Do souls meet and if so where.

Like you, I was also attracted by the title, "Where souls meet". As I have learnt quite a bit of knowledge on the subject through Hindu religious discourses, I expected to find information related to that.

I only read two sentences in that article. What a garbage! It was written by someone who definitely has no knowledge of :
* What happens immediately after death
* What happens after 15 days of death
* Where the soul goes after leaving the body
* Would it return the house it has lived till renouncing the body
* How will long it will remain as a soul
* Will it meet other souls
* When it will renter another body

These are all very interesting to read but may not be truly useful because as human beings we just don't know how to live following individual religious scripts.

Man's quest and search would indicate who he thinks he is.

Two conversations that I read and heard made immense sense to me. I wish to share them with you here.

1 What are Godly qualities?
It is only the atmosphere that you create when you enter a place where others are present. How do you think the atmosphere would be if God enters with all his bliss and benevolence?

2. Your search and quest in life is a strong indication of who do you think you are.
I heard this meaningful sentence from Sri. Velukkudi Krishnan swamigal in his religious discourse.
"If you you are a cow, you would look out for lands to graze.
Tigers would hunt for other animals.
Man would always work for money and food if he thinks he is just a body.

Man's quest would be to enhance his soul if he realizes that he is a soul in a body."

What prevents one to go to heaven or reach the God's abode?

Some of the blog posts that impressed me in the recent past explained spiritual development very clearly and unbelievably simply.

What prevents one to go to heaven or reach the God's abode?
Between you and your destination, there is nobody there. The path is smooth without any hurdles. Only your own negative and destructive thoughts are the thorns in the path.

How do you tell anyone if he/she has Godly qualities?
It is again simple. Even before the person says anything, he brings in an atmosphere in which you and I feel instantly comfortable. Our spirit is pure benevolence. It can't be anything else.

Visit the blog below and you would find many thought provoking and inspiring words which would surely make you see inside you. The moment you start seeing the spirit in you, you are on your way to enlightenment.

What is spiritual constipation?

Do you think you are not full or not sacred enough to develop spiritually. If so, it is called "Spiritual Constipation".

Don't laugh; it is coined by somebody and I think it is an apt description. As a matter of fact, everyone is spiritually constipated till they enter the realm of spirituality. By spirituality, I am not talking about individual's religious beliefs.

To lift the spiritual world's veil, you only need to permit yourself to experiment it with open mind. In addition, you should have a specific purpose like solving your problems spiritually. Yes, it is possible and it is pure science. In fact, our body and mind basically functions as per certain spiritual laws that I call the "Laws of Universe".

As a soul, we are all complete; fully developed. But the feeling that we are not complete points to our ignorance only.

We only simply have to let go of our ego and listen or read with open mind what the leaders say about spirituality or the evolution of ego. Connecting to our inner self is the real meaning of spiritual development. Once done, then, anything is possible for us like out of body adventures, remote viewing also called ESP.

Are you ready to get rid of your spiritual constipation?

No, they were not poor.

Probably, the world's most ill-conceived notion is Spirituality means frugal living. Some would vehemently attach poverty to spirituality. Their thoughts invariably influenced by the depiction of life of sages.

I would say, those enlightened sadhus did not any luxuries of life. They were all eternally in absolute bliss that can't be matched even by the most extravagantly living man in the world.

There is this confirmed misconception that those whose life is in the transition stage-from materialistic to spiritualistic, always face financial shortage.

Well, they can enjoy the highest pleasures without having to spend a dime. They just could create anything out of thin air but only they never felt the need.

I firmly believe that the so called spiritual powers were gifted to them from the universe. They mostly would not have spent a fortune to get these healing powers like medical practitioners. So, it is quite possible that they believed in giving things away freely that were given to them freely.

How to know your life purpose?

Not all search for the meaning or purpose of life-right?

But you know some do and even you might have wondered sometimes about why you were born; what is in it for you?

People with such quests go all out and search for books and people that can provide answers to the purpose of life.

I firmly believe that none can give you the answers or direct you to the source of your creator which alone can reveal it to you.

And when it is done, you will realize the shocking simplicity of it and you will know that is no secret at all and it has been there all your life thus far.

So, how at all to approach your Creator?

NO! You can't go to him. He will come to you.

WHEN?

Whenever you are ready!

How do I know when I will be ready? Any symptoms, indications etc?

That too will be revealed to you; rather you will just know.

GOD will seek you when HE knows that you are ready.

Now, what I should do?
Just set your intention to find out the purpose of your life and JUST BE.

When will you discover your life purpose.

Exactly after 40 years, mostly men tend to develop spiritual leanings. By exploring various religious books, men first try to find the purpose of life and generally, such men might not be well off financially.

Well, not all above 40, turn spiritually. But why? Why not all?
God chooses only certain people who are ready mentally to seek God and live a life of high morality, extend unconditional love and live contentedly.

Usually, rather without exception, their life purpose is revealed to them by the divine forces.

What I imply is, there is absolutely no need to discover your life purpose by reading books, talking to sages and saints etc.

If God sees you are ready, then, he will show you what you have to become.

A life purpose, in my opinion, is revealed to you or you will be made to realize when you pursue your passions and are truly willing to share whatever you know and whatever you can give.

World's most effective spiritual connection.

Can you please answer these questions?
* Name 10 wealthiest people in the world
* Name 3 most beautiful faces in the world
* Name 5 most talented sportsmen in the world

Tough recalling their names-right? You might remember newspaper headlines that can help you to make your list of the persons but such headlines might not get etched in your memory for long.

Now, answer these questions:
* List 3 teachers that made strong impression on you and helped you achieve academic excellence
* Name 10 of your best friends who stood by you in difficult times
* Name 5 people who helped you realize your potential

Ah, there you are! You took less than 5 minutes to write their names down-right?

How did you manage to remember them? You appreciated them when they played their part in your life and you retain sincere gratitude to them. They might not have been big names or celebrities but they cared for you.

Now, don't you think it is your turn to be of some use to someone you care? Your role should be such that they should feel being appreciated.

The metal state of appreciation and gratitude is the most profound emotion and that is also the closest connection to the creator.

When you appreciate someone or something, you are in very positive state, cutting off all the negativity like complaints, focusing on lack of money and contemplating unexpected outcome of a meeting etc.

And here is the most important outcome of your appreciation. When you frankly and shamelessly appreciate even a small gesture of kindness to you, a natural scenery, a wonderful on screen performance, a delicious meal, it is like saying to the Universe, "More of that please".

And Universe will give you just that-events, places, people, material that you have openly appreciated so that you will continue to appreciate.

Got it all?

The 3 angels story. Truly a wake up call.

Below is a truth that can help open the floodgates to abundance!

A woman living in downtown Ontario, Canada came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard.

She did not recognize them.

She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing
to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!" he said. "Since that's the case, let's invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is
Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also
got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and
Success: "I only invited Love, why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success,the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love,wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"


What a wake up call!

ps: I think this wonderful story was written by Bob Procter.

How to cope up in difficult situations?

A normally quiet person that I know of was shocked out of her wits yesterday evening when she was attacked by a total stranger.

But somehow she remembered several of life coaching lessons and stayed calm in the nick of the time; else she would have either panicked or retorted.

She called me the next day and narrated the incident and how my words have helped her tackle the predicament she was put into.

I repeat them here for everyone's sake.
* You are never far away from your spiritual guide that has been living with you since * you were born.
* The situations that you face that are not to your liking were created only to prepare you and educate you and definitely not to hurt you or endanger you.
* Remember the great forces of nature that exist without any strain or stress and that force is always within you. Rather, you are also made up of that energy.

How to avoid emotional pain?

Pain-the mental and psychological pain is also a form of fear. I know, I know, it is difficult to accept with my view but it is a fact and you will agree with me may be later in your life, if not now.

Ok, if it is a form of fear, what are you afraid of?
Fear of lack of appreciation
Fear of lack of acknowledgement
Fear of rebuke
Fear of criticism

How this pain occurs?
When you offer resistance to the condition and situation you face at present. Resistance to 'what is' always gives you pain. And when you prolong the resistance, you feel the pain equally longer.

How to avoid this pain?
Simply by offering no resistance and accepting the fact that life is a mixture of diverse situations and conditions and it will not be always as you want it.

Is there any example?
Yes. You put up your opinion on something to the person you are talking to. And he doesn't agree with your views and differs in his opinion. You immediately get angry and starts arguing in defense of your view. You slowly build up anger and that leads to resentment and frustration-all are negative emotion and are indications that you are afraid-afraid of losing.

Any solution?
Sure. Simply allow the person to differ from you. They have every right to differ.

Just allow them to be.

Every wish granted if...

Here is one more proof that every wish of us is granted if it is line with our thoughts and if God decides that the wish when granted will give a good experience.

On last Sunday, I along with my husband were to go to his friend's house for lunch. I wanted to hire an air conditioned car but my husband said no after I told the price. So, we went by other means.

In the afternoon, after we returned from our outing, another friend of my husband visited us with his wife. They invited us for a shopping and they told us they have brought an a/c car.

My husband gently reminded me of my wish in the morning.

I remembered this note on my computer table:

"Watch everything flow into place with perfect, passionate precision. "

Stop! Slow down to access faster vibration.

There is an awakening all over the world. People of all ages are seeking spiritual development. This quest is beyond relion and religious following. Cultural and social frontiers are ignored.

There is a sense of realization among many that money alone is the goal to be achieved; it is not the means of salvation.

I happen to attend a day long discourse on spirituality and meditation conducted by Swami Nithyananda Paramahamsa in Madras. There were as many as 800 people attended sincerely.

The sawmi's disciples made life look is easy and pleasant by their speech. They made everyone of us realize that we don't have to chase anything in life. Rushing is not THE WAY.

Life is fast. We have to race against time. Still, we vibrate at slow frequencies. In order to achieve faster vibration, we have to slow down. What a paradox!

Life is suddenly easy to me. Things are working out perfectly without the illusion of my efficiency.

A new visitor to my husband's blogging academy turned to be an voracious reader of spiritual and self development books and guides. My husband's face lit up to 1000 Watts.

The visitor was given a free time to browse through my husband's personal library of self development and spirituality books. They both started discussing about various books and totally forgot about the visitor's purpose which was to inquire about the various training courses on blogging.

Then the subject as anticipated steered towards the 61 e-books on self development that my husband started promoting online. He advertises the the complete collection as "The Greatest Library of Self Help, Success & Spiritual eBooks ever Written".

The collection includes these all time favorites:
As a man thinketh by James Allen
Acres of Diamond by Russell H. Conwell
Thoughts of Vibration by William W. Atkinson

I thought the visitor would be tempted to buy the collection but he ended up as a trainee in my husband's blogging academy.

How desires are born?

Desires are given to you by the Divine. They don't originate from your brain. Don't take credit for the desires and its manifestation.

How desires work?
In a very simple and most common example, I will explain this. Imagine a kid growing up in a house full of noise that is full of abuses and hatred exchanged between its parents. At the early stage, even though the child may not grasp the full implications of incompatibility between its parents, its subconscious mind soaks in all the information.

As the child grows up, it will start understanding. It gets disturbed. It desires peace and love in married life. There! A desire is born!

Your desires are in response to what you observe. The divine has exposed to you to conditions that you don't want to experience in your life and thereby giving rise to new desires.

Since the desires are given to you by the Divine, it sure has plans to make those desires a reality which thus far existed only on the mental plane.

So, when you have a desire, be absolutely sure that it will manifest. Just have patience and let go and let God!

Got the point?

The easiest way to have permanent peace.

Inspired by Bhagvat Gita and a discourse on it by Sri.Velukudi Krishnan today in the television today, I am writing this blog post which will show you a surefire way to live in infinite peace.

To attain this invaluable peace of living, you need not:
Do penance on a hill;
Pray several times a day;
Indulge in charity;
Undergo self torturing methods to please God or seek forgiveness;
Recite slogans, chant mantras;
Meditate;
Read religious books;
Do religious rituals.

But do this only: Whatever you do in your life daily, just offer the result to God or Source. Don't have an ulterior motive for any of your actions except doing it just for the sake of doing, so you derive satisfaction.

What happens when you leave the befits of your actions to the God or Source?
You need not have to tell lie so you stand to gain;
You need not put on a face that is not you to impress others;
You need not bend anything to win;
You need not have to compete and thus live a stress free day;
You need not use devious ways to gain or save a few bucks.

When you are free of all these, naturally, a calmness set in! You are blisfully not bothered about any results that may arise out of your actions.

This is the highest vibaration of your self. At this state of mind, you release all your resistance (negative emotions and thought). And when resistance is removed, everything you desire, everything you ever wanted will easily start flowing towards you freely.

How to receive from Universe?

You ask; it is given immediately. But you don't see it in your physical experience.

This is the stale story for almost all of us. Yes, I mean there are exceptions. There are people I know who get what they asked for almost instantly.

My husband is a classic example. I have been seeing him living a life that he wanted. His own working hours that he keeps shrinking so that he can read books on anything he likes. And do you know the books find him always?

When I asked him how, he replied that he didn't know. In fact, his secret he told me several times is, he never asks how. He just leaves it for the universe to deliver.

It means he is in perfect alignment of his desires. It means, he doesn't entertain doubts over the manifestation of his desires. He believes strongly that it will be manifested.

If one doubts, then, whatever has been given will stay only in his mental level. Ah, one more character we must develop in order to receive what is given- Patience-infinite patience is required to produce immediate results.

Miracles happen by and by; not according to your agenda.

How to get enlightenment?

Enlightenment means not relinquishing the world and everything in it including your body, soul and mind. It is not to be associated with retiring to Himalayas leaving behind your family. It is nothing to do with doing away with desires.

Enlightenment means the realization that you and I are one. It is a mental state of being at one with God and everything else in the planet earth. A total piece will encase you when you are connected with your source.

How to get to enlightened state?
To know that, you must know what is preventing you from getting to that state of enlightenment. The incessant mental noise that is very active even in your dreams is the only culprit that is preventing you to be enlightened. Enlightenment is the end of suffering-right?
Enlightenment is freedom from non-stop thinking-isn't that a big enslavement?

Daily, sit for just 5 minutes and try to stop thinking and just focus your mental attention on your breathing-the life inside you. You will still allow thoughts. Let them out and don't curse yourself for allowing thoughts.

When you allow thoughts, assume that you are releasing them and wait for next thought. Now, it will take a bit longer to come. Release it and now command for next thought. Now it will take more time to come.

This in-between time is precious. You will be at blissful peace. Words can't express that feeling. Practice this exercise daily for just 5 minutes and soon you will wait for this time. Slowly, you will lapse into this no-mental-noise state for more time; I mean the time between thoughts will become longer and finally, it will stop.

You can then gently wake up and go about your day's work with renewed vigor and confidence.


Try it dear.

To transcend desire.

It is absolutely natural for human beings to have desires and it is so very natural. Every contrasting situation gives rise to new desires. When those new desires are achieved, another contrasting situation is born and it again makes to project a different set of desires. The cycle goes on and on!

Now, do you want this cycle to go on for you do you want to stop it?

All the desires no doubt will give you enormous pleasure but also pain. The moment a material or a person or a situation disappears from your life, you grieve the loss putting yourself into considerable stress and depression.

Is there a way out?
Yes and yes. If you don't cling on to your pleasure giving material, persons or circumstances, it is possible to avoid depression when they leave you. Nothing on this planet is permanent and nothing can be claimed as yours.

Just allow all that appear in your life, use them as long as they stay in your life and let go when they are taken away from you to complete their cycle.

When you thus detached from everything, you are free. This freedom from attachment is the real freedom for mankind.

Contemplate on this idea.

Gratitude to all my mentors who know that I am gratified to them.

Can you let go of your unhappiness?

Are you in the mood to enjoy a simple and short blog post written by Krishna from Bombay, India?

The title of the blog post is, "Happiness is easy. Its letting go of unhappiness thats hard." I quote her where she has expressed aptly about happiness.
"If we find ourselves laughing with abandon, singing in the shower, or whistling loud enough to be overheard, for some nagging reason we feel we must resume a "serious" state of mind. And yet its happiness that is truly practical and serious. "

If we find ourselves laughing with abandon, singing in the shower, or whistling loud enough to be overheard, for some nagging reason we feel we must resume a "serious" state of mind. And yet its happiness that is truly practical and serious.

How well said by someone young!

We all happily forget (Smile) that our true nature is to be happy at all times. We identify ourselves with other emotions and say that, “It is my nature”. This ignorance and false identification is preventing us from being our true self.

We are not born with so many qualities that build up our character; we pick them up along our trail and we cling onto them too!

While reading her blog post, please don’t forget to read what she says about her in the right sidebar.
