Your Emotions are NOT You

Happiness is a state of being, that we are supposed to be and also, that state is our ultimate aim and destiny too.


Yeah, we do blame a particular situation, a person, or a painful past, even find the self guilty! We just need one reason to be sad. Why do we ignore so many reasons that can make us happy?

Your emotions are not you. Neither your mind is you. Any kind of emotion is a natural part of life, a result of having a body and a brain. Like every living human being, you are to witness those emotions come and go.

Emotions are temporary, YOU are eternal.

When you are suffering emotionally for a certain situation, loss of loved one... betrayal etc. first things first, DO NOT push away your painful thoughts. You think and reject, then again think and reject. This will not help you come out of that situation. By doing so you are escaping.

Accept the pain. Accept the certain situation in your life. Accept that it is there (or it is not there). Then watch your emotions reacting to the situation. You be there, witness your emotions. You scream, weep for hours, hurl things to that person's photo or do whatever it takes to release those emotions.

While you watch yourself releasing those emotions....you let go of those painful emotions. You just watch those emotions pouring out of you, while you watch and experience the whole process.

This process of witnessing how your mind reacts to that painful situation  or about a person, you let go of thinking about it. Slowly, the situation in your life let go of you. And you regain YOU, the eternal one.

I will come back with more realization...till then,
Keep the faith!

Satyam Shivam Sundaram

The heart is like a flower

“The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realise that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realised we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide. Little by little, practice opening your heart to those you think have hurt you. Realise it wasnt them that hurt you, it was yourself. And it taught you not to trust and you closed your heart. A closed heart is in need of opening. And when you do, you will have begun to heal yourself.”

You Grow with Your Experiences When You are Living in the Moments

Life is to grow

Every day is an opportunity to grow a little more...  in pain or in pleasure...our existence is a long learning process. Knowledge earned from life experiences take us one step forward to eternal happiness.

The fact is we will not grow without experiencing each and every feelings of joy, grief, satisfaction, destitute, accomplishment, fullness, void, loss, wonder, cheer, stress, agony, ecstasy.....and many more 'unexplainables'.

Without experiencing each and every type of feelings, our knowledge is incomplete. This learning takes many lives....so it is important for us to be alive each moment. Open your doors to life, increase the level of awareness to experience life. When you are fully aware, you are here and now experiencing each moments with full awareness, you grow up intellectually, emotionally and thereby spiritually.

That is why in our life we will not find anyone who never had a moment of sorrow, or never experienced happiness. For each life has its own parameters, but they do experience, and learn and grow up intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.

Life is experience. So, never feel afraid of making an experiment. Successful or unsuccessful, every experiment in life is worth it. If you really are looking for something, never stop the search...

Bottom line is never be afraid of your experiences, never stop questioning and looking for answers yourself. When you stop, life stops, your growth stops.

I will come back with more realizations...till then

Seven Chakras (Energy Centers)

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
