& Shrimadji said... This blessed human life has been obtained as a result of much accumulated wholesome Karma. Alas, however, that not a single round of life cycle has been reduced thereby! At least bear in mind that true happiness is lost by endeavoring for worldly pleasure. Why then relish a life style that involves frightful spiritual death every moment!
& Shrimadji said... "The substance of all scriptures lies in these words; Worship God, adopt morality and be benevolent..."
& Shrimadji said... "May the supreme and everlasting religion, propounded by the jinas, which is like an unimaginable jewel, supremely beneficial, wondrous, undoubtedly the ultimate destroyer of all suffering, and like the divine ambrosia, be victorious. May it ever be victorious..." (An excerpt from 'Shrimad Rajchandra' Patrank-843)
& Shrimadji said... "The worldly life is full of misery. The enlightened ones endeavor to cross over it. Thereby they attain liberation and stay in infinite bliss. Liberation cannot be attained in other embodiment. It is not possible to attain it in heavenly, animal or infernal life; it can be attained only in the human life..."
& Shrimadji said..."A man can bring an elephant under control by exercising his intelligence. How much benefit would he get if he brings the elephant-like mind under control..."
& Shrimadji said..."Since true discernment does not arise in any other species, it is not possible to tread on the path of liberation except in human life. It is therefore necessary to make fruitful use of this rare human life..."
& Shrimadji said..."Even while dwelling in his worldly householder's life the best Shrawaka (who has contacted best teachers, hears their teaching carefully, is discriminitive and modest) is successfully under going spiritual disciipline; his order of a householder becomes praiseworthy..."
& Shrimadji said..."The Enlightened ones state that human life is very hard to be obtained. One obtains it by virtue of much wholesome Karma. As such, we should earnestly use it for wellbeing of soul..."
& Shrimadji said... "The topmost Guru is a sailor, who can give seat in the boat of religion and can help in crossing over the worldly sea..."
& Shrimadji said... "To look upon an Enlightened One as the Supreme Soul is called the ultimate dharma by the wise..."
& Shrimadji said..."Saintly contact (Satsang) is a supreme beneficial medicine for a troubled soul..."
& Shrimadji said..."Take it for certain that a contact advocating attachment, enticement to pleasures like music, dance and encouraging sweet or tasty food, howsoever you live in such contact, is definitely a bad contact and it must be avoided at all cost..."
& Shrimadji said..."Joy derived from contact with the Saints is highly praiseworthy..."
& Shrimadji said..."As the dirt and dust of a cloth is washed out by a good detergent or a soap and clean water, so the teachings of religious works and those of Saintly persons in our contact, help us to remove all binding Karmas of our soul so as to purify and liberate it..."
& Shrimadji said..."To keep our mind solely engaged in reading and thinking about the best religious books is also a Saintly contact..."
