The primary qualification you must acquire is discrimination between the transitory and the eternal.

God alone suffers no change; it alone is Timeless Truth.

You must gain this unshakable conviction and be established in it.

The second qualification is renunciation of the desire to enjoy the fruits of one's actions, here and hereafter.

This is called Non-Attachment.

Non-attachment does not mean giving up hearth and home, spouse and children and taking refuge in forests.

It only involves the awareness of the world as transitory and, as a consequence of this awareness, discarding the feelings of "I" and "mine.

Så lang tid du kan overvældes af frygt og angst, vil du ikke være i stand til at udrette nogen ting.

Vær modig!

Vid at du er Gud, ikke din krop, så vil du være uden frygt.

Gud kan hjælpe dig med at opnå store ting, men kun hvis du baserer dine handlinger på sand viden og forbliver frygtløs.

Elsk Gud med fast hengivenhed og tro, har frygt for synd og udøve moral i samfundet.

Hvis du vil have moral i samfundet, skal du udvikle kærlighed til Gud.

Hvis du elsker Gud, vil du have frygt for synd.

I dag begår mennesker uden syndens frygt grufulde handlinger.

Dette er i modstrid med den sande menneskelige natur.

As long as you are overcome with fear and anxiety, you will not be able to accomplish anything.

Be courageous!

Know that you are the Atma, not this body; then you will be without fear.

God can help you achieve great things, but only if you base your actions on true knowledge and remain fearless.

Love God with steadfast devotion and faith, have fear of sin and practise morality in society.

If you want morality in society, you should develop love for God.

If you love God, you will have fear of sin.

Today people without fear of sin commit heinous acts.

This contradicts the very human nature.

Mennesket er betaget af rigdom, ægtefælle og børn.

Disse hindrer ham i hvert trin og fungerer som handicap for åndeligt fremskridt.

Selvfølgelig er penge afgørende for leve- og arbejdsprocessen, for det kan ikke undgås.

Men ud over en grænse ødelægger rigdom sindet og raser arrogancen.

De skal bruges til gode formål, fremme retfærdighed og trivsel og til at opfylde deres pligter langs den guddommelige vej.

Hvis rigdom er brugt til at realisere flygtige begær, kan de aldrig være nok, og egoet opdager nyere og mere underholdende måder at tjene og bruge.

Man is enamoured of wealth, spouse and children.

These obstruct him at each step and act as handicaps to spiritual advancement.

Of course, money is essential for the process of living and labouring for it cannot be avoided.

But, beyond a limit, riches foul the mind and breed arrogance.

They must be used for good purposes, fostering righteousness and well-being, and fulfilling one's duties along the Divine path.

If riches are spent for realizing fleeting desires, they can never be enough and the ego discovers newer and more heinous ways of earning and spending.

Den guddommelige kærlighed stammer ikke fra fastlandet.

Det vokser ikke fra jorden.

Det har ingen fødsel og død.

Det er altoverskyggende.

Det kommer ud af hjertet, når uvidenhedens knuder er brudt.

Man kan i forskellige termer beskrive de hengivnes tankegang, der er fyldt med Herrens kærlighed, men ikke den Guddommelige kærligheds natur.

Det er en uvurderlig perle, der kun kan opnås fra Gud, som er selve udførelsen af kærlighed.

Divine Love does not originate from the firmament.

It does not grow from the earth. It has no birth and death.

It is all-pervading.

It emerges from the heart when the knots of ignorance are broken.

One may describe in various terms, the state of mind of the devotees filled with love of the Lord, but not the nature of Divine Love.

It is a priceless gem that can be obtained only from God, who is the very embodiment of love.

Da Sri Krishna blev vejet, kunne alle juveler ikke veje tungere end Hans vægt.

Så kom Rukmini og erklærede at den blotte messen af Krishna’s navn kunne balancere sig med Hans vægt.

Ved at lægge et offer til, et blad, en blomst eller lidt vand, så ville vægten være tungere end Krishna.

Idet hun sagde det, lagde hun en basilikum blad på vægten.

Og se! Den gik ned.

Tulasibladet bar den fulde vægt af Rukmini’s kærlighed til Krishna.

Alle juveler var til ingen nytte.

Men påberåbelse af Krishna’s navn og offeret af Tulasibladet med et hjerte fyldt med kærlighed gjorde at vægten nu vejede tungere end Krishna.

Sådan er kraften i Herrens navn og et kærlighedfyldt offer til Herren.

Herren svækkes ikke af rigdom eller uddannelse, magt eller stilling.

Kun Kærligheden alene kan påvirke og bevæge Ham.

When Sri Krishna was being weighed in a balance, all the jewels of Sathyabhama could not balance.

His weight. Rukmini then came and declared that the mere chanting of the name of Krishna would be equal to His weight.

By the additional offer of a leaf, a flower or a little water, the scales will be tilted against Krishna.

So saying she placed a Basil leaf on the scale. And lo! it went down.

The Tulasi leaf carried the full weight of Rukmini's boundless love for Krishna.

All the jewels of Sathyabhama were of no avail.

But Rukmini's invoking the name of Krishna and offering a Tulasi leaf with a love-filled heart titled the scales against Krishna.

Such is the power of the Lord's name and a love-filled offering to the Lord.

The Lord is not swayed by wealth or scholarship, power or position.

Love alone can move Him.

Han er indhyllet i fem hylstre: 1. kroppen - 2. en kappe af livskraft - 3. sindets hylster - 4. intelligensens hylster - 5. den salige kappe af ånden.

De ældgamle skrifter skrev, at hver af disse hylstre er hellige og gennemtrængt af Guddommelighed.
