Embodiments of the Divine Atma!

Even if I am not physically present during the Anniversary of the sacred temple of Guindy, which is a center for spreading devotion, I am filling all your hearts and I am enjoying the bliss of it along with you. I am bestowing my Blessings.

It is known to everyone that in the present world there is no fear of sin, nor wish for merit. Sacred values like Truth, Righteousness, Compassion, Love, Non-violence etc. are being fostered only in words, but not in actions. Peace and Tolerance are like the distant islands that are lost. Every human being is craving for peace and comfort, but is not taking the necessary steps to attain them. Achievement is possible only when the thought of the mind, the word of the mouth and the deed of the hands are unified. How can the right path be seen when words are confined only to the tongue?

To those who are determined to tread only the right royal road, the nectar of singing the glory of God will be the path of flowers.

It is a sin to sell the most valuable human life for the sake of the coal of mundane desires. Its real price is the ecstasy of God’s name. That is the real fulfillment of life. In this Kali age only the time that is spent in praising the nectarine name of God is the valuable time. Instead of becoming crazy about mundane desires, it is highly fruitful to develop taste about divine qualities. The name is the divine nectar that removes the blindness of ignorance and bestows Prajnana and Vijnana, Wisdom and Enlightenment. May you all be blessed with this nectar. May you acquire merit. Having been born, may you all hold on to this unique state firmly.

Blessings

Baba
