What is necessary to make our Sadhana successful? Bhagawan most lovingly guides us today so that we may be successful in our spiritual endeavours.

When there is hard rock below, you have to bore deeper for tapping the underground perennial pure water. The softer the subterranean soil, the quicker the success. Make your heart soft; then, success is quick in sadhana. Talk soft, talk sweet, talk only of God – that is the process of softening the subsoil. Develop compassion, sympathy; engage in service, understand the agony of poverty, disease, distress and despair; share both – tears and cheers with others. That is the way to soften the heart, and help sadhana to succeed. Satsang is like quaffing pure crystal water. Dussang – the company of the vicious, the ungodly, the impure – is like quaffing saltwater from the sea; no amount of sugar added to it can make it quaffable! It increases thirst.

– Divine Discourse, May 10, 1969.



If there is anything sweeter than all things sweet, more auspicious than all things auspicious, holier than all holy objects, verily, it is the name of the Lord — or the Lord Himself! – BABA
