> Dear Devotees,
>
> Welcome to the newcomers in the group! The most exciting journey in
> life is the one towards God-realization. It is enlightening,
> refreshing, satisfying and rewarding. It makes life worth living, and
> this world so beautiful in connection with the Creator. One could
> well say: “When the path is so wonderful, who cares when the goal is
> reached”.
>
> The call of God, which is the strongest call in life, comes to only a
> fortunate few. And if you are amongst those who have received it, you
> are especially blessed to have woken up from the sleep of mundane
> existence for the sake of the body. You cannot now pretend to be
> asleep. So push forward on the path, with enthusiasm and faith.
>
> One of the most important virtues that will stand you in good stead as
> you move ahead towards God, is the intensity of your aspiration. A
> strong aspiration will help you cut through the greatest hindrances as
> a knife cuts through butter. However, if your aspiration is weak,
> then every little obstacle will appear like a mountain to you. So, do
> not remain luke warm; keep the quest for spiritual attainment burning
> brightly.
>
> How can you inflame your aspiration for God? This requires chintan.
> Repeatedly contemplate upon the knowledge that inspired you during the
> lecture series, and the Divine knowledge of the scriptures. Such
> chintan will strengthen your decision: “God alone is mine”. A strong
> decision will be your asset to further steps.
>
> The Vedas describe a formula for progressing quickly on the path.
> They say: Sa yat kaamo bhavati tatkratur bhavati, yat kratur bhavati
> tat karma kurute, yat karma kurute tadabhi nishpadyate.
>
> “The stronger your decision that God alone is mine, the more intense
> will be your desire to meet Him. And the more intense your desire,
> the deeper will be your resolve to do the things that take you closer
> to Him. The deeper your resolve, the harder you will try. The harder
> you try, the more Grace you will attract, and the closer you will come
> to Him.”
>
> So do not allow the aspiration to slacken. Do your sadhana on a daily
> basis. Read “Prem Ras Siddhant” regularly, watch the lecture DVDs you
> have procured, and keep revising the tattvagyan with your intellect.
>
> Please feel free to post your questions in this discussions section.
> Looking forward to meeting many of you during the forthcoming retreat
> in the Pocono Mountains, next weekend.
>
> With best wishes,
> Swamiji
