Why is my ego so easily bruised? How do I make it stronger?

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, let’s suppose it’s John (you may please insert your name here), and ask you, “Are you really John? Is that your real identity?”, you may reply, “Yes of course, I am John and that is my identity.” But are you John or your name is John?rnWhen we say, ‘My hair,

Can spiritual awakening take away all your simple joys in life? Is it supposed to be a sad experience?

Spiritual awakening is never a sad experience!rnSpiritual awakening means the awakening of our Atma. In other words, it is the realisation of ‘who am I’. It’s about uniting with one’s 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, ‘I am a Pure Soul’, one tastes permanent happiness. What is our real Self? rnParam Pujya Dadashri, founder of the Akram Vignan movement, says, rn“The true m

How is detachment from our ego possible?

What is Ego?rnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, defines ego: rn“Ego 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, ‘I am John.’ rn‘I’ (the real Self) is not John (please insert your name here). Yet, we believe ‘I am John’. That is called ego! rnIf one believes, ‘I am a Pure Soul’, then there is no ego. What is Egoism? rnIt is tha

Can money really buy happiness, If yes then how & if not then what can bring happiness?

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 ‘Age’ 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

Why is each and every person unique and not matching? Is it due to different karmas?

Let’s 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. Let’s see how... The Soul is what we really are

How do I get over an online friend that I am so attached to?

The world of digitalism and social media networking has changed our real life interactions. Their attractive looks and features draw us towards their addiction.

What is our purpose? Why are we hustling every day? What do we want to achieve?

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.

How can a person overcome pride spiritually?

Explaining the nature of pride, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, says, rn“The extensive form of the ego is pride.” From where does the tuber of pride originate? Param Pujya Dadashri explains, rn“When 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

How do I free myself from repetitive thoughts forever?

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.

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

What happens with the Soul of those in the afterlife who kill themselves?

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

Is altruism actually real? Is the ego an obstacle to true altruism?

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

Is jealousy a function of insecurity or a reaction of unbridled desire?

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

How do I accept everything impermanent and let it go to be happy?

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened Spiritual Master says, “You 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.” 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!

Right or Wrong is Actually a Line of Demarcation; It’s not that It is Exactly that Way OnlyrnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan says,rn“We see things as truth or untruth through our deluded perception (and accordingly say) ‘this is right and this is wrong’. 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.

How do we maintain happiness when we constantly find ourselves in situations that dont entail being happy?

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.

How are you bound in this world by desires actions and manifold anxieties?

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

I am kind of negative minded, how can I overcome this problem?

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, ‘I want to fill it with water.’ So we tell him to start pouring water in this; oil will vac

How Your Trauma Could Become a Spiritual Superpower

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
