OM

Your body... it is such a possibility to express through it whatever you choose, or better still, whatever the Divine in you chooses.
Man chooses only indulgences, whereas the body is only for one purpose, - to make it a fit instrument, in the physical environment, for the Divine Force which often would operate through it, and yet is unable to, due to the obstacles: dirty mind and weak nervous system. The body, in itself, is far more innocent than the mind and the vital desire. The body is a good, humble horse - make it work for you.
Instead... your poor mind worships this lump of clay, making it commit atrocious things for which you - (the being) have to suffer much. The mind is either fearful or rigid, the vital desire is either greedy or passionate, - these forces handicap the body and prevent it to be the tool of the Force of Truth and Harmony.
Oh Mother - Thy Will....

OM

Guru Purnima should be the Ideal for every man, regardless of what creed one might be. For, Guru or the Way-Shower is a stepping-stone for an aspirant to come closer to God̓s Perfection... To deny the necessity of the Way-Shower - is to deny the reality of God. Truly, what can we safely say if we haven̓t achieved the spiritual perfection?! How much does our utterance cost? It is only when we truly have our insights that we have a right to pronounce our own feelings about God̓s Perfection, but then, usually, we are not inclined to talk personally.
The safest, the noblest and the quickest way to increase our Wisdom is to bow low to those who awaken our hearts and who lead us from Darkness to Light. Even great adepts bow to their Ideals, what then could be said about ordinary aspirants who do not have any insight into life, who are not established in deeply contemplative practices and who are so fluctuative?!
Let us bow our heads...

Om Sri Sivanandaya Namaha.
