How Far the Study of Scriptures Takes Us?Once a Pundit, very knowledgeable in scriptures and proud of his expertise, asked Sadhu Vaswani, "How far may a study of scriptures (Shastras) help a seeker on the Path?"
Sadhu Vaswani replied thus,"Shastras are studied as an intellectual exercise...their students and masters quarrel among themselves while interpreting their meaning. Can darkness of a room be dispelled by uttering the word, 'lamp' ?
This darkness of the innerself can go only when our ego is overcome and inner 'lamp' is lit through true self-realisation with the help of an illuminated One, who is known as 'Guru.'
(Ref: Sadhu Vaswani's Literature)

Sadhana
is a lifelong process.
Every day, every hour, every minute is an onward march.
Obstacles are innumerable
but there is nothing to worry about if you hold
God as your guide.

HAPPINESS
Happiness does not come automatically. It is not a gift that good fortune bestows upon us and a reversal of fortune takes back.
It depends on us alone. One does not become happy overnight, but with patient labor, day after day. Happiness is constructed, and that requires effort and time.
In order to become happy, we have to learn how to change ourselves.

' I Am the Watcher '...
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say,
"I am the watcher, I am not sadness," and see the difference.
Immediately you have cut the very root of sadness.
It is no more nourished.
It will die of starvation.
We feed these emotions by being identified with them.

PURIFICATION
An uncut gem excavated from a mine will not attain brilliance unless it is cut and polished.
Similarly, the true tapas, the sadhana that a sadhaka performs, will not shine except by the ordeals which are the obstacles to it.
