• If something comes to you by itself, without your having desire for it, such as grains and cereals, then you are nor will anyone think so. But if you desire something and act on that desire by pulling something to yourself with effort, that effort neither is nor correct.
• Amass the wealth of peace, equanimity, non attachment and equal sight.
• Real happiness lies in giving up even giving up.
• Whatever is gone, is gone. Keep whatever you still have.
• Struggle is necessary for success.
• Act according to the inspiration from within. Do not be artificial. Don’t harbour conceit.
• Wishing does not beget anything. Act for it.
• Live a natural life. You will achieve the clear vision of knowledge.
• Do not amass too much by your livelihood. Share what you have with those who are without resources. This is the spirituality of equal vision; this is known as encompassing empathy.
• O virtuous one, O sudharma! Teaching without initiation widens a gap between guru and disciple.
• Vandewanagar, the home of aghor knowledge, is beautiful. It has been the Aghoreshwar’s place of spiritual practice. It is ever resonant with mantra. It has been the residence of Aghoreshwar’s, Aughars, saints, great souls, and good people. Spiritual practice here during appropriate time’s leads to great knowledge and merit. Here, one can even glimpse the Aghoreshwar; one can even glimpse the Kapaleshwar.
• Understand the indications sent by all liberating Tara. O seeker! Let spiritual unity generate within oneself during sleep. This will create absolute knowledge. What can be better than this?
• One who has given up the quest for prestige, status and praise needs neither to wear ashes on his body, nor to do austere practices, nor to look for recognition. Such a person keeps himself free even from the chains of caste, of lineage, and of regional, national or linguistic identification.
• I do not ask you to understanding only this and no more. Such is not a state of complete understanding. There is more beyond this, which you have to know and make your own. For complete understanding, you have to end all notions of ownership.
• Sudharma! Roam freely in a state of limitlessness. Accept the state of non acceptance.
• You can find a lot within yourself which you cannot find in history or literature, or in inscriptions or through rituals and devotion. What you can find by an exploration of yourself is better and higher than things achieved through other mediums. I exhort you to active toward this reachable goal.
• Free yourself from illusions induced by hearing, misunderstanding, produced by seeing, doubts created by smelling, tasting, touching and speaking.
• It is better to remain unburdened by metal [I, e. Gold and silver] or stones [gems and jewels] or papers full of ink [scriptures, the Vedas the puranas] than to lug them about. The mind should have to bear the burden of too many books.
• By doing pranayama (breathing exercises) and pranav (vibrations of the seed mantras), electrical currents are generated which will end the lethargy of your senses.
• When you meditate with a strong resolve you achieve all the things, substances, resources that you desire. How do you achieve them? Through the medium of vibrations. This is true. This is a characteristic of the truth. It is to achieve this knowledge that scholars, ascetics, and yogis do austere practices.
• What is wealth? At the beginning of prayers we say the mantra ‘tat sat’ (that which is true’). Your fulfilment of duty your sweet words, your good character, your inner absorption in spiritual strength this is your wealth. With this wealth you acquire all riches of divine existence.
• Let you prayers, practices, mantra recitation and meditation remain a mystery within yourself. By this effort only, by silent acceptance, one can achieve many special things which one cannot obtain by opening one’s mouth.
• Pray and meditate upon the inner soul of the supreme cosmic force, the Divine Mother. Keep performing your worldly duties so that your friends and relatives, children, grandchildren and all those who come in contact with you do not suffer in any way.
• By performing prayers to that supreme creative power, by taking time from your daily activities to meditate, you awaken your inner nature, your comprehension.
• Fully devoted to the great unknown, I never became restless; I had an unshakable faith that my vision would be enlightened, that my speech would be enlightened, that my voice would be invigorated to inspire the intellect that seeks reality.
• The brahma, (God) that you look for so eagerly is within you. By forgetting the distinction between ‘I’ and ‘you’ you will achieve brahma and will yourself, become brahma imbued. The feeling of ‘‘I’’ am brahma (I am that) is very far from the distinction between I and you.
• Sitting in meditation, the seeker becomes a triangular instrument. As a triangular instrument, whatever thoughts come to his mind, appropriate to the time and place, he offers to the Divine Mother. He prays to her. He meditates on her.
• If he has a physical image to meditate on, it is good. If he does not have a physical image of the divine and a special vibration begins to happen in his heart. That vibration remains with him. And, as soon as he sits in meditation posture, whether he meditates or not, whether he prays or not, that special vibration remains with him.
• The prayers and meditations we perform never go to waste. In one form or another they bear fruit and we will achieve the supreme gift of limitless peace and contentment.
• Things become available to people in different places in different ways, depending upon the way in which you make your resolve, and the strength you apply. Often, things happen the way you want them to, and then they are good for you. One can never say exactly how, where or in what form the Divine Mother will bestow her grace on us, or how she will reveal different things to us.
• If we remember the Divine Energy for even a moment while performing our daily activities by stabilizing our mind, by controlling our senses, by staying within ourselves for that moment it will truly qualify as ‘remembering the Divine’. It will bestow tremendous creative energy and insight on us. It is this creative energy, then, that takes us to different places and causes us to meet good people.
• Understand her as the same creative energy that is everywhere, in every form. If one cannot do that, then try to understand her in her different forms. But, definitely try to know her; try to be knowledgeable about her in one form or another. This very effort is devotion, prayer, meditation, and unshakable faith. If this effort is absent we lose so much that could be ours.
• Who do we pray to? We pray to the great unknown, the supreme cosmic force, or we pray to ourselves. We say, ‘‘O myself, if you are in a good state, if you are full of love, then I am not worried about anything’’. Then I do not have any reason to give place within me to thoughts and acts that are ephemeral.
• In a state of deep meditation, the seeker remains absolutely quiet. He lets the vibration, of his heart communicate everything. Within this vibration, the mantra given to him by the Guru resonates. Then, he manages everything in life easily.
• Our inner being should remain constantly with our divinity while we perform our duties with our eyes, nose, mouth and hands.
• O sudharma! Devoted to the unknowable Divinity, you will have explore and experiment in particular ways, because if philosophy alone keeps us, and our understanding, separate away from the truth. Truth and the grace of that unknown Divinity are matters of ultimate practicality.
• Aghoreshwar seekers do not have body oriented intellect or understanding. Their intellect and understanding are spiritually oriented. Because of this, and due to their strong resolve, aghoreshwar seekers can reach the deepest places, the deep understanding of everything. On reaching such a place such seekers become humble, and their voices then express only the best for everyone. They no longer have a place for distorted worlds in their vocabulary; such words do not arise in them.
• Aghoreshwar seekers do not wear specific attire, nor are they confined by caste, class or category. Nor do they have any great concern to fill their bellies. Because lay people do not understand this, they think the Aughar seeker eat anything. This is not so, aghoreshwar seekers take many form for survival.
• It is said, ‘‘for twelve years a seeker lives with the monks to learn to think and speak’’, speech, here, signifies the speech of welfare for everyone. The thoughts of such a person, their aura, their electrical charge, their vibrations are self activated without performing breathing exercises or rituals. They achieve the Divine in the flow of thought itself.
• Know the straight path is the path of the dear isht (the divinity to one’s heart). Dattatreya, Abhinavaguta, king Harshavardhan’s father’s Guru Aghor Bhairavacharya, Kaluram and Kinaram: all these self realized beings achieve success by walking the straight path. If you walk on a crooked path, you may hurt yourself; you might break your limbs; you will become a victim of distortions. You may be trampled by the unwary on the path. All these things are possible.
• The faith and devotion that you show the Divine Mother in her many forms is of utmost importance: she is noon other than that faith itself. By worshipping her, you worship your own faith and devotion outwardly. Faith and devotion arises within you and prompts you to worship.
• I want to be blessed with everyone’s blessings. Whether they be young or destitute, I have respect for everyone. This is the greatest worship. It is this devotion that manifests during the period of navaratri. We performed these rituals in times gone by, we perform them today, and we will perform them in times to come.
• If you are married, observe the principle of one spouse and a disciplined life. Then you will not untoward desires and you will begin to understand the Mother principle. Whatever you undertake then, you will succeed at.
• To achieve the great grace of the supreme soul, cosmic energy, all that we need practice is self control. Performing violent austerities does not qualify one as a true seeker. Maintaining good character and self discipline are the mark of a seeker’s authentic quest. Such a quest has great meaning. In Hinduism people who maintain good behaviour throughout life gain the respect of even brahma, Vishnu, and shiva, as well as other Divine beings. They bow their heads to such a seeker. If one strays from good behaviour, one may beseech the divinities, but they will not come. If one loses self discipline, one cannot follow one’s quest, one will not achieve the company of the Divine.
• True seeker resolve to accept the way of life of great souls. They do not relinquish this resolve under any circum stances. Such seekers worship Mother Lalita. She is the mother of intelligence, knowledge, expression. The voices of seekers of Lalita become so sweet, so beautiful that those who hear them melt at the sound. Such seekers do not say ‘‘we will do this’’ or ‘‘we will do that’’. They remain quiet within themselves. This silence is their biggest seed, their primary teaching.
• In our prayers, in our enunciation of words, in the things expressed by our speech there is great energy. This energy travels throughout the cosmos very quickly. In the same way that modern scientific tools produce vibrations. They vibrate through whole cosmos instantly.
• Amass the wealth of peace, equanimity, non attachment and equal sight.
• Real happiness lies in giving up even giving up.
• Whatever is gone, is gone. Keep whatever you still have.
• Struggle is necessary for success.
• Act according to the inspiration from within. Do not be artificial. Don’t harbour conceit.
