Purity always matters

As the stage gets Bigger, Sound gets Louder, Crowd gets larger. THE SHAKTI, quietly leaves

The Divine stays stable in purity, Purity of bhao being the most important.

The Divine stays stable where there is purity of Bhao

To succeed in your spiritual goals..

To those who wish to reach higher in their spiritual aspirations

Swami Vivekanand says,

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life-think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

The first step is not to disturb the mind, not to associate with persons whose ideas are disturbing. Avoid them. And those of you who want to go to the highest, must avoid all company, good or bad. Practise hard; whether you love or die does not matter.

Those who take up just a bit of it and a little of everything else make no progress. It is of no use simply to take up a course of lessons.

To those who are full of Tamas, ignorant and dull-those whose minds never get fixed on any idea, who only crave for something to amuse them, religion and philosophy are simply objects of entertainment. These are the unpersevering. They hear a talk, think it very nice and then go home and forget all about it.

To succeed you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will.

“I will drink the ocean, at my will the mountains will crumble”, says the preserving soul.

Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard and you will reach the goal”.

Breath of fresh air..

You bring a breath of fresh air with you;

‘You leave’..

And a part of me leaves with you..

..Abha Shahra

Karmic sanskars

It takes just a moment for you to not exist as yourself on this planet.

That moment can be any moment, who knows? Next breath could be the last..

When you leave this body, only the karmas will travel with you as your sanskars. These karmic sanskars is what will give you results in the next birth.

So just think, “Is all this Raag, Dwesh, Lobh”, (Attachments, Rivalry, Greed) really worth it?

Create karmas which will give higher and positive situations in the next birth.

 

 

(This particular photo is of entangled leaves on a branch. The twisted leaves remind us of the agitation in a mind which is full of Raag, Dwesh, Lobh. It is a very negative and selfish mind who fails to find the required peace).

Jai Shree RadhaKrishn

Emotional dependance

Till the time I am dependent on OTHERS for fulfillment of MY emotions,

I will continue to be dissatisfied.

 

True happiness is called Joy.

“Let your soul flower in Joy”

Joy is independent of any person or any situation in one’s life. It is a spiritual quality. Joy erupts from your soul.

Whereas,

Happiness is variable, depending on the people and situations in your life.

Happiness will be dependent on the people and situations in your life; your control is people and situation defendant.

Surrender in bhakti

Shree Krishn, in the Chapter 18 of Bhagwad Geeta, asks all seekers to “Surrender” themselves to Him.

For being able to do pure surrender and renunciation, one needs to understand what true surrender means, because correct understanding only, will give the correct results.

Complete surrender would mean following ONE; not blindly; but with the right understanding. Which would mean: to follow the One Guru with total belief in his path and way of bhakti towards One Form of God.

“At the same time maintaining respect for all other Forms and Paths and Religions”.

( I took this photo where a pujan kalash and a puja supari are thrown back from the sea, on the beach; on a low tide day.)

Jai Shreeji!

Forgiveness

One of the magic keys to stepping up fast in spirituality, is to be able to forgive all, as forgiveness grants peace,

which in turn  brings joy, which ultimately helps in reducing the clutter of negativity in our minds.

This happens because we are always trying to blame the other people out there for all that goes wrong in our world.

This forms a very unnecessary cycle of finger pointing and revenge amongst people around us.

But, try it and see, that as soon as you begin to take responsibility for your life experiences,

you will become aware of your thoughts and be able to forgive all those “Others”;

And in return receive “Peace” and hence “Joy” for yourself

Jai Shreeji!!

Spiritual giving…

Spiritual ‘Giving’ means: No expectations;

One does not give any type of any gift to the ‘Other’, with any sort of expectations,

as in order to maintain the ‘Purity’ of this ‘Giving’, the act has to be complete in itself.

Jai Shreeji!!
