GRATITUDE - THE GREATEST PRAYER, THE GREATEST VIRTUE




Life is an awesome experience, and experiencing life through a physical body is extraordinary!

We, every human, animal, plant, minerals etc, began as a thought in the mind of the Creator. The powerful Creator being expanded itself into infinite individualized experiences, and each experience is beautiful, awesome, powerful, and enlightening!



When we humans took a body, we birthed something called the 'Ego-Mind', it was a beautiful tool to help protect and care for the body. Yes, it is a beautiful tool, but it is not who we are.

We are not this body, nor its personality, nor the mind. But sadly, as humans we get so caught up in living and surviving the physical experience that we lose our focus on the truth of who we are.

We are pure Spirit, Pure Consciousness, that emanated from the radiance of the Creator's light. We emanated and we co-created with the Creator to experience and enjoy the physicality. Life of a Spirit being in a physical form is truly an awesome experience!



When we enjoy physicality from the place of the Spirit, we come into the knowing of the complete wholeness of who we are. Only then we can acknowledge life as a grand valuable gift to celebrate every moment. Otherwise, the 'ego-mind' focuses only on the survival of the physicality and thus takes us into a journey of fear and pain. Fear and pain are stories of the mind about what happened to the survival of the body and what might happen.

It is refreshing to know that we always have a choice either to play the game of life totally believing and sticking with the 'ego-mind', or choosing to move and expand and enter into a journey of trusting the powerful Spirit in us, seeking guidance from Spirit and live life fully as a Spirit being experiencing a physical body.

Acknowledging the Spirit of the Creator inside our body temples makes life a great wonderment and joy every moment. Not even a single moment can pass by without the feeling of Gratitude. Life experience becomes a prayer of Gratitude. The knowing that everything around you, the people, the flowers, the trees, animals, the land, the rocks, the river, the air, everything has been lovingly created FOR you, for you to experience the bliss of the Creator's love.




When we choose to see every life experience (good or bad) from the place of Gratitude, our heart opens and our life becomes a prayer, a gratitude prayer that is held in awe by the body temple.

The moment Gratitude enters, every aspect of life,- physically, emotionally, mentally- every aspect of living is completely HEALED!



"Gratitude is the Greatest of all Prayers and the Greatest of all Virtues."

Let us choose to consciously hold the attitude of Gratitude.

Blessings!

KNOWING THE CREATOR




So many of us want to touch God, to know the Creator. In order to do this we pray, we sing, we chant, we meditate, we fast, we torture ourselves. We search and then fianlly come to a conclusion that we are not worthy of God's attention. This is the greatest suffering that one can endure.

The simplest and most profound way to gain God's attention is learning to love the Self. Before doing anything we need to learn to love. Love is the catalyst , the powerful bridge that allows one to touch the face of God.

When we love the Self as a part of the Creator's Divinity, then we undertand that we are worthy of God's love and attention.

There is no need to spend time in rituals and painful processes, for love makes known that God is as near to you as your very next breath.

The basic law of life is that whatever you do to yourself you will do to others. If you are judging or unkind to yourself you will definitely be unkind and judgemental towards others.

If you start loving yourself as the Creator's Divinity, you feel yourself become bigger and bigger in consciousness, and your expansion includes everything around you and everything that comes into your space, everything becomes a part of your loving being.

Loving the Self is the frist step in loving the Creator. Through loving the Creation we start loving the Creator. Only when we start loving God's creation we can truly partake of God's love.

When I say loving God's creation, many are of the opinion that only that which they see as 'good' in their mind is of God, they limit the Creator by giving a name and a meaning. This is why many times I hesitate to write the word 'God', for it has different meaning for each individual. When I refer to the word 'God' I refer to the Divine, the Creator, the ALL.

Accepting the Self, 'the good and the bad' is the first step towards Loving the Self. Accepting oneself helps to accept the good and bad in others also.

Self acceptance brings immense wisdom, clarity, and understanding. It helps one to see the Greater picture of life. It brings greater understanding about the 'good and bad' in oneself and others. It helps to move out of the judgements of the mind and emerge into the light of enlightenment.

Loving the Self makes the heart to bloom and the wisdom of the heart becomes easily accessible.

We become loving beings who radiate the powerful aspects or Love, kindness, forgiveness, patience, and understanding. We experience ourselves as magnificient beings of love and light. We experience our magnificience through every act of love, kindness, forgiveness, and understanding that we extend to every person and situation that is placed in our life.


We come to understand life as LOVE, a love that can love the unlovable and forgive the unforgivable.

Being in the radiance of this bliss of LOVE, we come into the KNOWING of the Creator.

Blessings!

LOVE or EGO


You are LOVE.

You were never your EGO; bring the LIGHT of Awareness to KNOW.

Love and Ego cannot exist in the same space.

The ego loves to be special, it wants to be right all the time, it loves conflict, it loves to spot the otherness of the other person, it creates a space for jealousy, anger, hate and misery. The ego has no kindness and it cannot share. The ego loves competition and comparison and creates stress and misery. The ego keeps us unconscious always.

The difference between ego and love, is the difference of being a somebody or a nobody. The ego thrives only on being a somebody, but when you are full of a somebody there is no space for LOVE/GOD to enter.

We can never fight against the ego, the best and the only way to rise above the ego is to bring the light of awareness. The moment we are aware of the hate, jealousy, anger or misery in our thoughts, they disappear from our space. It is as simple as that. Then you come into the understanding that you were never your ego. In order to know who you are, you experienced who you are not.

Practicing to connect with our breath takes us to the place of stillness, to the place of awakened consciousness. The place of awakened consciousness is the “heaven within”.

The more we connect with the heaven within, the more we create “heaven” in our reality.

Blessings!

YOU ARE THE RIVER OF LIFE


Fear is the most powerful enemy of all times. Fear cripples and confuses and makes one to die many times while alive. The concept of fear arises only in the confused mind, a mind that knows only what it knows, a mind that does not know anything before the body came into existence, a mind that can ride its vehicle only through the help of the 5 physical senses.

The experience of the 5 senses are just a miniscule part of life. LIFE is who YOU are, you are the great river of life that flows infinitely. Birth, death, pleasure experiences of the 5 senses are all the attractions on the banks of the river of life.

A confused mind attaches itself to the attractions on the banks of the river and does not let go. Fear arises because of attachment, fear arises because the river of life is flowing and you remain stagnant.

Live life fully each moment. Do not cling to, but enjoy and celebrate the attractions on the banks of this river of life and move on with the flow. For, You are the river, You are life! The river flows infinitely, and creates amazing magical adventures all through its path. Go as the river, enjoy the magical adventures, and be in the place of excited anticipation of the next moment, move on.


YOU are the river of life, KNOW the river, GO with the flow.

Blessings!

EMPOWERING THE SELF




Loving begins with the SELF. If you do not know how to love yourself, then you will not be able to love anyone else. You are the only person in the entire universe who can love yourself fully and completely, no one else can do this for you.

When you love and accept yourself completely, the Love you create will support you, guide you, and inspire you in every aspect of life. You will be inspired to make wise, powerful choices for yourself and others.

Loving the Self is the kindest way of giving the gift of yourself back to yourself. You then need not search for yourself in others. When you start loving who you are, you then do not need anyone to make you a 'someone'. Do not create the loneliness of not being there for You.

Loving and accepting the Self brings contentment and joy, you become your own best friend. You start living in your Truth, you do not seek to compete or compare yourself with others anymore, self confidence radiates from you and you see yourself as a success every moment. This is the greatest empowerment!


Choose to love and celebrate YOU, You are a magnificient creation, one of a kind, there was no one born like you or will ever be born like you, nature never repeats itself! Celebrate YOU! You deserve the Best!

I found that affirmations on loving the Self are very empowering. Affirmations work wonders on everyone who chooses to empower themselves sincerely.

You can do affirmations like:-

"I love myself, I am wonderful",

" I am a beloved child of the Universe/God, I deserve to live a wonderful life, All is well in my world"

Affirmations receive their magic from the feelings you bind with the words. Pour your feelings on to every word of affiramtions you say and make them true for yourself.

You can do these affirmations by looking at yourself in the mirror, or you can write them many times during the day as a love letter to the Self, or you can recite them with feeling many times during the day. Whatever you choose to do sincerely will work for you.

Choose to give this gift for yourself today.

Blessings!

ARE WE WILLING TO LOSE OUR CREATED WORLD?




We live in the world but we, each and everyone of us create our own world on the inside in our minds. The world outside is totally different from the world we create on the inside. The world outside is perfect, and everyone is being who they are exactly as they are supposed to be, there are no mistakes here. But suffering comes when we choose to believe our judgements about the world outside and hold these as beliefs in our inner created world.

Our inner world is created by the mind that can only know a person or situtation through just the five physical senses. The data stored by the mind does not include the thoughts, emotions or feelings of a person. So the data stored and believed in the mind is definitely insufficient data.

Taking this insufficient data as the truth we make ourselves suffer thinking that the world is the cause of our suffering. But the truth is, what we choose to believe about the world is the cause of our suffering completely.

If we truthfully start inquiry into the belief datas of our mind, we will let them go for they are not true, the world then becomes a kinder place. We come to understand that we were at war with the ways of the world, we believed that the world was a crazy place, but the truth becomes clear that the world was never crazy, we became crazy by holding on to our beliefs about the world.


When we are not at war with the world outside, our inner world is peaceful, and it projects a peaceful outer world.

When there is inner peace we come into the freedom of living in Grace and Ease, for we understand that what we have right now is what we wanted. Life is benevolent and it always brings to us that which we need at the right time, nothing more, nothing less.

Living in Trust and Gratitude is the Highest form of Devotion.

Blessings!

TRANSFORMATION ~ A JOURNEY THROUGH PAIN AND FEAR




My Sweet Friends,



I invite you today to take a sacred journey into your inner world and liberate yourself from the bondage of pain, both emotional and physical. I truly believe that our unresolved issues in life have a direct correlation to the health of our bodies and our wellbeing.



The key to our healing is to straight away deal with our wounds, to process our fears, forgive from the heart, and stand in our Truth.

Only a courageous person who is passionately seeking freedom can take this journey of moving through unresolved fears.

It is my observation that our physical bodies are formed not from the food and nutrients we take in, but from our life experiences, our attitudes to life, and our emotions and pain buried from past experiences.



It is a human tendency to hide behind wounds and create walls so thick that we are unable to move ahead in life.

We are powerful energy beings but it is sad to notice that we give away our energy for things that do not support us in any way.


We give away our creative energy to judge people, situations, places and things and lock them into wounded memories and attitudes.

We do not realize that our wounds cost us a great deal both physically and monetarily.

Our health is intimately connected with our emotions and attitudes. Our unprocessed fears and emotions are injurious to our health and wellbeing.

Our stress pours into our bodies as acid. Our blood pH is alkaline, and so to process the acid the body organs struggle everyday. Our bodies create fat cells to engulf the excess acid in the body and store it away from the vital organs and delicate systems of the body. Our bodies start holding fat and go into dis-ease.



I notice that locking ones focus into a negative past, focusing all ones attention and energy on it, feeding it by talking about it, and exaggerating it everyday, seems to be a most powerful pastime of our society and culture today! I find it very funny that people feel that if there is nothing to grumble about or be negative about, then there will be nothing else to talk with each other. In fact I lost all of my friends some 15 years ago when I stopped having a pity party with my stories, and my friends' stories of some unpleasant past. We develop powerful habbits of spoken language and body language that keep our wounds of the past alive.

Our habbits have become our culture, and our culture has taught us not to care for ourselves or to take responsibility for our happiness.



As I had mentioned before we are energy beings and our bodies thrive on life force energy. Our life force energy depends on our every thought, emotions, and attitudes. If we choose to encourage negative thoughts and emotions, we are in for great trouble. For, these are more toxic to the body than any toxic food or drink. The more judgemental we become, the more energy will become depleted from our system, our body becomes tired and weak, we become irritated and short tempered all the time, we even stop doing things that we were usually doing. This is very serious because we are heavily losing our life force energy. Negative beliefs and judgements cost a lot of energy, deliberately saying negative comments to people drains enormous amounts of energy.




How we create heaven or hell in our lives depends on how we treat ourselves and others. Being human is challenging, every person goes through trauma in life.

I have noticed that people sometimes take the power from their trauma, build up stories around it and use it to control other people, this is why the saying, "hurt people are the ones who hurt others" is true. We become so connected with our wounded past that we use them to manipulate others.



Every person, every place, every situation has been created benevolently by life for our growth physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Every interation with another human being, every experience with every situation is a beautiful opportunity to expand, to amass and gather enormous knowledge and wisdom. All we can deal from the mind is only what we see in front of us, we do not know the bigger picture. If we truly analyse from our heart, we can know that our past has brought us to where we are right now. Life has always been benevolent, reality / God is always good and there is no argument. When we argue with reality we suffer a lot.

The only key to avoid suffering of body, mind, and soul, is forgiveness towards oneself and others. Pain is not an enemy, it is a bringer of wisdom and knowledge, it is a guardian who shows us the way to freedom. Paying attention to life, living every moment fully and completely, allowing and accepting our reality, making room for forgiveness, choosing to focus our energy on our strengths and our gifts, and living from the place of Gratitude, are the most powerful ways of healing and liberating ourselves from the illusion of fear and pain. When we liberate ourselves, our life force energy is powerful enough to liberate everyone who comes into our space!




Making peace with humanity and Divinity is the MAGIC OF LIFE.

Let us choose to create magic and miracles for ourselves and our Planet.

Blessings!
