The worldly relationships are all temporary, and will cease at the end of this life, or even before. At present, you have no information where the relatives from previous lives have gone. Similarly, your relatives of this life will also leave you one day, and go wherever their karmas determine. But God is eternally seated in your heart, and does not leave you for even a minute. #SwamiMukundananda #Spiritual

Material pleasures thrill but never fulfil. No matter how much one tries, happiness keeps eluding. Since our soul is divine, it can only be satisfied by the infinite happiness of God. #SwamiMukundananda

Thoughts have the power to raise our blood pressure or lower it, to increase our heartbeat or drop it, to make us happy or sad, and to change the chemical composition of our blood. Thus, we can become healthy or unwell by the thoughts we harbour.

The mind may wander into fear, doubt, and negativity, but you are not the mind. Instead, step back and ask, "Why do I believe thus? Is this really true?" You are the soul, and you have the wisdom to observe your thoughts without becoming them. A negative thought becomes powerful only when we identify with it. When wrong beliefs are replaced with faith and right knowledge, negative thoughts begin to lose their power.
