The way to God - Путь к Богу

Embodiments of Love! 

You have all come from many distant parts of the world. You have come to experience the joy of participating in the Buddha Purnima celebrations. You need not have come all the way from your distant places. Buddhi represents the intellect. That intellect must be used properly. Then you will realize what is implied in Buddhism. 

People talk about spiritual exercises and waste their lives. All these pursuits are waste of time. It is enough if you develop sacred feelings. The chief sadhana (spiritual exercise) consists of getting rid of bad thoughts and cultivating good qualities. Whatever pilgrim center you may visit, try to shed your bad tendencies. Develop good qualities instead. 

Fill your heart with noble feelings 23 November 1998

This Motherland of ours gave to the world
Noble souls renowned in all the continents.
It is the land that ousted the
Foreign rulers and achieved freedom.
This Bharat is reputed for its scholarship.
 It is the sacred land that stood forth
As the exemplar in the realms of music,
 literature and sacred lore;
Born in the land of Bharat,
noted for its fine arts and natural beauty,
Oh devotees! It is your bounden duty to foster
The glory and prosperity of the Motherland.

[Telugu poem]

 Divinity is more resplendent than the sun,
Purer than the purest snow,
Subtler than the sky and space,
