doing, the chith;

the
SUNDARAM
"My
Mission
is to grant you courage and joy, to drive
away weakness and fear. Do not condemn
yourselves as sinners; sin is a misnomer for
what are really errors, provided you repent
sincerely and resolve not to follow evil again.
Pray to the Lord to give you the strength to
overcome the habits which had enticed you when
you were ignorant."
"Worry,
greed and needless agitation and anxiety, these
cause even bodily disease. Mental weakness is
the biggest cause of disease. Dis-ease is a want
of ease; the contented mind is the best
drug."
"Be
good, be joyful, be bold, be honest, be
temperate, be patient. These are the rules of
good health."
"I
refuse to call anyone an athiest or an
unbeliever, for all are the Creations of the
Lord and repositories of the Grace. In
everyone's heart there is a spring of love, a
rock of truth. That love is God, that truth is
God. Divinity is there in the depths of
everyone's inner being."
"The
Lord is above and beyond all limits of caste and
color, of wealth and poverty; it is foolish to
believe that the Lord asks for this gift or is
angry when it is not offered."
"I
have come to guide and bless those who undergo
the discipline and practice leading to divine
union. I am neither man nor woman, old or young,
I am all these."
"Do
not praise Me. I like you to approach Me without
fear, as a right. You do not extol your father.
You ask for something from him, as a right, is
that not so?"
"You
may be seeing Me today for the first time, but
you are all old acquaintances for Me. I know you
through and through. My task is the spiritual
regeneration of humanity through truth and love.
If you approach one step nearer to Me, I shall
advance three steps towards you."
"I
am happiest when a person carrying a heavy load
of misery comes to Me, for he is most in need of
what I have."
"It
is not mentioned anywhere that the grace of God
is available only for certain classes or races
or grades of people. From the smallest to the
biggest all are entitled to it. The Lord is
everywhere, everything."
"The
world can achieve prosperity and peace only
through such persons whose hearts are pure and
whose minds are free of prejudice and passion,
lust and greed, anger and envy."
"I
have not started the work for which I have come
for I am still in the stage of preliminary
reconnaissance. When I start my campaign the
whole world will know of it and benefit by
it."
"Whensoever
there is the fading of the Dharma and the
uprising of unrighteousness, then I loose myself
forth into birth. For the deliverance of the
good, for the destruction of the evil-doers, for
the enthroning of the right, I am born from age
to age."
