Be free from worry and illness

December 4, 2021

Connecting with God brings power and happiness

October 30, 2021

When you are happy, you do not worry about anything. We are not talking about superficial, external happiness. We are talking about deep, inner happiness.

FAITH AND WISDOM

October 23, 2021

Devotional feelings are pure ones consisting of sweetness and innocence. They are feelings of faith in God, but they can be shaken. Faith, without some wisdom to back it up, may fail you in a moment of need. Both are needed for long-term spiritual attainment; like feeling close to God...

SPIRITUAL MEDICINE

September 25, 2021

SPIRITUAL DETACHMENT SAVES US FROM NEGATIVE INFLUENCES

September 18, 2021

Let me be humble and let me harmonise and work well with all others but let me not become like them. Others may be influenced by their own arrogance, or by their own negativities, or by ordinariness in the mind, but this does not mean that I have to be....

WALKING THE SPIRITUAL PATH

September 11, 2021

We, who walk the spiritual path, are those who have enrolled themselves in the school of spirituality. Our aim should be to pass all subjects, with honour. This means that spiritual understanding and power from God have been so well assimilated that not one of life’s many challenges is faced...

PROBLEM SOLVING

September 4, 2021

The trick to problem-solving is to get to the root of the problem before it even shows up. This requires virtues such as objectivity, clarity and honesty, because the solution to all problems is truth. Truth means your spirituality; that is, your essence – the way something is before attitudes...
