FORMULA FOR A COMPLETE LIFE
6 December 2009, Vidyanagar
A satsangi youth asked Swamishri for ashirwad on his birthday. Swamishri replied, “You must keep God (in your life) and do your work properly. These two things encompass everything.” Faith and devotion to God and fulfilling our duties and responsibilities in life are Swamishri’s mantras for a complete and satisfied life.
FOUR DISCIPLINES FOR STUDENTS
8 December 2009, Vidyanagar
BAPS kishores from the Akshar Purushottam Chhatralaya (APC) were waiting in the morning for Swamishri’s darshan. When Swamishri arrived he blessed and inspired the teenagers, “All of you study well, do bhajan, do puja daily and abide firmly by the moral rules and disciplines (niyams).”
TRUE PROGRESS

After finishing his puja, Swamishri stopped to explain the meaning of progress to some APC students. He said, “Firstly, it is very important to obey niyams. Then, after completing your studies, whether you live here or go abroad, you must not allow any type of addiction in your life. Don’t do anything that is wrong. Do bhajan regularly. Remember Maharaj routinely. Practice the principles of satsang and inspire them in others too. And whatever you’ve gained here through satsang, teach it to others. After coming into satsang true progress lies in advancing ahead.”
Swamishri revealed the essence of true progress to the youths.
