It Seems to me a travesty that the so called spiritual people who go to swamiji lectures on kindness, compassion , right conduct etc etc.
Are the very people who treat their servants badly, waste litres of ghee on ritual, call their servants caste names
I could go on and on but i think i have made my point.

If you wish to see God

If you really wish to see God, do not fall at the feet of the stone idol in the temple,
Instead fall at the feet of your servant.

If you really want to pray to God

Prayer

arunganapathy — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:30:56 +0000

I went this evening to the shiva temple near my house
the aarti was going on.
The adults and elders were inside praying
They prayed for wealth and health and their welfare and their childrens’ welfare.
They prayed for tommorow and for day after tomorrow and for the day after that.
Their brows were knitted, their faces worried and none of them had a smile on their face.
Outside on a bench , a group of children played
Some were naughty, some were quiet , some were extra naughty
They pulled each others caps and they made faces at each other , one of them threw a banana peel in the air.
Another said he would pull the others’ pants down and make them nanga ( Naked)!

Each one smiled
None of them thought about tomorrow.
It was enough to play today.
When you are in front of God be like the child

Why do you pluck flowers and throw it on God in the name of religion?
Is religion not leaving the flower where it is?

God is–

God is what you have
God is what you don’t have.

To those who want proof of

I do not know who God is. But i know this, one moment i am in imagining that i am on a beach, the next moment i have a silly thought, a third moment i am singing, the next , pained. Yet i manage to make my breakfast, do my work and move from one room to another without hitting anything on the way — if something WHOLE werent guiding us , how else can we manage to get through a day with all these inconsistencies.

God is easier to deal with

God is easier to deal with than man.

Teach people stupid things

arunganapathy — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:31:16 +0000

IT is my experience, that if you teach
people stupid things they will believe you
and buy what you say. Teach them sense
and they will scoff at you and think you are a
fool.
Such is this world. Teach it stupidity if thats
what it understands.

for a secure life tomorrow.

A representative called me today and asked me to invest in a platinum pension plan for a secure life tomorrow.
When today is so insecure, how can you be secure tomorrow i asked. She laughed. dont invest in tomorrow. it is enough to laugh today.
