Enter by the narrow gate; for the
gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to
destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that
leads to life, and those that find it are few (St.Mathew
6.13, 14).

When they deliver you up, do not
be anxious how you are to speak or what you are
to say, for you have to say will be given to you
at that hour; for it is not you who speak, but the
spirit of your Father speaking through you. (St.Mathew,
10.19, 20).

Do not think that I have come to
bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace,
but sword. For I have set a man against his father
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
and a man\92s foes will be those of his own household.
(St.Mathew, 10.34, 35, 36).

Let those who want pleasures and comforts get them;
but in the process will lose me. Better judge, whether
you shall be satisfied with roti and chutney (dry
bread and dry curry) that I give you, or you want
pelf and luxury? If you aspire the later, surely
will you get them, but lose me.

He who loves father and mother more than me is
not worthy of me\85. And he who does not take his
cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who
finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his
life for my sake will find it. (St.Mathew, 10.37,
38, 39).

Today, I say to you, unless you
turn and become like children, you will not enter
the Kingdom of heaven. Who ever humbles himself
like this child, he is the greatest in the Kingdom
of heaven. (St.Mathew, 18.3,4 and 19.14).

A large number of school children
visited the Aashrama at noon. Hungry they were.
Food was prepared already for a few inmates. Yogi
Achyuta asks the cook to feed the children first.
The cook was hesitant, where upon Yogi Achyuta said,
please serve since they are small children who cannot
eat heavily. The cook did as directed. Later, the
food had become Akshaya (inexhaustible), perpetually
growing upon serving.

To the large crowd following him,
he asks his disciples to give them something to
eat. They said \93We have no more than five loaves

upon heaven, and blessed and gave them to the disciples
to set before crowd. All ate and were satisfied.
Five buckets of broken pieces were left. (St.Luke,
9.13, 14, 15, 16, 17).
