Co incidence
There is a constant blessing and regular messages coming from
the Universe if we are open. Sometimes, a message meant for someone else gets
posted to your cell. But there is nothing like a co incidence. So, think what
the words convey to you. They will most definitely apply to you in some way.
Today, I got a similar message which made me smile. It was really so relevant to the relationship with the sender. I am aware that there is a resistance from the other end but to me, it was a sign that I had to reply. So I did. I am not seeking any outcome from anything. I have realized that this is the mistake we make always. We don't move from our place of ego.
One day, as we go along, we
realize that all we need to do is cleanse ourselves. Not to worry about the
others. Inner transformation gets manifested outside. So, the more we cleanse,
the more our inner world gets purified. And then we don't look for returns. Simultaneously,
the effect shows around us, in people, in events automatically ...everywhere.
It is very simple. If you have
a black spot on your cheek, your mirror will show it. But you have to clean it
from your face before the mirror can show a clean face. You can't clean it
inside the mirror, can you?

Realize
is amazing to actually draw parallels between
our external and inner worlds. Whenever things are confused outside, I can see
that there is some confusion inside as well. You will also realize this.
Haven't you noticed that some days you just get up feeling heavy and the whole
day goes wrong...nothing goes right.
Old memories get triggered, because of some negativity in the subconscious mind and of course, this manifests outside. The day you are not well, you tend to avoid the world around you because there would surely be conflicts.
These memories are what we need to cleanse
through meditation, introspection and transformation.

Inspirational story!
A deeply inspirational story! Once, a very
bright and keen-to-study boy went to a brilliant astrologer who had never been
wrong in his predictions and asked him, "Sir! Will you please look at my
palm and tell me how much I will
study!
The astrologer, after examining the lines on his palm said, “I am sorry but there is no line of knowledge in your palm". The boy asked him to point out the place of the line. Once he knew where the line should be, he went home, took a knife and cut a line exactly where the line of knowledge should have been.
Then, with a
bleeding palm, he went back to the astrologer and said, “Sir! See! Now I have
the line of knowledge in my palm." This boy grew up to be a famous Sanskrit scholar. His name was
Acharya Panini.
If all mankind had that kind of spirit, this world would be a haven. Our destinies can be molded by us. We are not limited by astrological predictions.

Individual consciousness
Living with individual consciousness is never enough. We have
to learn to live in a collective consciousness too....as parts of a family,
society and country. In fact, these are times for
being International. The world has shrunk and we need to expand.
There is a fine balance that we struggle to achieve. Some don't even try. The fact is, we are a sum total of so many unhealed memories that unless we cleanse them, we are not moving forward anytime soon into a significant spiritual space.
So, though we can have affluence, power and control over humans in our physical reality, we still remain insecure and lacking in totality.

Destined
Destined! I used to believe for a long time
that we can do ANYTHING we want to. Life proved otherwise. But with a corollary
not everything we want can be achieved. But when that understanding dawns and
we are able to accept and let go of that desire, miraculously, other
opportunities begin to shine before us. And those often are what our inner
calling is.
The question is, at what stage do we become sensitive
to this awareness?
And how do we remain untainted by the
pollution of our desires which may not be in sync with what the Universe has
chosen for us? It is very possible if we learn to understand the symbolic
language in which the Universe speaks to us.
Many of us have
had the experience that during a questioning phase, you open a book and
suddenly, your answer is there. Or, someone around you will say something which
is just the reply you are looking for. This is the supporting language of the Universe.
If you go deeper and start observing everything with a microscopic awareness,
each minute will become very profound in its information and knowledge.

State of consciousness
Someone else's viewpoint! It is gracious and
polite to let someone else have their say and more important, LISTEN to them.
We don't know how to listen.
For some of us, the reason is a highly
cluttered mind and the desperation to be heard that blocks out other people's
voices. It is amazing what we will understand about our chaotic state of
consciousness at any given point in time.
Just as we want to be heard, others do, too.
Otherwise, there will be conflict and chaos all the way. Relationships get frayed at the edges
and it doesn't do good
to anyone anywhere.
Our Heart Chakra must be open for the benefit of ourselves and others. We have an individual and collective existence. And balancing both is vital to our karmic evolution. And because there is connectivity between all humans and nature, the energy that works is love, compassion and understanding.
Because we don’t
listen and support, there could be fatal episodes like suicide, or depressions
and psychological issues also. I think we all have a responsibility to talk to
people who want to do so. It could mean the start of hope and a second attempt
at life for someone.

Pastime
Worry, worry,
worry! It is the most popular pastime. Sometimes, I think some people thrive on
worry. What would they do if they didn't have something to worry about?
So, you worry
about your children, your job, whether your staff is going to turn up for work
the next day, how much influence you have on others, why you are not popular in
a group…etc.
From the more
serious to the lighter issues, we just like to worry.
Instead, if we
start analyzing the reasons and the root causes of every worry, we may see some
light at the end of the tunnel. There are tough karmic experiences that many go
through, whether happily or unhappily. But underneath that knowledge is a more
profound knowledge that of being protected and helped by the Universe provided
we are on the wavelength to receive that help.

Spiritual poverty
Spiritual poverty! We seldom use the two words together but when we do,
it turns into a very hard hitting thought.
Spiritual poverty is the poverty of the soul. As long as we have money, cars,
comforts and "riches", the word "poor" is not generally
used for us, right?
But that is exactly what many "rich" people are. When our soul
is poor and sick and we are immersed in matter, our salvation is far from
coming.
Name, fame and money can be very elevating...but
only for the EGO. Not for the soul. Spiritual elevation is not connected with
material "elevation”. The former does not need the latter. But the latter
needs the former desperately. Because, the ego directed individual will, most
likely, tend to develop an anti spiritual personality.
It is often possible to find
spiritually rich people in a hut and the spiritually poor people in palaces.
To become your own person in
every sense, you have to be prepared to be “burnt” (metaphorically) and stand
isolated, if required. If there is no courage within the spiritual framework of
a person, spiritual growth remains just a dream until further lessons are
learnt.

Vibrations
We know that many old souls are being
born on earth, because the earth is ready to take a leap of vibrations. These
souls have experiences of many life times and therefore, have gone through much
learning. So, they are very mature. You cannot treat them like babies. They are
focused and quick to learn.
In comparison, the new souls are immature, unaware and
often, brash because they don't have much learning as yet. Therefore, there is
a huge need of understanding humans within their environment and behavioral
patterns. I don't think most of us are in a position to judge them.
