Why fear when you can substitute an unknown apprehension (which mostly is proved wrong) with a firm conviction that “all is well in my life”. The safety switch is in your mind; it is your trust in the understanding that life is a seamless process, a continual growth, releasing the unwanted and welcoming the blessings. This trust helps you overcome all fears of life, the seeds of unhappiness.

You are here to live the higher truth and share the fearless process of a true seeker.

The difference between pure mind and impure mind is, in a pure state of mind all appear to be the manifestation of One Divine Principle. Impure mind cannot see the Divine residing in everything and identifies everything with their external names, forms, duality and multiplicity. It is the impure state of mind, which is the cause of all miseries in life. Spirituality is to awaken in us the thirst for Truth and reality behind all these appearances. There are various paths to that Truth and one of the simple, yet most assured paths is Love, devotion and complete Surrender to the Divine Will.

In order to purify the mind, you must take the route through your heart. You allow the lower mind to surrender to the Divine dwelling in all the diverse manifestations of life. You realize that what ever the Universal (God) design is that is, what happens in life. With this realization comes an understanding that the Divine Will is Supreme. As you deeply ponder over the Divine Will in your life and start to surrender the outcome of most of your efforts, you find it easier to move through the turbulence of ups and downs of life. You find it like a joy ride. There are ups and there are downs but Joy remains!

Through surrender or consecration of the outcomes of most of your efforts to the Divine hands, you rise in your consciousness due to the positive light that comes out of the surrender of the ego at the Altar of the Divine. As your ego becomes more and more supple, you find that your mind is becoming more and more restful and mindful. You grow in illumined awareness. You start seeing the Divine hands playing in your life and miracles start happening around you. Of course, I never ask you to eradicate your ego. Ego is like a pinch of salt. If you do not add it, the food becomes inedible and if you add too much of it, the food again becomes inedible. That is how it works! In a pinch, lie its wonders! You need to exterminate its excess and keep the trimmed ego with you.

As the mind becomes more and more refined due to the process of this Ego trimming ego and Mind cleansing mind, the Higher Principle becomes clearer and surrender deepens. This is a deep love relationship. You are then ripened enough to offer yourself completely and unconditionally to the Lotus Feet of your Beloved Lord. Now you take no credit or discredit for your actions, for they are driven by the Higher Self within you, which is devoid of the negativity of the ego.

As you reach to the Higher Mind and purified intelligence, now you start to see that the Seer and Seen are one and the same. The one who is surrendering and the One to whom all surrender is done or practiced become one and the same. It is the highest realization, which begins with sublimating the separate existence that is ego-self to the Real Self. Surrender and love thus takes you to the Highest Ground of Unified Field of Consciousness where all is Advaita- ‘One without the second’.

This is quite a tricky situation. If this relates to your workplace then it is a matter of discipline. If you are on the righteous path and mean to cause no harm to any one, then you will always create an aura of your own, where people will learn a lot by just being in your presence.

But at times you need to take a stand just to make sure no body takes advantage of your softness. It is the work in the workplace that is important. It is the corporate goal that is important. The team leader will have to lead by his/her own example and at times be hard in order to set the house in order.

As long as you don't deliberately hurt the other but do it for the good of the other, you are OK. It is like your child is hurt when you chastise her, but if you do not do it and allow her to do what she pleases, that could lead to wrong practices on the part of your child. Do you think that will ever do good to your child? Of course, you need to give freedom to your child to a certain extent else how will he flourish? But, you need to keep a check on how he uses the Freedom.

So, your motivation is to not hurt others. At the same time, getting the desired results out of a person or group also needs tactful administrative skills.

Look for the right time to communicate what you want to communicate and give it without any sense of ego involved in it, and let the other person feel that you are who you are. Tell the person that you want him to improve. Be gentle. Be calm but at the same time, be firm! Listen patiently to what the person has to say and before you conclude, try to delve on his opinions that make sense to you. Finally, incorporate both the aspects-yours and his and make your remark.

Leave the rest to the Divine in a note of utter surrender.

Finally truth hurts. But who is hurt? One who is not in the path of the truth and treads the path of untruth. How can you help that!

Don't worry about worries, and don't war against worries. Win them by being anchored in the Light of your Spirit.

Let small little chores of your daily life become the tools for your experiments. Experiments to see whether you can do them with Awareness, with alert attention. With meditative feelings of being present right there. Tell yourself that you are not a worrisome child, but you are the Radiant Child of God. That you love yourself and that the world and the Universe love you as you are!!

Wake up in the morning, live the day and at night slide into slumber by being grateful for the small gifts that you gifted yourself out of the bouquet of flowers of joy that greeted you every time you woke up from the sleep of unawareness, and accepted Light and Love coming from all directions. Yes, it is the Way to Live and that is your Journey.

It is the body that is the Khestra or the ground where we are to harvest the fruits that we need to enjoy and share. And we need strong nerves to face the odds of life and turn it into a divine melody. 



But most of us take this body and its functions (organs) for granted, as if they can take any amount of toxic elements and chemicals forever!! But is that a possibility, even by the furthest stretch of our fantasy!!? 

 So, if stress and toxic accumulation is an inevitable part of life, then why not we agree that relaxation and detoxification and regeneration are also within the limits of our own power?

Can we not resolve to clean the bin of our body mind on a daily basis? Can we not make practice of Yoga, Pranayama, or any other practices that give the brain the message that we are now ready to gift our cells reasons to rejoice, to be happy, to function in their own natural rhythm in harmony with the Universe?



Let us not forget that trillions of cells can continually join in the Symphony of life in its own harmony and melody provided we don’t keep accumulating poisons but purge it, release it, allow it to cycle the eternal dance of dying and birthing, creating space for the new born fresh cells. 



Yes, God is ready to help us, provided we are ready to help God!!
