Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: surrender your mind to the Lotus Feet of God...

"By feeding our mind, we always stay in the mind consciousness, in the mind level. And don’t think that you will ever be able to understand and Realise your True Self with your mind. It is only when you surrender your mind to the Lotus Feet of God that you will really release yourself from this bondage, from all this suffering. Then you can say “God, here I am. I surrender to You without anything. Help me; pull me out of this illusion.”

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: surrender to the feet of God...

"The only way you can really un-trap yourself is to surrender to the feet of God, you know, and really say “Lord, take me.” Know that God is compassionate. He will hold you and He will carry you and He will always send help for you. That’s how His Love is. So, concentrate not on the negative, but on the Divine, and call Him within you. Don’t be shy to chant the name of God. And, also, don’t be shy, because it is not about the others, it is about you and God."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: everything will go back to Him...

It’s only Him who gives and everything will go back to Him."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: everything is just an illusion...

"The soul inside of us is jumping and telling us, “Hey, mind, surrender yourself!” but the mind says, “No! I am better off with my own worries, because that is how I can drag you down completely.” The soul says, “But this is just an illusion”, because - deep inside - you know that the Reality is only realised when you surrender to the Divine Feet; when you realise the mystery of your incarnation, when you realise your Dharma, your duty here, and achieve that."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: surrender completely to your Master...

The Master becomes the path."

As long as one does not surrender the mind, one is a slave of the mind."

He was with you from the beginning and He will always be with you until the end, until you realise your Self and until you attain Him. He’s your best friend, He’s the only one that you can really trust, and He’s the only one that gives solutions for everything."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Surrender completely...

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The meaning of the word surrender...

"We say we want God, but yet, in our minds, God has to be our way. Of course, we all have a personal relationship towards the Divine and He will always come according to how we call Him. He is not limited, He has millions of forms, but we have to let Him do His Will. That’s the meaning of the word surrender."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: We have to become part of Him...

"We have to become part of Him. We have to realize this unity. Firstly, the unity starts with our mind uniting with our heart, then with our body. When the body, mind and soul are united together, you will experience the Divine without any limitation. Actually, this is the main aim of man: to realize his oneness with the Divine. When you realize it, you become Divine."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Whenever we pray...
