Engagement Robs...
Tumblr media
Engagement is an outward activity. It has nothing to do with oneself. Our spirit has no engagement with the external world. It can only be engaged with spiritual activities. But, as man finds it haunting to be alone, he engages with people to overcome this fear. He compromises with the happiness of the soul, thereby making the soul feel alone. In sometime in life, man realizes that his engagement with people has not borne good fruits.
It has even made him disengage with his soul. He becomes alone even when alone as he has abandoned his spirit long time back. This is the sad story of the man who dedicates his life to the world, just to ruin it. Engagement of this sort brings immense sorrow. Momentary happiness is not what we seek. We are seeking everlasting happiness. But, genuinely before we even go out to inquire the whereabouts of happiness, we tend to go astray.
We engage with momentary happiness as soon as we find it! We have no patience. Precisely, outward engagement deprives you of your soul. In other words, it deprives you of your companion, the companion who is with you when you are alone. Being with people is impermanent as they themselves are perishable.
Therefore, such an association can never give us what we want. In turn it shall drain you completely, taking away from you whatever you had. It shall rob your momentary happiness and present you sadness. But, even before that, it has robbed your soul. This engagement shall lead you to sadness only!

Sanatan Dharma
Tumblr media
True religion is Sanatan Dharma. This has existed from the time existence existed. So, following this religion will reveal the ultimate reality. But, when the reality and specifically ultimate reality is revealed through Sanatan Dharma, it is evident that it cannot be bound to the term religion. Today, religion has a very constricted meaning and reach in an individual's life. It is not capable of revealing the nature of life.
It has created barriers between people today. In other words, religion as a term has created division among people.
Sanatan Dharma, as opposed to religion propagates no religion. It is just the revelation of life, its experience and its occurrence. So, following this ultimate Dharma, will get us to conclude that there is no religion. In fact, religion is not religion today! Only by following true religion ( Sanatan Dharma) will let us know religion. Once, we know a spec of it we know that the 'religion- based talk of the world' speaks nothing about religion.
Only Santan Dharma is true religion as it teaches us to live without today's so-called religion. Sanatan Dharma reveals the truth about human nature. Revealing the human nature is the greatest service to humanity because this lead man to discover, invent, study and learn fascinating creations of the creator. But, along with that, the same human nature got us to accept and create today's religion and other problems which are threats to society.
It is our very human nature which has created problems for us. So, studying this human nature is true study! The Sanatan Dharma is the road map to such an endeavour.

In the end: We are alone.
Tumblr media
Supporting or standing for the other is possible, but not in times of need. When you need nobody is there, but when you want none all are there! This is life. Until we don't realize this fact of life, we know NO LIFE. People say, life is beautiful. If they are saying this just because they have people, wealth and fame they are immature to even think about life. True life is to study life. To study life fully brings us its shortcomings and then the intelligent take safety measures. This safety system is Sadhana.
However, sadhana has more to offer, not many have even realized this basic fact. People have not understood the temporary nature of life itself, because of which they seek permanent relationships. If life itself is impermanent then how can we expect relationships (which form a very small part of life) to be permanent.
This is the first very drawback of life, that relationships are impermanent! Isn't it.
We like people not genuinely as we expect them in times of need. And people do not like us genuinely as they hear no call when they are needed, when we are in need...

Smiling when you don't want to
Tumblr media
Smiling when we don't feel like is a disease. This disease deals with the mental framework of our mind. In other words, anything that doesn't fit under the spiritual laws is a disease. Smiling when we don't feel like is a disease because it is governed by the mind. We often smile to keep the other happy or rather to keep ourselves happy. Even if there is momentary displeasure while exhibiting that smile on our face, we simply do it because that might fetch us a ground to seek happiness.
This implies for all those who smile even while feeling uncomfortable. Just simply ask yourself: "Why am I smiling when I don't mean it or like to do???" The answer is hard to hear but it is the truth. We have selfish motives that compel smile, against our will.
So, the first step to undo all the things that you did not like is to stop doing them again. We cannot alter our past but surely build good new ones. Consciously working towards our faulty mind, through sadhana can abate the outcomes of our past actions. We cannot eliminate it or stop it from manifesting but can make it lifelessly appear only through sadhana.
Next time you do not feel like smiling do not smile. This will be an act of truthfulness. You are being true to Yourself and Your Inner Feelings. You are not abiding to what your selfish mind dictates rather you choose to follow your heart, the truth.

For Our Mind and Soul
Tumblr media
The food for our soul is indeed prayer. The characteristic of the soul is Sattvik or 'pure' in nature. This being the predominant quality, qualifies our soul as calm, stable and the source of happiness and peace. It is devoid of any craving or obsession as it is content. However, to experience this bliss within us, we are gifted with Prayer. It is a tool that directly brings one in contact with the nature of the soul.
But many of us find it difficult to pray! Our Mind doesn't let us concentrate! So, we have to hold onto a step-by-step manual to monitor the mind. Mind chatters and brings in a surge of thoughts throughout the day. Hence, it is Rajasik. Some minds are ignorantly stationary, overcome by laziness, these are Tamasik in nature. But, the way to cope with both these categories of minds is WORK.
If you are highly active (Rajasik), work is necessary as ground to develop a feeling of detachment. Here, detachment refers to the teachings of the Bhagvad Gita, work and pour your 100% but expect 0%. Surrender all the expectations unto God and He shall see them.
If your are lazy (Tamasik), work again is a good opportunity for you. Work with an intention of being committed. Commitment is truth. So, not following to what you commit is untruth or Adharma. Being truthful should be your goal. This is the point from where you start training your mind to break open the shell it created. You attempt to train your mind to forcefully complete you schedule, in order to meet up with your commitment.
Following such practices with utter sincerity and no compromises is mandatory. Such efforts shall then gradually lead you to the highest truth.

You are Happiness.
Tumblr media
Happiness does not lie beyond yourself. You are the embodiment of happiness as the source lies deep within ourselves. This is the ParamAtma. No object, person or event is capable of giving you happiness. This might not seem to be true, but you think for yourself. When we are sad internally, then the object we loved, or the person we admired no more seem to be pleasurable.
They do not give us any kind of happiness. If we are happy, only then the outside world is happy. This is because, it is our happiness that reflects on the world outside. So, the objects, people, events do not give us happiness of any sort. They are just objects on which our happiness is reflected.
Due to our limited understanding we often mistake the object and not self as the source of Happiness.  We are happiness because of which the outside world seems happy.
But the world has no potency to become joyful or sorrowful and hence cannot be the cause of joy or sorrow to any living being.

Most Precious Secret Revealed!
Tumblr media
Believing in oneself is stupidity. It does no assure you a permanent solution as believing is a fluctuating phenomena. We believe in something because we were taught to, but with age and experience we disbelieve those things! Do not try to believe. You are being unnatural in that sense. You are accepting (believing) something blindly just because you were asked to. "Perhaps,it would resolve my problems". If this is your intention, you are highly mistaken. Because, the medicine that works for him might not necessarily, or never work for you.
Believing is just an escape mechanism. If you are convince not to believe, then what will you do? The answer is: "Just Be". Be yourself and know yourself. Go deeper within yourself, for nobody else ca do that for you!
Find out the root cause of your misery. Be sincere in answering every question you encounter while undergoing introspection. Just Be. Then this will make you confident, not superficially as you have understood the working of your brain, persistently through Sadhana.
Next, de-credit yourself from what you thought was yours, it may be your feelings, people or opinions. After Being you must leave that too to the Supreme Lord. When you leave yourself, your identity, there will be no worries as they were associated to that identity! Now, God will be in charge.
The key points to such a realization are:
Do not believe.
Just Be yourself. Know Yourself, which is only possible through Sadhana.
Continue Sadhana with utmost dedication and sincerity
Surrender to God. Surrender every thought, feeling, emotion associated to your mortal identity to God, which definitely has loads of worries, to God.
If you have truly surrendered you will never experience  worries as worries. They will just be experiences for you to see God function in your life!
This state is only when you have truly practiced Sadhana and surrendered completely

Which is the true Voice???
Tumblr media
We have been told to listen to our inner voice in time of crisis! But which voice do we listen to?
Most of us face a problem to identify the true inner voice. In fact, in our inner spectrum there are more voices than what we hear in the physical plane. These voices are the voices of our emotions,feelings, mind, soul, heart, brain,etc. So many, isn't it?
How do we really know which is the genuine voice, the voice of our soul?
We must know that our mind chatters throughout, day in and day out. If you have been practicing Sadhana, you would be aware of the mind's voice, which generally compels man with the feeling of guilt, anger, happiness (temporary), excitement.
The voice which dictates us to engage in an activity for momentary pleasure is the voice of our mind. It will ask us to do activities that satisfy the body (senses). These might seem to be the voice of our emotions at times,but there is no such voice! Everything we hear that directs us to the world of activities and outcomes is the voice of the mind. Listen to the voice that comes from deep, from the core of our hearts. It is a soft, but strong voice.
Only our attention to THAT VOICE, is the right action. That voice is the true voice as it lays down the appropriate reasons for performing a particular act. That is the voice, full of detachment. It is not attached to the pleasure (or momentary happiness) that life gives. So, it is the voice that is above this transient phenomenon of happiness and sorrow.
It opens the doorways to everlasting Peace and Happiness. It gives us the clarity of  situations and thus bringing forth the right act, we need to do in order to overcome our concerning issues. Naturally, this is the voice of the soul and the ultimate reality.

VIPs
Tumblr media
What are we after all? Do you know? Answer this question with complete transparency.
We are two legged animals, with a developed brain, made up of flesh, bones and blood.
Why do we go about boasting our capacities? We must know that we have a temporary living on Earth and we are no special entities. We are not immortals. We are like any other creation of the creator, God.
We can never make a difference to the world as the one who thought  thus no longer exist. Many think thus, but do you see them! No, the world functioned absolutely well before them, while they existed and even after they are gone!
God, is the creator. Can we breathe without air, sun and water. No. What are these forms? These are integral part of all life forms. These make a difference to all of us. This is nature, another form of God. We have a very shortsighted vision as we feel that we can make a difference to the world, we are important...
But, this is not true at all. Without that Supreme Energy, God, nothing is possible.

Stress Management.
Tumblr media
When we first joined the art class it was pretty hard to make an apple! Yes, why do we forget about this. Due to our high degree of forgetfulness, we have taken up to become stressed. We forget that we were incapable of even drawing an apple, but as time passed we LEARNT to draw. Then gradually we became good sculptors. But, just ask yourself, "What do we sculpt?" If you are sincere, your answer is certainly this.
"We sculpt the already existing things and people around us." So, we do not create but imitate. When we become aware of this fact at every stage of life, we release the stress of becoming something. Because, we will then know that what we think has already been created by the creator. We cannot become anything new, because it has all existed. To release stress and if you are truly concerned about yourself, you must bring the smallest of smallest things to your notice. Whenever you are overcome with this emotion of self importance, ask yourself, "Can I create an Apple, its fragrance, its sweetness?" The answer is certainly No. Realize this fact.
Audit your thoughts, emotions and feelings carefully to see whether the particular emotion is related to your ego. "Are they your extension of Ego, supremacy or crediting you for being special?" If so, you are indeed stressed in a subtle manner or you are aware of your stress. So, to get rid of this recurring stress, we must adopt the practice of becoming aware of them which reduces the intensity of that particular thought.
Thereby, releasing a lot of stress and raising your energy levels. Worries can be releases easily by committing yourself to a strict spiritual discipline (sadhana) . However, Sadhana is not limited to just this, it has a larger working field.

Describing Yourself
Tumblr media
We have got spectacular words to describe events and things around us. We emphasize our experience by using descriptive words along with strong emotions. But, it is nearly impossible to describe oneself, wholly. Even if we know ourselves in a so-called, full manner, we choose not to describe. It might either be like flattery or rather annoying. So, the truth is that our personality being so complex, compels us to doubt ourselves.
Our behaviors and traits are not from this birth, but it is an expression of our many past lifetimes. So, we do not know ourselves that well, so how can we probably describe "You". "You" is somebody apart from us. That other entity to has a whole load of identities, behaviors, traits, habit, emotions and ideas.
So, adjectives which are created by us humans with this very mind cannot effectively describe us, we who have created them. Just like a doctor does not write his own prescription! He consults his other fellow mates for a perfect treatment.

Dreams and Fears
Tumblr media
"I dream of being fearless, but just then, a fear strikes me and I turn horrified!". So, just thin, if this is the state of a human being, we can estimate his involvement with his mind and thought. n reality and even practically we know that we dreamt in a zone which perhaps does not show up in this world. We fear the results of activities in this world. But, in fact all this happens just at the mind platform and not in this perceptible world.
All we imagine, dreams and fears are just the outcome of enough churning of the thoughts generated by the mind which inturn is fueled by our involvement. So, when we detach ourselves from our own thoughts, fears and dreams and surrender it to God, we owe no more to them. Those are not ours then. God is in charge.
By realizing and practicing that Dreams and Fears are not real but are just generations of our primitive, animalistic  mind, through sadhana we can, by ourselves disconnect them from our lives. So now, "I no longer dream and so fear not about any fear. Life itself is like a beautiful,unimaginable dream." Everything is under the supervision of God and thus we are let free from dreaming and all fears.

Education Vs Literacy
Tumblr media
Well, in high school we haven't heard of Education Vs Literacy, just because we were taught them to be synonyms for one another. However, there is a subtle, yet important factor that sets them different. We have achieved a lot from School and College. We knew friendship along with Career and then finally our jobs. However, these learning centres only equipped us to come back to this world. This is the world of competition and struggle.
They taught us to become one like them and not different. Thus, this process is termed as literacy. They taught us the very first alphabets to be able to communicate effectively in this competitive world. To be influential they enhanced our vocabulary, knowledge and altering our stance to the most updated teaching, helping us to be with time and not out-dated. But,this is just literacy.
There is another term, quite deeper in its meaning, which many of us have not thought deeply about. This is education. Education deals with the way we respond to literacy. It is the super intelligence that allows us to accept some teachings and discard the unwanted. It is the conscience that teaches us to adopt a mechanism to use our literacy in an authentic manner.
According to literacy, passing the examination with flying colors means that you have been successful in grasping knowledge. But education, works at a deeper level. It unconsciously works within a man to apply his intelligence where needed. But, there are loop holes in the teaching of literacy as even cheating can yield good results.
However, education states that this is not true understanding of the subject as marks is not the basis of your understanding of the subject. It is the understanding itself which is the basis of your understanding. It is the way you apply the brain, that is important and marks is just a successful product. So, education, says that it is your understanding alone that can determine your marks and not the other way round. And this understanding is education.
Education is a set of values.
For Example: When you go to school, your duty is to apply your brain in studies and grow productively. This is education, where one consciously works towards literacy and hold onto the values that support an enriched life. Literacy alone can make you tread the wrong path. But in the assistance of education, which teaches one to discriminate between fair and unfair means can never lead you to the wrong path.
Literacy applied with Education is the total empowerment of our deeds/ work. The consciousness should always be there. This is a one line definition of education.

Is he a genius?
Tumblr media
When we hear the world talk about a genius, there are erratic tales appended to him. "Perhaps, this is what makes him different from us." is the view of the world. But, this is madness. Because there are abnormalities exhibited. Just by being different from others by adopting mad ways gets you labelled as genius. However, that genius knows that he is making others mad. While the one who knows that the latter is fooling him and the others, knows that the genius is indeed mad.
The idea is to tell you that, just by becoming different from others does not necessarily make you genius, it can also be madness. So, don't try to be a different person. Just be yourself. Don't try to make your identity in this world. Because, this world has a very poor memory. So, you are wasting time, if you try to become a so-called genius.
This process of becoming a genius wholly depends on the world to credit you as a genius. Eventually, the world itself will label you as a mad man. A genius of today is the mad of tomorrow. As everything discovered today is the end of today and the start of tomorrow. So, remember the so-called genius only creates a memorable present, but short lived along with it he creates a dark futuristic name for himself.
He is labelled as mad by the future.

True intelligence is not from...
Tumblr media
Intelligence is not a mundane attribute but it deals with the space of consciousness. A very simple way to understand the degree of intelligence is this- The more you are connected with the super conscious, or spirit, you are connected to true intelligence. In other words, mundane activities and their results, success and failure cannot be the products of intelligence. So, we must understand that intelligence does not sprout from the brain but from the conscience which is the soul of the brain and many other vital functions.
Intelligence is what makes us. It is consciousness that is intelligence! So, without intelligence present as consciousness, no activity or even thought can be carried out. However, in our daily lives, we may/ may not be conscious of the consciousness within us. So, we mistake the brain and not its source as the benefactor of intelligence.
However, when man knows that it is not the success of materialism that is intelligence, he then becomes truly intelligent. He knows that the calculations of the brain be it in the intellectual or emotional platform is always misleading, it being governed by the mind. So, he engages with the soul and deserts the so-called material definitions of intelligence.

Respect and Power
Tumblr media
Respecting has today become a means to become powerful. We respect the powerful to become one. Isn't it not? So, why does our mind consciously or unconsciously function this way? Well if it is conscious, it simply means you are a cunning opportunist. But, if it is not a conscious act, let's look at it deeper. Our mind is a creation of matter. So, naturally it will drive us to believe that- the external world is the reality. However, it is not. We become weak when we do not have the reigns in our hands.
We feel weak when we are compelled to abide by what the other instructs. So, why not apply this fact in this case. We are indeed weak when we respect the powerful, because this is what our mind instructs us to do.
We can become powerful when we overcome our limitations. The truly powerful being is the one who has found out his own way. Through experiences we must learn that, the world serves the powerful to become one. They listen to their mind. So, are they not weak? We know they are weak simply by analyzing their approach towards becoming powerful. They become weak by selling themselves to the powerful. How can such people ever become powerful?
They are overpowered by their desire to become powerful but they end up being weak to the powerful. Doing the other way round is indeed powerful. It will make you one. This is guaranteed as the mind will never permit you to go against it. I you go against it, you are indeed powerful as you go against the powerful mind.
Respecting the weak will make you very powerful. This will be the first unique act of your life! This is freedom and hence true respect as only freedom is respected and not the enslaved.
