 Here is a short story for you! Once there was a barber, and a client came to his shop. The client wanted to have a haircut and a tuft at the back of his head. The barber asked why you wanted a tuft. The client answered, he believed in God, and as a devotee, he wanted to keep a tuft.  He didn't believe in God. He was skeptical. He asked the client why there is so much suffering, if there is God. People are suffering from mental and physical diseases, attachments and so on. The client remained silent. After paying his bills, he went out.  Then after a while, the client started shouting there is no barber in the town. The barber came out of his shop. And asked the barber, what are you saying, I am here, I just gave you a haircut! The client replied look at that beggar, he didn't have his hair cut. He had a big beard and dirty looks. If the barber really would have existed, this man wouldn't be in such a shabby state. Now the barber understood the logic.  If we don't ap...

Let's go back to history and learn from Mahatma Gandhi. He have given us some of the precious lessons of life.  We can learn so much from Gandhi, he not only played a major role in making the country free from rulers but also had a great control over his mind.  He had virtues like honesty and non-violence, that gave him the unwavering confidence to fight for the country and these values proved that he had conquered his mind.  And that's why the saying, the one who has conquered his mind, can conquer the world. Gandhiji is the real-life example. One who has developed his mind, like Gandhiji, with virtues and having sharp intellect can attain anything in this world. These virtues in heart and sharp intellect is a requirement for spiritual seekers to progress in the path of Realization.

Stop Limiting Life's Possibility. Realize the full potential of what it means to be a human. Don't allow yourself to be just a little part of this universe. Open up all the possibilities of a joyful life, that this birth can offer. Being a human gives you a good chance to be aware of who you really are. Life isn't all about compulsiveness, which means, I need to do this and that to be joyful. But it should be ecstatic and effortless. That's how our real nature is.  Because of our limited knowledge, we only know and find happiness in possessions. Acquiring more wealth and more status, becomes the aim of life. We never think, where is the satisfaction lost in this rat race. Discovering the best human possibility is the goal of this life. To find that, one must work on oneself, understand mind/ego and how nature works. How this universe is aligned to make this magnificent existence possible.  Limited goals in life, will only give you limited results. Aim a blissful life, a...

  "When the world says give up, hope whispers try it one more time.” - Anonymous When people out there criticize you or put you down, never ever lose hope. Always hope to succeed, not now, but soon.  Why do we compromise for a mediocre lives, why can't we dream big. Just because of our mindset, which has been influenced by society. The societal norms curbs your wishes. People don't want you to earn more, live like you want. That's the reality. Facing this reality, becomes a challenge for many. Again their limited mindset stops them. They just agree, without questioning others. Are you one of them? Apart from your family, no one gives a damn to what happens to you next. It's the truth. Can't believe it? Say to your friend, you have lost  all your money, will she help you? If yes, upto what extent. It's only you who are responsible for a good life. Depending on others for making your life, is mere foolishness.  Just be responsible for your life, your life is ...

Attachment with the temporary can only give you pain. Attachment with the permanent will give you real satisfaction.  We seek name, fame, money, acceptance and respect from others. Not knowing it's all temporary, and will not stay for long. Yet we tend to seek it because of our conditioning.  Transcend your desires, let go of the temporary attachments. And only there you will find peace.  Everything in the world is temporary, flows like a river. Can you hold a fast moving stream? No. Same way you can't expect peace in an ever changing world.  Find that which never changes! 

  For a beautiful birth in human form, for a filled stomach, for mind to think rationally and choose what is right and wrong, for a healthy body, for your loved ones and this list is endless. Just by thinking about this, we feel blessed.  We often forget in this continuous effort of reaching heights, where are we. What journeys we have made, what struggles we have faced. Be grateful to this moment, you have overcome many obstacles to live this life.  Being thankful for this day, means that you appreciate this life. What can be more beautiful than this! Not running after people and possessions, and being in a state of satisfaction feels so good. It's a treasure we all have, yet we lack the wisdom to use it. So, just thank everyone around yourself, for being alive and being with you. Be grateful for this life. There are people who are losing it right now. You just appreciate it!

Y ou think you have a choice. But unfortunately, you don't have any. Can you stop acting out of your compulsions? Are your choices conscious? We act only in the manner, others want us to act like. We just reciprocate. Never did anything out of love.  I sometimes wonder, is there any difference between humans and animals. The difference is only in our thoughts, in our mind. We just act in subtle ways. In reality, when we act through our ego, we are no less than animals. They hurt, we hate. They eat, we dominate. Being choiceless, we suffer. Accepting this reality, can bring a true change.
