Have you noticed when somebody doesn't trust you, what happens, how to do you feel inside? Restless, sad, angry, miserable and when somebody close to you, your family member may be your beloved one when they don't trust you, the hurt is even more deep and pain is even more intense. Isn't it? Now reverse this and see when you don't trust somebody what the other person goes through. Must be same experience of pain, sadness, anger. Have you noticed with our actions, dialogues, gestures; we keep telling the world, the people around us that I don't trust you. What kind of environment we create around us, where people are sad, angry in pain and anxious to prove their stand to you that you can trust them. That's what you want to do when you feel that somebody feels that you are a not trustworthy. What happens inside, you feel restless and want to do something or anything to prove your stand, that you are trustworthy! isn't it? So break this shackle of mistrust you...

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...

Silence-generally when something goes wrong we observe silence, may be we have an argument or fight then we keep quiet and don't talk. May be we want to talk much more than usual but we keep our lips tight. This silence has no meaning as it is just a physical silence but their is no silence inside rather there might be more activity, restlessness inside, isn't it! The true sense silence is so soothing, so peaceful, silence is so awakening and its so energizing, its so beautiful and it sharpens our focus, it enhances our observation, it accelerate our speed, it creates a sense of rest, it gives depth to perception and it improves our expression, it gives us peace, it gives us space and time. Silence is so powerful and LOUD and Silence is silent yet silence speaks so much. All the best moments whether love, joy or peace whether the presence of your loved one or a view of scenic place or tasting a yummy delicacy or smelling a sense locking fragrance from roses or ev...

Here are few more Q & A with Swami ji: Q. What is consciousness? A. Everything is consciousness! Whether you can see it or not, feel it or not! Q. What is the purpose of my life? A. On this question, Swami ji asked the participant to pat himself and said congratulate to yourself that mind is opening up and going beyond the day to day life, my job, my family, prestige etc. Then he said I will tell you three things in reference to this question: i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and whatever answer comes keep putting them in trash and one day you will get the answer to this question :-) Q. Who am I? A. Again for this question Swami ji asked the participant to congratulate himself and he said again follow the three things I told you in answer before. i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and what...

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...

A pianist without a piano, a businessman without business, a coach without trainee, a temple without deity, food without nutrients, a music without rhythm, a book without knowledge and a life without purpose are same. They are not what they are. They looses their relevance. When the river is bound between two banks and flow to its source, its a river and when the banks are dissolved and there is are no direction it become flood. Same resource which is so life supporting may become the cause of destruction to self and around. Isn't it! Same is the case when life force energy has no purpose and its wondering in this world its like flooded river, all over the places. Purpose is like banks which makes a river, river; similarly purpose makes life a LIFE! If you look around you might find their are three kind of people to this reference One- who doesn't bother about this topic, who doesn't care about having a purpose. For them life is eat, sleep, dance and die. For them life is r...

You must have gone through some unpleasant, uncomfortable moments in life when you are not FEELING GOOD about things, about situation or about people. Whether its just about salt in food or somebody around you whom you don't want in the moment or you stuck in thick traffic or somebody behaving in a way which is disturbing you or sometime for no reason we don't feel good. The most often what we do we blame others and complain about things or people about the way we feel. And this happen to most of us and most of time without being even aware about it. So what is the way out? Here is what you can observe. Whenever you are going through some unpleasant feeling. Just give a pause to yourself and obsever what is happening inside? How is the state of your mind? Is it cluttered, agitated, heated up or heavy. In principle this is what is reflecting out (if you not ready to accept this truth say it most of the time ). So when you become aware of this disturbed state mind, just remind yo...

Here are few amazing sutras for happy and peaceful journey of life from Rishi Vidhyadhar ji. 1. What should one talk about? When ever you hav a conversation talk about blessings, knowledge/self, guru stories, delegation of work, praising Any thing other than this is not at all required What should one not talk about ?? opposite gender, atheist, enemies, money. All of this has karma attached to this. 2. How to praise others? when ever you are praising any one praise in positive degree and not either in comparative or superlative degree. He said when ever Guruji praises some one He always says GOOD GOOD GOOD !! 3. How to ask question to Guruji? When ever you ask guruji a question do frame it as it starts from How and not why !! 4. Advicing people "Unless ones really helpless he wont listen to your advice so stop giving advice to every one " 5. Dealing with different people He said for duhki (unhappy) people stay away from them sukhi (happy) people be friendly people who are do...

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. ---George Bernard Shaw These were the words from Shaw which really inspire us to rethink our approach for life. Look around people why they don't take initiative? or why they don't want to take responsibility? or why they don't want to do something new? One simple thing fear of failure, fear of committing a mistake! Then look around the world and find out a single person who never did a single mistake. Do we find anybody who never did a mistake. No everybody some or other time in their life at some moment while cooking, driving, talking, in job, in relationship or name it people fall short of perfection and commit what we call MISTAKE. So why to stop yourself for any job in the worry of committing a mistake. Here important to note is that it's not a deliberate intentional act which is being done to go out of way to disturb the system (perhaps that's we called c...

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

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...

This one is really interesting: we have gone through different situation of life there are some moments which just take over us whether pleasant or unpleasant and then we loose our balance and roll down starts :) And then at some other time and space same events/similar events looses their importance and seams insignificant and do not touch us why is that...! it's a wonder ahoo...!!! :) At some time at some place same event become so big and take over us and at some other place and time it is just doesn't matter to us what a phenomenon what a wonder...! :) For instance for a kid playing with a toy, his toy is everything to him like if the toy is broken life is broke but as the same kid grow up that toy looses its relevance (TOY IS THE SAME). How does it work..... what is mechanism... here is what I think........... Its simple that when we are too attached and focused of something (object, event or people) then the consciousness is focused and sharp on the subject so much that ...
