dear, the truth about the Love between You and Me is
known only to My mind and
that mind constantly stays with You. Know You that
herein lies the essence of Love.
Know that the chanting of my
name destroys all sins in this world, if the chanting is
done with the one-pointed devotion and complete
dependence upon me.
Our predicament is not different from
that of the deer that runs from horizon to horizon in
search of water led on by the light of mirage at a
distance. Even while perfectly aware of the deception of
the senses, we are like fools behaving like their
slaves.
Even for the virtuous, duty is subtle
and not easy to grasp; the soul residing in the heart
alone knows what is right and what is wrong.
Verily I tell you, even if Ravana himself came to me
for sanctuary, I would accept him without hesitation.
.....I shall explain to you the Bhakti Sadhana.
Remember that the first discipline to be undergone in
this system is to seek the company of the holy and
virtuous.
Quotes from Ram from the Ramayana translation by
William Buck
'THE RAM' IS A CHARMING DARK BLUE
GREAT, COURAGEOUS, SERENE AND MAJESTIC
HE PROTECTS DEVOTEE IN DANGER
GO ON MEDITATING 'RAM' IN THE DAWN
WHOEVER WEARS OUT HIS BODY, FOR GOD'S MISSION
WHOSE TONGUE ALWAYS UTTERS NAME OF SHRI RAM
WHO BEHAVES RELIGIOUSLY AND ALWAYS EXCELLENT
BLESSED IN THIS WORLDS, IS SUCH A SERVANT OF THE
OMNIPOTENT
from Seed by Ram Dass
