WONDER

One who is not amazed by the magnificence of this creation- his eyes are not yet opened. Once your eyes are open, they close, and this is called Meditation.

Tell me, what in this creation is not a mystery? Birth is a mystery; death is a mystery. If both birth and death are mysteries, then life is certainly a greater mystery, isn't it?

Being completely immersed in the mystery of life and in this creation is Samadhi. Your knowing or believing does not really matter to what is. This creation is an unfathomable secret and its mysteries only deepen.

Getting steeped in mystery is DEVOTION. The 'Scene' is a mystery; the 'Seer' is a mystery. Deepening the mystery of creation is science. There are the two sides of the same coin.

If neither science nor spirituality can create wonder and devotion in you, then you are in deep slumber.

TRUTH

Why would someone tell a lie to their dear ones or to their beloved?

This is a question often asked by lovers. Love cannot stand untruth; it causes relationship to fall apart. The answer lies in understanding the paradox of love and truth. People tell lies just to save and maintain their love. Lies are the result of fear that the truth might damage the love between husband and wife. boy friend and Girlfriend, Parents and children.

In love you feel weak but truth brings strength. So why do people prefer love over truth, weakness over Strength?

No one wants to sacrifice love. Thus people are ready to give up the truth for their love. Love takes the luster out of truth. Sometimes truth can make over bitter; while in love, even lies can appear sweet, like KRISHNA lies to her mother, Yashoda.

The truth that does not nourish love make no sense and the love that cannot withstand the truth is not true love. When you are assured that your love is so strong that the truth can neither brake it nor cause bitterness, then the truth prevails and love shines.

With truth there are judgments, but true love is beyond judgment. Thus true love makes you weak and yet it is the greatest strength.

UNDERSTAND YOUR MIND

Understand your Mind, when i said understand

your mind means If you look at your mind You can clearly see, there are some habits in your mind which makes you UNHAPPY, which does

not allow you to connect and there are some habits which beautify your life.

In Sanskrit language, in our scriptures there is a beautiful description of these habits, they are called "Klist Vratti" & "Aklist Vratti". Klist is harmful habits and Aklist is harmless habits.

What i am saying is, If being a SEEKER, we could identify these habits in our own mind & if you could learn to keep releasing the harmful once & keep enhancing the beneficial once. The same life, same journey or whatever you want to say this, the same journey can be accelerated so fast.

What i am requesting you to do is to do not take it too lightly, it is a very beautiful process of the evolution. Give it the importance that it deserve in your life. You know some people are just simply casual about things. Always remember 'SELF EXPLORATION', I call it 'Swadhyay', will require few Qualifications:

1. One of the biggest qualification on this path of self exploration is Your Level of Intensity. If you are intense about it, you will find instant result, quick results. Accelerating Process. If you are casual about it, divine says 'TATHASTU' to that too. and please I request you Do not take them casually. So Your level of Intensity or Commitment will determine how quickly you progress.

2. Second is, Your level of Intelligence. when i am saying intelligence, what i mean is identifying your klist, the harmful habits & Aklist, not harmful habits. Identifying them is the intelligence, is what i am talking about.

3. And the Third thing will help you in this path, is your CONNECTION WITH DIVINE. If you are connected 24 X 7, the progress is 24 X 7. and when i am saying connected what i actually mean is, feeling the presence of divine. See right now i feel that field of Energy that is engulfing the whole room. Can you feel it, if yes, then you are Connected with Divine. if you are connected than downloading is faster (laughter).

All these three aspect the intelligence, commitment & Connection with the divine will help you in Self Exploration and help you in understanding your mind.

LOVE

"When Love glows, It is bliss.

When it flows, it is compassion.

When it blows, it is anger.

When it ferments, it is jealousy.

When it is all "no's", it is hatred.

When it acts, it is perfection.

WHEN LOVE KNOWS, IT IS ME."

"Let the love be. Do not give it a name. when you give love a name it becomes a relationship, and relationship restrict love."

Why does a person love someone? Is it because of their qualities or because of a sense of kinship or intimacy?

If you love someone because of their qualities than love gives rise to competition & Jealousy and when the quality change, your love also change. However, if you love someone out of kinship, because they belong to you, then that remains for lifetime.

People say, "I love God because he is great." What if God is found to be ordinary, just one of us? Then your love and God would collapse. If you love God because He is yours, then however God is, whether He creates or destroys, you will still Love Him.

What are the Signs of love?

When you love someone you see nothing wrong with them. Even if you see a fault in them you justify it in some way- "Everyone does that; it is normal." You think you have not done enough for them. They are always in your mind. Ordinary things become extraordinary. Just like A baby winking at its grandmother becomes an extraordinary event. When you love someone, you want to see them always happy and you want them to have the best.

Must love always change?

Love is your nature. What is your nature cannot change, But the expression of love changes. i.e. A mother has total love for her child. Sometimes she feeds the child; sometimes she is strict with the child. She does this out of love and these are all different modes of love. So the expression of love changes. But love itself does not change, because Love is your nature.

How can one get a Genuine love?

The ability to receive genuine love comes, with the ability to give Love. The more you are centered and know by experience that you are love, the more you feel at home with any amount of love being expressed in any manner, for deep inside, you know love is not an emotion, it is your existence.

You Feel love for someone and they do not accept it, at that time many negative emotion arises. What is the way to out of this? How do one can maintain his lovingness?

• Have patience and change your expression of love.
• Be centered and limit your expression of Love. Sometimes expressing too much love puts people off.
• Take it for granted that they love you too and just accept their style of expression.
• Genuinely acknowledge whatever love they have for you. This will turn your demand into gratefullness and the more grateful you are in life, the more love comes your way.
• Know that hurt is part of love and take responsibility for it. When you move away from your center, you will get hurt and the nature of worldliness is misery.

CELEBRATING SILENCE

What is Faith?

"Faith is knowing that you will get what you want: Faith is knowing that what you need will be given to you, and that whatever you have, will grow and continue to be with you. That is real Faith"

Faith is not sitting and saying, "Oh! What will happen to me tomorrow or after 10 Years? When I become old, who will take care of me?"

You are stupid! You don't know yourself! When you are on the spiritual path, it is absurd to think, "who will take care of me? etc". Once you have taken one step on this path, more you can ever digest, will come t you! you will be flooded with food that you cannot eat! you will have so many place to go to, and people will hanker for you to come and stay!

Just look at the religious people, who have given up everything- the so called Sadhu, fathers, nuns & monks. How do they live? Do they work?

They travel in nice cars, and have huge mansions to live in. Don't they? Get that fear psychosis out of your mind! Until you do so, you can never be on the path!

Krishna talks about promises in the Bhagawad Gita; "One, who does not worry about anything else, but who just puts his or her mind in me, totally: one, who is so totally united with me, everyday- I WILL TAKE CARE OF THEIR yogakshema*."

Krishna Says, "It is my responsibility. I will take care. I will make sure that you do not suffer. But, you drop your anxiety." This is essential to faith. It is the basis of faith.

Spirit of Enquiry

*Yogakshema: The two thing that really keep you from growing into more perfection are- wanting to possess or get, what you don't have, and trying to maintain, or hold on to what you already have. These two things are called "yogakshema". They are the main cause of anxiety, worry, tension and fear in your life.
