अंतिम लक्ष्य : निश्चिन्त होणे
श्री गुरुदेव

भक्ति करावी म्हणजे नेमके काय करावे?

तर मनात आपल्या उपास्य दैवतेचे (सर्वांत आवडणारे एकच उपास्य दैवत निवडून) स्मरण करून अतिशय कृतज्ञतेच्या भावाने अष्ट सात्विक भावांपैकी निदान १-२ तरी भाव जागृत करावे.

आपल्या उपास्य दैवताची प्रार्थना करून, सात्विक भावाने हृदयापासून कळवळून "माझी भक्ति वाढू दे" असे सांगावे. "माझे चित्त शुद्ध होऊ दे, त्यावरील सर्व अंध:कार दूर होऊ दे, माझे चित्त प्रकाशमय होऊ दे" अशी प्रार्थना जर रोज केलीत, मनापासून केलीत, हृदयापासून कळवळून केलीत तर तुमच्यात व ईश्वरात जे अन्तर आहे ते कमी होत जाईल.

संपूर्ण जीवन म्हणजे एक खेळ आहे, स्वप्न आहे असेच तुम्हाला भासु लागेल.

तुमच्यातील व ईश्वरातील अन्तर हे तुमच्या मनातील सकारात्मक भावाच्या, भक्तिच्या, प्रेमाच्या प्रमाणावर अवलंबून असते. मनात दया, क्षमा, शान्ति, करुणा व प्रेम या भावांचे प्रमाण जितके अधिक तितके तुम्ही देवाच्या अधिक जवळ जाता. या भावांमुळे तुमचे जीवन त्या प्रमाणाइतकेच रसमय, आनन्दी, चिन्तामुक्त व श्रद्धायुक्त बनत जाते.

या भावांचे प्रमाण जितके वाढेल तेवढे तुमचे ह्रदय उल्हसित व शांत बनत जाईल. आपल्या उपास्य देवावर तुमची श्रद्धा जितकी जास्त तेवढे तुम्ही निश्चिन्त होत जाल. त्या श्रद्धेच्या प्रमाणात तुमच्या मनावरील धुळ, अंधार हळुह्ळू झटकला जाईल.

तुमचे प्रेम तुमच्या देवावर जितके उत्कट असेल त्या प्रमाणात तुमच्या मनात प्रकाश होत जाईल. अधिक तुमच्यातील अविश्वास, संशय, चिंता, भीती इत्यादि सर्व नकारात्मक भावना हळुह्ळू नष्ट होत जातील. " हे जे शांत वाटते, ते माझ्या केवळ देवावरील श्रद्धेमुळे" असं आपण म्हणु लागतो.

जसजसा हृदयाकाशात प्रकाश होत जाईल तसतसा ईश्वर आपल्या अधिक निकट येत जाईल. हे कशामुळे? तर केवळ उत्कट श्रद्धेमुळे.

आणि त्यावेळी “Cast thy burden upon the Lord and go free!” हे वाक्य नुसते एक saying वा quotation म्हणून रहाणार नाही, तर ते तुम्हाला जगता येईल, अनुभवता येईल. त्याची प्रचिती घेता येईल.

मग कितीहि संकटं आली तरी तुम्ही एकटे नसणारच. तुमचा ईश्वर तुमच्या बरोबर असेल.

अशा प्रकारे उत्कट भक्तिने जेव्हा तुम्ही त्याच्या अगदी जवळ जाल, त्यावेळी तो तुमचा आवडता देव तुमच्यावर किती प्रेम करतो याची प्रचिती देईल. तुम्हाला त्याच्या प्रेमामध्ये जखडून ठेवील. नंतर तुम्ही परत त्या नकारात्मक वैचारिक जगात जाऊच शकणार नाहीत.

तुम्हाला मग अशक्य असे काहीच वाटणार नाही. आणि तुम्हाला तुमच्या जीवनाचे सार्थक करून घेण्याचा मार्ग सापडेल. तुम्हाला काही करण्याची आवश्यकताच उरणार नाही. सर्व काही तोच करेल. तुमच्या भल्यासाठी. तोच तुम्हाला श्रद्धेच्या मार्गावरून पूर्णशुद्धतेकडे घेऊन जाईल. तुमची शुद्ध होण्यासाठी जेव्हढी ऊत्कट ईच्छा असेल त्याप्रमाणात तो सर्व काही उपलब्ध करून देत जाईल. तुमच्यासाठी. तुम्ही फ़क्त ऊत्कट भक्ति करणे हेच आपले काम समजावे व मनातले सर्व त्याला सांगत जावे, मित्राप्रमाणे.
त्याप्रमाणे जर तुमची भक्ती वाढत गेली तर तुमचे कल्याण झालेच म्हणून समजा. तुमच्या जीवन जगण्याचेही सार्थक होईल.

जीवनाचे सार्थक कशात आहे? तर ते आत्मसाक्षात्कारात.
ज्यावेळी आपला आत्मा त्या परमप्रिय परमशुद्ध ॐकार स्वरूपात, परमात्म्यात मिसळून जाईल, अगदी जिवंतपणीच. त्या परमात्म्यात, त्याच्या मोठ्या मनात आपले छोटे मन मिसळून जाईल, विलीन होईल व ते तसं होणं हेच आपले अंतिम लक्ष्य असावयास हवे. आपले जीवन हे त्यासाठीच त्याने दिले आहे हे. या सुंदर नरदेहाचे हेच अंतिम ध्येय ठेऊन वागल्यास तुमचा परमेश्वर तुमच्यावर खुश होईल. व एकदा का तो प्रसन्न झाला की तो तुमच्यावर त्याच्या प्रेमाचा नुसता वर्षाव करून थांबणार नाही तर तो तुम्हाला त्याचंच रूप बहाल करेल. तेव्हा आपण स्वत:च परमात्मरूप बनू.

पण हे केव्हा तर ज्यावेळी त्या परमप्रिय परमात्म्याचेच प्रतिबिंब असलेला आपला आत्मा (जीवात्मा) खूष होईल असे आपण वागत गेलो तर. आपला आत्मा (ज़मीर) आपल्याला प्रत्येकवेळी शुद्ध वागण्याचा सल्ला देत असतो. त्याप्रमाणे जर आपण वागत गेलो तर आपण शुद्धतेच्या व भक्तीच्या पायर्‍या झपाट्याने चढून जाऊ. या मार्गावर आपली चिकाटी किती आहे हे पडताळून पाहण्यासाठी अनेक दु:ख व संकटांना सकारात्मकरीत्या तोंड द्यावे लागेल. म्हणजे दु:खामुळे, संकटांमुळे तुम्ही गांगरून जाता, चिंता करता, लोकांच्या सहानुभूतीची अपेक्षा करता की दुसर्‍या बाजूने विचार करता? म्हणजे मनापासून हॄदयापासून कळवळून ईश्वराची प्रार्थना करता. त्याच्यावर श्रद्धा ठेऊन विश्वास ठेऊन पूर्ण खात्रीने निश्चिंत होऊन दुसर्‍यांना धीर देता, स्वत:चे व दुसर्‍याचेही मनोबल वाढविण्याचा प्रयत्न करता, शांत रहाता हेच त्या आपल्या ऊपास्य देवाला पडताळून/ तपासून पहायचे असते.

एकदा त्याची खात्री झाली की अमुक माणूस चांगल्या बाजूने विचार करतो की तो त्याची श्रद्धा किती खोल आहे हे तपासून पहातो. व त्याला त्या मार्गावर जास्तीत जास्त दॄढ करीत जातो.

अर्थात या ज्या पायर्‍या आहेत आपल्या शुद्ध स्वरूपाकडे जाण्याच्या त्या पायर्‍या चढून जाण्यासाठी ठराविक प्रारब्द्ध जे असते, ते भोगावेच लागते. जेव्हा ईश्वराने ठरविलेले एखाद्या पायर्‍यांवरील भोग संपतात तेव्हाच त्याला वरच्या पायरीवर चढण्याची जाणिव होते. किंवा तेव्हाच त्याला वरच्या पायरीवरील विचार पटतात. ठराविक पायर्‍यांवरील भोग जोपर्यंत संपत नाही तोपर्यंत त्याला कितीहि वेळा सांगितले तरी वरच्या पायरीवरील विचार पटत नाहीत. व जेव्हा त्याचे त्या पायरीवरील भोग संपतात किंवा अनेक पूण्यकर्मे त्याच्या हातून होतात, तेव्हाच त्याला वरच्या पायरीवर चढता येते.

उदाहरणार्थ : एखादी व्यक्ती काही गुन्हा केल्याने जेलमध्ये जाते, तिथे तिला अनेक भोग भोगावे लागतात.
आणि जर जेलमध्ये त्याने वाईट वर्तन केले तर त्याची शिक्षा अधिक कठोर केली जाते. पण जर त्याने अनेकप्रकारे चांगले वर्तन केले तर मात्र त्याची शिक्षा शिथिल करून त्याबद्दल त्याचे कौतुक केले जाते. अगदी त्याचप्रमाणे आपल्याच कर्माचे भोग आपल्याला भोगावे लागतात. पण आपण इथे चांगले वागून पुण्य करून आपले भोग कमी करू शकतो. चांगली कर्म करता करता आपली आपल्या इष्ट्देवतेबद्दल भक्ती कशी ऊत्कट होईल याकडे जर आपण जास्तीत जास्त लक्ष दिले तर आपले मन अधिकाधिक शांत होत जाईल व आपल्याला आपल्या जीवनाचे सार्थक करून देणारे आत्मज्ञानी सद्गुरू भेटतील व त्यांच्या आशिर्वादाने तुमच्या जीवनाचे सार्थक करणे अतिशय सोपे जाईल. व आपण सर्व पायर्‍या भराभर चढून जाऊ. पूर्णशुद्धतेपर्यंत.... आत्मसाक्षात्काराप्रत.....
मोक्षाप्रत.......!

Peace March

ॐ पूर्णमद: पूर्णमिदम्
पूर्णात पूर्णम् उदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णम् आदाय
पुर्णमेवावशिष्यते ll

We in ourselves are whole. पूर्णम् Why then we don’t feel it? In the answer of this question lies the whole of Adhyaatmashaastra. What is the process of being whole? How can we feel पूर्णम्। What are the steps towards this perfection? There are four paths given in the ‘Bhagawadgeeta’ by Bhagawan Shrikrishna : Gyaanyoga, Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga & Rajyoga.

Among these four, भक्तियोग is very simple & very strong path to achieve this पूर्णता
In नारद भक्तिसूत्र while defining the भक्ति, नारदमुनी has clearly stated the परिणाम of भक्ति.

Yallabdhwa pumaan siddho Bhavati
Amruto Bhavati Trupto Bhavati

Paramprem of Ishwar is such a Rasaayan by which Antahkaran of Bhakta gets purified and he becomes siddha, Amrut & Trupta.

Having love of God nothing remains for him to achieve. He gets the real happiness & entire satisfaction in this state.

What is the process then, to achieve this Purnata, this total satisfaction?
Bhakti is one of the path towards this perfection. The path which is very easy to follow. The path on which anybody can walk through. Anybody who is illiterate, anybody who is pure at heart & mind. Anybody who is serene. Anybody who loves the hieghest truth. Anybody who loves good & other's happiness.

If we go to search this "Anybody" it is difficult to get such a person in this Kaliyug. Because as we see the Guna's of a Bhakta, it is difficult to have a Sad-bhakta. They are so rare in today's world. It is very difficult to find them. Though we find the Bhakta, it is most difficult to recognize the True Bhakta.

Because in this Kaliyug the virtue's of true Bhakta are ignored. They are treated as his weaknesses & not his strong points. Actually forgiveness, helping others, truth, Nishkaam Karma, bearing other's faults, not to put blame on others all these are virtue's or you can say 'Guts' / 'Spiritual Guts' of a pure Bhakta.

Pure Bhakta depends upon his Upaasya Daivat or his Beloved God for everythng. For a common man this dependency is very difficult, but for a true Bhakta, it is very easy, as his whole life, his feelings, his aacharan everything is connected to Him. He (the Bhakta)talks to Him(God) like he is his First friend, then fast friend & then Priyatam. And we know when "X" is in love with "Y", he is always thinking about "Y" only. And do you know my dear friends, how powerful is the smaraN of God is? There is tremendous power in just the remembrance of Him.

Our mind becomes purer because of even a slight smruti of that Almighty (PoorNabrahma). Even if the smaraN is Xanbhar i.e. for a smallest moment only, it purifies the whole of us within. But we wander in this world whole day & it is difficult for us to maintain this purity. So, if we want to get purer & purer in our life day by day & get pure peace i.e. Bliss, we must remember God every now & then, our true friend, our true beloved.

We have to surrender all our beleifs, all our negative feelings like fear, anxieties, regrets, insecurities to His Holy Feet, who recides in our own heart. And to exprerience Him again we have to clean our heart & mind by His only name & remembrance with faith. This is the easy remedy to all our problems.

"To Him alone you go, in all conditions." says the BhagavadGeeta.

The more is our surrender unto Him, the more shall He come to express Himself through us.

Therefore let us carry ourselves confidently; success shall be ours, and in fact, failure can only be "Success Delayed" to every True Bhakta of the Lord.

We must understand some fundamentsl rules of Adhyaatmashaastra.

As Swami Chinmayananda in his "We Must" booklet states "All our success entirely depends upon ourselves. Let us never look outside ourselves for help. Let us not fall into the delusion that the influence of others would enable us to do better or accomplish more."

He firmly says : "Spiritual education and religious practices make us realise that we are a part of a whole scheme, and the essential creativeness behind the whole universe is the essential Essence ruling in the heart of each one of us : Shivoham Shivoham ".

In conclusion I would like to say that if you want to feel your heart & mind with pure peace / bliss, you must understand the AdhyaatmaShaastra & its fundamental rules, which we find in our ancient heritage Vedas, Upanishadas, Shastras, Puraanaas. If these are difficult to understand & you want in simple language then go to the "Saint's Literature" in your own mother toungue.

Enlightened Saints are KaruNaamayi  towards wordly people. They explain the truths & rules (they have experienced) in a very simple language & lucid manner. If you ever read their literature or listen to them or their cassattes or CDs with pure Jidhnyasa having faith, you will definately be satisfied.

So dear friends are you ready for a Peace March which begins only from our heart.......?

|| SA VIDYA YA VIMUKTAYE ||

ll सा विद्या या विमुक्तये ll

This is the motto of the D. T. S. S. College, which is written at the entrance of the College. Banasthali Vidyapith  and University of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh also has the same motto.

The source of "sa vidya ya vimuktaye" is Vishnu Purana 1.19.41:

Verse:

tat-karma yan-na bhandaaya

saa vidhyaa yaa vimuktaye;

aayaa saayaa param karma

vidyaa-anyaa shilpa naipu Nam

Meaning:

Those acts alone which help one to avoid bondage are the rightful/righteous acts and that learning alone which leads one to release is real knowledge or vidya.

All other acts end up only in fatigue and all other learning is a mere exhibition of skill in arts

which means Education is that which has Liberation as its aim or Knowledge is that which liberates.

विद्या

:

Generally we call vidya to everything which gives knowledge. There are many types of vidyas which we can learn in this world. Among these, one is Adhyatma vidya. And according to the scriptures “Adhyatma vidya” alone liberates the human being from this materialistic world. One can get Mukti from this world, because of knowledge & experience of the Adhyatma vidya i.e. spiritual knowledge only.

If we take liberation as its aim, then education will mean only Adhyatma vidya. And all other vidyas will be of no use for spiritual upliftment of the Soul. This clearly means a person who is not literate in the materialistic world, or who has not attended the so called schools or colleges, which gives education for livelihood, he also can attain the mukti and this is very true. Because, in this world we can see the enlightened souls, purest souls who have acquired the paramoccha gyan on the basis of their purity & bhakti of the Supreme One, and many of them have not attended any school or college.

Mukti :

The meaning of getting “Mukti” is not dying, but getting true knowledge of Atman & Paramatman. It is like waking up from a dream. Because after getting Mukti a human being knows that everything we experience in this world is like a dream & nothing is true, except the Soul(jeev/aatmaa) and Brahma(shiv/parmaatmaa). Everything is Mitthyaa. And so, I am different from what I feel or think now in this world. I am Aatman & not what I am called by everybody.

The person who is mukta, is called the “Enlightened One” Aatmasaakshaatkaari.  That means He perceives this world as a play or a dream. He fully knows that this sharer/deh is not me, I am Atman. Like in a dream nobody can do anything to me because nobody knows me, who I am. Dream is an illusion. In our dream anything can happen anywhere & we are present everywhere, we know everything, we are saakshi of every moment in the dream, because it is our dream. Likewise in this world also what we experience is our own experience. "Pindi Te Brahmaandi" Pind experiences only what is his feelings & nothing else like we experience in a dream. Each one's life is special for that pind. Experiences of two persons are never the same. Each & every person thinks differently. "Pinde Pinde matirbhinnaa " Each person has got different mati. It is a long process for a pind to achieve mukti as our saints say the pind has to undergo 84 lacs of births for mukti. That is why we have to try for mukti in this very birth. Because only nardeh and no-other body can try for mukti.

Simple Meaning Of Mukti :

When we are awake from a dream we understand that we were watching a dream in our sleep. And nothing has happened as seen in the dream. It was my illusion. In the dream, I was thinking all (which is happening there) as a real. I was experiencing all that with attachment, but now I’m awake from that illusion & now I can understand that I am different from what I was in my dream. That’s why whatever I had experienced in the dream was everything false & I understand now that nothing has happened to me.

In the same way what we experience here in this world is not happening to me because I am very different from what I’m experiencing here as myself. This body, my name, my family, my status, my education, my colour, my looks, my habits, my home…..all these things are not mine. I am very different from all these things. I am Atman which is bound in this deh. When this deh will be perished / dead all these things will disappear & only I (the Aatman) will remain.

Atman has to try to come out or to be free from this deh without any harm to this body that is called mukti. This is an exact meaning of mukti. When the Atman comes out of this deh without any damage to it, it is mukti from this world. He can have the knowledge of all Brahmand that means he can have gyan of everything like divine. He will be totally blissful, all pervading, and omnipotent. All the God’s adjectives can be put before his name. Atmagyani saints are all mukta, as they have seen their own Atman out of their body in this very birth, as we see ourselves in the mirror. But here that body same like him though looks same like him, it doesn’t have hunger, thirst, feelings etc… gunas like our body. And it is like in front photo, it doesn’t show it’s back. It can be seen anywhere and everywhere. It can be seen in his shatru as well as in his friends, in animals or in any padaartha. It doesn’t have to walk anywhere. It can go anywhere without walking.

If man / human being has got this capacity to see the Atman out of his body (Aatmasaakshaatkaar) & be free from all bondages, then why not try for the same, in this very birth?

Attaining Mukti :

Trying to get mukti is not everybody’s cup of tea. According to our ancient granthas, each soul tries to go upwards from its first birth on this universe. And we all know that it is said that we have to pass from each yoni to get this Human Body i.e. Nardeh. To achieve Mukti, one has to be totally pure i.e. Purnashuddha. That means the soul which doesn’t have a slight ansh of Gunas. It has to be Trigunarahit for being mukta.

Our soul has gathered so many layers of Shadripus and Trigunas i.e. Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh, Mad, Matsar and Sattva, Raja, Tama. In this birth we have to be pure from these nine Ripus. And one biggest shatru of mukti is Ahamkaar. We have to get rid of this Ahamkaar, then our Aham will become Soham. Then only we can attain the Mukti. And this is very difficult without true & pure Bhakti. Through Bhakti all these big shatrus get melted away and the Chitta of the Bhakta gets Shuddha / Pavitra. Then the chitta can become the abode of all great virtues.

Mukti is to get our small mind merged in to the Supreme Mind.

But when can it happen? As for merging, the ingredients of the two should be the same i.e. pure then only the two of them will totally merged in to one another. For that we have to be clean and pure i. e. without these nine Ripus and Ahamkaar i.e. Purnashuddha.

To make it happen, the soul should crave for the highest values in life. The education should help man to achieve higher values every time. Then only it will help Man to be free from the bondage or for liberation.

In the words of great seer Osho, “What is liberation? A journey to the heights, going higher and higher, transcending oneself day after day. A journey to loftier heights is real learning, knowledge.”  Further he says… “ The race for coming first cannot liberate anyone. There are some basic reasons for this. The first thing is, one who joins that race remains in conflict and in tension; he has begun to fight. He is creating enmities with others. One who creates enmity cannot remain free from it; he is bound to it. Only he who is a friend to all can become liberated. And only he who is not in competition with anybody can become a friend to all.”  (Citation : page no. 4 & 5 of Chapter 5, in the book ‘Revolution in Education’ by Osho in Osho Online Library http://www.osho.com/library/)       

                            

Easiest Way For Attaining Mukti :

Haa Janma Aahe Bhakti Karanyaacha

Haa Janma Aahe Mukti Milavanyaacha

Haa Janma Naahi Punhaa….. (Marathi)

Bhakti is the easiest way towards mukti. The person who does bhakti becomes pure minded.

Mind has the power or potential to pure itself when it comes into contact with God. When mind comes in contact with God, with feelings, it is out of the effect of time & space. Time and space doesn’t affect the mind & body each time when it comes in contact with God with love. See the persons, who love God, they look younger than others. His mind also is truly pure. That means he /she skips the time in his/her life by contacting God the Parmaatman with love. This is a magic mantra to be young.  But my dear friends for that we must have a pure heart. Then only it CAN happen. You can also see the Yogis & Bhaktas, how young they look. We can never make-out the age of Yogis & true Bhaktas i.e. Saints.

Purity of mind & happiness go hand in hand. If you read “Healing with Food by Anjali Mukherji” she is also of the same opinion. She talks about the happinrss thus “Cleansing of mind is as important as cleansing of the body. When you are able to do that you can be truly happy.” (p.303, Healing with Food by Anjali Mukherji)    

In the words of the great bhakta Bhakivedanta Prabhupada, “The real disease is in the heart. If the mind is cleansed, a person cannot be harmed by material disease. To cleanse the mind and heart from all misconceptions, one should take to this chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. This is both easy and beneficial. By chanting the name of the Lord, one is immediately freed the blazing fire of material existence. (p.28, Spiritual Innovators, ed by Ira Rifkin (source: p.68, The Nectar of Instruction.))

The great Management Guru of this century, Prof. Arindam Chaudhary in his book “Count Your Chicken Before They Hatch” praises Lord Krishna & Mahatma Gandhi for their teachings. See p.177 to p.192 of this book.

“The best way to enjoy Divine Bliss was to develop Devotion (Bhakti) which could be perfected by intense practice, driving away the impurities in the mind and enshrining God’s form therein.” (P.170, Devotion leads to God realization 6.12, The Hindu Speaks on Religious Values)

From these quotes and above explanation we can understand the true Vidya is that education which aims at liberation.

So dear friends are you ready to take the first step towards the true education, which aims at liberation. Being pure at heart and soul by simple and pure bhakti i.e. loving only ONE form of GOD whole heartedly, which will definitely lead you to love for all with pure heart and at the end to liberation?

Seven Divine Rules for Success

Dear Students,

Here are some TRUE ideas, tasted by many, for your good fortune.

Do you know that you have tremendous potential to bring into existence, whatever good you think and crave-for intensely in your heart and mind ?

Yes, it is 100% true, I can challenge you about that. But for that there are some divine rules.

Dear friends, do you know that (pure) man’s word is his WAND (magic stick) filled with power. And that the death and life are in the power of his tongue ! So man has power to change an unhappy condition into happiness and success by waving over it, the wand of his word.

First and foremost you must accept that YOU ARE DIVINE.

As Swami Vivekanand says,

“Let eyes grow dim & heart grow faint,
And friendship fail and love betray,
Let fate its hundred horrors send,
And clotted darkness block the way .

All nature wear one angry frown .
To crush you out still know my soul
you are Divine, March on and on.
Nor right nor left but to the goal !

Who dares misery love, And hug the form of death,
Dance in destruction’s dance, To him the mother comes.

If the sun by the cloud is hidden a bit,
If the welkin shows but gloom,
Still hold on yet a while,
brave heart,
The victory is sure to come.

No winter was but summer came behind,
Each hollow crests the wave,
They push each other in light and shad,
Be steady then and brave.
The duties of life are sore indeed,
And its pleasures fleeting vain.
The goal so shadowy seems and dim,
yet plod on through the dark,
brave heart,
with all thy might and main.
Be bold and face
The truth ! Be one with it ! Let visions cease.
Or if you can’t, dream but truer dreams,
Which are Eternal love and service free.
Strike off thy fetters ! Bonds that bind thee down,
of shinning gold or darker, baser ore,
Love, hate -- good, bad ---
and all the dual throng.
Know, slave is slave, caressed
or whipped, not free;
For fetters, though of gold, are
Not less strong to bind.

By these words of strong faith in the divinity within us; you can definitely understand that “You Are Divine” and you are not weak and meek . You can do whatever your heart and mind desire, which is good for you and for others. Because when you are divine you cannot and will never desire to make you or anybody else unhappy. And that won’t work out. THIS IS THE FIRST DIVINE RULE.

Our soul descended on this earth and obtained this good position in human body. Our life is meant for profitable and virtuous purpose and not to live like animals and commit sins. So if you keep others happy, you will be happy. Hence, “To Be Happy & Keep Others Happy”, THIS IS THE SECOND DIVINE RULE.

Tensing went up the Everest, the highest peak in the world. But we can go much higher than him in merits, if we think divinely.

Thinking is the main crux of life.
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t.
It’s almost certain, you won’t !

If you think you will loss, you’re lost,
for out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will,
Its all in a state of mind.

If you think you’re out classed, you are.
You’re got to think high to rise,
you’re got to be sure of yourself,
Before you can even win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go to
the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later,
the man who wins,
is the man who thinks he can.
,,,,,,,,, Walter D. Wintla.

Therefore, Fill your brain with high thoughts,
highest ideals, place them day and night before you
and out of that will come great work.
,,,,,,,, Swami Vivekanand.

There are certain words or pictures which impress the subconscious mind. Each and every day fill your mind with positive thoughts and you will definitely get success of your wish. For that, fill and feel positive thoughts inside yourself. Redundant thoughts will be thrown out of your subconscious mind automatically if you “Crave For The Good And For Success, Only”. THIS IS THE THIRD DIVINE RULE.

There is another extremely great clue for becoming successful which has lead down by all saints in the world and millions of people have experienced its truth. It is a divine way or royal road to be successful.

You have to choose your favorite God (Ishtdevata) whichever you like; have faith in him. Enlightened saint will be the best because you can see him and talk to him personally. You must personally have his attractive photograph which you like the most. You have to fill your mind with this photograph that you can see him with your closed eyes. You can develop friendship with this messiah in your mind SECRETLY. “Choosing Our Favourite God” IS THE FORTH DIVINE RULE.

You can tell him everything which you experience and then pray like this.

“Dear God,
Please, guide me, love me and forgive me
as I am your lad who do not know what is good or bad
you know what is good for me
and you have the power to give to me.
I promise you that I will definitely go on
the road which you show me and lead me.
Please, help me and make me pure at heart.
Give me knowledge which I do not know.
Make me good.
Give me sense and strength that
I can help others and earn your grace, my lord.
I need your guidance to grow divinely.
Give me your grace through which
my divine potential can be seen by you.”

Such a Prayer will make you pure at heart and mind and then whichever thoughts you sow in your mind. They will definitely be sprouted one day, which depends only on your degree of craving to become pure, good and positive. “Praying Intensely To Your Personal God” IS THE FIFTH DIVINE RULE.

Being pure at heart & mind is very essential. Because, God watches your heart & mind only, at every moment. “Being Pure At Heart & Mind” IS THE SIXTH DIVINE RULE.
As farmer cleans the land and takes out the unwanted and harmful things and then sow the seeds and afterwards he prevent them from insects etc. by caring the most. In the same way you have to take care of your good thoughts good “ Sankalp”, good desires that they would not become weak or vanish from your mind. You have to take care of these thoughts by day and night thinking and thinking ….
The doubts about fulfilling these should not enter your mind and even if they enter, you have got the strong weapon of “intense prayer” to your Ishtadevta, to take out every bad thought from your subconscious mind.
Last and very important fact is that before you get the result of your wish, never ever utter about your dream to any one, except your Ishtadevta that too only in your mind, SECRETELY.
“SECRECY” IS THE SEVENTH & FINAL DIVINE RULE.

SEVEN IS HEAVEN ! So Go By These Seven Divine Rules & You Can Meet Even GOD On This Very Earth. Don’t Doubt !!!

Be Brave !

DEAR STUDENTS,

You must have enjoyed the holidays, Correct? Now back to pavilion ,

“Oh ! My god , I am so frightened , the exam is so near & I don’t know what to study & when to study ?”

Is it your state of mind nowadays ?

Don’t worry !

Yes, don’t panic. Give your mind a boost. Start feeding your mind every positive idea of your success, which you can.

Sit Quietly alone & remember your good points. Remind your good marks, your good remarks which your parents or your teachers or your friends & relatives have given you from time to time.

Remembered? see how you feel now.

O.k.?

You should never forget that you have got tremendous capacity to be successful. If you think for yourself you will come to know that, “Yes, I can achieve this”. Though it is little difficult, it is not at all impossible to achieve!

Remember the words of Swami Vivekananda : ---

“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. believe in that; do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us believe now-a-days. You can do anything & everything, without even the guidance of any one. All power is there. Stand up and express the divinity within you.

Be brave, be brave.

Keep up the deepest mental poise, take not even the slightest notice of what puerile creatures may be saying against you. Indifference ! Indifference ! Indifference ! Bear in mind the eyes are two in number, and so the ears, but the mouth is but one. All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles.

What makes you weep, my friend? In you is all power. Summon up your all-powerful nature, oh, mighty one! And this whole universe will lie at your feet. it is the self alone that predominates and not matter. It is those foolish people who identify themselves with their bodies that piteously cry, ‘weak, weak, we are weak’, what the nation wants is pluck and scientific genius. We want great spirit, tremendous energy and boundless enthusiasm; no womanliness will do. It is the man of action, the lion-heart, that the goddess of wealth resorts to.

No need of looking behind. Forward ! We want infinite energy, infinite zeal, infinite courage, and infinite patience; then only will great things be achieved.”

BE CONFIDENT;
STUDY
HARD
&
PRAY
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HEART
THEN
YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE

SUCCESSFUL !

Steps Towards Success

GET YOUR THINKING IN ORDER
NURTURE GREAT THOUGHTS,
FOR YOU WILL NEVER GO HIGHER
THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.

--- BENJAMINE DISRAELI.

DEAR STUDENTS,

Your Exam Is Near & You All Must Be In A Big Tension. But There Is Nothing To Take Tension ,Because Whatever You Want ,You Will Get, Success Is All Yours. There Are Only Few Steps Between You And Your Success. You Just Have To Climb Those Steps To Be Successful.
You Must Have Fixed A Goal In Your Mind. While Fixing The Goal You Should Go As High As You Can. Because It Is Nature’s Law That Whatever You Think, You Can Achieve. Believe This.
Next Step Is Having Tremendous Faith On Your Goal / Ideal / Aim. Whatever May Happen I Am Going To Achieve It, I’ll Definitely Get It. Have Such A Faith.
After That, “Continuous Positive Thinking” Is Very Very Essential. Don’t Leave Your Goal / Idea / Aim Just Like That. You Have To Boost It, Nurture It By You Positive Thoughts. Just Like Watering A Small Plant To Grow.
Next To That Is Praying Your Dear God, Your Favorite God, From The Bottom Of Your Heart. The Wonder Of God Is That He Listens To Each One Of Us, As If We Are Alone To Listen To.
One Most Important Thing Is Don’t Ever Grab Any Negative Thought Of Others About You. If People Talk Negative About You Or Your Result, Let Them Do So, Because That Will Affect Their Thinking. You
Don’t Have To Bother About “Their” Thinking. The Ultimate Result Depends
Only Upon “Your” Thinking.
Even After The Exam, If Still You Get Disturbed By What People
Talk About Your Result, The Best Way Is To Leave It To God. Have
Tremendous Faith, That Your God Will Do Whatever You Are Thinking. Talk
To Your Favorite God Everyday Every Moment, Inside Your Heart.

“Cast Thy Burden Upon The Lord, & Go Free !”

It Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Have To Study Now. Study Hard But Without
Tension Or Fear, With Strong Positive Attitude, With Faith & Confidence.
If You Don’t Believe In God, Pray To Your “Self” i.e. Atmadev (आत्मदेव)
But Prayer Should Be From The Bottom Of The Heart, As If There Is A
“Kalpavriksha” ( कल्पवृक्ष ) Inside You, That Whatever You Demand You Will
Get.
Experience It & Be Successful!
