There is wisdom beyond every event. There is love beyond every person. There is infinity beyond every object. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar These are beautiful lines spoken by world renowned spiritual leader and humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Though sounds very simple but these few lines are impregnated with vast wisdom which immediately bring the shift in consciousness by little dwelling. Other significance of these ' sutras ', the tenets of wisdom is that it covers most of mind stuff/activity/thought. If carefully deliberated one find mind dwells either on events, people or objects most of the times and all most all over conflicts whether personal or otherwise can be attributed to these three dimension of existence namely events, people and objects. Interestingly, events, people and objects brings two kinds of experiences, pleasurable or miserable. When these attributes brings pleasurable experience mind develop craving for those events, people or objects (e.g. partyin...

Have you ever ponder when you want to repose into the self and dive into deep meditation what is that hold you back? Is your mind stuck in relationship, job, guilt, anger or pleasant memory of past actions or anxiety of future, money, fame, name, people etc? Why the mind is stuck there, why it can't detach itself and repose into the self? Why the mind is jumping like a monkey and never come to rest? Let's explore it. What and where mind sticks to. Have you notice as compared to our dreams we give more value to our actions/words in waking state. Isn't it! why so? Simple reason there is strong sense in the mind for the purposefulness and permanency of the actions/words from waking state than those in dream state. We are much convinced that there is purpose for these things like your car/job/relationship/money which we see in wakeful state etc etc. While mind do not dwell much on the events happen in dream state as it is convinced that there is no purpose of all that in real ...

Inception may be one of the best movie of 2010 and its good to see world is waking up to new ideas of old times (The teachings of advaita ). Movie is excellently done and starts bit slow but as your mind catch up with moves on the silver screen, it gives rise to mind shattering experiences. Movies is build on the idea that technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, that's what is claimed by the director but this is quite and old wisdom or more precisely the only wisdom one need for freedom from mind. I remember one of verse from Yoga Vashistha which states that This World-appearance is a confusion, even the blueness of the sky is an optical illusion. I think it is better not to let the mind dwell on it, but to ignore it . (1:3) Now going from the first part of this verse see if the whole objective world which we see as real is nothing but a illusory dream world and not more than that. In this dream world where we feel ourselves as body mind complex doing m...

This is 100th post on this blog and I was just thinking about what we should pursue here as the blog reader are increasing and I am increasingly getting overwhelming responses on the diverse posts we are putting on the blog. We will be bringing more post which will help to introspect the deeper level of understanding in life. One of the subtle dimension which is the central force of the whole universe is MIND. We all know that we have mind yet we have not seen it with naked eyes and as you are reading these lines some part of yours telling you YES, this is true!; that YES is coming from the mind. Isn't it! We have not seen the mind yet we have experience this subtle field of bio-magnetic energy (why am I calling it bio-magnetic, I will come on it later) called Mind. This itself is enough to give us realization whatever we can't see is not necessarily false or non-existential or on contrary whatever we seen is not necessarily true and existential. Isn't it! This can also hel...

There are two ways to look at this world and that brings complete FREEDOM. 1. Look as if Everything is divine, everything is part of divine. This take way all the aversions and puts us in love with everything around us. or if this doesn't work. 2. Look Everything is a charm of illusion/maya and Everything is taking you away from your center and draining your energy. This help dropping all the craving in mind and put us back to center. I hope one of these works and bring peace and FREEDOM to mind. All Glory to Gurudev Please remember Everything is the Key :)

Where is you mind? Just sit with eyes closed and observe. What thought goes in the mind: future worries, anxieties and desires or past regrets, anguish or glories. Nothing other than this. Isnt it? And intensity of every thought shows how much impression it has on our mind. One simple rule about MIND: "whatever goes in your mind there is you mind" So how to get mind to the peaceful relaxed and blissful meditative state which is known as सत्चिदानंद satchidanand (सत् -चित्-आनंद) sat-chit-anand (Truthful-consciousness-blissful) : just by observing it and relaxing it rather than resisting or fighting with any thought. Remember the ways of physical body is effort and keys for mind is effortlessness. So Just observe and relax. Lets have this experiences find out where is you mind and share your comments :) Jai Gurudev All Glory to Gurudev

Sri Madbhagwad Geeta is considered as one of the most profound scripture available on this planet which is always revered as true source of spiritual knowledge. Literal meaning of Sri Madbhagwad Geeta is 'Song of God'. Its a conversation between Arjuna and Lord Sri Krishna where Lord Sri Krishna explain the detailed mysteries of this Universe as well as Brahman and help Arjuna to come out of the deluded state of mind and be free. In this post I am puting the overall view of this wealth of knowledge. It has 700 verses which has been distributed in 18 chapters. I remember, in September 2006 I went to Mumbai to attend satsang with Guruji where HE said if you want to attend satsang, next time read Geeta and then come. So while going back to Gujarat (where I used to work) I baught Bhagwad Geeta and read it (Reading itself is an experience as I felt much more free and happy during those days). Recently We were listening the commentary of Guruji on Bhagwad Geeta and HE said every chap...

Meditation is an art by which one go beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness where mind dissolve and pure timeless, space less, blissful consciousness BEING which is described as सत्चिदानंद satchidanand (सत् -चित्-आनंद) sat-chit-anand (Truthful-consciousness-blissful) by the enlightened MASTERS. About Meditation there are so many myths and concepts. And the truth is what you experience that is reality for you. Here in this post "Meditation & its secret-1" and upcoming series of post on this title, I will be writing about my direct experiences of the inner journey, the obstacles and blissful experiences which keep coming as journey goes on :) As we sit for meditation what we do we sit STILL with EYES CLOSED that is for withdrawing reflexive mind from visionary senses, other obstacle is auditory disturbances (therefore quiet place is preferable). Now journey start as wondering mind has lost most of distractions which...
