Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
This is true knowledge: to seek the Self as the true end of wisdom always. To seek anything else is ignorance.
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others’ burdens, easing other’s loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of Christmas.
