अथाध्यात्मं यद्देतद्गच्छतीव च मनोऽनेन चैतदुपस्मरत्यभीक्ष्णम् सङ्कल्पः ||
Kenopanishad Part 4 Verse 30
athādhyātmaṃ yaddetadgacchatīva ca mano’nena caitadupasmaratyabhīkṣṇam saṅkalpaḥ || 30 ||
All the teachings and knowledge about Brahman (God) go again and again to Him, but cannot reach Him. Hence the spiritual seeker, with the help of his Pure (calm), Mind, remember Brahmam (God) constantly always. This is the only worthwhile duty.
उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत ।
Katha Upanishad Verse 1.3.14
क्शुरस्य धारा निशिता दुरत्यया दुर्गं पथस्तत्कवयो वदन्ति ॥ १४ ॥
uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varānnibodhata |
kśurasya dhārā niśitā duratyayā durgaṃ pathastatkavayo vadanti || 14 ||
O’ Seekers of Liberation, you please wake up and space out, from Taamasik and Raajsik qualities to Pure Saatwik State. Approach the suitable Guru (Master) and learn the tight Spiritual Knowledge and Practice according to his guidance. The progress to reach the Self may be slow and difficult due to many worldly obstacles, but never give up. Never admit defeat. This is the opinion of the wise Masters.
sarbanana sirogrivah sarvabhuta guhasayah /
sarvavyapi sa bhagaban tasmat sarvagatah sivah // 3.11 //
Svetasvatara Upanishad Chapter 3 Verse 11
God has faces everywhere, heads everywhere, necks everywhere. He resides in the cave of the heart of all beings and He is all-pervading. The Merciful Gracious God reaches everywhere transcending time and space.
May God and Guru Bless, Guide, Protect and Inspire each one of us and the Whole Universe.
With Love and Best Wishes,
