The Power Within

What we perceive with our physical eyes or senses is not the reality. That is an illusion . Reality cannot be seen with our physical senses. Reality exists beyond our physical senses. To conceive the reality we have to go beyond the trap of physical senses. That can be attained by profound discovery. With our physical eyes, it appears that the earth is stable and the sun is revolving the earth, now, we know that it is not true. It is just an illusion of our eyes. In fact, the sun is stable and the earth is continuously revolving the sun. The reality of the rotating behaviour of the sun and the earth came into our notice by intense discovery. We are so stupefied by our senses that whatever is told which is beyond the perception of our physical senses, we do not accept that easily. We revolt. When an Italian astronomer Galileo first time told about the reality of the movement of the sun and earth on the basis of his discovery, he was incarcerated. That was beyond the understa...

शादी से पहले वर और वधू के हर पहलू  का वाकायदा निरकक्षण किया जाता है कि वे करते क्या है , उनकी शिक्षा क्या है , उनकी आमदनी क्या है, उनका खानदान क्या है.... वैगरह - वैगरह... उसके बाद कुंडली मिलायी जाती है।  सब क़ुछ समाज और परिवार के अनुसार मैच होने के बाद दो लोग शादी के प्रणव सूत्र में बंधते नहीं, परन्तु, अक्सर समाज और परिवार के रीति-रिवाज़ के बंधन में बांध दिये जाते है। लेकिन प्यार में ऐसा नहीं होता - प्यार महज हो जाता है। प्यार जातीय पसंद होता है। शादी एक मुक्कमल चीज़ होती है और प्यार अधूरा होता है। मुक्कमल और अधूरा एक दूसरे का विरोधाभास होता है। एक -दूसरे के साथ नहीं रह सकते।  पूर्णता आते ही अधूरापन समाप्त हो जाता है।  शादी के बाद पति  और पत्नी  एक दूसरे में परफेक्शन ढूढ़ने में लग जाते है ।  एक- दूसरे को सुधारने  में लग जाते है।  एक-दूसरे के कमियों को उजागर करने में लग जाते है।   शादी हो गयी है मतलब की एक दूसरे  में कोई कमिया नहीं होनी  चाहिए। यही सुधरने और सुधारने में पूरी जिंदगी समाप्त हो जाती है। प्यार पफेक्शन का ...

Lord Mahavira was ridiculed and tortured when he started spreading his message to the world. He was taunted - what a naked man is going to teach to the world. People saw his external nakedness, but could not see the naked truth hidden in his external nakedness which he wanted to dissipate for the welfare of humanity. Despite all these torture and harassment, he continued spreading the knowledge to the humanity what he had acquired in his deep meditation and stringent penance. Lord Buddha was jeered and laughed, but he did not stop spreading the message and knowledge he had acquired in his deep meditation and penance. Jesus Christ knew he would be killed if he was going to spread the message what he had acquired in his deep meditation. That was against the faith of many people of that time and beyond the understanding of the common mind. Despite that, he continued spreading his message and knowledge to the world for the welfare of humanity. Eventually, he was crucified, but ...

On Chhath Puja, predominantly, the Sun is revered and worshipped. There are various rituals and customs of revering and worshipping Sun around the world. Various people in the various parts of the world express their gratitude to the god Sun in various ways. Mostly, rising sun is worshipped in the world. But, Chhath Puja is the only festival in this world where both rising and setting sun is worshipped equally. This festival has a very powerful and profound spiritual meaning. This festival and its rituals are so profound that this single festival is sufficient enough to teach us the entire essence of life and existence if its essence is properly understood rather than doing it mechanically. The rising and sinking sun are the symbolism of birth and death of the living beings on this planet. Birth and death is the reality of this existence. There is no new birth without death and there is no death if there is no birth. If there is no birth and death, the rhythmic movement o...

Water always flows downwards. This is an inherent nature of water. If you want to ascend water to some height, you have to put effort. On the other side, fire always goes up. This is an inherent nature of fire. Water and fire have opposite qualities. Former always goes down and later always goes up. One quenches the thirst, and another increases the thirst. One burns, another extinguishes. Despite the diagonal differences, one thing is common in them that is - Oxygen. Water is made of two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen- that is – H2O. Fire cannot burn without the presence of Oxygen. Both the elements are equally important for the sustainability of nature and creature on this planet. Their contradicting qualities create the balance in nature which helps in building a suitable environment for the living beings. They appear opposite however they work continuously together for maintaining a viable environment on this planet. The lives are not possible on other planets b...

I will enjoy my life after the completion of my matriculation, after getting good marks, after taking admission in the premier institutes and universities, after completion of so and so degree and course.

I am not enjoying my life working for someone. Do not worry. I will enjoy my life when I will get retirement from my active ...

In order to get the elixir of immortality, the Amrut – you have to first drink the poison. Amrut is always hidden in the veneer of Poison. There is no one on this planet who does not want Amrut. Both Asura and Deva have the common goal – Amrut. But the Amrut is hidden in the deep layer of the ocean. To get the Amrut out, the ocean must be churned out. The first time, Deva and Asura worked together for the common goal – that is – Amrut. They put their diligent effort. They worked as an ideal team for that purpose. You may have differences, but if there is a common goal, and both parties are getting benefit from that, without any alternative, you have to work as an ideal team; you have to give your 100% to achieve the common goal. The same thing was being done by Deva and Asura. They both wanted Amrut, but that was not possible without churning the ocean. They knew it, and hence they started churning the ocean. During the churning, the first thing came out was Halahal,...

LISTEN and SILENT are two different words but contain the same alphabets. These two words are complementary to each other. In order to listen something as it is, you have to silence your mind first. Without listening something properly, you cannot understand it properly. Without understanding it properly, you cannot be the master of that subject what has been talking about. Only 2% people listen, rest 98% just hear. If you listen properly then there would be no any misconception and misunderstanding about anything. Listening must be the pure. There must not be any prejudices and assumption in it. It must be listened as it is. The listening is so pure and divine that the highest and the most authentic scripture of Hinduism that is Veda is called Shruti – means – to be heard. It is so because without great listening ability no one can be the master of great, profound and divine knowledge. Lord Ganesha is considered the god of wisdom. His wisdom is because of his listening a...

मुन्ना  ऐसा मत करो, मत रोओ, खाना खालो, क्या चाहिए बोलो तुम्हारे पिताजी ला देंगे, अभी चूप हो जाओ। मुन्ना चुप होने का नाम नहीं ले रहा था।  उसको भी वही रिमोट वाला कार चाहिए जो कि पड़ोस में रहने वाला टिंकू के पास है। लड़का खाना नहीं खा रहा था, रूठ के बैठा था।  उसको चाहिए तो बस चाहिए।  जिद्द पे अड़ गया। माँ- बाप ज्यादा बोल नहीं सकते क्योकि एकलौता लड़का था।  लाड - प्यार बहुत था। पिताजी ऑफिस से आये।  मनाने की कोशिश की, लेकिन कोई फायदा नहीं हुआ। अनन्तः उनको उसी वक़्त पास के बाजार से रिमोट कंट्रोल वाला कार लाना पड़ा।  मुन्ना खिलौना देखकर चुप हुआ, और खाना खाने लगा। लेकिन भरपेट खाना नहीं खा पाया क्योकि उसका ध्यान खिलौने पे था। कुछ दिन खेला, फिर वही रोना धोना।  नए नए दिन नई नई फरमाइसे। उसके माँ बाप हर संभव प्रयास करते की मुन्ना किसी तरह से खुश रहे, परन्तु मुन्ना को तो रोने और रूठने की आदत पड़ चुकी थी। वह किसी भी चीज़ से खुश नहीं रहता था। बड़ा हुआ, लेकिन रोने की आदत गयी नहीं।  बच्चो की तरह तो आँसू बहा नहीं सकता था, लेकिन हमेशा उदास रहता था।  दुनिया म...

All the existing   creatures can be understood but not the human. And what that cannot be understood, cannot be controlled.  The most cunning and dangerous creature is the human being. By any means, humans cannot be understood properly. They think something, they speak something and they do something. It is very difficult, almost impossible, to find out the reality of any human being. We proudly say that we know many people. But, we know only the reflection of those people, not the reality. The reflection keeps changing from time to time. A person is very close with you, he spends most of the time with you, he regularly talks with you, however, it is very difficult for you to understand what the exact view and image he has about you. And he cannot understand about you as well. It may be a good view or a bad view of something or someone, but no way the exact view. Whether you appraise someone or criticize someone, you exaggerate in both cases. Someone re...

There cannot be smoke without fire. Through the smoke, you can reach the fire. But when you see fog and understand it as smoke and try to find the fire, you cannot get it, and you declare the absence of fire. Puranas and stories and images and rituals are the smokes of the fire of spirituality. Through which you can reach the fire of spirituality which is continuously burning inside you. When you reach that fire, there would be light and warmth everywhere. In that light, you can see everything as it. Everything would be very clear to you. Nothing can delude or fear you. The delusion and fear exist in the realm of the darkness only.  In the presence of fire, the darkness cannot exist. That is why fire is considered very auspicious. Reaching that fire is the state of enlightenment. But when you entangle yourselves in the smoke of Purana, stories, rituals and images, you deceive yourself. The illusion and darkness will not go away from your life. That smoke will make the...

In Hinduism, in the ceremony of marriage, bride and groom circumambulate the fire for seven times with seven vows and with an emotional oath to carry with the same spouse for the next seven lives. Humans are not certain of one life and make a promise of carrying the same relationship for seven lives. Most of the people lose their interest in the relationship of marriage in 7 years, some in 7 months, some in even 7 days and we talk to carry the same relationship for seven lives. In the case of incompatibility, most of the relationships are not being carried amicably but being dragged due to some unavoidable compulsion and responsibility. People sacrifice their inherent urge of freedom and happiness at the door of compulsion of responsibility. We take seven vows during the marriage ceremony, but most of us do not understand what those vows are. Those seven vows of marriage are so idealistic which cannot be fulfilled in one life. That is why you have given seven lives to un...

All the creatures, plants and materials are attached to the earth, because of the gravitational force. If the gravitational is absent even for a moment, the entire world would be a chaos, everything will vanish from here. There is an order in nature because of this unbreakable gravitational force. Similarly, the constitution of any country is that force which keeps the country in order and provides a new dimension and direction to that country and makes that country a developed and prosperous country. If that force is weak, anyone can break and mould it the way they want. That would create a chaos in the country. No one can be happy and prosperous in such kind of country where the constitution is weak and law and order is at stake. Nobody could develop a trust in the government and nation. Where is there no trust in the government and nation, everybody would work for themselves, not for the development of the nation. Everybody would have fear and insecurity whether he is ...
