CLASSROOM..

A room, a place where knowledge is shared and learnt. But, somehow I feel its also a place that curbs the very natural learning process....learning is 2-way process..it may take place between the teacher and students OR between the students themselves…

I still remember the ‘good’ old days when we were reprimanded for being vocal....reprimanded for speaking…how on earth can we have 40 OVER students in an unattended classroom, and expect TOTAL SILENCE…try doing that to a bunch of teachers…and then measure the volume level…
And to the amazement of all, we have a Class Monitor who stands up in the absence of the teacher, to start ‘monitoring’ the class…to start noting name of students whom they feel are talking, or laughing…sharing…whispering…gossiping..:)

Oh!! The stories children share, the stories children tell…you will be amazed to hear them, their choice of words…gosh….bliss…
Unfortunately, these vocal students will then be available for reprimand, if the teacher enters the class in time…

Why are students not allowed to be ‘FREE’ to speak, free to share, free to communicate, free to joke, free to laugh, free to ridicule in their free time..yes, we do have this free time during break/recess time…but why can’t we have it also in the classroom…classmates bonding…
I believe this is the place where the healthy bonding and constructive learning between children/students can be nurtured, where there should be no fear instilled in the hearts and minds of these innocent, yet intelligent beings…

Free to speak, free to express….this is true FREEDOM….
Note: Our current schools have classrooms just next to one another.  One suggestion can be to have bigger classrooms with reasonable distance/space between classrooms.

In this way, students’ voices will be no more be noise, but a LANGUAGE..AN EXPRESSION…
HAPPY CHILDREN produce HAPPY HOMES…and they grow to the HAPPY PEOPLE…

PEACE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM…

Yesterday night, I was surrounded with an aura of peace and solitude…

A feeling of lightness, unarmed…

Decided to sit down in that space, unperturbed, unaffected, UNCLUTCHED…..

Just residing in the space of thoughtlessness….
The calm and silence before the storm….

In the next few moments, the skies roared – with thunder and heavy downpour…
The storm has arrived….

 
When surrounded by a storm, the One who survives it - resides in the Eye of the Storm…
(Eye of the storm = the CALM region at the centre of a Storm…)




Be UNTOUCHED, UNAFFECTED…
Rise above the Storm – for the storm too will come to an end…

If there is calmness before the storm, the same will be felt after the storm…
The Eye of the Storm – is the ANANDA GANDHA (energy centre)…

Let us all reside in it – the storm will soon come to a halt…

 
After all, that ONE is the Creator as well as the Annihilator…

BE BLISSFUL!!!

CORNETTO BLACKFOREST RED ICE CREAM...

Off we went to pick something to cool ourselves due to the heating weather….

Well, the best option was definitely the CREAM with lots of ICE…
I was already beginning to savor the taste of the ICED CHOCOLATE CREAM in my mouth….

As we headed straight to the Ice-cream section of the shop…each of us began picking our choices…
I really wanted the chocolate cream but I stumbled upon this new flavor – BLACKFOREST RED..

And thought to myself…Let’s try this…for a change…
As I unwrapped it…little pink rosettes and chocolate flakes greeted me…


Arrghhhh…but there was no chocolate, much to my dismay…. L
As I journeyed into the first layer, I was surprised to greet the second layer ie CHOCOLATE CREAM….Yippee J

Ah! How my heart leapt to finally see my CHOCOLATE CREAM….
                                           
I savored every bit of it…only to be further surprised with a pool of RASPBERRY SAUCE…right at the end of the journey…
And the rest of the journey was only filled with more sweetness…
And then it dawned upon me…

Many a time, when our heart is filled with a desire, and if the desire is pure and untainted, we are blessed even more than our hearts’ desire by the Cosmos…
But before our desires are gratified, we are put through a testing/trial period – to test the ability of the Soul/Self to face down the mind…to face down the tricks of the monkey mind…to eventually be able to leap back into the Supreme Awareness which is filled with divine nectar..

The first layer of the pink rosettes can be equated to a trial/testing period - something that the mind does not favour, for this is the phase, it will be challenged head on to face the Self.
And if the Self triumphs, it qualifies itself to then be bestowed with the respective desires ie journeying into the next layer/level...much desired CHOCOLATE CREAM..

As it savors the bestowed desires with a sincere heart, the Cosmos desires to bless the Self with even more, and thus, the RASPBERRY SAUCE…
In other words, let us (SELF) face down the mind, no matter what it takes, and no matter how tricky it can be, for if we don't…we will never be able to go beyond the pink rosettes….and thus ultimately miss out on the yummy CHOCOLATE CREAM AND RASPBERRY SAUCE….  J

A BAGFULL OF BLESSINGS AT THE MAHANIRVANI AKHARA/AKHADA in HARIDWAR (CHIEF DEITY : SRI KAPIL(A) MAHAMUNI)

We were indeed blessed to be hosted by the Mahanirvani Akhada for a dinner meal, gratefulness to Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda, under whom we are being tutored into the Inner Awakening process..

As we walked into the physical compound of the Akhada, we were greeted by a sudden sense of serenity and peace enveloping us – it was so engaging…
A large building stood ahead of us as our steps advanced…the building is basically a ‘home’/’residence’ to the many male ‘Sadhus’ – ‘holy men’ who are pursuing a spiritual/religious pursuit.

 I felt so connected to the place and its surroundings…
We were first led to the upper floor, where we were blessed with the vision of Sri Kapil(a) MahaMuni, who is the Chief Deity of this Akhada.

Structurally, the building has rooms for the residents, lavatories, a kitchen, an open area, prayer area, etc. But, beyond its physical structure, the building and its surrounding was filled and contained with a sense of divine energy – so refreshing and so enlightening….
A life where there is no TV, Internet, Facebook or other forms of worldly entertainment to engage in – yet I felt so engaged while being in the surroundings of this wonderful place….

These are the places that trigger us to turn inwards to engage with Ourselves – to shut down our outer space to allow the inner space to unfold….
We were later, directed to a huge eating area, that could accommodate at least a 100 people. We were all seated on mats that were laid out for us on the ground.

As I found a seat for myself, I felt so glad – it was beyond the joy and excitement of winning a seat in the Musical Chairs event..
All of us were seated on the ground, waiting to be fed..just like children being seated in rows, before the Head of the Family serves the daily meal…J

As I sat there, I felt myself so small….the ‘I’ in me had become so insignificant….almost like non-existent….as I sat there – ‘I’ felt I was no one….
No name, no age, no identity, no profession, no nationality, no background, NOTHING…

The name and identity that we cling on to, as a form of support and recognition for our existence on this earthly plane –  all of it became so insignificant here….
We were all given plates and several bowls, for we were going to be fed with 21 dishes, all made with divine love and nectar….

As I sat there, ‘I’ felt so grateful and blessed, for being able to receive and partake this blessed food…
We had rice (one plain and one coloured), fruit yoghurt, dhals (lentils), paneer (cottage cheese) curry, chapatti, sweet chappati, chick pea curry, dry brinjal, samosas, pakoras, chutney, kheer (sweet milk)…

Each morsel of the food was filled with so much nectar…that it filled us up – beyond words…
It was a receiving experience – there was no giving – only RECEIVING, RECEIVING and RECEIVING….

When the Lord decides to shower us – He showers us with so much till even our both hands fall short in size to receive them ALL….
It was a day, the Divine Mother decided to cook Herself and feed Her dear children, to their hearts content….and subsequently for us to merge into Her….

TRIP TO HARIDWAR/HARDWAR (‘HARI’ (means Lord Vishnu), ‘HAR’ (means Lord Shiva), ‘DWAR’ (means gateway/door/entrance)}


Trip to the Gateway to Lord (Shiva/Vishnu)

A mystical land where, although filled with so much physical noise due to the uninterrupted honking of the various vehicles - resides in this, is the underlying and unexplainable silence and calmness in this city..

Displayed by the light-hearted and contented minds of the people residing here…

The physical space is shared by both man and nature – lots of cattle grazing in the greens, walking by the roads….with little conflict between the two….as both understand the Oneness of the Space they belong in…

 
One is sure to also witness the ‘Sadhus’ (India Holy men) – they radiate so much peace and calmness, without a slight taint of impurity or incompletion…..a state of just Being…


Residing in Haridwar is also Mother Ganga – the Goddess River – She starts to flow from the mountains here to flow out upon the Indian plains, gracing all with Her celestial touch……

She is full with energy and compassion…ever gracing her children who come to her to seek Her blessings…A dip in Mother Ganga will refine one of all impurities and incompletions..

Also to witness the Ganga Aarti (waving of the Fire in honour of Mother Ganga). A beautiful scenic of the Ganga Aarti  - blend of two energies – fire and water…



The lush greenery of the surrounding hills also add to its beauty and underlying mystery – trip to the Neelkanth Mahadev temple. A journey uphill, with a bird’s view of the everflowing Mother Ganga…


 
Daksheswar Mahadev temple – associated with the annihilation of King Daksh’s arrogance and ego by Mahadev and self-immolation of Goddess Sati – also to experience the wrath of Mahadev upon seeing His Sati in lifeless state…all these happenings of destruction was a start of a new cycle of creation.


 
The various body parts of Goddess Sati fell on Mother Earth and formed sites which are known as Shakti Peethas. (Shakti Peethas are shrines or divine places of the Mother Goddess)
Annihiliation and destruction is always associated with Shiva and Shakti – destruction of one cycle to make way for the other, destruction of one happening to make way for the other, destruction of the lower self to make way for the Higher Self – all leading to an INNER AWAKENING

WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF / WHAT ARE YOU FEARFUL OF? (PART 2)

From Part 1 of this Article : “Not being able to do what one wants to do – more than half the time, is due to Fear, Doubt, one’s Hesitant-nature which then results in Lack of Self Confidence – thus, UNACTION, and thus NO RESULT…L

Fear of being Rejected – Fear of being Ridiculed – Fear of Losing a Friend/Friendship
So much FEAR – what is this – are we living in the Dinosaur Age, or what?

That we have so much fear infused in our systems…
Fear arises when there is constant battle between the Mind and the Heart…

The Heart is fearless, but the Not-So Clever Mind is always on the lookout for hidden traps, and when the Heart and Mind exchange views, it results in FEAR…

Take this pill and you will be relieved of all fear – from now on, SAY what you Heart tells you to say, DO what your heart tells you to do, ACT based on what your heart tells you to do…its so simple…

Falling in love is a beautiful process – in fact its a continuous process – its happening all the time, without us being aware about it…
We fall in love with the pet animals around us, we fall in love with the beautiful flowers, we fall in love with the sunset (and sunrise), we fall in love with the drizzle of the rain, we fall in love with the innocence of the child….Oh my…

But alas, we fail to fall in love with Life itself and its wonders… and its surprises and its unpredictability…and its Spontaneity…
Please allow LOVE to flow through you, spontaneously, with no shadow of Fear…

Try taking the step of loving Life once again, and you will be relieved of all fear…J

WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF / WHAT ARE YOU FEARFUL OF? (PART 1)

They both mean the same thing – just a different choice of words.

Do you know that most of our ‘Un-actions’ is due to FEAR…
Un-action – taking no action at all although surroundings have begun to signal for an action – its like sitting on a conveyor belt – where one does not move, but is somehow ‘moved’…

Not being able to do what one wants to do – more than half the time, is due to Fear, Doubt, and one's Hesitant-nature which then results in Lack of Self Confidence – thus, UNACTION, and thus NO RESULT…L
Some of us are fearful of Death, the others of Debt, the others of Divorce, and some Dearth

One of the above does surround us at some point of time or the other….

But the Beauty of Life only starts to blossom when you ‘bypass’ the fear all these’ Big Ds’…

In these days, DEBT is a much dreaded word, but yet most spoken about..
But what is a DEBT in the real sense – in simple words, Debt materializes when one with more resources decides to ‘lend’ some of his resources to the other…obviously with a small price to it,
eg interest payment…

 
Do you still remember the childhood days when you had borrowed some money from your friend and after a day or two, returned it back to him…that was a DEBT…
But we never really heard about the word then…

But life today has become so complex and complicated…thanks to these ‘Big Ds’..
Why do we fear DEBT – by the way, the good news is , these unpaid Debts that we had obtained in a rightful manner do not follow us to eternity …if you ‘depart’ before settling your house loan, its ok – they won’t come after you in heaven/hell..:)

Well, if you have a debt – just pay them up – you can take your time to pay it or pay them up immediately, if you are able to…
I am sure, if you have taken a debt, it must be for a worthy reason, etc...

So, no need to justify to anyone…
Think of the joy, happiness and relief you derived when you had utilized the borrowed funds to fulfil the objective of obtaining it in the first place – be it an entry to the university for your education, be it for a medical bill for an old parent or be it for a self-holiday or self-honeymoon, as some may call it…

There is actually very little reason to be phobic about debts - all you have to do is PAY towards it.
And somehow Nature will find means for us to meet these debt obligations…

That's all. Period.

MONEY AND ITS MAGIC (PART 2)


Have you ever been to a store…any store for that matter….grocery, clothes, book…
And liked something – and really wanted to buy it…but when you looked at the price tag…”Uhhhhh…its too expensive – don't think this is worth the price…never mind”

This has happened way to often…has it not?
Let me tell you a secret – the minute you have this thought – think instantly about the joy you will derive when you would consume the product – here, it could be a packet of yummy yummy goat cheese, a box of dark chocolates, or it could be nice graceful dress…

“But, if I spend on this, I will not have enough to purchase…..”(another product)
This is like – money makes things worst for us – but I thought it was MAGICAL…

The present moment is so short – you don't even know what may take place the next second…
Take the MAGICAL MONEY and buy what your heart desires – trust me, you will not regret it..

Because you took the first step to let the MAGICAL money FLOW…and before you know it …more MONEY will be coming your way…
MOTTO : LET ME FLOW, LET ME FLOW, LET ME FLOW…

MONEY and its MAGIC…(PART 1)

I walked to the store today to buy my regular groceries – not an unusual sight though, at the store..

A cashier was counting her cash at the counter….loads of them.
MONEY and its MAGIC – is money really magical….

All I could see were pieces of paper of somewhat the same size, being counted….

And they say MONEY is magical…

MONEY is magical because it acts as a medium through which we are able to feed ourselves, clothe our bodies, and shelter below a roof…
MONEY would be MORE magical…if the same is shared with others…


We cry and crib all the time – especially when opening our wallets – cribbing at the fact that we do not have much as they guy ahead of us in the paying queue has…
But if we wonder closely, MONEY is nothing less than just some nicely colored PAPER…yes, obviously with some value on it…

MONEY helps us to build houses….but falls short of building a home…
MONEY helps us buy our meals…but falls short of ensuring our health….

MONEY helps us buy a bed…but falls short of ensuring a good night sleep….
AND THE LIST GOES ON….

MONEY is just like WATER….the nature of which is to FLOW freely…if it does not flow and stagnates…it begins to STINK…
MONEY, when shared, gets doubled…but when hogged and held tightly in the grip…gets halved…

MONEY does bring more than joy, when its shared with our fellow beings….
It gives you a great feeling…when we share our treasures (big or small – size does not matter here) with people around us -  known and unknown – a small gesture goes a long way to bring joy to the recipient and the giver….
After all, as they say, we should live like a king, and die a BEGGAR….

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN MS BLANK PAPER(BP) AND MR PENCIL(P)…

A BLANK PAPER…EMPTY..NO ALPHABETS, NO WORDS, NO SENTENCES, NO PUNCTUATION MARKS…
CLEAN AND WHITE….

MS BLANK PAPER LIED ON THE BROWN TABLE…WHILE MR PENCIL LOOKED UPON HER FROM HIS SIDE..FROM WHERE HE WAS LYING TOO…














MR PENCIL : HI MS BP…HOW ARE YOU DOING…?

MS BLANK PAPER : HI THERE, MR P…DOING GREAT…YOU?
MR PENCIL : ALRIGHT…I AM FEELING BORED…CAN I WRITE ON YOU?

MS BLANK PAPER : SURE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE?
MR PENCIL : WHATEVER THAT COMES THROUGH ME…BUT HONESTLY, I ONLY FEEL LIKE I AM WRITING WHEN MY MIND IS SHUT….AND THEN I QUICKLY BEGIN MOVING ON YOU, LIKE A LUNATIC DRUNKARD….

MS BP, DO YOU KNOW, YOU ARE A DARLING, A LOVELY PIECE OF THING…I CANNOT IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT YOU....IF NOT FOR YOU, I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO WRITE ON …WHO WOULD I BE ‘ENGAGING’WITH … (WITH A TWINKLE OF MISCHIEF IN HIS EYE)….
MS BLANK PAPER : (SMILES SHYLY) …I WONDER TOO, WHAT VALUE WOULD I HAVE IF NOT FOR YOU….BECAUSE OF YOU..AND OBVIOUSLY THANKS TO YOU…I BECOME CLOSE TO PEOPLES’ HEARTS…

I ONCE SAW A GIRL, WHEN SHE READ WHAT YOU HAD WRITTEN ON ME…SHE HELD ME CLOSE TO HER HEART….WITH TEARS OF JOY IN HER EYES….
MR PENCIL : (LAUGHS) WHAT ABOUT THE TIMES…WHEN GIRLS, AFTER READING WHAT I HAD WRITTEN ON YOU…THEY TORE YOU TO PIECES…HAHAHHA…

MS BLANK PAPER : THAT'S TRUE…..SO THAT MEANS, IT VERY MUCH DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WRITE ON ME…(SMILES)
MR PENCIL : WELL, I JUST WRITE WHATEVER COMES THROUGH ME…IT COULD MEAN THE TRUTH FOR SOME…IT COULD MEAN NONSENSE FOR SOME…IT COULD MEAN LOVE FOR SOME, IT COULD MEAN LITERALLY NOTHING FOR SOME…

MS BLANK PAPER : THAT'S INTERESTING….THUS I AM AT YOUR MERCY…(SIGHES)
MR PENCIL : WE ARE ALL ALIKE…WE ARE ALL DEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER….REMEMBER, I SCRATCH YOUR BACK, YOU SCRATCH MINE…(SMILES AGAIN WITH THE SAME MISCHIEF IN HIS EYES)

AND THEY BOTH LAUGHED….

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – EVEN IF ITS JUST A SIMPLE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE INANIMATE THINGS/OBJECTS …IF ONLY THEY COULD SPEAK AND EXPRESS…LIFE WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF US…
THANKS TO THE WHITE PAGE ON MY LAPTOP AND THE KEYBOARD – THESE WORDS CAME THROUGH….

ALAS, WE TAKE SUCH VALUABLE THINGS FOR GRANTED –
LIFE WOULD BE LIFELESS IF ITS NOT BEING EXPRESSED….

EXPRESS AND LIVE ONCE AGAIN….
EXPRESS IT IN GESTURES, EXPRESS IT IN WORDS, EXPRESS IT IN MUSIC, EXPRESS IT IN WRITINGS, EXPRESS IT IN ART, EXPRESS IT IN DANCE, EXPRESS IT IN POETRY…DO ALL YOU CAN TO EXPRESS YOURSELF….

LOVE - THE ENERGY

The ever-flowing energy of creation – flowing in different forms, in different names…

How not to identify with nature…if energy is the very part of nature…
We are able to relate to nature – people, places, things via their ‘energies’ that they reverberate…

If you are able to feel it - the very reverberating energy that exists in everything and nothing - speaks in only one language – and that is LOVE…
And that’s why we see the sun shining, stars and moon glowing, flowers blooming, birds flying, mothers nourishing….



And that’s why, LOVE is beyond name and form…
If we just introspect just a little, we are sure to feel this energy reverberating around us, within us, part of us…and we are sure to experience this very energy called LOVE…

LOVE IS FUN
LOVE IS AN ADVENTURE 

LOVE IS THE JOURNEY ITSELF  - NOT SURE IF IT’S THE DESTINATION
LOVE IS PLEASING

LOVE IS SPONTANEOUS
LOVE IS BEYOND THE MIND

LOVE IS GIVING
LOVE IS FEELING FREE

LOVE IS CREATING
LOVE IS MUSIC
 
LOVE IS LIFE ITSELF…

A SILENT CONVERSATION....


A silent conversation emerges from the being of Radha when her eyes beheld the sight of Krsna, her Beloved:

Oh Dear Krsna, where have YOU been?
I have been waiting here for You all day...

My eyes longed to see this beautiful and charming Form appearing...
They waited so impatiently, yet patiently, to drink in Your form...

My ears longed to hear Your sweet voice..calling out my name, 'Radhe, Radhe,'

But more than ever, my hear pained..
Oh! How incomplete my being feels without You..

Oh Dear Krsna, please do not put me through this painful plight again..

Krsna smiles as He listens intensely to Radha's silent words, with His penetrating deep into her being...and then helds her hand close to His heart..and a DEEP SILENCE envelopes them..

All expressed and experienced in the Realm of Silence..

BEAUTIFUL.

COMPATIBILITY IN A RELATIONSHIP…

I one day sat, and wondered, why am I not able to attract the right person to Myself…
What ‘blocks’ have I created in my path, that is hindering me from finding the ‘right’ person…

There were a few…fear of unknown, fear of being dumped, fear of being hurt, fear of the past recurring…
How do I complete with this…

a)      Fear of unknown – life itself is unpredictable…nothing is certain or permanent…that’s the world we live in….no companion is permanent…
             We all move on to new things, new experiences, new relationships, all for the better..

b)      Fear of being dumped – life again, is filled with ups and downs…people come and go from our lives…holding on to them, would be like placing huge boulders in a fast flowing stream, which slows down the flow of the ‘water’....both ours and theirs…
             Be like the smooth flowing water in the river, flowing freely to take shape within the banks   
             of the river…

c)       Fear of being hurt – here, we have to face fear in the face…saying what one has to say, and doing what one has to do…then, fear will not touch us….
              The only way to be free of fear of being hurt is to feel free from it…the feeling that nothing
              can hurt us….and even if so, the physical effects of it cannot ‘HURT’ our soul….

d)      Fear of the past recurring – life is a series of events/lessons…once the lesson is learnt, the same lesson is not repeated…
              Again, be free and not tied to past events – if we ‘free’ ourselves, nothing can clutch on to
              us…

Life is beautiful, but its also a magnet – if we coat it with negativity, it will attract its similar likes…likewise, if we coat it with positivity, we will attract a host lot of positivity…
But there was one more thing, which remained in my subtle thoughts/memory/subconscious – I had always looked out for ‘compatability’ in potential partner…be it in faith/belief, lifestyle, profession, academic background, and the list goes on….

Then it occurred to me, there was actually NO NEED for a compatibility check….for we are all different….and people change with time – and so do their faiths, lifestyle, professions….
We have seen couples moving apart – for they no more find themselves compatible to their partners…

The secret is – to NOT EXPECT our partners to CHANGE in order for them to fit within our compatibility criterias…it will never work..
The only way is for us to ACCEPT THEM as they are and for them to ACCEPT US as we are…..

This way, both will have their SPACE to develop themselves and grow in a relationship…
Thus, both will appreciate the SPACE that exists between both of them..the INNER SPACE…

After all, life is A journey WITHIN….the journey from oneself TO ONESELF….


 

NON –DUALITY OF THE MIND LEADS TO EXPANSION…


A vision of non-duality is the very source of expansion in our vision….its basically the very source of the way we perceive life around us..

DO WE SEE LIFE IN PAIRS OF OPPOSITES – Or do we see life void of all opposites…
It depends on how we choose to see it….

All opposites are relative in nature – and not absolute…
One can be rich – and poor at the same time – it depends on the ‘yardstick’ against which his ‘wealth’ is measured…

There is no ugly or beautiful…
There is no right or wrong….

What seemed ‘wrong/acceptable’ at one point in time, today its seen as ‘acceptable/no more wrong’…
Its the society that we live in  - that have placed such ‘tags of duality’…

And, society changes with time….
We can choose to change with times….or better still, BREAK AWAY from all social norms and conditioning…

To feel free to be oneself, and to let others be free to express/be themselves.
Let us not be judges to situations/people..

Let us shake ourselves off ALL SOCIAL CONDITIONING…
Then only, will we be able to experience ‘LIFE’…..or else, its just plain living…

GREATEST ENEMY OF MAN = EGO

Why so much of it prevailing – some call it Vitamin E, unfortunately…

UNLIKE the natural Vitamin E from the sunlight, this Vitamin E tends to BOOST AND PUMP ONE’S NATURAL ENERGY…DOWNWARDS, unfortunately…
It takes us to a SO-CALLED ‘Higher delusive level’, especially, since we have been pumped-up…but that level is temporary - and there is nothing natural about it, unlike the nature of Ourself….

Some gush of excitement floods in, heading straight to the Head, and that’s where the excitement starts to spread to the rest of the space available….
In that excitement, some words and released, some thoughts are expressed in actions….strange, this excitement doesn't result in silence….

Now, take a step back….did you like what you just said and did?
Think HARD….and think LONG…

You may not like to take too long on this….but if you do, it will help you…
“Eeeewwww…..I hated what I said and did….it seemed like some poison had sting me – causing me to say and do such things…..” –  some very few may come up with this thought….well, at least, someone…

Well, after all, this Vitamin E (EGO) is not doing you/me any good….
So, lets dump it…

 
 

BLIND DEVOTION = NO DEVOTION

What is devotion? The act of devoting oneself to an object, objective, person, purpose, etc…

But the greatest of all is DEVOTION TO ONESELF…
For eventually, we are part of everything AND everything is part of us.

DEVOTION TO ONESELF – being honest to oneself – no hypocrisy, being sincere to the voice within, being responsive to nature and its messages, being honest and sincere to Creation…
DEVOTION TO ONESELF – harmony in thought, word and deed…say what you mean, do what you say….

For its in oneself, that the One resides and vice versa…
All objects, objectives, person and purpose contains in the ONE....

Objects, objectives, person and purpose   - are external in nature…only to help us to go WITHIN (internal journey)…..
It's the shortest journey – from oneself to Oneself BUT it can also be the longest….

SINCERE SINCERITY OF THE HEART, SINCERITY TO THE VOICE WITHIN, HONESTY TO ONE’S FEELINGS & THOUGHTS…..
No shortcuts…or else it will only be BLIND DEVOTION….
