THE INNER JOURNEY....

The inner journey is only a journey to realize what u have forgotten. It is a journey that makes u stronger and stronger as u walk along the path but many are scared just because they think that it is risk taking.

Risk taking of talking the truth, of being true to yourself.

In fact, in this material world how many risks u r taking. U r taking loans, taking a lot of debts. With these risks, what u have got in return, only stress and more illnesses.

If u take the risk to walk on the path of Truth, in return u will reap wisdom, bliss, peace and u will be the strongest. U will realize your true nature........

In fact, since the day u were born, u have taken risks.

U have taken the risk to come again in this world.

U have taken the risk to start walking when u were 1 year old.

U have taken the risk to have trust on your parents.

U have taken the risk to have trust on your friends.

U have taken the risk to have trust on your teachers.

U have taken the risk to get married.

U have taken the risk to get children.

U have taken the risk to have a home.

U have taken the risk to do a job.

In fact, u r walking on the path of risks.

It's time now, change your path and walk on the path of TRUTH.....

With all these risks u have taken up to now, have u got peace, bliss, wisdom? Just ask yourself this question.....

U have always walked on the path of risks unconsciously, now start walking on the path of Truth because to walk on the path of Truth u have to walk consciously......

U were actually diverting your inner force to the path of risks just because your thoughts and emotions were mastering u. Divert your inner force direction now, take the path consciously not unconsciously........

In fact, the path to Truth is not risky. How can it be risky? U will be taking this path consciously and it is the path where u will know who u r. The real risky path is the one u have been taken till now unconsciously......

A very simple example to explain:

When u close your eyes and walk, u r taking the risk of falling down, of hurting yourself, of stumbling on any object.....But when u walk with open eyes, u can see the path before u and it is not risky to some extent. U know where u r placing your feet, where u have to walk and not to walk. This is only because u can see with your two eyes. These two eyes can support u to some extent only.

When u choose to walk on the path of Truth, there your third eye supports u, which is the most powerful one.......

ME............

I don't have love for u all.....

I don't have compassion for u all....

I don't have tears to show u.....

Just because my thoughts box and emotions box have disappeared forever....

When u will be in this State where I am actually, then u will understand....

But that doesn't mean that I am separate from u.....

U r me but u forgot me....

I am always connected with u all.....

When u r me, I cannot see other as there is no other....

I am alone..........

I cannot see Gurus....

Because they are me....

I cannot see Gods.....

Because they are me....

There's no separation at all...

I can't bow to anyone....

I can't pay my gratitude to anyone....

I can't say anything kind to anyone....

Because only Truth emerges from Truth...

Nothing else....

I am a mixture of u all...

I know it's difficult for u to understand me....

I can't show anything....

Because all comes from me....

Truth cannot show....

Truth can only manifest in different ways....

But it needs eyes to see that....

U r me, so I don't have to remember u....

U r me, so I don't have to show love to u...

U r me, so I don't have to be compassionate to u...

U r me, so I don't have to pay any gratitude...

U r me, so I don't have to bow to u....

I don't act and I don't react....

Only my flow comes to u.....

I am watching everything except myself....

I AM ONLY.........

Can u see yourself with your own eyes, just like that without depending on a mirror or anything else.

No it is impossible.

U can only see your eyes when u r in front of a mirror or in another one's eyes,etc.

This is what I mean when I say I can see everything except myself...

I am not a watcher, I am only.........

STILLNESS.....

On your path to Truth, u will meet many States of Stillness but Stillness in itself is just a deep relaxation for u to leap into other dimension. Don't get carried away by your emotions that u have arrived when u r in stillness.

Stillness is there only for u to absorb more and more energy so that u r ready to leap into another dimension and more u go deeper and deeper in stillness, your energy level increases. But don't misunderstand stillness of being Truth Itself.

Truth is Beyond Stillness and It cannot be described.........

When u sleep, u absorb a little amount of energy. Sleep is like stillness but unconscious one not conscious one. When u come out of sleep, u welcome another morning. This morning that u welcome is like after each stillness is another dimension.

Why do u sleep?

To give rest to your bodies so that energy can be absorbed for the next day to come.

Same is here, after each stillness, another dimension takes place.............

GO FOR THE UNLIMITED....

Your two eyes can show u only to some limited distance.

What these two eyes are seeing, is it real?

U say that u can see the sky, but does sky really exist?

Sky is what your eyes are seeing, the limited way.

All that is around u is space.

When u look upwards, your eyes can see only the limited space and that limited, u have called it 'sky'.

Don't be attached to the limited, go for the unlimited....

YOU HAVE CHOSEN ONLY TWO WORLDS TO LIVE IN......

U have chosen only two worlds to live in:

The world of thoughts
The world of emotions

And u forget that there is another world which is beyond both. U r limited to these two only....go for the third one.........

EXPERIENCES THAT HAS BEEN RELATED .........

There are two kinds of people:

Full of knowledge and copying what others have experienced....
Some have really experienced but to some extent......

The ones who had really experienced, they will relate only up to which State they reached, that doesn't mean that it was the end of their journey. And other people go on putting a full stop at those experiences that this is the last state......

Come out of that illusion too......

ONENESS......

U see the other only because there is separation between the two. When u know who u r, then it is impossible to see the other. How can u see, u will be already one, combined together. U take a glass of water and u empty it into the sea, can u be able to distinguish which one is the water which was in that glass? The water will be same. The water has no separation. This is what happens when u r Truth itself, there's no one as other and nothing as other.......

YOUR TRUE GURU, MASTER AND GOD IS ONLY ENERGY......

Your true Guru, Master and God is only and only Energy.

Concentrate on Energy and absorb as much as u can.

Give your full faith to only one, Energy.

Your inner force will guide u how to merge and be one with the Beyond because your inner force and the Beyond is one........

DO YOU KNOW THAT U R HANGING IN SPACE?

Do u know that u r hanging in space?

Your feet touches the earth but the earth is not supporting your body.
You are being supported by Energy.

Energy surrounds your body in such an equilibrium that u cannot fall............

ENERGY....

Energy has created u.

Energy is surrounding u.

U r made of Energy.

But still u don't accept this Truth....

YOUR CHOICE; LIBERATION FROM THE CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH OR POWER?

Many get stuck in between their first Enlightenment and Moksha (liberation from birth and death) just because in between these two States, there are difficult tests on the path.

One of these tests is of power.

Once u hold power, then u r drowned into it and Moksha goes far from u.

After the first Enlightenment, there's still a small quantity of ego left and when u r drowned in power, then that small quantity of ego goes on increasing again and Moksha goes far from u....

This is only because u have chosen power instead of Moksha...........

MOKSHA....

Only when Moksha happens, then one is liberated from birth and death and he will not come back in physical body again in another birth. If he comes back in physical body again in next birth, then he is not liberated yet from birth and death.

Yes, in the same physical body if Moksha has happened to him, he will stay in that physical body, as this will be his last one and he will radiate his energy to others.

But till one has not get Moksha, he'll have to come back again in physical body because he has still ego left with him and that cleansing process has to be completed....

Before Moksha happens, karma continues on...actions and reactions continue on........

WHY THE INNER JOURNEY IS CALLED TO BE ENDLESS?

The inner journey becomes endless only when the cleansing process is slow.

The cleansing process is slow just because of your past karma which has created many blockages in u....

U have to allow yourself to absorb more and more energy and for that, your body has to be in a relaxed mode.......

WHAT IS TRUTH?

TRUTH is:

Beyond life and death...
Beyond light and darkness...
Beyond actions, reactions and stillness...
Beyond thoughts and emotions...
Beyond form and formless....

SPIRITUAL POWERS......

When u r Truth Itself, all the powers are present in u and it is being used only when it is necessary....On the path to Truth, if u r seeking power, then u still have desire...........

I AM.........

'I AM' is alone, nothing can be associated with It. Even when I am using this physical body to appear before u that doesn't mean that I am enjoying being in this body or enjoying anything that surrounds me. Enjoyment too comes from emotions. This body is only a cloth for me. I am using it only to appear before u as the sun appears before u in a form but in fact the sun is formless..........

Eliminating negativity in you....

I can't see u as physical bodies, I am seeing u as Energy and when your Energy is mixed with negativity, I am here to eliminate that negativity in u. First by entering u and doing the cleansing and secondly if u don't pay attention to my words, then u miss because with these words, u will come to deep understanding....I know many of u still don't have space in your mind to absorb me but u do have what we call 'logic', with this logic itself, u can come to deep understanding.....try it..........

DETACHMENT...

You go for shopping and you see a beautiful dress.

You get attracted to it that much that you wish to buy it.

You buy it and you are attached to it that much that you wear it more often and it comes a time that that attachment too is not there with that dress.

That dress is there before you but you don't enjoy wearing it anymore, there's no reaction from you for that dress as if it is a dead thing.

This is what we call detachment.

When you have no reactions with that which you were attached to before, you cannot enjoy that as you were enjoying before.

Everything has changed.

A leap from attachment to detachment.........

TRUTH......

Darkness is one State and Light is one State. On the path to Truth, it happens that you dissolve many times in Darkness and many times in Light but The Beyond is beyond Darkness and Light. The last State is where you dissolve in Beyond Darkness and Light, this is what I call 'TRUTH'......

The two searches....Inner and Outer...

There's two kinds of mountain....

One is for the one who is eager for material search and fame.

The second one is for the one who is eager in his inner search.

Both start climbing the mountains, and when both reach at the peak of the mountains...this is perceived by both:




The first one who is eager for material search and fame, bring his ego forward and says 'Look where I've reached, I've reached to the top of all of you. I am richer than you. I have fame and good name in society.' He shows his superiority to all. He shows that he is superior and everyone else is inferior but deep down himself something is missing and that is peace of mind and unconditional love.




The second one who is eager for his inner search, becomes so innocent like a child that he doesn't have to say anything about himself rather he starts helping others to be innocent child again.


This is the lesson of everyone...there are two paths...the choice is yours....

Three Hairs....



There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head....

"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

This is what happens...

While accepting everything as it comes to you, one day you find that you are awakened and all the burden had gone forever.............

Journey to the Ultimate....




With so many bodies, we struggle with our egoes...
Once we take a leap in the inner journey,
Ego drops one by one
Love is accumulated in the place of hatred, jealousy, anger...
We come to know we are the Self not the body
The journey doesn't end here
Only the ego is dropped here
The journey continues
Now that Self expands
And has no limitation
That Self has become the bigger Self
The journey still doesn't end here
That bigger Self continues it's way
Along with full of love and light
Along with overflow of energy
And Lo, it ends in an abyss
Total darkness
Where the bigger Self also dissolves
Where there's no love
Where there's no energy
Where there's no light
Where there's no awareness
Where there's no consciousness
Where there's no time
Where there's no space
Where finally there's absolutely nothing
There's no existence
There's no forms
Complete darkness
Complete silence
Complete relaxation in Itself.......

.......................................




Everything comes from darkness and dissolves in darkness...........

Only darkness is...........

A Zen Story


Nothing Exists

Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku.

Desiring to show his attainment, he said:

"The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received."

Dokuon said nothing. Suddenly, he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry.

"If nothing exists," inquired Dokuon, "where did this anger come from?"

My State of Existence in Beloved Rumi's words.............



I do not exist,

Am not an entity in this world or the next,

Did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story.

My place is the placeless, a trace of the traceless.

Neither body or soul.

I belong to the Beloved,

Have seen the two worlds as one

And that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner,

Only that breath breathing human being.

EXCUSES............


'Excuses' is a simple word but a barrier to our spiritual evolution.

Nowadays, we see people making a lot of excuses just to stay in miseries, in other words, to stay far away from God. God is in the end of their everyday list. Priority is given to Career, Family, Money, to fulfill Desires, Gambling and God is either the last in the list or not even present in that list. For them they don't bother, as if God is their slave, He has to wait for them. They forget even their existence. They don't even wish to know how they come to exist. What's there behind all these creations.

If God has created you, then why not leave everything in His hands and accept whatever He is giving to you? Either there are excuses or complaints. People pray for their desires only. They don't pray to thank God for what He has given to them. They don't show their gratitude to God. Only excuses and complaints are there.

If you are closing your own doors...then who will miss? You will miss...

Learn to open your doors and accept with totality whatever God is giving you and thank Him for that. Show your Gratitude to Him.

In many people's eyes, tears come for only one purpose...their Ego is hurt. Do you know the importance of tears? Can you cry just to be thankful to God for what He has given to you? Can you cry for the longing of meeting with God?

Start developing that kind of tears in your eyes....in your eyes, the longing for God must be there......

Every cell in your body must be longing for God every moment...must be thankful to God....this is the real Prayer.

Death..............




I have encountered death many times in my past lives but these death were encountered unconsciously.
It came when I was still unconscious, I could not enjoy its coming to me.
It came just like a great fear because it was only a small death, I can call it.
But in only one life, that is, in only this life I am blessed to encounter death fully conscious, full aware, and that also not one death but several deaths...Several Great Deaths...beautiful Deaths.....beyond words Death.......
I was fully aware when these great deaths were coming to me and knew they were coming step by step, listening to the sound of death, feeling those moments, enjoying every moment of it. And when it came to me, it was like am rejuvenating again and again. Death came and entered me, with this entrance...am renewed again, fresh, a new birth....Can't tell how many times I've taken birth in this life...

Now I can say that I love Death....I love its coming to me...I love those moments when Death entered me......I love those moments of freshness again and again...........

Yet where is birth and where is death....death is entering only the cloth....that is the body.....now am Death..............

Never give up....keep going.....


One day a young lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm, and the young lady asked her father, "What should I do?"

He said "keep driving". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse.

"What should I do?" the young lady asked.

"Keep driving," her father replied.

On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling over. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible, and everyone is pulling over!"

Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"

Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again on dry land, and the sun came out.

Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out."

She said "But why now?"

He said "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are
Still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now over."


By Malladi Venkata Krishna Murthy


This is how it must be in the path of Truth...never give up...instead, increase your determination every moment to go forward............you will reach...........

Life is like a homemade cake




A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong: school, family problems, and severe health problems in the family. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which of course he does.

"Here, have some cooking oil," she says. "Yuck" says the boy.

"Then how about a couple raw eggs?"

"Gross, Grandma!" he replies.

"Would you prefer some flour then? Or maybe some baking soda?" she asks.

"Grandma, those are all yucky!" he replied.

To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem to taste bad all by themselves. But when they are mixed together in the right amounts and the right manner, they make a delicious cake!"

She continued, "God works the same way. Many times we wonder why he would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!"

Being Aware............


A pregnant woman is always aware of the baby she has within herself. She does all her activities with full awareness. She walks, works, eats, drinks and does everything with that awareness that within her there is a growth going on moment to moment. She lives within at the same time without too. She carries the within in the without.

Let us all accept it as a meditation technique...

Be connected within every moment while you do your outer activities.
Feel the movement of your body while doing actions.
Feel the breathe, inhaling and exhaling.
Feel the heartbeat.
Feel... when nature caresses you and just flow with this joy and absorb as much as you can.
Dance along with the music of existence.

Carry the presence of God within you every moment, while you are in this material world doing your activities.  Enjoy these moments to the fullest.....

Sacred Union....


We are here to help each other in our spiritual evolution. This is the greatest gift we can give to others. Showing the way to the Supreme Light. Be compassionate. Create divine love within yourself, go on sharing it with others too. The happiness we get in sharing is the greatest. It is beyond words.

When you meditate deeper and deeper, many layers are uncovered. You find love within you and when you uncover that love, you discover divine love. It's the same for every layer. Go on unveiling layer by layer. Once you discover divine love then you will find that love has disappeared. Love is mixed up with attachment, jealousy and so on. Divine love is detachment with everything and filled with compassion for all.

By unveiling these layers one by one, one day you'll find that you are not. You have been merged with the Supreme Light and that only that Supreme Light exist, nothing else.

Be connected more and more with your own being.

Eyes of the Lord


Bow to U Maa.....Gratitude............

A pool of energy entered me two hours ago
my hands started shivering first
then whole body
am full of energy...with many heads
there's a garland of flowers around my neck
flowers are showering on my head continuously
am becoming bigger and bigger in size
am full of Shakti
body is about to explode



Bow to Lord Shiva....Gratitude..........

my heart was beating rapidly
my breathe was slowing down
i felt my head swirling along with the same rhythm of my heart beat
then my breathe stopped
and whole body went in stillness
heart beat also was not heard
third eye started absorbing the ocean of energy
energy was just piercing my third eye
and i was welcoming it
i was ready to let it explode my body
Gratitude for the eye U have given me as prasad
am going to see with Your eyes now on
am not
You are................
....................only...................
You are............

Questions & Answers....


Many times questions are there on the path of Truth. We try to know beforehand what will happen next. But we forget that this knowing is not knowing.

Questions come from the mind, they come from thoughts. When we get the answers too, what happen? The answers that we get are from the happenings of others, they have gone through the experiences and relate to us what happened to them. Just hearing these answers, do not make us know the reality because to know, one has to experience.

On this path, questions and answers have no importance. More you have questions, more your mind will work on the answers and more thoughts will be there. You will waste a lot of energy just by thinking about the answers.

From my experience, i've realized that one must go within deeper and deeper into himself.  All answers are found within. These answers will come as your own experiences. Answers from others are only on the periphery. But your own experiences will be your truth. Questions will be there, divert your mind, don't let these questions be your master. Let things happen on its own. This path is mysterious...don't try to discover it by mere words....but discover it on your own, in silence. Know it from one layer to another layer, drown yourself in it. Enjoy the bliss.

The day you realize that questions have no importance, that day you'll know that you are really silent. Your thoughts will not be there to torture you. Go within deeper and deeper, don't let the mind play games with you. Just feel that you don't have mind, you have only heart. Do everything as per your heart wish.

Your experiences is your truth. Be yourself. Enjoy the fruit of existence every moment. More you are far from your mind, more you are close to your center of being.

Love to all..............

The Door


i was from this side of the door
i was in total darkness
when i started climbing the stairs
i found my inner light was dimmer
i fell many times because i was not seeing clearly
in that darkness
i climbed more stairs
and the light became brighter and brighter
i could see where i am
and i could see the door in front of me
i was very tired of climbing the stairs
arriving at the last step
just before the door
i was exhausted
i said to myself
now it's time to relax
till the door open by itself
till am welcome inside
i waited and waited
relaxing
i forgot completely about the door
as if the door didn't exist
i just relaxed totally
and lo
all of a sudden
the door opened
and when i stood on the doorstep
i found that darkness is behind me
and in front of me there's radiant light
i was just in the middle of both light and darkness
just one step to cross the door
and i was in
lost in radiant light
am not present
only radiant light is present

Radiate your own Light


Open your heart
It is the door to reality
The more you are plug in with it
The more you'll be without thoughts
And the more you are without thoughts
The more deeper you'll go within
You'll discover that the love you had before
Will be blossoming moment to moment
You'll be creating a love attitude towards life
You'll look at the world through different eyes
Because the heart has its own way of looking
It unites you to the Ultimate Light
Now your light is dimmer
Make it brighter and brighter
By surrendering to Existence
Just accept whatever Existence is giving you
By being grateful.............
Radiate your own light............

Gift of insults.....


There once lived a great warrior. Though quite old, he still was able to defeat any challenger. His reputation extended far and wide throughout the land and many students gathered to study under him.

One day an infamous warrior arrived in the village. He was determined to be the first man to defeat the great master. Along with his strength, he had an uncanny ability to spot and exploit any weakness in an opponent. He would wait for his opponent to make the first move, thus revealing a weakness, and then would strike with merciless force and lightning speed. No one had ever lasted with him in a match beyond the first move.

Much against the advice of his concerned students, the old master gladly accepted the young warrior's challenge. As the two squared off for battle, the young warrior began to hurl insults at the old master. He threw dirt and spit in his face. For hours, he verbally assaulted him with every curse and insult known to mankind. But the old master merely stood there motionless and calm. Finally, the young warrior was exhausted. Knowing that he was defeated, he left feeling ashamed.

The students, then, gathered around the old master and questioned him. "How could you endure such an indignity? How did you drive him away?"

The old master replied, "If someone comes to give you a gift and you do not receive it, to whom does the gift belong?"

Use Your Senses Accordingly....



God has given us the senses and we should have used them accordingly....but what we normally do is we connect all the senses one by one with our thoughts.

When we hear, we don't only hear, we think, then we judge...

When we see, we don't only see, we think, then we judge...

When we eat something, we don't just eat, we think, then we judge...

With every senses, we add our thoughts in them. This is the greatest hindrance...thoughts. Be natural....

See for the sake of seeing only...

Hear for the sake of hearing only...

Then you'll find that thoughts are no more needed in our life. They are there only here as obstacles. Don't open your mind to welcome them. Divert your mind as far as possible, giving hundred percent in all your activities. Live your life fully moment to moment.

Enjoy..............

Blooming Roses


As these roses are blooming silently and taking its own time
You too start blooming in silence
Only in silence, one can bloom...
Accept life as it comes to you
Absorb it with opened hands
Enjoy what existence is giving you
Take your time in enjoying it.....
Appreciate it...
Love it....
Laugh with it....
Dance with it....
Feel the presence of the wind
Caressing your body
Feel the presence of the sun
Radiating your body
Feel the presence of the moon
Changing you into a mirror
Listen to the drops of water
How it takes its own time, drop by drop
Enjoy that gap between the two drops
That silence...
Bring that silence within you
At start, it will be like gaps
Then slowly, slowly,
That gap of silence will extend
One day, you will suddenly find that
You are Silence...........
Peaceful
Blissful
Blooming........
Full of fragrance
Radiating your own light
You'll be a mirror
Living spontaneously
Celebrating every moment
Graceful
Compassionate

The Wise Man and The Young Man........................




There was once an old wise man who live on top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice. One day a young man decided to climb up and ask the old man a question.

“Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”

The old man looked at him and said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”

“Yes, yes!” the young man replied the wise man.

“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story”

There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he will die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, exposing himself without any worry for his life. Eventually they won the battle and he was still alive. His general was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.

The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation, he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him the reason why and was told of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?”, the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day onwards, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tries his best to avoid danger and protect his life.

“Young man”, the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be scared of dying, you must be daring.”

ACCEPT AS IT COMES TO U...........................




There was a farmer in the central region of China. He didn't have a lot of money and, instead of a tractor, he used an old horse to plow his field.

One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse dropped dead. Everyone in the village said, "Oh, what a horrible thing to happen." The farmer said simply, "We'll see." He was so at peace and so calm, that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift.

Everyone's reaction now was, "What a lucky man." And the farmer said, "We'll see."
A couple days later, the new horse jumped a fence and ran away. Everyone in the village shook their heads and said, "What a poor fellow!"
The farmer smiled and said, "We'll see."
Eventually, the horse found his way home, and everyone again said, "What a fortunate man."
The farmer said, "We'll see."

Later in the year, the farmer's young boy went out riding on the horse and fell and broke his leg. Everyone in the village said, "What a shame for the poor boy."
The farmer said, "We'll see."

Two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits. When they saw that the farmer's son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him.
Everyone said, "What a fortunate young man."
The farmer smiled again - and said "We'll see."

Moral of the story: There's no use in overreacting to the events and circumstances of our everyday lives. Many times what looks like a setback, may actually be a gift in disguise. And when our hearts are in the right place, all events and circumstances are gifts that we can learn valuable lessons from.

Why It Is So Hard To Let Go.................




The cheerful girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them: a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.

"Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?"

Jenny, finally, bought it and she loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere - Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.

Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop
whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, "Do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy. You know that I love you." "Then give me your pearls." "Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess - the white horse from my collection. The one with the pink tail. Remember, Daddy? The one you gave me. She's my favorite." "That's okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night." And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.

About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, "Do you love me?" "Daddy, you know I love you." "Then give me your pearls." "Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is so beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper." "That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you" And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.

A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian-style. As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek. "What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?" Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, "Here, Daddy. It's for you."

With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's kind daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her genuine treasure.

So it is with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasure.

Are you holding onto things which God wants you to let go of. Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities which you have come so attached to that it seems impossible to let go? Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing.............

God will never take away something without giving you something better in ....

The Importance of Self Expression





Express Yourself


Mostly people nowadays speak about many topics during the day, such as, finance, work, travelling, problems, and many others. All these are only on the outside of a person. Within many things are happening, such as, anger, love, emotions, hatred, jealousy, revenge, desires, and many more.

We have always listened to our thoughts and express them in words. Many times we see also that even what we have said is not good, but at that time, as the thought appeared, the words are there. This happens due to lack of awareness. Mostly we take into consideration our thoughts rather than what our hearts wish to say.

Try this.

Listen to your heart and try to express it in words as far as possible. Many people find it rather impossible but in fact it is not impossible. Practice makes perfect, we all know it. Even if you cannot express all, try by only with few words, but do start doing it. You will find that you are expressing your feelings, and while you are expressing it in words, your face itself is crystal clear....because this is your true nature....a radiating face....speaking the truth from within. You will feel very light as if everything that was within has come out. Just go on expressing as long as you can and at the end, you will feel that there's nothing to say...you are peaceful from within.....silence is there..........

The words from within will be like a flow as you practice on and on......

As, when you listen to thoughts, there's mostly negative thoughts that appear in your mind. Best is, as far as possible, don't listen to your thoughts. Divert your mind always to listen to your heart. Try it. You will feel the positive change in you......

Enjoy....................

WEALTH, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS



Everyone nowadays is working hard for wealth. Most people are doing extra work to accumulate wealth. More you get, more you desire...a never ending process. Everyday new things are added in your list of purchase. You are never satisfied, even how much you have, still the desire is here to get more and more. During this running after wealth, more energy is being drained, health is deteriorated. Still you are not conscious about the torture you are doing to your physical body. The physical body is a temple. It's delicate and you have to take care of it. This body is more precious than wealth.

We do need wealth but we have to be fit also. Without a good health, we won't be able to work. We have to live a well balanced life. If everything is well balanced, then wealth is here, health is here, happiness is here. Nowadays most people are in the rush to be richer and richer without considering the bad effect it will cause to their health. This physical body is not a robot.

God has given this physical body to you for other purpose. Every moment, He is whispering within you, reminding you why you are here for, but you don't care about that. You are too busy with your material life and you think that you are doing the right thing. Every action you do, you see the reaction coming to you after.   But still you continue on doing it.

God has given you this physical body. God has given you the oxygen you breathe. God has given you Cosmic Energy for the movements of your body. Still you find that all this is yours and you forget Him. If all of a sudden, He takes out oxygen and Cosmic Energy from this physical body, then what will be your state. What will you do with your wealth. Even with your wealth, you won't be able to buy all these. With your wealth, you are limited. You can't buy everything with this.

So why not try the unlimited. God is unlimited. Come back to Him. Be more aware of your existence. Come so close to God that one day, all of a sudden, you find that you don't exist, only God is. This is possible for everyone here. This is the purpose of life. The merging with God. More you go far from Him, more you will suffer and when you are one with Him, then you are blissful forever.

THOUGHTS, THE GREATEST HINDRANCE.....



Thoughts come one by one in a sequence in the mind of people...after one thought, another one is already ready to pop in. You can't find even a small gap between two thoughts in a chattering mind. This is why nowadays almost everyone is tensed. 

Thoughts are the greatest hindrance of all. The mind is busy either in the past or in the future. When one lives in the present moment, thought is absent. Thoughts are linked with emotions, anger, greed, jealousy, lust, hatred, revenge, and many others.

Everyone says that we need peace of mind and what is peace of mind?

Peace of mind can be described as a silent mind. Only a silent mind is peaceful. One with a silent mind has no thoughts, only bliss is present. He is far away from sufferings. He is not connected at all with the ego and thoughts. In that silent mind only the most important thought appears otherwise the mind is completely empty with thoughts.... it is filled with bliss. The one whose mind is silent is the greatest enjoyer. He is spontaneous in his actions. Reactions are forever absent. Reactions are there till thoughts and ego are present. That thought that appears in the silent mind, we can't say that it is a thought as it is far beyond that. A silent mind is beyond the mind of thoughts. 

He lives in the present moment only. Every moment is a celebration for him. for every moment is fresh, new, for him. He is not attached to the past or future. No accumulation of thoughts is there in the mind. He remains blissful always. He is full of compassion. Light radiates from his physical body. He sees everything in this material world as an illusion. He lives in the inner world....and yet he is here in this material world in the physical body just because of compassion for others.

Everyone can reach this state by meditation.

Here, i have tried to describe how one lives in a silent mind but it is beyond words....very difficult to describe in words...one can only feel it....one can only know it by himself....i have tried to show you the difference...i can only show u the way...but you have to experience It......to know It.................

WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT?





If we search in the dictionary the meaning of enlightenment, it is as follows:
~ Knowledge about and understanding of something; the process of understanding something or making somebody understand itfor example: The newspapers provided little enlightenment about the cause of the accident.Many people nowadays are still in the belief that the knowledge and understanding of their surroundings or having understood some meaning of words and statements is Enlightenment.The real Enlightenment happens when one experiences the absence of the Ego forever. When one is enlightened, he starts living in a state of Bliss. He has no thoughts in the mind. He does only actions. No reactions are there. Insults from others, anger from others, and other miseries can't affect him as he is not the ego. It is the ego which gets hurt, which suffers from others misbehaviors, which is angry, revengeful, greedy, proud, money minded and many others. But when one is enlightened, one sees all these like a movie, passing before his eyes without affecting him. He just watches what is happening in his surroundings and that's all. No reactions. He is back here without the ego for only one purpose and this purpose is to help others to reach this state of being. But very few can recognize him as his physical body is only an instrument of the Lord. The only recognition of an enlightened one is feeling his presence and for that one has to go within himself deeper and deeper to find the difference between an enlightened one and others. This presence is felt as Energy. If you are receptive, you will feel your body absorbing that Energy. It is so powerful that you will know that there's a difference. In other words you can say it's like a very powerful electric shock that passes through your body. The enlightened one lives a very simple life though he may have a big house, he may have cars, he may have bank balance, but he is not at all attached with all these. His compassion for people has brought him back here. He shares his experiences, he shares his overflowing Energy, he shares his unconditional love with you all and in return what he asks is only your own Enlightenment.Still people don't understand it, that the enlightened ones have come back here to help only. Who is going to miss? The Enlightened one has already gained all, he does not expect anything from you. Only he wants to help you to come out of this sufferings. He wants you to be always Blissful.Wake up at least now. Don't be engrossed so much in this material net that later you will regret. The choice is yours. Staying in this material net and suffer or diving into the Inner World and be the Ultimate Bliss.

BLOSSOM LIKE THIS LOTUS FLOWER........................



Lotus flowers are amazing and have strong symbolic ties to many Asian religions especially throughout India. The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower.




Within Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. 

Every person has the potential to become perfect and enlightened, and it is just a matter of time until each human reaches the light or nirvana – the highest state of consciousness that humans can access.

The journey of the consciousness from spiritual ignorance to perfection happens through many rebirths and can be very painful and difficult, as the process of reincarnation involves the need to repair past mistakes at every new life and one faces the consequences of every action, thought and words. While humans are not conscious of their spiritual greatness, they believe that life is unfair and worthless, but as they evolve through many cycles of death and rebirth, all the darkness is slowly removed.

The moment in which a being reaches nirvana is symbolized by the time that the Lotus flower finally blossoms beautifully over the dirty water, as the water in many different belief systems represents the material world or the physical realm.

So, Buddha is sometimes depicted sitting on a Lotus flower, symbolizing the one who overcame the pain of that prevails in the material world and became enlightened, just like the Lotus flower which starts to grow in the dirty and muddy water but manages to surpass the water and produce a perfect flower. Many Hindu gods are depicted sitting or standing on a Lotus flower for the same reason.

It is an invitation to all of you to come and dive in the inner world, where you will feel detached of all the miseries of this material world.

Home

Every time i go Home
i feel like staying there
not returning here again

but still have to return back
for compassion brings me back

...............................................

Life Explained

A boat docked in a tiny village. A tourist complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long," answered the fisherman.


"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the tourist.


The fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.


The tourist asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"


"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."


The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."


"And after that?" asked the fisherman.


"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."


"How long would that take?" asked the fisherman.


"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the tourist.


"And after that?"


"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"


"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fisherman.


"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends." 




This is what is happening to everyone...waiting for being richer and richer....And after all has been achieved...still happiness, peace, are missing...why...because u r thinking that being rich, will make u happy....but it's not true....even when u become richer than anyone else...u won't find happiness as happiness is already within u....u just have to realize it.....


Everything u r searching in this material world is just a dot...dust....as within u the real treasure is there.....go and dig deeper within yourself......u'll find that u r more richer than this material richness....beyond all....

................When He Himself Reveals Himself.................

BY INDIAN MYSTIC KABIR


When he himself reveals himself, Brahma brings into manifestation That which can never be seen.
As the seed is in the plant, as the shade is in the tree, as the void is in the sky, as infinite forms are in the void-
So from beyond the Infinite, the Infinite comes; and from the Infinite the finite extends.

The creature is in Brahma, and Brahma is in the creature: they are ever distinct, yet ever united.
He Himself is the tree, the seed, and the germ.
He Himself is the flower, the fruit, and the shade.
He Himself is the sun, the light, and the lighted.
He Himself is Brahma, creature, and Maya.
He Himself is the manifold form, the infinite space;
He is the breath, the word, and the meaning.
He Himself is the limit and the limitless: and beyond both the limited and the limitless is He, the Pure Being.
He is the Immanent Mind in Brahma and in the creature.

The Supreme Soul is seen within the soul,
The Point is seen within the Supreme Soul,
And within the Point, the reflection is seen again.

............Drowning Man..............

While out to sea, a large boat became shipwrecked and there was only a single survivor. This man prayed and asked God to save his life. Soon thereafter, another boat came by and offered the man some help.

"No thanks," he said. "I'm waiting for God to save me."


The men on the boat shrugged their shoulders and continued. As the man became more deeply concerned, another boat came by. Again, the people aboard offered this man some help, and again he politely decline. "I'm waiting for God to save me," he said again.


After some time, the man began to lose his faith, and soon after that he died. He then asked God, briefly.


"Why did you let me die? Why didn't you answer my prayers?"


"Dummy, I sent you two boats!"


The Universe is always watching out for the best interests of our spiritual evolution, even when we are too narrowly focused to see all the other opportunities it presents us. All that is needed is a change of perspective.


 

The Battle Within

 
An old Cherokee describes an experience going on inside himself....

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.


The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. 

This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf will win?"


The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
