Yoga & Meditation

Yoga means union of soul and supreme soul, man and nature - a harmonious relationship between man and the environment. Yoga connects mind and body through a series of postures, breathing exercises and meditation. Most important contribution of yogic science is it's capacity to inculcate balance between the physical and psychological. In this world of rapid changes, nothing is more crucial than balance. Yoga is an invaluable tool in intense and stressful situations, helping man to maintain psychological balance. Yoga is a path of self discipline and detachment from worldly things.

Despite technical growth, the real standard of living in terms of love, happiness and peace has yet to find its roots in our society. Yoga offers a unique way of life to man. It is found that "Prana" - the body energy is the basic life principle, which acts as a bridge between mind and body. Body and mind are not separate entities but they are interlinked. A calm and peaceful mind always stays in a healthy body. Best thing about yoga is that it does not need any equipment and can be done everywhere. Yoga can also be adjusted to suit any age and personal capacity. Everyone can use it not just to achieve physical well being but also to learn a better way of living. We need to realize that everyone else is also a soul and the entire human family is linked together. The ultimate aim of yoga practice is to overcome suffering and achieve holistic health and happiness. Yoga can make you look more toned and fit especially as you grow older. Yoga activates your energy system, so your body and mind will become naturally fine.       

    

                                         

Meditation is a magic bullet that is best for all kind of agitations. It maintains your inner peace, calm and stability of mind, which is the main stress in todays life. The peace, joy and love we gain from meditation radiates to all those we meet. The physical aspects of yoga and meditation are well known. When we meditate on our inner light, we find that the light within us is the same as the light within others and we began to see all living things as a part of God. That's what meditation is all about transformation, it needs a totally different approach. Everybody is engaged in a continuous internal dialogue process, which is created from the memories of our past and this creates tension. Meditation is the best way to loosen the grip of sticky emotions and promote both physical and emotional healing. Here are some benefits of meditation -

• Lowered blood pressure and hypertension 
• Slower heart rate
• Decrease cholesterol level
• Reduce production of stress hormone
• More efficient  oxygen  use by the body
• Increase production of anti-aging hormone 
• Improve immune system of your body                                                          

Yoga is capable of activating inner energies in a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. Yoga is a process of gaining mastery over mind. It is a subtle technique to calm down the mind or we may call it a state of equilibrium of mind. Breath is life but breath is not the soul. Breath is very deeply related to your thought process. Meditation is just watching your breath, sit silently and try to feel your breath and go with it. You will find there comes a point where it stops near your naval for a tiny moment, then it moves outward. Follow it -  go with it outside again and you will come to a point where the breath stops for a tiny moment, and the cycle starts again.That stop is called  inhalation gap. That gap is the most mysterious phenomenon inside our body. That is the only point where one can feel God. Once you continue this process, you will see that this gap is becoming bigger and this is called Sadhna. We should have some control over our breathing, because the waves of respiration control the waves of thinking. Beyond these, the greatest gift of meditation is the sense of calm and inner peace it brings into our daily life. If you want to live a happy life please give some time to yoga and meditation in your daily routine - it's very necessary in todays lifestyle.

"Deathless Minds, Ageless Bodies"

Yoga is a sacred gift from the divine for our spiritual growth. It is a sum total of all life enhancing virtues. We cannot stop ageing and decay of the body but a strong mind can lend great value even to a weak body. Yoga is a good way to improve strength and immunity of our body. It is a holistic discipline that leads not only a healthy body but also a strong mind. Physical exercise may keep the body fit and meditation brings balance and harmony between body mind and soul. As nutritious food and regular exercise needed to keep the body healthy, our mind also requires a diet of positive thoughts. We need to withdraw our attention from the outside world and try to focus it within through meditation. Then we can find ourselves free from pain and sorrow, actually yoga is the state of mental control and Pranayama  is the control of respiration. We can attain spiritual consciousness by focusing our attention within through meditation then we will experience peace and bliss.that,s what meditation is all about transformation it needs a totally different approach.meditation is nothing but freeing the mind from all thoughts and eventually focusing on god which is the origin of all existence,

Education

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass the examination and finish your education. The whole life from the moment you are born to the moment you die is a process of learning. EDUCATION IS NOT FILLING A BUCKET but lighting the fire of wisdom. Education through experience is the secret of life. The end product of education should be a free creative person who can battle against circumstances and adversity. Education imparts the knowledge, values and attitude necessary to become a good citizen. You may have acquired good qualifications, you may be earning very well, but unless you understand who you are inside you will never feel satisfied with yourself.

Education without wisdom and experience is incomplete. The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and critically, i.e., intelligence plus character That is the goal of true education. Just a formal education is not enough to live. There is a level of natural development of mind in everyone, but it requires proper education. Education is a journey not a destination. The main aim of education is to create human awareness. Our real worth is not gained through education but through humanity. This world does not need more brilliant or talented people, it needs ordinary people with extra ordinary motivation. Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world. Education is a great redeemer of dreams and imagination. We can fulfill all our dreams with education, we cannot deny the values and benefits of education. Education contributes in the evolution and progress of both, mind and society; it seeks to enhance the quality of life as material gain but it does not cultivate a value system.

What is missing in present day education is the art of living, which people have taken for granted. Today's education is based on the concept of making money rather than making oneself a good human being. Education does not teach our youth the wisdom of handling the ups and downs of life. Spirituality needs to be part of our education system, because it is only the skill that helps deal with negative conflicts and agony that everyone faces in life. If you have an apple and I have an apple, if we exchange these apples both will still have only one apple but if you have an idea and I have an idea and if we exchange them then each of us will have two ideas - this is true education which can link all the humanity together and true progress can be made! Todays education is not addressing to promote harmony in society,we are only educating the left side of our brain and this is causing imbalance in society. what is missing in present  day education is the art of living,means root cause for the uglyness of humanity is hidden in our education because it does not teach our youth -the wisdom of handling the ups and downs of life .This is the main reason that,s why many educated and successful young people attempted suicide at their peak because they can,t handle their problems . IT is very important to explore different DIMENSIONS OF LIFE to get a holistic education. if we need to reshape the humanity in this world , the role of education is to infuse values in individuals and change their inner-selves. Introducing ethics and morals in education would raise hope for  brighter future of this planet.     CHARACTER IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN ANY TALENT . An education without wisdom is in-complete.education on the principles and practice of hygiene and environmental cleanliness is very essential for our mental health because we share a oneness with this whole creation .no doubt today,s education is filling the human brain with knowledge but no one seems to care about filling the human heart with compassion , which is very necessary for a good and healthy life.

Health!

Poor health is not caused by something you don't have, it is caused by disturbing something that you already have.

If your energy body is in proper balance and full flow, your physical and mental bodies will be in perfect health. There are so many people who are medically healthy but do not experience a sense of inner well being, because their energy system is lethargic. You can only activate this energy by yoga and meditation. Medical science is limited to just knowing the physical bodies, disease and infection can be treated by medicines. However, for chronic aliment the root cause is always energy body. Every body loses energy as the years go by and this energy will dissipate over the time - this is called ageing and nobody can escape from it, because this is natural cycle created by God. 

Positive attitude is a very good thing to live a healthy life. Age is only a number, old age is also an opportunity no less then youth. All our health problems start from our gut. Do you know what is gut? You may call it naval or stomach, but actually this is the center of our body universe. In early childhood, gut bacteria has the maximum impact on the developing brain and it wears off by the age of three years just when brain expansion also starts slowing down. It has been shown that a clean gut   (नाभी; naval) helps in getting deep sleep, that's the reason why infants sleep so much. Whenever you become ill, first of all doctor will tell you to eat very light and bacteria free homemade food. The brain gut information channel is primarily the vegas nerve - one of the longest nerve in our body, it starts from head and after going through all the organs it ends near the anus. The other brain gut communication channel is our blood flow. The work of vegas nerve is to communicate with internal organs and relay their information and status to the brain. Our ancients also knew something about the brain gut connection as elaborated in the colon cleaning in ayruveda, nauli in hathyoga and patanjali yoga. All these activities stimulate the vegas nerve and helps in improving the brain gut connection. If you want to lead a healthy life always eat light and home made food, try to avoid "junk" food in all cases as it does no good for your body .

              our strength health and vital breath are dependent upon the power of digestion .daily exercise clean bowels positive thinking and meditation built our immunity and a strong immunity is your best health insurance plan .a healthy mind is the key to a healthy body . successful people have sound mental health . this whole universe and our body is made up of five elements they flow into one another and this is a harmonious relationship between the nature and human beings.if our inner mind is calm clear and pleasent our body will stay healthy.

DESIRE

Desire is your greatest enemy. Whenever a person is angry, behind that anger is a desire. Have you ever observed that whoever you are angry with or hate, you think of that person more than yourself.

Our life has two sets of memories - 1) memories of pleasant things and 2) memories of unpleasant things. Children often have pleasant memories more than unpleasant; that's why they are so cheerful!

What we need to embrace are pure desires of creative impulses, because this is the fuel for inner perfection. Desire is that glorious spark of energy that ignites dormant dreams. Desire implies a state where there is a movement towards growth, so always desire to learn something useful. Desires cannot be fulfilled at any stage of life, when one desire is fulfilled another desire crops up. When our mind acquires the object of its desire, it goes with something else and this thirst continuous the whole life, so you are advised only to control and regulate your mind. Modern life encourage us to desire more and more and when that desire mounts to a certain level people cross the line and enter the area of crime. But this will never make you happy. 

As you reduce your desires, your happiness increases. Desire is the greatest obstacle in obtaining the objects of desire, you spend sleepless nights to possess something but as soon as you get it, you see nothing special in it and desire for some other thing. This is the nature of life you can't change it. Desire is necessary to initiate action, without desire no action will be undertaken. Desire is not a bad thing, it is a primal force of creation. It is the desire that sparks and motivate sour actions but the manner in which desire is satisfied is the key part. When desire comes, analyse it, if it is good for you go ahead but if it is harmful put it aside.the urge to achieve more is unending , more you achieve more you crave for . Desire is the sign of being alive but when you are free of the bulk of desires means you are going towards peace. Meditation is a great way to break free from desires!

Women eMpowerment

We are all human species, then why are we dividing everything on the basis of gender? If feminism is about equality, then equality should be of opportunity and not sameness. Identification on the basis of gender means identifying with reproductive parts of our body, isn't it? If you must identify with body part, at least choose the brain. There is nothing pure and impure about the cycles of this body, this is just biology and God has given it to us for some purpose, so we don't have any right to differentiate it. 

Have you heard about Lord Shiva's Ardhanarishwara form, that is half man and half woman and the name means complete and ecstatic. In every woman there is a man and in every man there is a woman. How can the two be torn without harming the very fabric of life, actually male and female are inseparable and equal. The purpose is to realize that we are two equal parts of a complete ecstatic whole where one cannot exist without the other. Women are the backbone of any society, they are born managers and leaders. Men can inspire to fight but women always inspire to unite. Women bring us to this planet and teach us how to live; they have both gentleness and strength. There is a secret in our culture and it's not that child - birth is very painful, it's only that women are very strong. No man can do it. All beyond these truths it seems to me that unless woman begin to wear armour and have body - guards they are not safe. A woman's body is very open to penetration so she is an easy prey, and the urge to be secure creates more insecurity. It's very important for a woman to be educated and aware and try to change the mind set of society. 

Here I want to raise some questions in favour of women -

1) Why can't the government make it mandatory that no property can be bought or sold without the signature of wife?

2) Why aren't rape cases dealt with more severe action? Most of the cases don't get reported out because of social fear.

3) The biggest culprit is our religion - where widows cannot participate in many ceremonies - no woman can perform last rites. Why?

4) Why don't men keep fast for their wives so that she will live long. Is there a plan that the wife dies early and they can marry again?

5) Why don't men wear symbols of marriage like women wear the mangalsutra?                                                                                   
When it comes to women, empowerment is seen as a favour bestowed on them when it is every women's right. Ardhanarishwara is a combination of the masculine and feminine energies in the world - Purush and Prakriti are the root of all creation. When these complementary forces of nature come together, they create reality and that is what makes women more complete than man. A women's intuitive understanding of life and relationships makes her role as the great bonding factor in a  family and that is the unique strength of a women.
                                                                             
"The world's biggest power is the beauty and youth of a woman"                                                                     the nature of existence is more like a woman than like a man because man comes out of woman , woman comes out of woman means woman,s are the basic elements of this creation . man has a deep imbalance in his biology while woman is symmetrical and balanced that,s why she looks more beautiful and round woman has no corners

HUMAN BODY

Our body is not just an integration of limbs and flesh but it is also the abode of the soul. Have you ever thought that how much effort we are putting to respect and protect the purity of this body, which has been created by God. human body is an amazing machine, it requires regular mantance to run effectively.

In this world, we usually have options in every thing which means confusion. The more options you have the more confusion you face. Animals have very few options so they are not confused. In life you find that the more you climb the ledger of success the more freedom you get with more options but the person who is in the lower part of ledger has a very few options. Example - A single worker in a factory has less freedom whereas the managing director has more freedom, but by the same token worker has less responsibility. Therefore freedom also implies responsibility. The problem with us is that we want to lead without any load and that is not possible. People seek fulfillment in three ways - glory, goal and God. When you work for a larger purpose it unlocks your potential. This world has been designed perfectly to fulfill you, it is only the mind that plays tricks with you and can mislead you. So strengthen the intellect with knowledge!

All creations of God are a magical play of five elements - earth, water, fire, air and space. There are seven centers of energy in human body, different emotions are linked with each of these centers - 1) base of spine - enthusiasm 2) four inches above the base - sex center 3) naval center - joy, greed, and jealous 4) chest region - love, fear, and hatred 5) throat region - gratitude and grief 6) between the eyebrows - anger and alertness 7) top of the head - BLISS. Human body is made up of five elements, it's just like a clay mould for the soul, after some time on the wheel of time, a new pot is created on the same soul. 

Your body is unique, your body is yours, appreciate every feature of it. It is God's gift to you,  enjoy it and take care of it. We are here to celebrate life according to the laws of nature. This is a wonderful eternal divine cosmic play. Our body is a product of universal energies, every thing on this planet is composed of the five elements. In this universe, the whole existence is just one energy in various forms. Our  physical body depends on how we are able to manage these five elements. When your body is properly aligned and relaxed, it generates an amazing amount of power with very little effort. Diseases are caused when the organs do not get the required supply of energy. In today's life, we have become obsessed with speed and greed for accumulation of wealth, we consume more then we converse and this is very bad for both, our body and mind. We need discipline in everything to make our body and mind perfectly fit and fine. 

"You are a tiny little creature, but the entire universe is hidden within your body!"                    What ever exists in this world also exists in your body. you are a micro-cosmic expression of this universe.

Perfection

Human life would be perfect if anger had a stop button, mistakes had a rewind button, hard times had a forward button and good times a pause button. But is it possible? No! 

Perfection is only a mindset of human beings. The definition of perfection differs from person to person. The search for perfection is as old as human history, we all want to be perfect. The greatest perfection is imperfection; indeed the greatest excitement of life is in development and progress. If one becomes perfect, it would wipe out all excitement  from life. In an ever evolving life how can we seek perfection in any state? Do the best you can and bring passion to everything you do. No one is perfect in this world, but one should always aim for perfection. Unless there is imperfection, perfection cannot be reached. Meditation provides a way to perfect our ability to stay focused.this world is imperfect and that,s why it is growing . if it was perfect it would have been dead.growth is only possible in some kind of imperfection . if you develop your potential in the right direction you can get perfection. perfection is a state of no desires. human beings always perform actions with the purpose of satisfying their desires.perfection is not attainable in full because the goal always keeps moving. fastest way to break the cycle of perfection is to give up the idea of doing every thing perfectly because this life is always setting new goals at every moment for everybody , so love and rejoice this imperfection this is not a bed thing .someone will always be better than you at some level because no one can have all the good qualities.every human being is born with the great urge to achieve a higher position in society, the will to win , the desire to success . every one is also born with a special quality but this is the duty of every one to discover that quality and utilize it to reach the perfection , there are some key points for perfection---------1  if anybody is better than you , learn from them.   2   do not whip yourself with comparison because some one will always be better than you at some level.  3 maturity is the ability to live with things we cannot change. you have no control over what the world throws at you but you have the power to convert it to worship.                                                                                                                                                                 if you develop your potential in the right direction you can get near perfection . most people die without so much as a glimpse of what they really are. all appliances have instruction manuals, these are the guide lines to take the perfect use of it similarly every human being also have a sophisticated equipment within, but without guidance your life become a mess, wisdom and humanity can takes you to the heights of perfection . every human is consist of matter and spirit   . spirit is same in all but body is different . when you dedicate your action to a higher cause you become creative, energetic and happy  but selfish action results in failure and sorrow. perfection can limit our brain capacity, so only unhappy peoples are perfectionist because they are obsessed with their work otherwise nothing is perfect in this universe. perfection simply does not exists.

Write Your Own Destiny!

Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left. If you translate every mistake of your life into a positive one, you can design your future on your own. Write your fate with your hands! It is possible to get the power to write your own destiny. Your soul is the highest truth in yourself and this soul has the power to do whatever you want. You just build faith in yourself, build your confidence with trust and live by what you believe. How you experienced it within yourself is definitely yours, it is not decided by the superstitions you believe in. It simply depends on how sensibly, intelligently and with awareness you live your life. Your peace, turmoil, joy and misery everything  are all created by you, no one can create these for you. You alone are responsible for your thoughts and only you can change them. Destiny is your own creation through your own karma - you are the master of your own destiny. You can change your destiny only when you overcome the fear of failure. Every individual is self made, but the quantum of success depends on one's own planning. Every single second has an opportunity to change your life. If I believe I cannot do it, it makes me incapable of doing it, but if I believe I can - I acquire the capability to do it. When you have the courage to take a risk, then someway forward will definitely open. Vision without action is a day dream. Action without vision is a nightmare. No one can go back and make a new start in life, so start from now. 

Life is always giving more energy to you by two main sources -  one is by sleeping and another is food. Use both the sources wisely, your life will become so beautiful, if you are moving in the right direction then only you will want to live more and more on this planet. Man in general lays all the blame of life on their fellow persons or on God and says that it was his fate. But the truth is that we reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate, so why blame destiny because it's only you who is responsible for life. 

Never complain to others! God does not design people or circumstances according to our taste. So let others behave as they are - that is not within your control anyway. Not everything in nature is always reasonable, so don't complain for everything, try to make balance with it. This is life. You are not an isolated identity in this world, but an essential piece of puzzle of humanity, try to locate properly in this cosmic world. Difference of views and ways of thinking is deeply rooted in this universe. If everybody thought alike, what will be there to think. We have no right to think that I am right and others are wrong. Truth can be seen from many angles and expressed in different ways. We must except it and don't complain. As you grows older, your mind encounters rigid frames of  like - dislike, opinions, conflicts, fear, greed etc. It means your vision is influenced by your background, and we get imprisoned by what we know. So your struggle is to see that everybody should be fit in to your opinion and this results in the form of complain. This is a very complicated way of living. If you want to enjoy your life, please be flexible and try to sustain in any kind of situation.A purpose is a master plan of our life,it helps to define our goals. it is not something that others choose for us ,we must choose it for our-self . higher the goal the greater will be your energy.So arise ,awake and stop not till the goal is reached. there is an inner momentum , if we make the right choice that will keep pushing us towards our destiny. Every step we take today will make our future.Habits decides character and character fixes our destiny

"Your destiny is always in your hands. You just need to grab it!"

How to deal with difficult situations in life

It is my birthday today! 

I miss my husband very much today. Although I miss him everyday, but my birthday was very special for him. He always took a good sari for me on this day and pampered me. Now it's more than two years I have been living without him. After my husband's death, now I can very well realise the value of my children. This was the best and a very precious gift that my husband gave me in his life time. Children make our life meaningful and this is the only reason for which I yearn to live and take care of my children. I have three children, two girls and a boy - all of them are so responsible and sensible I really feel very proud about this. After such a sudden and shocking experience, they suddenly became so mature and responsible. My elder daughter is married but younger daughter and son are studying so I have a big responsibility to settle them in their lives. I know I can do it and I will.

   

Instead of criticizing any situation, let us use our time in something productive - this is the funda of my life. Complaining is a terrible habit, those who complain constantly do not wish to take responsibility for their actions. So please stop cribbing about what we don't have and look what is there for us. Our mind cannot be satisfied with either this or that, so never complain and try to utilize your mind in difficult situations. When we are going through the best phase of our life we never ask God - why me, because we take it for granted but if we lose our loved ones - we think why is this happening to me alone, our pain becomes unbearable due to the impact of the situation on us, we don't even recognise that this is an integral part of life's evolution. We need to cultivate the faith that this is the darkness before dawn and it will accelerate our personal growth. Main fear in such a situation is that how will I survive without any support in this big universe, but these setbacks are only the fear of our senses and to overcome that fear, we have to be very strong inside only then we can face the situation and cope up with this very intelligently and smoothly. I think when you lack inner strength, always put your energy into growing not griping. When you gain your inner energy you will become immune to external challenges. I have always believed that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way, we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value. This in our inner power, it makes us confident so that we can deal with any kind of situations in life.every body in this world goes through crises, insecurities ,illness etc. complications arises most often because we take things personally and too seriously . a rigid approach that expects things in a specific way only makes the matter worse. get rid of negative thoughts from your mind and  become  less complainer and more thanks giver than your problems will automatically dissolved. here are some points for overcoming very painful situations of life-----1 ) faith --    we need to cultivate faith that what ever going on is the darkness before dawn and it will accelerate our personal growth. 2) this is the law of universe you can,t change it , so try to learn a new lesson from any difficulty.  3) main fear from these setbacks is to survive without support, so try to become strong inside to cope up with the situation.every day is a new birth in time -holding out new beginnings, new possibilities and new achievements. the secret of both mental and physical health is not to mourn for the past , not to worry about the future but to live in the present moment .

FAITH

Faith is your inner conviction. In reality, you are nothing with the potential of every thing.

Never lose faith in yourself. You can do anything. Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow in. If we have faith in ourselves, nothing is impossible. It is the energy that can make things happen. It is the greatest blessing that God has bestowed upon us - if you have faith in God you can live in stability and equanimity. Faith is the spirit that sustains life, it is the ray of sunshine that lightens up life. A beautiful fragrant flower that blooms even in suffering.

But faith without work is dead. It is being repeatedly proved that the things of this world and our own possessions will not be sufficient to keep us happy. People are getting increasingly addicted to a materialistic culture. In the race for bigger and better, we tend to neglect relationships, we forget to love one another. It means people are becoming more selfish. So in the absence of faith, you can't move forward either in relationships or in life. Don't limit yourself, you can go as far as your mind. What you believe, you can achieve - so don't lose faith. Faith is the power that helps us to connect with the Supreme. We all are a part of infinite and that is God. - uniquely present in all of us. You are a spark of his glory and you will get peace only when you merge in Him and this is called faith. Our real worth is not gain through education but through humanity. Faith is composed  of the heart's intention - without faith there is no knowledge, because light comes through faith. Faith brings advantages like a sense of purpose and direction, the strength to deal with challenges. It is the power that comes from a fearless heart.

Faith calls out the divinity within so miracles can happen.

LOVE

LEAD SUCH A LIFE ,that when you die ,people may mourn you and while you are alive they love your company.if you can dream it you can do it. Love is the strongest thing in this world. stronger than hate ,stronger than death.Love is not an emotion but a choice.love creates the opportunities to heal wounds and to find peace.Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy,wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion. Love is our nature when love fills us and overflows in to our words it becomes compassion.compassion is loves fragrance,Love is complete in itself and does not need to be supplimented by anything.Genuine love essentially commits itself -first giving the best from the heart with no expectations of return. The spirit of god works within man to produce love that does not keeps a record of wrongs because love is unconditional. We experience ourself in the things we love more,that's why when we lose something we love we feel hurt or unhappy. so we are not just living in our body but also in the objects and people we love. we are all made up of  small units of life. there is one life that covers all the other lives. love is eternal,neither it is born nor does it die. in making love we make another our means of happiness. we do something for another only when we have some hope of getting something from him-means we desire the fruit. That's why our love may turn into hatred at any moment.love is like a flower in blossom. like food and exercise love is also our necessity for life. emotions add colour to our life. We should know that we cannot please every one all the time. You must not let your life run in the ordinary way , do something that nobody else has done before because life is a creative process not a journey. you can be creative only if you want to enhance the beauty of life,be creative means you love your life.A life without love is like a sunless garden.if you want to know true love-you must observe the love of mother for her child .This is the gold standard of love. The fragrance of flowers spread only in the direction of wind but the goodness of a person spreads in all directions. you love your family ,you love your religion, you love your country but this is not true love this is limited love,transformation of this limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality. Love is an inner energy which grows by shairing. jelousy kills love ,possiveness kills love- Love needs freedom.Love is our underlying emotion we desire throughout our life. Nature of love may change as we evolve  through different stages of life.From the day we are born the need of human affection is in our blood.no one is born free from the need of love.Love creates a blissful enviornment,it is the source of all positive emotions and energy .         LIFE IS A GAME AND TRUE LOVE IS A TROPHY.

Anger & Fear !!!!

Anger, fear and jealousy are the worst of all emotions. They make our life miserable! Do you know what is anger? It is just temporary madness, a product of fear, but you can get a hold to it and move on with your life. Anger needs to be thrown out of your body, because suppressing the anger inside your body can harm you. Use this energy for good work. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way, but how we react to it all depends on us. Our life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Anger is a weak emotion, but with practice it can be controlled and used to make this world a better place to live. Anger is totally a normal human emotion, but when it gets out of control, it affects the quality of our life. Three main approaches to tackle anger are-                                                                                                           

1) suppress your anger and convert it into more constructive behaviour.
2) control your outward behaviour.

3) whenever you start getting angry, focus on something positive, so that you can calm down inside.                                                                                                                                                                               

Anger is one emotion that can destroy everything. It makes you lonely and fearful. When anger grips a person, he is not in control of his actions. Forces of anger and hate have always being organised , while forces of love and compassion have been disorganised. This is why we say -  Love is blind. Love and compassion are the best tools to deal with anger. There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Misery and suffering only exist in our mind. To have a body is to suffer; suffering is not holding you, you are holding suffering. It all depends on how you draw these burdens around you.   

                                                                                                      

Curiosity about the unknown has always been a fearful territory. It's like taking a ride on a roller coaster. You may fear it but you still seek the thrill. The fear of losing makes a person insecure, the fear of hunger makes a person greedy, the fear of being upstage makes you competitive. In short, fear is the most identifiable emotion in a human being. When a person goes to see a horror film, somewhere inside he is challenging his innermost fear, testing his limits to see how far he can go. Fear is a response to our life situations which takes away our confidence. Everyone experiences fear at some stage in life. We must understand that fear is wired into our body system by nature, it is a useful emotion that makes us choose the options that keep us safe. Everyone is trying to overcome  different types of fears -  failing in exams, losing money or body or himself! But as we know nothing is permanent in this world, we have to deal with this sensitive emotion very carefully. In our bid to play safe, we let ourself be enslaved by FEAR . It is only a fear of failure because we all want success and growth all the time, which is just not possible. 

Relationships!

Today, I want to talk about relationships. Most relationships that fail in today's scenario are the ones where everyone is begging for happiness. When two beggers get married, they become poorer. But if you start giving to each other, there would be magic. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. You are not the best at everything. So learn to accept each others faults and choose to celebrate each others differences. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship. We sometimes reach to a point where circumstances get out of control. We may not know what to do. I think this is a good time to do nothing. Just let go and watch. In relationships people do hurt each other and create misunderstandings. The result is bitterness, anger, frustration and what-not! This all causes unhappiness. Forgiveness is the only way by which we can end such bitter situations. A little more acceptance from your side can make your relationship very good and strong. There is no situation so bad that it can not be transformed into a good one. Everything in this world keeps on changing -  nothing is permanent. The same goes for such situations too. The best formula for a good relationship is - "Do the same for others as you want them to do for you". Be sincere and faithful, the key is to give without expectation. Relationships are for happiness and security. The very idea of relationships is to make our life more comfortable, peaceful, beautiful and happy. Relationships sour primarily due to ego but try not to allow your ego to (mis)use you. It is a tool if you know how to use it and it will give you many wonderful things. Our circle of belongings depends on the extent of our ego. Inability to compromise and forgive can create humongous problems in your relationship.life cannot  be without relationship, it also causes a sense of dependence and possessiveness but it has a glowing depth and joy which increases by the time . the most wonderful thing in life is to find a partner for the life time with which  you can make your own family.

Silence ...

When creation happened, there was silence. Silence is the most powerful sound of this cosmos Before you speak, you ask yourself - is it necessary, is it true or does it improve upon silence? Language is only an agent to express sentiments. Silence is not just the lack of noise, it is a the state that transcends speech and thoughts. It is a kind of meditation. Silence benefits the entire humanity in a subtle manner. It is a state when words cease and powerful thoughts begin to penetrate the deeper side of mind. In the light of silence, all problems dissolve. When you silence your mind, higher power of brain get activated. When you make your mind still, you are able to access higher energies from nature. Everything emerges out of silence and goes back into it. So, if you want to create some magic in your life, delve into silence for some time. This will evolve you and give you the deep knowledge of creation.

Look at the examples in nature - trees, flowers & grasses grow in silence. The moon, the sun and the stars, all move in silence. We also need silence to be able to touch souls. Silence is a source of great strength. Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refuse. I have often regretted my speech, but never my silence. Silence is the true friend that never betrays. It is the state of mind where our five senses are resting by the grace of wisdom and purity of mind. Silence is the first door of spiritual eminence. Silence is the most effective medical therapy known to mankind. It has the potential to cure mind,body and soul. the power of life and death lies in the tongue means words are so powerful that they can either build or destroy you. so we rather use words very carefully or be silent because silence is the best way to avoid so many problems of life .

Life!!

You are not here accidentally, you are here meaningfully. There is a big purpose behind you. We all have come on this earth for some days to play, we are a guest on this earth so every body has to go from here after some time. Body is an instrument by which we can act and play our role on this planet. The whole of your life from the moment you are born to the moment you die is a process of learning. This whole process of accumulating information gradually becomes our knowledge, which is essential at certain level of our life to find a way through all the turmoils. We have to cultivate the feeling to see how the knowledge is used for a good purpose. Price is what you pay, value is what you get!

Life is always miserable - when you know your own value, you will not cry in any situation. Greatest challenge of life is to find who are you. Being happy with what you have and eliminating desire will make you free from stress. Every body is born with a gifted talent - identify it and invest your energy in it, You will always be happy and successful. Life is mobile,it flows like water in a river. Time flies as if it has wings; time and tide wait for nobody. A fallen leaf can never be placed on the branch it was born on. A good example is human life. Your childhood, your youth can never be return in life. The only thing that remains is just memories of the past. Time will change, the condition of your body will change, then why try to halt the flow of time. It is better to go with the flow, always remember the good times. Don't expect too much in life. Expectations are always painful. Past is gone, present is bypass and the future is yet to come. So why feel depressed, just enjoy the life as it comes in front of you. Human birth is priceless. Human being is the greatest being on this earth. Even the Gods have to come here through the human body. Therefore be awake and make the best of this priceless human body by developing the deep love in your heart for everyone. Take very good care of your body, because we can't do anything without it.

Happy at Sixty:-D

What do you mean by age? It is nothing more than a number. This is only the time we spend on this earth from the moment we are born. As we proceed on the pathway of life, we gain so much of knowledge and experience. That's why the older generation is more experienced than the new generation. Is there any science to live agelessly?. No, it is an art! 

Looking good and ageing well are an essential part of our life. Growing old need not be a graceless process. In fact it is important to retain grace as we age. A comfortable old age is the reward of a well spent youth. The most beautiful makeup of a women is passion. It is essential that we keep seeking knowledge - learn a foreign language, music, do sudokus or solve crosswords; do anything to keep your neural pathways firing. It keeps you young. Exercise daily to keep your joints flexible. Yoga is excellent for anti-ageing. Age is strongly related to your state of mind. There are people in their 70s who are more active than those in their 20s.

If you are passionate, love challenges and don't allow boredom to set in, you will feel younger. Share of grey population is approximately 9% of the country's total population. These are the people who hold loads of knowledge and experiences that can be utilized effectively to handhold youth, nurture society, mentor junior's, support a good cause and endless other avenues. All this is possible only when they feel respected, supported, cared for and continue to feel loved and wanted. Productive channelization of their time and experiences can make tremendous changes in our society. They can work as an extended arm of the family and make the home happy. This would be a humble beginning towards keeping the smile and pride alive on the faces of our seniors. If we want to transform structural inequality and embody the highest aspiration of all people to uphold human honour and dignity, we must have to do it. 

No longer being burdened with looking younger, enjoy the freedom and empowerment that comes with age and wisdom. So age with grace, intelligence and sensitivity. Lead such a life that when you die, people may mourn you; and while you are alive they love your company. ageing is a natural phenomenon and must be embraced . as a person ages his body weakens physically but not his mind,and physical limitation  is no longer a disabling aspect of life . all one needs is a developed mind and capacity to think and learn, in other words as one ages his mind becomes more competent with years of wisdom and experience. in old age the mind continues to produce as many neurons as it did in earlier age. ageing is not the beginning  of a countdown but it is the time for a count up . the world can benefit greatly from the wisdom of aged, in fact this is the nature,s way of enabling man to pass on his wisdom to succeeding generations because new generations are always in need of this unique gift. old generation is a prolific source of  guidance and advice . the key aspect of old age is maturity, not longevity.

A Shocking Truth

My husband's death was such a sudden shock for me. I couldn't even understand the situation; I was totally numb. "What will happen now, I don't even know how will I survive without him" - such were the questions bouncing in my mind. But after sometime, I realised the situation and took this shock as a stepping stone of my life. Shock is a great educator, it sets the process of brainstorming and then a whole new mindset takes shape in us, a new human personality emerges. Shock stimulates your mind and unfolds your hidden potential. So this is only the greatest positive factor in our life. Actually shock is not an accident, it is the language of nature that speaks in the language of shocks. Shock treatment is the law of nature -  you may call it a challenge or a nature call. If you are facing some problem in life, don't be negative because nature always tries to give you a lesson to unfold your hidden potential. If you use it wisely, it can turn your failure into success. Nature is the best guide and it always acts for the betterment of the humanity. Try to understand the lesson hidden in it, because all this is a part of divine planning. Nobody can change it. This is eternal. Those who listen to this silent voice of nature are destined as super achievers.
       There is nothing that is purely ours ,every thing in this universe is created by god ,every possession we have is given by him he can take it back anytime . Every personal crises can be a powerful teacher towards fulfilling the purpose of life . life is always shocking but you must never appeared to be shocked ,no matter how good or bad it is .every phase of life will passes with time because nothing is stable here. life is very complex with its unexpected twist and turns,we must learn to have a confidence in ourself so that we can face any kind of situation in life. sudden loss of our loved once in life gives a sudden shock and creates deep trauma in mind and heart. time does heal it to some extent but it still remains as a scar inside ,life is not to concern oneself with what has been lost ,but by wise planning to avail of what is still left now we have only one option to find a way of adjustment between our ambition and available resources. when we meet real tragedy in life we can react in two ways - either by loosing hope or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. we don,t even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. in times of tragedy people do amazing things, this is the irony of life. Tragic events in our lives has not been caused by our actions .adversity is supposed to refine human character . we find that the growth  of any kind takes place only after pain and  only human beings have the potential of converting their suffering into achievement. tragedy does not depends on circumstances but it only depends on our response in that situation. change for the better is always comes after a hopeless situation,when pain becomes unbearable it turns into remedy deep pain and trauma gave birth to stronger determination means traumatic occurrences also have positive sides. every person needs a shock treatment this is the course of nature without passing through it you will not able to achieve great success.everyone is born with a great potential and this comes out only in difficult situations.shocks are alarming reminders to connect with our inner source of wisdom. weather we like it or not , loss is an inevitable part of our existence it can come into our life in many different forms. at each turn of life a profound beauty is waiting to unravel itself, looses may also bring hidden opportunities for our growth. this is the right  time to start exploring your potential, do not try to save it for another life time. we are a part of the cosmic self and come into existence to fulfill the divine agenda

          

Success or Failure

Success in every sphere of life is almost everyone's ambition. Light is shallow, darkness is deep. Light is always bounded, darkness has no boundaries. Light comes and goes, darkness is always there. Light can be created, darkness can't be created - it is eternal. All this is the same as success and failure. Situations are never the source of failure. It is not the impulse of external which is hurting you but your inner translation is the real cause of pain. Failure always appears to help you to progress; never mind how hard you fall, always remember to pick up and get back on your feet because success lies in being able to get up every time you fall. One who is well armed for the battle of life and possesses good qualities becomes successful and prosperous. A single minute success pays for the failure of years. 

No matter how dark the night may be, one small lit candle can dispel the darkness!

Human Birth

HUMAN BIRTH IS RARE!

One should not lose this opportunity, human birth is very precious. Only humans have the capacity to worship God, so it is not wise to waste this life for mundane pleasures. It is everyone's duty to keep this body good and healthy. Time decides whom you meet in your life, your heart decides whom you want in your life but your behaviour decides who will stay in your life. I believe we are 100% responsible for how our life turns out. Challenges come to all of us, but we have a choice of how to respond. In every block of wood there is a beautiful statue, you only have to remove the excess material. Whenever you come accross a challenge, look at the other side - you will be surprised to find an easy way to tackle a big problem. Everything in this world happens for a reason, so keep moving forward and live without regrets. There is no need to avoid pleasure for fear of pain as both are inevitable. You didn't bring anything with you, whatever you possess has been taken from this planet only. Whatever you possess had belonged to someone else yesterday and it will belong to someone else in the future. Actually you didn't lose anything, then why do you cry? What did you bring with you that you lost? This body does not belong to you either, it is made up of five elements and after a while it will merge into its own elements. The soul is the only permanent. Think now - what are you, who are you and why are you on this planet. Life is fragile, delicate and very uncertain and this is the actual beauty of life. Life is uncertain as a drop of water on a lotus leaf, death may occur at any moment. Birth is not our choice, death is also not our choice, but the way we live our life is absolutely our choice. So enjoy it and make every day memorable.

Ready or not, one day it will all come to an end, all the things you collected in your lifetime will pass to someone else. We are here to feel the life's extremes - pleasure-pain, good-bad, health-sickness. Once we experience adversity, we get purified. HOPE is just a four letter word, but when we lose everything, it gives us a reason to live again. Hope releases the energy that helps you to shape positive outcome in any kind of situation. Remember, whenever things develop, there are always steps, not jumps!

Truth of Life - Death...

When you deeply think about yourself, some questions pop up in mind -Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here in this cosmos? What am I doing here? What is the purpose of my life?. If you want to understand life, you must read, you must sing and dance and you must suffer the pain and pleasure as well; only then you can understand life. Each person on this planet comes with a specific destiny. He has some message to be delivered, some work has to be completed and then he has to leave this world. Then we call it DEATH. Nothing in this life is as certain as death. Every living thing is bound to die. We appear on this world only to disappear after a short span of time. This is the cycle of terrestrial life, yet we hardly bother about it and continue to live as though we are here forever. Plans and programmes are laid out for years in advance even when no one is sure of what is going to happen tomorrow. The way we hanker after life is the main weakness of our life. It always keeps us restless. Death is not an end but the beginning of a new life. 

Death is as natural as life and nothing to be afraid of - Death is the road, life is the traveller, soul is the guide & that is eternal.

There is neither birth nor death for the soul. Death is just putting out the lamp of soul from the physical body. The soul stays in the body till death gives it freedom to leave the body & continue the journey elsewhere, what dies is the stuff of separation, the sense of self identity, which can only function in the illusionary world. Wiseman is the one who remembers death and keep himself in a state of facing it. Death is the opposite of life or even a precondition to life. Unless a seed falls into earth and dies, it cannot produce any grain. Birth is a form of death that leads to life in a different environment. Don't we all cast off worn-out clothes in order to wear new ones. Then why get so attached to this physical phenomenon. 

Death is a kind of fear you can overcome through spiritual discipline. We choose to leave when the work we came to do is done. When the body we are travelling in is worn out or tired, it needs to be discarded in favour of newer, more energetic ones. This is the natural phenomenon made by God. So nobody can deny it.  Do you grieve for the person who gets a newer more efficient vehicle, if not then why mourn for the one who departs from this life to another. It could be easier to cope with death if only we remember that truly there is a bigger plan, according to which it is all happening. Death is a return home process from this planet to a place called HEAVEN!!    

Thus death allows you to start afresh on your journey to enlightenment. Everything that has been created shall be destroyed one day & everything destroyed shall be re-created. These are the two sides of the same coin, one cannot exist without the other. Infact, there is no death for the body - it is only exchange of atoms. Atoms are changing their places and taking different forms. Death is actually a new start of life at other place in another form. There is a gap between inhalation and exhalation, which means that we stop for a while, if one could not regain the cycle - it means stop ( DEATH ) 

Infact, death is the off button of life meaning now this body is useless & you have to destroy it. Death plays a positive role in the universe to maintain the balance of nature. You cannot have a line with only beginning, somewhere or the other there is bound to be an end. Death is very much like sunset. 

Death here is birth else where. Every living thing on this planet is bound to die.                                                                 

Create a new beginning with every year!

No year passes by without a touch of joy or without posing challenges. You should plan to utilise every moment of joy and see every challenge as an opportunity for growth. A year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but an ongoing process which instills some experiences in our life. End of every year comes with a new beginning. Whether this world is getting better or worse by the passing years doesn't matter. Let us face some facts and decide -

1. Crime, corruption and fraud is increasing.                                                             
2. The population is always on the rise.There is not enough to feed and cloth everyone.            
3. More than a billion people are living in extreme poverty.    
4. There is more hatred and less love. 
5. Young people no longer care for the older generation. People are getting more selfish.     

If this is the scenario in our world, then what is the meaning of celebrating the new year. There is nothing new in the coming year. This is only the speed of time at which these changes takes place. Time is the greatest destroyer and creator. Time has always fascinated mankind. The only silver line is- when humanity appears to be at it's lowest, God himself will appear to save the earth. The reality is that there is always something good in everything, Even when you face challenges, think of the brighter side and make the best use of your precious human life on this earth, because every cloud has a silver lining. Half full glass is energizing rather than a half empty one.

Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present. Life cannot continue for long without serving others, and others serving you because we are all intimately connected to the cycles of sun, moon and the universe as a whole. REMEMBER THAT THE BODY HAS BEEN GIFTED TO YOU TO BE USED FOR HELPING THE HELPLESS. Everything in this world is temporary. Everyone has the experience of facing serious situations in life. BUT IF YOU BELIEVE that every situation is temporary and it will pass too, then every difficulty is bound to disappear after sometime; This is the law of nature. Difficulty is only a state of mind and it also has a plus point, that it unfolds your hidden qualities                                                                            

Pain and Stress

Pain is an indicator of incorrect action and stress is a positive sign. It unfolds your mental potential and awakens the mind too.Your mind has unlimited capacity but this is in the form of potential.You need to turn this capacity into action so that you can activate your mind  in a positive direction. There must be some reason why God made us imperfect. If not, we would never have made the effort to be better human beings.

One who is in pain might think that he is a total failure in life. "SUFFERING IS MADE BY OUR OWN DESIRES". It is better to avoid negative attitude in life. We can turn this suffering into a golden opportunity if we deal it with patience. Another way to deal with suffering is by engaging yourself  in community service or by learning skills to acquire knowledge.The mind needs good nourishment too, like our body. Tension is only the negative name of a positive phenomenon; in fact this is the sign of a healthy life. Every crises comes with an opportunity. A problem can give us a chance to grow. This world is unpredictable, is constantly changing and is a mix of pairs of opposites. These changing situations are the main reason for our happiness or unhappiness, but neither the situations nor the joy and sorrow are stable in our life. They are just the relative terms so why mourn about them.You have to face your life as it comes in front of you. Consider every moment in life as the final one. Heaven is not a place, it is a state of being where one experiences a sense of relaxation and lightness. Have you experienced that whenever you are angry or sad you feel very heavy and burdened and whenever you are very happy you feel you are floating and flying. This is the law of grace and gravitation. At every moment of life change will come, it could be beautiful or painful - it only depends on you  and how you see it. Life is a sequence of events that occur one after another. They take place in every individual's life irrespective of whether he is rich or poor, good or evil. This makes the life more interesting. Life is sad and hurts us many times but we must remember that after every dark night comes a bright morning, our job is to live the life and accept both defeat and victory. Nothing is permanent in life, all things are temporary along with our body so why should we worry, just enjoy every moment of your life and be happy!!

Letter to my Daughter

I wrote a letter to my daughter on her birthday. She lives in Mumbai, so I can't meet her on every memorable day of her life but I want to thank this good source of communication by which we can keep in touch with our loving ones. Also want to share this letter with you-

   
Dear Priyanka,

          It's been 30 years since you set foot in this world. When I held you for the first time in my arms at the hospital , your tiny hands were twitching and your eyes were shut tight. Your clenched fist reminded me of a science lesson that taught us how to get an idea about the size of your heart. I could imagine the little heart throbbing inside you. The eternal miracle of birth.

          I feel there are two ways to raise you. One is to wean you on cynicism and live your life pouring scorn on everything you see. The other way is to prepare you to live in this world. Life is very precious and equally fragile. So every day is a gift enjoy it and follow your heart. The mind can waver but the heart seldom does. When you grow up,seek a job you love. Don't be overwhelmed about money. It's important for living but it has it's place. Don't make the mistake of putting it right on top.

         Find your love, hold it dearly. Be a good wife, a patient mother and give your children space to make their mistakes. But hold them when they fall. But for this you have to give birth to your own child. This is the right time baby and this will give strength to your love for life. Give more importance to family than work.This is where happiness lies. At the end of the day, if you are not satisfied as a person, what have you done in your life. Live for today, want to be happy and keep everybody happy around you.

         
 LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF

         You never allow yourself to take off from work because you think everything would collapse without you around to hold it. Please go easy on yourself, Learn to Love yourself. Do you care for your mind and body as if they are the most precious things in your possession. When your attitude is - This is what I am, accept me or leave me. This also encourages you to accept those you love as they are, without attempting to change them. Let them live their dreams as we live ours. Despite living different dreams, we can still be together with our loved ones. In fact probably in a far more meaningful manner.What could you do to feel happy, here are some tips for you--

• Identify what makes you happy. 
• Compete with yourself..
• Don't expect everyone to agree with you.
• Live life according to your beliefs without inconveniencing others and be happy.
• Live in the present, the past is dead and gone.
• Increase the sources of your happiness- gardening, exercising, meditating, singing etc.
• Limit your desires otherwise you get caught in the vicious spiral of infinite wants.
• Forgive and forget. Forgive your opponents who played dirty games with you.
• Keep your curiosity alive.
• Spend time with young company. Their happiness is infectious and costs nothing.
• Share your smile with love.

Love,
Mumma

Life is a Gift, enjoy it before it ends

In every difficulty there is an opportunity. Life is really a choice........

   If one door closes another door opens.Question is indeed a sign of strength, but quietness may also help you to achieve strength. Silence is the language of God. Whatever happens will happen, but it's very important to value every minute of your life because you got to live it just once. To live best for yourself ,you must live for others too. Never hurt others by your actions. To build lasting relationships is not an easy thing to do because we always keep looking for comfort zones. This is a grave mistake. A selfless mind can only create a good relationship.

    Self realisation activates our innerself, yet it is entirely our own choice to follow the right or wrong path. Desires are like rubber bands. Once a desire is fullfilled, the mind produces many more desires. Then the mind stretches itself and we get tensed. It is very difficult to get rid of anger, greed, jealousy etc but not impossible. Good qualities appear difficult to cultivate, it takes great effort. Our mental structure is based on this process of choice, so our life is a series of struggles. Joy and misery, pain and pleasure happens only within you. So why try to extract joy from outside.What great things you achieve in your life will depend on your capabilities, the situation and the time.When you came in this world, you came with no investment so whatever happens in your life, anyway you are in profit .Most people live their lives without even knowing what it is that they really want for themselves, they are just settling for whatever is easy, whatever is within their reach.What we want as the highest in life need not have anything to do with our present situation. If you have a clear vision for yourself, it is not beyond your capacity to create it. You give your life towards it .This is one of the easiest way to attain the highest.

   The body is mortal and always held by death .It is the self which is immortal and held by pleasure and pain. So as long as self is in the body you can't get free from pleasure and pain.When self is free from the body then there is neither pleasure nor pain.

Shake Hands With Life!

Life is for living, learn to live life as it is. It is unrealistic to accept success and profit all the time. It is true that disappointment, pain and suffering have made life difficult, but they also made us stronger. During a crisis, we do need emotional support from family but if it is not available, it is necessary to find it within. Everyone lives his life without knowing what is the real purpose of life. The conscious mind has unlimited capacity for thinking and analysing facts. Nature gave us a tool known as mind and from this mind our discovery begins. When we go inside ourselves, we can discover our potential, our capabilities and our nature. We must organize our lives with our minds. 

By education, we can learn to maintain the systems, the cultures and the religions but there is no school which teaches how to smile, how to organise our emotions, how to work with our minds. This process is based on self awakening. When we are awakened, we begin to live with wisdom. Every problem carries a solution along with itself. If the problem is inside, the solution is also inside, but we need patience to discover it. Don't live a life with ignorance, live with awareness, live with knowledge! Only then you can fulfill the purpose of life.

Even a hundred years of life is too little. Sleep takes away half of it and the other half is expended in childhood, disease, misery, old age etc. Then how much of it can be actually utilized to achieve the purpose of life. We are apt to take things too leisurely thinking that the whole of life is before us. In truth, the time we have is too little. So enjoy every moment of your life, shake hands with life!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today? Today is a gift and that's why we call it as "present".

Sweetness is the secret of beautiful life. Obstructions and difficulties are challenges to growth.
