Life, Death and Meditation

Death is both an end and the beginning. Birth and death is fixed... it cannot be changed.

What is life? Life is an extension of your previous birth. After death you are born again. To take birth one has to die first. You have been assigned a duty by almighty...and you visited this planet earth. You are merely a visitor here.

Take a stroll in the lake... without getting wet. You are not affected...you are merely performing your duty.

This realization comes, after a deep meditation. Meditation is within you...you merely have to realize it. And the day this realization comes to you...there will be no fear of death for you.

Life is so beautiful that you cling to it...you do not want to die. The nature is blissful...fountains,bird's chirpy entire universe is so exciting- - how you can die? You have not drunk the bliss yet? Yet, you have to take a deep plunge into intoxication. How you can go? You do not want to die.

Charm of this material world has affected you so badly, that you do not want to die. It is natural...get affected.

It is contradictory.I have written above, that do not get affected. Accept the contradiction, do not analyze, do not fight...get affected deeply.

And this will be the beginning. Just now you have taken forward your first step... towards Salvation. Accept the contradiction, stay affected. You will realize that...you are no more affected.

Accept whatever is coming to you,and you will not be affected. Ugly circumstances, tough times in life will not rule you. Charm of this life will not rule you.

'What will happen to my family, I have not saved enough money for them?' Each and every thing is destined. Each and every breath is fixed. Life and death is fixed. You are merely a visitor here.

Discussion and arguments will bring no results. Attachment, lust will not go. It will remain with you. And you will remain tortured, worried- - 'What will happen to my family, after my death?' 'How I can die, I haven't seen the life yet. Life is so beautiful. I do not want to die'. Such thoughts, such worries will keep disturbing you.

Your mind will always remain disturbed. And that is why many successful, affluent people remain disturbed; worried throughout their life, even after getting everything in life. So people keep saying that...satisfaction is no where. Satisfaction is within you...just look at it.

Being sensitive is good. Welcome your greed, carefully...become greedy. You must feel the pain and happiness. Indulge yourself in everything. Feel the bliss, feel the pain. Let the mundane feelings become a part of you, play with it. Control it, rule over it.

Nothing is left. Become Life, become the Universe.

You have absorbed it completely...you are no more affected. You are no more attached, with anything in life. Life after death is unknown. The more you try to know, the more confused you will become.

Can you measure the sky? Trying to know the unknown is futile. No one will ever come to know... what is life after death? Heaven and hell is within you. You merely have to realize it. Purpose of life is...to perform your duty without being attached to anything.

 Reincarnation is a miracle...sometime it happens. Whether you are going to take another birth or not is unknown, nobody will ever come to know about it.

Sign of death do comes, sometime. Prophecies, regarding one's death do happen. But it is rare. Coping with death is accepting death, accepting life. It has to come, it has to happen.

Life and death is mystery, do not try to unfold it.

Attachment with detachment is the key. Your attachment with detachment is so powerful that it has become one. And now...there is no suffering, no attachment is left...nothing will affect you.

You have become a circle- - there is no beginning, there is no end. Life begins here; life ends here...accept it.

Fear in You


in Self Help / Stress Management    (submitted 2011-04-09)

Fear is the key.

When scared...stay there, move into it. Feel the vibration...stay scared.

Just now, you woke-up. You were in a deep sleep. A nightmarish dream keeps chasing you. You are numb. You are scared. For god's sake, do not do anything to come out of it- - just stay scared.

Think, you are blessed...this deep rooted energy, wants to come out. Allow it to come...let the energy flow at the surface- - Become the fear.

Something has gone wrong, in your life. Something is happening; against your wishes... you are loosing confidence. You have become a pessimist. You are refusing to take further risks.It is very natural.

You have to overcome fear. Do not get disappointed, and start searching the way to come of it. Desire of overcoming fear is natural.

Complete failure does bring depression. Fear is in the mind...control it.When scared...stay there.

Do not move...it will chase you. Fear is very natural.You cannot get rid of it...it will come again... accept it.
Fear is an energy...use it. You must know How?

Fear is an energy,flowing inside you- -wants to come out. And just now,an unfavorable situation in your mundane life has provoked it.

You are scared. You do not know what to do? You want to run...but you are unable to move. You want to shout,but you have lost your voice. The impact of fear is so massive, that you do not know what to do?

And this is the answer. Your ignorance; your inability to do anything, has got the key...do not do anything. Do not move...remain scared. Move into your fear, with an alert mind. Keep your eyes open. Feel the fear, feel the depth...remain scared.

Look at the cause. Cosmos is full of different situations, which arouses fear in you. You are a part of this cosmos. Fear of death is very common...accept it gracefully when it comes. Every one has to go one day.

When, under the tight grip of fear... feel the fear, become brave, and it will open many ways for you. Fear, shakes your entire system...become the shake. Move into it...feel the sensation, stay scared.

Things are not happening, the way you wish... do not try to control it or do not try to change it, you cannot.

Fear of darkness, fear of height and fear of failure in exams, are very common. Some take a vouch, never to fall in love again.

Claustrophobia, is also one of the reason of fear...there are many. Fear of failure, stops you to move further...keep moving. You're cautious... alert movement will bring you closer to the reality. You will realize...fear is no more there.

You have become fearless. You are not scared now. You are ready to face other obstacles. When you become stronger, from inside, like a rock...nothing can defeat you.

And that is why; God has sent you, on this planet earth, to do your duty. God keeps putting obstacles, fear in your ways, and at the same time he is giving you courage, he is showing you the way, to come out of it.

Cast a penetrating glance, inside you...if your energies, negative or positive both, are under your control, you will feel relaxed. And this is the beginning...stay alert.You will feel blessed...your answer is within you.

And that is...Fear is the key.

Divorce, Meditation and You

Somewhere deep down... a great wind is blowing- - you are not aware of it. The solution is within you...you are not aware of it.

Your mind is controlling you... you are not aware of it. You are always thinking.

Cling to each other when divorce is unavoidable.

•Take a deep breath
•Do not do anything
•The depth of the Ocean is within you.
•And the day you feel this depth, you will realize that...to divorce is not needed.

You are going to marry someone, ask yourself a question...'do you believe in Trust'. Time is moving continuously... without bothering your suffering.

You are always being ruled by your mind. Mind is telling you the way...how to divorce. Mind keeps telling you the methods...getting over divorce. And divorce how to decide...becomes the center point, for you.

It is always present. Start living in, present... start living in moments. Time keeps changing. Ratios of divorces are increasing every day. Fights between spouses... bitterness; doubts; infidelity; adultery and many other such things, are increasing everyday.

It seems to you, that divorce or separation is the only option left... to live in harmony, to live in peace. And you start planning, your process of divorce. How to divorce becomes your main concern.

You should always keep in mind that you are responsible... you have created a family. You have created a new world for you. Obstacles; misunderstandings miseries are bound to occur... face it. Do not run away.

Ask a question to yourself, before your marriage... 'Can you tackle the unpleasant situations, in a positive way?' If the answer is yes, go ahead... a new beginning is waiting for you.

You are happily married. Suddenly an ugly situation has come up... and it is at the verge of a breaking point. Take a deep breath, look into the situation. It cannot be solved. Do not try to solve it. Accept it as it is.

Do not opt for divorce, or separations... live together. Your acceptance will create a vision in you...and you will see- - miracle is happening.

Divorce touches the tender, delicate children...in a vicious way. God has created them through you...you are responsible. Give them a healthy a life...living together.

When moving amidst difficult days... keep yourself at others place...and then, feel the reaction. Think, how you would have reacted, if you were in his/her place? You will realize... the solution is within you.

Separation or divorce might give you a convincing thought... that this separation will solve the problem. And you might come back, in a more healthy way. That never happens.

There might be a momentary relief... but the seed remained there. And it will come back, with double force...anytime. The very seed has to go.

Do not divorce, do not separate...help each other in swallowing the bitter pill. Accept the obscenity gracefully. Do not try to change, cling to it...it will go, along with the seed.

'It is easy to advice, if you live in a similar situation, then only you will realize'...such thoughts might come to you. Again, do not try to stop it...allow it to come... absorb it. Ask a question, to yourself- -'who is the boss, you or these absurd thoughts?

You should command your mind, or your mind should command you? You are the boss. You will command. Do not become a slave. Do not allow few ugly circumstances to rule you and destroy your life... you are the ruler. You should rule.

And this is meditation.
