Be a True Mental Sannyasin!

Live your life as though you are a true mental sannyasin (renunciate).
Depend on none for anything. Be happy with what is given. What comes to you unasked is what comes from Him. Serve all, at all times, in all ways.

Let not your goodness be a liability on you. Don’t allow others to play pranks on you because of your goodness. Be fully conscious of the weakness and goodness of individuals and the society around you. But in spite of their weaknesses love them!

Live in utter confidence. Never, never hesitate in life to face anything that might crop up when your motives are pure, your goal high and your heart whole in its surrender unto Him.

Love nothing else; every other love ends in painful fits of agony. Hold on to nothing else; everything else is so shaky.

The Lord alone is the softest, warmest and broadest shoulders that can support you when you fall on to It in physical exhaustion, emotional fatigue or intellectual weariness. Tapas (austerity) alone can make us better instruments. Be a tapasvin all life.

Constantly remember Him, and such moments in our life when we felt a real thrill and flow of divinity, and all sacred memories which help us to live in surrender unto Him.
The more we live thus in Him through thoughts, the more we yield to Him to sing His song through us.
