Always remembering Devi

No purpose is served in trying to decide now what the final state of Realization will be. How can intellect decide the nature of the final state of Realization?

Vira Chandra

Grace takes us to the Guru. Grace shows us the way home by guiding us in the right direction, but we still have to do the work ourselves.

Vira Chandra

Why is there so much suffering in the world and so few attain the vision of God and are liberated?

Vira Chandra

Great effort is needed in the beginning, like for a rocket to leave the Earth; afterwards Path becomes straight and efortless

Vira Chandra

You should not complain about others and have an attitude of finding faults with other people

Vira Chandra

If Realization is partial, it is not Realization, and if it is Realization, it is not partial.

Vira Chandra

Personal God surely exists. If you laugh that God has organs such as ears, nose etc. - why don’t you laugh at yourself for having them
