictions to an end.
संत समाज चलता फ़िरता प्रयाग है. संत समाज के पाच लक्षण :
१) शांति - जहा शांति होती है.
२) विवेक - विवेक का वर्धन होता है.
३) पवित्रता - उनके चारो ओर पवित्रता होती है.
४) प्रेम भावना - परसपर प्रेम, कोई भेद नहीं होता.
५) सेवा वृत्ति का सर्जन - समाज में सेवा करने की वृत्ति हो.
Sant Samaj ie Society of Saints is a prayag (meeting point). The 5 indicators of Sant Samaj are:
1) Peace - the surroundings radiate peace.
2) Knowledge/ wisdom - they increase the power of discretion.
3) Purity - they are surrounded by purity.
4) Love for all - they have love for all with out any discrimination.
5) Service- they have the desire to do service.
मूल में नाम तत्व है. उसके ऊपर भजन भवन (बनाने) के पांच अंग :
१) स्मरण - निरंतर स्मृति
२) सेवा - स्मरण करते करते सेवा
३) समता - सबकी समान सेवा
४) समर्पण - त्याग आएगा
५) स्वीकार - सब का स्वीकार
Naam tattva (the Name of God) is the root. A Bhajan Bhavan above this, requires five things:
1) Smaran/ Remembrance - constant remembrance of God.
2) Seva/ Service - doing service while remembering God.
3) Samta/ Equality - there should be no partiality in service.
4) Samarpan/ Surrender - sacrifice will come.
5) Svikar/ Acceptance - acceptance of all.
सारी कथा का मूल तत्व नाम है; सारे ब्रह्मांड के मूल में नाम है ।
Naam, the name of God, is the fundamental element of Katha. The essence of creation is in Naam.
बुद्धि को शुद्ध रखने के तीन उपाय, जो गीता में बताये है.
१) यज्ञ - हरी नाम का यज्ञ अपनी बुद्धि को शुद्ध रखता है.
२) दान - अपने से जो हो. मीठी वाणी बोलना भी दान है.
३) तप - कलयुग का तप है निंदा को सहन कर लेना और जिसने निंदा की उसके प्रति दुर्भाव न हो ।
Three ways of keeping the mind/ intellect pure, as shown in the Geeta:
1) Yagya/ Sacrifice: taking the name of God is a yagya which keeps the buddhi pure.
2) Daan/ Giving: whatever we can do as per our ability; speaking nicely and sweetly to others is also a form of giving.
3) Tap/ Penance: tolerating condemnation and not to have any ill-feeling for those who judge us, is a type of penance in this age of Kaliyug.
पत्नि का अर्थ है जो पति को पतन से बचाए:नारी का अर्थ है न अरि ।
The meaning of patni/ wife is one who saves her husband from patan/ falling.
The meaning of nari is na ari, one who is not an enemy.
सम्वेदना का मुख्य स्थान ह्रदय है. भगवान शंकर ने पूरा शास्त्र ह्रदय में रखा है. भले ज्ञान की पीठ में बैठा है लेकिन वो करुणा का अवतार है. उनकी कथा ह्रदय से निकलती है ।
The main place for compassion is in the heart. Shankar Bhagwan has kept the entire shastra within his heart. He might be positioned in the seat of knowledge, but he is the incarnation of compassion. His katha emerges from the heart.
विवेक मतलब समझदारी, जागृति ।
Vivek means understanding, awareness.
विवेकानंदजी: राजनीती मे हिंदुस्तान यदि धर्म छोड देगा तो नष्ट हो जायेगा.राजनीती मे धर्म होना चाहिये, लेकिन धर्म मे राजनीती नहि होनी चाहिये; और धर्म का अर्थ सत्य, प्रेम और करुणा ।
Vivekanandji said that if Hindustan discards dharma/ righteousness in politics, it will be destroyed.
Bapu added that in politics there should be dharma, but in dharma there should not be politics, and by Dharma he means Satya Prem and Karuna, Truth Love and Compassion.
हमारे देश मे तीन बस्तु आदमी को आदर के साथ मिलनी चाहिये :
- आगम/ शिक्षण: आखिर व्यक्ति अन्तिम व्यक्ति से लेकर सबको शिक्षा मिलनी चाहिये.
- उसको अन्न मिलना चाहिये; कोई आदमी भुखा नहि रहेना चाहिये, बच्चे तो खास.
- आदमी को आदर के साथ आरोग्य की सेवस्थ प्राप्त होनी चाहिये ।
There are three things that each person should receive with respect :
- Education: from the first to the last person, everyone should be educated.
- Food: every individual should have food; noone should remain hungry, especially children.
- Healthcare: everyone should receive healthcare with dignity and respect.
१) एक मांगने से मिलता है. फ़िर वो कृपा करे तो.
२) मंथन से मिलता है. खुद के चिंतन से.
३) सत्संग करने से.
४) हमारा गुरु बिन बोले हमें विवेक प्रदान करता है ।
Vivek can be attained in four ways:
1) By asking, and then if He (God) showers His grace.
2) Through contemplation and self-introspection.
3) By doing satsang.
4) Our Guru grants us this vivek without us asking.
सत्संग से विवेक का जन्म होगा. यह सत्संग सुलभ होता है हरी कृपा से.
हरी कृपा निराकार, अमृत है. कृपा व्यापक है, कृपा सर्वकालिक है ।
The power of discretion/ discernment is born through satsang. This satsang is only made possible with the grace of God.
Kripa, the grace of God, is without any form; it is nectar. It is present everywhere (not dependent on any particular place) and is present at all times (not limited to time frame).
कभी किसी के प्रभाव में नहीं जीना, अपने प्रभाव मे जीना.
सत्य जहाँ से मिले ले लो, पर किसी से प्रभावित नहीं होना.
Don't live your life under anyone's influence. Live in your own innate nature.
Truth should be accepted and welcomed from everywhere, but don't let your life be regulated by anyone.
चिंता करने वाला आदमी धार्मिक नहीं होता. धार्मिक आदमी कभी चिंता नहीं करता. अगर चिंता करे तो समझना धार्मिक कपड़ो मे अधार्मिक छिपा है.
One who worries cannot be righteous; a true religious man never worries about anything. If he does, then recognise him to be an atheist wearing the garb a religious one.
साधना वाणी से नहीं व्यक्ति के वर्तन से सुनी जाती है ।
Sadhana cannot be spoken of, but is comminicated by one's behaviour/ conduct.
अगर कोई पूछे, सत्य की व्याख्या करो, तो शांत रहो. यह है सत्य की व्याख्या.
अगर कोई पूछे, प्रेम की व्याख्या करो, तो थोडा मुस्करा दो. यह है प्रेम की व्याख्या.
अगर कोई कहे, करुना की व्याख्या करो, आंख मे थोड़ी सी भिनाश (नमी). यह है करुना की व्याख्या ।
If someone asks, what is the definition of Truth, then stay quiet; this is the illustration of Truth.
If someone asks you to define Love, then laugh a little; this itself is Love.
If someone asks you to explain Compassion, then let your eyes moisten; this is the meaning of Compassion.
जहां विरोध है वहां बोध नही. जहां बोध है वहां विरोध नही ।
Where there is contradiction there is no enlightenment. Where there is enlightenment there is no contradiction.
सब को प्रेम करो...सत्य का उपासक मुस्कराता होना चाहिए ।
Love everyone; a follower of truth, walking on the path of truth, should ever be smiling.
सत्य जब जुवान होता है तो उसका नाम प्रेम है. प्रेम जब बुढा होता है, पक्ता है, तो करुणा बन जाता है. करुणा जब निर्दोष बनती है, बच्चे कि तरह, तो फ़िर सत्य का रुप हो जाता है. यह एक चक्र है ।
When Truth is in its youth, it is called Love. When Love becomes ripe and reaches old age, it takes the form of Compassion. When Compassion becomes innocent like a small child, it again becomes Truth. This is a cycle.
तुम्हारे आगे कौन है ये नहि देखो. तुम्हारे पिछे कौन है ये नहि देखो. तुम्हारे दाएं कौन है, बाएं कौन है, उपर कौन है, नीचे कौन है ये नहि देखो. तुम्हारे अंदर क्या है ये देखो. यह देखने के लिये भगवद कथा है; कथा का अर्थ है अंतर-दर्शन ।
Don’t look at who is in front of you or behind you, who is on your left or right, who is above or below. Instead, understand what is inside you. Bhagvad Katha is for this; its purpose is introspection and understanding one's own self.
शरिर पाँच तत्वो से बना है: पृथ्वि, जल, आग्नि, आकाश, पवन. फिर बाद मे यह इनमे वापस चला जाता है किसि न किसि रूप मे: अग्नि संस्कार, जल समाधि, पृथ्वि मे या किसि योगी कि तरह जो अपना शरिर पवन मे पिघाल देता है ।
The body is made up of five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Ether, Air. Later it returns to those elements in one form or another: through Agni sanskar, Jal samadhi, in the Earth through burial or like a yogi who becomes one with the Air.
तीन वस्तु मिट जाये तो हम जीवन मुक्त है.
शोक: भुतकाल का शोक मिट जाये.
मोह: वर्तमान का मोह मिट जाये.
चिंता: भविष्य की चिंता मिट जाये ।
If we can destroy three things then we can become liberated in this life.
Sok: grief of the past.
Moh: attachment for the present.
Chinta: worrying for the future.
साधु कौन? जिसमे ये चार हो वह साधु:
- सब का स्विकार करे
- किसी से तकरार ना करे
- जिवन मे किसी का तिरस्कार ना करे
- सब से प्यार
Who is a Sadhu? One who has these four qualities is a Sadhu:
- One who accepts everything and everybody
- One who has no discord with anybody
- One who does not have contempt or disrespect for anyone
- One who has love and affection for everybody
सुख कि कभि ऊपेक्षा मत करो; आ जाये तो प्रभु का प्रसाद समज कर पहेले दुसरो को बांटो और बाद मे उसे भोगो ।
Don't ever have expectations for happiness; if you receive it, then consider it as God's prasad, share it with others and then reap it yourself.
सदगुरु और ईश्वर जानने वालि चिज नहि, मानने वालि चिज है ।
You don’t need to know and understand Sadguru and God, rather listen to and believe Them.
अप्राप्त वस्तु कि इच्छा और प्राप्त वस्तु कि ममता हि बंधन है ।
The desire for the unattained and attachment with already attained possessions leads to bondage.
दहशत होगी तो कुछ नहीं होगा,
महनत होगी तो कुछ कुछ होगा,
रहमत होगी तो सब कुछ होगा ।
If there is fear/tension, nothing will happen;
If there is effort/ hard work, something will happen;
If there is grace/ blessings, everything will happen.
चिंता तन से प्रगट होति है, निवास करती है मन मे और जिवन को बिगाड देती है. आश्रित को चाहिये चिंता न करे; चिंता करने से आश्रयदाता का अपमान होता है ।
Worry is borne from the body, it lives in the heart and ruins one’s life. Aashrit tells us not to worry; by worrying, we are disrespecting our guru.
आदमी को तीन काम करना चाहिये:
- देह सेवा
- देव सेवा
- देश सेवा
A person should do three things:
- service of the body
- service of God
- service of the country
દેવ શ્રાપ આપે પણ ગુરુદેવ શ્રાપ આપી જ ના શકે. એના સ્વભાવમાં કરુણા જ હોય છે ।
God can give punishment but Gurudev can never punish; he only has compassion.
કન્યાની ભ્રુણહત્યા ના થવી જોઇએ. સ્ત્રી ભ્રુણહત્યા સમાજમાંથી બંધ થાય. જેને ઘરે પહેલા દિકરી જન્મે એને બહુ મોટો ઉત્સવ કરવો જોઇએ કે મારે ઘરે નવ દુર્ગામાંથી કોઇ એક દુર્ગાના પગલા થયા ।
Female infanticide should not happen and should stop in society. The birth of a girl as a firstborn is worthy of celebration - that the daughter is the manifestation of one of the nine durgas.
દિકરો જન્મે અને થાળી વગાડો સારી વસ્તુ છે પણ દિકરી જન્મે એના જેવુ કોઇ શુકન નથી. સમજદારી હોય તો ભગવાન પાસે માંગવુ કે મારે ખોડે પહેલી દિકરી જન્મે. જોગ માયા છે, જગદંબા છે. કન્યાનો મહિમા અદભૂત છે ।
It is of course good to celebrate when a boy is born, but there is no good fortune (shukan) equal to a the birth of a girl. The right wisdom would lead one to pray for the first born to be a girl. She is jogmaya. She is Jagadamba. The depth and significance of a daughter is extraordinary.
સુખ દુ:ખ થી પર થઈ જવાય એવી ઘટના ગુરુના આશ્રયથી બનતી હોય છે ।
When you surrender to a Guru, you become detached/ liberated from the feelings of happiness and sorrow.
બુદ્ધિ હમેશા કારણો શોધે છે, પણ હ્રદય એક એવુ ક્ષેત્ર છે જે કારણમાં માનતુ જ નથી. એને ભાવ દ્રષ્ટ્રિબ કહે છે; જીવનમાં ભાવ દ્રષ્ટ્રિr ખુબજ જરૂરી છે ।
Your mind always looks for reasons, but the heart is one such realm that does not believe in reasons. This is called having a vision with bhāv; such a vision in life is very necessary.
સાધુ નો સંગ હોય એને સ્વર્ગ ની જરુર ના પડે ।
He who has acquaintance with a Sadhu/ Guru does not need heaven.
ભજન કરનારે કોઈ દિવસ એમ ન વિચારવુ કે મારે ત્યાં જવુ છે. આપણે ક્યાં જવુ છે એ ભજન ને નક્કી કરવા દો ।
He who does bhajan should not think and decide where he wants to go. Let bhajan decide where you want to go.
ત્યાગ કરતા સ્વીકાર વધારે મોટુ છે. આપણી પાસે ત્યાગ કરવા જેવુ છે શું? પણ સ્વીકારવા માટે આખી દુનિયા છે. ત્યાગની ગણતરી થાય પણ સ્વીકારની કેમ નહી ? જ્યારે કેટલુ સ્વિકારવામાં આવ્યુ હોય !
Acceptance is greater than sacrifice. What have we even got that we can sacrifice? But to accept, we have the whole world. If sacrifices are counted, then why acceptances are also not counted when there is so much that is being accepted.
Do your duty to the best of your ability without worrying about the results. Perceive that God is present equally in all beings and treat all beings equally.

The three most important things of Guru Griha: Guru's speech, Guru's feet and Guru's eyes.
सत्य का निवास स्थान है जीभ; प्रेम का निवास स्थान है इंसान का ह्रदय; करुणा का निवास स्थान है इंसान की आंखे ।
The main place for truth is the tongue, love resides in the heart, and compassion lives in one's eyes.
घर में मंदिर रखो अच्छा; लेकिन घर को ही मंदिर बनाओ ।
It is good to keep a temple in your home; but make your house a temple.
हमारा ह्रदय ही गुरु गृह है ।
Our heart is the abode of our Guru.
गुरु गृह से नौ निद्धि की प्राप्ति होती है.
विषाद से मुक्ति; विद्या प्राप्ति; विवेक में वृद्धि; विश्वास का द्रढिकरण; भौतिक विकास; विश्राम मिलना; वैराग्य ब़ढना; विस्मय ब़ढना; विचार शून्यता ।
Nine treasures are attained from the abode of Guru:
Freedom from sorrow/ pain; gain of knowledge; increment in discernment/ understanding; growth of faith; materialistic gains; peace and rest; dispassion/ detachment; increase in curiosity; thoughts become nought.
कभी एक संत में सारा समाज समाया हुआ होता है, कभी सारे समाज में कोई एक ही संत होता है ।
At times, the entire society is assimilated in one Saint and sometimes there is only one Saint in the whole society.
इश्वर तो सब के पास है, पर ज़हा ego हो तो वो कहेता है, I Go.
God is always with us, but where there is 'ego' He says, 'I Go'.
संत समाज के अवगाहन करने से अपनी वृत्तियों में परिवर्तन आता है ।
Submergence in Sant Samaj brings about a change in our habits.
संत समाज के सेवन से क्लेश समाप्त होता है ।
The company of Saints brings one's delusions and afflictions to an end.
संत समाज चलता फ़िरता प्रयाग है. संत समाज के पाच लक्षण :
१) शांति - जहा शांति होती है.
२) विवेक - विवेक का वर्धन होता है.
३) पवित्रता - उनके चारो ओर पवित्रता होती है.
४) प्रेम भावना - परसपर प्रेम, कोई भेद नहीं होता.
५) सेवा वृत्ति का सर्जन - समाज में सेवा करने की वृत्ति हो.
Sant Samaj ie Society of Saints is a prayag (meeting point). The 5 indicators of Sant Samaj are:
1) Peace - the surroundings radiate peace.
2) Knowledge/ wisdom - they increase the power of discretion.
3) Purity - they are surrounded by purity.
4) Love for all - they have love for all with out any discrimination.
5) Service- they have the desire to do service.
मूल में नाम तत्व है. उसके ऊपर भजन भवन (बनाने) के पांच अंग :
१) स्मरण - निरंतर स्मृति
२) सेवा - स्मरण करते करते सेवा
३) समता - सबकी समान सेवा
४) समर्पण - त्याग आएगा
५) स्वीकार - सब का स्वीकार
Naam tattva (the Name of God) is the root. A Bhajan Bhavan above this, requires five things:
1) Smaran/ Remembrance - constant remembrance of God.
2) Seva/ Service - doing service while remembering God.
3) Samta/ Equality - there should be no partiality in service.
4) Samarpan/ Surrender - sacrifice will come.
5) Svikar/ Acceptance - acceptance of all.
सारी कथा का मूल तत्व नाम है; सारे ब्रह्मांड के मूल में नाम है ।
Naam, the name of God, is the fundamental element of Katha. The essence of creation is in Naam.
बुद्धि को शुद्ध रखने के तीन उपाय, जो गीता में बताये है.
१) यज्ञ - हरी नाम का यज्ञ अपनी बुद्धि को शुद्ध रखता है.
२) दान - अपने से जो हो. मीठी वाणी बोलना भी दान है.
३) तप - कलयुग का तप है निंदा को सहन कर लेना और जिसने निंदा की उसके प्रति दुर्भाव न हो ।
Three ways of keeping the mind/ intellect pure, as shown in the Geeta:
1) Yagya/ Sacrifice: taking the name of God is a yagya which keeps the buddhi pure.
2) Daan/ Giving: whatever we can do as per our ability; speaking nicely and sweetly to others is also a form of giving.
3) Tap/ Penance: tolerating condemnation and not to have any ill-feeling for those who judge us, is a type of penance in this age of Kaliyug.
पत्नि का अर्थ है जो पति को पतन से बचाए:नारी का अर्थ है न अरि ।
The meaning of patni/ wife is one who saves her husband from patan/ falling.
The meaning of nari is na ari, one who is not an enemy.
सम्वेदना का मुख्य स्थान ह्रदय है. भगवान शंकर ने पूरा शास्त्र ह्रदय में रखा है. भले ज्ञान की पीठ में बैठा है लेकिन वो करुणा का अवतार है. उनकी कथा ह्रदय से निकलती है ।
The main place for compassion is in the heart. Shankar Bhagwan has kept the entire shastra within his heart. He might be positioned in the seat of knowledge, but he is the incarnation of compassion. His katha emerges from the heart.
विवेक मतलब समझदारी, जागृति ।
Vivek means understanding, awareness.
विवेकानंदजी: राजनीती मे हिंदुस्तान यदि धर्म छोड देगा तो नष्ट हो जायेगा.राजनीती मे धर्म होना चाहिये, लेकिन धर्म मे राजनीती नहि होनी चाहिये; और धर्म का अर्थ सत्य, प्रेम और करुणा ।
Vivekanandji said that if Hindustan discards dharma/ righteousness in politics, it will be destroyed.
Bapu added that in politics there should be dharma, but in dharma there should not be politics, and by Dharma he means Satya Prem and Karuna, Truth Love and Compassion.
हमारे देश मे तीन बस्तु आदमी को आदर के साथ मिलनी चाहिये :
- आगम/ शिक्षण: आखिर व्यक्ति अन्तिम व्यक्ति से लेकर सबको शिक्षा मिलनी चाहिये.
- उसको अन्न मिलना चाहिये; कोई आदमी भुखा नहि रहेना चाहिये, बच्चे तो खास.
- आदमी को आदर के साथ आरोग्य की सेवस्थ प्राप्त होनी चाहिये ।
There are three things that each person should receive with respect :
- Education: from the first to the last person, everyone should be educated.
- Food: every individual should have food; noone should remain hungry, especially children.
- Healthcare: everyone should receive healthcare with dignity and respect.
१) एक मांगने से मिलता है. फ़िर वो कृपा करे तो.
२) मंथन से मिलता है. खुद के चिंतन से.
३) सत्संग करने से.
४) हमारा गुरु बिन बोले हमें विवेक प्रदान करता है ।
Vivek can be attained in four ways:
1) By asking, and then if He (God) showers His grace.
2) Through contemplation and self-introspection.
3) By doing satsang.
4) Our Guru grants us this vivek without us asking.
सत्संग से विवेक का जन्म होगा. यह सत्संग सुलभ होता है हरी कृपा से.
हरी कृपा निराकार, अमृत है. कृपा व्यापक है, कृपा सर्वकालिक है ।
The power of discretion/ discernment is born through satsang. This satsang is only made possible with the grace of God.
Kripa, the grace of God, is without any form; it is nectar. It is present everywhere (not dependent on any particular place) and is present at all times (not limited to time frame).
कभी किसी के प्रभाव में नहीं जीना, अपने प्रभाव मे जीना.
सत्य जहाँ से मिले ले लो, पर किसी से प्रभावित नहीं होना.
Don't live your life under anyone's influence. Live in your own innate nature.
Truth should be accepted and welcomed from everywhere, but don't let your life be regulated by anyone.
चिंता करने वाला आदमी धार्मिक नहीं होता. धार्मिक आदमी कभी चिंता नहीं करता. अगर चिंता करे तो समझना धार्मिक कपड़ो मे अधार्मिक छिपा है.
One who worries cannot be righteous; a true religious man never worries about anything. If he does, then recognise him to be an atheist wearing the garb a religious one.
साधना वाणी से नहीं व्यक्ति के वर्तन से सुनी जाती है ।
Sadhana cannot be spoken of, but is comminicated by one's behaviour/ conduct.
अगर कोई पूछे, सत्य की व्याख्या करो, तो शांत रहो. यह है सत्य की व्याख्या.
अगर कोई पूछे, प्रेम की व्याख्या करो, तो थोडा मुस्करा दो. यह है प्रेम की व्याख्या.
अगर कोई कहे, करुना की व्याख्या करो, आंख मे थोड़ी सी भिनाश (नमी). यह है करुना की व्याख्या ।
If someone asks, what is the definition of Truth, then stay quiet; this is the illustration of Truth.
If someone asks you to define Love, then laugh a little; this itself is Love.
If someone asks you to explain Compassion, then let your eyes moisten; this is the meaning of Compassion.
जहां विरोध है वहां बोध नही. जहां बोध है वहां विरोध नही ।
Where there is contradiction there is no enlightenment. Where there is enlightenment there is no contradiction.
सब को प्रेम करो...सत्य का उपासक मुस्कराता होना चाहिए ।
Love everyone; a follower of truth, walking on the path of truth, should ever be smiling.
सत्य जब जुवान होता है तो उसका नाम प्रेम है. प्रेम जब बुढा होता है, पक्ता है, तो करुणा बन जाता है. करुणा जब निर्दोष बनती है, बच्चे कि तरह, तो फ़िर सत्य का रुप हो जाता है. यह एक चक्र है ।
When Truth is in its youth, it is called Love. When Love becomes ripe and reaches old age, it takes the form of Compassion. When Compassion becomes innocent like a small child, it again becomes Truth. This is a cycle.
तुम्हारे आगे कौन है ये नहि देखो. तुम्हारे पिछे कौन है ये नहि देखो. तुम्हारे दाएं कौन है, बाएं कौन है, उपर कौन है, नीचे कौन है ये नहि देखो. तुम्हारे अंदर क्या है ये देखो. यह देखने के लिये भगवद कथा है; कथा का अर्थ है अंतर-दर्शन ।
Don’t look at who is in front of you or behind you, who is on your left or right, who is above or below. Instead, understand what is inside you. Bhagvad Katha is for this; its purpose is introspection and understanding one's own self.
शरिर पाँच तत्वो से बना है: पृथ्वि, जल, आग्नि, आकाश, पवन. फिर बाद मे यह इनमे वापस चला जाता है किसि न किसि रूप मे: अग्नि संस्कार, जल समाधि, पृथ्वि मे या किसि योगी कि तरह जो अपना शरिर पवन मे पिघाल देता है ।
The body is made up of five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Ether, Air. Later it returns to those elements in one form or another: through Agni sanskar, Jal samadhi, in the Earth through burial or like a yogi who becomes one with the Air.
तीन वस्तु मिट जाये तो हम जीवन मुक्त है.
शोक: भुतकाल का शोक मिट जाये.
मोह: वर्तमान का मोह मिट जाये.
चिंता: भविष्य की चिंता मिट जाये ।
If we can destroy three things then we can become liberated in this life.
Sok: grief of the past.
Moh: attachment for the present.
Chinta: worrying for the future.
साधु कौन? जिसमे ये चार हो वह साधु:
- सब का स्विकार करे
- किसी से तकरार ना करे
- जिवन मे किसी का तिरस्कार ना करे
- सब से प्यार
Who is a Sadhu? One who has these four qualities is a Sadhu:
- One who accepts everything and everybody
- One who has no discord with anybody
- One who does not have contempt or disrespect for anyone
- One who has love and affection for everybody
सुख कि कभि ऊपेक्षा मत करो; आ जाये तो प्रभु का प्रसाद समज कर पहेले दुसरो को बांटो और बाद मे उसे भोगो ।
Don't ever have expectations for happiness; if you receive it, then consider it as God's prasad, share it with others and then reap it yourself.
सदगुरु और ईश्वर जानने वालि चिज नहि, मानने वालि चिज है ।
You don’t need to know and understand Sadguru and God, rather listen to and believe Them.
अप्राप्त वस्तु कि इच्छा और प्राप्त वस्तु कि ममता हि बंधन है ।
The desire for the unattained and attachment with already attained possessions leads to bondage.
दहशत होगी तो कुछ नहीं होगा,
महनत होगी तो कुछ कुछ होगा,
रहमत होगी तो सब कुछ होगा ।
If there is fear/tension, nothing will happen;
If there is effort/ hard work, something will happen;
If there is grace/ blessings, everything will happen.
चिंता तन से प्रगट होति है, निवास करती है मन मे और जिवन को बिगाड देती है. आश्रित को चाहिये चिंता न करे; चिंता करने से आश्रयदाता का अपमान होता है ।
Worry is borne from the body, it lives in the heart and ruins one’s life. Aashrit tells us not to worry; by worrying, we are disrespecting our guru.
आदमी को तीन काम करना चाहिये:
- देह सेवा
- देव सेवा
- देश सेवा
A person should do three things:
- service of the body
- service of God
- service of the country
દેવ શ્રાપ આપે પણ ગુરુદેવ શ્રાપ આપી જ ના શકે. એના સ્વભાવમાં કરુણા જ હોય છે ।
God can give punishment but Gurudev can never punish; he only has compassion.
કન્યાની ભ્રુણહત્યા ના થવી જોઇએ. સ્ત્રી ભ્રુણહત્યા સમાજમાંથી બંધ થાય. જેને ઘરે પહેલા દિકરી જન્મે એને બહુ મોટો ઉત્સવ કરવો જોઇએ કે મારે ઘરે નવ દુર્ગામાંથી કોઇ એક દુર્ગાના પગલા થયા ।
Female infanticide should not happen and should stop in society. The birth of a girl as a firstborn is worthy of celebration - that the daughter is the manifestation of one of the nine durgas.
દિકરો જન્મે અને થાળી વગાડો સારી વસ્તુ છે પણ દિકરી જન્મે એના જેવુ કોઇ શુકન નથી. સમજદારી હોય તો ભગવાન પાસે માંગવુ કે મારે ખોડે પહેલી દિકરી જન્મે. જોગ માયા છે, જગદંબા છે. કન્યાનો મહિમા અદભૂત છે ।
It is of course good to celebrate when a boy is born, but there is no good fortune (shukan) equal to a the birth of a girl. The right wisdom would lead one to pray for the first born to be a girl. She is jogmaya. She is Jagadamba. The depth and significance of a daughter is extraordinary.
સુખ દુ:ખ થી પર થઈ જવાય એવી ઘટના ગુરુના આશ્રયથી બનતી હોય છે ।
When you surrender to a Guru, you become detached/ liberated from the feelings of happiness and sorrow.
બુદ્ધિ હમેશા કારણો શોધે છે, પણ હ્રદય એક એવુ ક્ષેત્ર છે જે કારણમાં માનતુ જ નથી. એને ભાવ દ્રષ્ટ્રિબ કહે છે; જીવનમાં ભાવ દ્રષ્ટ્રિr ખુબજ જરૂરી છે ।
Your mind always looks for reasons, but the heart is one such realm that does not believe in reasons. This is called having a vision with bhāv; such a vision in life is very necessary.
સાધુ નો સંગ હોય એને સ્વર્ગ ની જરુર ના પડે ।
He who has acquaintance with a Sadhu/ Guru does not need heaven.
ભજન કરનારે કોઈ દિવસ એમ ન વિચારવુ કે મારે ત્યાં જવુ છે. આપણે ક્યાં જવુ છે એ ભજન ને નક્કી કરવા દો ।
He who does bhajan should not think and decide where he wants to go. Let bhajan decide where you want to go.
ત્યાગ કરતા સ્વીકાર વધારે મોટુ છે. આપણી પાસે ત્યાગ કરવા જેવુ છે શું? પણ સ્વીકારવા માટે આખી દુનિયા છે. ત્યાગની ગણતરી થાય પણ સ્વીકારની કેમ નહી ? જ્યારે કેટલુ સ્વિકારવામાં આવ્યુ હોય !
Acceptance is greater than sacrifice. What have we even got that we can sacrifice? But to accept, we have the whole world. If sacrifices are counted, then why acceptances are also not counted when there is so much that is being accepted.
