Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda:Give the mind Divine Names...

"Give the mind Divine Names. The more you chant the Divine Names, the more you become the Divine Names and the more the mind ceases to trouble you. Once the mind ceases to trouble you, it will be much easier in your meditation. So, when you help others, you see this happiness, you feel this happiness and with the Divine Names you will realise that you are serving the Divine. This helps you on your spiritual path."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: A Satguru knows everything...

"A Satguru or Paramguru has this omnipresent quality inside, whatever the disciple is thinking, the Guru is connected to. When one surrenders sincerely to the master, it is like one is grafted to the master. It’s like with a rose bush: whenever the bush receives the grace, receives the water, of course, the grafted part also gets the water. The same thing is when one is surrendered to the Guru: whatever flows through the Guru, whatever energy, whatever Shakti is flowing through the Guru, the disciple, wherever he will be, will receive the same Grace, also."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Just chant one name...

"Hold tight to the Divine names, any Divine name that you feel close to – you don’t need to have ten Divine names, you just need one Divine name. If you have a guru mantra, just chant your guru mantra; if you have one Divine name, one form of the Divine that you feel close with, just concentrate on one. It will be more intensified than concentrating on ten Divine names. In the mind of man, they think that when they have ten, they will advance faster. They will not advance faster. Actually they will advance less fast, because one Divine name is like digging one hole and getting the water; ten Divine names is like digging ten holes to try to get water. You will not get it. So, if you want, just chant one name."

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

"Know that God is always with you, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whether you’re positive or negative, He is with you. When you go in the quietness of your heart, through meditation, through yoga, you experience this quietness."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: God is seated inside of the heart...

"If somebody just meditates and just prays in the outside only, without realising that the Lord that they are praying to is seated inside of the heart of each being, then it’s of no use. Realising first, through meditation and through your prayer, that the Lord is not on the outside, but is inside of you, you will see Him shining in everybody; because, until you realise the non-difference, you will always see the limitation."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You have to rise in love...

"You have to rise in love! And how to rise in love is to find your Self, to Realise your Self, to realise the greatest gift that God has given you. Of course, some people will say “Yes, it’s easy to talk about it, but it’s difficult to practise it.” But Love is there! There is no point of saying that it’s difficult or it’s easy: it is there already. It just needs time for you to look at it. And when you take time through your spiritual practice, you will realise the beauty of Love, the beauty of life and you will know why you are here. And once you have opened this fountain, this tap of Love, Love can just flow, nothing else."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: He will run to you and give you liberation...

"When you love somebody, you are not scared of anything. In the same way, when you love God, you should not be scared of anything. When you love somebody, you will do anything to please that person. In the same way, when you love God, try your best always to please Him. When He sees that you are trying your best to please Him, He will run to you and He will give you liberation, He will give you Self-Realisation. Work always towards Self-Realisation, towards God-Realisation, and make this the aim of your life. He will provide you with everything. Whatever you need, He will give you."

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: 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: The same way God loves...

"When you realise that the only path is to love and to be in love continuously, you realise 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: everything will go back to Him...

"We want Self-Realisation, we want God-Realisation, yet we don’t want to let go of everything. That doesn’t mean that you should renounce everything and become sannyas, no, but be in the world and know that everything comes from Him. Everything is Him. It’s only Him who gives and everything will go back to Him."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: True love...

"If you truly love, you will sacrifice everything. Until you have come to the point of really feeling this kind of Love inside of you – and you have to be ready – all the other kinds of love will have expectations. Very often what we call Love, it is just passion or desire. Today we love that person, tomorrow we love another person, but in one year you don’t even remember who these people were. Real Love is to be found deep inside of you, personally. It’s not in someone else, it’s inside of you. It’s your true nature. This is who you are in Reality. The Divine is not far away. He is inside of you. You just need to calm your mind and introvert yourself. So see how much you are truthful towards yourself and how much you really, sincerely want the Divine. True love is everlasting giving, not expectation."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: controlling the mind ...

"The mind can be overcome by chanting any Divine name. You see, if you practice it regularly, it will be more simple for you to focus the mind. When you are singing bhajans, your mind is not troubling you because when you chant, your mind is busy and it becomes hard for the negativity to take over. So 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."
