Author of quotes: Acharya Tapeshwarananda avadhuta

He who only loves children spoils them. He who only punishes them is like an enemy. Parents in raising children should use the method of carrots and sticks - sometimes even punishing them depending on the circumstances, but always taking care of their well-being.

Baba is the supreme source of inspiration for marga. "Mantra Mulam Guru Vakyam" This means that each word of the Guru is truly a mantra and serves to guide the sadhak at all times. His words, whether written or spoken, are the shining gems of His infinite mercy. They should be read, they should be contemplated, and they should always be remembered.

Baba once told me about the true meaning of sadhana and spiritual life. He said that there is no difference between ishta, adarsha and Mission. The spiritual path is very difficult, but it is also very easy if you have firm faith, love and devotion towards Him and His Mission. These qualities are one-sided, not two-sided. Those who wish to comprehend Him must undergo many tests, trials, suffering and humiliation. Comprehension of Him means union with Him. This is the goal of the spiritual path. This is the path of synthesis, not analysis.

It is always difficult to imagine what mood Baba will be in. He is unpredictable: now He menacingly scolds or punishes everyone in a row, and the next minute He smiles gently, as if nothing had happened. Sometimes He walks gloomy, not wanting to talk to anyone, like a child, and then after a while he talks cheerfully with everyone, not a trace of His former mood remains.

For this purpose, Taraka Brahma appeared in the twentieth century. Now the Cosmic Core itself has appeared in the physical form of Shri Shri Anandamurti and has given us a new Siddhamantra - "Baba Nam Kevalam"!
