Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Learning to listen to one´s intuition is very important....

"Learning to listen to one´s intuition is very important. It´s very easy too, because whenever you hear your intuition, there is no doubt in it. And the voice of intuition is strong and direct. Very often the mind will rebel against it, but if you take the decision and listen to this intuitive voice inside of you, you will be away from the mind and the mind will surrender itself. Because, the more you listen to the mind, the more your mind will drag you! But the less you listen to your mind, the further you will be away from it! And the easier it will be to realise your Self."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: centre yourself in your heart...

"We like to understand things with our mind, but our mind has a limit. Does the mind understand the heart? It will never understand it. The mind will understand things only when there is a limit to them. If there is a wall where you can bang yourself against, the mind will understand. And then, of course, you will complain about it, because it hurts. Whereas, when you centre yourself in your heart and awaken this Divine Consciousness, Higher Consciousness inside, you will always flow."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:Your mind has to be always busy with the Lord...

"Your mind has to be always busy with the Lord, you know, with God. This is how you will find peace. In this world, nowadays, you see that not many people have this peace, because their mind is not on the right way. People may have everything in this world, but yet if they don’t find peace, if they don’t find happiness inside of them, nothing else on the outside can make you really happy, because whatever happiness brings, whatever is on the outside, and the happiness which comes from the outside lasts only for a short time. After that, again the same drama. So try to find this inner happiness, this inner freedom. And it’s not far away, you know, it's here inside of you."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: whenever a problem arises...

"You see, in this world, people like to hang onto their problems and onto their worries. You see, whenever a problem arises, the solution is also there, but mankind is so easily focusing on the problem rather than on the solution. Do you like problems? No. So then, why do you let yourself be drawn towards your worry? Because it doesn’t give you peace, eh? So, the more you hang ontothe problems, the more problems you will have; the more you hang onto the worry, the more you will not see the solution. But if you take a little bit of time, sit in your prayer room, and sincerely surrender to the Divine, the problem will get solved."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: to truly know the Divine...

"When you have certain knowledge one day you will have to let go even of it, because you don’t Realise God either with ignorance or with knowledge. Knowledge will bring you only to a certain point of Realising the Divine, but to Realise God, to truly know the Divine, you have to cross over everything, go beyond all limitations."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You are there to learn from the teacher...

"When you find a teacher, you go to him, but you don’t pretend to be better than the teacher or to know better than him, because you are there to learn from the teacher. No matter what kind of learning you receive, it is for your own benefit, for your own growth and for your own advancement towards the Divine."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: We could be free, but our mind doesn't let us be free...

"We could be free, but our mind doesn’t let us be free. We can see the Lord everywhere, but our pride always stops us. We can love Him, but our expectation is always there, too. When one let go of these three things, one will be really, fully into Him. Above all, He is the manifestation of Love. He is the manifestation of who we are, all of us. In Him Love is manifested in the outside, in everything that He expresses, in every action of Him."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You have to train your mind to become positive...

"You have to train your mind to become positive. When your mind is positive and you know that the Lord is seated inside and you keep calling Him, there is no chance that He will not reveal Himself inside of you."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Behind all our actions...

"Behind all our actions, behind all this is happening, there is God's Grace. And if we start seeing it in this way, we will be very happy."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Open the door...

"Many people are looking for Him outside, but not within themselves, within in their hearts. And here he is sitting in the heart of man, knocking. He says, "Open the door. Let me out"

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Long before you come here...

"Long before you come here, it’s already said where you have to be, who will be your guide and when it will be that God makes everything possible for you to achieve Him. Actually, you can say it is you, but it is not you at all. It is only Him, because in the core of everything your Atma is only Him."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You are part of God...

"The more you think of yourself being the Spirit, being part of Divinity, the more you will become the Spirit and Divinity."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The goal of life...

"The goal of life is to attain happiness, to attain the eternal bliss. And this is what mankind is here for. The rest is just secondary. But nowadays, people have placed God in the second, even third position, while first vacation is shining beautifully – number one! Misery dresses itself so beautifully that you can get trapped in it. And the moment you get trapped in it, she is happy. Maya Devi is very powerful, because She traps everything, everybody get trapped in it."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: We have to realize this divinity within ourselves...

"All scriptures have said that man is made according to the image of God. So, if man is the image of God, man is part of God. We have just to realize this divinity within ourselves"

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: By trusting in yourself...

"By trusting in yourself, you will trust in God. By loving yourself you will love God and you will love everybody without any conditions, without any judgment. It will just be pure love."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Stop looking for fault in others...

"The moment you stop judging; the moment you stop looking for fault in others, you will start loving everybody truly. And for that, you have to start looking within yourself, looking what you have to change in your life. I’m not saying to judge yourself, but to look at what is the negative part of you and face it."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:God's Grace...

"We forget that behind all our actions, behind all that is happening, there is God’s Grace. And if we start seeing it in this way, we will be very happy. We will find peace in everything, even the worst thing that comes in our life, we will look at it in a different way."

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 more you focus on the body...

"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."

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."
