Reflections - Life, a puzzle?

Reflections - Life, a puzzle?

Now, with this understanding when I look back at life, then the way things worked out gets a new perspective altogether. Now, everything seems to be ‘right’. It may have been painful, uncomfortable, displeasing, and not to my liking and yet it was the ‘right thing’ that happened. Because now I see ‘the big picture’ emerging.

If this be the case of the past, is it not the same with the present too? Whatever I am undergoing – though painful and not to my expectation, would it not be right for the future to unfold itself? So, life and its situations are just about unfolding itself, layer by layer, bit by bit in time so that the ‘picture’ forms itself on its own – in time!

So, you see, it was never about me!!! It was always about the big picture. Now, from this perspective when I view things of the past and of the present, ‘whatever happens, it’s right’ is understood well!

So, does that goes to say that "Life is a puzzle, unravel it?" right???

Get back with your feedback!!!

the question you have is answered in one of these links.......go find them....

Questions addressed and points made:

• Life can be lived forwards and understood backwards only....
• Life may not make sense while it is happening but at a later day, most of the things find an explanation to validate their happening......
• Life is beautiful even when not understood.
• Live life, let understanding to God or the Creator.
• To understand we need to have basic qualifications of having overgrown few of our traits like hatred, ego, doubt, laziness, selfishness, manipulative nature and so on. We also need to develop few of the essential qualities like love (that is pure and selfless), selflessness, purity, honesty, commitment, discipline, faith, patience and so on.....
• Let's first work on gaining the qualities required and losing qualities harmful for us and then understanding will happen on its own.....
• Why is this thing happening/not happening in my life?

Reflections - Life, a puzzle?

 

Reflections - Life, a puzzle?

The other day, I happened to be at a wedding. So many of my schoolmates attended. Everyone was happy to see each other. There was cheer in the air. And I, was looking at all of this from a distance! (not physically but mentally!)

There were the same friends who as kids I thought would be ‘together for life’. We still meet occasionally – but that’s not it – right? So, in spite of ‘assuming’ and ‘wanting’ things to go our way, it doesn’t – right? In this example, we are not able to continue ‘being with our friends for life!

People go out and a ‘new set’ of people come in. we shift places. We change jobs. Our environment changes. Our circle of people changes. Even the relatives we once considered close grow apart. And the ones we didn’t think much of come closer to us.

When I saw all this, it felt as if I was watching ‘a giant puzzle’ in motion. Pieces getting shifted continuously till the final picture comes together! Wow! So beautiful, subtle, simple, and yet profound!

On continuing Shivarathri

 

On continuing Shivarathri

https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2023/02/on-shivarathri.html

Those of you who couldn't do sadhan yesterday for what so ever the reasons, do it today....

Those of you who did, do it again today.......

let's flow with the flow, it is easy and more effective....

Today being Sunday, day after Shivarathri, which is rare, let's not waste it.......

tomorrow share your experiences......

On Shivarathri

On Shivarathri

Today being Shivarathri let’s do sadhan of every kind – depending upon the time and interest available….

Follow the list as much as you can to make good use of today’s speciality:

a.Do every kind of meditation you have learnt in various degrees of Reiki class.

b.Do homam

c.Do re-birth meditation

d.Do Vastu healing

e.Do any or all of your intention healing

f.Do relationship healings required for your life situation

g.Do navagraha healing

h.Do soul healing for just one person in your life

i.Do financial healing

j.Do japam – just MM or OM NAMAHA SHIVAYA AT LEAST ONE MALA

k.Do earth healing

 

Anyone who is able to do even 5 of the above, you are done for the day….relax….you have done good….

Those of you who wish to be awake the whole or partial night, do the same at that time…

Shiva is not an idol. Shiva is not a figure who lives somewhere. Shiva is a state of existence that one can experience only when one is calm, silent, pure and desireless from within! Let's search for 'that Shiva' within by healing ourselves....let's collect our broken pieces so that we can experience what it is to be whole....

May your healing bring you closer to your REAL SELF!

On fasting!

 

On fasting!

If I don’t eat but all I can think of is ‘food’, does that count as fasting?

What does fasting actually mean?

“To be awake the whole night?!” – what does being awake the whole night actually mean?

Watching some films – may be mythological yet if watching a movie is to be ‘awake’ on a festival day, then we need to do some real thinking here….

Forgive!

 

Forgive!

Forgive, for you love yourself more than your ego!

Forgive, for you owe yourself some peace!

Forgive, for the other who is wrong doesn’t deserve space in your mind!

Forgive, for the energy spent on the person who has wronged you, you are losing your energy to build your life the way you wish!!!

Forgiveness is not so much about the other. It is not about the person who has wronged. It is for the ‘one who is forgiving’. It releases the one who forgives from the negativity that is binding the one who is holding on to anger/grudge/complaint/suffering……So, move on and forgive!

Only you have the power to give yourself the peace that comes with it…..

On being aligned!

 

On being aligned!

Take it slow and give your mind time to catch up with your body!       

Take it slow and give your soul time to catch up with your mind!

And thus, making it possible for your soul to catch up with your body!!!

Body, mind and soul – all three are yours! If each part of you is going in a different direction, pray, how can you reach your goal? How do you expect to be happy?

Imagine, your tire, steering and engine – all are moving in different directions, do you really see your car going anywhere? Do you see it serving its purpose? Now, replace the car with your body!

Need I say more?

Morning Sun!

 

Morning Sun!

Just look at the hues the sky throws early mornings – what a splash of red, yellow and orange! 

Just partake of this heavenly wonder atleast just for a day…may be you can’t wake up so early – do get up at around 5.30am – look at the sky for couple of minutes and go to sleep – no issues….but don’t miss out on this wonder…it’s beautiful. The reason being the change of season. 

It’s to pass very soon……enjoy while it lasts!!!        

         

On Attitude!

 

On Attitude!

Change your attitude and lo! Your problem has become an opportunity!!!

Change your attitude and lo! The person you hate becomes your teacher!!!

Change your attitude and lo! The bad time becomes your biggest stepping stone!!!

Change your attitude and lo! You can turn your frown into a smile!!!

Change your attitude and lo! Rainy day looks romantic!!!

Change your attitude and lo! The jeers you hear will sound as your greatest motivational speeches!!!

Change your attitude and lo! The problem you have been staring at for so long gives back a solution.

Agreed problems don’t go away with a change in attitude. But, to find solutions, change is imperative. Agreed situations don’t change with a change in attitude. But, change is possible only with a change in attitude!

Think about it!

Question time:

How many times have you found that the change in attitude has benefitted you?

did you change for better?

Did it benefit you or harm you and your life in any way?

Clarification : As per the previous post to 'be grateful for 3 days' -yes, you can be grateful for anything in your life - but this exercise is just to be grateful on a day-to-day basis on these three days i.e., each day whatever you are grateful for about that day you will share and jot down in your journal.

 

 

 

        

On being grateful – just for 3 days!

 

On being grateful – just for 3 days!

Just for next 3 days let’s list out things for which we are grateful!

You need not share all of the list with us – even just a couple of them would do. But in your Reiki diary jot down all of them.

Just for 3 days to come!

# on being grateful, on gratitude, saying thanks, feeling the abundance, validating all that we possess, being aware,

Look within!

 

Look within!

Why do I get the feeling that you already have all the answers?

And that, you are wanting to hear the same answers and solutions from me today?

But, when you already have all the cards in your hand, why look any further?

Nobody in this world or above can know you more than your own heart! And if it has answers and solutions for you, then it can never be wrong!

Nobody can know what you want more than your heart. Nobody can want ‘good’ for you more than your heart.

Listen to your heart. Follow your heart. And trust me on this. You are in safe hands – for once!

So, if it is saying ‘Trust it’.

Go with it. Make it your ‘Guru’ for the day! Let it guide you.

Be relaxed and put your jitters in your stomach, fear, tension and all that out of window and follow your heart.

Trust me on this, you fill land safe.

# listen to your heart, be a guru unto yourself, guru, miracles, on listening, Universe talks to you, on God, being available, ask and it shall be given, seek and it shall be shown,

It’s love, love and love – all along!

 

Contd....

It’s love, love and love – all along!

And it takes janmas to learn to do it right in every way and in every single angle. Just loving in right direction is not enough, even the right dosage should be right. And therein lies the scope and need of healing. Therein is reflected ‘clarity of thought’. Therein is our growth reflected.

We can love anyone and everyone. But knowing to love right is the ‘tough art’. For eg. I may love my mom or kid for all I care. But if my love doesn’t know to draw a line of ‘self-protect’ then my love becomes ‘harmful’ for me. Inspire of my love being selfless, it remains harmful for me. So, I need to learn to be selfless and all giving in love for others. At the same time, I also need to protect myself of any harm whatsoever in this deal. Then it is said that I know to ‘love right’. That is the whole purpose of every situation and relationship in our live - To learn to love right!

To change the flavour of this a little and add that flavour more till we hit upon the right taste of it!!! Life is all about learning and living it! Love is all we need!

Life is all about love only!

And what a beautiful scenario it is – we are given everything every second of lives just to learn, embrace, accept and experience love in all its shades!

Happy loving!
