Pious!

Just read these lines again as again. As I read these line my heart is full , throat is choked and eyes are wet. If a devotee has to express his love for his Master, perhaps so elegant words are rare to find in this universe.

Back to Basics

Have you ever noticed whenever you are happy, how is your energy level 'high' while on contrary whenever you are sad your energy level is 'low'. Or sometime even when things are alright and normal you don't feel all good and you feel something inside you is sinking. What is that something is sinking and cause a up moods, its nothing but the life force energy moving up ward or downward. Whether it's blame, sadness, loss, bad health or criticism we feel low while when we win, gain or received appreciation and recognition we feel uplifted. Its just a play of energy which is taking us on this ride of mood swings. What we can do to keep in under control, start working on the basics of life. What basics which keep our life force energy uplifted and high. Keep a check of things which are the source of energy, namely food, rest, spiritual practices, good company, a inspiring read. Food: Take good nutritious food on time. Specially at least one serving of vegetable, spro...

Cultivate Trust, Cultivate Happiness!

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...

Silence speaks

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...

Living a Purposeful life

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...

Sources of Enthusiasm

This one came to me while just coming to school this morning. In life there are different things which fill us with the spark of energy, make us enthusiastic & blow life in us. These are different situations, different dimensions which somehow touches the core of our being and take away all the dullness & make us like lump of energy TOTALLY ALERT & ACTIVE. I am calling them "sources of enthusiasm" Here I could stretch my consciousness to recollect the possible sources: 1. Inspirations Reading/Books : Have you noticed sometime when you are feeling dull and no hope in life and you stuck with inspirational reading may be a book, news article, interview and as we are going through the lines something start changing inside and by the time we are finish the reading we feel like taking some action, we want to do something constructive whether at gross level or at subtle level. SO KEEP READING INSPIRING STUFF (BEST FROM GURUDEV MOUTH) 2. Challenges: Have you noticed, som...
