Problems are like washing machines.

 

Problems are like washing machines

They twist us, spin us and knock us around but in the end we come out cleaner, brighter and better in the end!

As long as life is life will throw googly at us. (Googly is a kind of ball thrown in cricket. It doesn’t have a set rhythm). No one can predict or control the way things will shape up in life. That is said as “life throwing googly at us”.

If seen right, it also can be said that “Life is playing with us”. We are batting and it is bowling. Fun, isn’t it?

But, we end up crying, complaining, going into depression and everything else except enjoying this game. Why? Not because, it is sad or bad. Yes, what life does or how it does is not bad or sad. What life does or how life evolves is also not wrong.

The issue is we are not “good at batting” the balls that it throws at us. We are poor players. We want to sit idle in the field. But, how? just think!!

We don’t know how to handle the balls thrown at us. The day we learn to play right even if be just a few of the balls thrown at us, just imagine the joy, satisfaction and pride we feel – not to forget the fun element then.

That learning to play the balls right is all healing is about. That way of living is all there is to learn. Then, come what may, we will enjoy this game of life! We wouldn’t be depressed, hopeless or feel cornered by life/guru/Reiki or God.

So, you see, problems are like washing machines. They twist us, spin us and knock us around but in the end we come out cleaner, brighter and better in the end!

So let’s work towards becoming a better person rather than a bitter person at the end of this washing!

Come let’s heal ourselves enough to be able to play this game better.

Come let’s enjoy this life for what it offers.

Come let’s reclaim our worth!

Recipe for happiness!

 

Recipe for happiness!

Don’t make everything about YOU!

Stop seeing “What’s in that for ME?” always!

Don’t keep looking for excuses to make yourself “a victim”.

 

And then, just like that – you’ll have people appreciating you, liking you, being there for you. And even when you weren’t searching for it, “happiness is there for you”.

 

Such a simple recipe and yet, so difficult for all to follow and benefit!!??

 

I wonder why?

Let go to be peaceful and happy!

 

Let go to be peaceful and happy!

The cause of all evil is our desire to be superior to others and our selfishness!

The cause of all suffering is our desire to have it our way ONLY! The more we let go of our adamant nature the less we suffer!

The more we let go off of our controlling nature, the better is our relationships.

The more we let go off of the demand to have and lead a life “as per our imagination”, less are the  problems we have in life.

We are fixated in our tastes and preferences. Nothing wrong in that – until those very tastes and preferences become so important and big that we consider everything else happening and receiving in our life as “suffering”. Change this perspective and lo! There was never a problem.

And therefore, inspite of you looking to solve a problem you didn’t get a solution and there can be no solution given to a problem that never was!

My little steps towards enlightenment! My evening walk!

 

My little steps towards enlightenment!

My evening walk!

Today, it was very cloudy as I stepped out of the house to go for a walk!

But, I was ready for the walk!

Once decided it had to be done. I mean, isn’t this commitment all about?!

I looked at the sky. I looked at the watch.

I smelt the air. Yes! It would definitely rain – that was obvious– and that too very soon.

I would be stranded on the road if I ventured into my usual routine path.

I entered the lift.

I pressed the top floor.

I went on terrace and started my walk.

10, 15 minutes over and clouds were gathering fast. But, no problem. I just had to go down the lift. So, the rain didn’t bother me now.

I was all with the walk.

Cool breeze, dark sky, birds going back to their nests and chirping (omg, how much do they chirp?) – all these were soaked in by my senses. I found myself relaxed. I completed my quota of the walk and yet found myself fresh as a flower. I stood by and watched the sky. The view was beautiful. The breeze was relaxing. And then the drops of rain started pouring down in a great rush.

I had to rush down. But still, today’s walk was beautiful!

Yes, we can fulfill our commitment – come rain or sunshine if we CHOOSE to!

Glad, today I choose to!

Our duty towards our Nation and Earth!

 

Our duty towards our Nation and Earth!

 

“So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them! I call those men who strut about in their finery, having got all their money by grinding the poor, wretches, so long as they do not do anything for those two hundred million who are now no better than hungry savages!” – Swami Vivekananda.

దేశమంటే మట్టి కాదోయ్ 

దేశమంటే మనుష్యులోయ్ .... Sri Sri

“desamante matti kadoi desamante manushuloi” – Country doesn’t mean land or mud, it means people!

So, one who does for his fellow beings does it for the Country!

We all complain that our Country is going to dogs. We are angry, fearful and sad that the Mother Earth is going down the drain!

We COMPLAIN! We point fingers at others. We discuss and show our anger on politicians, businessmen and who not!

And yet, when it comes to doing “corrective measures” we have reasons to “not be able to do it”. And yet we believe and assume that we are “good people” who deserve good things in life!!??

Everyone can serve!

Everyone can contribute to making a difference!

Even without going out, each one, especially “sadhaks/Reiki channels” can contribute to the well-being of the Country and the World just by doing “Earth healing” – DAILY!

Any fool can come up with excuses to not be able to do “good things” and contribute something good for the others! But, it is within the power of each person to be able to contribute to the well-being of the World!

“Your choices decide whether You feel helpless or empowered!”

Grace healings!

 

Grace healings!

Sending Reiki to Swathi and Kshitija for 3 more days for healing the Earth on regular basis. 

This is further to comment https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2025/06/grace-healings-to-swathi-and-kshithija.html?showComment=1749233239611 

Now the million dollar question is "Grace healings" is already being sent to them for the said reason.

Now, again, why "EXTRA" again for them?

What did you understand from this?

How to keep the cycle of abundance going in our lives?

What is the mantra to attract abundance in our lives?

Where do we apply it and how?

What are the qualities required to receive it?

A walk to remember!

 

A walk to remember!

I took a walk!

A walk to remember!

There was traffic. There was noise. There was chaos all around. And yet, I felt silence.

There were people. There were vehicles all around – honking, buzzing, applying brake – but still, I was calm.

A walk – a very simple walk – walk with myself. A walk for myself. A walk to remember!

It was a reminder of a possibility – “There is peace that can be found even amongst the chaos.

We can tap into solitude even amid multitudes.

We can experience happiness even in the mundane routine of our busy lives.

A Walk is not an exercise. It is not something done with an end in view. It is an excuse and a way to connect with myself - every day of my life. And I love it!”

I liked it!

For it was a walk to remember!

Grace healings to Swathi and Kshithija

I will send reiki to both of you for next 3 days to come as a form of appreciation of you being in sadhan

And

For sharing the same with all!

Keep the heart healthy!

 

Keep the heart healthy!

The Heart is the only machine that works all through the years without break. Keep it happy – whether it is “yours” or “others”.

What makes the heart stop a beat?

What makes the heart bleed?

What makes the heart go fast?

What keeps the heart healthy?

Think about these and come back with your answers.

Then, come back with ways to keep it healthy.

Situations don't make or break us!

 

Situations don't make or break us!

Situations don't make or break us! Our response to them does!

Happiness, bliss and satisfaction are not related to situations in life!

They are dependent on our ‘attitudes’.

Situations are the facts of life. They arise based on our intent, desires and karma!

All that is based on our past actions.

But, our bliss and contentment are dependent totally on how we react or respond to what comes our way by way of our karma or destiny!

How we react or respond is the only thing which is in our hands!

We can be complaining in heaven??!!

Or we can be celebrating in hell!

Choice is ours to make!

And the choice depends on our attitudes.

And our attitudes are based on our psychic impressions.

And our psychic impressions impact our emotions.

And if we can work our those emotions of ours, we can create heaven wherever we are!

But, if we let our emotions and desires run amok, we end up living in hell however we are!

Think about it!
