UNDERSTANDING

The Wisdom and Words of Dadi Janki taken from her book 'Companion of God'

Most people don't understand themselves. There isn't the patience to understand themselves or others. We need to make time for this.We get too impatient. Very often, because we are not willing to take time to listen, misunderstandings continue. We don't take the time to listen to someone quietly and try to understand them. Then we start inventing things about them, because we simply haven't taken the time to understand.

SPIRITUALITY

The Wisdom and Words of Dadi Janki taken from her book 'Companion of God'

Spirituality is the art of balancing your responsibilities to yourself, your family and to the whole world. The basis for this is a deep understanding of self, God and the law of cause and effect (karma).

Knowing the self enables you to be detached from physical factors and their limitations. Knowing God enables you to create a deep link of love and draw into yourself all attributes, virtues and powers, from the Source. Understanding the deep philosophy of 'karma' motivates you to settle debts of the past and perform elevated actions now.

Anyone can fall victim to the suffering of a poor state of mind, ill-health, loss of wealth or unhappy relationships. Human life depends on these four factors and yet each of them has become so fragile and unreliable. God's power restores tolerance and the ability to face anything. An understanding of the deep philosophy of karma reveals how elevated thoughts, pure feelings and good actions can resolve all difficulties for the self and for the world.
