Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Sookti Manjari, Bhaktimala March 2008

If Guru Sannidhi is not there, then there is a danger of relialization
not sprouting at all. One who aids the dawning of such relization is
Sadguru.Once realization has dawned, it is up to the disciple to hold on
to it ad carry it forward.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Sookti Manjari, Bhaktimala March 2008

Ego a very great force. It can engulf the good effects of even the
greatest noble acts. What grew within you in the disguise of
self-confidence was nothing but this Ego! It is as the result of this
that the amount of divine protection on you went on diminishing.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Bhaktimala, Sookti Manjari, Mar 2008

It is only the Almighty God who gives uninterrupted and complete
protection to man. One who has this realization will not seek protection
elsewhere.
