It’s 15th August today and India's Independence Day. Entire nation is forwarding messages of patriotism, tricolor flag and songs. A video that just landed on my whatsapp simply caught my attention and it showed a man who runs far and wide overcoming all the obstacles to save and catch the falling tricolor flag of India. Lo and behold !! This clicked me with an insight as to what does it mean yo protect the flag of our country? Ever thought ?? 🤔🤔
And it started flowing into my mind the message from above on Independence Day !!
These tri colours along with the chakra in between must have been chosen with great care and thought by the people involved during the freedom struggle. The three colours in Indian National flag are orange, white and green. We all know what these colours represent. Saffron represents the sacrifice of martyrs, while white represent peace, unity and truth andgreen represents faith and prosperity.
But have your ever thought what does it mean to protect the national flag as the man in that video did? We all respect and honour national flag but is it a piece of cloth? Is it a piece of tri coloured paper? Or is it a tri coloured sticker, badge or any other thing to promote and advertise something. It is certainly not any of these.
These three colours are an integral part of our lives- We certainly need to honour and respect the sacrifice made by the freedom fighters, humans need to protect and work for the prosperity and what is it that binds sacrifice and prosperity is the white colour that is, peace, unity and truth. Truth is integrity, being true to your own self even when no one is watching you. Unity is having your all energies of body, mind and soul in a perfect alignment. If this is followed, peace comes in our beings just naturally. The chakra in between represents 'Dharma', 'Dharma' does not mean any specific religion, rather it means The Dharma, Our Duty as a Human Being. What are the fundamental duties of a human- to love, to care, to co exist, to be free, to live and let live. This is our 'Dharma'. This is what is our national flag. It represents all these beautiful and wonderful traits. And it truly means that to protect, to regard and to honour our national flag is - to develop, nurture and protect these perineal requisites of human life. The tri colour flag is the representation of these traits for sure.
So, let us all unfurl the tricolour in our own beings individually and take responsibility to develop, nurture and preserve the Sacrifice, Peace, Unity, Truth and our Dharma and then, Prosperity will just naturally flow through every human being on this earth. Let the tricolour unfurl high until eternity in the universe.
🇮🇳🇮🇳 Happy Independence Day !! 🇮🇳🇮🇳
May all beings be peaceful and loving in all ways always ♥️♥️😊😊
Aaj Krishna Janamashtami hai to socha ki apne Preetam Parmatma se puchu ki mere liye unka kya paigam hai aaj ke din.. kya batana, kya samjhana chahte hain wo mujhe, aur mujhe kya karna hai.. kese jeevan bitana hai.. To Piya ne bataya ki “Mai to khud hi maujood hu tumhare dil me, tumhari ruh me… Paigam ya message ya hidayatein to tab du jab mai dur hu aur tumhe mujhe kuch sikhana ya koi sandesh dena ho… "Mai hu" to kesa gyan, kesa paigaam, kesa sikhapan aur kesa jeevan.. Mai hu to bass Prem hai aur Mera hona hi Prem hai to ab kya sikhna hai aur… Kya Prem ke baad bhi kuch chahiye? Kya abhi bhi koi paigaam baaki hai? Jab ki paigaam wala to khud hi maujood hai, hazir nazir hai… “ Bass jab ye baat Piya ne hridaya se batayi to dil khushi se jhoom utha aur sirf andar prem ko aur unke hone ko mehsoos kiya ki han jab Preetam Parmatma khud hen to ab aur kuch nahi chahiye… ♥️♥️
“Tum aaye, sab aaya, dukh gaya sab dur…
Sukoon ki hawayein hain, aur Ishq hi meri ruh…” ♥️♥️

THE SONG OF LOVE
Let my life be spent in loving you, My Love
Let my each breath sing your glory and praise, Almighty above…
When it’s time for my last gasp waiting to strive

I sing the enchanting melody that pleases your heart and being with love and adoration….
No sorrow could touch your being, and May you always keep smiling, my dear….
My name is Love and I only long to be yours, as the offering of my invocation
I bow in honour of your sacred name, my only reverence of worship and devotion
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
♥️The Password to Meet God♥️
Every soul has been trying to access the unlimited power of Almighty to fulfil their desires, wants, needs. There has been a great evolution in both material and spiritual realm. When we are not able to succeed or be satisfied in the material aspect, we tread on the path of spirituality. Days and nights of labour by meditation, satsangs, yoga, sadhna, self control techniques, chants etc all are done with the sole purpose to attain power. Yes ! You might think that spiritual people do not want to attain power. But give it a thought- our spiritual masters guide us to do meditations, self control, chants and other things so that we might attain a higher consciousness which will be more powerful. There is nothing wrong in acquiring power except for the fact that your ego gets more strengthened in a very subtle way as your consciousness moves upward. We might desire to have knowledge of the entire mystery of universe, superior spiritual positions, name and fame attached to these superior positions and even so-called salvation or liberation. All this simply points towards one thing and that is Power. All these attainments only gives a sense of being more and more powerful. Here is the glitch ! Power is what is corrupting both the material and spiritual realm. We have abundance of motivational speakers and spiritual masters. Why a flood of such personalities? Simply because we do not take charge of our own lives and want to be dependent on these people who in turn either give us some fake consolations or some substantial positions in their so called ashrams and spiritual foundations, again to give some fodder to our ego. After all, your name is now attached to the famous and so called guruji. Just give adeeper thought to this mind made system. What are we making ourselves believe and do? Haven’t we got out of material filth and got caught into a more complex and believed cum approved trap which gives a more satisfaction to our mind and a very clean way to boost our ego?
THINK !!
The actual thirsty soul in search of Almighty God will not find relief in any such foundations and satsangs. He will never ever be in search for power, position, knowledge of this mysterious universe. After all, you are a mere human being with all the limitations, rigid conditions with a greed forbeing more powerful and you are challenging the Creator. Just think what are you doing?
Keep your hand on your heart and ask yourself, “Will I be satisfied even if I become the Master of this Universe? “
This question of being satisfied has been surrounding my soul since long. And today I thought of sharing it’s answer with you all. The answer to the deep satisfaction and the Crack Code to Almighty God is “LOVE”. At the end of the day, at the end of our life, we just want love. Love makes you feel safe, secured, protected and contended as if there is nothing left for you to attain in life. And this Love is already there in your very being, your heart, your soul. Love is the code between the Soul and God that works like a Password to access and meet God. Love is the master key of the universes and multiverses and whatever names could be given to all the supernatural powers. The deep longing of the soul is Love. Use this password with God and you will discover yourself amidst oceans of joy, happiness, eternity, contentment and abundance without any need for power.
Just Love God with all your heart, your soul, your being as He is your very own!! ❤️
Seeking Him from earth to sky, from what to why
From people to things, from thoughts within
From nature to beings, from seen to unseen
The search went on, the seeking was true
From the known to unknown and fonder it grew
The strife became harder and thirst became harsh
From music to silence and wisdom near and far
I kept on seeking Him in everything around
From noble deeds to prayers crying out aloud
The heart became empty of all that it owned
For that One, the yearning honed
I was left alone with the pangs of the painful heart
No traces could be found in the temples or in the synagogues
From letters to Psalms,
from books to reflections
Striving day and night for the special convocations
Nowhere He was found and mind became peaced
Tired and defeated, the wanderings ceased
The call could be heard clearer than before
The Timeless and Unending seeking was even more adored
Then came the answer, "I am not apart"
Heeds of your call have reached my heart
I am beyond your thoughts can think
Your mind can perceive and your emotions could sink
Like a pearl in the oyster, protected for thousands of years
I am in you, since timeless, my dear
Like almond is seeped into the hardest shell
I am beheld by your heart and there I dwell
Like fragrance of the blossoms, as ordinary and natural
Witnessed and felt by a few unusuals
The mantle has to uncover, and the flower has to bloom
The shell needs to break for the revelation of the perfume
The One you had yearned for, is now and here
Be still and know that you are that, my dear
Beyond all rules and beyond all barriers
I am in you, with you, for you forever and ever
The beauty and the miracle is this timeless Oneness
Embrace the Love to unite with Wholeness
Often we mistake love with wanting and possessing someone. The one whom we love should be with us giving all the attention to us. We want to spend time with our beloved, have deep talks, feel important etc etc… Is this love? This is a question of deep introspection. This only means "I am important and my needs and wants are important." which concludes that we only love ourelf, our mind and our wants. We often expect to keep our beloved happy in exchange of taking care of him/her. This is not love certainly!!
You might have also loved someone with all your heart without expecting anything in return and yet you are no longer with your beloved physically- miles apart and distant.
So what?
Have you ever thought why did your beloved not stay even though he/she acknowledged and cherished your love for him/her? Forget about destiny and other things. Let's look beyond destiny. Let's find out not the beloved but LOVE itself.
Loving the other might give you possession over the body, mind and time of your beloved. But what about love in your heart? Does that remain same? Don't we start complaining of always falling short of the love that we desire?
What about having not the beloved but being LOVE itself?
The beloved is sent away (due to any reason) for the sole purpose of making you meet your own heart that is Love itself. LOVE, not the pain or pleasure, not the emotion, not the act, not the trait, not the attachment, not the relationship, not the thoughts in the form of poetry etc., LOVE itself, that is beyond lovers and beloveds, that is Love in its existence that is constant and existent from times eternal, that is perineal and that is divine.
Love that exists even when no lovers were there and no lovers would be there.
Love, that is your very existence, not the body and not the mind, Love in its pure essence.
You are separated from your beloved to discover yourself, discover that you are Love. 😊
Love that is timeless, spaceless, causeless, without rules and boundaries.
Love -This is your true essence !!
And you were to settle on mere possession of your beloved?
Your true zenith is LOVE itself, my dear. You are not the lover or the beloved.
YOU are LOVE !! ♥️
Safety, security and protection is the only seeking of every soul on this planet. We build a strong house to live in, we earn money and save it for a secured future, we also strive to have security in relationships too. Any thought or belief that points towards safety and protection becomes very dear to us. We love someone and start expecting him/her to be our protector and guard or we may expect him/her to be loyal to us. But why? Why do we seek security. Are we so fearful that every time we need people, money, possessions, accomplishments, belief systems and relationships to make us feel secured or else fear will surround our minds and will overpower our being. That means we are not social beings, weare fearful beings. Fear rules human minds yet we seek love and protection. What is fear? Lets ponder ! Fear is a strong emotion about the future that takes the form of a thought and keeps circling inside our minds. And we, the beings get so trapped in this emotion-thought matrix that we forget our true self and feel lost, fearful, unsafe, worried, anxious and even sinking too. We all have faced such emotional roller coaster rides. So what to do? Ruled by fear, wekeep seeking love and protection. And then, a few who can gather strength to come out of this trap create another deep emotion and thought about God, mostly as a saviour, protector, Supreme Guard, Forgiver and the Most Compassionate. Which means to curb an fearful emotion, our mind creates another emotion of devotion and tries to lay it’s trust in this thought -emotion to again feel secured and protected and loved. Mind cretes an emotion of fear and then mind only creates an emotion of devotion- a split, a duality in our minds. Who is fearful of whom? Who is protecting whom? Have you ever thought?
What leads to fear? Let’s find out. Suppose I have participated in a race and I get anxious of the result. Will I win or lose? I am fearful about future- that means the result or consequence, which means I am fixed to a specific result or consequence. This also clarifies that mind feels itself safe and secured in a specific situation which it thinks is safe for it. Reality is though not known as to whether the result or situation that our mind thinks is good for it is actually good for it or not. This means that mindputs it’s trust in an imaginary situation which has no connection with reality. Just because the mind has imagined it to be safe. Now, if that result is achieved, mind feels safe and protected which is again just another feeling or thought which has no connection with reality because the result achieved may or may not prove to be good for that particular person. It simply means that mind keeps finding security in its own made up beliefs and finds safety there. Don’t you think that it’s all an illusion that keeps driving us blindly in our lives without ever knowing what actually is happening to us?
The question now is are we actually safe, secured and protected? But before this, let us find out who needs safety and protection- body? Body is already safe. We all live in conducive houses in urban or rural areas protected from all sorts of dangers that we can and yet, natural damgersa cannot be prevented. Body needs food, water, shelter, clothes, medication if need be and it is safe. Who needs protection- mind? What is mind? Mind is simply a bunch or a collection of memories, thoughts, emotions and beliefs, already fixed in a specific formats and patterns with all sorts of limitations. And it feel safe within these limitations which are safe and different as per different human minds.
So how toknow the authenticity of protection and safety? Humans live on this planet in such a vast universe with no safeguards, no surety and no guarantee of anything in life and yet mind has always been seeking protection. If we dig deep into the seeking of protection, we will find the search for permanence by our mind. This permanence is the yearning of every soul which is reflected in the mirror of mind in the form of thoughts and emotions. We seek permanence in objects as we want them to be durable, permanence in relationships as we want them to be loyal and long lasting, we follow religious beliefs so that we are sure of the permanence of our actual self- life after death, salvation, enlightenment, spirituality. All these are simply a quest for Permanence. And the feeling of lackness or shortage of anything feels insecure, unsafe and all this causes fear.
However, knowing the laws of nature, this universe and impermanence of life, we need to think deeply if we can actually find permanence in whatever we have. Fear will again take over the moment we have a thought of losing anything. Hence, doesn’t it imply that all the havings can and will be lost some or the other day irrespective of the mind being fearful or not. Havings will always come and go. These havings could be people, objects, relationships, money, possessions, position, beliefs, emotions, thoughts, experiences and finally our body. So it means that fear is always of losing these Havings. Whatever we have could be lost or gained. But who we are can neither be lost nor gained. Being is the Only Reality in this universe. Being means Soul, that is Life itself. Life can have or have not but Life will always be. There is no way of losing Soul, The Life as it was, is and will always be independent of time , form, nameand space. The Life is Eternal and we are The Life. And The Life can never be lost !! 🤗
Spirituality or the path of awakening is not about never making mistakes in life and only succeeding or may be, we think that on the path of spirituality, we shall be safe and secured and we have enough knowledge and teachings and we are following it to the best of our abilities. To have knowledge is often perceived as awakening. But No! Awakening is a different phenomenon. It’s a transmutation and transformation on the inside that takes place at a very deep level. Despite the best of your efforts, you often see yourself failing, falling and defeated and the dark thoughts of despair surround you from all sides. Amidst these darkest thoughts, there comes a silver lining that shows you your dark side. Yes ! It’s not about feeling low and dark. It’s about realising your own dark side that transcends you and raises you above the game of success and failure. This moment of insightful flash is the moment of realization which is a new you, the true you, the pure you, that is free from all dark thoughts and emotions. Outwardly, you may seem to fail or fall, but on the inside, you have outgrown your older version and evolved to a higher level of your true self. So why worry about defeat and despair, darkness and void, falling and failing, “You” are beyond failure and success and these times bring you closer to your original self, your true essence and free you from all. And then you realize that what failure has given you, success could never had. This is when you embrace all your dark side and defeats for pushing you to meet your true self. 🤗♥️
One of the most difficult thing in life is to love yourself and yet the easiest one is also the same 😊
At times, I think have I ever loved someone really? There have been quite a number of relationships in my life but to introspect it deeply, I find that none of us love any one in this world. We just love our desires, our wants, our cravings and our ego. The self made patterns of ideas are the only thing that we love. When we claim that we love someone, try to find out… who do we love? Do we love that person actually? Then he/she may do what they feel like.. they may stay with whosoever, they may like us or not, they may hate us even, they may think and do whatever. Why do we try to impose our choices and decisions on them? Is this love? We have heartbreaks when the person leaves us or betrays us. Have you ever thought whom do we love? Do we love the person or the idea (mental image) of that person?
We also claim that we love our children. Do we allow them to live their own life or again we impose our beliefs and opinions on them and try to carve their life as per our own desire? If not, then why do we create distance when our children do not follow our sayings? Do we love our beliefs and opinions more than our children?
We also claim that we love ourselves. You all could think “I love myself, therefore, I do everything for the benefit of my life.“ How often do you take things lightly when you commit mistakes and do not have the feeling of guilt, shame, inferiority, comparison, competition, jealousy, self condemnation? None of us can say that I have not gone through these emotions and thoughts. Is this loving yourself?
Irony is that we, humans have never loved anyone, never ever... And we want love and we claim that we love… Yet we talk only of love, we create profound poetry of love, our most astounding love stories have hit movie theatres and won awards, we have been singing songs of love and what not.
This rendezvous of the above posed questions about Love with my true self made realize that no human has ever loved anyone or anything.
Reason? The answer is simple. Only the one who can love his own self can love others too. One who has seen all of his gruesome and nasty faces with eyes wide open and yet has accepted himself or herself unconditionally can only know of Self-Love. The one who has accepted himself unconditionally can only accept anyone else irrespective of the other person's nasty faces.
And what is Love actually?
"To love means to accept someone as your own part unconditionally, without being judgmental. To love is to accept unconditionally !!
TO LOVE MEANS TO RECOGNISE YOURSELF IN THE OTHER 😊"
Believe me, the entire universe is waiting your Love, your acceptance.
Embrace all your imperfections wholeheartedly and then you will know what Self-Love is, or rather, I should say, then you will know what actually is Love… .. ❤️😊
It is we who give power to people, objects, situations and even to our thoughts and emotions. Without our power, all these do not exist, they hold no entity. It’s we who have all the power ! We all have our own world and our own universe. Our world consists of people, objects, situations, possessions etc. And our universe consists of our belief systems, our opinions and views, habits, tendencies, emotions, etc But all of this have their root in our mind. These roots get nourishment from our belief and the belief gets power through us. The moment you find a tear in your eye or a disturbing thought or emotion inside related to anything or anyone, understand that you have put your power into it. And that it ceases to exist without your own power. Take back all your power into whatever you have put – be it posessions, relationships, beliefs, habits, views and thoughts, emotions. Nothing has the power except you. You are the Master of your life, your Universe. Do not let your universe rule you. Know that You have The Power, You are independent of all that is except you, and that You remain untouched and unaffected by anything. There is no possibility of you being powerless unless you yourself give your power to anything that you want to. Be the Master of Your Universe and realize that You are The Power ! 🤗❤️🌹
Questioning means doubt and doubt always arises where there is incompleteness, fragmentation, partial (in parts) or lacking … It’s this that gives rise to doubt and questioning… wherever there is wholesomeness, completeness, there cannot be any doubt… wholesomeness always consumes .. it is much much vast or gigantic or cosmic that it takes into account everything- everything also includes nothingness… So, "Inclusiveness is Absolute", which is the only way out of doubt and questioning… mind is a bundle of doubts and questions because mind means part, partial, incompleteness that is, it only considers a part of its own subjective experience about life and remains deprived of the totality of this existence. That is why, have you ever noticed that mind only sticks to certain people, places, things, thoughts, emotions and situations… it keeps revolving both inside and outside a fixed area or field of its own made-up images and boundaries which become its comfort zone or residence… both inside and outside… mind always believes to function in duality- right and wrong, mine and yours, pleasure and pain… it always fails to see the life in its completeness… it functions in fragments of these two polarities… hence it keeps attracting and resisting as per its own choices, as per its own subjective and partial experiences... Mind is always dissatisfied because it is made up of doubts and questions... Doubts and questions can never let there be peace and satisfaction, for the sole reason of looking at the subjective, that is, partial reality…. And life exists in the absoluteness of everything that is. Once this fragmented way of looking at life, dissolves, and there is no mine and yours, there will be no right and wrong and there will neither be pleasure and pain. Then, mind will also be no longer there because mind exists only in doubts and questions… "No doubt means No mind."And there will be Only Life, Only Love, Pure Existence- Absolute and Whole.... And this is what you are ! Your real essence is !
Drop all the doubts, all the questions and know that-
I am Absolute ♥️
I am Love ♥️
I am Life ♥️
😊♥️Our essence is Love ♥️😊
😊♥️Our essence is Life ♥️😊
What is the truth of life? We all have different stories. Each one of us live a different reality of the same life- human life. Every one of us live a different story which is our reality. My reality or my story is different from yours. There may be a couple of chapters that may match with someone's story but we all have a our own stories to live. What is the truth then? What is the Real then? I was watching a series on web and a scene just opened the lock to this door. We always consider that thing or experience as real that we have lived or most of us have lived. Majority wins after all !! Nevertheless, this scene just made me think and ponder around what is actually real in this life. And it started unfolding.
We all know there are two aspects of every story- the story and the one whose story it is that is, The Story means Object and the one whose story it is, can be called the Subject. We all have studied Grammar in school. But have you ever thought what is this Grammar teaching or conveying to us? Let me explain. Grammar always talks about a Subject and an Object. Rest all parts of speech depend upon the Subject. Let me explain you with this example of a simple sentence - "Ram felt happy to draw a picture." Here, Ram is the Subject, means, the doer of the action. Action is to draw that is Verb. Picture is the Object. How is Ram – happy that is the Adjective. Everything that is happening in the story of this one line depend upon the Subject – Ram. The action depends upon Ram, the kind of picture depends upon Ram. How to feel depends upon Ram etc etc. The Objects holds no independent reality here in this story of one line. It entirely depends upon the Subject – Ram. Whatever he chooses to do, think, feel, react, perform wil happen. The way he chooses to do, react, think, feel, perform also depends on the Subject. Which clearly means that Ram will have his own reality which might be different from any other Subject's reality. And this clarifies that Object has no reality of its own in the story, even if it has, that is universal reality and not Subjective Reality. Subjective Reality is only of a particular Subject as in this case, Ram's reality is that he feels happy to draw a picture. Now picture which is the Object doesn’t do anything to make Ram happy or sad. It’s Ram's choice to be happy in such a situation. Picture as an Object has only this much reality that it’s a picture, a drawing, a piece of art. Everything apart from this is Subjective Reality. Even the reality that it’s a picture or a piece of art is the Subjective Reality from the point of view of Ram as a human. A piece of art can only make a human happy or sad. No animal or non living thing or atom will feel so. So, there is No Objective Reality in this life. We all live our own stories, our own Subjective Realities. So why compare with the others' stories? Why label the Objects as per our own story? Why blame the Objects? Why crave and chase Objects when we know that we are the creator of our own story? Why not create a story that you want to live? Why not work on The Subject in your every new chapter ? And then you will see that You will no more remain the Subject, rather, you will discover yourself as the Creator of your own story called Life. Start now !❤️🤗
