Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:Train your mind to focus on God...


"Train your mind to focus on God, train your mind to focus on your Self. Take any divine name, take any divine aspect and keep chanting the name till you realize that you are one with this name. It’s not a name apart from you, but it’s the name of your own Self."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: This body will go back to earth...

"You think that you are just this body - and very often you focus only on the body- so what happens? The more you focus on the body, the more you have pain and the more you are miserable, because the reality gets covered, becomes shadowed. And when this reality gets covered, of course it brings pain. This body will go back to earth and it will go back to the same five elements it used to be. But if this is the reality, if the body is the only reality, then what is God? Where is the Divinity? This great energy that makes the body work, that makes the body act, is the Spirit and it’s who you really are."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The same way God loves, the same way you can love also...

"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 others 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: I have come to help you...

"I have come to help you, to give something, which is very simple, for attaining this state of Bliss. It’s through meditation, actually. We breathe every day so many times. How many times do we realize how important is this breath? Not many times, because it´s so normal, isn´t it? It´s a routine; it happens automatically. So if you really want to realize God, try to meditate."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: What our soul wants...

"To focus outside brings expectation, and expectation brings misery and pain. All kind of expectation brings pain, because the real things that our soul wants is the true love of God."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You have to be disciplined...


"To be good in meditation, to be good in your spiritual path, you have to be disciplined. It is not a pressure, it is not forcing. It has to come from deep within your heart. It has to be out of love."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: God is always with you...

"All your searching towards the outside is of no use, because at the end you realise that He’s always with you, deep in your heart. God is always with you. It’s like the ocean where you have lots of precious gems. To get them, you have to dive into the ocean and go deep inside. So, God lies deep in the heart of man. With your mind you have to dive, dive deep within your heart, because over all are the waves of illusion."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Stop looking at the negative...

"Stop looking at the negative. It’s only through being positive that it can stop. It’s only when you start looking at this positivity and start thinking about yourself positively, that you will dive deep inside this ocean then your heart will open up."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Chant his name and control the mind...


"Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, keep your mind fixed on God and chant the divine names. This will help you to open up your heart. Chanting the divine name is the most efficient way of controlling the mind. Look at any religion: Christianity does the “heart prayer”, Hinduism has the japa mala, and Muslims have the rosary. So the name of God is very important, and it’s very easy and very simple. Why to complicate it? Why try to complicate things when God has given us the easiest thing? By chanting His name, you feel so close to Him."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: A master can show you the way...


"You can go to a master and the master can show you the way, but it’s upon each one of you to really desire God, to really yearn for God, because as long as you don’t yearn for God, as long as you don’t really want God, you will be always searching. You will always be putting one foot in one place and the other foot in another."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Happiness...


"If you ask God: “Lord, give me happiness”, do you think He will refuse you? He will not. He will give it to you, freely. But it`s up to you to maintain the happiness. It`s up to you to keep this happiness and let it grow."
