Sri Maharaj's Pravachan-Nov.1

The Bhagavadgeeta is the Mother of all Scriptures
The Bhagavadgeeta is the mother of all books. It is superior even to the vedas, because while the latter were the result of God's exhalation, the former emanated from His own lips. What is the subject of the Geeta? It discusses both the theoretical and practical aspects of philosophical ignorance and its removal. It begins with the misconception that overtook Arjuna: he had a fit of discontentment owing to the pride of doership, and this gave rise to doubts about what to do and what not to. The Geeta ends with the clarification of these doubts; that is, the pleasure and regret both disappeared with the restoration of the knowledge that it is God who is the real doer.
The exposition of the Bhagavadgeeta in the Jnyaneshwari is so masterly that one can only think that the exponent was but a re-incarnation, centuries later, of the Lord Himself. The exposition, no less than the original, was from the same divine source of inspiration. We should try to practise its preaching, which, very succinctly, is that God is the real doer and we have only to act without a feeling of ego and pride.
If a marriageable girl goes to attend the wedding or betrothal of a friend or relative, she watches the ceremony with a mind crowded with hopes and aspirations about herself. Similarly, as we read, or listen to the reading of, a book concerning spiritualism, we should ponder over the descriptions about the various stages of spiritual advancement and how we can attain them.
Prarabdha will take its due course concerning the body and its conditions, but we should maintain a psychological unconcern or mental detachment. In a law suit an advocate pleads vehemently to defend his client's position, but is mentally unconcerned with the joy or sorrow of winning or losing the case; he may outwardly share the joy or sorrow of the client, but he gets the stipulated fees nevertheless. We should keep a similar attitude.
I behave in a similar way with my disciples in their moments of elation or despondency. Treat prapancha as a game: a win or loss is of little consequence if, all the while, we maintain constant awareness of God. However, we should play the game in all seriousness. This becomes very easy if we continually chant nama. This is why day and night I din into your ears that, come what may, one should never forget nama.

Sri Maharaj's Pravachan-Oct.31

The Very Purpose of Human Life is to attain to God
There is only one thing that God looks for: He loves one who bears Him devotion. Caste, creed, and such other things don't count. In normal life, one who has wealth is considered fortunate; actually, he is fortunate who has realized God. To realize God is, indeed, the very purpose of human life. What hinders the realization is neither want nor abundance of money, but the individual pride, the 'I' ness. One who says 'I serve God' really serves not at all, for the sense of doership destroys all sense of service. Whatever we do while thinking of Him is a meritorious act. So always entertain the awareness of God. What is done with faith will bear fruit.
However, prayers and meditation done without full faith, do not go to waste, provided these are done with the aim of generating devotion, and not merely as a pastime. There aren't a few who do good acts, but often there is a selfish motive underlying it. To perform good acts without expecting a return is a step towards devotion.
Paramartha, in essence, is to realize that it is God who activates everything. It is synonymous with the realization of God within one's own self. One should understand that He is the prime mover behind everything. When a person dies, we say 'he is no more'; we are then referring not to the physical body, but to the departed 'Soul'. It is a tacit but obvious recognition that there is some unknown thing which owns and 'animates' the whole system which we call 'the body', a something that passively watches all activities including wakefulness, sleep, and dreams.
I call the world 'mine', but pay no attention to what animates me. Let us first try to be aware of the 'God', whose presence in me makes me, keeps me, alive. This presence is realized by inference as well as by experience.
We celebrate the beginning of the fresh year with the New Year's Day, the joy of living, with the birthday, and each fresh day, with the morning. So, too, we should begin devotion with nama. We shall thereby get immediate proof of joy, making both the beginning and the end joyful. The sky is common to all, irrespective of status, caste, creed, and such other distinctions; the aim of human life is, similarly, regardless of religion or nationality, the same, namely, the attainment of God.

Faith in Rama Rewards us with True Contentment

Attend carefully to wordly duties/ banking inwardly on Rama's support. A bad thought is equivalent to the company of the vile. Obstacles and difficulties will flee away if you adhere whole-heartedly to Rama. Take care to preserve nama in your heart despite worldly conditions, pleasant or otherwise.Keeping the heart at peace, let the body face its trials and tribulations. Have firm faith in Rama, everything will ultimately be to the good. Believe in earnest that Rama will stand by you. To obey the sadgum implicitly is the best of all sadhanas. Implicit trust in the word of the sadguru imparts dauntlessness.

Human life has a brief duration; see that it does not go to waste. He is blessed by Rama who holds nama dear to his heart. He who chants nama and bears Rama ever in his heart, can be sure of attaining the Supreme Reality. Destiny will run its pre-charted course, while the mind unnecessarily suffers pleasure or pain. Resolve that you will not let the course of events in your prapancha affect the equilibrium of your mind; this will assuredly make you happy in life. Dejection arises because one forgets sadhana. Attachment to carnal pleasures automatically drops off if you have devotion for Rama.

Place full trust in God, and whatever He does, believe it to be in your ultimate interest. Also, remember the Lord's promise that whoever recalls His name at his last breath shall be united with Him.

The saints all aver that the only means to get free of all feeling of misery is to give up all attachment. So, do your duty by all means, but with a mind free from all egoism. Think always of Rama, never about yourself. Circumstances never remain steady so never feel sorry, only be always aware of Rama. Hold your tongue, fill your heart with love for Rama, always be aware of His abiding presence: this is sadhana,

He who keeps implicit faith in Rarna may rest assured of perfect contentment. Let this faith guide your steps in all your worldly activities.To belive that Rama alone is your true support, is all the sadhana you need to do. Keep your conduct morally unimpeachable, and purify your mind. Keep your mouth occupied with chanting nama. God will assuredly grant His grace to one who follows his God, his sadguru and sadhana single-mindedly.
