जब गुज़रे कल के आज पर गहराने लगें साय, और आने वाले पल की चिंता खूब सताए,

तब याद करना सरल सी एक राय, की, बीते कल का कर ही देंगे ईश्वर न्याय और आने वाले कल की हर समस्या का उनके पास निश्चित ही है कोई न कोई उपाय, और यूं अपना आज व्यर्थ न गंवाएं।

इसीलिए, अब से जब कभी भी मन घबराए, तब खुद को यही बात याद दिलाएं, और शीघ्र ही अपनी सभी शंकाओं व संशयों से छुटकारा पाएं।

इस एक बात को अपने जीवन का मूल-मंत्र बनाएं, तो ज़िंदगी मे॔ हर पल रौनक और रौशनी जगमगाए और तो और यूंही इस डगर पर चलते-चलते हम धीरे-धीरे ईश्वर के समीप भी पहुंचते जाएं।

……..the soulful journey beginning from matter and material….. leading towards the Intangible and the Eternal…… is a long, lonely and laborious one…….the path is one of unknown ups and downs, of unexpected highs and lows…..of unpredictable twists and turns……brings one finally to the abode of abiding Bliss……fulfilling Peace…… lasting Contentment…….all we have to do is just keep going…… keep moving …….with unfaltering faith and unconditional commitment……

Our lives are so world centric, if only we would make it more God centric, then we would have so much more peace and calm in and around ourselves. When we move the focus of our attention and existence from people and anchor it in the Divine, then we restore our lives true foundation and experience lasting stability and contentment. In a God centric life our happiness is not based on the fickleness of the world but we remain in a state of constant joy with its roots deeply embedded in the Imperishable and the Eternal, hence our sense of fulfillment is permanent and free of all external factors and changes. Therefore, we should try to forge a bond with the Divine in any name and form depending upon our inclination, like that of a friend, father, or any other. Overtime, this connection will be stronger and become the centre of our lives and then we would truly live a Godly life with Divine Grace and Gratitude.

We are always so concerned about our social standing, monetary acquisitions, personal prestige, professional endeavors and ambitions, and many other such issues of like nature. But have we ever cared about our inner world, our state of soul and the development of our spiritual aspect. Even if not for the sake of spiritual development then atleast for the sake of our tangible bodies we should attend to the spiritual aspect of our being. Our soul is like the engine of our bodies. The body will be as healthy as the soul is nourished. A fulfilled soul becomes the basis of a healthy body. And incase, any bodily fraility comes our way then a fulfilled soul will help in alleviation of the ailment, hasten recovery and give us strength and courage to bear the bodily pain and discomfort. So, for one reason or the other, attending to our spiritual aspect of being is just as important if not more, as attending to the rest of the aspects, as this is the foundation of our very existence.

We are our only truest, deepest, longest companion. Our friendship with ourselves lasts for a life time. So, it only makes sense to try to know ourselves. And to understand ourselves we should observe ourselves and our responses in different scenarios and situations. How we feel when we are in company and when we are in solitude by ourselves. Some moments of silence and inner introspection will also prove useful in the journey of self discovery. Self- study and seeking guidance of those who are ahead of us in this path will help share and lighten and brighten our path. Gradually, we will come to know ourselves and realise our true nature. We will make amends and take the necessary bends. We will accept ourselves and remain happy in our own company. Maybe, even begin to like ourselves for all that we are and also for all that we are not. And thus our journey with our life long friend will prove to be a fruitful and fulfilled one.

Life, events and people, all have a lesson for us. We have to realise and learn our lessons well and gradually fulfill our destinies. Each occurrence tells us something about ourselves and those around us. Every happening leads to a new discovery about our inner and outer worlds. All experiences either tell us what to leave behind or gives us something new to take forward. All we have to do is to keep learning and keep growing with Grace and Gratitude.

But sometimes, somethings happen in which though, we have a role to play but there happens to be not much of a lesson in it for us, it’s just like playing a pre ordained part. And that is what more or less what it is! At such times we are just instruments of the Divine in the Divine scheme of things. These are meant as lessons for others. We might not have much to do except just perform our part as assigned to us by the Almighty without much interference. We are merely His mediums to perform His task. So, at such times even after much cogitation if we are unable to find out lessons in it for ourselves, then we should simply realise, that these are lessons imparted by the Almighty for the sake of others. Therefore, we should just perform our parts with humility and leave it at that. This in itself is perhaps our lesson in this!

A new lesson learnt, sometimes we are a lesson unto others, and at other times, others are a lesson unto us. So let us together make and know life as a mutually enriching experience for all of us and learn our lessons well and at the same time serve God as well as we can and play our parts in the manifestation of the Divine Will.

कुछ ऐसी है मन की बनावट, की हमारे ही अंदर हैं दोनों देवता और दानव,

यूं है कुछ इस जीवन की रीत, की खुद में ही है हमारी हार और जीत,

ऐसे करना है यूं इस जीवन पथ का चयन,की जहाँ हो बुराइयों का दमन और अच्छाइयों को हो सत-सत नमन,

अब भला कैसे हो यह चुनाव, तो इस के लिए है एक सरल सुझाव,

जब जीवन में ज्ञान के दीप जलेंगे और मन के अंधेरे मिटेंगे, तभी तो हम जीवन में सदा सत्य के मार्ग पर अडिग चलेंगे।

When we learn to like things which we earlier did not, when we learn to face situations we never expected ourselves to, when we gather energy to deal with circumstances where we initially feel helpless and intimidated, then we realize the Divine within us, as in such times the Almighty is the source of all strength and courage which is required to face the hardships. At such junctures only we discover the God within, so in place of resenting tough times we must consider these to be an opportunity to come closer to our Divine Father and manifest the same externally as well, as Divine Realisation is not just a mechanical or technical practice for some selected moments or hours in exclusivity but, it is only in inclusivity when we let the Divinity reach down to our inner most core of being and seep down to every cell in our body, then, we materialse God within ourselves, all our thoughts, words, deeds become reflections of HIS presence and we become instruments of execution of the Divine Will and each moment of our life is lived in the true Spirit of Faith and Gratitude.

In life we always have the choice to either delight in the fruits of our courage or suffer the consequences of our cowardice. So,we should try to make the right choice with the best intentions while there’s still time as no one’s here forever and nothing is everlasting.

Whenever faced with people who disturb our inner peace, then such people and circumstances should be avoided at all costs as soon they will rob us of our own sense of well being. We owe this duty to ourselves, to preserve our health and happiness.

Make life an Epic and not just a series of episodes! We must never begin what we cannot take to a logical conclusion and never leave anything half done, whether begun by deliberation or destiny. It is either a commitment to ourselves or the Divine, either ways, we must fulfill it to the best of our ability.

Try not to make the same mistake twice. Simply said, we should learn from our mistakes and not repeat ourselves. Or else we will end up being a burden not just upon others but ourselves as well. Before, others learn to leave us behind we should learn to mend, improve and update ourselves.

ऊँ नमः शिवाय,

सारी बिगड़ी तू ही बनाए, जन्म-जन्म के पाप मिटाए,

इस जीवन को सफल कराए, जन्म-मरन के चक्र से मुक्ति दिलाए,

उसी के सारे दुख-दर्द नष्ट हो जाएं, जिस किसी को तू मिल जाए,

ऊँ नमः शिवाय।
