Our ego gets easily bruised because we have kept a wrong belief for countless lives! An odd start from me, let me introduce it to you one by one. What would that wrong belief be? If I call you by your name, letâs suppose itâs John (you may please insert your name here), and ask you, âAre you really John? Is that your real identity?â, you may reply, âYes of course, I am John and that is my identity.â But are you John or your name is John?rnWhen we say, âMy hair,

Spiritual awakening is never a sad experience!rnSpiritual awakening means the awakening of our Atma. In other words, it is the realisation of âwho am Iâ. Itâs about uniting with oneâs real Self i.e. the pure Soul. rnThe Soul is permanent in nature and is made up of never-fading bliss. When one realises that, âI am a Pure Soulâ, one tastes permanent happiness. What is our real Self? rnParam Pujya Dadashri, founder of the Akram Vignan movement, says, rnâThe true m
What is Ego?rnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, defines ego: rnâEgo is to claim to be something you are not. One does not know who he really is, and hence claims to be what he is not. That is called ego. Ego lies in the belief of, âI am John.â rnâIâ (the real Self) is not John (please insert your name here). Yet, we believe âI am Johnâ. That is called ego! rnIf one believes, âI am a Pure Soulâ, then there is no ego. What is Egoism? rnIt is tha
Happiness, logically speaking; is a most illogical, yet a supremely mystical state of mind and emotion, that rejuvenates almost everyone who experiences it. Though seldom, it is extremely powerful to dissolve the barriers of space and time. It can reverse the irreversible dimension of âAgeâ by converting apprehensive and pensive adulthood to jubilant and ecstatic childhood in a fraction of time. Can money buy happiness?rnBefore answering this question, our mind just gasps
Letâs explore a scientific answer to your question of why each one of us is unique, and hence none of us match with each other. Each one of us is standing at a different point, at a given point of time, on the path of evolution, based on our development. Hence, this results in making us very much unique. The natural flow of progression of an embodied Soul in this world rnWe all travel on our evolutionary journey differently. Letâs see how... The Soul is what we really are
The world of digitalism and social media networking has changed our real life interactions. Their attractive looks and features draw us towards their addiction. With a sharp rise of various social media networking platforms and the Internet, having virtual friends is the new norm. Technology has progressed to the point that being in touch with someone staying miles away is just a swipe away! We are driven by such friendships as they make us feel happy and satisfied. As mainta
The Enlightened One explains: There are three divisions in our self:rnThe outer part is made up of:rnFive senses, rnMind (the gross mind where thoughts arise), rnThe physical body (the brain is part of it), rnSpeech. The inner part comprises of:rnMind (Mann, the subtle mind)rnIntellect (Buddhi)rnConsciousness (Chitt)rnEgo (Ahankar)rnBeyond that is the real Self, the Soul. Really speaking, we all are a Pure Soul. In any inner action that takes place in our self, the four compo
Every morning we wake up with the hope to do something, to achieve something. rnRight from childhood, our parents are after us to make us learn to sit without support at the right age, and then to make us stand, walk, talk appropriately at the right time, and so on. When we successfully learn all the basic skills, we are pushed to the school to learn bigger lessons.rn rnEvery day we have a target to achieve â the target to wake up, have breakfast, get ready and reach school
Explaining the nature of pride, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, says, rnâThe extensive form of the ego is pride.â From where does the tuber of pride originate? Param Pujya Dadashri explains, rnâWhen one gets the taste of respect, he gets a taste of sweetness in it, then the attachment towards getting respect, the greed for getting respect, the desire for getting respect, the beggary for respect enters, and eventually it becomes distorted, meaning, one d
This question has bothered many of us. Every so often we find that the mind decides to take over and keep us rooted in incessant thinking. When this happens it is natural for us to look for ways to free ourselves from it because they take away our peace of mind and cause us a lot of unrest from within. Let us briefly explore the nature of the mind.rnThe nature of the mind is to think, just like, it is the nature of the ears to hear, the eyes to see and so on. Therefore the mi
This a good question, and the spiritual-scientific answer to it is: rnEven if a person commits suicide just once, the repercussions of this act are so grave, that one will have to do the same for several lives to come. The karma (seed) of committing suicide is so serious, as a result (fruit) of which, one has to keep committing suicide, life after life, for atleast seven lives. rnSo, when a person commits suicide in their current life, there is a possibility that the suicide
Simple... by living in the present!rnHow do we live in the present?rnBy attaining Self-Realization and applying the right knowledge in life.rnHow do we attain Self-Realization?rnBy meeting the Enlightened One, who has the spiritual powers to enlighten others, as well.rnHow do we meet the Enlightened One?rnBy having an earnest desire to meet Him and praying to the Lord to enable the meet. Self-Realization can only be acquired by meeting a GnanirnLiberation, not only from pain
Inner peace and stable mind are vital to have, in life. Now, there are two types of solutions here - one is a permanent one, and another is a strong one, until we get to the permanent one. Sounds interesting? So come, letâs peruse both, starting with the strong and instant solution. But before we start, let me tell you both these solutions are suggested by Gnani, the Enlightened One, which means we can have faith in them that they shall surely work. Gnani says, âWorshippi
rnThe purpose of human life is to render selfless service to others.rnReligion begins with a generous nature, and happiness starts from the moment you do something for others. A human is one that gives and takes. He will provide happiness to those who make him happy and bestow misery upon those who cause him distress. However, an altruist is a superhuman who gives away his happiness to others and hence will be born as a celestial being. Altruism is considered to be the highes
Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the enlightened being, has said,rnâReligion does not mean sitting in front of the idol of God; that is not called dharma. Dharma is to accomplish your goal; that is called dharma. Along with that, if you engage in any practice for concentration, then that is a different matter altogether.â An Indirect Way of Serving GodrnâServe mankind because God resides within them. God is seated right within. If you go search for God outside, then He is not
Jealousy is one of the most harmful of human feelings. Not only does it prevent one from experiencing whatever happiness they have claimed, but it slowly and certainly rots the person from inside such that it leaves nothing but suffering in its wake. Where does such a damaging feeling stem from? Is it a function of insecurity or a reaction of unbridled desire? Let us explore! Let us begin by conceptually breaking down the feeling. Jealousy is when we covet anything anyone els
The best way to maintain a positive outlook when faced with negative people is to stay focused on our own goals and beliefs, and cultivate a positive mindset. rnSo, how do we go about staying positive around negative people?rn rnRemember that you are in charge of your attitude. rnThe first step in staying positive is to remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission. If you choose to remain positive, you can do it. Do not allow yourself to fall into the tr
The world that we see with these eyes is a relative world. A person may be a father, son, husband, boss to his subordinate, and at the same time, a subordinate to his boss. rnReally, who is he? Is he really a father or a son? In reality, is he a boss or an assistant? No, it is all relative. rnTo his father, he is the son, and for his son, he is the father. So, who is he in reality, then? rnIs he the body that was 3 kgs in weight during his birth, but which is right now relati
Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened Spiritual Master says, âYou are filled with infinite lifetimes of doubt. When the Gnani Purush fractures them all for you, you will become free from doubt, and then attain the Absolute Soul (which is permanent). The belief and faith that arises then is the right belief.â The fact is that the Atma (the permanent element) cannot be easily found. Man does not have the tools to see that which is permanent! You can only find it through
Dysregulation, also known as emotional dysregulation, refers to a poor ability to manage emotional responses or to keep them within an acceptable range of typical emotional reactions. When someone is experiencing emotional dysregulation, they may have angry outbursts, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm and other self-damaging behaviours. Over time, this condition may interfere with oneâs quality of life, the way one interacts socially, and re
Right or Wrong is Actually a Line of Demarcation; Itâs not that It is Exactly that Way OnlyrnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan says,rnâWe see things as truth or untruth through our deluded perception (and accordingly say) âthis is right and this is wrongâ. Moreover, truth and untruth are not the same for everyone. What you may see as truth, someone else may see it as untruth; what this person sees as truth, this other person may see as untruth. So it is not the same for everyo
By adopting the right understanding, we can maintain happiness even when we constantly find ourselves in a situation that does not entail us being happy. On the Akram path, the basic understanding begins by discovering who I really am and who really is the doer in this world. Once this knowledge has been attained, then you will realise why this is happening, and also how to remain unaffected y whatever happens. This will help you be happy as you learn how to maintain inner pe
Yes, truth indeed is an expression of divinity and spirituality! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, states that:rnâDivinity comes to those who are honest. As loyalty towards the truth and other qualities develop, divinity arises. Divinity means one acquires everything effortlessly.â What kind of damage do we incur by not speaking the truth?rnâPeople lose trust in you. People will never place trust in you!â, cautions Param Pujya Dadashri. What do we do to
Desires, actions, and manifold anxieties are in reality all aspects that belong to the body and name. They are merely unfolding. And as they unfold, owing to ignorance of the Self (the real Self), in each circumstance, we experience attachment and abhorrence internally. Consequently, we get bound by merit or demerit karma accordingly. Hence, the root cause of our bondage is our ignorance of the real SelfrnWhilst we continue to believe the name and body to be our self, we will
Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, advises a positive way to build the positive. He explains: What does positive mean? You do not have to take out anything; you do not have to remove anything, you only have to bring in. Say for instance, we have this drum full of oil and if someone says he wants to empty this oil; then we ask him what he wants to fill inside. He says, âI want to fill it with water.â So we tell him to start pouring water in this; oil will vac
No, there is neither a need to create oneâs own happiness, nor are the external factors needed for the same. Our very own Self, the real self itself, by nature, is an abode of infinite bliss! So, we just have to realize the Self i.e. attain Self-Realization to attain happiness that is real and permanent, the eternal happiness! What happens upon Self-Realization that creates happiness?rnWe come to know what our real identity is i.e. âwho really am Iâ. That enlightenment
Healing rarely looks like we think it will. It’s messier, slower, and much more sacred. Some events split life into before and after. A sudden loss. A betrayal. An illness you didn’t see coming. Trauma feels like a storm that tears down the walls you thought were unshakable. But beneath the wreckage, something else waits. Something you might not expect. With time, and sometimes with the right sacred guidance, the very thing that broke you open can also become what awakens yo
