All that exists is God
incarnate (viraat) and
Om is its root. Om
pervades everything.
Nothing is possible
without it.
Meditating on Om
means being wholly rid
of the ego. Only then
is Self-realization possible.
One can realize the
Self by discretion.
One's own hard work
and the Guru's grace
are both very essential
to god-realization.
If, after studying
all the four Vedas and the
shastras, one does not
act upon what one
has gathered from them
and is bereft of the
Guru's grace, all one's
study only exhausts
one and goes waste.
He will boldly cross
the ocean of maayaa
who, though seemingly
attached to the
world, has given up all
wordly desires and
ambitions.
Where is the way for
spiritual advancement
as long as there is
lust ?
Think of Brahman as
a tree and sit on anyone of
Its branches
(representing Shiva,
Naaraayana etc.,) The
same goal will be
reached in each case.
It is an indication
of God's grace if one surrenders at the
feet of one's guru.
