We are in a period of history where many people feel agitated and insecure about what is going to happen to our climate and to our worldwide financial structure. I speak to people everyday who are scared. On the other hand, some people feel that we are getting a huge wake up call and need to take advantage of our current problems in order to create a better world. This is a time when a HUGE number of people are focused on world problems and not just on their own personal live
Not long ago there was a man by the name of David that had malignant melanoma on his upper back and it started to spread. He went to doctors and they took out a large and deep area of his skin and muscles to remove the cancerous area but it grew back. So they did chemo and radiation therapy but his cancer came back larger and more aggressive than ever. And soon it spread to his lymph nodes and from there to the rest of his body. At that point, the doctors didn’t have anything they could do so they told him he only had 3 or 4 months to live.
Love is the essence of all things, love can change everything if we allow love to take over our life and be the path that we follow no matter what happens.

Here is a true story of a man and woman in love.

Meditation is amazing, we can sit for hours and them all of a sudden we feel something in our body that makes us feel uncomfortable. But if we just sit and feel — it disappears. And Life is Like That Too

There are a number of proven methods for achieving peace and silence in the mind. Some are more arduous than others. The more one works at it, the more inward pressure one asserts to try to achieve this status, the greater the intrusions that force themselves on the mind. This is the result of a rajasic effort filled with desire for a particular result. The Mother suggests a method that releases this pressure, and allows peace and quiet in the mind to come over time with repeated effort, but without being filled with desire and any aggressive method.
When we fixate on the fulfillment of the body-life-mind complex in our exte al being, the exclusive concentration involved helps us to temporarily lose sight of the larger Oneness of which all are a part. We then put ourselves in opposition to other aspects of the one Reality and treat each part as separate and distinct. This sets up a sense of competition, an artificial fight over control of limited resources, and a sense of self-aggrandisement that engages in a “win-lose” battle to survive and thrive, rather than a “win-win” participation in the universal manifestation by all.
Many people suppose that it is impossible to avoid suffering, as it is an inherent aspect of life on earth. Their strategies for dealing with suffering may vary, but they all believe that suffering is inevitable.

Until an individual has an actual experience of what the Mother calls ‘interiorisation’, there is no real way to understand what it is about. Many people believe that if they sit quietly in meditation, or follow an internal train of thought, that they have an inner experience, but this is not what the Mother actually refers to. These things are still functions of the surface being, the exte al personality, and can be likened to the earth’s thin layer of topsoil.
It is often said that animals do not suffer in the same way that humans do. They experience pain and can suffer from it, but they seem to not be tortured by all of the mental suffering that we go through in our lives.
We tend to internalize and “own” our weaknesses or internal struggles. This is the ego-consciousness at work. We also fail to recognise that there are multiple different sources of pressures on us, some of which are ingrained habits we have accepted into our surface being, others are seeds we have dormant in our subconscient levels, and yet still others are pressures from the exte al environment that attempt to gain entry and acceptance within our being.
There are realms that operate under different rules, or laws, than what we have come to expect here. Our earthly life is a complex amalgam of physical, vital, mental and psychic consciousness, and this mixture implies that none of these are able to express themselves in the purest sense of their own terms of existence and action. There are however realms where these powers are native and thus, have their complete expression without compromise. The physical body acts as a barrier, a restraint, and a protection from the direct operation of any of these other levels.
There are many ideas about the causes of illness, as well as ways to prevent or cure illness. In the West, the prevalent idea is related to what may be called the “germ invasion” theory, namely, that illness is caused by specific physical ‘germs’ (bacteria or viruses) which invade and overpower our physical body and cause disease, which our immune system then needs to be able to withstand and overcome.
Yesterday I had a person who is hooked on drugs contact me and he was not interested in making a change. But what can we do? This young man is hooked on drugs and he said he was not interested in making a change. And thus the wheel of karma keeps moving along, and he wonders why his life is in shambles. The only thing we can do for these people is to be an example and talk to them once in a while and pray for them, show them where to get help… and see if they are ready to move forward. Sometimes There is Nothing We Can Do
If you want Chi or Qi Energy flowing within your being… if you want Spiritual Energy flowing at all times… then it’s important to not impede its movement through the body. Flow Effect All Qi or Chi energy flows from the feet up our spine to the top of our head and around our body on all sides. Then down into the bottoms of our feet and back up the spine again… this cycle is continuous. That powerful energy is impeded when we cross our legs and arms. For Better Health

Once their lived a man who did well in general and then he moved and started having anxiety. And those anxiety attacks were caused by a change in thinking. He went from being very loving man to being totally fearful in very short time… but all of that did change.
Today is Valentines Day and we think about sending cards or giving chocolates to the ones we love. But what about the other 364 days of the year? Once a year we think about the one we love. We go out and spend money and give gifts and take our beloved to dinner. And that is all well and good, but what about spreading that love over the other 364 days of the year. Something to Ponder
In this day and age we have more people who are active and doing life changing events even when they are 80, 90, and 100 years old. And anyone can do this with the right mindset.
The mind creates a number of illusions and misconceptions about Avatars and Vibhutis. Many of these ideas assume, wrongly, that a conscious manifestation of the Divine in the world must be likewise all-knowing and all-powerful, and they thus attribute miraculous powers and actions to those who have been identified as such. It would of course not be logical to assume that every divine manifestation must carry all-knowledge active within himself, when the focus is restricted to a specific time, place and circumstance.
Growing up, we have all been taught the importance of doing good! The reasons for believing in it, at times, may be different though. rnSome believe that doing good will earn us some merit points that can be carried forward into the next life while few others may believe that âmy good deeds will neutralize the bad onesâ. Yet others may feel that being human, it is our duty to do good and be a good humanitarian. But all in all people do believe that doing good is important
Yesterday was a fine day, a really great day, at least, the start of it. As is my usual routine, I started the morning writing, then making phone calls. Next, I checked email. There were many-- several from readers of my books. Some took the time to express thanks and wanted to know what other books I had written. They spoke of life-changing insights; they thanked me for providing them the opportunity to read my works. They wanted more. I felt good, really good. nnnIt got bet
When we are dosing off and our mind wanders and then all of a sudden our arm moves in connection to an image we saw in our minds eye. This shows that our bodies are still responding to stimuli from the brain just as if the imagery were really happening.

Usually when most people go to sleep, they simply ‘let it happen’. This carries with it all of the mental, emotional, vital-nervous, and physical energy pent up in the being at the time, into the sleep state. Add to this mix the state of fatigue that prevails, and it can lead to restless, or dull sleep, chaotic dreams and confused awareness at the times of light sleep or waking.
No! First and foremost, one can never escape the Krambaddh pre-destined events because every event happening in our current life that can be experienced through the five senses is the result of our past karmas.rnThe law of karma is such that: Whatever seeds of karma weâve sown in our past life, we HAVE to bear the fruits of it in future life. rnWhen the time is up for maturation of a particular karma, the fruit automatically comes into effect and gets discharged naturally.
Yes, God does exist. rnBut he does not reside in skies! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan explains, âGod is in every creature whether visible or invisible. God is in creature, not in creation. There are infinite invisible creatures which cannot be seen even under a microscope; God resides in all of them!â Why does everything in my life work now?rnIn our life, we all experience two kinds of results. When meritorious karma are unfolding, it yields positive results. Consequently, eve
âHow can I really be free from all miseries? â Live this life to know just this!â - Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan The law of karma is pretty straightforward - When you give happiness, you get happiness. And if you give suffering to others, you get suffering in return. So, from the moment we begin to care for the other personâs pain and miseries, we immediately start gaining freedom from our own miseries. By seeing the other person in comfort, we automatically experience ha
Without the power to control and purify, an individual faces great risk in dredging up all kinds of subconscious energies, fears, experiences, dreams and desires. Psychoanalysis focuses on tapping into this subconscious level, but it does not start with any process to arm the individual with the necessary insight, and tools, to manage what comes up. Thus, it tends to create great confusion, in some cases leading to years of ongoing ‘therapy’ without any positive result.
Each aspect of the human instrumentality provides its own characteristic forms of resistance when a new, higher evolutionary force tries to engage them and redirect them along the lines it proposes. The underlying issues relate to the action of Tamas in the physical level, Rajas in the vital level, and Tamas again in the mental level. It is also likely that the mind is influenced by the vital to create mental arguments that support the vital desires.
The Bhagavad Gita places considerable emphasis on the need to understand the play of the Gunas, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, in all things. Yogic practice is not exempted from this play. Each of the Gunas has a specific set of characteristics, and they are not stable. The Gunas are always in motion. Doubt, fear, darkness, lack of effort, despondency or depression, all are signs of the predominance of Tamas. Ambition, energetic action, desire, grasping are all signs of the action of Rajas. Light, balance, harmony and understanding, steady, calm effort are the signs of Sattwa.
Shifting the awareness away from the ego-consciousness to the divine standpoint takes place as a ‘tuning’ process which Sri Aurobindo designates as ‘aspiration’. This represents a focus of the attention of the being on the higher consciousness and away from the normal fixation on the outer life of the normal human consciousness. Food is one area that occupies an enormous role and significance in the human sphere, whether it is obtaining food, preparing food, enjoying food or talking or thinking about food.
Once there was a young lady who ended up getting a divorce who had 3 kids, and in the end, she was much happier by herself. But she longed to have a relationship but she just kept picking the wrong people.

We observe an outer fact of existence, but we do not see the motive force behind it, nor the intention behind the motive force. Thus, Darwin identified an evolution of species, and researchers have identified families of species, development of specific characteristics within those families and the sequential development of new powers of awareness, consciousness and action as the forms evolved.

Do you know, by believing oneâs self to be the doer of karma, one binds new karma? rnEven though we are pure Atman, we are ignorant of this fact. This is because from the moment we are born, we believe our Self to be something we are truly not. We believe we are the name and the body, and consequently we believe we are the doer of actions that happen by the body. Because of this misperception, we continue to to be the doer of karma and thus keep binding new karmas. rnWho is
People tend to assume that great beings such as Buddha or Christ are exempt from the issues that the “rest of us” have to face in the world, and in the practice of spiritual sadhana. They simply assume that these great souls somehow fly above the ground-level obstacles that plague us. In fact, the opposite is quite likely to be true. These great souls, who seek out paths for liberation and human advancement, and evolutionary progress, take on tasks that we many times cannot even imagine, and suffer all the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ as Hamlet phrased it!
For spiritual practices that seek a solution outside the life in the world, it is possible to try to “cut the knot” and simply abandon, or at least minimize, the active engagement of mind, life and body in the world. For a spiritual practice such as the integral yoga, however, which aims at a taking up and transforming of human existence and activity in the world, such a step is not feasible, and the “knot” must be “untied” rather than “cut”.
Many people, not just those who practice yoga, experience times when they feel like their lives are meaningless, they are helpless to change, and the round of daily life, with its little wants and needs, and fulfillment of desires, is empty and distasteful. They experience in some cases a sense of what is known in yogic terminology as vairagya, renunciation, even if it is for them a fleeting emotion.

Right now we are living in a period of time where spirit is trying to wake us up. Take for instance this true story:
No. It is not transferrable. You have to suffer the fruits of karmas yourself, be it the good ones or the bad ones. You cannot give it to others nor can anybody take this away from you! If you want to take away your motherâs bad karma and add it to your karma, that will not happen. If your mother is suffering from cancer, there is no way you can take away her miseries or transfer her cancer onto yourself. She has to suffer her miseries herself. If fruit of her karma is bad,
