Meditation, Desire, Dream, and You...

And desire won't end; till your last breath. Some claims that they have become desire-less; there is no desire left for them. They claim further that they have related themselves to God. And they do not desire anything. Do never lead a tasteless life. 

You are human; not a Robert. You must desire; you must dream. Dreamers are romantic. Fill your life with romance. Fill your life with the thrill. Meet everything; which life brings to you. Success, failure, sorrow, happiness, ups and downs; meet everything. 

Remember, your this meeting with life is not an ordinary meeting. Here you are meeting with life; here you are meeting with you.

Now it sounds dubious. It means life and you; you and you are two different entities. It is. Because in you; oneness is missing. You have developed many parts of you; inside you. You are scattered. That's why some say; they do not desire; they have become desire less.

This becoming desire less is very high point of meditation. If it is coming through meditation; this is very high. And it can certainly be misleading too. Meditation is risky also. This risk factor in meditation comes through your mind. 

Your mind is cunning; it brings confusion. For example; suppose you are sitting hours together, doing meditation, concentrating on one object. And this practice you have been doing since ages. Now you start thinking that something is happening; you are no more the same. 

Now you have achieved something; this starts appearing to you. And you start behaving like a saint. You start giving sermons; you start quoting from religious books. Now you are developing followers. And you are a religious guru. This is dangerous.

When you have practiced meditation for hours together, concentrating on one object; naturally you will feel tired, lazy, relaxed, dull. And during those hours of dullness; your mind creates delusion inside you, that you are gaining something divine. It is nothing but dull; tuneless.

Your mind is sick. You in a state of hallucination. And, during those hours of hallucination this thought comes to you that you are awakened. Actually, you're not, you have become bad to worse.

Another example; you sprinkle holy water to purify you, or the particular place. It purifies; till the water, moisture is there. After some times the water evaporates, you or the place become dry. Again, the situation, after reaching 99 points, like a game in snake and ladder, you come back to zero. And you sprinkle holy water again; and this continues.

Do not practice meditation in sleeping state of mind. You have to wake up. Understand you first. Control your mind. Do not get controlled by your mind.

Meditation is awakening; where you understand things. Where you take life in an easy way. Where you accept mundane crisis in the right way. Yes, sometimes adversity do creates serious problems in life. But then you are the one who has to handle it.

God never comes to the earth; to remove hurdles from your life. God can create hurdles; but, it is you who have to remove these hurdles. Desire is beautiful. Dream is beautiful. 

Desiring for desired life, or dreaming for a certain kind of life, along with a a proper effort; is a blessing itself. Whether getting the desired results or not is another thing. Your sincere efforts, even after receiving several failures in life, make it important.

Living life with head high, even after losing everything in life; is success; that is prayer. Not bowing down against the pressure, against the mundane stress; is certainly not an easy job to perform. 

Maintain your health. Become strong. Do not succumb to injury, under any circumstance, and keep on fighting for the justice. If you have to fight to the God; for the justice, then fight with the God. 

Fighting with the God for your desired result; fighting with the God for your dream, is Prayer. 

You must desire. You must dream. That is life. That is a fragrance. Desire is natural. The dream is natural. Remember, what is natural; is God. God is natural. Nature is natural. You are natural. So, how can you avoid; or how can you try to curb what is coming naturally to you.

 And if you do not desire; if you do not dream; how you will live a colorful life? This life is colorful. Desire; Dream, makes life beautiful; it makes life worth living for.

Meditation does not mean living a dead life. Meditation is beautiful. Meditation is full of life. Meditation is like a circle; where all angles are same. Where desire; dream, fulfillment; stops bothering you. 

And, this is the stage of Nirvana, Celibacy. But to reach this stage, to move ahead desire, to move ahead, dream; you must desire; you must dream...

God and Happiness; Meditation and Prayer- and, if God is not listening to you?

Forget God; become your own God, if God is not listening to you. Concentrate on you; concentrate on your mind. Your mind will show you the way. Your mind is very powerful; use this power of yours.

Instead of getting frustrated; or, instead of becoming vindictive; or instead of feeling jealous; use your mind. Use your energy in finding the way; how to use your mind?

Do not waste your time in pleasing God, or finding the reason; why God is not listening to you? Forget the reason of your failure; whether you are incompetent or, you are a victim of your previous life sin; and God is punishing you in this life. Forget all these rubbish; and concentrate your energy in finding the way out inside you.

There are many Gods. The beauty of God is He/She is everywhere. So, to find the key to happiness of yours; you have to search God; you have to look within.

It is your happiness; it is your life. You have to search this answer within you. frustration; feeling jealous, or feeling vindictive is natural. Do not bother much about these things; your target is to find the answer of your happiness. become your own God. And solve your problems.

It is always you; who can solve your problems. No other God will come to your rescue. Yes, to gather inner strength; practice meditation. Meditation makes you strong; from inside. Meditation opens your eyes; to look within. For physical; practice yoga. Yoga keeps you healthy.

Combination of Meditation and Yoga; keeps you alive, with a radiant complexion; under any circumstance.

Depression, anger, whatever is coming to you; allow it to come; allow them to hit you; stay unaffected. Do never try to stop anger or frustration; it is natural, they will come to you; allow them to come, do not try to stop them; you cannot, allow them to come.

Stay alert; stay awakened, accept; whatever is coming to you through meditation. Keeping yourself fit is extremely important under any circumstance. If you're healthy; if you are strong; then only you can look within. and the day you understand how to look within; and the day you start looking within; you will find your answer there; hidden within. 

God is residing inside you; continuously She/He is asking you to look within; yelling "I am here within you". 

Stop worrying. Worry causes stress; and stress creates chaos inside you. You cannot listen to God's calling amid chaos; inside you.

And the day you understand you; and the day you understand what life is; God will start listening you. Have faith in you; if you are having faith in you; you are having faith in God. And this is the key word 'faith'. 

You have been taught all through your life, that have faith in God. You must have listened to others saying that, because you are not having faith in God that is why She/He is not listening to you.

And instead of looking within, you start searching God in religious places; in holy books. and your misery continues. Simple things never attracted you; because you have been taught to set a goal first, then prepare yourself to achieve your Goal.

You do no have to achieve anything. Your preparation to achieve something is faulty. That is why you become frustrated when you do not get your desired results. And you waste your whole life in finding the reason; why God is not listening to you.

And then you create more damage to you; when you start preparing yourself; how to please God? 

You have forgotten yourself completely. You are continuously busy; in achieving something, and in pleasing God, and finding ways to happiness.

Stay here; wherever you are. There is nothing to be achieved; it is there inside you. How happiness will come to you; how God will listen to you? 

And, unless you keep you happy; happiness will not come to you; God will not listen to you. Your voice is not reaching to God; how She/He will listen to you?

How to compel God to listen to you, and, how to keep you happy- just forget God, and look within; and you will find, God is listening to you...

God, Meditation- Is Living Important?

And the day mystery of that Mysterious Smile; gets unfolded before you...

And before sending you on this earth; God whispered in your ear that- "Do not worry for anything, I am always there with you".

And to keep the mystery of the universe intact; God, before whispering in your ear, before sending you in this world, God kept this knowing with HIM/HER, that 'I am there with you'.

And God smiled; and, God sends you on this earth; and then; The Creation started moving; along with you.

And then one poet wrote somewhere- "Whatever I have got, I am satisfied with that; I have always considered that as my destiny, and every worry I have blown away in my cigarette smoke..."

Is living important? This is the question mark? The answer is questionable. Is it important to get the answer? This is the question; you ask yourself. This is very important.

Unless, there is a will, unless there is happiness; unless there is love; and, unless there is a God; is it important to live. And if it is not; then what is the meaning of Life? And if it is yes; then, how to live life? Questions and answers never ends.

How to live your life; is important. The answer, of the question 'is living important', is hidden here; how to live? This question mark has your answer; how to live?

Living is an art. First, understand you. Then understand life. Then seek the answer. Otherwise; let it sail; the way it is sailing. Whatever God has given you enjoy with that; and stay satisfied. Or, to get whatever you want from your life; get whatever you want, from God.

And gaining your desired results, or achieving your desired results; you have to understand life; you have to understand you. 

And, before sending you on this earth; God whispered in your ear that; 'I am there always with you'. 

But God had to maintain the mystery of the universe. Otherwise, SHE/HE would have created an ugly world. 

So, to justify and to keep the beauty of this universe intact, God had to make this mysterious universe. It is a believe that; there always stayed a mysterious smile on the Lord, Krishna's face. This mysterious smile is God.

This mysterious smile is Lord, Shri Krishna. so, the question is; is living important? 

And to keep the mystery of the universe intact; God, before whispering into your ear, before sending you in this world, God kept this knowing with HER/HIM, that 'I am there with you'; and God smiled; and, God sends you on this earth; and the Creation started moving; along with you.

So, though, God has always existed within you; you never realized this. Power of realizing this, that God is there within you is not known to you. And, to get the answer, that; is living important; you have to realize, that God is there within you. You have to unfold this mystery. 

And, unfolding this mystery is not possible; at least by you. So, you never got the answer, that 'is living important?' You are born inquisitive; you are always tempted to know, What is the mystery; you are curious to know; 'what is that mysterious smile on Krishna's face?'

And the day you unfold this mystery; the day you get to know the meaning of that mysterious smile; that very moment you will get your answer, 'is living important?

Now another question- how to unfold, how to know the meaning of that mysterious smile? one after another question keep coming to you; and your life goes on. 

And then, someone suggested; and then someone wrote; "whatever I have got, I am satisfied with that' I have always considered that as my destiny, and every worry I have blown away in my cigarette smoke..." 

Idiosyncrasies differ. You are satisfied; you are OK; you do not need to unfold the mystery.

But if you wish to see; if you wish to unfold the mystery; behind those mysterious smile; then you have to understand, then you have to know You; you have to understand, what life is; and, you have to know- "why Krishna is always smiling; in a mysterious way?"

To live life; to know the meaning of this life; and, to get the answer of your question, 'is living important'- Just, simply, cast a deep penetrating glance within you. And this great power, casting a glance within, comes through meditation.

Meditation opens every door for you. Techniques of meditation differ; meditation is same. all roads lead to one place. 

Now, another question, why to cast a deep glance within? 

Your life is full, of questions and answers. You keep seeking answers. And, that is the place; where mystery is hidden 'seeking', 'desire to know'.

And unless you desire, and, unless you wish to know, unless, you are inquisitive to know; you will not get the answer. Then you do not need to know. then you can blow away your worries in your cigarette smoke; and accept your life as it is; the way it is coming to you.

Your wish is God; your desire to live your life; that very desire is holding the mystery behind those mysterious smile. 

And if you wish to insist; if you wish to get your desired results; if you wish to know the answer; 'is living important'; and, finally, if you wish to live your life; the way you wish then-

• take a bath
• look at the morning; the way it is happening
• the way morning light is expanding its arms to embrace the universe
• you are within the embrace
• feel the embrace
• open your eyes

Cast a deep penetrating glace within; you will get your answer 'is living important?'

Now nothing is needed. This is the stage of 'Samadhi'; this the stage of accepting renouncement.

And when you are in 'Samadhi', you will come to know- "why Krishna is always smiling in a mysterious way"...

Meditation, Stress, Inspiration, and You...

And to rekindle the lost faith; and to regain the power of youth, and to smile again, and to look at the life again; you do need inspiration. You need to be inspired. You need to be encouraged.

Just look within; and get inspired. Get inspired from you. Get inspiration from nature. Nature is within you. You have limitless potentiality. Inspiration comes through you. 

STRESS is inevitable; it has to come. Everybody is stressed; sometimes it is serious; fatal.  Either broken relationship, or failure in exams, life; sometimes breaks you completely.

Sometimes, stress becomes the reason for someone’s suicide. The famous line, ‘sometimes, a time comes when your own shadow desert you'.

What to do? How to get rid of your stress? How to stay young; forever? What are techniques of meditation?

Surviving adversity, maintain the youth, stamina, the smile, is not easy; not a rocket science either.

These are the topics I share my experiences. I sincerely wish to bring smile on your face. My sincere wish is, to give you a reason to live your life in a healthy way; under any circumstance; without losing the grace.

If, my experiences inspire you; I shall think that I have lived my life. 

For youngsters; today’s youth, I wish to indicate; how to enter eternal youth through Meditation; without getting bored.

Quote from one of my articles in techniques of meditation, ‘Adversity, Destiny, Fate, and you’-

“and when adversity beckons, answer the call, gracefully; look into the eyes of the adversity, a very deep penetrating look and the day this happens to you, mark my words; you will start writing your own destiny…”.

And someone asked me yesterday, ‘What is your age?’ “I am as old as mountains; and as fresh as morning breeze”; I answered.

Yes, This is possible- Let us explore together; little more…

Meditation, Suicide, Stress, Happiness, and You...

And you are not listening to God's calling. And you are not happy.

You have everything in your life, and you are not happy. Something is troubling you. Reasons are limitless for not being happy. Every minute; every second a new reason for not being happy takes birth; and you are not happy. What to do? Somehow you have to be happy. but you do not how.

The more you try to become happy; the more sad you become. happiness comes with sadness. And, the life keeps moving; you do not move. 

You are stuck at the same place finding the reason for becoming happy. You should find the way of becoming happy; now. Otherwise, life will move ahead; it is already, continuously moving.

What to do; just move with the life. Do not stay at the same place and either keep brooding; or keep yourself occupied in finding the way of becoming happy.

You must have seen; observed, that sometimes, in a very affluent family; a very famous person, who has got everything at his disposal, commits suicide? Many celebrities; film personality, sports star; you keep listing the news that out of depression they have committed suicide. 

Now this depression, stresses in life becomes the main reason to commit suicide. You keep wondering; this person had everything in his/her life; they have achieved everything in their life; how come they commit suicide.

If you look at yourself, you will find; that you are the same; you are not less. The same tendency of not becoming happy is prevailing everywhere. You are not happy. You are not satisfied.

Mundane stress, has snatched peace with your life; it seems so. I keep saying this, that; your answer; your solution, is lying within you. 

You are, the question you are the answer. Just you have to look within. It costs you nothing. You have to just look within; and the next moment, you are happy. Your sorrow is gone. Your stress is gone. What a magic. It is miraculous.

And now, your mind starts playing its game; your mind tells you not to believe this; just looking within; it is so stupid, disbelieving. Your mind keeps telling you that looking within is stupid; it is a waste of time. And lured by your mind's instruction you start searching the ways of becoming happy. 

There are many books written on this subject; 'How to become happy and successful in your life?' and sometimes; they are considered best seller books. 

Those author claims that their book have changed many lives. And you find it more scientific. Happiness, Satisfaction, is there in some books; some of them are considered religious.

Now, not following your religion; is blasphemy; this what you have been taught. And, with your conditioned mind; you start searching peace; happiness in books. The result is zero. Aftermath; you commit suicide. And, the chapter of your life is closed. 

The problem with you is; you are running after dead things. Dead things; gives you pleasure. Life; has no meaning to you. Wind is blowing you are not concerned. Wind is touching you; you are busy thinking of someone's insult. You are busy thinking; how to take revenge? 

Your mind keeps telling you; 'unless you take revenge I am not happy'. And, mind has to be happy. your mind has to be satisfied. It is natural; you will be stressed. Now you take refuse in your religion; your God. There are many Gods; every religion has a God. And you take refuse in your God; the unknown.

You start finding peace, happiness in books. Your God is smiling at your stupidity; sitting inside you. God is very kind; very generous. God keeps shouting; yelling at you, indicating; "I am here inside you; come to me".

And you are not listening to God's calling. Because you are busy searching God; in books; in religious places. Stress,  has to come. Unhappiness, has to come. Difficulties, has to come. Sorrow has to come. To get rid of these stresses; you have to accept life first. 

You have to accept life as it is. Do not interfere; the way life is coming to you, accept it. And while doing so, while accepting life as it is; stay awakened, stay alert. and then look within. You do not have to do anything extra for this; simply, just look within.

This power of looking within comes through Meditation. Meditation techniques, how to practice meditation, differs. Practice all techniques of meditation; whatever comes your way, and choose one; the best suited to you; and start practicing meditation.

Meditation is awareness; how to look within? And, in spite of all your stresses, in spite being amid your adversity; the moment you look within; you are happy. Because, the moment you look within, you start a conversation with you; that is self-talk. 

And when you are talking to you; you are talking to the Almighty. No words are needed here; only silence is here. And, amid deep conversation with you, you will get the answer of being happy; within you...

Meditation. Happiness, Sorrow, and you...

And, to reach beyond meditation; you have to meditate. 

Life is beautiful.  The reason of its beauty is its capacity, understanding; to accept everything.

Do not cling to your life; do not hold your life too tightly...

To become happy; you have to accept sorrow. There is no harm in staying in a sad mood; when sorrow comes. There is no harm in staying in a sad mood; sometimes. Pain has its own pleasure. Do never try get rid of your sorrow state. 

This is natural; nothing to worry about. If you seek only happiness, then you will be bored. Then happiness will not give you pleasure. Sorrow and happiness both come; accept it with a grace. The best time; the best situation to meditate is; when you are sad. Sadness is not negative.

Actually, sadness is a very sound foundation of happiness. If your life is built on a strong foundation of happiness; then, your life will produce cheerful results for you. And this is possible; if you accept your sorrow with a grace. 

Positive and negative, both always stay together. You cannot imagine of one without the support, or existence of another one. Sorrow and happiness stay together. Good and bad; stay together. Wright and wrong stay together. 

The problem starts, when you refuse to accept the negative; and you start trying to get rid of the negative in your life. There are many books written on positive thinking. It is simply thinking; it is you who have been making it either good or bad. And you start trying to get rid of your negative aspect of your life. Accept both.

Result; look at the chaos all over; around you. Now, it is natural to get rid of this kind of unhappiness; which you have created for you. And, to get rid of this kind of happiness; accept both. And, when you are accepting life as it is; this it is a state of bliss.

In the a state of bliss also sorrow; problems come; but here, you are mature, wise enough to understand your life. This understanding; comes through meditation. And, to reach beyond meditation; you have to meditate. 

Life is beautiful. The reason of its beauty is its capacity, understanding; to accept everything. 

Do not cling to your life; do not hold your life too tightly; it will suffocate. Accept the movement of your life; accept whatever your life is bringing to you; stay unaffected. 

And for that, staying unaffected, meditate. Meditation is the key, in understanding life; understanding you. Meditation is important. And through meditation you reach a state where you realize, for the first time that; meditation is not needed. 

Here, you understand your life; you understand yourself. And, when this understanding comes to you; you are not affected, by the mundane natural happening in your life.

Here, when you reach this state of mind where everything, good and bad, Wright and wrong is same to you; here, you are only happy. Here, only happiness prevails…

Meditation, Investment, Money, Success-Failure, and You...

Success, finds its way to prove its strength; the reason behind the success. Failure, loses its face, to prove its innocence; the reason behind the failure. 

Success and failure; both happen; accept both. If you are successful; you are happy. If you are a failure; you are condemned from all angles.

If you’re a failure; certainly you have committed some silly mistakes in life; or you are not educated; or you are not intelligent, you are dumb; and definitely you are a sinner of your previous life, that is why you are a failure in this life; the Lord is punishing you for your past life sin. Accept everything. 

Success and failure, both happen; and happening have no criteria. Watching these happenings; staying a witness, and enjoying your life; indeed, is life. 

Perform your duty and enjoy your life. You can make an effort; the result is not in your hands. There are many books written; about, how to become successful in life. This very ‘how’ is the problem. you can earn money; while putting your finger on the right nerve. 

Finding the reason behind the success and failure in life; is futile. Do not waste your time in discovering the mystery; how the Universe moves? Rather, enjoy the universe; enjoy its mystery. Futile energy and wasted energy will lead you nowhere. 

And, precisely this is what you have been doing all through your life. You are busy in becoming happy. You are busy in finding the method of happiness. You are busy securing your life. 

When death will knock your door, you are not aware. And missing the beauty of the moment, you are staying in your future; finding the way, how to become happy in your life? And then there is a book on that.

Investment is another factor. Indeed, very important factor in one’s life is to learn how to invest. For this you have to start early; though it is never too late. But, at an advanced age, it becomes difficult to utilize the intelligence, what you have learned as an investor. 

This is a very important topic. Here, it is defined, you must learn investment. On this topic, Investment, many have written. All are good. But my personal is Robert Kyosaki; of ‘Rich dad, Poor dad’ fame.

Learning investment, you should start early; it takes time. At an advanced age your strategy, what you have learned as an investor, might change. Remember, it is important, ‘Time, Person, and Place’ matters. And, one has to work accordingly. 

Therefore, at an advanced stage of your life, if you are starting investment, your strategy will, and should change. Keeping in mind ‘Time, Person, and Place, theory, you should invest. Actually, your mind invests. Your mind is powerful. And it is your mind, which solves your problems. 

Money does not solve your problem; it is your mind which solves your Problems. Money is an extremely important aspect of your life. You should earn. To live your life, to meditate; ‘financial freedom’ is a must. 

And to be financially free, you must learn investment. Meditation is a miracle. Meditation is to reach. Richness gives you financial freedom. Meditation tells you, what to do when you are financially free. 

You have to be worry free; if you wish to live a happy life. If you are learning investment with controlling your life; then, nothing like this. 

This mind control method comes through meditation. And when your mind is in control; your investment strategy will creates miracle for you. 

Then, in that state of mind, when your mind comes under your control; and you are financially independent; whatever happens to you; in those moments of ecstasy, stay there, and simply drink the Nectar…

Meditation, Freedom, and You...

Applause never keeps me high; and criticism never pulls me down- I know, where I am. I shall not be defeated”. 

Freedom is important. 

You have to feel the fragrance of your life. Life is beautiful. You have not seen your life; hence, it might appear absurd to you. You need freedom to see your life. You have to be free. Free from all bondage; performing your mundane duty. Yes, it is possible. 

There are some people who renounce everything for freedom; and freedom never comes to them. In a quest of freedom; they renounce everything; even their own family; with whom he has stayed; years together. 

They renounce everything; even their own family; in the quest for freedom. They did not understand the word ‘freedom’. Result; you have hardly seen any happy monk? The monks might appear happy; but deep down within them are disturbing. Now, there is no way for them; they cannot go back to their family. And that is natural. 

The word ‘Renounce’ is being greatly misunderstood. Renouncement does not mean abandoning. The real meaning of the word; Renounce’ is; acceptable. Yes, here you are accepting everything, whatever is happening in your life; unconditionally.   

Here, you have to stay, Here; You do not have to go anywhere; here, you do not have to achieve anything. 

Here you are not making any difference between right and wrong; you are simply accepting everything; staying aware, alert. The word acceptance is renouncement. For freedom, You don't abandon anything; and you do not have to go to Himalaya, staying naked, practicing meditation; to become a monk.

Being in life; witnessing everything is meditation. This form of meditation; this stage of meditation takes you to a stage; where everything, good and bad, right and wrong; everything appears same to you. 

Here, applause does not take you to an unreasonable height. Here, criticism does not pull you down; here you are the same. Here you are not affected by the mundane happening in your life. Here, you are simply performing your duty; for your family. And here you are not affected by the mundane disturbance in your life.

Here, you have understood what life is? Applause never keeps me unreasonably high; and criticism never pulls me down- I know, where I am. 

I shall not be defeated”. This should be the mantra. In certain cases, abandoning life, and retiring to an unknown secluded place, in order to get freedom; might be seen as escapism. And an escapist cannot be free; an escapist cannot get freedom. 

You are born as a monk. And to realize this; you have to be aware; you have to be awakened. 

Accept your life; and its mundane happening, as it is; staying aware, alert. Meditate; only meditation can open doors for you; from where you can look within. 

Remember, only meditation can do this. Only through meditation you can reach a stage; from where you can look within. 

And the moment, you look within; you will find, that deep within you; are silent. And when that silence of yours touches you; in a cosmic trance, that very moment you are liberated. 

And when you are liberated, you will realize that just now, for the first time in your entire life, you met; Freedom. This is freedom from Meditation…

Meditation, Law of Attraction, Self-belief, and You...

And this is true- “The day, believing in you, you challenge the Universe; the entire universe becomes supportive to you”. 

You do not have to worry; that very moment, when you challenge the history, believing in you; you are the winner; you are liberated. 

Law of attraction attracts. Yes, attraction attracts. The universe attracts. The Nakshtra; the Stars attracts. Each and everything in the universe is deeply related to you. So, when in a deep conversation with you; when you whisper your desire to you, the entire universe listens this; and your desire is fulfilled. 

Law of attraction is true. But to attract; to pull the entire attraction towards you; you have to be powerful. You have to become powerful to attract the universe; you have to become powerful to compel the universe; you have to become powerful to compel the God; to fulfill your desire. 

This is not easy. Your wants has to be pure. You have to be pure. And, you can only be pure; when nothing is left outside; you can only be pure when you have accumulated, when you have absorbed in you everything’ good and bad’ beauty and ugly, negative and positive; everything, nothing is left outside.  

You have absorbed everything in you. It is not possible. It appears insane. Yes, it will appear insane to you; because you are not awakened; you are sleeping. It will appear insane to a larger part of the society; because your society is sleeping. If anything is perfect in this universe; that is this; which appears insane to you. 

To attract the Universe; to attract the law of attraction; you have to wake-up. 

Self-belief is a must; unless you believe in yourself. And to believe in you, you have to become powerful; strong. And to become powerful; strong; just meditate. Meditation opens all doors for you.  

When this realization comes to you that; who you are; that very moment you are awakened. This awakening, is realization of you. This awakening is the realization of your power. This awakening is self-belief. And this awakening comes after meditation. 

Nothing is needed; nobody is needed; no master, no Guru is needed. You are the master. And, you have to realize this that you are the master. 

When you become aware of you; you become the controller of you. And in that commanding situation; when you whisper to you, in a situation, where everything is silent; The Universe responses to you. Because you have disturbed the universe. 

That talking to you; that whispering to you, is the highest form of the meditation. Here you are talking; here you are whispering; but there is no words; there is no sound, only silence is there. And why this silence is needed when, you talk to you; because deep within you are silent. 

Your desire; your success; all your demands all will be fulfilled. Because here, you are in a conversation with the God. Here you are talking to the God. 

Here no words are needed. Because, here you are not talking; here your vibration is talking. And your vibration is pure; sacred. Because, you have become stronger; because now, you have realized the fact; that who you are. 

And, when you are attracting the Universe; when you are attracting The God; this Law of attraction works. Here, law of attraction responses. Your vibration, of your desire, your queries, your wishes, touches the Universe, and law of attraction starts responding to you. 

So, you have to talk to you.  Your answer is within you. You are the question; you are the answer. Your act of talking to you; is self-belief. And to become a winner; you have to believe in you. You are the question; you are the answer. 

After meditation; you realize that God resides in you. Hence, when you believe in you; and when you are talking to you; The God sits inside you; answers you.   

Law of attraction works. Believe in self-belief; have patience; become strong; talk to you; attract the universe; and, go win the race…

Once upon a time; Lord Shri, Krishna said-“Surrender to me; and I shall look after you”. 

And you surrendered yourself to Lord Shri, Krishna. Result, nothing happened; you again, surrendered yourself to Lord Shri, Krishna. And this is continuing in all religion; you keep surrendering; you keep asking for the divine intervention. 

Divine is telling you to “Surrender to me; and I shall look after you”. 

The basic problem with you is, the way you understand your problems; the way you understand your God; because of the conditional mindset of yours. You have been taught all the time, that supreme power is supreme; God will solve your all problems. 

And you go to your God; in your religious places, or you search your God in your religious books, and you start surrendering; praying to the unknown.

It is unknown; because, there is a question mark; who is God? Whether God exists or not? It is a mystery to you. And you, listening God’s dictate, surrender yourself to Him/her, you start praying; and nothing happens; and this continues. 

You are running in a wrong direction. And, without realizing this; you surrender yourself to the Lord. Without understanding; without knowing the Lord; you surrender yourself; with full devotion. 

You start praying; without realizing this fact; that your prayer is reaching nowhere. Obviously, your prayer is not answered. Your blame game starts. First, understand; realize the Truth. The Truth is within you.

Lord Shri, Krishna says; “surrender to me….” God is continuously asking you to “surrender to me". 

To you this “Me” is; “I”. Lord Shri, Krishna is asking you to surrender to "I"; to yourself; and further God is saying “I am there with you; surrender to me.” 

And the day you surrender yourself to you; you will meet God there; and, perhaps for the first time; you will meet you. 

Yes, you are the question; you are the answer; everything is there with you. And for the liberation, for freedom; you have to talk to you. Whether you simply whisper to you; or you talk to you in silence; this is the only way, to know all your answers. 

Talking to you is self-talk. This self-talk is very important. Understand this first; what is a self-talk? Self- talk is a great relief. Self-talk is the key to all your queries. 

Because, when you talk to self; it means, you are talking to the God. And when you are surrendering yourself to you; you are surrendering yourself to the God; who is sitting inside you. 

And when you are surrendering to God; definitely He/She will protect. And, that’s why Lord Shri, Krishna said- “Surrender to me; and I shall protect you”.

Here God is saying; “I”, shall protect you. This “I” is important. This “I” is the answer. This “I” is God. This “I” is you. 

Hence, self-talk is your answer. This self-talk is your first and your last hope. ’Hope’ is important; and unless you hope. 

Hope gives you; creates in you, a new desire; to live with. You go on hoping; and you get no result; because you are running in a wrong direction. 

You are searching your God somewhere else, at an unknown place; with a hope that you will meet God; and then your prayer will be answered. 

Instead of looking within; you keep on searching God at unknown places and you keep on hoping for the best; and you keep on meeting with broken dreams. 

Now the question arises; How to look within? Yes, you must know; How to look within? Here, how to look within, your answer is in meditation. 

From various, available, techniques of meditation, choose one, and start doing meditation. 

Meditation is a very powerful tool. Meditation helps you in recognizing yourself. And the moment you realize you; you realize who you are; that very moment you get the master key; that very moment you are liberated. 

That very moment onward; you understand the importance of the self-talk. Now you know, how to surrender yourself to you. 

And now you understand, what Lord Shri, Krishna is saying- “Surrender to me; and I shall look after you”…

Desire, Depression. Meditation, and You...

And a few days back one nomad was murmuring something, looking at the sky- “Oh Lord! if you are giving us this heart; do not give desire. Because, I am fed-up now; this heart keeps desiring; again and again”.

Nothing should be bigger than you. You are the master. Desire is natural. You must desire. If there is heart in you; desire is obvious. Your desire should not supersede you; else you will get fed-up, like that nomad; one day.

And, precisely this is what has been happening in your life. Result; see the mess around you. You are responsible for this mess. 

Another poet once said-“Lord had given us only one land; and we divided it into many countries”. 

And, you keep desiring; it never stops. Somewhere it has to stop. Your desire is not fulfilled; and you start accusing your God; or you luck; or you find fault in you. But the damage is done. The very fabric of enjoying life; is broken. 

This happened; you lost interest in your life. And this is a very dangerous situation; when you lose interest in your life. Depression surrounds you; nothing appeals to you. Passing wind has no value to you. Passing wind is continuously touching you; but, you are not interested. 

Depression surrounds you; you have become like a walking corpse. This happens; this has happened to you; and this will keep happening to you; because you are not awakened; you are sleeping. You are continuously sleeping. You are dreaming that you are living. 

Real life has never touched you. You have never felt the touch of the life. Life is continuously touching you; and nothing happens to you. You have become like a walking corpse.

You have to come out of it. You have to wake-up. Meditate. Meditation is important. Meditate and wake-up. 

Depression surrounds you you; because your desire is not fulfilled. Your desire keeps taking birth; one after another. Your desire is fulfilled; and another take birth. Its a never ending story; more and more and more. Somewhere it has to end. How? 

Do never stop; or try to stop this natural process of desiring again and again. It might sound absurd. It might sound contradictory. Do never stop; or try to stop your continuous process of desiring. Let this process, of desiring continuously, happen, you just watch this process like a witness. 

Become a witness, watch this process of continuous desiring. Whether your desire is getting fulfilled or not; you are not concerned with it; you are simply watching. Become a witness; and watch you. 

Stay like a rock; and become the witness of your life. Here you are observing; what is happening to you. And this observing; this witness  part comes to you, then you will realize that you are not the same. 

The day you become a witness and start witnessing your own life; that moment onward you become the master of your desire; you become the master of you. Now you are the ruler; now you are the master. 

And when the desire comes under your control; whether you are desiring continuous, or whether your desire is getting fulfilled or not; you are not affected. 

Now you are walking the lake without getting wet. 

This is enlightenment. This is meditation. Let the depression surround you; let the desire desiring continuously; just watch; stay a witness. Now you are the master of you...

Youth is powerful; do not waste it. Power helps you in controlling your power. You have to understand what youth power is. 

Yes, the word ‘Power’ attracts. And, unless you attract? 

A magnet has to be there with you. Success; Failure apart; you should attract.

If you are facing too much hardship; then, you have to help yourself. Because, nothing is working in your favor. You have been criticized; you have been ridiculed. Your own people either have deserted you; or knowingly or unknowingly, they have gone against you.

Indeed, here the situation becomes tough. And, in such a tough situation; stay thankful to the Almighty. Feel blessed; because a unique star is going to take birth. Stay blessed. Welcome your opponent.

One thing is very important here; you are watching the happening around you not helplessly; rather you are witnessing these happenings. Thus, becoming the witness power; comes through meditation.

Happenings around you; are not in your control. Your own body is not in your control. Either you watch these cosmic happenings staying helpless; or become a witness and watch these happenings.

Meditation is the only technique, through which you can acquire this power. Among the various techniques of meditation; choose one, and start practicing meditation. 

You have to become the Master. You have to become the controller of your destiny; then only, against all odds, in your life, yet, you can become victorious…

God, Meditation; and Fear in You...

"Yes, Fear is the key. Welcome fear; if it is coming to you out of any reason inside you; and stay thankful to the cause which has generated fear in you. When in fear stay scared. Look at your scared situation; If fear is an obstacle on the way of your success; then take the fear along with you; talk to your fear; hey fear, why are you always so scary; silly". 

And the God came. Nothing is working in your life; you are helpless; lost all hopes. Did everything; you repeated doing everything; now no way is left; nothing has left, which you will do to settle yourself in your life, and to be happy. But none of your effort; prayer yielded any results; so far in your life. God comes; you have lost faith. 

God keeps coming. God keeps smiling. Your result, the situation is the same; total disaster. God keeps smiling. What to do? First forget God; then accept God. Do nothing; keep sailing; keep floating. No effort; no risk; just keep floating; staying alert; awakened. 

Fear has to come; it is natural, nothing to worry about. If fear does not come; then something to worry about; some serious problem is there within. Fear comes. It is natural. Welcome you fear. It is simply an energy; which is scary.

Sometimes fear takes you close to the God. You meet God for the first time. Yes; this way; fear is the key. Through fear you could understand; who you are? This realization, who you are, came to you through fear. Fear can bring many positive results to you. You have to be awakened. And for that; start practicing meditation. Among many techniques of meditation; chose one for you; and, simply meditate. 

Techniques of meditation might differ; but the result is same; all roads end at the same place. If you are not awakened; if you are not alert; then your fear might destroy you. If your fear starts ruling you then you are destroyed. But if you are alert; if you are awakened; then you can use your fear for your benefit.

You have to rule you. You have to become your own master. Your mind has to be in your control. You have to become powerful.  You can control the universe. An awakening is needed. And it is simple; how to be awakened. Just Meditate. 

Meditation is looking within. And the day you look within; your all answer is there. Life is beautiful. Life is a mystery. 

How to become successful and happy; this answer is within you. Why it is within you? And if it is within you; then why there is so much unrest; worries; miseries around? Then why, panic attacks are there? This is because you are sailing in a wrong direction. 

This is because; you do not look within. You never look within; because it never strike you. And for the few people who came to know that the answer is within, for them, they do not believe in it. Because; the answer that everything is within, this answer is so simple. And for them, people who have come to know that the answer is within, simplicity they do not believe in. 

Things which are more complicated; difficult, unanswerable; those situations they enjoy. And, almost every person has become like this. And, precisely this is the reason of so much misery; unrest in your life. 

Life is beautiful; simple. And to get something different from it; you have made your life complicated. Literary; you have destroyed the beauty; of your life. Thus the reason, why fear is dangerous. This is the reason, why out of fear you hesitate, or you do not take any important decision of your life; at the right time. And that is why it is said; decisions taken at the right time, right decision makes your life. 

You have failed to recognize this. Because you are not awakened; you are sleeping. You think that you are awakening. You think you are walking; you are eating; you are maintaining your family. You think that you are doing all mundane things successfully; and it proves that you are awakened; it proves; that you are not sleeping.

Remember here; you think that you are awakened; this thinking is the problem. You think; that you are eating your food; and this thinking is the problem. Do not think; just eat. It is simple; just eat, do not think that you are eating. 

Stay there; wherever you are. Do not start roaming in your future. The future never comes. There is no future. Can you eat; can you perform your mundane duty in your future? And the answer is simple; you cannot. This thinking is the problem. This thinking takes you to some unknown place.

Your mind keeps reminding you that you are on the right track. Result every false, dead things starts appearing real to you. Your mind is dangerous. The mind is very powerful. Your mind becomes dangerous; because you are making your mind dangerous. You are being ruled by your mind. Your mind starts ruling your mind.

You start ruling your mind' and see the difference. This ruling your mind is not easy. And this is the reason why you are scared amid fear. Fear is just energy; it is up to you how you are taking it.

And to use the power of your fear in a positive way, right direction; start controlling your mind. And to become the ruler; and to control your mind you have to realize your power; which is flowing within you. 

For that you have to look within. You have to accept simplicity. Because, like life; the art of looking within is very simple. To look within; just meditate. 

And when you look within; you will find God there; smiling. And, even if you are amid fear; you will get the answer; why God is always smiling…
