Srimad Bhagavatham (11:14:25)

 

यथाग्निना हेम मलं जहाति

ध्मातं पुनः स्वं भजते च रूपम्

आत्मा च कर्मानुशयं विधूय

मद्-भक्ति-योगेन भजत्य् अथो माम्

 

As gold sheds its dross and regains its purity only when heated with fire, so does the soul shake off the seeds of Karma through the discipline of Devotion, by Chanting the Divine Names, and forthwith attains oneness with Me.

 

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Guru is like a potter and a disciple is like a pot. A potter hits the pot from outside and provides every support from within.

 

Guru the washer man, disciple is the cloth; the name of God liken to the soap

 

"This too will pass"....You are just a watcher. Everything passes by. We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life come and go. Happiness come and go. Sorrow come and go.

 

To remain in the Holy Feet of the Guru as a 'nobody' (zero); to remain like a doll in his hand. This is the only effort that can be taken by us

 

"To remain how God wills" – being in this state is Bhagavatha Dharmam.

 

When one is afflicted with sorrow, if he persists in prayers and not question the Lord as to why He is putting him into grief, when the difficult times pass, the Lord is pleased and rewards him with a special gift of His grace.

 

You should not only accept from the bottom of your heart the situation that the Lord keeps you in but also be grateful to Him for that because it is verily the Lord's blessing!

 

When there is true love, even adversities appear to be blessings

 

It is not ours to question why, but to submit to the Divine will, and pass through all experiences that fall to our lot, with a free and cheerful heart.

 

Everything in our life is predetermined. All we have to do is to turn and fix our mind on Him! 

 

Words of wisdom by a great Gnani and a true bhaktha

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
