This blog deals with self awareness under the light of knowledge. the knowledge would help us to drop the acquired self - ego and in the process we would be able to see our real divine self.

Reiki retreat!
This was a (I don't know what it was) suggestion/request/ idea worth implementing made by one of you....
"...... It's about reiki retreat just like a yoga retreat.
A place were people come for a week or so and do Reiki. A 7 day schedule can be fixed. Discourse , yoga , hands on reiki , different types of techniques, meditation etc can be included in it.
Mam is this concept of reiki retreat possible? Can we have something like this????...."
Want feedback on the same...want to know how others feel and what you all want (or most/some of you want).....please explain/ give answer clearly - not just yes. If yes suggest how you want that to be as and also why you want it in the first place...because we can't conduct one if we don't know the purpose behind such a retreat...and if the answer is no, well no need to explain anything there..it would be self explanatory....
also tell me what this 'yoga retreat' is about? what do they do there? how do they go about? and why is it conducted?

What birds teach us?
Me, My Guru
What is seen as ‘old-age homes’ is not bad if it is properly understood and applied. If children out of greed and selfishness push parents out of the house after usurping all their earnings, then it’s their bad karma and that is ‘Adharma’. But parents if (and they should by the way)understand and apply this time and opportunity to live within the means and in study of self and scriptures – away from the familial circles – nothing like it! It may sound harsh. But think when you want to pursue your spiritual need seriously, if not atleast after 60 years. Learn to ‘let go’ from birds. Only a person who knows when to ‘let go’ can be peaceful and happy”.
We had our much need tea break! God, that last one was a sixer. Most of us wanted our parents to listen to it and apply but following it personally – that seemed too demanding and far stretched. It looked good on paper but to apply it, well, we weren’t sure! Like many of her words we chose to ‘hear’ her words and not follow it later.
Later during our discussion, we decided we would take it slow and work on the first stage of ‘letting go’ with regards to kids. We would bring them up with utmost care, love and affection sharing the principles that we wish to look up to (yes, we look up to and not one that we lived, because it was easier to give them ‘right’ Ideals rather than be one. But just because we couldn’t live up to our principles, doesn’t mean we don’t pass it on to them. Who knows maybe they can raise their standards to our set principles). But all the while working on our
‘attachment’ to our expectations, hopes and conditions on them so that when they are ready to leave our ‘nests’ of love and support, we are able to ‘let go’ without any feeling of remorse, anger, hurt, disappointment, complaint and depression. Yes, we could do that right from today especially since we had our Reiki techniques to fall back on. This decision seemed to take a huge burden from our head. We were pleasantly glad with ourselves. We had a workable and achievable plan and action. We felt arrived! We seemed to have done work of a decade with just that decision. We deserved one more round of tea for certain. We left her place in peace. She really must be glad to have us as her students...we guessed – nay, I did......

Birds and Bhagawat Gita –
wow! Now that’s something I could never have come up with. But then that’s why I
was here and she was what she was – a Guru! Many of us had knowledge – atleast theoretical
in most of these worldly subjects that she quoted. But her words gained more
weightage and depth because she could connect them. We read, saw and understood
each topic topically but she was always connecting them and bringing about a
connectivity. And the application part – wow simply superb! Maybe that’s what spiritual
outlook is all about!
“Inspite of caring so deeply and 24/7 when ‘the time’ comes they just push their young ones out of nest. They teach them to be self-reliant and let them be too! They don’t use them as their ‘old age card’. That is ‘love’. To give all of oneself till the other needs and to send him out into the world to embrace life and its lessons with its experiences without thinking of self – that really is love and that love is lived and practiced by birds only!
Hinduism looks at every aspect of life and living and hence the code of living or Dharma as it is called as framed keeping in mind such factors. Hindu is to lead a materialistic life as a ‘Grihastha’ – house-holder from his 25th to 60th year only. Then he is to transfer all the responsibility of his family to his able sons and if wife willing take her along or otherwise go alone on ‘vanaprastha ashram’ – the life of living as a ‘ashramite’ – not in ashrams as of today's – with TVs, A/cs and loud-speakers. No! A place – a habitat in a forest which was inhabited by the ‘seers’ or Rishis and living only on natural foods and on minimum sustenance and instead of ‘passing time’ – after retirement, using it completely to the study of scriptures and self following various techniques of self-restraint. This way the age where physical abilities were getting weak, mental abilities was used to optimum by minimising the physical activities. This can be easily done when one used less of one’s energy for running from family function to another.

“Just look at the way these
birds build their nest. They use all things termed ‘waste’ and ‘useless’ and
construct their homes. No way have they harmed environment to build their
homes. They don’t go against nature. How thoughtful of them! Have you ever heard
every of bird creating pollution because of its construction activity? And we? The
less said the better. Their life epitomises ‘zero waste’ living and we?
Just look at the way they raise their young. They both center their lives on ‘the young’ all through. They go in search of food again and again to feed the young ones. The amount of food that they carry in their mouth is so little and so they need to go so many times. Yet, they do it with so much of commitment. No boredom, tiredness or need for break stops them. Learn to love so from them. The way mother bird stays at nest to hatch them and then protect them with no TV or Whatsapp to entertain it. Yet, it never complains. It never says ‘I lost my career because of these kids. I sacrificed my job for them’. The birds just play their roles to the ‘T’ without any show-off or showing any tantrum. They don’t post their good parents and happy family photos on FB. They don’t need certification from others about being ‘good parents’. They just ‘are’. If this is not unconditional love, what is?
If this not parenting is all about, what is?
If this is not being in the moment, what is?
Is this not about ‘doing your duty and leaving the rest to me’ quote of Krishna from Bhagawat Gita?

Freedom demands courage to take responsibility and only the brave embrace responsibility wholeheartedly and hence they deserve and enjoy freedom. But most of us feel freedom means ‘freedom from – work, being answerable, taking responsibility and someone out there ready to fulfill our every wish – said and unsaid at the drop of a hat even without raising a finger’.
“With greater freedom comes greater responsibility”. If only we knew this – and the minute we know it, we start crying. Complaining, hating the person who is not living up to our demands and expectations! And we are sorry for ourselves! We are cursed by our insecurities and laziness to a life of bondage. No one denies us freedom. Our attitude and actions drive it away from our lives” she concluded.
Few of the students surrounded
her and we were left alone with our thoughts. How often I had complained about
not being ‘given freedom’ when I actually shunned responsibility completely! I wanted
the ‘rights’ that came with freedom but the duties part seemed ‘atrocious and
demeaning’ to me. It felt like a punishment. I loved coming home late and being
answerable to none and always looked forward to staying alone. It also meant I didn’t
have to share my ‘earnings’ with others called ‘family’. The financial freedom
of that sort was so welcome. I hated having to earn for others at home. But it
also meant I had to take care of little nothings like ‘the daily chores’ all by
myself and I hated it. It was too over whelming.
Because I myself was not clear as to what I wanted of life, it always went for a ride. Now I knew where the problem was. I had to address my ‘desire’ completely and get to understand it clearly. Only then its materialization would give me fulfillment.

“Siberian cranes travel such long distances and for so long periods and yet – yet they are never late. They reach the ‘places’ of their habitat on time. They don’t have bio-metric punching machines, shouting bosses, nagging MIL’s, demanding spouse or strict Guru to point out that they are ‘late’ – yet they are on time” she was talking about cranes but I felt that was a jibe at me. Yes, I was late as usual. I really tried hard and yet I don’t know why I end up being late – even today! I simply went and sat silently, joining others. Suddenly I felt strong hatred for these cranes. Why did they have to migrate and that too so religiously every year – same time? Their nature was responsible for me to get mocked at today. I didn’t like them. Nice that they had to do so much of work.... I was still cursing them mentally as our Guru continued her explanation in physical world “We relate
freedom with birds. And always say ‘wish I was a bird, want to be free like a bird’. But have we ever looked at birds’ life closely. With its freedom comes greater responsibility of being ‘self-reliant’. It has to work for food every single day – be it rain or sunshine. It has no Sundays in its calendar and any festival or casual holidays. No vacationing too for it. It has to work every single day otherwise it and its family goes hungry and it can’t afford it as it can’t go to doctor and get vitamin tablets later”.
We all laughed. That scene was worth imagining. It was true. Since they didn’t have concept of ‘fridge’ or ‘bank’ they couldn’t save for the rainy day, so that later on a rainy day they could sit relax and enjoy mirchi bajji (favourite hot snack in India) with tea while listening to music. They never even know that such a luxury exists and yet – and yet we envied them. They were workaholics out of compulsion and yet never seemed sad or complained. They were fearless of tomorrow. We could come up with so many of points when she continued “They live each day. They never plan for tomorrow. They live for now and here. And that was the reason for the ‘energy’ of peace and freedom that they radiated.

on financial healing and abundance....
Everything is already taught in I and II degree class - both the causes and the ways to heal it...yet.......still I have written a lot on all of the subjects related to material well being and problems so many times...
but if you are lazy and can't look up to old blogs and always want me to look up to old blogs and give links too, then I am sorry to say it talks about very bad attitude - a very lazy one which is hidden behind the 'i am so poor, help me' veil....
Reiki is not for people who want to feel sorry, self pity, want others to take charge of their lives, or who want others to solve their problems.......this path is only for such of people who have had enough of depending on others (already explained in Guruji's story in I degree) and want to re-write their fate their way by way of 'sadhan' and Reiki is the way to do it....it gives various techniques and outlook to change that would help one gain his potential to the maximum........
no, i am not angry but just tired - mentally of facing this attitude since so long......
those who fall on some 'baba's' feet placing the money and ask him favours to overcome the issues of their lives - well, no point of being a Reiki Channel (or even a Reiki Master ) for that matter. No doubt such people are not able to do justice to being a Reiki Master too.....
others buck up, take charge of your life...it may take time to heal the situation you are in so what? How long you want to be a beggar going from one 'door' to the other? Depend on regular healing - remember all that you have achieved with healing till date. If you could do it then, you can do it now too...it took time to fulfill your previous wishes, you had patience then - then why not now? Be patient! Keep working on self - don't throw yourself at anyone's feet - You are lions - Divine souls capable of creating worlds of your own. Realize that and reclaim that potential of yours...it's all possible with your regular sadhan......just let time take its course.....
and stop crying.........

Instead
of getting angry at ‘what shouldn’t happen’ channelize your energies on ‘living
Hinduism’. What’s the use of talking Hinduism if I am not following it? It is
not able doing some mundane daily rituals like listening to some mantra, doing
harathi or performing some pooja or festival. Live the ‘Ideal’ of Hinduism -
that of character building. Only goal of Hinduism is ‘self realization’. If it
can’t be pursued for various reasons then walk on its path by working on
gaining such of qualities that prove that we are descendants of ‘some sage’ of
great ‘Tejas’. We don’t own our lineage or connect with some prophet or a
leader. We owe it to a sage who is realized and exhibits various powers that
‘self-constraint’ confers on to its practitioner.
Be
an example that people can’t brush aside but notice, and then Hinduism will
shine on its own. One Vivekananda is enough to shake entire western world. But
he was no ordinary man, “his was a character built over years of practice and
grace of his Guru”. Let’s be custodians of such exemplary character.
Regarding
protecting Hinduism – well, it has in-built protective shield to shield itself
from people who don’t deserve it – said various times in various Upanishads and
Vedas. So, be rest assured, the higher knowledge knows to protect itself from
‘asuric forces’. Its custodian is God Himself. It doesn’t need mortals like you
and me to protect it and hence we need not feel bad about it too.....
Whenever
evil forces become more rampant, He sees to it that they are annihilated
en-masse by various means and the pure and innocent are protected. Look into
history for its proof. Once this issue is viewed thus, I think pain, anger,
depression don’t happen as understanding takes over. And now I am only going
‘Inwards’ – the right and ultimate journey worth making – made only in
‘Hinduism’. While all religions talk of subjugating the external world,
Hinduism goes to the root cause – the mind and beyond. It gives step by step
procedure to befriend, train and then transcend mind to experience the expansiveness
of our ‘Reality’ – ‘The soul’ – that which we actually are!
Let’s
do that needful and leave the rest to the unruly kids to go about doing for a
while........

Next when his character develops empathy, compassion and viveka (power of discrimination) he looks at the concepts of religions. Here, he stops looking at followers and their conduct. He studies only the concepts and finds the similarity of various concepts in all religions. Here he is unifying various religions under the head of ‘concept’.
When his growth expands and he enters ‘intuitive zone’ of understanding, he steps into spiritual realms of ‘Reality’ where his various experiences and understanding that comes with knowing (this knowing cannot be had through books or discourses, but only through meditation) gives him power to love – love beyond boundaries and as it expands and encompasses all, it gradually breaks one boundary of understanding after the other. Here the expanse of his understanding increases as he looks at others more as ‘souls’ than as individuals with body and its attachments ( viz. Name, case, nationality, sex, religion etc).
This
is the first step in his journey of finding that ‘oneness’ among the ‘All that
is’ and here he no more bothers for what religion you follow for he has
experienced that each religion is just a step or a stage that is required in
the journey of the soul.
He
is sympathetic towards all and their flaws, frails and mistakes because he
knows they are required to reach where he is now. He hates none!
Does
it mean I don’t do anything seeing all this wrong happening?
Ofcourse
you do need to do a lot. But worry and getting anger are not in that list. As
already explained if I hate Muslim, I am born as one. (Read Brian Weiss’s Many
Lives, Many Maters). You become the object of your dislike or love as the case
may be. Remember all asuras merging into Vishnu because they kept hating him
all through.
Even
scientifically it’s been proved by west. One white woman gave birth to a black
boy and her husband (white) sued her. She had paternity test done and the DNA
matched. Doctors were stunned. Then they found that that lady had a photo of a
black man in her room regularly during her pregnancy period. So, it was proved
that whatever a person thinks of regularly and repeatedly becomes that. Read
story of Jada Bharath in my blog.

Why
does this happen and whose fault is it?
If
you look at the larger picture, may be nobody is at fault.
Why
it happens – every soul reincarnates in a certain circumstance to learn and
unlearn some quality – say love and hatred. Depending upon its past karma, it
is given few choices to make while choosing a life that it wishes to lead. This
life has circumstances that are conducive to the growth of ‘that particular
soul’. But whether that soul makes right choices or not once it incarnates is
questionable. It may or may not. If it makes wrong choices, again it is
counseled by higher energies after death and again given a set condition where
it can learn its lesson right this time. This continues till it has learnt its
lesson right. This is one school where you can’t choose not to learn
‘something’ out of choice. Every lesson is a must.
So
if I spend this life hating a Jew, I would be born as one next life and
vice-versa till I understand that all are basically one – both in terms of
matter (made up of five basic elements), emotions (have same as that of lust,
anger, greed, ego, envy and jealousy) and even in spirit we are one!
But
before this understanding we suffer various stages of differentiation.
So
you see a person who is barbaric, converting others either through force or
bribery or a fanatic assuming only the form that pleases him is ‘God’ and all
other forms are wrong belong to ‘souls’ who are in this journey as already
explained earlier. They are at the lower stage on spiritual path.
Imagine
spiritual growth to be a ladder where at the lowest is that person who finds
‘differentiation’ at its peak as he looks only at the physicality of religions
i.e., the rituals language etc of the religion.
When
the soul grows in character of openness and gives emphasis on the mental
aspect, then he looks at the mental aspect of the religion. He understand the
whys and how’s of various rituals of questioning with openness and not with
cynicism and becomes more aware that rituals of various paths have same purpose
then he respects a ritual for its
purpose and doesn’t judge it for how it is done.

Do
you see any of these ‘acts’ or ‘thoughts’ in Hinduism?
Remember
the story of Hiranyakashyap and Prahlad. Prahlad was tortured and sent to death
by his own father inspite of being his only child. Why? Because Prahlad did not
accept his father to be God and believed in God in the form of Vishnu.
Next,
let’s take case of Ravana. He was ‘Greatest of Shiva Bhaktha’ but did not
respect/recognise Vishnu even as God. Result – he hated Vishnu and gave trouble
to all his devotees. End – he met his death in the hands of a mortal Prince and
his army of monkeys and bears.
Both
represent the same nature of barbarism where a person assumes it his right to kill the other who doesn’t follow his faith.
“But
they were asuras”. Right! They were asuras and hence their nature is justified
by their act. Asura is not ‘a Hindu’. Asura is a person who has very little
spectrum of perception with regards to issues especially of religion and
ethics. For him might is right. And he believes in subjugating people,
plundering looting people, bringing about chaos, destruction wherever he goes.
Asura is one whose definition of happiness is “What I benefit is of no
importance to me. It is enough if it hurts or harms you”. If this is the
principle that governs a person he is called an ‘asura’ and they didn’t vanish
after ‘Treta Yuga’. They are just as normal as you and me. Whenever I revel in
sadistic pleasure, asura in me raises and each time I live and sacrifice for
the other, I sympathise with the other I let the ‘divine’ in me express
himself. Now a person who lets his ‘demonic’ nature act and express itself
number of times, becomes an epitome of asuric qualities over the period of
time. The religion just helps him to express that nature of him without feeling
guilty of his act or intention or in other words, he uses religion to express
his nature.

Christianity : This is little
older and is 2000 years old and in actuality isn’t a religion on its own just
as Islam. Jesus himself was a Jew just as Buddha and Mahaveera were Hindu
Kshatriya Princes. Jesus revolted against rituals followed in the churches by
Jewish Rabbi and questioned them on the purity of their intent. He said mere
physicality wasn’t enough of a prayer but one needed to surrender one’s will completely to God to drink of His Grace and become His vehicle and thereby
inherit the kingdom of God.
Treating all as self is the
‘concept of non-duality’ of Hinduism. So, he never taught killing. Yet all the
genocide of Jews happened in the name of Jesus. He preached right. The
followers were at fault. They couldn’t love enough. They killed ‘the embodiment
of love on cross’ and once done with him, they had to divert the hatred within
themselves somewhere and so they used it in the name of their religion to
slaughter all whom they thought were inferior to them.
But
if you look into mystics in this religion, say St.Francis of Assisi or
St.Theresa – their spiritual ecstasy, experiences, way of life and sayings
correlate with mystics of any other religion.

I am just giving part of the conversation which had the following concern:
"I have no issues with other religions but I am really bothered about following and always voice my concern :
1. Conversions to Christianity
2. Conversions to Islam
3. Conversions to any other religion and even within Hinduism conversion to a certain cult from the other cult....
When I replied to this question I thought this question was something that many had and have and thought it good to address it to all now...since I felt you too are ready to receive this answer......may be I have said a 'lot' in 'too little words' that may seem 'little difficult to understand'...if you find it so...please ask and get it clarified instead of assuming something which I didn't mean...again let me clarify I will not repeat what is told in Karuna and other higher degree classes...what is not usually told in all classes (I mean what is not the usual syllabi of any of higher degree) only that part I will explain here....
Let’s look at Islam : It’s
youngest of religions dating just
1200yrs and its origin is traced to its prophet – Mohammed. When you try to judge or understand a religion, it is imperative that you look into its origin geographically too! it started in ‘Arab world’ – a world of nomadic tribes with their barbaric views and way of living. A man who becomes ‘Messiah’ of such a group can give a religion that fits their life-style and helps them in pursue of their endeavour and ideologies only. These people knew not mercy, love, compassion or forgiveness. Their religion was to loot, plunder, subjugate and to cater to their base instincts. From this background, came a religion which gave a code of
do’s and don’ts to be blindly followed by its followers. This was so suited for those tribes who were not ‘thinking men’. ( I am not going into the details of this religion, its start etc assuming you know about it). Then what is surprising to observe that one of their ‘religious rules’ is to kill everyone who is not a ‘Muslim’. And to give it a religious touch to this barbaric act was a word attributed which made this ‘mass killing’ dear to their God – Allah’ and thereby sanctioned them direct entry to heaven.

This being fact did all
Muslims follow this path?
Few mystics who were
influenced with Vedic philosophy saw a different meaning to the same words that
Islam stood for. For eg: ‘Allah is the Only God’ – Allah-o-Akbar.
If Allah be the only God then
he created whole of humanity and no father would want one child to kill the
other. This, these mystics realized by going within and ‘Realizing self’ which
is the basis of Vedic philosophy and then out of sheer ecstasy these mystics
danced singing ‘tu hi tu hai harsoo’ meaning you are everywhere. Every sufi
poet saint be it Rumi, Amir Khusrou, Baba bulleshah and others talked about “He
being everything and permeating everything. There is none other than Him”. This
is the ‘ultimate Truth of Vedic and Advaitic Philosophy’ which was lived,
taught, experienced thousands of years before Mohammed was born or for that
matter Islam was conceived or revelation happened to Mohammed. And

On judging others!
The problem with judgement is we judge others based on what we can do and can't do, on what we are and we are not....
we don't judge others for what they are....
we don't know to judge others and hence come to wrong conclusion and based on that wrong conclusion take decision and that end up being wrong......
so simply....stop judging.....keep things simple........and live peacefully ....

On healing and happiness!
At the end of the day, the entire healing process and procedures boil down to just this - removal of 'I' and 'Want - the desire'.
The day we realize this, accept this and smile, we realize we are....then we stop trying to do or become something to be happy, contended, successful et like....
then all we do is
JUST BE!

On Healing
On Healing - its need and techniques
Contd..........
Abilities you need to develop
are:
1.The entire essence of Vedas
can be summed up in two words “See, Listen”
2.Be still and know I am God!
Just Be!
3.Just Drop!
4.Faith and patience!
5.Discipline.
Attitudes that you need to
drop completely and develop without fail are:
1.Stop judging
2.Stop justifying
3.Fear is the greatest and the
mother of all sins
4.Heights of stupidity – not
having life-style, habits and food tastes that are good for healthy body.
5.only thing worth developing
right from school – CONCENTRATION. Your level of concentration decides your
ease of work and levels of success in any field you choose!
6.practice Silence!
Both physical and mental...
7.Cheerfulness
(I’ve written multiple posts
to just stress the importance of all the above abilities and attitudes and way
to work on them. As I’ve explained most of these topics umpteen times, I did
not venture to explain much about them and hence presume them to be clear. If
not, please seek clarification)
Sorry dear, you wanted ‘one
word answer’ and I give you essay answer. But at lower stages of spiritual
journey when we are blown at will by our mind, we need as many remainders and
techniques to be on the track. But be relaxed it is not so throughout the
journey. It is similar to a pyramid. It keeps reducing as agitation of mind
reduces and ultimately it narrows down to ‘Meditation’ or ‘Look within’. But at
lower levels what with so much pain, anger and confusion only meditation can
not give results what all these put together give! (But then even in meditation, the techniques are many depending upon the need of the hour and the purpose for which it is done. May be sometime in future I may take class to teach various methods of meditation - different levels. And no it is not for people who are interested in gaining something of this world. That class would be ONLY useful to those who are interested in losing what they have, not in gaining anything more. And since that type of people would be bit rare to come across, so..........)
When external forces don’t or
hardly have any effect on our psyche then ONLY ‘Meditate’ will do. But then
even that is only a technique not the end by itself. Ultimately, soul has to
outgrow even this stage, drops even this technique when he ‘Realizes Self’ and
becomes ‘One with All That Is’. Then as he becomes one with all, what is that
he has to heal, what is to know and what is to achieve?
Then this journey
ends........and the next level journey starts......
