Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Surrender to your path...

"When you really sincerely dedicate yourself and surrender to your path - surrender to what you really want – you will achieve your aim. The aim is to realize this love that we have inside and to become this love so completely, that every atom in your body radiate this love of God. And this love, you will spread it around always. This love is beyond everything; beyond the mind, beyond the body, even beyond the Spirit itself."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Wherever you are, it's always through the grace of God...

"Wherever you are, it’s always through the grace of God, through the grace of Narayana that you reach your destination. You can try your best to do something - spiritual or material things - it doesn´t matter, but if your heart is not there, you will don’t have the grace of God into it and it will never work. You can try as much as possible, but as long as you have not attained the blessing of the Divine, it will always be incomplete."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The power of the name of God is very strong...

"The power of the name of God is very strong, so: chant! You can do a lot of things, but to control the mind is the most difficult of all as long as you haven´t surrendered it, as long as you have not given it on the altar of God saying to Him, “Here, I surrender my mind to You”. But don´t just say it; mean it when you say it. And the more you mean it, the more you will see that He is right next to you. He is ever ready to pull you out of this illusion and He is giving His hand to you. His hand is always there. When you look at Jesus, His hand is always there, and he says, “Hey, I am here!” Also Narayana says, “Don’t worry, I’m here.” But you have to give your hand to them."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: OM NAMO NARAYANAYA

"The Maha Mantra: ‘Om Namo Narayanaya’, that we always chant; hides a lot into it. It’s one of the main mantras that used to be chanted and it comprises the force, the power of God, in both material and spiritual. So by chanting ‘Om Namo Narayanaya’, one will rise in gaining spirituals benefits, but when you have spirituals benefits, the Lord will take care of your materials benefits too. He will sustain you. You have to have complete trust in Him - you have to have complete trust in yourself. So develop this trust."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Realize that the only path is to love and to be in love...

"When you realize that the only path is to love and to be in love continuously, you realize how much God loves His creation. The same way that God loves, the same way you can also love. All other kinds of love are secondary because mankind is here to become Love.

But to become this Love, you will first have to overcome many obstacles because mankind thinks that Love, God, is something apart from them."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: God is ever looking after everybody...

"God is ever looking after everybody, you have just to trust that He is looking after you, to trust that He is with you all the time, whatever you do; good or bad, He is there! And His love pervades everything. If one percentage of your heart opens up to this Divine love, it’s enough."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Life is about realizing why you are here...

"Very often we forget about the main aim of man, we think that we are here in this world just to comb our hair nicely, to put some make up; make us beautiful or just to work and have a big house, have a big car, have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. But life is not only about that. Life is about realizing why you are here, and who you are. We have an identity in this outside world, but we don’t know who is this identity in reality."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Never lose hope...

"As long as we have not find God, as long as we have not come to the point of God-realization, Self-realization, we should never lose hope, we should never let go of God´s name, we should never let go of whatever we are doing."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Give yourself fully to Him...

"If we give ourselves halfway, God will also give Himself halfway but if we give ourselves fully to Him and call sincerely from our heart to Him, He will respond back to us."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Everything belongs to Him...

"Very often people try to compromise with God, people try to bribe God. It is not possible...or actually; it is very easy to bribe him, you know how? You can bribe Him by loving him, by letting Him steal you heart. You see, often we approach the Divine with such a pride and in an egoistic way. We think that we can give Him everything, forgetting that everything belongs to Him already, and that the only thing, that we can give to Him, is our heart."
