the

and give
the best what He could give or the best He could do for the Mankind. He
was a
Godman, filled with wonderful love in his heart. From head to toe he
was oozing with divine nectar of love, love and love only. He lived all
his
life for the good of mankind and He became a person beloved by
countless people all over the world. He
was himself a personification of joy and enjoyed to laugh and make
other people
laugh too. He was a man of wit and radiated cheerfulness, made visitors
forget all their sorrows and troubles and brought joy and
hope into their
lives. He did not discriminate between East and West,
this country or that country, this race or that race, this religion or
that
religion. He was also a person of great compassion, understanding and
sympathy.
His personality was such that He immediately made everyone feel that
they
belonged to Him and He belonged to them.<span

<p>Worship God as Virtue <br>
Have no other God. You can contemplate God, you can contemplate
eternity, infinity, ocean of bliss, Light of lights beyond all
darkness—all these things you can contemplate, think about, reflect
over, but you cannot love and worship peace, or <i>ananda</i>,<i> </i>or
<i>jnana</i>.<i> </i>Because they are abstruse, abstract
concepts, and you want something more, something for which you can live
and something for which you can be prepared to die also. That is
virtue. </p>
<p>Read the sixteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, you will
understand. You may want, you may desire, peace, joy, light, but you
cannot love them, you cannot worship them. But twenty-four hours of the
day and night, with every breath, you can worship virtue, you can live
to fulfil virtue. That you can do. That is <i>
sadhana; </i>that is supreme Yoga. Thus worship. God will reveal
Himself in His transcendental, concealed form. </p>
<p>Therefore, this great message, this great <i>sadhana </i>that
Gurudev left for us, this inner secret of the spiritual life that he
bestowed upon us as his special legacy, is that through virtue one can
attain the source of all virtue, which is God. God dwells within your
heart and is the source of all goodness. He is your indwelling reality,
the source of your conduct and character, the source of your virtue and
goodness, the source of your truth, purity and compassion, the source
of the divine living of your life.<br>
</p>
<p>Worship God as Virtue. Worship virtue by practising virtue.
This is a way to
spiritual transformation and realisation. - Swami

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Osteoporosis
is a condition characterized by
the loss of the normal density of bone, resulting in fragile bone.
Osteoporosis leads to literally abnormally porous bone that is more
compressible like a sponge, than dense like a brick. This disorder of
the skeleton weakens the bone causing an increase in the risk for
breaking bones (bone fracture).<br>
