Spiritual Reminders

Simple teachings from spiritual masters, for life changing results.

[spiritualreminders]

Work performed with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done in a state of calmness. Equanimity--the serene mental state free from likes and dislikes, attractions and repulsions--is truly the ideal attitude in which to live your life. To be in this state of mind is to be lodged in the Divine. Pitiful are those pulled by the fruits of their action.

The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, Verse 49)

"There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you."

Paramahansa Yogananda

[spiritualreminders]

Arjuna, I will now enumerate the marks of the devotee I most dearly love. I love the one who harbors no ill will toward any living being, who returns love for hatred, who is friendly and compassionate toward all. I love the devotee who is beyond 'I' or 'mine,' unperturbed by pain and not elated by pleasure, who possesses firm faith, is forgiving, ever contended and ever meditating on Me.

The Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12, Verse 13-14

[spiritualreminders]

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success
