Judging the self

By
You judge the color of the sky based on yesterdays clouds that you remember today as seen yesterday. 
You judge yourself based on your thoughts that come from yesterday’s situation as you remember today as it happened yesterday. 

Are you seeing things as they are and as they happen? 
Are you clouded by thoughts born out of your perception of how it happened? 

Do you make a factual statement based on something somebody told on someday as to how it happened in their analysis of the worldly situation?

Whom are you judging here? What are you judging? On what grounds you stand when you judge? What is the basis of judgement? 

Are you basing your claims based on a moving platform? Will you have an stable opinion about yourself or anyself for that matter?

अपने वजूद को समझो, क्या तुम्हारा आधार है। निराधार राय को जन्म दे कर किसकी पहचान बना रहे हो। 
हथेली मैं बहती हवा को पकड़ कर एक ठोस पत्थर की पहचान कैसे निर्धारित कर सकते हो। 
क्यों ख़ुद का ख़ून और वक़्त जायज़ करते हो इन फ़जूल की बातों में ।

जिसको जानते नहीं हो उसको पहचान कैसे सकते हो।
उसके गुण दिखते हों तो जानो की वो ही है।

You really cannot define the core, the center by observing and noticing what is happening on circumference. 
It’s futile to even guess or predict how it will be inside when you dont know what is in.
It’s better to observe and propagate the characteristics of the inner being rather than making an attempt to define.

There are three qualities
  1. truth
  2. benevolence or consciousness , that only gives 
  3. bliss

कहते हैं कि उनके तीन गुण होते हैं 
  1. सत्य
  2. चिदा  - परमात्मा जो सिर्फ़ देते है , बस 
  3. आनंद  

So point is not to get lost in making an attempt to define or restrict the unfathomable, unconditional source of your creation. 

Enjoy its creation.
Notice its qualities.
Further its qualities. 

समझ गए न की उसे सीमित करने की कोशिश भी बेकार है जो निराकार है पर आकार मैं रहता है। नहीं समझे तो बस इतना समझ लो की जिसने यह सब बनाया है उसके गुणो को देखो और बड़ावा दो।

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....

second day at school

By
The stomach did pain again and bu now she had learnt the art of unbuckling the belt. Fortunately the pain came up just as her father was opening the door. The mother came rushing and wanted to help but the strict father wanted her child to master the art of releasing the belt and walk the distance towards potty on her own. The child did not disappoint and fulfilled the fathers desire in aplomb. to school. They went to the car together. Poor father carrying the bag full of books and the daughter carrying the empty bag as they were hopeful that something would come back in it from school. As they were moving out of their apartment complex the father eyes turned to the side and saw a lady with more than usual broad smile. He wanted to be the good man and stopped the car. He was sliding down the side window and almost opened his mouth then he heard " Are you going to school? ". " Ofcourse, I was with my daughter in the back seat. Where else could I be heading? " The fat...
