Maarne waale se bachchane wala badaa hai!

 

Maarne waale se bachchane wala badaa hai!

 

What do you understand from this statement?

“Maarne waale se bachchane wala badaa hai!” – What do you do with this statement?

What is supposed to tell you?

Where are you to use it?

How can it help you tide over your rough and tough times?

First, let’s understand the literal meaning of this statement – “The Saviour is much greater than the one who is trying to kill you!”

Isn’t it one of the most beautiful statements to carry with us every day of our lives?

So, for that, we should first understand what it means.

The Saviour is the God/Reiki/Guru/Universe.

And who is the one who is trying to kill us? 

You can place anyone and everyone under this head.

It can mean the person who is trying to kill you – maybe not physically but emotionally or psychologically.

It can also mean the person who is trying to bring about your downfall financially. Maybe, it is about the person who is trying to malign your character and bring about your downfall in everyone’s eyes by spreading lies about you. He is trying to kill you and your image in everyone’s eyes and also in your own eyes. He is trying to kill your confidence. He is thus disturbing your emotions and killing your connection with your soul.

Points to understand and questions answered:

• Toxic people will be found in everyone's life - well, almost! There is nothing to worry about them. 
• Instead of looking at them and thinking about them, divert all your attention towards God/Reiki/Universe.
• People and things of this World will finally mean nothing in the end. The only thing that comes with you is "how much you have connected yourself with God in all your life" - So work on the ONLY thing that matters and breeze through events and people of this life - singing with joy and dancing in the name of God!
• When we try to solve everything with "OUR POWER" that is ego and that is limited. And so, we fail or fear failure. Let us do the needful but trust God to run our life. Then see things sort themselves out - at the right time the right way!

Me, My Guru – On Narada and Vishnu – The Greatest devotee of all!

He is not doing it to salvage his self-esteem. And that my dear are the qualities of any good bhaktha (devotee). He doesn’t expect anything in return. He doesn’t keep count. He is not doing it to please anyone. Sadhan is a way of life for him. Sadhan is a way of showing his gratitude and love towards the Lord! Sadhan is the way he gets connected to the Lord.

Sadhan is the way he keeps himself connected to me. And in this case, by uttering my name now and then he remembers to be connected to me! And if that is not bhakti, pray tell me what is. Tell me is this not the purpose of bhakthi or any sadhan for that matter?”

Narada received his answer in silence. His pride of being “The Lord’s greatest devotee” was broken that day! Thus, he became more closer to the Lord. Our pride of being in sadhan also can be detrimental to our consciousness.”

Grace healings for Swathi and Kshitija – for expression gratitude the right way!

 

Grace healings for Swathi and Kshitija – for expressing gratitude the right way!

 

Swathi and Kshitija didn’t just say the usual “empty words of gratitude – thankyou Guruji, thankyou reiki” as a form of gratitude.

They were pro-active and did the needful in some form – “https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2024/04/penny-day-target-for-year-2024-starting.html?showComment=1714718954927 

and

https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2024/04/grace-healings-swathi-and-bhanu.html?showComment=1714212741129…” they healed the Earth!

They didn’t take “grace healing (Swathi) and financial abundance (Kshitija) as their right. They didn’t feel entitled to receive it! They realized they needed to share the abundance they received with others and what better way than to share it with Mother Earth! (though this is not the only way!)

There are so many ways you can show gratitude (if there is and if that gratitude is genuine!!). One of the ways is to do Earth Healing! And for overcoming that nature (at least this once), I am showing my appreciation by sending these both kids “Grace Healings” for the next 3 days!

So you see, as one gives he receives! And then he gives out of gratitude and he receives yet again and more too! And the cycle continues! This is the “Cycle of abundance”. This is the “Cycle of returns”!

Anyone reading these posts on “Grace Healings” will (I hope I am clear in explaining how one becomes eligible to receive Grace healings!) understand how to work for it. One will know how to become eligible for Grace from the divine too! It’s all about being honest, genuine in the right direction. No need to market your goodness. If your intent is right, it will be noticed even in small acts and the same will be rewarded in the way “Universe/Reiki” decides to bless (here you can demand the grace to come in the certain way).

Come let’s become eligible to receive Grace by developing the required qualities and expressing them!

Let’s forget about crying and begging for grace!

Let’s not pick the nitbits from the ground!

Let’s receive our due by way of rewards, not as some alms!!!

# healing self, healing others, gratitude, love, giving and receiving, abundance, breaking the vicious cycle of poverty

Questions addressed and points to take note of:

• How to break the vicious cycle of poverty - be it physical, material, emotional, spiritual or character?
• How to keep the wheel of fortune going in our favour?
• How receiving is connected to giving?
• Why do we receive what we receive?
• How to change what we receive?
• How to express gratitude, affection and love?
• Treat others as you would want to be treated. Would you be happy and contended with empty words of gratitude by your family, friends and Company? What do you expect from them? Do you express your gratitude the same way you expect it to be shown?

Time to rest!

 

Time to rest!

When is it time to rest?

When your body, mind and spirit seem to give up, know it's time to rest. 

If you go on even when the entire system says "I can't" you may never reach where you are struggling to go. STOP is the sign you must read and follow. 

It's OK to rest for in rest you calm your nerves and a calmer mind sees the solution that is right in front of us.

A person desperate for things to go his way will only lose the people he has in life now. He also messes up the energies in such a way that he creates more hurdles in the path of his desire-fulfillment. 

Doing nothing is so far away from Being Still. Being still is being restful. Know the difference! And act accordingly to get the right results. 

Now, what does resting mean if not lazing around through the day? 

Because Swami Rama says "Intense work is rest".

Resting is not about physically lazing around or hopping on to some exotic place in the name of a break or vacation. No, it is far from it. 

Rest is for the mind. Rest for the emotions. Rest is stilling our inner chatter. And that rest when given, the person gets connected to the 'soul consciousness' and that gives energy worth 'hundreds of elephants'. Then that person can accomplish many things of this World effortlessly and in no time. 

Just look at Lord Buddha, Adi Shankaracharya, Jesus and many such stalwarts. They disappeared from the World for quite some time. 

Lord Buddha went away to meditate for 6 long years to become enlightened. 

Jesus left home around 13-14 years and came back only when he was around 30 years of age.

Everyone goes within and takes so many years to get connected to the soul. Then all the work they did was monumental. Jesus Christ preached for just 3 years and look all around you - that is the impact of work well done! People after 2000 years of his leaving his mortal body are also ready to forgo everything in his name!

Adi Shankaracharya left his body at 33 years of age. And yet, no one could touch anywhere near his body of work to date. 

We can't go to some mountain or forest and lose our 10-20 years of life. But, we all can take 10-15 days of rest - that is, being in complete sadhan for a said period and gain from it - periodically!

So take time to go into intense sadhan from time to time to rejuvenate yourself. Do it to become fresh from within to have a better and fresh perspective. Do this to gain energy to do much work effortlessly!

Points to ponder:

• When nothing seems to work, take a break!
• When things don't seem to work, take a break!
• Take a break is not about taking a vacation, it is taking break from running around things and how people and things should happen in your life.
• Take a break of running around this World. Take time to visit yourself. Take time to still your mind!

A welcome miracle! Sighting a sparrow!

 

A welcome miracle! Sighting a sparrow!

Saw a sparrow yesterday near the main gate!!!

Wow! What a wonder! What a beauty! And what a sight!

For the past many years, sighting a sparrow has become a rarity. It is a very small and cute bird. It chirps its heart out. Wow, how much it talks! And at what speed?

Well, those who don’t like birds or don’t find this talk good or interesting enough – let me tell you one “important fact” that relates to your health and well-being. 

Sparrows are directly connected to air pollution!!!

Yes, many years ago, they were found in hundreds. But, for the past many years, they are not to be seen. And the levels of pollution are something that you all are aware of! All thanks to our pollution – that you and I are responsible for. Yes, we with our needs and wants have created a “demand” for things that are causing all this pollution.        

But, when a sparrow is sighted, it means the air quality has improved in that area. And that my dear is good news to you and me and also to our next generation. We always think of giving or leaving behind only money and assets to our children in the name of love. But, have you wondered what quality of the world we are leaving behind for them?

So, seeing a sparrow is a good sight in that sense – too!

Keep doing “homam” to heal air pollution and see such “nature’s barometer” showing you “good news” from time to time.

Healing the Earth will also make an impact in this area!

So, those who have understood will not stop at understanding it on paper but will put some USEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE ACTION in this area and for this end!

All the best!

Receiving Rama in our lives!

 

Receiving Rama in our lives!

Last few days had been euphoric for the believers and followers of ‘Sanatana Dharma’. The construction of Ram Lalla Temple in Ayodhya gave ‘the pride’ in being a follower of the path that believes:

a.     There is only one God referred usually as ‘Brahman’.

b.   
  “Everything that is” is pervaded by HIM alone.

c.      The “Is ness” of every particle of this Universe is Brahman. And that “is ness” is what we worship when we choose a form to reach the “Unmanifested Brahman”.

d.     That all humans are equal.

e.     We all are connected and related – “Vasudhika kutumbakam”.

f.       The journey of every individual is eternal and is gradually pushing him towards his ‘spiritually better’ self!

g.    We are not humans having spiritual experiences. But, we are spiritual beings – an atman (loosely translated as soul) having human experiences.

h.     We are here to experience our ‘real nature’ through our human interactions.

i.      When we hurt the other, we hurt ourselves and when we lift the other we lift ourselves.

j.        Realization of our real self – called “moksha” or “Enlightenment” is the sole purpose of human life.

k.    Uphold the Dharma and it will uphold you.

 With this understanding what RAMA actually means is beautifully expressed by Saint Kabir:

Reflections – on celebrating being alone!

Reflections – on celebrating being alone!

So, the point here is, that we may end up being alone for some reason at some point in time. We can make it our ‘miserable time’ or ‘time to be with self’. We always complain that ‘we adjust’ because of others in our family. Use such times to ‘live life without adjustment’. Live such times with right perspective and these periods can end up being – rejuvenating, claiming and beneficial for our well-being. We can use it to know ourselves and get connected to self. We can enjoy the silence that comes with staying alone! We can fix our timetable wholly as per our wish and comfort. Benefits are many – for those who view it as a ‘me time’. Now, people are spending huge amounts to get detoxed through ‘me-time’ or ‘alone time’ vacays.

We are getting all that free of cost. We too can get that benefit if we choose to!

Loneliness or alone time – it’s all in the perception.

Tanhaee mein rahane mein aur tanha rahane mein faraq hai. Mein tanhaee ke saath rahata hoon.

There is a big difference between being alone and living in solitude. I live with myself. I want to live alone! And hence know that ‘solitude is bliss’.

Question time:

What did you find here today?

What is your take on this post?

Did you find the solution to your problem?

Did you find the answer to your question?

Is it applicable to your life? If yes, how?

Have you ever applied it in your life? What happened? Did it benefit you or hurt you?

Teachers everywhere – On stopped clock!

 

Teachers everywhere – On stopped clock! 

This explanation is in continuation of the post https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2023/09/teachers-everywhere-on-stopped-clock.html. We can take quite a few understanding from this. Few of you have already given a few understandings.  I am just adding a few more to them:

1.           The clock was working but not the pendulum: Didn’t even notice the slot available to make the pendulum work – wow! And yet, was irritated, adjusting (in my mind), suffering its non-working all these years!

    Are we not so even in our lives? Are we aware of little corrections that need to be done – to overcome our complaints and suffering? Are we looking at the problem to solve it or just to cry about its existence?

  
 The same can be applied in relationships and other aspects of our life…

 

2.             Clock still, pendulum working:  

             a. Pendulum represents the external factors and Clock represents us. In spite of external factors pushing us to change, we are not moving in that direction. We are stuck in spite of the situation giving us a push from outside. So, what are the situations in our life that are pushing us to become a better person?  We are for some reason not changing, why? We are stuck here! Just look! And unstuck yourself to grow to be a better version of yourself.

 

                                                                 OR

b.
it could also mean – that Time is still in spite of the pendulum moving continuously. “The Atman” is ever still, constant, unmoved in spite of all the ‘moving around’ or activities happening in this world/of this world. Get connected to that Brahman and transcend Time! Meditate on this and overcome ‘Time’ which expresses itself as age, decay, change, and death in our lives. We can become or reach that state of ‘Stillness’ in spite of what goes around in our lives!

Look for teachers and you’ll find them in abundance. Be a student – that’s all that is needed to find a ‘good teacher’. But, demand and you lose the one in your life too!

# lessons learnt through life, everything happens for a reason, teachers everywhere,

Questions addressed and points to be taken:

• Life is a great teacher. It can teach through anything and everything. Am I attending this School and benefitting from it?
• A person who is open learns more than a person who is not!
• A person who has healed more becomes more open minded and open hearted!
• A person who is regular would have healed enough to change his level of understanding!
• A person who has trust will be a regular!
• One may not have trust but if he is at least has had enough of pain and suffering in his life and desires STRONGLY to move away from his present state of existence to a better place would heal.
• A person who has used his INTELLIGENCE and has done everything in his power to change and control the situation comes to healing with no other go and sticks to it for he is lost on options!

Hope your questions are answered!

Reflections – on seeing His ways!

 

Reflections – on seeing His ways!

I decided to go to a temple in our locality for no good reason. Even if I did ever, that certainly was NEVER the time I would choose to do this ritual. And yet, here I was ready and all, to this temple. 

I saw an old couple looking at the barren road and houses there. I knew immediately that they were searching for some location and I very surely knew it and that they would seek to know that from me. Smiling, I walked the lane, as I approached them, they asked me for directions – as if they knew I was waiting there to direct them. I gave them directions and continued walking toward the temple.

I wanted to share this incident with the following understanding with you:

a.Stop using google apps and ‘ask for directions’ the good old way – at least within the city. (I still do!)

b.The way people respond and reach out to you will touch you!!! The more times this happens, the more your confidence will increase and your fear will decrease. Do it just one day and study yourself on that day. Look at your energy levels.

c.We are social beings. We draw energies when we get connected with our fellow beings.

What does the posts in the link given above explain?

Questions answered: 

• What is intuition?
• Do miracles happen? Have you experienced miracles?
• Why is there an increase in the mental diseases? Why are people getting depressed more often now?
• Why are we feeling low often now-a-days in spite of increase in facilities, comforts and technology?

Points to take from this post:

• To a person who is aware, life is a string of miracles.
• When a person is grateful, aware and full of faith, he sees Reiki/He is working for him 24/7. He then celebrates that knowing. He is joyous and fearless.
• The little choices that we make ALSO MAKE  a difference in our state of mind, mental well-being and happiness. They also make a dent on our confidence and increase our fear within. In this post it is given as an eg. of using GPS....
