Divine Messages - 263 : Words of Wisdom by Dada J P Vaswani.

Some words of wisdom by Dada J P Vaswani.

• It is never too late to turn back to God. What is needed is sincerity, cooperation of the mind and an intensity of faith.
• Hatred is a fire which keeps burning within the heart: it burns away all your happiness.
• The man who does his duty and a little more is the one who achieves success in life.
• Anger always wounds the one who is angry - Passion burns up the soul that contains it.
• With the healthy sense of humour you can confront the most difficult of situations and come out unscathed.
• Would you be truly independent? Then learn to depend upon God – and the Guru!
• The Guru loves all: but he who loves the Guru and surrenders himself to Him, serving Him day and night, will attain to the Highest!
• Guru is the 'Inner Prompter', who makes us aware of the presence of God within us.
• Hurry is the number one cause of tension. Slow down your pace!
• How true it is that God is the controller of the destinies of individuals and nations. How then can anything go wrong?
• Love and fault-finding never go together, the more you love, the less you judge

Some words of wisdom by Mother Teresa.

• If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
• Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
• The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
• We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
• Words which do not give the light of God increase the darkness.
• Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
• Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
• Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
• If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
• Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

Some words of wisdom by Mother Teresa.

• I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
• Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
• Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
• Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
• We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
• Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
• If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
• Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
• Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
• Peace begins with a smile.

Some words of wisdom by Dada J P Vaswani.

• Unconditional love is the love that gives you the freedom to be your own self 
• Against the background of the sorrows of others, your own appears so small.
• Learn to smile all the time. Laughter has therapeutic value.
• Slogans don't build a nation, it is character that builds a nation.
• Seek to love God not with the intellect but with all your heart. Make your heart empty of everything, and the Lord will fill it with His Love
• Peace of mind is your richest treasure. See that you do nothing which may rob you of your peace of mind. Regulate your life in such a way that it adds to your inner calm and does not take away your peace
• He findeth peace who accepts life as it comes!
• Is it true? Is it harmless? Is it useful? These are the three questions we must ask ourselves before we speak
• The past is over and gone. Therefore, release it once and for all. Let go! Let go!
• Fear is a great foe of man.
• Without love the world is like a neglected garden where no flowers bloom!

Divine Messages - 259 : The Beauty of Gratitude

The Beauty of Gratitude – Appeared in the Speaking Tree.

Beauty has many aspects. Gratefulness is one such aspect of beauty. You feel grateful when you don’t feel a sense of lack. You cannot be grateful and feel lack. Perhaps you can experience both, but at different times.

When you feel lack, grumbling begins from some corner within. For those who do not have this knowledge, there is no way out of their grumbling. They feel some lack today and tomorrow, they feel something else is lacking. There is no end to it. Your mind doesn’t think clearly; neither does it function properly.

That is why Jesus said, “Those who have will be given more. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them.” If you are grateful, more things will flow to you. And when you complain and grumble, even what little joy, peace or love you have come into this world with, will be lost.

This explains why grandmothers in India have a habit of saying, “Everything is full.” If something is empty, they never say, “We don’t have this.” They will say, “We have a lot of this.” When you feel full in the mind; then ‘plenty-ness’ grows.

Not having is just an attitude; it’s the direction you are moving in. You sow the seeds and they grow. If the seed itself is a seed of lack, only lack will grow. Open your eyes and see what you have been given! In that gratefulness, everything grows, life grows.

Love is at its peak when there is no demand, no craving for it. If you want to be close to someone, first begin to feel that they are already close to you. Whenever you ask people whether they trust you, you already doubt their trust. There is no end to being convinced of someone’s love for you, someone’s trust in you.

Gratefulness comes with knowledge. Knowledge that the Divine loves and cares for you, that is why He created this beautiful universe. Feel grateful about whatever Nature has bestowed upon you. Have faith that this entire Creation loves you. When you have faith, life becomes full.

Be grateful and see how everything flows to you.
