Mind is a Tool. Use it.

The mind is a tool. We can let this tool control us or use it for what we want. The choice was, is and will be ours always.

Mind is a weapon that works against you, destroys you when you live it uncontrolled. But once you are able to control your mind, you are the master of your life.

The process of course is not easy, as mind is a powerful and wild horse. To control it, you will be able to observe it, know it and find how it transforms, changes, and what are the things that transforms/change the mind.

Everyday, find out a time when you will not be disturbed. Sit down, breathe slowly.Gradually you will be calm. You do not have to concentrate hard on something to meditate. Just be there fully aware and mindful. Watch your thoughts silently....observe your mind, how it feels, what memories it holds, and where the thoughts flow, towards where....

This is the way to observe and know your mind. You will be fully aware and mindful of the moment, you will learn to alienate your mind from you. Then you will be able to watch it transforming, changing feelings. But you will not be affected by this wild horse. Rather, you will know how this wild horse can be controlled. Practice mindfulness for 30 minutes everyday...and gradually it will become a habit. Your mind will work for you, not against you.

Teachers are like the Pole star

Great teachers are those who help us take the journey to our own self. Answers to our questions are buried in  us, waiting to be discovered. We walk million miles looking for answers, get tired and frustrated.

The great teachers have never told their disciples what the Truth is. They just showed the way to discover it on their own. For the experience of the inward journey is a part of the ultimate discovery of the Truth, the realization.


For the journey from ignorance to enlightenment can be illusive, confusing and way too  frustrating. We need a direction from those who already have walked the path. As the Pole start, a teacher will only help us by showing the right way to discover, when we fumble, get confused. But we are to make mistakes, learn from those, and move forward. The Truth is incomplete without the experience of this journey.

India...a Vision

বল বল বল সবে
শত বিনা বেনু রবে
ভারত আবার জগত সভায়
শ্রেষ্ঠ আসন লবে
ধর্মে মহান হবে
কর্মে মহান হবে
নব দিনমণি উদিবে আবার

পুরাতন এই পুরবে

A 30,000 year old civilization sums up today's Republic of India. Beneath the chaos and cacophony of commercialization, the foundation is still there...भारत.

Brahma vidhyam tasyam ramate iti Bharata

What revels in ultimate truth, what is always reveling in what the truth is...that is Bharata.

India is not just a geographical area, India is a continuous search, a vision. Let us not forget that vision. That vision is as powerful as genes, even when we are not aware of that vision, being a Bharatiya, that remains in our subconsciousness. That vision makes us unique, powerful, and everlasting.

Jai Bharat! Jai Bharatiya.

Relax and Sit Back...Let Life Unfold Its Mysteries to You

"When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky."

There is nothing to prove, nowhere to go, no race to win... I am just there where I am supposed to be, at the right moment. 

 At time, a journey to oneself takes a lifetime, a million miles...just because we stop looking within us.
Until we look inward for the wealth of knowledge, we suffer. All the questions that bother you, the answers are right there within you. But we are so preoccupied with the experiences of past and fear of future, that we stop living in the moment. Close your eyes, let your mind free from all preoccupations...let all thoughts flow out of you...and see your feelings transforming now. That moment, when you can watch your thoughts and feelings transforming, you are in this present moment. You are free, empty, and ready.


Be empty like a flute and let Nature play beautiful music and reveal her secrets to you... :D

Shiva: Ichcha Shakti, Vidya Shakti and Kriya Shakti

 Sham mangalam karoti iti Shiva

Shiv is the one who creates auspiciousness...mangalam.Shiva is a state of being...which represents three types of strengths: Ichcha Shakti,  Vidya Shakti and Kriya Shakti.

Ichcha Shakti is the power of intention or the power of "will". Ichcha shakti is the intention to destroy the inner darkness. "Udhyamo Bhairavaha". Udhyam means effort to fulfill certain intention. Bhairavaha means Shiv Himself! Every intention or effort that one make to eliminate the inner darkness itself is Lord Shiva.

Vidya Shakti means the power of understanding. Most of us think Vidya means knowledge. But according to Shiva Sutra, Knowledge binds, but clear understanding unbinds...sets us free. Vidya Shakti is acquired by having clear understanding. Confusing isn't it? Let me clarify what I understood. Knowledge binds when it is only words for the words are description. And description is not the "described". When we know the description of things, that is not knowledge. That is called Shabdagnanam. Such knowledge limits our understanding and thus, binds us.

Vidya is the clear understanding of things...which comes from complete realization, which requires no word. For words are only pointers which are pointing out to the thing. We need to comprehend the reality of the things to totally understand those. This is Arthagnanam. Only this way we acquire Vidya Shakti.

When we have Ichcha Shakti and Vidya Shakti, this is the time to act on the understanding with intention. That action is Kriya Shakti.  We know what we SHOULD do, but we do not act on that. This is as good as not knowing. We intend to end the darkness within us, and start acting on it RIGHT NOW. This is Kriya Shakti. Vidya Shakti let us open to be here and now, we start experiencing the transformation within us, we watch this happen with true wonderment. For this to happen, we must start HERE and NOW.

 When Ichcha Shakti, vidya Shakti, and Kriya Shakti are in action, we invoke Lord Shiva. He is the way from darkness to enlightenment. He is the destroyer of darkness.

Om Namah Shivay!

I will come back with more understanding of Lord Shiva....Till then,

Keep the faith!

Thoughts and feelings!

Our thought and feelings are our power, a weapon to win over unwanted situations and circumstances, a power to win everything good for us.... Everyone of us have it, but we do not use it.

Use that power. See your life changing...

The answer to "Why me!!"

“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.”
― Eckhart Tolle

 This is true. When you ask "what have I done to deserve this?" Answer is just there in front of you. These are challenges thrown to you so that you defy the boundaries which limit you. The power within you is unlimited.

Remember? Bharat Ek Khoj...

 

I always loved this title music...

(नासदासीन नो सदासीत तदानीं नासीद रजो नो वयोमापरो यत |
किमावरीवः कुह कस्य शर्मन्नम्भः किमासीद गहनं गभीरम ||)

सृष्टि से पहले सत नहीं था
असत भी नहीं
अंतरिक्ष भी नहीं आकाश भी नहीं था
छिपा था क्या, कहाँ
किसने ढका था
उस पल तो
अगम अतल जल भी कहां था

सृष्टि का कौन है कर्ता?
कर्ता है वह अकर्ता
ऊँचे आकाश में रहता
सदा अध्यक्ष बना रहता
वही सचमुच में जानता
या नहीं भी जानता
है किसी को नही पता
नही पता
नही है पता
नही है पता

(हिरण्यगर्भः समवर्तताग्रे भूतस्य जातः पतिरेकासीत ।
स दाधार पृथ्वीं ध्यामुतेमां कस्मै देवायहविषा विधेम ॥)

वो था हिरण्य गर्भ सृष्टि से पहले विद्यमान
वो ही तो सारे भूत जाति का स्वामी महान
जो है अस्तित्वमान धरती आसमान धारण कर
ऐसे किस देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

जिस के बल पर तेजोमय है अंबर
पृथ्वी हरी भरी स्थापित स्थिर
स्वर्ग और सूरज भी स्थिर
ऐसे किस देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

गर्भ में अपने अग्नि धारण कर पैदा कर
व्यापा था जल इधर उधर नीचे ऊपर
जगा चुके व एकमेव प्राण बनकर
ऐसे किस देवता ?की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

ऊँ! सृष्टि निर्माता, स्वर्ग रचयिता पूर्वज रक्षा कर
सत्य धर्म पालक अतुल जल नियामक रक्षा कर
फैली हैं दिशायें बाहु जैसी उसकी सब में सब पर
ऐसे ही देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर
ऐसे ही देवता की उपासना करें हम हवि देकर

Surrender

Surrender is just like love. That’s why I say only lovers can become sannyasins — because they know a little of how to surrender. Love is the first step towards the divine, surrender is the last. And two steps is the whole journey.
Osho

Listen

Listen to your heart. Because what your calculative mind is missing or overlooking, your heart is those noting down and asking for your attention.

My Freedom of Expression: What can change everything the way You want?

My Freedom of Expression: What can change everything the way You want?

What can change everything the way You want?

For love is the force that runs the whole universe. Loves is the creator and the foster of life. Love is the purpose and objective of every living organism. Love is God!

Replace every bad feeling within you with love...and see how it changes you and the world around you. Why is that every philosophy, religion and even since direct us to the power of love? Love and you will realize.

Love yourself, love your work, love your life and love every good thing about your life. The more you love, the more love you add to YOUR life. Give love and you will receive...start giving love to your body, your mind, your work, your hobby or passion... love your home, your family, your neighbor, your colleagues, your town, your country, the whole world...see this most powerful force changing things for you, the way you want. Love is the Power, that is within you...you just never used it!

Gratitude

'A hundred times every day I remind myself that
my inner and outer life depend on the labors of
other men, living and dead, and that I must exert
myself in order to give in the same measure as
I have received and am still receiving."
14fi1/'[;.h.-J/L..--C1879 -1955)
NOBEL PRIZE- WINNING PHYSICIST

We simply choose to ignore the fact that in our life we receive more, compared to what we give.

At times, when I am not doing anything, I think of the positive aspects (both tangible and intangible) of my life, which I get without even asking. Then I compare those with what I have given. Every time the result is the same....I receive more than I give. I receive more love than I give. I receive more help then I give...the list goes on. This fills me with gratitude...Thank you life and thank you all who make my life so meaningful and beautiful!

Love: A power we use less

Love is only knowledge we need to know and practice, in order to be happy always.
