Time, Space & Mind

This one is really interesting: we have gone through different situation of life there are some moments which just take over us whether pleasant or unpleasant and then we loose our balance and roll down starts :) And then at some other time and space same events/similar events looses their importance and seams insignificant and do not touch us why is that...! it's a wonder ahoo...!!! :) At some time at some place same event become so big and take over us and at some other place and time it is just doesn't matter to us what a phenomenon what a wonder...! :) For instance for a kid playing with a toy, his toy is everything to him like if the toy is broken life is broke but as the same kid grow up that toy looses its relevance (TOY IS THE SAME). How does it work..... what is mechanism... here is what I think...........

Its simple that when we are too attached and focused of something (object, event or people) then the consciousness is focused and sharp on the subject so much that it looses the contact with rest infinite (whatever you call it Divine, Bhraman, God consciousness or Big Mind). Then, things take over the mind for example when some teens are in love and if they have a heart break the mind is so much focused on that person that it can't see anything else & that personality take over the mind (personality became bigger than mind). That time mind is not aware of the whole universe and insignificant existence of its own and the person who gave the heart break ... :) Now as soon as mind realizes that this body as well as that body & this relationship is going to vanish in another 40-50 years what happens.... its much more easier to detach mind from that person similarly we can be dispassionate to any object, events and people. Actually becoming aware of the whole creation relaxes the mind expand the mind and in the process mind become bigger than object, events and people and nothing take over Mind. Rather in relaxed and expanded state mind can take over anything :)

Now its a trendous knowledge that whenever something take over you and bog you down its simply means mind is not expanded and things has grown bigger than mind thats why mind is troubled. So to get out of it simply YOU NEED TO EXPAND YOUR MIND.

Now question is how to expand our mind...? And While writing the above paragraph I realised this is a trick to expand the mind... As long as you stay aware of the whole creation mind automatically relax and expands isnt it...? And THAT IS MEDITATION. So just stay atunned with the infinite Bhraman and mind will be ever expanded and objects, events and people will not be able to bog you down as they all stay smaller. Thats the reason I think a devotee never get bug down by anything because devotee's mind is always stay in aware of infinite divine so his own mind stay in infinite expandes state and nothing can grow beyond his mind to bug his mind down.... ahoooooooo..... wah... what a beauty what a wonder how simple it is............. :) This is amazing isnt it...? :)

Now its very simple any situation you looses your temper your center simple sit and meditate let your mind expand and as soon as mind is expanded things will become smaller... :) And If you want to grow you mind so big that nothing take over you than expand your mind infinitely that it desolve in that infinitely we call Bhraman or big mind :) keep meditating keep expanding your mind till it dissolve and merge into infinity :)

All glory to my beloved gurudev :)

Politics: What & how

India's problems are complex. And unfortunately these are compounded by vote-bank politics. Instead of uniting the different sections of society, many politicians divide it to keep their vote banks intact. If people are united, politicians won't be able to get votes through divisive politics. In such a situation, the only way for them to win votes would be through good performance.

As citizens, we must protect our country from those who manipulate issues for their personal gains and who lead by playing vote-bank politics. Those with vested interests support insensible decisions and oppose sensible ones. We have to steer clear of such leaders. We must encourage broad-minded politicians and leaders to come forward and take charge, and to educate and uplift the society - spiritually, morally and socially.

We need leaders who are satya-darshi (truthful), sam-darshi (equanimous), priya-darshi (pleasant), paar-darshi (transparent) and door-darshi (visionary). So, before we elect our leaders, we should examine their qualifications.

We must elect leaders who will do away with policies based on caste, creed, religion and region; who will ensure that every child gets a multi-cultural, multi-dimensional education.

We need leadership with a mission and a vision, leadership with a spirit of sacrifice, compassion and commitment. We must choose leaders who have a long-term vision and short-term plans to achieve it. They should have great personal integrity, and place the country before themselves.

Unfortunately, most of our politicians lack a sense of sacrifice and inclusiveness. Irrespective of the party they belong to, people perceive politicians as insincere. Today, people are fed up of them. This is when apathy sets in among people. They dismiss politics as a whole and withdraw from their basic duty of voting.

Our votes are an important tool to bring about a change in the system; they give us an opportunity to raise our voice against injustice. But many of us have developed a chalta hai attitude, because we fail to see the power of our votes. This attitude is dangerous for the country. By not voting we are encouraging the status quo.

Each one of us must not only vote but also encourage others around us to vote. When good, intelligent and well-educated people don't vote, they play into the hands of politicians, who use money and vote bank politics to seize power. People should not lose hope. Good politicians exist. And they must be given a chance to do the best they can for the country, for its people.

We have seen the shortcomings of capitalism, communism and socialism. Now is the time for humanism and spiritualism. Politics without humanism and spiritualism is bound to be dirty. Many people believe that spiritualism is not for this world, that it is not a practical tool to bring about societal transformation. But that's a misconception. Mahatma Gandhi was spiritual. He conducted satsangs every day and played an important role in bringing freedom for our country.

That is why today we need leaders who have a spirit of sacrifice, and who are spiritual in their outlook, to enter politics.

Guru Story

Dear all

You must have heard so many miraculous experiences of others and you must also have had so many like that which we them GURU STORIES. Listening these stories or having such experiences always consolidate our faith and help us to understand the knowledge more clearly. Since these are live experiences they always have more impact on our consciousness also.

I remember in Narada Bhakti Sutra also Gurudev explain in one of sutra:

"Bhakta ekantino mukhyah, kanthavarodha romancha shrubhih parasparam lapamanah pavayanti kulani prithvim cha"

Means: devotees has such one-pointedness that when they get together and talk. They speak about Divine, their throats choke, their hair stands up, tears roll down their eyes and they uplift each other and they purify not just their family, not just their relatives, but the whole world. That is divine love.

That is the power of talking about divine. So lets open your heart and go back in your life and explore those moments which you always remember and remembering those moment takes to trance and connect to divine, our master. Share those Sweet guru stories. I am working on a blog where I want to put all these sweet guru stories with the wisdom which imprinted in us.

Here is such one of my guru story:

It was January 2006 before silver Jubilee celebration. Everybody in ashram was getting ready for big celebration for 25 years of service, wisdom, love and a dream of one world family which was coming true every moment. In one of the breezy evening of Bangalore we had one huge satsang in Ashram as Gurudev was there. Since that was a breezy day and it started drizzling also so satsang was planed in Vishalakshi Mantap which made me more anxious to be in front row. Many people from city of bangalore and many other countries were already flooded the ashram. And Since I had some unpleasent experience of not having HIS darshan, I wanted to be in front row in the satsang. So I was pushing one of fellow teacher Rajesh to hurry up and be on time for the satsang. But as everything was already planned by Divine (and always planned in Divine realm) we got late and could get entry only through the back gate of VM as all the other three gates were JAM PACKED. And since my mind was pre-anxious and cooked up from the previous experiences of not having Darshan. I was really angry on Rajesh.


With the grudging mind I and other friends entered from the back gate of VM and pushing myself some how to have a sight on HIM. and I was showing my all anger on my fellow friends that I was telling you guys to hurry up but you guys didn't. and here again we are late. I was not listening to anything what HE was saying while answering some the question. And when I was totally out of my mind in anger and frustration of not seeing HIM; very moment HE got up from HIS seat and walked on the stage toward our direction and straight looking at me HE spoke "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW"


Now you guys know what happened next, for a couple of moment I was stunned and experiencing what has happened and then suddenly tears just started rolling from my eyes for next 15 mins, perhaps I was in some other world soaked in pure love and bliss of that experience. Then I came back in senses and first thing I spoke to Rajesh how intelligent HE is. Then Rajesh with his mischievous smile replied back HE is not intelligent HE is intelligence..... And again I was in some blissful state where I was experience goose bumps at the body level at the same time wondering at mind level That how does HE DO THAT!!! Its a wonder... But that moment gave me realization whether I can see HIM or not BUT HE IS SEEING ME ALWAYS... what an experience for a life-time that I am never alone.....

Jai Gurudev!!!!


I hope you guys must have enjoyed this sweet memory filled with HIS love and wisdom. Please share your Guru story and please also respond to this how did you like one of my Guru story. So that I can start and accomplish this divine thaught of having a blog with all guru stories.

Please do share.... Oh yeah if possible please send your one picture too.

Love
