Allt líf vort skyldi miða að fæðingu sálarinnar

 

Allt líf vort skyldi miða að fæðingu sálarinnar.

Það er hin æðsta gullgerðarlist og þetta eitt réttlætir tilvist vora á jörðu.

Og í þessu er köllun vor og dyggð fólgin.

New Year Blessings

 

Loving and Divine Soul,

Let the blessings of God and gurus be upon you.

Life is a lamp that burns without pause. Since oxygen keeps the lamp burning, the lamp of life is supported with every breath. With every passing moment, the oil in the lamp diminishes. Similarly, our life on this earth, in this body, is constantly coming closer to the end.

Light is knowledge. Light dispels darkness. Let the light from your life create understanding and harmony.

The lamp also warms the atmosphere. If you have warmth of love and devotion in your life, it will be beautiful.

A mantra from the Upanishads says: “O Lord! Lead us from darkness to light.”

Love God. Love the masters. Love their teachings and practice them diligently. Meditation brings all-round development.

The scriptures declare:

rishaya dirgha samdhyatvat
rirgham ayah awapnuyah
prajna yasah ca kirtim ca
brahmavarehasam eva ca

“The rishis, through deep and sincere meditation attained long life, wisdom, success, prosperity, and enlightenment.”

This is our beloved Gurudev’s centenary year. His life was filled with divinity, love, and light. Let us follow his footsteps. Let us live with love, service, and meditation.

Pray and meditate nicely.

Celebrate the New Year and Gurudev’s birth centenary year in your heart and soul. Make your life a new life with more love and devotion.

I am praying for you all.

With love,
Prajnanananda
