Education
Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man, and character is the test of that manifestation.

Spiritual Education is primary for each Soul.

Is freedom always a consequence of a free choice?
Is freedom always a consequence of a free choice?
Only is one real free choice as freedom!
Freedom not connected with free choice,
because this is not freedom if we have free choice!
Freedom not connected with mind, only with soul!
Free choice usually connected with mind, only as freedom with soul!
May God Bless Your Soul

So thou in Thy devotee,
Oh! Guheshvara.

You have that which transcends Nada, Bindu, Kala.
"Oh! tell me who you are
Who lean upon your palm
Your sad disheveled head
And thread the pearls of tears.
The word they speak
Is the effulgent Linga;
The sound they make
Is the Supreme law.
When palate and lips
Conspire in the mouth,
You have that which transcends
Nada, Bindu, Kala.
Listen, Oh! fool!
Guheshvara's devotees.
Even though they speak,
Are immaculate!

Samslesha (elation by union) and vislesha (depression by separation)
This element of suffering as revealed in the pangs of separation, receives an added momentum in mysticism and mystic poetry. The two moods of mystics, namely Samslesha (elation by union) and vislesha (depression by separation) are beautifully depicted in Prabhu’s sayings. The mood of Samslesh recalls the elephant’s intoxication rallying in a rut. Prabhu says that there is a peculiar charm in an elephant’s intoxication rallying in a rut (Aneya mada bedagu). When an elephant is affected with rut it becomes so intoxicated by self consciousness that it forgets for a while the external world. The fear of goad that often haunts the elephant is absent and is replaced by the alternate emotion of joy. Similarly, when the mystic reaches the state of ecstasy, all sense and feeling of duality disappear. In that ecstatic state, the mystic undergoes an unique experience; an experience that destroys all norms and remnants of egoism and the spirit soars to the sublime bliss.
Fling not Oh Cupid, fling not thy arrow!
How canst thou burn one
Who is already burnt
By the pangs of separation from
Guheshwar.
This saying of Prabhu brings into bold relief the mood of Visleasha. It is in the pangs of separation that divine sorrow overtakes the human soul. The very memory of sorrow is a gentle benediction that broods over man; like the stillness that comes after a dedicated prayer. It is the veiled shadow of sorrow that plucks away one thing after another hobbling and binding men with a sense of ease and security. Yet the vanishing of these beloved objects reveal the abode ofd their affection and peace of mind. Out of the burring fire of separation, emerge the strongest souls. Martyrs have set their coronation robes glittering with fire and their tears have shown the gates of Heaven to the sorrowful. Thus, sorrow is the initiator that ushers man into the life of the spirit. Huntington’s beautiful remark is worth noting: "Sorrow is our John the Baptist, clad in grim garments with rough arms, a son of the wilderness, baptizing us with bitter tears, preaching repentance and behind comes the gracious, affectionate, healing Lord, speaking peace and joy to the soul."

Everywhere He is!
Everywhere He is!
Unimaginable the light in the eye!
Indescribable the ring in the ear!
Incomparable the taste on the tongue!
Immeasurable the peace
Of the inconceivable central nerve!
Everywhere you will find Him:
In minute particles of dust,
In the hard wood,
Or tender blade of grass,
Everywhere He is!
The subtle, the imperishable, the unchanging
Guheshvara!

Excellent life's stories: 19 Horses
19 Horses
One rich man owned 19 horses when he died. In his last will and teastament he had written that upon his death, half the horses he owned should go to his only son; one fourth to the village temple and one fifth to the faithful servant. The village elders could not stop scratching their heads. How can they give half of the 19 horses to the son? You cannot cut up a horse. They puzzled over this dilemma for more than two weeks and then decided to send for a wise man who was living in a neighbouring village.
The wise man came riding on his horse and asked the villagers if he can be of any help to them. The village elders told him about the rich man's last will and testament which stated that half of the (19) horses must be given to his only son, one fourth must go to the temple and one fifth to the faithful servant.
The wise man said he will immediately solve their problem without any delay whatsoever. He had the 19 horses placed in a row standing next to one another. Then he added his own horse as the 20 th horse. Now he went about giving half of the 20 horses รข€" that is ten horses to the son. One fourth of 20- that is 5 horses were given to the temple committee. One fifth of twenty- that is 4 horses were given to the faithful servant. Ten plus five plus four made 19 horses. The remaining 20 th horse was his own which he promptly mounted, spoke a few inspiring words, and rode back home.
The villagers were simply dumfounded, full of disbelief and filled with admiration. And the parting words of the wise man were inscribed in their hearts and minds which they greatly cherished and passed on to their succeeding generations till today.
The wise man said: In our daily lives, in our daily affairs, simply add God's name and then go about facing the day's happenings. Ever come across problems in life that are seemingly insurmountable? (Like the villagers, do we feel that such problems cannot be solved?).
The wise man continued: Add the God Principle in our daily lives and the problems will become lighter and eventually will disappear. In the manner of the ice which, with the addition of the heat principle will turn into water, and that will eventually evaporate as steam and disappear. And how do we add God's name in our daily lives? Through prayers, filled with true love and devotion with sincerity of purpose and dedication that only total faith can bring about. Meditation is a powerful means of directing the mind Godward.
But without true love and devotion entering into it, it remains like a boat without water. It is not difficult to push a boat that is floating in water, but extremely hard to drag the same boat on dry land.
In the same way, if our life's boat floats on the waters of true love and devotion, we can sail easily in it. The principle of love of God and devotion with total faith, (like water) makes easy the voyage of our lives. When the mind is pure and the heart full of simplicity and holiness, such a devotee becomes an instrument in the service of the Lord.

Excellent life's stories: Short Story with a beautiful message
Here is a short story with a beautiful message...
Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."
The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."
"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.
"There's a big difference," replied the little girl."If I hold your hand and something happens to me,chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.
So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.
This message probably and you receive few times, but I add my first feeling and share with you one more.
Please God hold us in each our action, so that is only bridge between You and us.

Soul haven't any ownership!
Soul haven't any ownership!
Each body have only one owner, this first owner is and only last owner. You never be owner any your body. You real haven't any body in any life.Physical body from Earth and you must return Earth!
You have only temporary earthly body. You, and eat, and drink, and breath ,and change many atoms on this way. And you get energy from many inorganic and organic form, and spiritual form, and all this must be return all owners!
Next and very crucial point is: your parents "give" you body and serve "your" body. You must return and for this "your" body two bodies and serve two bodies. This is karma/sin/action level. This is valid all time for each life and body.Only several Gurus can real help. Soul have advance next 7 mothers and 7 fathers (and many in previously lifes). All involved must be satisfied and receive what you must be return them. This is usually impossible for soul and many Gurus! Many Gurus haven't and ideas and divine power for truly help soul.
Other side soul river is this divine choice:
Soul can have (from one day) and Divine Body ( Atma Body - Vyomakaya Body) which depend of truly efforts through blessings for this divine achievement!
Best when God give all, and then must all return only God!
Best when serve God on many His ways!
Thanks Gurudev for this knowledge!
