As every Hindu knows, a single word AUM is called as the Pranava Mantram.
It is considered as most significant one in Hinduism. Further, to sanctify this
Lord Muruga's Temple at Swamimalai is an example. The story is related to
Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, etc. In fact, it is the root form for all the Mantras.
Some call it as bija mantra. In some houses, one can notice a CD is being
played with the chanting of AUM so as to gain good and spiritual and energetic
vibrations. In Upanishads, its significance has been amply explained.
The text of Pranava Mantram is reproduced below as extracted from Mundakopanishad:
Pranavo Dhanu Sharo Hyaatmaa Brahm Tallakshya Muchyate
Apramatten Vedadhavyam Sharavattanmayo Bhavet.
The Sacred Word (AUM) is called the bow,
the arrow is the soul and Brahman is its target;
He shall be pierced by him whose attention does not swerve.
Then he will become one with Him as the arrow becomes one with the target
when it has pierced it. (as extracted from Mundakopanishad II.ii.4)
This rendition of the Pranava Mantra is thus known as Mahamantra.

We quite often discuss about the presence and existence of God everywhere.
Also see the God in everyone when we meet the Mahans like Kanchi Mahaperiyava.
Maha Periyava is an example for Deivam Manisha Rupena. We can find in our
Shastras about the significance of Namasmaranam. Our Upanishads have spoken
about the glory of uttering the Nama of the Bhagawan. Similarly singing or
doing Bhajans of the Bhagavan will enlighten our mind. As Baba says, this is the
first step for a person to get into the spiritual activities and also to seek the Divine Power.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Lead your life such that, in posterity, people will remember you with gratitude and joy. To lead a good life, constant prompting from the Lord within you will be of great help. That inspiration can be got only by constantly reciting the Lord’s Name and calling on the inner springs of Divinity. The Lord’s Name is such a valuable instrument to win His Grace, to realize His Presence, to picture His Form and to remember His Glory. Repeating it from the depths of the heart, even once in the morning and once in the evening, will make your house, a home (griham) instead of a cave (guha). Senses are the windows, which when left open, make the lamp of the Name of God unsteady. Keep your senses away from the negative influences and concentrate on the Name of the Lord, its beauty and sweetness.[/FONT]

One has to have complete faith and devotion while chanting the Mantras.
Besides correct pronounciation of a Mantram gives the desired results. Further
every mantram has to be chanted for certain number of times. One has to
maintain a peaceful mind while chanting mantras with absolute concentration.
Further purity Above all, mantras should not be utilized for negative purposes.
is also required while chanting certain Deities Mantras. Before chanting the
mantra without purity, desired results may not be achieved. It is just like sowing
a seed and watering it regularly. We cannot see a tree, fruits or flowers instantly
immediately after sowing unless the soil is good or proper urea is applied. In the
same way, unless only follows strictly or rigidly the procedure laid down in the
scriptures, the results are likely to get delayed. Concentration is absolutely
imperative keeping away all negative thinking or negative aspects.

Liberation is the means to be free from grief and live in joy. And it is easy to accomplish this. All you need to do is to place all your burdens on God. That will make you carefree, and griefless.

One has to accept everything in the life as a Divine Play. One has to possess the three
main qualities viz. faith, belief and trust while surrendering to the God. Once a person
observes this, the regular practice would not only nourish the spirits of that person
and would also strengthen his/her soul. In this process, it opens up opportunity to
have an enlightened consciousness besides an awareness in the supreme power.
Once a person follows this procedure strictly or rigidly regularly or continuously,
all the illusions will disappear and would be able to understand the true knowledge of self.
Mind, body and spirits are to be completely coordinated towards the divine practices.
One learns many lessons in the life or faces or comes across many stumbling blocks or
ups and downs during the span. But surrendering to the God with absolute concentration
would fetch a person a complete peace of mind. While some people find it very easier
to do the exercise of meditation towards surrender, others are not able to do it because of
their wavering mind. For example, a person gives up many things in life just for the sake
of financial prosperity sometimes even setting aside the close relationships. If one is
able to surrender to the God one can achieve relaxation, peace and contentment in life.
One has to practice simple meditation exercises daily to stimulate the mind daily.
If one practices regularly, one would be able to feel the difference and its effects.

An interesting point to read :

நேத்திக்கு ஒரு அம்மா சொன்னார். நான் நெறைய ஸ்லோகம் பாராயணம் பண்றேன்.மத்யானம் சாப்பிடவே ஒரு மணியாறது. ஆனா பிரச்சினைகள் தீரலே…பகவான் கண் பார்க்கலேன்னு வருத்தப்பட்டார்.

“ஸ்லோகம் சொல்றச்சே சுவாமி முன்னாடி உட்கார்ந்துண்டு, சுவாமியை மனசிலே
நிறுத்திண்டுதானே பாராயணம் பண்றேள்”னு கேட்டேன். “அதெப்படி முடியும்?
குளிச்சிண்டே,வேற வெலை பார்த்துண்டே தான் சொல்றேன்.எல்லாம் மனப்பாடம்.தப்பு
வராது”ன்னா. காய் நறுக்கணும்னா அரிவாள்மணை,கத்தியைக் கிட்டே வைச்சுக்கறோம்.
சமைக்கணும்னா அடுப்பு கிட்டே போகணும். குளிக்கணும், துவைக்கணும்னா தண்ணீர்
பக்கத்திலே போறோம். ஸ்கூட்டர், கார் எதுவானாலும் கிட்ட இருந்து ஓட்டினா தான் ஓடறது.
ஆனா ஸ்லோகம் சொல்லணும்னா மனசு சுவாமிகிட்டே போக வேண்டாமா?
“ஸர்வாந்தர்யாமி” தான் அவன். ஆனாலும் பிரச்சினை பெரிசுன்னா பக்கத்துல உட்கார்ந்து
அனுசரணையா சிரத்தையா சொல்லுங்கோ… நிச்சயம் கேட்பான். வேறு வேலையில்
கவனம் இல்லாமிலிருந்தால் விபத்து நடக்கும். ஆனா பகவான் ஞாபகம் இல்லாம
ஸ்லோக மந்திரத்தை முணு முணுத்தா போறும்னு நெனைக்கலாமா? புதுப் பூவைப்
பார்த்தா பகவானுக்குத் தரணும்னு ஆசை வரணும். தளதளன்னு இருக்கிற சந்தனத்தை
பகவானுக்கு பூசிப் பார்க்கணும்னு நெனைப்பு வரணும்.இந்தப் புடவையிலே அம்பாள் எப்படி
இருப்பாள்னு நெனைச்சு தியானம் பண்ணினாலேகருணை செய்கிறவாளாச்சே!
கல்லைத் தூக்கி சமுத்திரத்திலே போட்டா மூழ்கிடும். ஆனா மரத்தாலே கப்பல் பண்ணி,
அதிலே எத்தனை கல் ஏத்தினாலும் மூழ்கிறதில்லே! கவலைகள் கல்லு மாதிரி,
பகவான் தெப்பம் மாதிரி, மனசு என்கிற சமுத்திரத்திலே பகவானைத் தெப்பமாக்கணும்.
தெய்வத்தை இணைக்கிற ஆணிகள் தான் பூஜை மந்திரங்கள் எல்லாம். அப்புறம்
கவலைகளைத் தூக்கி தெப்பத்தில் இறக்கலாம். சம்சாரசாகரத்தில் மூழ்கடிக்கப்படாமல்
கரை சேர்ந்து விடலாம்.

[TD]Sankara, when quite a boy, was one day offering Puja to Devi, in the absence, of his father and of his insistence. He placed milk before the image and pleaded that the Goddess should sip the cup and drink a little of the offered milk, as he thought She was doing when his father did Puja. He wept so sincerely and with such agony that Mother quaffed the entire quantity!
That set another problem before the boy, for, he knew that every day his father used to share the 'offered milk' with him. That day, since the cup was emptied, there was nothing for him; so, Sankara wept, complained and pleaded pathetically to the Devi, in the Image. The Mother felt great pity for the innocent helpless boy who had taken Her to be a 'Real Presence'; She did not "create milk and pour it out of Her palm" as I do. She just pressed Her maternal breasts and filled the cup. Sankara drank that cup and was happy beyond words. It was his Avedana, anguished yearning, that brought the response.

Baba has been preaching us that one should get away from illusionary objects
besides free from egoism so as to contemplate on the Supreme Power without
any impediments, so as to reach the final goal of Divine Power. Thus, one has
to keep away from unnecessary materialistic attachments in life. We have many problems
in our day to day life right from desire, sickness, etc. In fact, one must try to be like an
innocent child. Normally we spend more time towards taking good care of our body. We have
relaxations to the mind by going through excursions and jolly trips, etc. Sometimes, the
body will always complain of ailments viz. head ache, body ache etc. We not only take care
of ourself but also our elders and relatives remind us quite often about the preservation of the
body and its pleasures and not purity of mind. One has to have a firm and determined cool mind to dedicate
towards Supreme Power, then only one can visualize the true spirit of Divine Power. To be precise
one has to make a firm resolve to break the desires and sense identifications and Me or I etc.
As long as one has specific attachment towards immortal body, one may not be able to get rid
of its routine problems. Once a person stops identifying small small problems and keeping away
personal issues and starts concentrating on the Supreme Power, one will be able to attain the
Divine bliss. Normally external attachments only disturbs a person.

Ignorance is of different types. Importance is given here towards spiritual ignorance.
It is just like a shore-less ocean of darkness and suffering in life. Whenever we visit
the ocean we see the waves, i.e. an ocean can exist with a wave but a wave cannot
exist without an ocean. Generally, ego plays a vital role in the darkness of ignorance.
Another aspect is Maya. Maya normally separates us from the actual reality and
makes us not to understand the truth, knowledge or consciousness and God's bliss.
There is a quote that living with ignorance is just like having a nap in a house which
has a fire. If a person is under the guise of ignorance, he/she may not be able to
apprehend the reality. For this, primarily one should acquire spiritual knowledge. It
can eliminate the thick jungle of ignorance. Normally, we notice, cloud sometimes
envelops the sun from our naked vision. But when the wind clears away the
clouds, one can easily see the sun clearly. As regards the intellectual power to
grasp the reality of divine power, one has to get away from the concept of
ignorance. In this respect, the clouds are noting but the ignorance and the
Sun is the reality and the wind which clears the clouds is nothing but spiritual
wisdom. In other words, when the wind of spiritual knowledge throws away the
away the clouds of ignorance, one may be able to see the vision of the reality
of Supreme Power. If a person is keen to attain spiritual knowledge, he/she
has to have a f
air control and purification of his/her mind. In that event,
automatically the intellectual power may raise a query as to what is earliest
and quick method to swim over the ocean of ignorance and go beyond
.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Divinity expresses itself infinitely as the five elements – the sky, the wind, the fire, the water and the earth. All creation is but a combination of two or more of these in varying proportions. The characteristic nature of these elements are sound, touch, form, taste and smell, cognized by the ear, the skin, the eye, the tongue and the nose. All the elements are abundant in Nature and are precious and potent with Divinity. So use them in moderation, reverentially, with humility and gratefulness. Excessive or inappropriate usage will injure your well-being just as drinking more or less water than needed is a torture. Inhaling more air is suffocating. Fire in moderation can warm or serve to heat and melt, but beyond a certain limit, it is a holocaust. Even excessive use of sound will distract people and drive them crazy. Hence, learn to use the natural resources intelligently, in moderation, with the idea of loving service to all in the community.[/FONT]

If a person has to lead a genuine and true life, one has to assist the needy
fellow beings and one can see the happiness through them the love of Supreme power.
To the extent possible one can do service and it is not a sacrifice of life.
Whenever one is free and has the necessary facilities or financial capability
to do charity or dharmam, etc, such activities can be undertaken. But while doing
so, one has to perform it without any anticipation in return. One has to do it very
sincerely without harming others. In such cases , one gets certain benefits without
being unasked or unanticipated. By doing such services, one gets free mind and heart.
It also facilitates to eliminate egoism, hatred, jealousy, superiority over others, etc.
Further it paves way to attain humility, pure love, sympathy towards the needy,
tolerance are enhanced. Further, aloofness is also eliminated besides selfishness.
One gets a broad outlook in life and feels free to live together in a society.
Selfless service alone can fetch divine virtues. If one has pure mind and heart,
one will be easily able to attain the vision of Supreme Power. That is why, our
Mahans have emphasized that one should attend to the people who are distressed.
God will certainly bless us. One can collect some old clothes and distribute them
to the needy in Orphanages. One can meet their friends and members of the
Satsangh in a common place once a week or a fortnight and plan for such
activities. Also do Bhajans and Kirtanas with all those people and develop
an understanding in their mind too which will help them to know the actual
spiritual path and activities. They may not be initially perfect and once we are
kind and take them with us, they will do their best.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The ancient sages who decided upon the many festivals that we celebrate today, had a high purpose in mind when they did so. They want us to imbibe the inner meaning and use each such day as a step in saadhana (spiritual efforts), as a reminder of the journey which each person has to undertake alone to the feet of the Lord. The festival of Dasara for instance, celebrates the victory of the forces of good over the evil ones which resist one’s progress towards love and light. You must remind yourself that the forces of good are combating the forces of evil in every living being, and if they only rely on the great Divine Force that fosters and fends the Universe, they can easily win and reach the goal.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1] - Divine Discourse, Oct 15, 1966.[/SIZE][/FONT]​
 
Every one knows that all of us are born with free choice. No one is born wicked but
they are only turning wicked due to environment or are by the influences of others in the
society. If evil deeds are affected, he/she must try to find out the ways and means
to get rid of that and also must find out as to what is the best method, rather
more appropriate or a good activity. One has to make an attempt to repel the evil
deeds with good acts. Sometimes the economic balance may tempt a person to do
evil acts. In such cases, one has to find out the real and true methods for opening
an economic balance and social harmony if need be, so that the evil deeds get
washed out. To be precise, the deeds of righteous acts would wipe out all
the evil deeds. For this one needs patience, self-restraint, steadfastness and
perseverance. There is a possibility to rehabilitate and reform a person.
Divine power produces the better and positive results, for that one has
to create divine consciousness by developing knowledge and good deeds,
which would be a source of inspiration and guidance in accomplishing the goal of
spiritual practice. With that the emotional nature would gradually get dimnished.
For some, personality defects are the biggest stumbling blocks in spiritual practice.
In that case, one has to analyse the actual personality defects which remain obstacles
in performing spiritual practice. Repetition (chanting) of Bhagavan's Nama
would help in creating the motivation and to enhance the thinking power towards
Supreme Power. If parents do such things at home, automatically, the children
will also practice and they will excel and attain fame. Such children should be drawn
towards spiritual practice.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"God resides in the heart of all beings" says Lord Krishna in the Gita. He is not to be found specially in cities like Amarnath, Kashi, Tirupati, Kedar or Gokarna alone. Just as every drop of the ocean has the salty taste, the composition and the name of the ocean, so too every single being has the divine taste, composition, and the name of the Lord. Only you do not realise it so clearly. The river realises itself by reaching the sea; man realises himself by merging in the Absolute. The space encased in the pot must become one with the space that traverses the entire Universe. This can be achieved by the negation of the attachment, which is just an artificial creation of the deluded mind. The inferior status of manhood that now satisfies you, must give place to the status of Reality of God which is the true status.[/FONT]
