PONDERING

The difference between human and demon is just this – human beings should have morality, self-control and compassion. Demons do not have these, nor do they consider them as desirable characteristics; they ignore them and pay no heed to the prompting of these virtues. On the contrary, these three are in fact the essential qualities of every man. Every being in the universe is a pilgrim on the path from demon to human to divine. The number of stages in this journey is as many as the number of hearts in this universe! Each pilgrim moves at their own speed and with the Name and Form that inspires them.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, foibles and fears, skills and handicaps, so no one prescription can be suggested for all. It is necessary for every individual to do a rigorous self-examination to remove all evil from oneself. A patient has to take the prescribed drugs and follow the instructions that are beneficial to cure the ailment. The patient cannot ask for sweet medicines and comfort. So too people are normally attached to physical comfort and objective pleasure and try to hide their defects, instead of trying to remove them. People buy dark coloured clothes, so that they may not reveal its dirt; they do not prefer white clothes, for they show plainly their soiled condition. But, do not try to hide your dirt in darkness; be repentful of soiled natures and endeavour to cleanse them fast.

When you try to cook a meal, you may have with you all the materials you need – rice, dal (lentils), salt, lime, spices, vegetables, etc. But unless you have fire to cook these, the dish cannot be prepared. So too, all forms of worship, contemplation, yoga or meditation are ineffective if the knowledge of one's basic Reality and Identity is not there to warm up the process. The Atma is the source and spring of all joy and peace; this has to be cognised and dwelt upon. Without this realisation, human life is an opportunity that is lost. Awareness of one's true identity is the sign of wisdom, the lighting of the lamp which scatters darkness.

MUSINGS

Do not aspire to be a servant of God, working for wages; you reduce yourself to that level if you ask for this and that from Him in return for the praise that you offer or the sacrifice you do! Also, let go of the bargaining attitude in your mind, and do not feel disappointed that God did not give you desirable objects in return for all the troubles you took to please Him. Do not calculate profit, do not count on returns, do not plan for the consequences! Do, since it is your duty and you have to do! That is true puja  Dedicate the deed as well as the consequences to Him. Then you become His own and not a labourer demanding wages. That is the highest level a devotee  can attain through sadhana.

If the other person laughs at you,
you can pity him; but if you laugh
at him you may never forgive yourself.
If the other person injures you, you
may forget the injury; but if you
injure him you will always remember.

Serve all creatures of God. The service of servants of God is His real worship

All the spiritual, moral and cognitive
pursuits of man’s life occur in Divine
Will, therefore, he has no power to
choose for the attainment of liberation
or degeneration into hell; involvement
in worldly elusion or devotion to God;
realization of knowledge or
If remaining in ignorance.

If you can not speak well of someone rather do not say anything.

THOUGHTS

Cultivate an atmosphere of love and co-operation with one and all, and you can ensure joy for ever more. Do not seek arguments to keep away from others; seek rather ways of working together for the common good. The sense of `I' and `mine' scotch love and co-operation. Reduce them to the minimum and then start serving the needy and the distressed. Develop character as well as intelligence and health. The most reliable source of strength is not in money, or kinsmen, or physical acumen, but in yourself, the Atman. Delve deep and draw sustenance from it; see it in all; serve it in all. Discipline is another key trait. Every individual and every nation must learn to control the wild nature of passions and emotions; yielding to them brings only ruin. Discipline, self-control, desire to serve - these are the weapons that even the weakest can use, and win the battle of life.

A THOUGHT A DAY

If you think negatively, destructively, and viciously, these thoughts generate destructive emotions which must be expressed and find an outlet. These emotions, being of a negative nature, are frequently expressed as ulcers, heart trouble, tension, and anxieties. What is your idea or feeling about yourself now? Every part of your being expresses that idea. Your vitality, body, financial condition, friends, and social status represent a perfect reflection of the idea you have of yourself. This is the real meaning of what is impressed in your subconscious mind and what is expressed in all phases of your life.

We injure ourselves by the negative ideas which we entertain. How often have you wounded yourself by getting angry, fearful, jealous, or vengeful? These are the poisons that enter your subconscious mind. You were not born with these negative attitudes. Feed your subconscious mind life-giving thoughts, and you will wipe out all the negative patterns lodged within it. As you continue to do this, all the past will be wiped out and remembered no more.

LITTLE EXPERIENCES

 I WAS PONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. THEN I THOUHGT OF SHARING MY LITTLE EXPERIENCES.

ONE SHOULD NEVER HURT ANYBODY’S FEELINGS BY WORDS OR DEEDS, IF POSSIBLE TRY TO SERVE, MIND ONES BUSINESS WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH OTHERS. HEAVEN AND HELL ARE A PART OF SAME COIN ONE EXPERIENCES IN THIS WORLD / LIFE ITSELF.

FRIENDSHIP

ONCE A FRIEND IS ALWAYS A FRIEND. THERE IS NO FRIENDSHIP WITHOUT LOVE. GIVE AND TAKE IS NO FRIENDSHIP. IN FRIENDSHIP ONE GOES ON GIVNG WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN.

GOD EXPERIENCE

PREDICTIONS COMES AUTOMATICALLY AND NATURALLY. THINGS PREDICTED HAPPENS  DUE TO GRACE OF ‘GOD’.  ONLY THROUGH GRACE REALIZATION COMES. STILL A LONG WAY TO GO.

HEALING 2

I LEARNT HEALING FROM MY REVERED MOTHER WHO WAS MY GURU. SHE INITIATED US INTO JAPA YOGA AND LATER TAUGHT ME HEALING.

TRADITION IS CONTINUED TILL DATE.

HEALING OTHERS WHO ARE SUFFERING WHETHER KNOWN OR OTHERWISE HAS BECOME A ROUTINE WHICH I AM DOING ALL THESE YEARS. GIVING BLESSINGS TO NEEDY HAS BECOME A WAY OF LIFE.

A SMALL PART OF INCOME IS GIVEN TO NEEDY EVERY MONTH.

RINGING RADIANCE

I ALSO HEAR A SOUND DEEP INSIDE RINGING THROUGH OUT. I FEEL THE LIGHT AND SOUND AT ALL TIMES AND CALL IT ‘RINGING  RADIANCE’.

I AM A BEGINNER AND HAS A LONGWAY TO GO.

BLUE PEARL

ONE EXPERIENCES OR SEES BLUE PEARL AT THE PEAK OF MEDITATION.   MANY A MEDITATOR STOPS AT THIS STAGE THINKING THEY HAVE VISUALISED LORD KRISHNA. ONE HAS TO GO FURTHER TO REACH THE KINGDOM OF ‘GOD’. ONLY DUE TO GRACE OF GOD ONE CAN REACH.

SUDDENLY A BLUISH LIGHT FLASHED IN FRONT OF MY FACE  AS IF ASKING ME TO FIND OUT WHERE IT HAS  COME FROM. I TRIED TO FIND ‘IT’ OUTSIDE BUT COULD NOT DO SO, THEN IT CAME TO MY MIND IT HAS FLASHED OUT FROM INSIDE.

I SEE THIS BLUISH LIGHT BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE FLASHING TO THE LEFT AND INFRONT OF MY EYES AND DISAPEAR AS IT  FLASHES VERY FAST. I COULD SEE IT AND FEEL ITS PRESENCE EVEN WITH EYES CLOSED.

HEALING

The most convincing evidence anyone can have of the healing power of the subconscious mind is a personal healing. The subconscious mind, which fashioned and molded all  organs from a tiny original cell.  Since our subconscious mind had made our body, it could also recreate it and heal it according to the perfect pattern within it.

The watch had a maker. But before the watch could become an objective reality, the watchmaker had to have the idea of it clearly in mind. If for some reason the watch stopped working as it should, the watchmaker's idea of it would give him to knowledge he needed to fix it.

One has to understand this analogy. The subconscious intelligence that created our body was like the watchmaker. It knew exactly how to heal, restore, and direct all the vital functions and processes of the body. But for it to do this properly, we have to give it the perfect idea of health. This would act as cause, and the effect would be a healing.

TIPS

TIPS for right living:

 

 1.Your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body and knows the answer to all problems.

2. Prior to sleep, turn over a specific request to your subconscious mind and prove its miracle-working power to yourself.

3. Whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as conditions, experiences, and events. Therefore, you should carefully watch all ideas and thoughts entertained in your conscious mind.

4. The law of action and reaction is universal. Your thought is action, and the reaction is the automatic response of your subconscious mind to your thought. Watch your thoughts.

5. All frustration is due to unfulfilled desires. If you dwell on obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind responds accordingly, and you are blocking your own good.

6. The Life Principle will flow through you rhythmically and harmoniously if you consciously affirm: "I believe that the subconscious power that gave me this desire is now fulfilling it through me." This dissolves all conflicts.

7. You can interfere with the normal rhythm of your heart, lungs, and other organs by worry, anxiety, and fear. Feed your subconscious with thoughts of harmony, health, and peace, and all the functions of your body will become normal again.

 8. Keep your conscious mind busy with the expectation of the best, and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce your habitual thinking.

9. Imagine the happy ending or solution to your problem, feel the thrill of accomplishment, and what you imagine and feel will be accepted by your subconscious mind which will bring it to pass.
