Guilty yet again - reAwakening with Dr Divya ji

By
It was a chance meeting with Dr. Divya (fondly called as chechi).  She stays in art of living ashram @ bangalore but was on a friendly visit to Ragini's house post our volunteer's meet.

Bala insisted to take a quick shower and come into volunteers meet post Guru Puja.

What unfolded was unexpected, pleasant and shocking? A path resetting exercise if you wish.  We had rare opportunity to hear Chechi/Ragini/Pawan in unison in Guru Puja followed by heart rendering bhajan from Ragini.

Dr Divya ji spoke at length and here are some drops of knowledge for you too. Its not verbatim and some interpolation and extrapolations are there too.

The reason we are born again and again is because we have this belief/thought or संकल्प  that "its not ok". Whatever is not ok happens in next lifetime. It could be stuff like

  1. how can they get divorce?
  2. how can he be killed in car accident?
  3. how come material things don't attract me?
  4. how come I am not a successful businessman?
  5. how come i don't have work life balance?
  6. how come I am not perfect in relationships, in business, in work, in society etc.,
And as outsider we see it happening and wonder on the imperfections and get stuck and keep them in some corner of our mind jut to be reborn with the same intention. 

So to break this recycling of human birth we need to believe in the "infinite organisation of this supreme intelligence" that "its ok". Trust that. Faith that. Believe that even if you are in mess till the end , its ok. You are taken care. Undoubtedly. 

The impersonal intelligence jut tunes to the frequency. Unless intervened by a personal Guru you are dragged into the mess, which could be a guilty trap. 

Like "I am not being able to do as much for the family as my better half." The guilt will rip you and grow indefinitely unless rain drops of knowledge dawns despite cyclone in Bay of Bengal.  Thank you Dr Divya. 

It will grow because nature only grows where you put your attention to. 
So its in your best interest to avoid the guilty trap or blame game or any other negative incline you chose to slide. Else your fall is certain.

You are privileged to do seva. Initially it could be to stoke your ego. People are benefitting because you are reaching out to them. But as you do advance programme or part 2 the ego melts, slowly allowing doership to sink into oblivion and letting the real you surface/manifest.

Your family will benefit in the short and long term by your participation in seva. Your time away from family is in reality for their progress/growth. It does not in any way mean to shirk family responsibility. It only means find the balance, the middle path in which they don't feel the distance nor you are stuck with guilty consciousness.

The knowledge, the practices, the master is all perfect, is all the best. When you have the best then why do you hesitate to share the love that you got so easily. Why are you ashamed and not proud of your association with all of the above?

People may disagree. But you are not here to arrange the clouds. You are here to share. If they catch the rhythm then dance else move on. Do not waste time in convincing people around on the returns on investment for being on the path. If they catch the frequency they will resonate else it will be noise. No point contributing to the noise, there is enough already in the society. 

The art of living happiness program is gateway to part 2/advance course. There you go deeper into meditation and increase your probability of leading a more meaningful life. The range of experiences in advance courses are as myriad as the the number of participants. Some experiences in advance were responsible for the setting of my path too.

Seva is art of allowing surrender to happen.

In kaliyuga only sanghachadwam can see you through. So build the group energy and then get onto the seva bandwagon. Its for your evolution that you are on the path. Its not for some little desire that you have come on the path, something like "become best teacher in world" or "become richest man on earth". They too will be fulfilled but you would have lost the time you had with a living master. A living master is your contemporary and you have to reap its benefits. Don't lose this once in many a lifetimes opportunity. 

Build the group energy, then the center will grow. Then take on the city/the state/the country/the universe...

Be free. Yes, In this lifetime only. 
Put effort.
Move On.
Its OK.

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

तुम दीन नहीं हो - live ashtavakra commentary by Sri Sri Ravishankar ji

By
तुम वही हो. तुम सूर्य कि किरण नहीं, तुम उस किरण का विस्तार हो. तुम सूर्य हो.  जिस प्रकार सूर्ये अपनी किरणों को हर खिड़की के माध्यम से हर घर मैं भेजता है, उसी प्रकार परमात्मा अपनी पूर्णता को छोटी छोटी आत्मायों मैं भेजता है.  यह बात दूसरी है कि जब आत्मा अपने पुर मैं वास करने लगती है, अपने शरीर रुपी घर मैं रहने  लगती है तो भूल जाती है कि वह सिमित नहीं है, उसका विस्तार ही परमात्मा है.  लेकिन घर मैं घुसने के बाद आप कांच के टुकड़े मैं सूर्य का प्रतिबिम्ब देखते हो ओर अपने आप को सिर्फ एक किरण मात्र समझने लगते हो. जरा बाहर झाँक कर भी देखो, सूर्य का अनुभव तो करो. तुम्हारे आस पास भी वही सूर्य का अंश है. तुम्हारे पड़ोस मैं भी वही सूर्य कि किरण है, तुम्हारे गाँव मैं जो रिश्तेदार हैं वहां भी वही सूर्ये है. सूर्य कोई भेद भाव नहीं करता. तुम क्यूं ऊँच- नींच मैं पड़े हो.  तुम्हारे दुःख का कारण  क्या है. तुम गुरु से तो मिले हो. तुमने गुरु को साक्षात् किया है. लेकिन तुम संपूर्णतः यह निश्चय नहीं कर पाए हो कि येही सत्य है. पूरे भरोसे कि कमी होने से ही दुःख होता है....

सोहम का महत्व - live ashtavakra by Sri Sri RaviShankarji

By
मैं वही हूँ. न मैं त्रितिये व्यक्ति मैं हूँ, न द्वितीये व्यक्ति मैं हूँ. मैं खुद खुदा हूँ. सो हम. यह नाम तुम्हे दिया गया है. यह तुम नहीं हो. एक बार एक संत जंगल के बीच मैं अपनी झोपड़ी मैं थे. तब वहां कोई ढेर सारा खाना लेके आ गया. उन्हें हैरानी हुई कि ऐसा क्यूं हुआ. तभी वहां ३-४ लोग आये ओर उनसे कहा कि हम भूखे हैं, हमें भोजन चाह्यिये. संत  ने कहा कि मिल जाएगा. वह लोग हैरान हुए ओर कहा कि यहाँ तो कुछ नज़र नहीं आता है. तब संत ने कहा कि "सच है कि मेरे पास कुछ नहीं है, लेकिन मैं जिसके पास हूँ उनके पास सब कुछ है. "   माँ बच्चे  को जन्म देने से पहले ही उसमें दूध आ जाता है. प्रकृति का नियम है कि जहाँ प्यास होनी होती है वहां पहले से पानी व्याप्त होता है. यह दूसरी बात है कि आपको  दीखता नहीं है.   आप पूर्ण हो क्यूंकि आप पूर्ण से बने हो ओर पूर्ण मैं रहते हो ओर पूर्ण मैं जाना है. पूर्ण मैं से पूर्ण को निकालने से क्या पूर्ण अधूरा हो जाता है. आप अकेले से बोर क्यूं होते हैं, क्यूंकि आप ने अपने आप को नीरस कर दिया है. आपके पास जिस परमात्मा को होना था वह आपको कहीं ओर दीखता...
