Dada J. P. Vaswani's Philosophy and Teaching – What Life
Has Taught Me?
·
When all around us
the storms blow and the tempests roar, let us close our eyes, think of God and
repeat the words “God is with me-and He is in control.” Those are words of
power and can quell the fiercest storm.
·
No man can attain to
enlightenment by his own efforts. Enlightenment cometh to man by the grace of
God. Strive for enlightenment – yes. But like the peasant who tills the soil
and sows the seed – then turns to the heaven for chaandi ka gola (the silver drops
of rain)
·
The greatest illusion
which man suffers from is perhaps the illusion of death. In reality, there is
no death. Death is very much like the sunset. When the sun sets here, it has
already risen elsewhere. Likewise, death here is birth elsewhere. For life is
eternal.
·
The greatest
intoxication is that of the ego. The worst madness is that of anger. The person
who is free from arrogance and anger finds goodness and beauty wherever he
goes.
·
Has someone offended
you or insulted you? Insults are like bad coins. You cannot avoid them, but you
can refuse to accept them.
·
The test of a man is
– how much he can bear and how much he can share and how soon he confesses a
mistake and makes amends for it.
