Dada J. P. Vaswani's Philosophy and Teaching – What Life
Has Taught Me?
·
In the endless
adventure of existence, God and man are comrades. God is our one unfailing
companion. He will never leave us. We may try to run away from him. But he will
continue to follow us as our own shadow. In the words of Thompson, he is the
“Heavenly Hound.”
·
There is a meaning of
mercy in everything that happens to us. For God is All-love. He is All-wisdom.
He is too loving to punish, too wise to make a mistake. Whatever happens in the
Divine Providence happens for our own good. Nothing happens a moment too early
or too late…..therefore wherever God takes us, let us go, wherever he keeps us,
let us remain. Let us never forget that all is well, all was well, all will be
well both tomorrow and a hundred years hence.
·
When man surrenders
himself to God, He takes upon Himself his entire responsibility. All we need to
do is to hand ourselves over, in childlike trust to the Lord. And the angels of
God will go ahead of us to clear the way.
·
Thought is a
tremendous force in the life of any individual. Thoughts shape our attitudes.
Attitudes mould our character. Character influences our life. By changing our
thought pattern, we can change our life.
·
Problems and
challenges are not a dead end; they are only a bend in the road. Problems are
not stumbling blocks; they are stepping stones to a better, richer, more
radiant life. Not un-often, problems become the door through which God enters
our life. We have surrounded ourselves with hard shells which keeps God away
from us. Problems crack the shell and God easily enters our lives.
·
Neither rites nor
rituals, neither creeds nor ceremonies are needed to improve the condition of
the world. All that is needed is to love one another.
