New milestone set this year 2024!

 


New milestone set this year 2024!




We have crossed the 350th mark – the highest so far – since this blog was started!



Let’s see where this train stops this year!!

Whatever would be the number now, it would be the new and the highest so far! Kudos to that!



Celebrations are to begin already!

We don’t know the number yet we know we are the winners – this year!!!



How very beautiful is that fact?

So, how do we apply this “FACT” in our life and its journey?

Mastering the Nature!

 


Mastering the Nature!




The ultimate dream of everyone is to be “ALL POWERFUL”.

And today, let’s see the path that takes us towards being “all powerful” one day!

Being ‘all powerful’ means being the Masters of the phenomena of Nature.

Everything in the World has to feel puny in front of the fury of the Nature.

Imagine, we can master such “A Nature”??!!

Wow – that is everything and be all!


And Swami Vivekananda says “The whole universe is a mass of change. But there is One who never changes, and that is God; and the nearer we get to Him, the less will be the change for us, the less will nature be able to work on us; and when we reach Him and stand with Him, we shall conquer nature, we shall be masters of these phenomena of nature, and they will have no effect on us”

If you can’t believe then look at Jesus Christ – he woke up from death! That is having control over the nature.


Many such are examples that our various Gurus have shown us. Share if you know any of such examples.

But, above all, every healing that you do to overcome your weakness, exhibit your divine nature, connect with your soul takes you nearer to Him and in that lies your secret to overcome your fate slowly and steadily – bye and by.

So stop not till you reach your desired goal!


Keep working on yourself!

Keep doing sadhan!

Develop clarity of thought, patience, trust and faith with healing!

Grow fearless day by day!

On life and death!

 


On life and death!





Life is ever expanding while contraction is death.

Amassing things of this world is not expanding. It is contraction. It is the death of the soul.

The self-seeking man who is looking after his personal comforts and leading a lazy life – there is no room for him even in hell.

One who goes towards the World dies again and again.



One who draws himself away from the World walks towards eternity.

One who gathers gets scattered.

One who gives away regains himself.

On Spring cleaning – The task of the sadhan for November 2024

 


On Spring cleaning – The task of the sadhan for November 2024




Further to https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2024/10/sadhan-for-november-2024.html cleaned the Pooja room (Prayer room) first – as always! This is my preferred choice. 

After cleaning found lots of space cleared! Yes, it was found that ‘one single item’ was found in 2-3 boxes – like kumkum or wicks. Took all of them and put them in a single box.

Like-wise rearranged the entire setup. About 4-5 boxes could be done away with – good enough!



It looks more spacious now. It seemed cluttered before – but NOW – no clutter at all.

And I thought all this while, it was because of “the Pooja room” being small and with no shelves there??!! Turns out, I was wrong.

So, what is the moral of the story so far?

Deenni nunchi manaku dorike neeti emiti?

Kya seekh milaa?

On being truthful!

 


On being truthful!




“Practice truthfulness. Twelve years of absolute truthfulness in thought, word and deed gives a man what he wills” – Swami Vivekananda.

Read what the Swamiji says again and again to get it right.

He says – Practice truthfulness for twelve years. No bending the rules there. Practice should be in toto – IN THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED. Only then, the sadhan is complete. We can’t bend the rule to our convenience and then demand that we gain the power to materialize our thoughts or desires into reality.

Don’t expect the other – be it your parent, Guru or God to practice it for you and pass over to you the fruit of that sadhan. What would you call a person who expects so? What are the qualities that you associate with such a person?

Now, coming to our “Practice truthfulness” – sit on it.


Meditate on it.

Think about it.

And then, come back with your thoughts.

All your thoughts when put together may actually give you a better perspective.
