A treasure in You  In the present world every one craves for wealth.  Do realize there is no treasure equal to contentment and no virtue equal to fortitude.

Do not fear  Don’t be afraid,

Human birth is full of sufferings, and one has to face patiently, taking the nature of God.  Do not be afraid of karma, can be counteracted with prayer.

God alone destines the world  My son, even a blade of grass cannot stir without the will of the God.  It is God alone who expresses his will through the actions of man.  Do remember if a man surrender himself totally at his feet, He will do every thing for him.

How Swami Vivekananda attains every thing

 What powers did Naren ( Swami Vivekananda) have  It was because God acted through him and he achieved what he did.

God alone can  Even impossible becomes possible through devotion.  If one can regard God as one’s own and call him without seeing him, that is God’s grace

God wipes our tears  Pray to God with

tears in your eyes, whenever you want illumination or faced with difficulty,  The god will remove all you impurities, removes your mental anguish, and give you enlightenment.

Go d can c ha nge you r desti ny  When a person takes refuge with God, life's goal changes-- God Himself reverses his destiny.

What is the root of suffering  The desire alone is at the root of all suffering.  It is the cause of repeated birth and deaths.  It is the obstacle in the way of liberation

How you achieve peace  The happiness of the

world is transitory,  The less you become attached to the more you enjoy peace of mind.  The peace lies in real tie with God

Is there a Happiness in the World  There is no happiness

while living in this body. The world is full of sorrow  Happiness is only a empty word  Those who have received the grace of the master can recognize him as God, and that is their real Joy.  Have a child like innocence

What is y ou r d uty  Always do your duty to other, but love you must give to God alone  Do not forget worldly love always brings in its wake untold misery.

Live Carefully …  One should live carefully  Do remember every action produces its results.  Do not use harsh words towards other or be responsible for their suffering.

Be a Human  Be kind to others  How one can be human without kindness.  One’s life is fulfilled when one is able to give joy to another.

Why should we work ..  It is through work alone that may break asunder the bonds of Karma ; only then is one free from desires  One shouldn’t be without work even for a single moment.

Pray t he Mast er Sri Ramak rishna  Follow the Master’s teachings you get everything.  The Master used to say “ He who clings to truth, lies in the lap of God”

Sri Ramakrishna is your own  Pray to Master, he will do everything for you.  He is your own as the moon is the uncle of all children.  Tell him your sorrows with your tears.  You will find he will fill your with desired objects.

Sri Ramakrishna says ..  One who remembers me never suffers from want of food or from other physical privations.  By remembering him one gets rid of all sufferings .

I am with you  I am the mother of the wicked, as I am the mother of the virtuous. Never fear. Whenever you are in distress, say to yourself, 'I have a mother.'"

 "I can never refuse anyone who addresses me as Mother."

Our prayer to Sarada ma..  O Mother of the entire universe and savoir of the world, protector of the devotees who transmits the boon of liberation, Who shows concern for the world but remains ever absorbed in God realization. Salutations unto Thee.

Sarada ma give us  O Sarada, propitious Goddess, killer of misery in souls resigned, Savoir of religion in every age, By saints and sages worshiped, O Mother, kind, Give us love and wisdom, Thou, O Grace incarnate, to Thee we bow.

Sri Sarada ma fulfills her human duty  HOLY MOTHER, in a unique way, fulfilled the duties of wife, mother, and nun. There have been before in the world the ideal wife, the ideal mother, and the ideal nun, but a combination of the three in one person is rare indeed.

Sri Sarada ma fulfills Womanhood  The outstanding virtues of Indian womanhood are courage, serenity, self-control, sweetness, compassion, wisdom, and an intuitive relationship with God. Holy Mother possessed all these virtues. Since the acquisition of such gifts is the dream of all women, Holy Mother may aptly be seen as the symbol of aspiration of women everywhere.“ Swami Nikhilananda
