Enlightenment-II
"The three shots that cause all the sorrow and misery in this world are - insulting words, loss of wealth, loss of most near and dear ones.
One who bears with patience the pain of all these three shots will be able to conquer death.
"Darkness disappears with the rising sun.
The thief runs away when the householder awakens.
Likewise, contemplate on the higher qualities and the lower instincts in you will run away, and your body will become the temple of the Divine. "
"I only ask you to perform all your actions consciously.
Do whatever you like but do it consciously and with a sense of awareness.
Once you become conscious and aware,
you will find that your conscience prevents you from doing any evil deed.
Any such deed that brings you a sense of repentance and grief after it is done is a sin;
any action that creates a peaceful and happy state of mind is a virtue. "

Recalling His time in the Himalayas,
Baba Lokenath said, "While in samadhi, heaps of snow would cover My body and would melt away.
In that sublime state I had no feeling of the existence of My body.
I was in that state of samadhi for a long time. Then, finally the effortless state of the Ultimate Truth was revealed.
In that state of consciousness, there was no difference between me, the rest of the cosmos and all its manifestations.
The inner and the outer all merged into each other as an expression of ultimate bliss, absolute joy.
There is no state beyond this to be achieved in human life with total effort and divine grace."
"Renunciation comes through acceptance of everything that life has to offer to you; detachment comes through your love for the Divine. "
