Wisdom through Baba

  • Live only in the present moment; there is really nothing else. Dwelling in the past brings guilt, and projecting into the future brings fear. Make a firm decision to do this and do not let your mind waver. Only the past conditioning of our minds keeps us prisoners of the past. Break the conditioning that comes from our parents, our education and society and live in the eternal now.

  • The mind is just a collector of information; weighing and measuring, analyzing and categorizing keeps us prisoners of our egos; do not engage the mind; the heart holds the presence of God; the heart is unity, peace, love. & consciousness.

  • Possessiveness--"I and mine" keeps us separated from the Divine. Everything belongs to God.

  • Keep your focus on yourself and not on what anyone else thinks, says or does.

  • Do not judge anything or anyone, especially yourself. Remain as a witness to your own life and the world around you.

  • Let God's will do everything through you; accept every moment and everything that happens as the will of God. Nothing happens without the will of God.

  • Truly speaking, there is nothing outside us. Everything that happens to us and all our perceptions are manifestations of what is inside us. The kingdom of heaven is within (and so is hell). It is up to us.

  • Do not expect anything from anyone. Expectation is the root cause of all human misery.

  • Do everything with your whole heart.

  • If one must speak, speak with love and only from the heart.

  • Every moment is new and fresh and never a repetition of the past. We have ever new opportunities and possibilities. When we release the past and remain as a witness to the present, we experience the divine flow and let God work through us.
