OBSTACLES AND SMILE

OBSTACLES AND SMILE

The whole life is full of obstacles.  Obstacles of any kind do have a positive purpose.  Any kind of obstacles in our life does jolt us out of our snug and comfortable life. They make us think and act differently; they do help us become better people.  Everyone faces obstacles in life.  The most obvious one are physical but mental and emotional obstacles are as difficult to overcome.  One always admires people who have had a tough life but come through stronger and better.  We should have enough faith and strength to handle them.  Whenever in tight situation, remember to say this too shall pass and it will by the grace of God.

This life is for celebration. Enjoy yourself every moment of life.  The only aim of a Sadhak is to remain happy, smiling and enjoying in every situation of life.  Such Sadhak distributes the smile all over wherever he goes.          

If you see special and attractive flowers on a tree and you want similar flowers on another tree, your outside trial will not serve the purpose.  You will have to make a search for seeds of that tree.  The seed when sown in earth only can give you the flower of your choice.  Therefore, the source is very important.

MEDITATION SATGURU ARCHNA DIDI SAYS, howsoever, you may try to bring smile from outside on your face, but when you are meditating, you are nearer to the Parmatama, and you feel inner joy and happiness.   You enjoy every moment of life.  Then the heart is filled with peace, holiness and enjoyment.  This situation of the mind comes automatically in the form of a smile on the face.  It happens at its own and not from any outside thrust.  Go upto the source, go down deeply in meditation, you will find that you get answers to your questions.

THOUGHT POWER

THOUGHT POWER

A person’s life is regarded for prime deeds.  Whatever he does, in the same coin he gets fruit from the nature and God. The base of this world is Karma principle.  Life of man is the collection of his Karmas only.  That’s why from the very childhood, one is provided with basic and elementary education to do good deeds and be cautious of bad ones. 

Have you ever thought as to what is the actual base of Karma?  If a person always does good deeds, what’s the meaning of it?  And if a person is always lost in bad deeds, what is the reason behind it?  What is that on which depends the Karma of a person. That power is ‘thought power’.  Whatever thoughts a man has, he performs similar deeds.   Man’s thoughts are reflected in his doings.  First of all, he thinks, considers and thereafter makes use of those thoughts in final doings.  Therefore, for the progress of man, it is necessary that his thoughts should be virtuous, pure and positive.  It is also necessary for the progress of man’s society that his thoughts should be upgraded.  Whatever the atmosphere we see in the society like violence, barbarity, panic, terrorism and unrest, it is all the result of man’s defective thoughts and corrupt mind.  Hence one’s mind and thoughts are turned into distorted deeds.  So, one should always keep one’s thoughts pious and auspicious.

For this, it is necessary that one should have sanctified, amatory thoughts and good atmosphere in the family,  should sit and work with people of pious thoughts, do friendship with people of excellent thinking, read good and religious books, be cautious, attentive at every moment and the most important of all is to be with MEDITATION SADDGURU ARCHNA DIDI and follow her instructions.  Do chanting, perform meditation, practice Sadhana, and try to keep the mind sacred by way of Bhakti.

When one keeps his mind pious, his thoughts naturally also become sacred and his doings continue to go on the better path.  If one’s act is a tree then his thought is seed.  From mango seed you get mango tree but from the acacia seed you get acacia tree.  In the same way, with nice thoughts, you have base of good deeds and from bad thoughts bad deeds.  A seed looks to be very small and simple but the nature has provided it strength to germinate a big tree.  Similarly it looks that our thoughts are not very important but in reality they are equipped with so much strength that they are the base for virtuous and undesired thoughts. Thought power itself is strength.

When a person comes under the refuge of DIDI, first of all there is magnetic change in his thoughts.  Sadguru works on a very molecule stage and inculcate in him, thought revolution.  The pious mind and sacred thoughts are the result of Sadguru umbrella. Meditation, Bhakti, Sadhana and Sadguru instructions improves his thoughts, make him totally pure and his life starts progressing.   When one’s thoughts become pure, all the persons coming in his contact also get affected and change is felt in their thoughts also. In this way, this fragrance continues to diverge everywhere.

Especially, in this time when a person’s thoughts look to be very much contaminated and distorted, our duty is  to purify, super-late our thoughts and make the society pious so that the world’s society may march on the path of promotion and the society becomes free of morbid thoughts.

FROM KARMA TO MOKSHA

FROM KARMA TO MOKSHA

Karma is the Hindu belief that a person's actions in life will determine their fate in the next life. It means life is entirely your making. Consciousness is like the voltage of a light bulb. If you crank up the voltage, it  shows you everything. If you lower the voltage, it only shows you a little. If you make your life energies very intense, consciousness will burn within you. Life is not only in you, it is outside of you too. That is why you are breathing in and breathing out. You cannot exist without that. Essentially, what you call life is all - pervading. It behaves according to whatever kind of information it gets trapped with. That is what we refer to as Karma. Your thoughts and feelings shape the world within you. Your words and actions shape the world around you. It is  intention that creates Karma. Good intentions will always create Good Karma. It is your intention that invokes Karma, good or bad.  No one can violate Nature's Law of Karma. Karma is your bond to the past. It teaches you and makes your knowledge of the world more complete. A Karmic experience allows you to reflect and correct your mistakes.

YOUR FUTURE IS AN ECHO OF YOUR PAST :

- Don't judge anyone. Accept others as they are.

- Forgiveness relieves you from pain. It takes a great person to forgive. Great things happen to those who forgive.

- Be grateful. Express your gratitude. It will give you inner peace.

- The good and bad you see in others also exists in you. Always look for the good in everyone.

- If you radiate happiness and positive energy then that is what you will receive back. Give love and love comes back to you.

- The way others behave towards you is their Karma. The way you respond will determine your Karma.

The Law of Karma transforms you into a better person. Kindness is the most valuable gift you can give to someone. The most important part of your life will be unseen random acts of kindness you performed.

YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR KARMA :

Yes you cannot stop karma but you can change the direction of your Karma. Anything you did in your past can be undone by doing good now. If you want forgiveness for your actions you must first take responsibility for them. If you ever harmed anyone, ask them for forgiveness. Their forgiveness will dissolve any bad Karma and turn it into Good karma.

- Do not seek revenge. Allow the universe to use its infinite powers to help you.

- Be kind to those who are unkind and angry. All life is expression. Destroy your enemies and make them friends.

- Negativity is a sign of jealousy.

Forgiving jealousy is good Karma. Have respect for their jealousy as they think so highly of you.

There are four goals of human life - KAMA,  ARTHA,  DHARMA AND MOKSHA.
Kama refers to the desires of the mind and the physical body. It is the Human desire for Passion and Emotion.

Artha can be translated as wealth and power. It is the second goal of life.
Dharma refers to moral duties, obligations and conduct.

Moksha means Liberation from the web of Maya, freedom from the cycles of birth and death and the experiences of divine happiness. This is the ultimate goal of human life. It is achieved through taking the refuge of God or a God realized Guru.

With the grace of SADGURU ARCHNA DIDIJI, one can become free from the bondage or Maya and is blessed with self realization and god realization.

HARI OM

TIME MANAGEMENT – FOR STUDENTS

TIME MANAGEMENT – FOR STUDENTS

As we give importance to wealth, we need to give due importance to time also. Time scores above wealth. Lost money can be earned again but not lost time.  MEDITATION GURU ARCHNA DIDI advice to students is to make best use of every moment available with them. DIDI insists, If you focus on following aspects, you can increase your capability manifold by proper time-management:-

1. Make a ‘To do list’:  Make a list of all tasks priority-wise which you wish to complete in the entire day either in the morning or in the evening or before going to bed. Most essential parts should come first in order and least important at the end.  You may make use of the planner.

2. Time Table:  Allocate time proportionately subject-wise, like morning slots to difficult subjects requiring more attention.  Draw a time-table accordingly. 

3. Realistic Goals:  Allot realistic and achievable goals.  Setting goals too high may ultimately result in failure and disappointment.  So goals should be realistic.

4. Dead Line:  Allot a dead-line for completing task.  Always keep in mind this dead line before the start of a task. This way your tasks will be easily completed in lesser time.

5. Flexibility:  Try to follow your set time-table.  But there could be occasions when sudden additional work may have to be completed.  Keep margin of adjustment. 
6. Apprising your Friends:  It is a good strategy to keep your friends, brothers and sisters informed about your time-schedule.

7. Fixed Time:  Adhere to fix place for study and fixed time allotted for starting your activity.  Your sub-conscious mind will slowly get adjusted to the time and place of your study.  

8. Do not Loose Time in Unnecessary Worry:  If for any reason you could not complete any earmarked task, do not waste time worrying about it.  Complete it at this moment only.  Avoid postponing the work to future date.

9. Making Use of Extra Time:  Get into the habit of making use of extra-time available with you like waiting for your teacher or while standing in a queue or waiting for arrival of friend or going to his place or  travelling by bus or car.

10. Improve Habits:  Identify those activities which are wasteful.  For example, you have over spent your time with your friends or wasted too much time by talking on phone; make it a rule not to talk to anybody when you are studying.

11. Self-Control:  Unnecessary talks, too much net-surfing, too much playing and excessive sleeping are the activities that need to be watched and controlled. Put a check on yourself and leave that activity.

MEDITATION – AN EXPERIENCE

MEDITATION – AN EXPERIENCE

The philosophy, knowledge, meditation, psychology and life experiences of India have always remained Darshanik and respectable throughout the world.  Our sages, yogis and tapasavies are great men.  Whatever knowledge, feelings and experiences they acquired after their Sadhana are the reflections of their supreme abode.   Our epics, Granths, Shastras and books are full of spiritual education.  Books like Vedas, Upanishadas, Geeta, Ramayana, Puranas etc. are full of high educative knowledge regarding Atma-Parmatama, spirituality, life and death.  Reading, learning and experimenting these holy books scriptures, we come to know that in addition to this world which we see with the naked eyes, there is another deep world away from us.    We are not a body but a soul. The entire creation is permeated by Him.  Our journey is not of this body but of soul.  Body is perishable and subject to change but the soul never dies and is stern.  This is the real content knowledge in India, also the two eternal paths of light & darkness.  Former leads to Mukti and the latter leads to rebirth.

The most important thing is that it is not enough that we should have bookish knowledge of these subjects but should have experimental and Shabdik knowledge also.   This knowledge could be a matter of discussion but cannot provide us real experience.  Whatever the try we make, we do remain only on the body lining and do not go up to soul lining.  However thoroughly we may go through books on Atama, Parmatama and educate ourselves by reading the Granthas, we cannot reach to the eternity.  It is all only a bookish knowledge and of the words being up and down only. 

There is one and only one way to reach level of Atama i.e. through Sadhana, meditation, the path of Bhakti and Jap-Tap.  The worship of God as a person stimulates divine love that rouses Self-consciousness and experience of unity in due course of time.  The Lord is easily attracted by the magnet of devotion. It opens the way from Sathul Sareer to Suksham Sareer.  The grace of God is triggered when one becomes firmly convinced that he or she is not the doer.  Then he at once attains Jivana-mukti or free in this vey life. To bring bookish knowledge in Anubhuti is only attained through Meditation. 

Suppose you have read many books on preparation of food, ingredients, minerals, their digestion, tasteful and favorite foodies but you neither prepare nor taste or eat them, then what is the use of reading those books.  All this will not pacify your inner desire and also will not be able to get taste and enjoyment of all.  Only reading of books is not sufficient but useful is the tips and words printed in them provided they come into your experience.  You may have read about the preparation and ingredients required for sweets but you cannot feel the taste unless you eat them.   Then only it becomes your experience.  The same theory applies to each and every subject.

Spiritual progress is possible only when your deep knowledge of Holy books, Granths make way through meditation to your inner soul.  If on gaining the bookish knowledge, you feel and show to others that you have become Giyani, it’s a big mistake.  In that way you will not get spiritual progress but get declined.  The knowledge contained in our religious books is for our progress and not for decline.  To bring that knowledge into action, it is necessary that we walk into meditative stage.  While travelling inside your body through meditation, we enter into the world of Anubhuties.  As slowly our heart becomes pious, we go on slipping into meditation.  All Suksham doors before us just go on opening.  We are filled with surprise that the world of Atama and Pramatama is so wonderful, beautiful and tasteful. 

But you can only enter into the said meditative stage by the good grace of Satguru, by his blessings and by his Anukampa. The field of meditation is such where the blessings of Satguru work and not the efforts of Sadhak.  The Sadhak should only gear in; all efforts to surrender before the Sadguru by full hundred percent faith and respect. 

As soon as he becomes capable disciple, Sadhak and humble servant, the door of MEDITATION SATGURU ARCHNA DIDI opens up and her Kirpa is showered.   He/she enters into the Divaya world of meditation and goes on progressing step by step.  Then the knowledge of Granths, Atama Pramatma, Suksham world, and Chakra Anusandhan etc only remain as a word and becomes his/her experiences.  A new chapter of life starts.  May DIDI and GOD bless you to become good Sadhak and good person. May all of you enter into Adhayatam, Dhayan and your life become righteous.

WAKE UP INSIDE DEVTAV

WAKE UP INSIDE DEVTAV

We have been reading and hearing many stories from the very childhood where we find war between Devtas and Asuras.  By hearing and reading these stories we are surprised to note the nature of Asuras as to how one could do such an undesired and irrelevant works.  At the end of the story when we come to know that particular Devta killed particular Asura at last, we feel great happiness in our mind.

Have you ever thought of these stories seriously?  If you go deeply into these, you will find that these Devtas and Asuras are no other than like the currents rising up in the mind of man i.e. of Devta and Asura’s strength. Lord Krishna has made a mention of these in the Bhagvad Geeta.  Both Devtas and Asuras are present in our mind.    Always, in our life, both go on fighting themselves at every moment.  Meaning of Devta is: Satvik situation of our mind, goodness’s, glorious thoughts, good deeds, piousness, courage, hard work, love, prayer, Sadhana, devotion, sacrifice and peacefulness.  These are our properties as well the inner state of mind.  On the other hand, meaning of Assuras is: the state of our Tamsik mind, undesired thoughts, laziness, unrealistic, quarrelsome, anger, hate, mischief, deceiving, altering, lying, drunkenness, rejection, leisure, defeat etc.  These are the properties of Assuras in our inner state.

All the time and on every turning point in life, there is battle between the two.  When there is a state of Devtas defeating Assuras power, we are near the Guru and God.  On the other hand, when there is a state of Assuras defeating Devtavs, we are away from Guru and God.  Try to understand this with an example.  When in the morning, moon and stars are setting, singing of birds is heard, the sleeping eyes open up, a feeling inside of the sign of morning rising up - this is the time when there is a fight between Devtas and Assuras.  The beauty of morning has its own importance.  In all direction, chanting of Mantras, Dhayana, Japas and Bhakti are in progress yet on the other hand sleep has its own attraction, lazy eyes open and close.  There is a kind of fight inside.  The mind wants to leave the bed, get up, take the bath, and perform Dhayana & Puja. On the other hand, the state of Assuras pressurizes again to go to sleep. This state is carried on to some extent.  The person whose state of Devtas win, he leaves the bed and gets up but whose Assuras win, he goes to sleep again even with open eyes, rejecting the signals inside.  His hands are empty both by way of loosing morning time as well as health.

Lucky are those people whose inside fight leads to the state of Devtav i.e. they go on reaching near the God.   Those who are attracted by Assuras state are also of two types.  One’s who feel bad in mind for the state of their sleepy nature but assure themselves to win over it in future.  Others, who are only satisfied with their state of Assuras or you can say there was no fight inside their mind.  They are happy with un-education, laziness, un-peacefulness etc.  The signs of progress in their life are dumped. In fact, the man has been blessed with this life to become Devta and not Assura.  Therefore the inside Devtav should be woken up.
