Shri Shri Ravi Shankar

• A Guru does not simply stuff you with knowledge, but He kindles life force in you.
• The Divine has given you all the small pleasures in the world but has kept bliss to Himself. To get the highest bliss, you have to go to Him and Him alone.
• Like weather, time has its own impact on you. Your sadhana and satsang are your shields, your protection.
• Just one spark of beauty in wakefulness, in the awakened state, manifests as knowledge, as wisdom.

 "PASAYDAN"

Now, 'O' God, The entire Cosmos Divine | Be pleased with this pious word offering of mine ||

Grant me in good will benign | Your Benevolent Grace Divine ||1||

May the evil minded, their wickedness shed | May their intellect turn to pious and good deeds

instead ||

May all living beings find themselves bonded | By friendly ties of soul companionship ||2||

May the darkness of ignorant disappear | May the universe see the Sun of self consciousness ||

May whatsoever aspirations of those be fulfilled | Of all living beings ||3||

May shower all over the pious bliss Divine | May the world be full of Saintly beings benign ||

May incessantly in the Universe | Meet the living beings ||4||

Moving groves of wish granting trees | Colonies of conscious wish fulfilling jewels ||

These saints are, speaking oceans | Full of pious Nectarly Divine ||5||

A Moon without a smear | A Sun without a hot sear ||

Always to one and all, these hallowed saints | Become kith and kin dear ||6||

Let all beings be completely satisfied and happy | Fully contented in all the three world ||

Engrossed and merged in devotion | Eternally, of ultimate Divine ||7||

And those who live by this scripture Divine | Eternally guiding all living beings ||

Be victorious over seen unforeseen | In this world and beyond ||8||

Here, said, the lord of the Universe | This shall become thy Grace Divine ||

And with this blissful Grace Divine | Jnandeva became ever joyous and happy benign ||9||
