What is worth knowing?

It's always been valuable to know what is worth knowing or otherwise we might end up wasting lots of time asking useless questions. Some says it's worth while to know from where this universe came into existence? Who is the creator of this universe? What will happen in 2012? ;-) etc etc. Here is where I will start, say you got a machine say new computer and according to manual it can run on 110 volt and suppose you plug it into a source of 220 volt or 440 volt what will happen? you know, you might end up blowing it up? And also say you got a calculator and you expect it to heat your food? how stupid it would be! Means in nutshell, it's very important to make the best use of anything, you must know what it can take and what is its capacity or potential to deliver. Isn't it? Taking this simple analogy to our life what immediately becomes important to know what our system can take? What is it made up of? What is our potential? Knowing these basic things only we would be ab...

Total Freedom

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 :)

Guru Story from Guru Purnima 2009

On the day of Guru Purnima in Chicago after grand magnificent satsang and soul soothing puja and dinner which was served as if it was heaven’s banquet when celebration was done and Guruji went to His suit and some of us from Pittsburgh Art of Living Family went there in the hope that we could get in and be with Him for sometime but all in vain there was so much of policing outside the His door so disappointedly we came back and I was walking in lobby and soon I saw 3 fellow teachers and just started following them and asked Birjoo where were those guys going :) he said to Guruji's suit and I with low heart responded हमारे लिए तो दरवाजा नहीं खुलेगा (door will not open for us) too much of policing :) then Birjoo replied that ऐसा बोल कर अपना दरवाजा ख़ुद से क्यों बंद करता है (by saying this why are you closing door for yourself). This struck me :) Next day TRM started and 11 AM Guruji came for session :) we had good time and when He ended the session again the same words struck me ag...

Peaceful Warrior

I saw this movie, amazing source of inspiration. Anybody who is on any kind of spiritual path and have been practicing for some time may be from 1 year to decades can see the time zapped in 2 hour in this brilliantly done movie. If you are in art of living for some time and want to see you journey including you part 1 course, advanced courses interaction with Guruji and your own ups and down perhaps you can get a overview of your journey in the movie. That’s my experience. Thanks to Bawa who shared about this on his blog. He always has contributed for the uplift of the consciousness of the people around him. Once again thanks to him as well to that unbounded pure consciousness which govern EVERYTHING and sometime called universal consciousness or sat-chit-ananda ( सत्चिदानंद ) Here are few most stunning quotes or pearls of wisdom used in the movie. 1. Everything has a purpose, even this, and it's up to you to find it. 2. This moment is the only thing that matters. ...

Sri Madbhagwad Geeta in Nutshell

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...
