Spirituality Information - Stop Talking About Other People!

Why is everyone not talking about you? Why is the world not interested in what you are doing? Why are you not being interviewed by the media like all the other famous personalities?" Four years back my ten year old nephew asked me this question. He was desperate to see me getting popular.

"I don't care about the world ! " I said. I lied. I did want to get popular. I did want to get interviewed. I wanted people to talk about me. But the fact was i was not doing anything interesting to be written about....

I was spending my precious talking about other famous personalities, about every other external event in the world. I was spending hours reading newspapers,surfing websites and had an opinion about every other person and event. I only thought about my goals and ambitions once a week !

However, I used to go to the temple daily and pray to God to fulfill my wishes.That day four years back when i went to the temple... I was in for a surprise. A clear,soft and powerful voice spoke to me and i have since then religiously followed every bit of it. Here is what i heard....

"Stop talking about other people." The voice was stern. It was as if God was whacking me." Your life is more precious than your opinion about the world. You have a dream, a goal and you have to nourish it,water it and take care of them very deligently. You have to grow a beautiful garden filled with the choicest of flowers in your mind. You have been given a great responsibility and you are accountable to me and not to anyone else... If you can do this all your wishes will be fulfilled. This would be your greatest gift to me. " The voice went on .....

I fulfill most of the wishes of the people. If they want a dream house, a beautiful car, a lovely wife, a nice husband, wonderful children... I bless them and grant them everything in due course of time. All these people want an increase in their standard of living and i fulfill their wishes. But there are very few people who are close to my heart. They come here to increase their quality of life. They know that an increase in the standard of living has nothing to do with the increase in the quality of their life.To these people I reveal all the hidden secrets of life... These people do not ask for anything .. They come here to pray and they want Me to set their goals, their ambitions, their plans. They want Me to enter into their mind and body and willingly i do... because they are committed to living a quality life and not so much bothered about the increase in their standard of living.... These people eventually end up many times richer than those who ask... Such are the ways of life my dear child... I am happy to give you a car, a house, and all that which you desire but I am more happy to grant you My vision, My dream of your role in this life..... "

I nailed those words in my mind from that point on ..... I worked on myself , in increasing the quality of my life. I became a serious student of life. I paid attention to every small thing i was doing.. The thoughts i was thinking, the language i was using, the words i was speaking, the articles i was reading, the channels i was watching, the food i was eating and slowly but surely i corrected each of them. The way i did it was I asked myself :

" Is there a better choice of words i can use ....

" Can i think about something more powerful than the thoughts that are coming to me...

Spirituality Information - I Was Once A Terrorist!

I have stopped talking about current events but yesterday's horrendous bomb blasts in mumbai made me write this. My heart bleeds for the families who lost their loved ones and those thousands of people who were injured in this inhuman act of terrorism... I can feel the pain... The moistness in those eyes... I get goosebumps when my son does not return on time from school. How about those families who had to wrap their loved ones in white cloth and bid them farewell from this world ! Which parent would welcome those cruel hands of God which bought their dead children home ! What if i told you that this tragic event and many others are the brainchild of your own mind? Would you accept it? You dare not reject it because i am going to prove that we all are a terrorist in the making....

Human beings by their very nature want either good or bad things to happen to them. Yes we all prefer good things to happen to us. But when we are not able to get all those things which we truly want we silently plot those crooked ideas, those mean acts, and sow the seeds for cowardly actions. At the backyard of your mind a devil works all day,all night planting those bombs of destruction which we are not conscious of. We carry those bombs of anger,pain,envy,greed, and destruction with us all day. We might not hatch ideas to blow trains and airplanes but everyday we water our stupid ideas, our mean and narrow thinking and cause many a damage and discord in every day life. We don't destroy life's but neither do we build one. Everyday every minute we want to put someone down. A billion people with a crooked mind whose desires are not fulfilled create the atmosphere for these terrorist acts. We have silently given permission to a terrorist mind. The only difference is you dont own that mind which bombed the trains and airplanes but you are as much a facilitator for the creation of that mind.

Human beings are nerds. They will never grow up. You have to understand that the invisible forces have more power, more command than the visible ones. Your hands and eyes are mere toys at the mercy of the highest force within you . I was once a terrorist i have to admit since i had all these crooked qualities. I am not surprised when bad events happen in the world because perhaps that is what everyone wants... and if you think you want only good events can I request permission from you to inspect the backyard of your mind please........

Show me a fertile mind where good events can be launched my dear friend. There exists very few... You can change the world by starting the process of building a fertile mind ... A billion fertile minds with honest intentions will force God to come and visit this earth. In truth God did not create the world. He became the world . As the "Upanishads" the great religious scripture says " He became knowledge and ignorance. He became truth and falsehood....

Wake up my dear friends and don't waste your time talking about these inhuman acts. Go and have another look at those seeds you have sown in your own backyard. You will find more cactus than roses....

I was once a terrorist..... No more now... Never again in the near future. I plant roses in my backyard so that twenty years later my dream of a beautiful garden is fulfilled....

The heavens beyond are great and wonderful but greater and more wonderful are the heavens within you. It is these Edens that await the divine worker....

Spirituality Information - All Your Actions Will Not Bear Any Fruit Unless

Can you stop the leap of the snake which intends to bite you?

Can you force the murderer who has come to kill you to drop the knife?

Can you stop the tsnumani from wrecking your house?

You might be surprised ,but the answer to all the above three questions is "Yes You can do it" . It might take a long time but i want to show you how it is done.....

I want to make one thing clear first . I have not attempted to do any of these three things stated above. However, i have applied the knowledge which i have gained thru deep insight and thru learning from great masters to similar events of a lower intensity and they have proved to be highly effective.

Before i reveal it all to you I would like to tell you of a real life incident which will help you understand this concept much better. It was in 1996 when i was in Pittsburgh,USA that i fell terribly ill. All the medicines which the doctors prescribed had failed. I went to every specialist but no one could identify my illness. I had high fever,severe vomiting and my weight was reducing by the day. It was terrible. I was admitted to the hospital at least half a dozen times. No doctor could locate the exact nature of the virus .... I came back to India half dead... My parents got me admitted to one of the best hospitals in Mumbai. However, In India it was still worse ... At the age of 24 I was going through the worst moments of my life.

Then suddenly everything changed for the better.... In walked the No 1 doctor of Mumbai. He was 69 at that time. He smiled at me ... I smiled back with whatever little energy i had.... "We will make you fit in two weeks time..." These were his exact words. Like a master at work ,he calmly went thru my medical history, asked a few questions, examined my body and then prescribed two tests and left...

Late evening the next day the doctor came back again and said "We have identified your illness and your medication will start tomorrow. You will be fine in a weeks time...." Within a week of taking those medicines i was back to normal. I had no fever and vomiting after a week. My parents were happy and i was relieved...

Three months of taking all the medicines prescribed by the world renowned doctors could not cure my illness... Finally the right diagnosis of the disease did the trick.....

What is the lesson for everyone here?

The No 1 lesson I learnt is "Action is the next step after Knowledge". It is not action that is important . . It is not the number of hours you work, or your honest commitment and energy which will help you get the things you really want.All these qualities are of very little use if you are not aware of your deepest intention, your innermost dreams. Like the doctors in my case you will be putting in your best efforts, your total commitment and energy and yet you would not achieve anything that you truly want and will remain unhappy. We pride ourselves for the number of hours we work everyday, of the focus and commitment we put in our work but we care very little for knowing our deepest and most genuine desires. We do not pay any attention to it. Think about it….When i use the word know, i mean those wants which stir your soul and not your small little selfish interests of seeking money and power....

The first step is in truly knowing. Taking action is simple. Action becomes stressful and frustrating when you do not know ..

You can get anything that you want only when you know what you truly want .

You can get out of any problem in your life if you can get to the root cause of the problem.

If you can go the source of the problem, the originator of destruction, the initial vibrations which forced a man to pick up the knife and murder you, or the snake to sting you or the tsunami to destroy your house, you can alter that decision and seek remedy... The force that that can propel a murderer to drop his knife, or a snake to lower its hood or a tsunami to mellow down is the same force that had enabled the doctor to diagnose the illness properly and cure it. It is only that the intensity of the force has to be much stronger to enable the murderer to drop his knife, or the snake to lower its hood. Your genuine intention and your deepest knowledge of the source of the problem will help you identify the hidden cause of the problem and thus resolve it....

You get only one second to act in all these three cases but if you had complete knowledge of the source of these problems your action might be significantly different and so yield positive results. It might take a decade or more to put these things to practise but the knowledge that you can solve any problem by going to the root cause of the problem remains intact be it diagnosing an illness or in eliminating the motive of a murderer or stopping a snake from biting you.....
