Ego, Power and Money are Temporary

Story of Sikander

Once when Sikander was returning from India for his country Unan, while on his way to Hindukush, he remembered that his Guru had requested him to get for him Ganga water, one book of Bhagwat Gita and one book of Ramayan and one flute from India. He told him that he also wanted to enjoy and feel the music of flute. He also told him to bring with honour a sanyasi from India as sanyasies are found only in India.
Sikander wanted to fulfill his Guru's wishes so he got gangajal, a book of Ramayan and Gita each and one flute for his Guru. Now he did not know from where to find a sanyasi? How to carry him to Unan? Sikander was bend on finding a sanyasi and was determined that he would take him to his country. He sent his soldiers to search for a sanyasi and bring him in front of him. His men found one fakir on the way and told him that he has bow to the order of their master and come with them to Unan. He agreed to meet their master, Sikander. Sikander requested him to come to their country and he would take him there with due respect.
The fakir laughed and said that you think you are greater than me. I do not find anything great in you. You look poor and cruel to me. You look like a beggar. Hearing this Sikander got very wild and removed his sword from the dagger. The fakir stopped him said “ Do not frighten me with your sword. The day I took sanyas I have surrendered to my Lord, nothing can deter me”.
Then Sanyasi asked Sikander “Think that you are amidst a desert, you lose your way, it is very hot and you feel thirsty but there is no sign of water, but I have a jug full of water, what would you do then?
Sikander replied that till now whatever riches I have I would give half of it you in exchange of glass of water. Fakir says if I do not agree to that? Sikander then said that I will give you entire property to get that water to quench my thirst. Fakir laughed a loud and said “Oh! I have not seen a beggar like you. How can your property at that moment be more precious than a glass of water. Think?
Sikander then requested him he would do anything to take him to Unan. Fakir refused to go with him. Sikander got frustrated and commanded his soldiers to tie him with a rope and capture him. He felt happy that he has won over the sanyasi and wanted to prove to the people in that locality that he can do anything with his powers as people over there had challenged that you cannot take sanyasi forcefully to your country. The people then told him to check if he is alive or dead. When the hakim(doctor) medically checked him he felt that he was breathless and there was no life in the fakir’s body. The fakir was listless so Sikander then threw him in the river as he could carry a dead man to his country. After sometimes when Sikander looked back to see him he was shocked to see the fakir walking at the bank of the river. He realized his mistake that you cannot control or capture the entire world.

Desires

Desires make you feeble and poor. It makes you a beggar. Because of these desires man bows in front of others and is ready to do anything to fulfill that desire. If there are less desires then there are less sorrows, less worries, less troubles, no dependence or slavery.
Therefore, minimize your desires. Reallocate your desires, rationalize and give priority to the once which are immediate and important, but be cautious as well, because these desires are the causes of sorrow in your life.

I, Your enemy

Remove that I from you. Till there is I nothing will work, neither any tirath,fasting, puja nor Samadhi or dhyan. Actually that I is the symbol of ignorance. I is evil. There are no obstacles but this I does not allow you to move ahead.
Between God and You this I is the only wall or a veil. Remove the veil and you get darshan of you God.

Dharam And Dhyan

You say you have everything. You have husband/Wife, you have children, a family, friends, money, status, house, honour and respect etc. but I say you have none.
After death none of them will be useful to you. Only your dhyan(meditation), your good or bad things earned now will be carried forward. Do not think you can escape from them. God has a record of all stored with him. You cannot bully or cheat him. Be honest and agree to the fact your dhyan and dharma towards humanity are your true friends, your true relatives. Pay attention to these two but you close your eyes towards them. Your are badly mistaken.

Wealth: Outside and Within

There is wealth in the outside world and there is wealth inside i.e. within your heart and soul. Which wealth would you prefer?
The wealth outside gives you worries, sleeplessness and restlessness whereas the wealth inside gives you peace and happiness and it soothes your soul.
The wealth outside gets divided, dwindles but the wealth inside gets multiplied, it doubles when shared with others. The riches from outside world are short-lived and the wealth collected from within your heart and soul is carried forward to your next birth.
You are always a beggar and under fear carrying the burden of outside wealth. You are a king and move fearlessly with the light weight of wealth from within. It is in abundance. The more you spend it gets added more. It never ends.
Search, discover and analyze the wealth within you. The true wealth lies there.

March Forward: The words of Saints and Gurus

Your inspirations should aspire high. Your aims and ambitions should be high. Your thinking should be high. Your target should be high. The four things i.e. Dharma, Arth, Kama and Moksh are yours.

Just do not pay too much heed to what others say that your destiny will pay you. Why wait for Destiny or Luck, Nature, God or Devta to give you. Luck or Destiny is lazy people’s thinking. Those who do not want to work hard to reach upto higher goals often leave to destiny.

You should have burning desire, there should of light of hope, there should be sense of reasoning and understanding, have patience. Then you get success in achieving your goal towards right direction.

Your Guru or Saint will always bless you for hard work. They will inspire and throw rays of success and bless you. They help you to lit light of hope in the dark moments of your life. They guide and encourage you to March Ahead and become prosperous. Just move forward fearlessly with the blessings of your Guru who is always with you. Have full faith in him.

What is The Truth

There is only one beauty in this world "To achieve true Peace" "To get real happiness". There is only one wealth which you can gain from this earth "To get True Love".

Those people are fortunate who have little peace, little love, little happiness in their life. Those who get a bit also of peace, love and happiness in their life are enriched and the beauty within radiates.
Their style of sitting, of talking, their behaviour pattern, their silence, their eyes, their hands indicate that they have achieved true sense of living. They become king. They become shenshas.

Ek Vichaar (One Thought)

Tears of love are full of prayers. There is an essence of prayer. There are a thousands of aartis and archanas. So many light of love glitter. There is just a feeling which cannot be expressed, which cannot be answered. It is tongue tied and only eyes can give explanations and expressions.
Eyes are the most sensitive part, most expressive part of humans.

Some omnipotent power touches your heart, some unknown finger plays on the wires of veena, some unseen rays bloom the lotus within you, some unseen beauty gives radiance to your look. Some music played by this power touches your heartbeats. Entire body feels the love of Lord which makes you feel like dancing and singing.

Power of Love

Power of Love is unique. This love is essential part of our life as like there is fragrance in the flowers and there is coolness in sandalwood.

There is a feeling of respect(shradha) in love. There is no reason to show your faithfulness when in love. Why there is love? Why have faith in love? There is no answer. It just happens. There are many things that just happen, there is no reason or answer to it.

Why the Sun rises in the morning only and why does it set in the evening? Why do flowers bloom? Why do birds chirp and sing? Why there is waterfall? Why do rivers flow? Why do Moon and Stars smile? Why do peacock dance? Why do trees shake? Why there is sound? Why there is light?

There is NO answer. There is NO reason. Why have faith in love? There is NO answer. Just feel it and surrender to Almighty and thank him to make us apart of his beautiful creation.

Remembrance of God

God's love is something to be hidden in your heart. But this deep and true love cannot be expressed to the world. It is to be remained confined to your Heart.

Lips tightly closed and nectar of God's love flowing within and with only single connection and there is continuous flow of nectar. The God who abides within, just one feel and one view of him while eating, while drinking, while sleeping, while awake, while walking, at every sphere and every moment of life there is same feeling of love. Totally immersed in his thoughts as though it should not be interrupted. This is most sweet feeling, it is very special, it is most delightful feeling of Atma, our Soul.

This very minute where you feel very close to God's love is like a holy water, Jeevan ka param ras.
Preserve it.

Almighty ! Everywhere you be with me. In my dreams, while I am awake, sometimes in light sometimes in darkness , in sunlight and sunset. Everything in nature reminds me of You, My Lord. In my Heart, within my Eyes to see the beauty of nature. All over I can have access to you. Everywhere in this universe, You the Creator be with me.

To Love God You Should Be Fully Prepared

This should not happen that it rains and you cannot collect water, it gets drained. You remain dry so be prepared. There should be feeling of acceptance, there should be thirst, there should be a feeling of restlessness. Have patience. Love glitters like a light in a lamp. It blossoms like a fragrance of a flower. If you are ready then be prepared for the nectar of love of Lord. Every part of body is enlightened. There is fragrance. You can achieve everything, you can win everything, you can be a king It all depends upon the size of the vessel. Your talent, your willingness, your desire and restlessness should be vast and deep to reach upto the expectations of the Almighty. It should have enough space so that God's love is showered like a rain and we are fully prepared to fill our vessel.

Seven Chakras

1. Muladhar - This chakra is lowest i.e.based only on bodily or physical needs. It is full of desires and vasanas. There is only lust.
2. Swadhishtan - In this chakra the attention is focused on mind besides physical look. There is feeling of love.
3. Manipur - Here our attention becomes more deeper. We switch to spiritual thinking. There is change in thoughts towards Atma.
4. Anahad - Above these three chakra, our attention is focused towards God. Sometimes people feel nearer to God.
5. Vishud -In this chakra the senses are more concentrating towards the Almighty. There is sudden feeling of God like a flash of light. When people reach this chakra, people get to see the Lord for a longer period of time.
6. Agya - The senses in this chakra are fully focused on God. There is complete and longer stability. Man becomes calm and silent. In this chakra people get miraculous power. Here people do not go towards lower chakras. They become steady, there is samadhi.
7. Sahastrar - This final or highest level chakra you see only God and only God. There is no sensation, no going back. People in this chakra feel that this world is a myth, it is not true. They feel there is only maya and moh in this world.

Person in muladhar chakra feels the world is true, it is everything because he does not believe in God but reverse is case in sahastrar chakra because here the base of everything that we enjoy in this earth is the Creator, our Almighty, The God.

Praying with folded hands i.e. joining both the hands means My Mind and Intellect are surrendered to You, The Almighty.

Layers of Dhyan(Concentration)

First layer of Dhyan is named Baikhri(Speech or to speak)
Second layer is called Madhyama(Thoughts or to think)
Third layer is Pashyanti(To see or to view)

First layer is to talk
Second layer is to think and
Third layer is to see
Fourth layer is called "Para". In fourth layer there is no talking, no thinking and no seeing.
In all the four layers abides our Atma (Soul)

We mostly live in the first layer like singing bhajan, devotional songs, prayer, kirtan, music etc.
Sometimes we reach upto the second layer of thinking(Vichar). We can hardly reach upto the layer of Seeing(Dekhna) and it is very, very difficult to reach at the fourth layer.

Do Not MIss The Chance of Dhyan(Concentration)

Sometimes sit near the sea, near a river and feel the waves, sit near a hilly area or under a shade of tree, some peaceful place. If that is not possible then at night after finishing your routine chores, sit alone in corner of your room, in your prayer room or on your bed and get immersed in dyan. Concentrate on some event or thing which soothes your senses or some scenery. Just brush aside all worldly thoughts that keep you worrying, close doors to all interruptive thoughts and ideas, stop thinking about past and present, just pay attention to the present moment. Get lost in dhyan. Practice this everyday for few minutes atleast. Try this experiment with full faith and belief.

Whenever you get time look at the beautiful stars that twinkle at night, feel the fragrance of blooming flowers, hear and enjoy the chirping of birds, beautiful garden, anything that gives pleasant feeling to your senses. Just pay attention for a little while and thank the Almighty who has made this world so beautiful for us. You will feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Aren't we responsible for destroying this nature's beauty for not paying attention and feeling it. Then we complain that we are tensed.

You Be The Judge

There is no need to ask others that the path which you are treading on is Right or Wrong.
You can view it, you can judge it and whenever you want you can test yourself.

If there is peace, contentment, happiness, enjoyment, there is feeling of nectar dripping in your mouth, some holy water you are drinking, you have gained or achieved something precious, you are rich in something , then you know your path is Right. Then you are lucky and happy, you move ahead and feel the greatness WITHIN you.

If there is a feeling of uneasiness, there is resistance and stiffness from within, there is pain, sorrow, restlessness, you feel some burden is put on your head, then that is NOT the Right Path.

Be careful, control yourself and check that Even though you have everything but there is still something wanting or some sort of emptiness, feeling of bitterness, there is something amiss.
Hold, Please change your direction earliest the possible, or else you will fall in the trap of severe depression. Then it will be too late because intentionally you have chosen this incorrect path.

YOU Only Be Mine

Everyday pray to God
To reduce your desires. These desires have made my life miserable, made me a beggar, made me feel sad. These desires have broken me into pieces.

Reasons for all sorrows, problems are these desires. If there are no desires, there is no sadness nor any problems. Therefore, Oh! My Lord eradicate this feeling of desires and wishes. They have made me restless.

Desires bring unwanted worries and unhappiness, restlessness and uneasiness. Please help me to get relief from unwanted desires. Give me such a life where I can live peacefully without desires, a life of heaven.

If there is any desire, it should be that of peace and satisfaction. Give me rest in your feet. My mind should not wander around in worldly things, it should remain with you. I need you and nothing else.

I Don't want any heaven, no kalp vraksh, no kamdhenu, nothing. Only one thing I need is to surrender to you with full faith and you have to fulfill that desire of Mine, like two people, when in love, surrender to each other This is the only desire Oh GOD ! THAT YOU ONLY BE MINE.
