How to understand blog and Me, My Guru series especially

The Vedic philosophy has declared since eons the Universal Truths that man is not the body but the spirit that runs the body. We are the “consciousness’ – complete, blissful, Divine eternal and all knowing! 

If we are, that then how come we live a life of a ‘maggot’? Why do we feel oppressed, helpless, depressed, frightened and restless? That is because we are identifying ourselves with this body and the ‘karmic body’ of ours. This karmic body is the sum total of all our actions and inactions. In short, it is the one that carries the seed of our ‘karma’ (acts) and causes the wheels of fate go around. This body is also an energy field but a very limited energy when compared to ‘the Soul Energy’. We tap our needs from this limited energy field and suffer the limitations of this body and life.

We associate ourselves to this field because of our ‘ignorance’ of our real nature. As one drops his association with this ‘karmic body’ little by little and gets connected to ‘soul energy’ his access to energy increases and that reflects in his state of mind, clarity of thought, attitude and quality of life too!

                                           

If it is so good, then what holds us to this ‘karmic body’?

First of course is the ‘ignorance’!

                                                  

Next is the stupidity that reflects in our various addictions that we have. The addictions that our ‘karmic body’ holds are that of being selfish, greedy, fearful, angry and such nature that causes the turmoil within us as we experience them.

Today's miracle : 

The heat was killing me and now look the weather is so pleasant...

That is the good thing about both weather and life. Nothing remains same for ever. 

After heat comes showers. 

After success comes failure.

After wait comes fulfillment.

After receiving comes the disappointment.

After disappointment comes strength.

After morn comes night.

And after night comes morn.

How to understand blog and Me, My Guru series especially

For me, personally writing this blog especially Me, My Guru has been both very satisfying, exhilarating and a fulfilling journey and an experience. The way the characters evolved and the sequence flows is very interesting. 

The end in many of these stories is crisp, short and yet complete in itself. The end like a capsule encompasses the entire purpose of the story in itself. It is like an essence of that post! All it needs is just a para or sometimes just a sentence. Every character has evolved over the years. As character evolved, their attitude is replaced by new character. See this as a journey made by ‘I’ – the narrator of this story. I represents the sadhak who is on the journey of getting connected to his ‘real self’. You can see him slip many times. You can also see him have his moments of understandings. He experiences all the emotions, upheavals, struggles, pain and what not of a regular sadhak. He also beautifully portrays the weakness of a sadhan who understands but doesn’t put it to good use – most of the times! 

Like this the various shades and struggles of a sadhak are represented by the central character – the narrator of the story – “I”. since it is his journey all the experiences are reflection of his understanding, emotions, insights and also his misunderstandings. If the reader looks carefully at a given point of time, his emotions and state of mind are reflected through this ‘I’.

So, in short this is the story of each reader/sadhak as he goes through his journey of self discovery. It is the story that tells how when he faces his inner nature he reacts to them. It also reflects how he struggles to overcome his nature. It shows his little victories over his self and his transformation through clarity of thought that shines forth over the period of time.....

Today's Miracle :

I didn't receive any news that was personally disturbing or hurting me. 

Nothing good or exciting didn't happen. It was the boring routine. 

And yet I am happy. 

Nothing good happened, nothing bad happened either!

wow for the number of posts so far!

Wow! for the number of posts so far 

Last year the number of posts for the year was 174 and this year we have already touched 175. Good going i would say....

What is there to celebrate in it? Nothing if you see it from one angle.....

                                        

In fact, i can also choose to bring down the 'sense of achievement' by saying something like "but there are lots of comments and healings posts in here and that actually don't count or shouldn't count etc..."

The highly enthusiastic ones will say "don't bother about others maam, you wrote so many and that it self is wow for us"

Each unto his perception. Each unto his attitude.

                                                          

For me, it is neither a need for being 'optimistic' or 'boosting self esteem' by such thoughts or words........it is about celebrating life!

For me, life is lived in moments!

                   

And I have said so so many times. And again I repeat what I have said so many times "Life is not a set of events or string or achievements or possessions. Life is lived in moments. Happiness is experienced everytime you live 'that moment'. To make a moment we don't need a person, material, to get something, for something to turn out our way. 

Every moment has something to offer. We miss out on looking at those 'small packets of joy' that is on our path unasked and unworked for. 

This is my way of reminding you of seeing every mile stone that we cross in our life - they are milestones and every mile stone is worth celebrating for what it is! There are 'no' big or small milestones. They are just milestones. 



The day we realize it, accept it, live it we'll be happy and appreciate life for what it is!

We'll still be working for what we 'desire for' in our lives. But we'll not work out of 'lack of reason to celebrate'. We'll work towards our dreams and desires with a 'happy heart' that is filled with joy of having all that it needs and wants right now. The heart knows that 'this moment is complete'. It just wants to experience that completeness from an other angle viz. fulfillment of one more desire or dream. 

                                      

For the month of June HW is : Look for the 'moments worth celebrating' in your life and share it if you want to.

                                          

'These moments are your day to day moments' and can happen every single day multiple times too for each one of you.......
