Your perceptions create your universe

तुम्हारी दृष्टी से तुम्हारी सृष्टि बनती है,  तुम्हारी स्मृति तुम्हे विचार देती है. वह विचार तुम्हारे संकल्प बनेंगे. संकल्पों से दृष्टि कोण बनेगा. कर्म कुछ भी हो, उसके नतीजे कुछ भी निकलें, उससे तुम्हे कुछ फर्क नहीं पड़ेगा. तुम्हारी स्मृति मैं वही बात जाएगी जो निष्कर्ष तुम पहले बना चुके हो. जैसे किसी को तुम बूरा मान चुके हो और वह अच्छी  बातें करेगा तो तुम शक करोगे की आज यह अच्छी बातें क्यूं कर रहा है, इसके मन मैं कोई खोट है. तुम परेशान हो जाओगे की आखिर यह मुझ से क्या चाहता है.  If you entertain only positive thoughts in your morning hour of meditation then you will fill your memory with matters of soul. No matter how the day proceed, you will be reminded and be in continuous touch with your pure consciousness. "Your soul is pure" is not a plain sentence. Its a powerful belief that can create a perception in your mind that you are pure as well as your neighborhood is clean. Then, when you deal with souls around and you have realized the true nature of your soul, how can you mi

Buy washing machine in Bangalore LG Service

Viveks personal had given up and said the LG technician would only come on Monday. I decided to try my luck with LG's customer's care service. I called them yesterday and they promised the technician will call me today at 11 AM. It was obvious that the call would not come. I gave a grace period of a hour and called them at 12:30 again, empowered by the complaint number. The lady said she has already informed the technician and he would have called by now. I could have said Pinch me to believe that. Again I held my sanity till 5:30 PM and called them back. Now showed some impatience and anger. He gave me the technician number and said he would come by 6 and that he would call me back now. I gave 5 mins grace period now and called back the number provided. You guessed it, the phone was busy. I started to believe's Vivek's prophecy as they would know LG better. To my surprise the technician did call me at 5:50 and told me he was at Marathahalli and would take about an

Stages to manage mental blocks

A typical scenario at workplace. You believe your progress is hampered by your superior. He is stopping you from getting promoted. What will you do in this situation? You will fight and feel the weight and hurt of banging against stone wall. You will  give up and allow your self-esteem to dip and accept your defeat. There is not much you can do because the other person has been in organization for a long time and any word against him would lead to your losing the job. There are four stages when we have to address situations like these in our lives Obstruction  - A person or event or comment disturbs our mind. We feel stuck. There is no way to go around. There is no way to go through. You have to face the situation. Instruction - You either tell your mind "This person is in my way" OR "This person is the way". The first will leave you frustrated and second will create a positive perception. You are glad that through this person you will learn more. You will go

Realization is personal responsibilty

An important step towards self realization is to go inwards. As long as the focus is outwards and on other person you will not be able to attain inner peace. The peace comes from self , within not without. A software engineer doubts his spouse and appeals to a spiritual organization to call and correct his spouse. A person who doubts is a person who is weak, who is low on self-esteem and who is already hurt and suffering. On top of that if you add the weight of your anger, what will happen to your partner/friend/relative. Do you think your destructive approach, driven by your selfish ego will benefit the relationship. Are you sure you care enough to restore the dignity and peace in relationship? You need a positive and peaceful environment for healthy relationships to flourish. If you have toxic thoughts what will happen to the organic life in spillage. Why is it easy to accept people with physical handicap as they are? Is it easy for your ego to see the handicap and feel gr

Buy washing machine in Bangalore Viveks

Vivek's washing machine LG : WM3431HS All-In-One Washer and Dryer TITANIUM delivery service is poor. They took away the old washing machine and left the new one packaged and in living room. When I called up Mr. Narayana of Vivek's JP Nagar 2nd phase, Bangalore showroom, here were his responses We are very busy these days and it is not our responsibility to unpackage and install the machine at location of your choice in your house. You don't like the package, Is it not looking good? I will inform LG tomorrow and they dont work on weekend so they can only come on Monday. They generally respond in 24 hours. Would you like to buy some accessories with the machine? So, next time when you buy at Viveks understand their definition of service.  I saw the LG customer care number 1-800-180-9999 on the cardboard package and called them. He said he was sorry for the inconvenience caused. He did not care to take the details on the dealer and thus I dont think LG has any policy o

Your soul is the actor, You are act

Your soul is an actor. You body is the costume. You have come to play many roles in this world. तुम्हारी आत्मा एक अभिनेता है. तुम इस अभिनेता का आवरण हो, तुम्हारा शरीर एक पौशाक है, तुम इस दुनिया मैं कई भूमिका अदा करने आये हो. तुम इस अभिनय मैं आत्मा से दूर चले गए हो. तुमने अभिनय को अपनी पहचान बना लिया है. तुन न तो अभिनय हो और न ही अशांति तुम्हारी प्रकृति है. तुम एक पवित्र, संपूर्ण, सूखी, शांत आत्मा हो. सिर्फ एक संकल्प चाहिए. मन से कहो संकल्प, बुद्धि से कहो मन को समझाओ, सांस से कहो इस संकल्प को अपने कण कण मैं पहुचाये. फिर अनुभव करो और खुश रहो. Most of the times you get lost in the act and forget the actor. You are actor. You are not the act. Act are transient in nature. They are like sequence of steps in dance. लेकिन तुम्हे तो धुन गुनगुनाना है. You do not get lost in sequence. You are attuned to the rhythm. A rhythm of love, peace and happiness. You are drifting away from your rhythm. You feel unhappiness, hatred, disturbances are natural. You have drifted from the actor to the act. Yo

How to manage change? How not to worry?

Life will always present situations. You can call them problems. You can call them hurdles. It all depends on your english/native  vocabulary. A divorce, bad boss, job loss, change of place, relationship breakdown, spoilt kids, demanding parents, forceful spouse, the list is endless. Name them and you have them. But what to do with them? The only thing common amongst all three is CHANGE. We are cuddled in our comfort zone. It may smell of sweat and snores but you learn to adjust. Change is demon that must be avoided at all cost. Thus we choose to forego all learning from newer challenges. You will only move when the earth below moves and your feet have nothing to hold on to. But you do move, A loss of any kind cannot stop you from living. You simply cannot waste the life force within. You cannot create a rule of denying yourself of happiness, just for a loss. A loss is part of game as much as gain is. The change mostly comes from external circumstance, external person and sometime

तुम इतने परेशान क्यूं हो?

माया की सौ बातें, परमात्मा  की एक बात. माया कहती है, कहाँ? कैसे? क्यूं? किसने? कब? ऐसा क्यूं किया? मेरे साथ ठीक नहीं हुआ!, उसने ऐसा क्यूं कहा? परमात्मा कहतें हैं की सिर्फ मेरा नाम लो, मैंने तुम्हे इसलिए ज्ञान दिया और अछा अच्हा कहा की तुम दुनिया के काम आयो, इसलिए नहीं की मुझे तुमसे कोई उम्मीद है, लोग अक्सर अछा अछा बोलतें है जब उन्हें आपसे कोई काम निकलना होता है , लेकिन परमात्मा की मनसा ऐसी नहीं है. जब ज्ञान लिया है, ध्यान  किया है तो परीक्षा तो देने ही पड़ेगी. यह परीक्षा साल के अंत मैं नहीं आएगी, बल्कि हर दिन और हर पल ऐसी परिस्थितियाँ  आएँगी  जो तुम्हारे ज्ञान का  खरा परिक्षण लेंगी. अगर तुम्हे लगता है की अछा सोचने से और इश्वर का ध्यान करने से ज़िन्दगी आसान हो जाएगी , तो ऐसा नहीं होगा. बस तुम्हारा नजरिया बदलेगा और तुम पर क्या असर होता है , वह बदलेगा. बाकि तो तुम्हारा बीता हुआ कल और पराये लोग और उनके विचार तो हमेशा रहेंगे. अपने भूत काल को आज मत बनायो, नहीं तो वह तुम्हारा कल बन जाएगा. भूत को भूत मैं रहने दो, भविष्य को भविष्य मैं, खुद को खुदा मैं. ज्ञान की बातें लो और उन्हें दोराहो, तब त

How to get rid of unnecessary metrics in Google Analytics?

Create a custom report and include the metrics you are interested in say "visits". This will remove the most popular calculated metrics like "bounce rates" etc., Save report as "mycustreport" Create an advanced segment and specify your criteria like "page exactly matches '/mypage/my.html'. Save it as "mypagesegment". Go to your custom report section. View "mycustreport". Choose "mypagesegment" from top right hand corner and uncheck "All visits" from default segment. Voila, you have a custom report that only shows the metrics you want (visits) and data that you want (which page of my website had how many visits). Use the Export/Email/Schedule option on top left hand corner and set up/share the report with your customers. How simple was that?

How to sort your mind and clear way to beauty and love?

How do you start clearing your accumalations in the memory, your storage from this and all past janmas? You sort. You open door. You keep outside. You only keep the learning. You only keep the knowledge. Then in your silence, you will have interactions instead of monologues. You tell your children to clean their room and pack their things in order. Do you tell yourself? You know that sorting has to be done. Why don't you begin? There is so much clutter and so many thoughts coming from so many directions. How can you maintain your inner peace when there is so much violence within? There are deeper levels of consciousness within. You can reach them and touch them, only when the roads are clear. How can you expect to appreciate the beauty of a city when you cannot release the tension in your leg tha is holding the clutch for first gear? Your thoughts create a chain reaction. You had a bad day in office. You had chain of thoughts. The thoughts led to a feeling of hopelessness an

Think no evil

See no evil, Say no evil, Hear no evil. Have you considered "Think no evil". Thoughts build destiny. Do you want to build or drive full blood with empty hopes? Your morning should have a dose of spiritual intellect. Post meditation, it will be your guiding light, north star, for the rest of the day. Thoughts have iron clad gloves to wrench you and squeeze the life out of you if you don't "Let Go", "Forgive". People tell one word and go away to do thousand different things in their lives. You hold on to that word and make thousand versions/evils out of it. This is unhealthy and utter waste of your life-force. We go to ten people to validate our angry thoughts and justification. Is it required? Why don't you let healthy thoughts occupy you instead? The only way is through love. There is no other way. Every other way might look to accomplish something temporarily. Create a purpose in life to "full it" from peace to peace-full from h

How does your body feel from within?

If you are feeling lighter than before. If the problems seems to getting resolved by themselves. Do you feel, sense there is a hidden scheme thats supportive and clearing the ways for you. It could be a sign that God is working hard to strengthen your soul. But, if you feel heavy. There seems to a weight that you are carrying within, it could be a sign that विस्मृति हो गयी है और वक़्त आ गया है की स्मृति हो आत्मा की. Its a simple game of forgetfulness and remembrance of soul consciousness. Your body consciousness leads to heaviness and soul consciousness leads to lightness. The principles are simple. How to reach out to soul is also simplified? Your purpose of coming here is also well defined. God has not pushed you out of your abode nor does he want to enjoy your pain. He has sent you with a specific mission एक विशेष लक्ष्य  and it has three purposes to fulfill Your soul is an actor. It needs a stage to perform. यह सृष्टि वो रंगमंच है जहाँ तुम्हे अपनी कलाकारी करने का न्योता मिलता

Does darkness has source?

Light has got a source. You can turn towards light. Darkness does not have source. If you face your shadows you will be in dark. Light fills darkness. Shadows disappear. Could be fear. Could be mind. Intellect causes visualization. Mind follows visuals. It runs after them. Intellect is like a big brother who is nudging small brother the mind to come out of Mama's protection. Mama is holding the small brother, struggling to keep him in the kitchen and forcing him to sit in one corner. But ignoring the Big brother. Learn to turn intellect towards God during your conversations with Him in Morning Meditation. Rote and repetitive mantras in ancient language may not help. Its simply unidirectional monologue. It is natural for mind to have a steady stream of thoughts flowing. You cannot force it to stop thoughts. Forcing always has destructive consequences. Its like constructing a wall in middle of stream, someday the force of water will tumble the wall and then you will have to

Spiritual being on human journey

We are spiritual being on human journey. We are not human being on spiritual journey. Spirit does not need a journey. By its very nature, its pure, truthful and embodiment of happiness. There is nothing to be accomplish there. Its already in state of being that is untouched and unperturbed. It takes human form to take it through his human journey. There are certain acts to be performed , certain responsibilities and certain interactions that you just can not ignore. While doing so you may hurt the body now and then, mostly through external sources but you will keep the hurt in your memory museum. Its like playing a team game like football. Sometimes you hit the ball. Sometimes the ball brushes against you, whiz past you or comes in front of your nose with full force leaving you bleeding and pleading. Remember its only a game. It happens. As long as you have the soul perspective आत्म  स्मरण and continue to play your roles while respective the roles that others play like bosses,spous

Thoughts, visuals, experience

आत्मा does exercise its power. It instructs the mind to create thought. Then intellect creates visualization of the thought and body experiences. आत्मा  मन के द्वारा विचार प्रकट करती है, बुद्धि के द्वारा हम विचारो को देखतें है और फिर शरीर उनकी अनुभूति करता है.  विचार, देखो, अनुभूति | Thoughts, visuals, experience  Imagine you think about your child. The image of your child comes along with thousands of related memories. Now, suddenly if the thought of your mother comes before the "visuals" of child and related memories come. Your visual will get shifted to your mother.  How many memories and visuals do you have of परमात्मा/ God? Now, when the thought of lord comes, how long will it sustain? There is hardly any related content to support the thought and then you move on to next one. The next thought is from corporeal world, more physical, more can be seen, more can be touched/smelled kind. You hang on to it for dear life as reality.  That is why Brahmakumaris  have clearly and

Let be, Let go

Let be.Let go. Let your sorroundings be the way they are. Do not interfere in others life. Interfere in yours, if you really cannot live without it. Let go of your attachments at physical level and reach out to them at soul consciousness level. With body you limit your reach and depth in relationships. With soul, there are no boundaries, there is no end. It's boundless,pure and enormous. Do not control others, sorroundings or situations. You will be led to frustrations. You are not here to change the world, control the world. Can you influence by shouting? Influence happens. You cannot enforce it. You will wonder "Why does not my child listen to me anymore?". Think of the moment when she started to drift away and reduced sharing. As kids, we share everything with parents. Its a beautiful exchange. But as you grow parents impose the right way and my way. You say "I will find my way". And then one day there is surprise for everyone. Drugs/Murder/Suicide/Menta

Talk less, sweet and slow

कम बोलो, मीठा बोलो, धीरे बोलो Can you do the above for a few days? See if your thoughts slow down the rampage. Observe the change. It does not mean that you have to suffocate yourself if you have a strong urge to speak. Do not muffle. Shuffle with the experiment for few days and see. See if you can collect wasteful chatter that you were spilling out in anxiety/anticipation. Drink the words. People will not fritter away when you don's speak. Anyways, how many days you have for this tongue to unleash? Do not assume that by speaking you are helping others. Essential talk is must and is good for relations building. Wasteful talk is loss of energy. Conserve. Everybody here is for themselves. Its not selfish but true fact of living. You may have assumed that you are doing this for that or them. But deep within, its your desires that are getting fulfilled. Your destiny is in your hands. Again? Your mind goes out and tries to hang on to outside events and people, hoping they will

Chanting Pranayama and relationship

Chanting will divert your mind and will keep it engaged till the time you chant. You will receive positive energy that the sound brings, words like ॐ are very powerful energizer. What happens once chanting stops and you come back to the world, your कर्म क्षेत्र? प्राणायाम is also good for the physical body. It will bring peace to the body when you are doing it. The peace will be at peak in the beginning. Its a surprise to the mind, it does not like thoughts stream to slow but when it does you gain the benefits. What happens say after a week or a month? Your mind gets used to it. It starts to wonder again, forget about the day, in the morning too when you are doing body योग और प्राणायाम. Mind gets bored with routine, very easily.  Relationships go through multiple phases and essentially are of four types.  परिचय -  Lets say you want to organize a birthday party for your kid. You will have to make efforts to remember all those whom you want to invite. You will be worried if you forget s

Where is home?

Who are you? A sparkling dot of light called as soul or आत्मा Who is your father? Another sparkling point of light called as supreme soul or परमात्मा Where does he stay? Beyond space and time in a place which is full of unconditional love, silence, and peace. A place of reddish brown light? What is basis of your relationship with HIM? Love not fear. How can a soul immersed in ocean of love punish you/ become angry with you? Its HIS nature to be loving and he ONLY gives unconditional love. The ONLY one in whole universe where love comes with no expectations attached. Who claim fear as basis of relationship? The one who wants to exploit your fragile state of being. His only GOAL is for you to KNOW YOURSELF and come back to your TRUE NATURE. No amount of stones, rituals will happen as they are always external to your state of being. Where is your home? It is same place as of your father/परमात्मा. Why do you come on this physical world? This is our workplace/कर्म क्षेत्र. It i

You dont own feedburner's feed

Blogger introduced adsense in feeds and the same is available under Monetize link in second tab. I clicked and it said that you will have to remove the feed address in Settings| Site Feed as I do not own the feed. So I went to the settings and removed " http://feeds.feedburner.com/dsteps ". I went back to Monetize page and Google happily went ahead with the customization process. I went back to see the feeder link and Google had internally created my old feed link with nice name to something that was cryptic and machine like  http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EAJw . I changed it back to old feedburner link and again the Monetize tab was smart enough to tell me that I did not own the feed. I lost faith on my memory and went to Feedburner. It is now integrated with Google and does not require a separate login otherwise I kept forgetting my password and stopped going there. So I went along and checked whether I really owned the feed or not. And I did and along with my nic

Experience to Expression

In the morning you meditate and generate power to handle the day. The day will progress and will give you situations. You can be detached in the events. You can be passionately involved too. The choice is yours. If you get involved you lose trust in meditative power. Next day too you meditate but with lesser assertion. Slowly you wane away and drift towards old habits. Every situation can be a reason to learn. Your thoughts shift from logical justifications to applying your sanskaar. When people expect aggression, anger ; Give them love and respect. Anyways, its for the eternal soul that your energies are now directed and focused. Both for yourself as well as for the world. The more you apply the stronger you make them. Assert("I am peaceful soul. I am happiness. I am peaceful. I am pure."). Regular Assertion is a reminder to ourselves as to who we really are. When you lose faith, you describe the assertion as hypnotism. God has to be a personal experienced. Knowing yours
