Divine Inspirations..
=================
Desires, when fulfilled, breed further desires and when unfulfilled, lead to further installments of life on earth, in order to calm the urge. The only method by which the delusion of desire can be destroyed is to dedicate all activities to God and engage in them in a spirit of worship, leaving the consequences to Him and ceasing to attach yourselves to them
Meaningful prayer
==============
Meaningful prayer has immense effect.By meaningful prayer, I mean that prayer should be from heart. Just don't repeat some mantras which you don't understand and consider it as prayer. Main ingredient of prayer is inner sentiment. The language to talk with God is the language of the heart. Instead of words, what you mean in your heart is more important.
God is in our heart and when we talk with Him, He hears. Prayer is easy way to talk with God within. It is important that we make prayer a part of our life and pray to God for happiness of all and also, to give us strength and intelligence to be good and do good to others. Yes, we need to control the senses etc. But spirituality starts with doing small things which are within our power to come closer to God. Doing prayers after waking up, before eating food, before sleeping and before important events is easy way to spiritualize our life. This doesn't take much effort.
Parents and people leading a life of gratitude towards God and having sentiments of love, kindness etc will have impact on the children around them and pave the way of spiritual attitude among the younger generation.
Divine quotes
==========
Every little moment or incident results in sound; be it the falling of an eyelid over the eye or the dropping of dew on a petal. The range of one’s ear is limited to what one can hear. Even a poisonous cobra can be quietened by music. Sound (Naadham) has that property. The child in the cradle stops wailing as soon as the lullaby is sung. It may not carry any meaning that the child interprets, but the sound does soothe the nerves and induce sleep. So too, the sound of a Manthra is as valuable as its meaning. The meaning of the Gayathri Manthra, is very direct and profound. It does not ask for mercy or pardon. It asks for a clear intellect, so that the Truth may be reflected therein correctly, without any disfigurement. This can be chanted by people of all times and will help aspirants to intensify their Sadhana and achieve success.
