It is only when you follow the three-fold path of Shravana, Manana and Nididhyasana; understand the nature of the three gunas (sattva, rajas and Tamas); visualise the forms of the Holy Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshvara), and recognise the transience of the three worlds, that you can get the eternal bliss of the Atma. (SSB 1979, p. 127)
Visualise the unity among all beings and conduct yourself
with compassion in your heart.
With intense yearning contemplate on God at least once in a day.
Only then can you have the vision of God.
God does exist, but He cannot be seen by naked eye.
He can be seen only when you get rid of world delusions.
What is the state of man today?
He is overjoyed when he has wealth
And grief- stricken when he loses it.
He indulges in pomp and show and loses everything in the process.
He conceives of dubious ways and means.
Just as earth revolves around the sun, he revolves around money. (Telugu poem)
