The way we look at life depends upon our reality and our reality changes with time. Take for instance a man who was neglected as a child and always wanted more from his parents. And his parents were always verbally putting him down and telling him he needed to be stronger. Thus later in life he is always full of fear and feelings of peace, contentment, or power elude him. Thus his reality is totally different from someone who is brought up in a loving nurturing family.

Many times sadness has to do with ego— but we never connect the dots. When we feel the world is going against us we feel we should be treated better, our ego is taking over telling us things should be different. We create our reality according to our actions and thus we have created our karma over many lifetimes. Yet all the great avatars from the past have gone through many challenges and were even crucified— yet we feel we deserve better.

“When Pride Keeps us from Healing” When we have pride that gets in the way of our healing we become stagnant and that leads to many challenges which spiral out of control. But when we admit to our faults and see the good that can come from all of this… we begin to heal.

Once there was a young man (Lets Call Him Tommy) who grew up in an average family with busy parents. Parents who didn’t mean too, but were so busy that they didn’t spend much time with their young son. And because of that Tommy was always trying to get their attention. Sometimes by getting good grades, or being the top of his class, and other times by getting awards and special recognition. But his parents would say, “That’s Great Tommy” keep up the good work and they would go their way doing whatever it is they were doing… thus the little boy always felt alone.

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we'll be happier when they are.nnAfter that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.nnThen we tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we’re able to go on a nice vaca

The operation of the Gunas of nature, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas is noticeable in the spiritual quest as in everything else. The result is that when something new or exciting occurs, it tends to provoke the rising of Rajas and an attempt to grasp and enhance the ego-gratification of the event. Rajas however has its limitations and eventually there is a reaction that either brings on the rise of Tamas, in the forms of ignorance, darkness or inaction; or, if balanced, it can bring the rise of Sattwa.

In the exte al world, fear plays a role that can both hinder progress, and protect from impulsive or rash action that would result in injury, loss or death. If fear is excessive, it paralyzes the individual into inaction. If it is insufficient, he may rush into circumstances far beyond his expectation and suffer the consequences. Fear is like a tripwire and a defensive wall. Depending on how sensitively it has been set, we determine the limits of our exte al life beyond which we do not go.

At a very basic, rudimentary level, less developed in the evolutionary scale than the physical mind, lies what is termed the ‘mechanical mind’. This level relies heavily on programmed repetition. It is programmed to have a simple instruction set, to repeat continuously whatever ‘sets off’ its routine.

What does it mean to awaken to life?nWhat is it to be in the present moment?nnThese are questions that can’t be answered with the mind. Disappointing as this may sound to this active mind, awakening just isn’t something the mind can wrap itself around. What I am discovering is that the present moment is the doorway to awakening--awakening to a life with balance, presence and love.nnWhen I am not present where am I?nnThis one I am well qualified to answer.

We come into this world screaming because a doctor just smacked us on our behind and we awaken to a whole new world. And before we arrived we were given a reason for coming to this earthly plane.

Lots of people think that just because an herb is something natural and comes from a plant that it can be taken forever. And that’s generally not true. Herbs and some supplements should only be taken for short periods of time… preferably about 7 to 10 days.

I get this question all the time… “Dr. Haider can you recommend something that will heal my baldness” well that is a tall order. Here is what I’ve found over the last 30 plus years. There have been many studies with lots of men about healing baldness over the years.

They used herbal creams to help heal their baldness They used different shampoos to help heal their baldness They used laser light to help heal their baldness

The popular idea about intuition is tied to some kind of unexplainable process of "knowing" that people go through. If it is purely based in the type of extrapolation from past experience, or some sense that drives the decision without careful and logical analysis, it is still based in the normal activity of the mind, life and body, using memory, instinct, and trained responses as a foundation for fast and unthinking response.

Countless unimaginable and unexpected events, such as plane crashes, road accidents, bombing, fire, floods, earthquakes or even tornadoes, keep happening around the world; causing unnatural death of so many people. So, is it because of the person’s karma that he or she dies such unnatural death?rnThe answer is yes! Everyone is experiencing the consequences of their own karma. Even the manner of death is determined by the person’s karma. In certain cases, one may wonder th

In the classic methods known as Kundalini Yoga, and more generally in traditional yogic practices that seek to open and energize the subtle energy centers, or chakras, the experience is described as one of the energy starting at the lower chakra center, the Muladhara, and then rising up until it joins with the chakra at the crown of the head.

When they were asked how they develop their most inspired concepts or inventions, noted personalities such as Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla made it clear that it is not through some laborious process of thought, but through an inspiration, a vision, a process of understanding that is outside the normal function of the mind-life-body in its limited functionality. Similar reports come from artists, composers, and visionaries who have been recognised as the leading lights in the development of human progress and culture.

There is an apocryphal tale in the Mahabharata which illustrates the nature of Divine Love and the devotion of the seeker. Narad, the divine sage, came across a yogi who was practicing austerities. The yogi took the opportunity to ask how long before he would achieve liberation. When Narada told him it would be several lifetimes, he was distressed that after so many years of hard austerities, the result was still long in the future. Narad later came across a bhakta who was singing and dancing in praise of the Divine under a large tree.

The integral yoga does not focus on the abandonment of human life in the world. The liberation from the hold of the ego-consciousness and its fixation on the terms of success for life that the ego concentrates on, is an important preliminary step. In the end however, nothing less is envisioned than the entire transformation of our existence through the manifestation and integration of the next stage of the evolution of consciousness.

If human nature can be changed, it has to be at the place where motives and impulsions affect the understanding and the action. The sadhana thus entails a review of the wellsprings of thought and action, and a refusal of the drives and motives of the desire soul of the vital nature. Many times these motives are clothed in positive forms and good intentions.

There are times when we feel a total lack of inspiration and energy. Dullness pervades, there is no initiative or interest in anything. These times come in the ordinary day to day life, but they are covered up with distractions, entertainment, intoxication, and vital forms of enjoyment. The vital nature thrives on such distractions generally, so the dullness, boredom, lack of drive are forgotten in the excitement of the vital stimuli.

The ultimate objective of leading a spiritual life is Moksha. Moksha means freedom. There are two stages of moksha: 1.First denotes the freedom from ignorance of the Self. Ignorance of the Self is the biggest bondage as it creates illusion and keeps us in the illusory state all the time. Knowledge of the Self is necessary for freedom from the bondage of ignorance. 2.The second is the complete freedom from the physical body, complete emancipation to siddha Gati, which is the a

Have you ever seen a talking and walking toy that runs on battery? According to what it is fed, it says, ‘I am hungry, I am happy’, and so on. It works as long as there is a battery in it. And, when the battery is discharged, it is dead. Similarly, a dead body doesn’t have any energy or power to move because it has discharged all its karmas. There is no one to fly away in a toy when it is dead, whereas there is a Soul in a living being that leaves when all the karmas fo

Since the book The Secret came out, mention of the law of attraction has been everywhere, so why do so many people find it difficult to get what they want in life? It’s because while The Secret was a great introduction to the law of attraction, it is by no means the full picture. Many people think of the law of attraction as things magically happening or appearing when you have positive thoughts. While the beauty of this universal law lies in how magical it seems, there is a

If we look at the spiritual and religious traditions of the world, we find that a recurring theme is the need of the true seeker to disassociate himself from the outer life of the world. This is done to focus the attention on the spiritual quest and to avoid the distractions, disruptions and time and energy required to deal with the demands of the exte al life. In many cases, this is done through simplification of the life in the setting of a monastery, cloister, ashram or spiritual community.

Whether one is working with a professional in the field of psychology, or one is working on one’s own internally to resolve disturbances and inner conflicts, attain peace, or achieve balance in one’s life, certain basic knowledge is required. One needs to understand the complex nature of the human personality, with the differing and sometimes conflicting needs, demands, desires and drives associated with each element of the being.

Worship of an exte al deity, an avatar, savior or enlightened being is recognised as a sign of religious dedication on the part of an individual. In many instances, however, this form of worship is a more or less empty ritual that is part of a societal expectation or norm, or operates as a mechanism for indoctrination and control, but does not necessarily effectuate any deeper change in the being. Founders and leaders of some of the great religions speak of an inner change that must take place to follow their teachings.

The long-standing debate between science and religion pits the rational intellect with its demand for facts, proof, and logical inference, along with rigorous testing to achieve reproducible results to dispel doubt against the religious conviction based on faith. Science looks down on faith as not being fact-based or provable, while religion dismisses science as limited within an artificial framework that does not, in fact, fully understand the creation or its meaning, and which therefore misunderstands and misinterprets what it is seeing and inferring.

The Bhagavad Gita proclaims that ‘yoga is skill in works’. The type of focused concentrated effort that comes about through a yogic practice is an essential aspect of completing any task skillfully. It does not imply, however, that all ‘skill in works’ is necessarily yoga, unless by that one includes the secret yoga of nature that prepares the being for union with the Divine through the long, slow process of evolutionary development.

If we walk away from the sun we see our shadow. And if we keep running after our shadow we never catch up with it… it’s elusive. But if we turn towards the sun the shadows disappear, and we bask in the warmth of the sun. If a man is constantly wanting money, success, and status all of these things impermanent… thus they are like shadows that come and go. At one point we think we have everything, then a second later something happens and we have nothing. That’s what Maya (The World) is all about, trying to entices us away from truth and love.
