Don't Miss The Essence!

Silence increases the quality and the level of our ability to discern, allowing us to use our time, thoughts and qualities effectively and thus benefit all. In the silence of inner quietness, the intellect makes everything clear and then we just know how to act for the best.

Too much analysis and mental processing pollutes the clarity of discernment; an overload of details makes us miss the essence.

Ignorance and Wisdom

Ignorance makes you believe that life happens haphazardly.
Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound significance.
What you see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from a seed planted in the past.
Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.

Simplicity Is Beauty

Choose a day as your day of simplicity.

Speak little, and listen with attention. Do something incognito and nice for a person you are close to. Eat simple and natural food.

Create time periods for not doing anything - just walk, look around, live the moment. Have your mind open to a more profound and silent sensitivity.

Appreciate each scene and each person as they are.

There is a myth that someone who practices spirituality gets disconnected from the world. The truth is, spiritual principles give us the right way of thinking, working and living. Spirituality is not separate from daily life. It shows the right way to go about our daily life. Being spiritual means we, the beings, use the original qualities of the spirit or soul in practical life.

1. Spirituality is not about doing something or becoming someone. It is only about being who you truly are – an embodiment of your 7 original qualities: peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and wisdom.

2. You do not need to leave your responsibilities, cut away from people and meditate all day to be spiritual. Spirituality is about being with people, working towards your goals, but taking care that your every thought, word and action is through a spiritual consciousness.

3. Spirituality does not mean meditating for one hour to feel good, and then doing whatever is convenient during the day. It is about charging the being or soul in the morning, and then using that power in your personal and professional life the entire day.

4. Nurture the soul daily through meditation and spiritual study. Mindful eating practices in a meditative state of mind and ethical ways of working energize the soul. Spiritual health is the foundation of mental, emotional, physical and social health.

Be Here Now

The past is history, so let it go. The future is a mystery, so let it come. The present is a gift – be truly in the present today and release all your fears (based on the past) and your worries (imagined futures) – this is the work of someone who truly wants to awaken, and break free from the anchors and burdens of dead yesterdays and speculative tomorrows.

Have you said to someone or has someone told you - 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦. Do you believe it is difficult or impossible to change a habit especially if it is a strong and old one? First we need to change our habit of saying I cannot change habits. Absolutely any unhealthy or uncomfortable habit can be changed. Let’s not say 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦… 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨… 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦… 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵…𝘚𝘰 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦. Anything we repeatedly do becomes our habit. Now by avoiding or changing a few times, the old habit gets finished. We need to constantly work on it even if we failed earlier. If we give up, it becomes stronger and our will power becomes weaker. Let’s confront our uncomfortable habits and ask ourselves – 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵? 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦? 𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦? Once our want to change is strong, changing becomes simple.

Is there anyone we know who has never changed a habit? Pretty sure there can be no-one. Each of us have created certain habits and changed them for some reason. The wrong belief that we cannot change habits makes negative habits stronger and blocks our transformation. Sit back and check how you control your habits, and your habits no longer control you. As you check repeatedly and create thoughts of what you want your reality to be, your will power increases. You let go of uncomfortable habits, dependencies and addictions. You will easily be able to choose what stays on your mind. There will be no habit that you cannot change. Not just small habits like drinking too much tea or coffee or watching TV while eating, you can get over deeper addictions. You will eventually become who you wish to be.

The ability to bend without breaking

True tolerance makes us flexible. And when we are flexible we can accommodate and adjust to anything and anyone and maintain well-being.

The ability to bend without breaking is linked to the amount of tolerance we develop.

When we are fully flexible, we become able to adjust to the most unexpected, negative and difficult situations and people.

Truly Precious
More valuable than the things we give to each other are the gifts of virtues we pass on quietly to others through our selfless and noble actions.

These gifts are truly precious because they are imperishable and they multiply the more we share them.

Having clarity is the key to live a life of peace and stability. But we often find ourselves wondering how to be, what to do or which direction to step towards. When the mind enters a confused state, it creates uncertainty, irritation, anxiety and fear. We struggle to move forward and feel lost. Clarity is vital for life of peace and stability. Sometimes our mind is clouded with confusion. In this agitated inner state, mind creates too many thoughts, and the intellect cannot process them smoothly. So we struggle to take right decisions or timely decisions.

1. Confusion cannot be sorted from thinking at the same level. You need to be calm and elevate your thoughts.

2. Meditate for at least 15 minutes every morning. It cleans your mind of emotional toxins and silences it. Your intuition or wisdom gets activated.

3. In the stillness of your mind, put forth your question and wait for answers. Be assured that right answers come either immediately or later.

4. Whether it is confusion in beliefs, decisions, career or relationships, solution is within you. Even if you take advice from others, take decisions based on your intuition.

Clarity helps you take charge of the situation and choose right responses. Sit back and let’s affirm how we shift towards clarity -

Just do it!

Tiredness comes from thinking about everything I have to do. Stop thinking; just do it!

Look Inwards

We all have three eyes. Two for looking out and one for looking in. Why would we want to look in when everything is happening 'out there'? Because the treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is treasure? Beauty, truth, peace, happiness. You already have what you seek. You already are stunningly beautiful. You are already peaceful and loving. How come you don't know this? Simple, you never look inwards, beyond superficial memories or recent experiences, so you never see your own riches. Take a moment to stop, look in and see. Don't rush. Don't search. Just look. And be aware.

Do you hold a belief about success and competition that 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴’ 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵? Do you aim at going ahead of other people or to perform better than your own capacity? When we compete, we cannot remain happy because of a constant insecurity and fear that someone else might go ahead of us. So even on achieving top ranks, there is insecurity. Competition creates stress, fear, jealousy, hatred and moves us away from happiness. Co-operation earns blessings and makes us successful. Success is not about racing ahead and being Number One. Success is measured by our happiness, health, beautiful relationships and our achievements. Co-operation is natural for us, so let’s live the natural way. Today, remind yourself you will constantly better yourself but not compete or compare with others. Make co-operation and not competition as your nature.

Society always encouraged us to compete and compare. We adopted the belief that life is a competition. But no matter how well we did, there was always someone with a bigger house, a better gadget or a higher position. Let us understand that no one is better, we are different. Remind yourself you are a happy being. Perform to the best of your capacity. Compare only with your previous performance. Compete with no one, but co-operate with everyone around you. Co-operate by creating good thoughts for them, co-operate by using encouraging words, co-operate by sharing what you know, co-operate by caring for everyone. Always remember your life is your journey, to your destination, at your speed, using your capacity, and on the basis of your values. From today, get off the race, focus on our path and move at a pace comfortable to you. By sharing what you know, healthy relationships will be created and you will be successful in many ways.

Pure Thought Can Reach Out

Spiritual knowledge is like a sieve through which we can filter out the untrue. Running our thoughts through it constantly ensures that we are heading in the right direction.

When thoughts are brought into action, they can be seen immediately. When the mind is filled with virtues, they will be revealed in our actions. By elevating our thoughts, we can literally end up purifying the self, inspiring others to do likewise. Our life will be the inspiration for them to change. There won’t even be the need to say anything.

Our vibrations of pure thought can reach out and touch the whole world. Our very life can do the work of a lighthouse.

Life

The wind may blow from any direction, but the direction in which you go depends on how you set your sails.

Cultivate Silence
Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas - silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of which comes all your thoughts, is silence.

The way to silence is through meditation. When you arrive in your own silence you will know true freedom and real power. Stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within you today.

When a situation is not your way, do you label it as a problem, crisis, chaos or misfortune? In reality, it is just a scene of life, meant to be the way it is. Thinking about what already happened just because it did not match your expectations, destroys your inner power to fly over it. Any situation is not really the problem, our perception about it makes it a problem. The situation is only as big as our mind perceives it to be. We often radiate negative energy by blaming, judging, questioning or trying to control the situation, which is actually not in our control. Acceptance of what happened silences the mind. Our efficiency and decision-making powers increase. We start to see solutions and new possibilities in the stillness of our mind. Our calmness influences the situation and controls the situation. Let’s always be focused on what is in our control - our response. Resolve the situation and if nothing can be done, accept it with dignity. Remind yourself, 𝘐 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

We have so many accomplishments over the years right from childhood, that we are really proud of. We must have faced many challenges along the way of achieving them. There might have been difficulties, interruptions or disagreements. Remember all those times to see how you crossed them. You will notice that whenever you were focused on solutions you would have got better results than when you were focused on the challenge itself. So, whether it is an issue in our health, in relationships, in a project, or in finances, let us cultivate a solution-oriented approach. Do not avoid or delay during challenges. As a problem-solver you start converting dreams into goals, and goals into reality. You can handle everything that comes in your way, with your solution-oriented mindset.

Que Sera, Sera
Resistance leads to persistence. Whatever you resist or push against simply persists and pushes back in equal measure. Instead, transform resistance into acceptance by practicing "Que Sera, Sera ... whatever will be, will be..."

Don’t Give Sorrow, Don’t Take Sorrow!

Don’t give sorrow, don’t take sorrow! The qualities that stop me giving sorrow are mercy, love and honesty. If someone has these, they will never even think of giving sorrow. I need to be merciful not to give sorrow and I need to be strong in order not to take sorrow. In fact, the moment you stop taking sorrow, you days of happiness have begun.

These are your eyes, your ears and your lips – it is up to you whether to take sorrow or not.

Most of us have been through phases in life where we have either done something or not done something, only because we were concerned about what other people think about us. It is so valuable to just be who we are, even if people refuse to accept us that way. But if our life is governed by public approval, we live like victims, crushed under the opinions of society. It is a symbol of great strength to just be who we are and do what feels right and comfortable to us. But often we base our decisions on public approval. We even do certain things that don’t align with our priority, values or capacity.

1. Know yourself, accept yourself and appreciate yourself, then your happiness will not be dependent on approval from others.

2. Create your own definitions of right and wrongs, values and principles. Your priorities, choices, decisions, habits need to align with them.

3. Losing people’s approval when you decide to do something which is right, doesn’t make you wrong. Your peers might own an expensive phone, but you need not be embarrassed about buying a lesser expensive model.

4. If you do anything just to please people, you may do the act but create thoughts of stress, anxiety and unwillingness.

Train your mind to live life on your terms and ignore social pressures. Stop worrying about public approval and be authentic. Let’s revise this affirmation everyday -

Have you ever wondered that apart from living a life from morning to night, full of actions like dressing up in the morning, going to work, cooking meals and going off to sleep at the end of the day, we also have a higher purpose in this lifetime? Take for e.g. a machine in your home like an air conditioner. It runs when we put it on and shuts down when we instruct it to. When it is not running, it remains idle without ever thinking that it could do something else. Does it have a higher purpose? No. Then one day comes when we discard it forever and it is abandoned. We all are human beings first and not human doings only. Human doings work from morning to night, performing different actions, without a higher purpose. Human beings have a higher purpose - to look after the being while performing actions necessary to life. So, let us not be a like a machine from today. When we step into our workplace or when we look after our home, family and friends, let us think and be aware that one day we will leave this body and take with us nothing. No financial success, professional achievement, beautiful relationship and looks and outer personality will go with you, when you are no longer in this physical costume or body.

So, pause for a minute this moment and look inwards. I love my son or daughter or husband or wife but one day they will no longer be with me, when I leave this physical costume. For me, the purpose of my life may be looking after them. But my higher purpose is looking after my inner self, my sanskaras, my inner being, which I will carry with me.
