Love's Pearls of Wisdom

by Mahavatar Babaji

Study this Proverb and Gain Wisdom

“One wants to have one’s cake and eat it too!"

This proverb, or figure of speech, is applicable to one
who wishes to do Sadhana and Seva (having the cake)

and then to enjoy the fruits, thereof. Man does this by
allowing the ego and pride to expand and, thereby, to
“eat the cake too.” A true Sadhaka, who goes to the
finish line of enlightenment, learns to “have one’s cake,”
(the Sadhana and Seva) and to offer the fruits, thereof,
to the Divine in Love and gratitude for his life, which is
truly a part of the Divine Itself (the ego-self not eating the
cake,the fruits). Through the Grace of God obtained at
enlightenment, the Sadhaka, one doing Sadhana and
aspiring to enlightenment, becomes a Siddha, a purified,
Enlightened One. So Let It Be that you understand this
proverb and apply it to your Sadhana and Seva.

Swami Vishwananda: Here I Am

Swami Vishwananda: Meditate and sing the name of God. There are many ways you can reach the light. Like all the rivers flow back to the same ocean, the same is within all of you. All of you will flow back to the same ocean.

Do you want liberation? Make liberation strong in your mind. Make it strong deep inside your heart. Let it reach fulfillment outside. You are this light. And you all can merge back into this light. You have to want it very, very strongly. It has to be the most important thing in your life.

One day you will surrender completely, saying: “Open my heart; here I am. I surrender to You. My body, mind and soul are Yours! Do whatever you want to do." First you should realize love for your own self. Start loving yourself but not in an egotistic way. Some people think loving one’s self is very egoistic. To love the Self is not to love the body. Loving one’s self is transcending the physical aspect. Through love, you will develop trust and patience. If you have these three: love, trust and patience, you have everything else.

And one day you will surrender completely, saying: "Open my heart; here I am. I surrender to you!

It is of the utmost importance on the spiritual path to be sincere in your seeking.

SWAMI VISHWANANDA - BELOVED GURUDEVA

ON FAITH – Sri Swami Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji

Have faith that what you are hearing within your heart is true. As long as you do not believe in what the Divine wants to show you, you will not advance. The moment you sincerely have faith in what you feel inside your heart, it will manifest in the outside world. You have within you the willpower of construction that comes from the constructive willpower inside the mind.

Sri Swami Vishwananda

The River of Life runs deep and true
To the nature of the atma within.
Life is never easy it seems to man,
Until he attunes to the heart within.

You want life to be easy?
Go within and find the answers to
All questions therein.
Then take this into all of life's situations...
And life, you will find, is easy then.

Do you want the Gold in life?
Have faith, my friends,
Your golden treasure lies within the heart.
Amen!

Mahavatar Babaji,

Ever your friend

Note - may be of interest to some of you: In meditation I was sitting with Babaji on the banks of the Sacred Ganges River in India. After meditating for awhile, my mind wondered what I might post on today's blog. I saw a rectangle of white light with bright gold around the edges. Then Babaji transmitted the above little poem on having faith that your golden treasure is within the heart. I then added a quote from Swami Vishwananda on faith and entered the blog for today. After I posted this entry I looked at some of the Swami Vishwananda blogs and Swami VishwaVijayAnanda had posted an entry on the "Experiences Blog" about faith and Swami Vishwananda. It seems Babaji placed the idea into my mind to post on faith today as we sat on the banks of the Ganges in meditation. For sure, Babaji knew of Vijaya's earlier post. I very much enjoy putting the pieces of the Masters' puzzles together. Do you? -Utpalavati

THE BELOVED's FACE

Beloved One

This sensitivity can manifest itself also as being painful. It's not really painful, but it’s a longing for the Beloved One. The Saints know about it. Their hearts pain to be with the Divine. They cry for it. Read the life of St. Francis. Do you know how much he was crying always? But it does not have to be intensive always like that. Right now we are talking about the pain of love, but St. Francis also had great joy.

Swami Vishwananda

The Beloved's Face

Never shall I forget
the Beloved’s unfathomable face.
This face greets you in Darshan blessing,
Eternity reflected in brilliant, luminescent eyes.
His beautiful, ethereal face smiles
With pure love and beauty Divine,
As his mysterious, ancient, wise eyes
Look into your vulnerable, priceless and
Naked atmic soul.

The Beloved clears karmic samsaras
From Earth-bound souls,
Who still wander in time and space,
Chained to the natural restraints
Of Earthly pleasures and woes,
Riding the winds of time out of mind
Following gurus and teachers galore.
“Now is the time to blow a kiss to the winds of time,
And free yourself to dwell in Eternal Time,”
His loving voice echoes in your longing heart:
“Come . . .Come… Come Home,
Evermore to dwell In Eternal Time
With Me, and Thee, and The Divine,
Manifesting the triumphant,
Magnificent three-in-one.”

Know ye that now in your time,
Shiva is standing up
from Cosmic Meditation
In the great and grand Himalayas?
Be ready,
Because when Shiva is on his feet,
Many dimensions stand alert.
Shiva’s action of destruction
And Vishnu’s sustaining regeneration begins, again,
and
You stand…also... in jeopardy
Of winning or losing your chance, now,
For either
Attaining or temporarily forgetting, again
Your cosmic, Eternal Home.

Ommmmmmmmm,
Even as all this is birthing new life in
The prophesied Golden Era to come,
Never shall I forget
The Beloved’s beautiful, enigmatic face.
So…let it be…Love Forevermore…

Amen and Om.

-Utpalavati-

Poetry must be embraced with the heart to fully appreciate and be one with it. The mind will judge and doubt. The Beloved, God and Enlightenment are also like this--Realization comes from the heart rather than the mind! -Utpalavati

MANTRA:
Madana Mohana Murari haribol haribol haribol

Translation: For being more attractive than cupid you have stolen my heart, Beloved.

MODANA MOHANA MURALI

Only a Few WIll Attain Me

In the “Bhagavad Gita,”Krishna said: “Out of a million, only a few will attain me. We hear things, yet, we still are deaf. Why? We choose deafness, because we don’t want to change. We say, “Yes, we want to change.” In reality, very few really and sincerely want to change!

Babaji Speaks of Gingerbread Construction - Metaphor of Man's Evolution

Letter From Mahavatar Babaji:

Gingerbread is bread which has been flavored with the healing herb, ginger. In itself, ginger is a catalyst for bringing out the many health benefits in other herbs. There is an ancient saying in India: “There is no tincture that is not imbued with the catalyst of ginger.” God gives the ginger for the health balancing within man’s physical form. Man has taken this Divine gift of ginger one step further and made the wheat grain infused with the healthy ginger. In addition, man has added much white sugar and also has used white flour in his gingerbread which also has had healthy parts removed to make the flour appealing to the eye and white in appearance. This white sugar is an addictive substance with unhealthy properties if taken in large quantities. Thereby, man has made gingerbread, which pleases the taste buds, without regard for nutrition and feeding the cells of the body for energy and well-being. If you choose foods with white sugar and white flour, please do so with extreme moderation. This is best for the physical form.

Like this, man has taken the spiritual tenets of old and added new properties, as well as removed some of the original, like the white sugar which is not healthy in great quantities, as evolution has progressed through time. This ending of the Kali Yuga and the destruction Shiva is bringing to man’s attention in nature, health, man’s political arena, economic and natural disasters of present-day are a part of the balancing of evolution of man throughout time on Earth. These “signs of the times” are like a star that has seemed fixed for centuries is now proven by scientists to seem to be moving in the eyes of man as he gazes heavenward. The magnetic poles of the Earth are shifting and the effects are being experienced by all of you.

Be loving, patient and tolerant of what needs to be happening in your world and within yourself at these changing times, physically, environmentally and spiritually and in every way that the “signs of the times reflect.” Be loving with each other in your world family always. Cultivate Trust in the Divine even in the face of danger and destruction. Do not fear! Be conscious that there is Shiva's destruction before regeneration can emerge!

This is a sign of spiritual progress when you can do as Christ and Krishna taught:

“Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you. Love your enemies and do good to them that persecute you!”

Master Christ Jesus

Wherever is Krishna, the lord of yoga; and wherever is Arjuna, the archer; there will be everlasting prosperity, victory, happiness, and morality.

Love's Pearls of Wisdom by Mahavatar Babaji

Apples, in the decaying stage, contaminate the whole container of fruit. Remember to have your dictum be: I will eliminate, one by one, the samsaras of accumulated negative karmic experiences from my container, the temple of the Most High Lord, until my mind and temple are purified fully. Thereby, I may serve the Lord through whatever He deems to be my destiny, dharma and service.

I am Babaji, your true servant,

Mahavatar Babaji

Don't Worry Be Happy

As you can see from this picture the child in the wheelchair is handicapped, yet the eyes and the mouth are smiling. Swami Vishwananda confirms that the child is authentically happy.

Speaking of children in Kenya in a "home," many of whom are handicapped, Swami Vishwananda said:

This is a home for children. I tell you something, when you look at their eyes, there’s so much joy in them. When they smile, it’s truly from the heart. It’s not just for the sake of smiling, but really from deep within them that their smile comes and you really feel it. -Sri Swami Vishwananda
