The Values Of Speaking Truth In Spiritual Life?

Speaking truth is a luxury in worldly life. Many people use the power of silence; half lies and full lies to their advantages. They manipulate people; use the power of information to tilt situation and people to their advantage. This will be detrimental to the spiritual life.

Spiritual life is challenging because it breaks the ego. Ego likes control, certainty and stability. All these things will be broken if ones start following moral conduct of speaking truth.

Actually it is equally challenging like that of sitting long hours of meditation.
Some one asked what is use of meditation?  The writer said it is for becoming a better human being.

All religions stress on moral value and conduct, which brings in happiness and peace in the long run. The Buddhist calls it as paramis, the great patanjali calls it as yama and niyama , the jains call it moral percepts. Every religion stress on these values to make life peaceful. One can be rich yet not be peaceful. Peace of mind and good health is what most people want in the long run.

Speaking truth will create difficulties, complication because karma gets purified. Of course expecting oneself to be told as a nice man will not happen with truth. Soul wise and spiritual wise there will be progress. But material wise loss can come for some time. It also makes one’s own life more challenging. One needs to walk on one’s own advice.

Some people can speak truth and still be accepted. Due to karma one can lose life if one speaks the truth. Some people can lose job or lose marriage because of speaking the truth. Such is the evil karma one has done. It is not too late in the day. One can pray and face the consequences and make spiritual progress. This is not worldly wisdom but other worldly wisdom.

Speaking truth is necessity and not a luxury in spiritual life. I have seen and heard some spiritual gurus sleeping with women and claiming to be spiritually advanced. I was shocked to hear when one of biggest name in adviatha doing such immoral act and still being a teacher.

These kind of contradictions will be solved and do less damage to oneself and others by speaking the truth. It requires not guts but plain common sense to see damage created to self and others by speaking lies.

Do i Know Everything?

The answer is clearly no. Of course this require lot of guts and clarity of mind to understand. To pretend as all knowing, all-powerful all-perfect is what many so called new age gurus play these days. The disciples also attribute to it. I cannot accept it.  Like every one i know that god does everything. However people attribute it to me or to any guru is the magnanimity of the creator that we get the credit for his mysterious way. A woman conceives, does she know the mystery behind conception? it is same way for almost every thing in life.

For example whether a person is lying or not? Some times like all others I can find out. Some times in my meditation I can clearly see the connection why and what for he said. Some times as reflection these flashes happen naturally. These insights, visions happens to understand how to help people, what advise to give them, how they can make life more harmonious.

Then people wonder how is that I say things or answer question which is in their mind? How can I say about their past? It is because of techniques plus aadesh. When you speak less and allow divine to speak all these magic happens.
Even if I know when other person is lying I always think how to release their fear and help them instead of sitting and thinking of how smart I am? How great I am?

For example some one said that,” I went to  xxx astrologer he also said same thing as yours, I went to nadi astrology he said the same thing “. I know that this person will still go to many astrologers, he will still to go to many gurus, and he will still have strong differences after 2009 Oct onwards. He has partial respect to his teacher and not complete one. He said those things because he thinks I will get offended because he is going to several astrologers. These people would have said what I have not said. He never listened to his father how he will listen to me. 9th house is for father and guru. What he has done with his father he will do it with me.
What is the use of telling all these things? Whenever I look at the people most of the time I think what is the spiritual purpose he has come? How can I help them? Most of the people think in the reverse manner as what they can get from someone? How can they use the other person?
I also read person’s energy or their soul. The way of looking at personality, words, eye moment etc is long gone back. I have lost interest in that. Of course I can teach someone two or three methods as to find out sincerity of the person. Personally do not use them. I trust god will protect me. I do not guard myself I know dharma and truth will protect me. It is for every one. When some one asks me any thing, I think how to give, not how to take or what will I get in return.

For example if I were to think how I will make money in class and what benefits the other person will get then, may be class will never happen. If I think how other people can become helpful to others by the class then it will easier for energy to flow.  All of us know god who does every thing not us. The whole effort to understand and master the external word will come to end ——when one realizes external world and relationship leads to pain, with so little happiness and so much of sorrow and suffering. It is like dew drops at the tip of grass, which vanishes when the sun arises. It is like licking honey on the razor edge, eating sweet but poisonous food. It is bait for the soul to be hooked, with unquenching thirst; it is like dog chasing its own tail.

One should have ambition I have different one. When people talk to me their mind should turn towards dharma. I should come to the point in prayers that just by hearing my name people’s mind should become calm peaceful and dharmic. Just like the grand and great Buddha, shankara and other great holy men have done.

All the relationship leads to pain no matter how sweet it is in the beginning. Death departure, expectations, personality, age will one-way or the other brings in pain. Words have many meaning (that is why poetry is written) that is the reason why pain comes in the relationship.
It is the morning of one more day, which is given to us to remember the holy name of god, perfect the prayers, make life worthful, to perfect the loving kindness. May all our words, action, thoughts and intention move towards it.

Words dissolve into pictures
pictures dissolve into energy
energy dissolves into silence.
Reverse it you will have secret of nada yoga

How To Reduce Sinning?

Does sin exists? Yes, sin exists. It is called as karma in Hinduism. When we cause injury in people’s lives due to action, words and thoughts, sin is committed. There are of two types one is intentional and other one is non-intentional.
Injury is making people’s life unhappy painful filled with suffering and causing destruction.
Can we escape the karmic retribution? Yes if one wants to. Many people do not want to come out of it and they do not even accept what they have done. All sins and volitions we commit will come in front of us at the time of death. The other person will come to know of it one day or the other. The method I am writing will be difficult for everyone, but it will certainly purify the soul.  I also bless everyone that may come out of the karmic mess nicely and easily. The following are the ways to come out of the mess.

Learn to accept it within your heart.

Ask forgiveness with god.

Tell to the other person’s soul sorry mentally

pray for other person to be successful. For example, 2 malas for next 6 months.

Resolve within yourself that you will never commit this kind of act.

Be willing to face the consequences and confess to the other person.

Ask for sorry straight on the face. This sorry will unburden the soul. It will make you light and happy. Of course it will take time for other person to accept and forgive. give time. It will also take time for you.

Think how u will feel when some one has done it for u.

Treat the other person nicely no matter how nasty he acts with you. He will forgive. He will also realize what good it has done. Wait and be patient.

The story of jet sun milarepa, the cotton clad yogi who does black magic and kills many people for revenges.( it is there in inter net )how he comes out  of that and becomes greatest meditators of all time is a sterling example.

It is not by sinning that we lower our consciousness, but by our unwillingness to come out of it. I bless with all my heart to come out of the secret suffering. May god give you strength courage and understanding to purify yourself.

As for the four immeasurable minds, they are loving – kindness,
compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity.  Loving – kindness refers to
being affectionately mindful of [other] beings such that one constantly
seeks to benefit them with situations which induce peace, security and
bliss.  Compassion refers to being sympathetically mindful of beings’
undergoing of all manner of physical and mental suffering in the five
paths.  Sympathetic joy refers to the desire to cause beings to go from
the experiencing of pleasure to the realization of joyfulness.
Equanimity (she = upek.saa) refers to the relinquishing (she) of the
three [other immeasurable] minds such that one is simply mindful of
beings in such a way that one is not either averse or affectionate
towards  them.

One cultivates the mind of loving – kindness for the sake of
getting rid of initial thoughts (vitarka, as opposed to secondary
thought, vicaara) [characterized by] hatred towards beings.  One
cultivates the mind of compassion for the sake of getting rid of initial
thoughts [characterized by] affliction towards beings.  One cultivates
the mind of sympathetic joy for the sake of getting rid of displeasure
towards beings.  One cultivates the mind of equanimity for the sake of
getting rid of affection and hatred towards beings.

The magical world of illusion

Where water becomes wind

Wind becomes water.

The Game Called Illusion Played By God.

Game of illusion goes like this.

we  do not think but thought through.

we  do not see but are seen through.

we do not hear but are heard through.

We  do not touch but  are touched through.

We do not talk but but are spoken through.

 

God plays with your thought.

We see water but is mirage.

We see death but it is new life.

we see sorrow it is awakening.

We  see happiness it is inverted sorrow.

What is seen as reality is  only a fading dream.

 

In this game of illusion.

Real security not lies in

Gold, men, power contacts and position.

But in name of god.

Let us not misplace a faith.

Seeking blessing of holy ones

A single leap of faith

Will cure disease of delusions.

 

  In this game of illusion

What is filled will be  empty

What Is empty will be filled.

Why waste time in change.

Life moves from one extreme to other

The morning sun becomes night moon.

The solid ice melts in to water.

So what is one extreme will come to other.

 

In this game of illusion.

All theory and model cannot understand reality

All skill and money cannot control restless mind.

All words will create more confusion.

In depth of our heart, with silence

Prayerful humility

We shall discover secrets of life

 

In the game of illusion.

One becomes many.

To break free of illusion.

Make many in to one.

A simple trick to master

Long is effort required.

How To Work

The great prayers of Francis of Assisi sums up beautifully lord make me
Instrument of your peace. Many people work for their sake, next level
is family sake, next is society sake, then for world sake ultimately is
for lord sake. In the world of competition, putting down others, destroying
others is taught. These are the kind of work, which will make your physical
world materially prosperous but soul wise restless. It is like a man who has
every thing but misses some thing in life.

First get yourself connected with god this is longest step. If there is work to be
done then the divine will tell you. It is act of providence. Our main work is
connecting to god with prayer. This if it is done with unceasing prayer of interiority,
then the divine will show the way. Many people want to be great, socially recognized
and leave a lasting imprint in the sands of time. The greatest men who are remembered
were not the men who made money but people who did prayers. Avilla, Assisi, Ramakrishna
saibaba are fine examples. Work is for the sake of god and in India they call it karma yoga.
Gibran pours this thought in his poetry so aptly as

And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart,
even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection,
As if you’re beloved were to dwell in that house.
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy,
As if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own
spirit, And toknow that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching.
How does your work create impact on others is defined beautifully in the prayer of Assisi as
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to
Console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
What happens to you when you work like that -
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

There are many times we will be doubtful about the world, which has forgotten the soul work.
We will compare our work with others. There will be period of doubts, difficulties, pains and
intense struggle before the soul chooses the path of divine. This is normal. The corporate rat race
has to stop and it will require lot of courage. We are born for some thing noble than what we
aspire to be, there is more to life than just material pursuits.
May all beings find the right work as what divine Buddha said in his 8 noble paths.
There is no higher or lower work any work can be made divine provided there is right attitude.
Some people find meaning with computer, some with social service, some with astrology. Each
one will find meaning in their work in their own way.

The Spirutual Path

 

There is lot of confusion on spirituality these days. Many people ask me what is the right spiritual path? Finding your own

spiritual path is like getting into marriage. So many choices need to be made unconsciously. Don’t get me wrong? The process is tricky and takes lot of courage to walk in that path.

 

First question you have ask yourself is- whether do you want follow religion of your parent’s or not? This is a very important question to the western people. They change jobs, spouses and including their own religion. If the answer is yes and you want follow your parent’s religion then most of the problems get solved. If  the answer is no then you will need to go for a bigger search.

 

Second question is whether you want to follow the intellectual path or you want to follow path of the heart. Intellectual path is advaitha, kriya yoga, kundalini yoga or you want to go in for bhakthi yoga.

 

Now the other question is – whether you want to continue your spiritual practice as a householder or bachelor. This is an important question, as the commitments, duties and responsibility really will take a toll in your life.

 

Do you want to serve the society? This is basically in the Buddhism comes as Hinayana or Mahayana. Hinayana means meditating lone and cutting away from society. In Christianity this is called as cloister. Of course people do say that serving people is better but for start and middle level, it is better to be alone and do sadhana.

 

Next question what kind of guru you want to follow? Do you want a single guru or multiple gurus? Many people have many gurus or inspiration. Mostly guru will come to your level of true intention, your past live vasanas and willingness to break free from maya. Many gurus these days are public speakers, Entertainers and sooth Sayers.

 The most important criteria is whether are you growing spiritually and becoming calmer person. Some of the gurus advocate the path of tantra, which is very good inherently, but it like driving car in 300 miles speed. Very many people learn to drive a car but only few people can become a race driver. The process of tantra is like driving a racecar and only few people will have ability and instinct to do it.

 

Now if you are following bhakthi yoga you will have to choose a deity. This can be done by following one’s own family deity or deity of one’s own inclination.

 

The following of deity has 5 paths. The vaisnavism, the shivates, the shaktas, the murgas, the ganpathayas(worshipper of ganapathy or  hanuman) . Worshipping of spirits, ancestors can give occult powers but never real liberation.

 

From this path one can choose the deity. This basically is a divine play and mostly the form and name of divine chooses the person. Every form and name will lead to god ultimately. To cut short of this confusion, Christianity has made only one form as mandatory and prayers of Jesus as one way. It helps people to become very clear.

 

One more problem is how much do you want to be involved with the worldly people and the worldly activity. There is a proportion. One can leave the world fully because one depends the world for food clothing and shelter.

 

 

 

world	spiritual
100%	0%
90%	10%
80%	20%
70%	30%
60%	40%
50%	50%
40%	60%
30%	70%
20%	80%
10%	90%

 

 

In each level normal activity of the world like seeing TV, chatting in telephone, reading papers, etc should go.

 

Basically it means number of hours you will put in your spiritual life. Each level u want to increase is 2 hours. That means 10% will be 2 hours.

 

Basically more than 8 hours of religious life u will become very professional mediator.

 

Work like priest, art like dance music or like astrologer medicine man helps in this path of religion. But one has to break the mould of searching for money and fame and make god as centre of ones own life.

 

Easier said than done.

 

Number of years before one starts seeing results will be 15- 20 years. Of course this looks long. Buddha required 6 years to become an avatar, arunagiri nathar required 15 years, the great ramalinga swami required more than 10 years. So please understand for such great people it took more time to reach a platform in spirituality. So imagine for ordinary people.

 

Basically we see the world as follows.

 

• World is happy and we have to make money, power, lands and buildings. This is worldly look.

• The aim of life is liberation. This is higher way of looking.

• The whole worldly activity will lead only to suffering is clearer look.

• Then the seeing world people as divine embodied in different form is highest look. 

Looking at women following ways .

 

• As divine being. 

• As holy mother.

• As your own mother, sister or child.

 

• As wife, friend etc.

 

• As sexual object.

 

Looking money

 

 

• As way of liberation.

 

• Source of pain and suffering.

 

 

• As divine gift to help others.

 

• As a way of security and safety.

 

• As means of exploiting people and bringing happiness to oneself.

 

All world objects and people can be seen in three ways.

 

 

• Satvic means of liberation.

 

• Rajasic – as way of bringing happiness to others and to oneself.

 

• Tamasic as way of bringing happiness to self and misery to others.

 

 

Every religion prepares its house holder in to spiritual life by prescribing a series of fast, festivals, some kind of routine one can follow initially to form a habit. By following these one’s own worldly life will be easy.

 

If you have major karmic problem like loss of job or ill health or lack of baby or marriage, then this can be used a major leap of consciousness and perfect the art of meditation.

Call Of an Urge …

HOW TO OVER COME NEGATIVE VASANA AND SAMASKARA

I bow to the great rishis.

I bow to my teacher kirties

I bow all the great gurus

This is one of the most difficult issues of the spirituality. Many people go to temples, seek gurus and chant prayers but unable to over come their negative vasanas and samaskara. There is certain knack for over coming quickly.

• Understand that every one will have one pet emotion like anger, addictions which will be difficult to overcome.

• Understand the more you discuss other people’s faults your own negative samskara and vasana  will be more difficult to over come. Learn to bless people and feel positive for people who are struggling to overcome the negative vasana and samsakara. For example one might not drink but then one need not put down people who drink . Feel compassion for there weakness.

• Remember the negative days like amavasaya purnima, astami ,navami,

• shasthi Tuesday Saturday malefic nakashtra like rahu and mars nakshatra will trigger these tendencies easily.

• Understand that when you are upset these tendencies become stronger.

• Going out to mass places like airport railway stations, strong smells will trigger these tendencies.

• Understand it takes time and repeated effort to over come in all levels.

• Ask for divine help.

• Take continuous vow every day that one will not be angry or one will speak gently or one will not be addicted to coffee etc.

      Every samskara flows in 5 levels. Intention and thoughts which is the imaginations, visualization, feelings, words and actions. That is why the ancient Indian calls it as the seeds. Seed is intention, the root is the mind, feeling is sapling, words are flowers and actions produces further seeds.

 

 

 

 Make effort to cut in the action level

 

 Then make effort in the words level

 

 Once these levels are crossed then the

 

 Bigger level of thoughts, feelings levels is more difficult to deal with.  

 

SOME OF THE BEST WAY TO OVER COME IS AS FOLLOWS

 

 

• Try to practice mantra or spiritual practice for that samaskara. Choose a mantra which will overcome the samaskara. Do it every day. For example anger is ohm shanthi, for celibacy hanuman mantra and for jealousy lakshmi mantra.

• Write it down. This one of the fastest way to over come. Results will be seen. I write in the excel sheet.

• Take a coach who has mastered that particular samakara. Some people are good in controlling anger then take them as your coach.

• Take vow three times a day. Like I will not be greedy or angry or over excited or sexual etc.

• Learn to deal at the earliest.

• When some one point out your weakness it can be your wife or children or husband learn to thank them instead of criticizing them. Ask them to pray for your help.

• If you see some one who has mastered that samskara talk to them on their techniques and what they use to recover. For example I learnt on how to lose weight from lot of people who gave wonderful tips. One guy told me do not eat full, one lady told me eat salad which I was not even aware.

• Learn to appreciate some one good quality like humility, kindness which will help you to recognize your negative quality easily. Many people due to thick karma are not aware of their negative tendencies itself. This is due to their actions which minimizes other people’s good quality and exaggerate other people’s negative quality. Reverse it and it will easier to over come.

• When you got to temple ask the god or goddess to help u with this quality.

• Keep small vows like for next one hour I will not be upset. Then appreciate yourself. Then keep it for one day.  Keep it small and one day at a time. Then keep longer goals like 20 days to thirty days.

• Do not become arrogant and complacent with success. Keep extending it for longer times.

• Recovery must be quick. For example if you get angry and take one hour to recover, then make it within ten minutes. For example if you have eaten one mouthful of sweet then stop there and get out of the place.

• Challenge yourself to do it better.

• Accept the weakness  and do not blame on others. For example if is addicted to coffee the hotels are not be blamed but one’s own self. For example some one is hyper sexual then the movies or actress are not be blamed but one’s own self.

• Avoid people and situations initially.

• Once you have mastered one level and then go towards people and places which triggers that samskara in you. For example some one mastered eating one level then walk in to sarvana bhavan and come out. For example drinking means move with friends who are drink but do not drink. Appreciate yourself.

• Do not do it too often one or two times then completely cut off people and places. Then repeat the procedure.

• Write down time, people and places that trigger the samaskara and try to do affirmations and visualization. For example some one smokes in crisis then need to take affirmation that- I will not smoke in crisis.

• When mind wants to blame- Always make the other person action as positive. Some one has crooked you or uses abusive language or tempts in to addictions then thinks they have such ignorance. For example swami Vivekananda went to Chicago. Suddenly his people lost the way and entered in to Brothel Street. Releasing this every one was sorry and wanted to return. Swamiji saw some women calling him for sex with out realizing. He went up to them sat in posture and started crying. He told them in chaste English “ I am sorry that you identify yourself as the body your are divine itself. May the divine master take u away from this ignorance” some of them started crying on hearing the words.

• If you have doubts on following noble quality. Remember initially there will be losses because your old karma is getting cleaned. For example one person was stingy when he become generous he lost money. the reason is he has to compensate for the bad karma of the past.

• Read the life of great beings like tukuram who over come his lust because of his love for rama, then the great milarepa who was black magician, killed people but he went on to become the greatest saint of Tibet, the great purandara dasa who was known was holding money back, the great nityananda who went police station to make them leave the murderer, the life of chirst who forgave his enemies in the cross. These saints life is example of sinner becoming saints.

• When you go to jivan Samadhi of great saints ask for there help and pray sincerely.

• Remember when one knows what is good and bad that itself is god’s blessing. When you make sincere attempts, then that itself is greater blessing. Millions of people who justify their evil action how ever powerful and rich will be like the ravana and duroyanda. Ravana got killed by lust , duroyanda by his anger and hatred.

As I was writing this article my friend yoga who was sitting next to me told sweetly the following words” an untrained mind will be easily tricked. One feels very confident and then arrogance sets in. this is the beginning of defeat” . I think his words hold true even for trained mind.

 

 

May all people who read this article benefit from this fully and totally

May all people be free of negative samasakra and vasana.

May all of us follow dharma effortlessly.

May we feel compassionate for all beings at any levels.

May we get inspired by people who follow dharma and mastered it.

Sadhana – For Everyone

 

Every one is doing sadhana whether some one likes it or not or believe it or not. It is very true. This is god’s world and every one is doing sadhana. Sadhana can be seen from soul level or personality level.

For example one man was struggling in debts. It is about the manifestation the soul is learning. One woman was having negative marriage and the soul is learning about on love and very specifically on the quality of forgiveness. One man fought with teacher. It is about divine will and also learning about speaking the truth.

Everyone is doing sadhana. Some concentrate on activity and do not have understanding that they are searching for god or love. Even if they do not understand still they are doing sadhana. Whether you are rich or poor, negative or positive, housewife or working, every one is doing sadhana. We choose arts or any other work which is again doing sadhana.

Some quality we all master in our life. Some one in loan section of bank is learning on manifestation specifically how to help people to become successful by giving loans.

God is like as my loving teacher calls as bramananda. Very few people can master God in single life time. It takes many life times to understand, experience and manifest love in all dimensions.

Looking from soul level, every activity we do is learning on god or oneness or divine love. From personality level what we do etc is what matters.

Sadhana can be divided in some manner.

1. Activity
2. Quality
3. Understanding
4. Balance

Every one acts. Sri Krishna says it is difficult to stop acting. Action is karma yoga. We eat talk sing dance and even doing nothing is still an activity physically.

Quality – every activity we bring in is either positive or negative quality. Awareness, kindness, love, positvity, kindness etc comes with different quality comes. The Buddhist calls it paramis and the Indians call it as yama and niyama.

Understanding happens with every activity. Every activity makes us to refine on theory, principles, techiques, and technology on love. It is about love which is the another name for god we are learning. Success or failure, known or unknown does not really matter in the long run. It is all about love.

Balance – talking too much will create problems. Talking less will create problems. Eating too much will create problems or eating less will create problems. Any thing too much will lead to problems. Once we understand then we try to balance it.

Siddhies On Time

Time has certain barriers. These barriers do not allow some one to see the future. Just because some one is intelligent, beautiful or articulate does not mean that they can know the future. One needs to do sadhana. Maya’s important component is time. Knowing future brings down the power of time.

 The following are the levels of siddhies which will help in understanding the time.

 

• First of all we need the basic understanding that the future can be known using some methods. This includes astrology, numerology palmistry or faciology etc.

• Second is using the intuition. Many people knew just before the event starts to unfold. The inner voice tells them that.

• Thirdly is seeing the patterns in the universe.

• Fourthly is seeing the combinations which makes it happen astrologically or numerology.

• These patterns are very good and from all systems it can be justified. For example some one is going to have great child. Then it can be explained using astrology numerology, runes etc or any other method of divination.

• Fifthly is with the great kalachakra one can see or understand how the events happen step by step. Once this is understood, then one can be free of limitation of any method or form.

• And finally is just seeing the future as visuals. Once a person tunes into mental seed then the future can be seen not only for this life time but for many life times-past and future.   This seed helps to understand the logic or karma behind why an event happens will be clearly. Seeing the past lives and sensing the past lives connections will help a person to clear loads of karma. This is also the siddhi which will help many people why this happened to them.

 

The same can be applied to the mass levels. one can see about sports, events, politics and financial markets with the above said method

“Remidial Measure” – How It Works?

Many people complain that the remedial measure is not producing results and the difficulties have not vanished from their life. This comes out of insensitivities to energy and also partial understanding.

When you implement remedial measure or when ever you do remedial measure you will feel very peaceful. Also you will also feel restless after you do it. For example if some one has to struggle for their daily food and when they do Annapoorni mantra they will feel very peaceful while doing the pooja.  After finishing the puja they will have agitation within themselves. This arises due to the karmic release and churning. Energy will get churned and muck will come out within two hours of doing pooja.

 

Secondly there will be a period of resistance and period of growth. Some day they will find easier to do the remedial measure and some day they will find it hard. Care should be taken that what ever is the mood or problem niyama should not be broken. This will be cyclic in nature and will be there till the end of the problem. The ebb and tide in sadhana should be accepted.

Realization- why one is suffering? What are the karmic reasons? This many people are not aware. If some one says harsh speech is the reason for lack of money. One will not understand the logic behind this. How much ever advise the other person gives it does not sink in to head. The best way to make them understand is to make them do the sadhana. More the sadhana is done more the understanding becomes clear.

One will also need to understand what kind of blocks like people, places, attitude, speech and action is creating difficulties in the sadhana. This will happen slowly step by step for many people.

One will also be tested – for example if one wants to get married. Alliance and proposals will come but will get rejected without understanding. This is due to karmic block. Many times I see situation unfolding in a manner to test the level of understanding.

I was seeing movie of the great Tukaram in a kannada channel. Shivaji the king of Martha  would have come to visit him . After some time King Shivaji gets news that the mughals have known that he is with tukaram and any moment they would come to catch him. Many people will try to run away from the situations. But tukaram says “god is testing our faith and it is a great opportunity. let us pray” . The great bhakta tukaram had such profound understanding. Of course shivaji had great faith in his teacher. When people asked him to leave he simply says “ the great tukaram’s bhakthi will save me , with such a man around how can god let me down”. If normal people would have been there, they would have got panic and started abusing the teacher which in this case is tukaram. Once own’s understanding and niyama will be tested. Tukaram in that movie will say “god loves you so much that is reason he is testing us”.

 

Changes

Change of speech, attitude and action. One’s own attitude will become positive; speech will become polite, humble and kind. Action will be relevant to the problem. Many a times people do not solve problem because they are not doing what needs to be done due to distraction of some other problem. I have seen many childless couple instead of trying to have baby will try to make more money.

Change in situation environment will happen by connection of right places and going towards right people. For example marriage means alliances will start coming, going to marriage bureau etc. this will happen gradually and fully. One will be tested by delay, postponement etc.

Every time a situation become tougher one need to be clear that the karmic block is coming out. Better to work with it than get disheartened. For example an alliance comes and is postponed. Then you need to understand that you are close to the goal.  Do not worry.

Flow becomes effort less-

The alignment of people places objects attitudes will flow effortlessly and in a sequential manner. Once this is achieved on itself then you will know that the problem is about to be solved.

Keep the focus on the problem and do not get distracted.

Other people suggestion-

When some one suggests small remedy other than what you are doing especially with regard to temple listen to it. Do not argue there is alignment happening.

Dealing with doubts and fears

When you have doubts and fears that arises from unconscious mind, try to neutralize it with positive thoughts. This is also the old karma coming out. Positive thoughts help in manifestation.

What to do with desperation-

Every time another layer opens there will be a situation going against your desires. When this happens one will feel desperate and helpless.

Pray to god. One of friend calls it praying from soul level. In Tamil it is called as atma arthamayai. When one prays sincerely with soul felt and in desperation, then the divine grace descends. It is showers from heaven.

Atonement and repentance – this will bring in enormous healing. One can do it for past lives also. Just say I regret for all my past lives and negative deed or deed done with ignorance.

Guard the speech- if you speak kindly in an understanding manner many a times people want you succeed. When you help people every one feels that your problem should be solved. Every time one hurts people then people will feel that what your suffering has a reason and will be happy that you are having problem.

 

I dedicate this merit of this article to my personal difficulty I am struggling with.

 

May it get dissolved and the results be seen immediately.

 

May any one who read this article understanding happens spontaneously and see results immediately.

Technique, Technology & Thirst

The difference between technique and technology is that, technique works many times yet not very consistent. Technology works consistently no matter what ever happens. Take astrology, most of the techniques works many a times. Yet at times what the astrologer says goes wrong. Whereas you take a CAT scan machine. it detects the heart problems consistently and can be operated by any one provided they learn it. For example take a performance of musician; he/she will always have variation in the performance level. When the music is played and recorded, the output has the same quality as how it was recorded. This is difference between technique and technology.

Now to digress further, I wanted to change my food habit. I met a foreigner from thiruvanamalai. Her name was madhu crystal. She learnt Indian astrology from me. I had gone to thiruvanamalai to do a reading for an elderly foreign lady. Her name was Jeanine (she has motherliness oozing from every pore of the body). During that trip, I realized that madhu has wonderful instinct for eating good food i.e. natural food. After visiting Jeanine I was walking out of the house when suddenly out of inspiration I feet at madhu’s feet and asked her bless me. I was sincere in my action even though she was my student, she was a foreigner. I had no inhibition. she must have felt very happy and blessed me. she has been eating natural food for last 30 years easily. She also prepared food and gave me natural diet. Of course I paid for the food. Many people exploit the goodness of others thinking that they are very smart and intelligent.  But in reality, when you pay for the teaching it works miracles.

Within few days my food habit changed completely. I attribute my change to madhu’s blessing. She had perfected sadhana on natural food. When she blessed me I gave up food with oil, rice etc in one go.  For that she said ” you were ready that is why it happened”. Yes, it may be true but then the blessing was like showers from heaven. Little effort and jiffy the change happened.

There is another incident to share.  Jeanine is a very rich women for whom I did a reading once. She had lived in France in the best of condition. Even today she lives in an excellent condition. I realized she had gift of sharing or giving. I had asked her to bless me for giving. She was a foreigner and an elderly lady. Bang on! From that on wards my attitude towards giving changed. I stopped fighting with auto fellows for small change. I became generous even in my thoughts. My giving completely changed. It was simply because of the blessing of Jeanine. I was struggling to master this virtue and after the blessing my practice became effortless and results were instant.

Many people these days try out various astrology techniques. It does not work so well at times because it is taught by a person who has had siddhies in the technique. That why there is so much of confusion in understanding. Many people ask me why they learn astrology less than 30 days- 60 days so fast when other people take year to learn astrology the reason is siddhi.
Every technique has astral lock. It will work very well only when that astral resistance is broken. Just because a technique is available, it does mean it will work. One can know the theory principles but the techniques will work only when some one has broken that lock. Technology is mass of people have got siddies in that particular aspect. For example humanity has siddies for flying using planes. Of course one can fly in many ways. But this is the way humanity has mastered it to large extent.
Same thing with adviatha. It is said in scriptures that when one listens to a gnani then the results is instant realization. I use to wonder how and why? Now I understand that the gnani understanding is clear and also he has broken the astral lock. So the transmission of words becomes understanding because of high energy content in his words.
What he experiencing as reality is reported or let me put this way what is mastered is transmitted through the energy. That is why it is easier to learn with the live guru. The scripture also emphasizes this aspect. Indian elders are asked to bless at the end of the function for this reason.

There is another way to open a technique and it is to keep working on it .one day like a blooming flower the technique will open up and understanding will happen. Then you can transmit this to many people. Of course it will take years of hard work to show inches of progress.

when you want to learn or master any thing

Locate some one who is good at or mastered the attribute. They need not have big name but the way they live their life is an example of it.
Take their blessings.
Ask them to teach you that. For example food means eat from there hands, giving means u give them some thing.
Pay for it if you can. Other wise do return service as compensation.
Thank them for it and tell every one u have learnt from them.
Every time you meet them thank them and if need be take their blessing again.
Do not talk rubbish about them because if they feel bad, your practice will become shaky.
When some one praises you for those virtues, do not boast. Instead attribute it to the guru from whom you have learnt.
When you are tested many times, as I was tested when I took up the niyama of eating only natural food. Lot of people offered me cooked foods and sweets. I simply explained in a sweet manner with out hurting the person who offered food. When you hurt people due to niyama your own niyama will become shaky.

I dedicate this merit to my lineage, my family, and my students.
May they have supreme understanding.
May any one read this due to divine grace implement successfully and heal all there imbalances in life.
