IMBIBING VALUES - CHEERFULNESS IS THE EVIDENCE OF ALL VALUES




  CHEERFULNESS IS THE EVIDENCE OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES



  HEALING YOUR PAIN

A doctor or a surgeon, can repair a damaged heart, but never repair a broken heart. But if you live long enough with a broken heart then you will definitely end up with a damaged heart. 

It is only YOU, who can do this. Of course a healer can help and assist.  When you discover that something is broken in your life, mind, heart, or spirit, you must go deep down, to find out the cause of the breakage. So you open up the component, examine it minutely; find the origin of the breakage or malfunction. Then, you decide to fix it or replace it. If fixing is needed, got to do it very carefully, delicately and give it a test run.  Otherwise throw it away and replace it. Clean up the place, it once occupied. This is called Closure. It is a prerequisite, for HEALING. Many times, when love or lack of love, breaks our hearts, we allow our hearts to become brittle, hard and we close up, totally. We do not have to be so harsh, on our selves. For your own sanity, accept it. It is another lesson to be learnt. The trick is, to LET GO.

Letting go, is accepting, learning and experiencing it, as you grow up.
Letting go, is to be thankful for the experience that made you laugh and cry.
To let go, is to cherish the memories, to over come and move on. 
To let go, is not, thinking sad thoughts, and forgetting.
It is having an open mind and confidence in the future.
It is neither winning or loosing, nor giving in.
It is not about pride and how you appear.
It is not obsessing or dwelling in the past.
It should not leave feelings of emptiness, hurt, sadness, jealousy, or regret.
It is certainly about you; all you have had and will have, soon again.

LOVE WILL COME BACK FOR SURE

Have the courage to accept change and summon up strength, to keep moving on. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. Love is not a thing or a material object, which can be lost, when given. It is like an ocean. It is bound to come back, if you allow it. Be prepared to open a door, clear a path, and set yourself free. Break up! No, never. You have to do it gently, respect fully, do not be hard on yourself and the other person. Don’t fight sadness. Try to make it go away. Welcome it, indulge in it, feel it. Buy yellow roses as friendship signal and become stronger.                             

PAIN IS A SIGNAL FOR ACTION  - NOT TYLENOL 

Pain and suffering is inevitable in this world, but being miserable is optional. This brings the ball back into your coat. Pain in the human body is a signal for action. Physical harm or hurt, like an injury or a disease will cause severe pain. Now, is the time to get a doctor to make a house call on you? The doctor will examine you thoroughly and conduct a couple of tests, to make sure what and where the malady lies. If the results of the tests are positive, the doctor will take corrective action and fix your problem. If the results of the tests are negative, you are stuck with a bigger problem, which this doctor cannot fix.  It is chronic pain syndrome. Chronic pain is long lasting, irritant, dis-enabling you, from doing your normal social activities: working a job, loss of memory, upset appetite, sleeplessness, perpetual fatigue, slowing down in movements, saying no to sexual pleasures and missing out on laughter and joy, which life has to offer. Your cognition, about chronic pain is fundamental to this cause.                                     

In the primitive days, pain was associated with evil spirits.
In the Judaeo-Christian era, pain was accepted as punishment for sins.  
In Greece, pain is taken up as a challenge to deal with.
In China, pain is identified with imbalance in Yin-Yang energies.
Today, pain is the basis of disease-medicine model for doctors.

  CRYING OUT

Crying is therapeutic. Tears contain seeds of healing. Through crying we get in touch with those experiences that we have forgotten, hidden, buried away in the pit of our souls. There are many different varieties of tears.                    

TEARS UNSHED

Unshed tears get caught in our throats, making it hard for us to speak our truth, express honestly and move on. Babies cry when they are hungry, scared and cold. They cry when they think they are alone or about to be harmed. If you don’t kiss them before you put them to sleep they will cry themselves to sleep. Babies cry when their mothers die, and fathers leave them. They cry silently when you lock them up in the closets and beat them up, or when they believe that you love other babies more than you love them. Lastly if you tell babies not to cry then they will end up in a Mental Institution.                                                                  

TEARS OF ANGER

The origin of angry tears is in the Ego. They create heat and stiffness in the body, shattering our image. Angry tears originate from the outside corner of the eyes. They are easier to wipe away. They occur at unexpected moments or inappropriate times. Anger is not acceptable in public, hence held back, because it reveals our vulnerability. We as children are wrongly taught that boys don’t cry and we grow up with this belief. 

TEARS OF SADNESS

Sad tears come from the heart. They create bending of the shoulders and drooping of the head. Sad tears originate from the inside corner of the eyes. They find their way across your nose, cheeks, lips and you lick them.

TEARS OF FRIGHT

Frightened tears originate from the soles of our feet and shoot up through the body to create trembling, shaking in the whole body. The chief cause is fear. These tears originate from the entire eyes. They are big tears and well up clouding our vision and thinking. 

TEARS OF SHAME

Shame filled tears originate from the pit of our stomach, causing us to bend in anguish. They fall when we judge, criticize, or beat up ourselves. 

TEARS OF COMBINATION

Finally we have the combination tears. They are all of the above. They have the stiffness of anger, drooping of sadness, trembling of fear, and bending of shame. You get cold and nauseated. Women handle crying and tears better than men can do.  Men have to learn this particular lesson from women.  
                      
CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROME

When you continue to accept your cognition of pain syndrome, the pain persists and gets you into a vicious loop. Doubting emotions are self fulfilling beliefs. First you loose hope and then loose control over self. The next set of emotions that take over, are anxiety, anger, revenge, for the person who you think, is responsible for your pain, depression, despondency, and finally frustration. All this is in your mind. 

VISIBLE MANNERISMS TO HARNESS PITY / ATTENTION

The experts call it cognition dissonance. It is your inner turmoil resulting from contradictions in personal beliefs and behavior. Cognitive behavior embraces a whole range of mannerisms. You become visible to others, by using supports, canes, crutches, chairs. You also use rubbing, frowning, twitching, jerking, sighing, to draw attention. You voice yourself by moaning, complaining and verbalizing. When you are all alone you reinforce the thoughts by silly self-talk in your head. Why me? The pain hurts and hurts badly. The mind helps the body cooperate, by the absence of all brain-chemicals specially, endorphin's

SELF TALK & SELF ESTEEM

Chronic pain management encompasses three primary stages. Cognitive restructuring, is achieved by asserting yourself positively. You stop self-talk thoughts, by giving a command to self. Gradually you become useful, thus boosting up your self-esteem, to get out of the loop. Relaxation and deep breathing are recommended as the second step.  Self-hypnosis, by visualizing on pleasant events, helps on mental level. Lastly you must exercise to release brain chemicals in the system. Exercising additionally helps reconditions your muscles, tissues and stamina on the physical level.  

HUMOR IS ESSENTIAL
His world drama is the biggest comic play ever scripted. Unfortunately it is not directed by HIM. It is directed by TIME & KARMA - go figure.
Lucky is the man who can laugh on himself, for he shall never cease to be amused. 
ACCEPTANCE IS THE KEY - not only about local issues but global ones too.  
Get comfortable with yourself and your opinions about life. Everyone has opinions about life & in many cases, opinions can be humorous to other people. People who are naturally humorous are typically willing to find humor in both themselves and their opinions. If you are too uptight or self-conscious, it will be difficult to find humor in such things. Good-humored individuals embrace their flaws and laugh them off & let them go in a healthy way. Self-acceptance is the key to a happier life. It takes a lot of mental energy to come up with quick-witted quips that keep grins on others' faces. Those who have a good sense of humor tend to be more creative.  

A good sense of humor responds to the flow of conversation in ways that are creative entertaining. A good sense of humor means you can see things from different sides, angles, & in different ways.  There's a strong connection between humor and creativity.  Basically, everyone likes a good laugh. Having a sense of humor will help you breeze through the toughest periods of your life. It is desirable attractive, because just like optimism, not everyone has it, but everyone desires it.


Sense of humor is the most important human quality. A positive outlook & a sense of humor are the top attributes cited by people who are looking for a spouse / mate. 

Moreover, having a good sense of humor helps you to stay healthy emotionally, first & physically automatically. Humor helps you to release stress & to keep an optimistic attitude. When you feel anxious or sad, a good laughter can lighten your mood. 

Life is better when you are laughing. No one knows that more than good-humored individuals. Those who have a good sense of humor not only see the value in making others laugh, but they prioritize laughter themselves. As a result, they're healthier and happier for it. Smiling instantly boosts your moods. Laughing can soothe tensions & melt stress. That light-hearted attitude does help you live longer. Bring it on, birthdays.


WIT IS TOTAL ALERTNESS & CREATIVE THINKING
Wit is a form of intelligent humor, the ability to say  things that are clever & funny. A Witty person is skilled at making such remarks. Varieties of wit include the quip, repartee, pun & wisecrack. Wit involves a very quick mental sharpness, being able to see a situation in a unique way & instinctively  respond with a relevant comment or come back. Puns jump from one context to another by using different meanings of a single word. 

Fruit flies like bananas.
Time flies like an arrow.


LAUGHTER TRULY IS THE BEST MEDICINE - EXTERNAL MATTER  
Humor always involves amusement outwardly manifested by a smile, chuckle or laughter. But what are all those chuckles actually doing for your body? People who have a good sense of humor use it to their advantage. Those giggles stimulate the organs, improve the immune system & well being.
It takes merely 4 Risorius muscles to SMILE & 44 Zygomaticus muscles to FROWN. A full blown laughter uses 317 muscles in the body. Medically speaking Laughter is the noise you produce with partially closed vocal chords. 

For many of us, laughter is a perfectly normal part of human existence: it helps us build relationships, generates good brain chemicals, like endorphins & releases pent-up tension. It can even improve your cardiovascular function.
A good long session of laughter among-st friends & best buddies results in weakening of the body muscles & flooding of the blood with endorphins resulting in a high mental state of  Euphoria. This is the reason why teenage girls can not stop giggling over trifles, when they are together.

Start by loosening up! Remember that laughter is contagious, so if you carry yourself in an open & humorous way people will be ready to laugh.  Because we humans are wired to instinctively respond like for like, facial expressions are contagious. When taken, the homily’s implied advice to put on a happy face does work to benefit society in that smiling people cause those around them to smile.
But unfortunately for unlucky many, it's no laughing matter at all. Yet smiling is not just good for the community in which the sad sack or grouch lives; it is also beneficial to the person doing the grinning. Facial expressions do not merely signal what one feels but actually contribute to that feeling. If we smile even when we don’t feel like it, our mood will elevate despite ourselves. Likewise, faking a frown brings on a sense of not much liking the world that day.

HAPPINESS IS SILENT & INTERNAL MATTER.

March 20 th is the International Day of Happiness. A day to celebrate the importance of happiness in our lives & the worldAs we celebrate International Day of Happiness every year, it's fascinating to consider the way our brain is able to detect genuine happiness in other people. Our brains are very sensitive to the social & emotional responses.
Wcan always tell people who are truly happy just from their laugh. The brain responds differently to fake & real laughter. People demonstrate different neurological responses when they hear false laughter. Therefore stop faking, because it does not help you in any way. When was the last time you had a true, honest to goodness laughing jag? The kind where your mouth and stomach hurt from the amazing pain of hilarity, even if you can't quite remember what started it in the first place? Well, it might be time to get back to that place & time.

BEING FUNNY IS COMIC - A PROFESSION

Being funny means being able to express humor of one kind or anothermaybe a pratfall, a witty pun, or a good joke of course, well-timed. Having a sense of comedy means being able to laugh ator see the humor in life's absurdities. Trying to be funny is usually seen as practical. physical, bitter, sarcastic & nasty.

Make jokes / gags at your own expense. Audiences appreciate when you make yourself the target of comedy. It will help them open-up and they will find it easier to laugh at both you & themselves.

Anecdotal comedy belong to funny personal stories that may or may not be embellished. Hyperbolic comedy is characterized by massive exaggeration. Ironic comedy is when the meaning of the joke is the opposite of the actual meaning. Professional comedians say timing is everything & key to comic delivery. Stories / jokes are made more funny when the teller pauses right before the punchline to build up drama & anticipation. You can also wait to laugh until a couple seconds after the punchline, that way people can never be sure if you are joking or not. Always give your audience time to laugh before moving on to a different topic.


JOKES MAKE UP CONVERSATION

The punch line to every joke involves a jump from one context, which the listener has been led to assume, to a different, but valid context. Jokes use a context jump to change an apparent negative to a positive.  These are especially valuable in conversation.  Arnold Palmer and Stevie Wonder meet and Arnold is amazed to find that Stevie, although blind, plays golf.  They talk about how Stevie's caddy helps him set up, aim, & swing the club accurately.  Arnold expresses great admiration, then, surprisingly, Stevie challenges Arnold to play a round - for $1,000 a hole.  Arnold is half insulted and manages to reply, You're on, when do you want to play?  Stevie replies, Oh, any night next w
eek is fine.

DRY SENSE OF HUMOR FALLS FLAT - avoid it


Much of' deadpandry, or C class grades of humor relies upon sarcasm & depravity.  A person with a dry sense of humor tells a joke & it is not immediately obvious if it is serious or comicIt appears to be both at the same time, requiring some work on the part of the listener to discern for himself. The challenge is to "get it" in the way it was intended. A very crucial aspect to humor is its delivery by the person. Speed & accuracy are other essential components of good delivery.

IMBIBING VALUES - SWEETNESS IS THE FLAVOR OF ALL VALUES



  SWEETNESS IS THE FLAVOR OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES



EXISTENCE IS SULKING & SUFFERING

Our existence is a suffering, awaiting destruction. Our birth is a suffering, when we are hurled helpless into this cold world. A good meal leaves us stuffed and uncomfortable. Attachment to a spouse leaves us worrying about being left alone. Parting with a loved one is suffering for us. We are chasing shadows in fear and anger, wanting to destroy things before they destroy us. Suffering has an origin, and that is the misunderstanding of reality. It feels more important for us to predict, that we are going to be miserable, rather be miserable for ever. Then the next moment, when we get into misery which we always will, we find silly pleasure in being right. We boastfully tell our friends, see! I told you, this will happen and it did. You have a fool proof, self fulfilling prophecy. Suffering is a sure road, leading to short circuitry and insanity. Anxiety leads to suffering. Fear leads to suffering. The world is a perfect place. There is no fear or anxiety in it anywhere. There are only people, thinking anxiously and fearfully. It is the psychological state of feeling helpless and apprehensive. It is your funeral, buried by your own emotional poverty, sorrow, and ill health. We project anxiety and fear on the screen of the world and then experience it.   

  TAXING TRAUMAS - CHANGE IS OK

We come to believe very early in our lives that if we change then we will destroy our view of the small world we seem to own. When our first love is destroyed, crushed, distanced, from us, by some unforeseen trauma or an incident, then our view of first love is shattered to pieces. It was bound to happen, since everything is transient and temporary in this universe. But we wrongly come to believe that true love is for ever, there will never be anyone else like our first love. We learn the wrong lesson, that you get just one chance to find and hold your true love. Also love, is the only thing worth living for, on this planet. When traumas from this life are cleared to a certain extent through laying on of hands,  the past life traumas that are buried under, arise to the surface to be cleared. You are now faced with a brand new set of traumas which you are not even remotely aware of. Energy movement is a pleasurable experience. It can be positive or negative. Release of energy, through sex, is a negative pleasure. It is simply letting off build up steam. But the positive energy release is the point here. The original blocking belief of being separate from cosmic energy, angels, and people has to be understood and eliminated.

PAIN IS A SIGNAL TO HEAL

Fear and pain must be replaced by love and trust. Positive energy release will act as an antidote and bring about clarity of disconnectedness to others. You must get back to being connected to your cosmic energy and angels, just as you were at the moment of your birth. Pain and suffering is inevitable in this world, but being miserable is optional. Pain is the greatest curse for the soul. It is just mental, a mere connection between you and the body. Bones and flesh are like wood in your furniture. How can furniture have pain? This is true. In the operation theater when we are sedated with anesthesia, we feel no pain at all. The doctors do their carpentry on our bodies with all their might and we let them do it quietly.

IMBIBING VALUES - SIMPLICITY IS THE BEAUTY OF ALL VALUES




  SIMPLICITY IS THE BEAUTY OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES



  LESSON ON MONEY

Children do pick up, the wrong lesson, that money is more important than personal honor and it is OK to do, what ever is required of you, to get the money you need to live. On the other hand, you should learn that making do, with what you have, is more important, than asking for what you want. It is the root of all evils. Lack of money and excess of money, both situations are dangerous and undesirable.

MONEY IS POWER.

It gives you freedom of choice. People living in the false world, of money, are vegetating more and living less. Money can buy any commodity that you desire. Sex is also a commodity and most of us buy it. Rich people own many wives, for the sake of sex. The Nizam of Hyderabad had 500 wives. He could afford them all, with so much wealth to spare. It was impossible to remember all the 500 names of his wives; hence he numbered them for sake of convenience. Women were his possessions, like his jewels and gold for display and enjoyment. People pick up the wrong lessons, regarding money, invariable. Sexual energy is suppressed and postponed for a future date. They channel this energy into ambition, and power. They want to hoard up money. They become money maniacs. Their love is money and power. How wrong?  

EVEN A KING GOES EMPTY HANDED

Alexander the great almost conquered the whole world and had everything he wanted. He died young and was not very happy. When he died he wanted to convey a very important message to the world. The message of going empty handed, when departing from this world, even when you are a king. So he had a special casket made, where his hands could be seen hanging outside the casket. The path of his funeral procession was strewn with all the gold and jewels, to prove that you cannot buy your way out of death. Alexander also made his personal physicians and doctors to carry his casket, through the funeral procession, to tell the world, that doctors and their medicine cannot save you from the clutches of death, under any circumstances. It is just a hit and trial operation. Do you get this message, which he understood ages back? Since he was a king he could demonstrate it for posterity, by ordering his doctors to do his bidding.

CATCH THEM EARLY - TEACH BY EXAMPLE

It must absorb the prints of its handlers. It cannot be helped. In the process of handling, the handlers can leave varieties of marks on their “Glass”. It can range from a minor smudge, a little crack to a major damage. The damage of neglect, silence, hate, and violence always lasts for the entire lifetime of the youth. Therefore handle children with utmost care and tenderness. 
  
 MISHANDLING CAN BE DISASTROUS - WOUNDS & BLEEDING

Young children get wounded and confused. By the law of attraction they beget more wounds and confusion as they move on in life. Abuse and betrayal begets abuses and betrayals.  It is the snow ball effect. Getting hurt and moving on without healing the hurt means getting hurt again. You attract only what is known to you. You are in a disadvantageous position that something else, besides hurt, also exists. Acceptance or rejection of how you are treated by others is a function of how you feel about yourself. When you are wounded you bleed. It is the bleeding that makes you feel bad. The way in which the wounds are inflicted determines how long and badly you bleed. Superficial cuts, deep gashes, and internal wounds are the three basic types of wounds to be handled. In most of the cases the bleeding continues over extended periods of time bringing pain along with it too. Here you learn the wrong lesson of not liking yourself at all. Instead of healing the wounds and stopping the bleeding, we go astray and try to absorb the bleeding with food, cigarettes, and even sex. The blood continues to flow out. It oozes out from your heart, mind, and spilling over into your life, which is not a good picture about yourself. Your self worth and self esteem takes a nose dive down into a spiral. This whirlpool ends up in misery.

IMBIBING VALUES - COURAGE IS THE HEART OF ALL VALUES




COURAGE IS THE HEART OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES



  HYPNOTIC TRANCE OF INDOLENCE 

Life is about choices. We make poor choices, we fail miserably. When we make good choices, we succeed beautifully. If we choose to live in the past, we ruin or miss the boat of the present. And by choosing to live in the present at all times we secure the future too. Another critical factor is TIME. We have only this life, so we got to act now. Death is on our heels, we can die anytime, hence the urgency to decide right now.  What is to be decided? We have to choose between, AWARE and CONSCIOUS, or unaware, and unconscious. We have to wake up from our slumber and sleep. We got to shake out from our EGOS the cover of inflated ego. We have to shed away our hypnotic trance of worldly matter and choose to be fully aware of everything around us at all times.

AWARENESS: means how much we eat, and what we eat. Do we keep on smoking and drinking without brakes? If we do then we got to smoke every cigarette with total awareness and concentration as if it is a meditation. Go slow on love making and do it with complete awareness. Love making should last three to four hours instead of ten or fifteen minutes. Then it becomes a meditation. Meditation is forced stillness INITIALLY, no mind, no thoughts. Total stillness! afterwards it becomes a NATURAL state of BEING.


  FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE: DESIRE FULL OR DESIRE LESS
                      
If we choose desire fullness, we are asking for trouble, bondage, and slavery. We make ourselves into slaves of our desires. We have hundreds of desires and there are two outcomes of every desire that you have. Either they are fulfilled or unfulfilled. A couple of desires do get fulfilled and they bring you happiness, joy for a short period of time. This creates greater greed for more desires to be fulfilled and thus the vicious cycle begins and it never ends too. Now for the other part! Most of your desires will be unfulfilled causing you to become angry, irritated, agitated, with yourself and your circumstances, situations, and people. Your sadness, anger, rejection is long lasting type. The vicious circle begins here too. Being desire full makes you greedy, jealous, atheist, hateful, and very angry.  

On the other hand when we choose to be desire less, then we choose to be free, happy, and masters of ourselves. We already have what we need. We never use up 90 % of the possessions we own. They just lie there and rot. What we desire or want is not what we need. When we choose to be desire less we have positive feelings of joy, love, spirituality, abundance, and equanimity. These emotions are responsible for our good health and make us disease free.

IMBIBING VALUES - HONESTY IS THE GURU OF ALL VALUES



HONESTY IS THE GURU OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES



  SHORT CUTS WILL CUT YOUR LIFE SHORT

Self effort will make an angel out of you. Few people try to develop the potentials of their bodies, mind, and soul. Rest of us are, victims of circumstances of their past, and ignorance based beliefs. Our mind has convinced us of many limitations we imposed on our selves. We never exercise our free will in anything. It is killed in childhood for the fear of hurting others. To idle is to harm self. You ossify and become a fossil. Live creatively now or never, live rightly now, this life and not the next life. Assert yourself. You are not a bird or a beast. You have to break the bonds of delusion and choose now. We can choke with mud of accumulated ignorance or cleanse it by dredging with the shovel of knowledge. The fundamental choice between remaining bound and enslaved or to awaken up from sleep and your hypnosis of ego has to be made now. Now is the gateway to Eternity.   
   
KARMIC DEBTS

Meditation is the way out of linear Time. Deep meditation takes you into a sense of timelessness or eternity, where the karmic chains break away. It is here that the karmic debts are canceled when you transcend your Ego.
Karmic forces act on individuals existing out there, separate from the world. But when you meditate and be one with the universe and the world, the karma is overcome. Karma is cosmic justice. Dues have to be paid when a lesson of life is not learned. Dues pile up as huge debts. Learn the system, the foreign language of silence. The ignorant drown in the ocean, in which the mystics swim. Mind is never peaceful. Its nature is cloudiness and confusion. It is abstract. It is like a crowd, millions of separate thoughts crowded into a small mind. These thoughts are in motion, moving like clouds in the sky. Thoughts are foreign, just visitors, only guests. They do not belong to you. You are merely a host for them to take shelter. No mind, no thoughts are original. So get back to that state of No mind. Silence it by awareness, self effort and meditation. 


EACH ONE IS A BUDDHA

You are the BUDDHA. He who is awakened from sleep is a Buddha. It is not something to happen in future, rather it has already happened. Simply recognize yourself. You are the Heir to the kingdom of Buddha hood. Nirvana is Quiescence, our destination. The last thought on your mind when you die becomes the template for your next life. Since the thoughts never stop, you keep reincarnating again and again. The idea here is to die consciously, with full awareness, with no thought on your mind, a blank mind. An even better state would be a state of mind to mingle with the Cosmic Energy. That is Nirvana. That is beginning of a fresh cycle of births and deaths. OUR LIFE’S PURPOSE!

LIFE IS AN EXTERNAL DANCE

Life is an external dance. The movements of the dance are choreographed through Awareness. Life is analogous to a pail of muddy water. When the water is stirred and wavy you cannot see the reflection of the sun in the water. But when the stirring and waves have been stopped by meditation, the surface of the muddy water in the pail becomes still then you can see the reflection of the sun. This is an allegory and the explanation is as follows. Muddy stands for all the dirty, foul,  thoughts in our head. The stirring and waves in the water mean that we have mind full of excitement, duality, and confusion. The still water surface stands for the quietude mind using meditation to bring about Quiescence. Sun implies Cosmic Energy’s reflection in the still waters. It is very much possible to earn GRACE with repeated meditation and utter faith in cosmic energy. Grace is the divine dispensation that waves the payment of Karmic debts, in this very life.

IMBIBING VALUES - HUMILITY IS THE PROTECTOR OF ALL VALUES



  HUMILITY IS THE PROTECTOR OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES



  EARTH GUIDED ONLY - EGO

What stops us from changing?  Why we refuse to change?  It is our own EGO that comes in our way of progress, way for betterment and new life. It is the root of all evils. Ego stands for Earth Guided Only. The opposite of Ego is soul consciousness. It is our attachment to the wrong beliefs about us. It is the false center. We put on a mask of restlessness over our real nature of calmness. We go about masquerading, all our lives with passion. We are intoxicated with ego feeling, agitated state of consciousness, resulting in stimuli of feelings, hence covering the bliss. Ego lives on attention. It feels hungry, deep begging for attention. It is all about me, me and I. All misery enters through ego. Two egos clash because both are not confident of themselves. You are a little spark and yet you extol yourself. I am the owner of the Universe. In reality you do not own anything on the Earth, let alone own the Universe. Ego is home made, fabricated, self manufactured and ugly of course, since it is man-made. We are afraid of being alone, lonely. Hence we invent illusions, TV, clubs, conferences, sects, churches, crowd, and parties, to procrastinate the effort to look inside. This is our self hypnosis through others, attention from others. 
If you are hurt inside with one’s insinuation – it is ego.
If one’s behavior causes you pain – it is ego.
If you speak loudly, and shout to get your point across – it is ego.
If you want to control your children & the world – it is ego.
If you are pointing the index finger and giving orders – it is ego.
If you are worried and anxious for things – it is ego.
If you are suffering and miserable most of the time – it is ego.
If you are generally angry at the world situations – it is ego.
  
AN EMPEROR HAS BIG EGO

One day in the land of Mongolia an emperor Aurangzeb was praying in darkness in a mosque. He was telling the lord, I am nobody. But unfortunately he was not alone in the mosque. There was another common man praying too beside the emperor and he too was saying the same prayer, I am nobody.  At once the Emperor Aurangzeb’s ego, flared up. Who dare say the same prayer? The emperor punished the common man, one of his own subject’s with death by beheading in public, for praying with him and saying the same stuff. The emperor could not tolerate such a simple act. Most people have very low ignition point, and they flare up very quickly over, anything trivial. Ego is hell, misery, and suffering.

THE SUBTLE EGO OF BEING HUMBLE

This is very fine line that most of the old people walk or take up. Their Ego wants to continue even after their DEATH. They insist that the public & grand children remember them for ever. BUT WHY. They will do all kinds of acts of kindness in their old age just to be in the good books of their near & dear ones. They are additionally looking & hoping for a long FUNERAL PROCESSION when they die. This thought makes them happy now. But the big question is HOW would they know that fact when they lying dead in the coffin.  Paradoxically if you have lived a long healthy life & out lived most of your colleagues then who is left behind to attend your funeral, yet you have high expectations for a long long funeral, from the young ones who do not know you enough. Gentlemen & gentle ladies, beware of this foolish expectation cum wish.    

EGO CAN DESTROY YOU
                                   
A well established mature psychiatrist had a solid practice in Los Angeles. One day he was approached by a very beautiful lady, Tyrell for help and consultation. As she walks in to his clinic and the doctor goes flying off the floor. He is totally knocked off by the captivating charm and beauty of our lady patient. He could not control himself. He approaches the lady, hugs her straight away, kisses her and excuses himself for the act on his part. Madame Tyrell, that was my problem, now what is your problem? The lady patient slapped the doctor and sued him for 10 million dollars. The doctor was ruined just because of his ego. Ego gets you into trouble, hence beware, be extra careful.

TEACHERS HAVE BLOATED EGOS

Thomas is a self made man and very ambitious person. He has an extremely bloated ego, which often gets him into trouble and arguments, generally over trifles. Unfortunately he ties the knot with another like minded woman, Taylor through arranged marriage by their elders. Taylor is highly egoistic too and has a very good command on the English language. This makes her egotistic too. We now have the perfect recipe for a life long misery, with two bloated egos under the same roof. It is life long, because divorce is considered a taboo in their culture. Their valued jobs as teachers help them make a fortune, by saving up and not spending on the joys of life. They also make a couple of children, but the quality of life is far from harmonious at home. The uncompromising Thomas, toils and works without stopping for vacations, and ends up with a couple of blood related diseases, including a heart bye pass surgery and diabetes. The public-ally respected Taylor, takes all the beating and hardships on herself, suppressing all her emotions and dreams, consequently ends up with breathing and mouth related diseases including a full blown asthma. This is how egos get you down on your knees, when you want to stand up erect. Both of them suffer from acute arthritis affecting their knee joints specially. This is cosmic energy’s way of indicating to egoistic people, to be humble in life and dealings with loved ones.   

  MONSTER OF EGO

Choice gives you options, but it is accompanied by tensions. This one or that one! Ego comes into play. Duality is created by the mind. In the beginning there is no distinction. Then my toys and your toys! Where to live?  In the hills or in the valley! A huge dilemma cannot make up your mind. Are you for sex & promiscuity or against sex and celibacy? Either way you are in anxiety. When you are in one of them, the grass seems greener on the other side of the fence. Are you for Jesus Christ and Christianity or Anti-Jesus Christ and against Christianity? Well there is still another option available to you, which is being neutral or indifferent to Christ and Christianity. Choose, to wake up from slumber, deep hypnosis or continue sleeping. Few people try consciously to develop the potentials of mind, body and soul. Rest are purely victims of circumstances, of past.  

AWARENESS CAN TAME IT

How do we escape this monster of Ego?  Just drop it, simple! It is easy to say but difficult to do it. The only sure way out is Awareness. You have to be dangerously aware, alert 24/7. Alertness is intensity. Try being as alert as if you are walking a high 12 inch narrow rope bridge over a gigantic ravine or river. The wind is swaying the rope bridge and death is at your heels every step you take towards your destination across the river. This is the highest level of awareness you have ever had or will have when you attempt to venture on such a trip. Therefore become intensely aware of this monster Ego and watch it dropping off, disappearing, and finally gone. Of course hard work is required on your part first, before you can see some results.

Humility is a Healing Herb - Humble people stay healthy, rarely fall sick.

IMBIBING VALUES - PATIENCE IS THE FORTRESS OF ALL VALUES


PATIENCE IS THE FORTRESS OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES


 SENSE OF TIME AFFECTS OUR BEHAVIOR

Time pressure alters our behavior. Deadlines in our work routines imply threats. Lots of deadlines mean you must eventually die. The story of nervous cook illustrates this point very well. The world famous chef Kim was once asked if he could cook up an omelet in two minutes. He confidently said yes and agreed to perform the act on national TV. There was competition among many famous chefs. Kim had cooked up hundreds of omelets, always in much less than two minutes but without the time pressure. On the assigned day the stop watch was set for two minutes. The master chef was under time pressure. He started off quite well but under the pressure of meeting the deadline of two minutes he fumbled, panicked and failed miserably in front of the national audience. He himself was at a loss to understand the phenomenon.  

NOW IS THE TIME TO BE HAPPY

This present moment is a Space–Time event within the eternal continuum. This moment is as it should be. Everything is acceptable as part of larger identity. Today does not exist in isolation. It is like a deep shoal of endless river of life. If we defile today we exert a bad influence down stream on tomorrow. You are living in hope, a promise in the future. Ambition is misleading and mischief. I will be happy when and if I have lots of money, cars, lavish house, and respectable position, status in the community. It means that Today must be sacrificed for tomorrow. The more things you accumulate, more precious time is wasted at the cost of this one life you have in hand. This life is your only opportunity. You have the capacity to be happy, by exercising your will power to choose now. Transcending the barriers of time: past, present and future! It is totally possible to cross over any time simply by concentrating and meditating. When thoughts arise in your mind and pass out alternatively in succession, there is Time. Fewer thoughts mean less passage of time. No thoughts mean no time. Time stops. No concept of duration of time. Shadow following the substance!


TIME IS ETERNITY IN MOTION

Act now! Time is slipping away. The tiger of death is approaching fast. You must reach Home quickly. If you value your soul you will make an honest effort. For everyone to be that patient in this life is an arduous task to ask. For they live very fast now and die young. They do not know how to live, because they live by Time. They must do their tasks in a certain perimeter of time or they shall never accomplish them. As long as they feel that way, they shall never accomplish it. They will have only lived by time and that will be the only accomplishment in this life and next life too.

Minutes, hours are only fragments of eternity. Time is objective, but our bodies react to subjective time as recorded in our memories. Time can be speeded up or down. Speed at which time travels is another dimension in our lives which affects us deeply. Elucidating this point we have an interesting riddle for your mind. There was a young lady named BRIGHT, who’s speed was much faster than light. One day she traveled in a relative way and returned on the previous day. We are all tightly bound by time as you have experienced first hand during your vacations. Time is the interval between two events. When you are in the Now, time Stops, no interval, only event.  

  TIME IS AN ILLUSION

That man is free, who is conscious of being the author of the laws, he must obey. How? You eliminate the chain of cause and effect. Linear passing of Time is an illusion. Time can go backwards, forwards, can slow down, or move faster. It can contract and expand too.

DIVISION OF TIME

Jesus divided Time. All time is in reference to Jesus Christ. BC - Before the Birth of Christ! AD - After the Death of Christ!                                        What happened to 33 years he lived? They do not account for them at all in any calendar? Back then, birthdays were irrelevant. It was the death dates, which were recognized and recorded. Some how that made sense! That way you can judge some one’s accomplishments and decide whether or not, to recognize them.


DESIRING HAPPENS IN FUTURE TIME

The present moment is so atomic, so small that you cannot move in it, you can only be in it. You cannot DESIRE in it. Desire needs future, more time. If you are ambitious you need an entire life time to achieve all that you desire at the cost of today.  Time exists because of human desire. It creates future. The mind manufactures it all. Your moods decide how time will move in a relative way.  


PRESSURE OF TIME

Timing and timeliness are the cause of our emotions. On a holiday everything seems to go very smoothly. On a long vacation you are 100 % relaxed and you have the best of the emotions in you: joy, happiness, calm, and carefree. You are exhilarated and time seems to fly past you. The vacation seems to be shrinking, like you just started yesterday. When you are making love on a cruise ship, time stands still or seems to stand still even though the ship is moving. But come Monday all hell breaks loose and you all are tensed up. You are desperate in the early morning rush hour stuck in a traffic jam. Time is running out, you are getting late for office. Then your neighbor walks into your office to discuss his problems. You are bored to death by his presence. Time stands heavy.  In pain time lengthens and tends to stop. If a loved one is on a death bed and in their last stage, then time will hang up. Hell is eternal. 

TIME EXISTS TO MAKE CHOICES

Timing and timeliness have a purpose. The purpose is to enable us to make our choices. The fundamental choice to experience peace or conflict; love or hate; action or indolence; today or tomorrow.
