Dr. Leaf's book alerts us to be careful about what goes into our brains and about what comes back to the surface from within, because both healthy thoughts and toxic thoughts can be built up with mental rehearsal. And both will change the actual structures inside our brains. This is the concept of neuroplasticity

Bonfire is created on the eve of Holi with an effigy on top of the pyre representing Holika. This spiritually denotes the evil or negativity present within each of us. Every household provides twigs and pieces of wood to prepare the bonfire. This means each of us should offer our unhealthy sanskars, wrong habits, resentment and hurt that we have held on to and unfulfilled desires of the past. Holika Dahan or burning of the pyre at night and people dancing around the bonfire, symbolize that we need to set all our negativities on fire. We can rejoice only after burning them into ashes so that they never come back. It also signifies setting ablaze evils of old world, to begin a new world of purity and virtues.

The simplest way to burn our negative sanskars is Meditation. Meditation is a powerful personal connection with The Supreme Power, Ocean of Purity and Love. When we remember someone, we are in connection with them, that is called Yog. When we are in powerful remembrance of The Supreme, Yog Agni (the fire of remembrance) burns all impurities. Mythologically it celebrates the destruction of the demon King Hiranyakashipu and Holika, and the protection of devotee Prahlaad. So it is a reminder of the power of faith and surrender. When we have unwavering faith, the Supreme Soul protects us from the flames of pain and suffering.

Motivate the Elephant  The mind’s emotional side — the Elephant — is extraordinarily powerful in its own way. Once you’ve directed the Rider, motivating the Elephant gets you moving down the path to change.The first step to motivating the Elephant is to find the feeling. When you fail to make changes that you really want to make, it’s not because you don’t understand their importance. For example, smokers understand that cigarettes are killing them, but often they don’t quit. What may be missing is a powerful feeling to get them going. While negative emotions — like fear, dread, and horror — can provide motivation, the authors encourage you to focus on the power of positive emotions like hope, optimism, and excitement.Once you’ve harnessed the power of the Elephant’s emotional response, the next step is to shrink the change. To do this, create a narrative that makes the emotional part of your mind feel that it’s already going down the right path. For example, focus on what you’ve already accomplished. Maybe you’ve already started taking the stairs more often, stopped drinking sugary drinks, or cut down to fewer cigarettes a day. Use the tiny changes you’ve already made to make the overall change seem smaller and within reach.

You start dying slowly - By Pablo Neruda

You start dying slowly
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly

When you kill your self-esteem;
When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.

You start dying slowly
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.

You start dying slowly

If you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love,
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime,
To run away from sensible advice…

(Pablo Neruda, Spanish poet won Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971)

Continuing from yesterday’s message, we have to know what we want to create in our lives that we care about. This has to be manifested very clearly in our minds. 𝗜𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆. Just like a flower, in the preparation of her beauty, chooses her colours with the greatest care. She adjusts her petals one by one. It is only in the full radiance of her beauty that she wishes to appear. And then one morning, exactly at sunrise, she suddenly shows herself. In the same manner, our inner mental preparation done with care will create beautiful outer realities for us. While it’s very important to have conviction in our values, it’s also important to be accepting others and enhancing our inner being. Else we may find ourselves alone at some point of time. Hence, honesty with humility, along with unconditional acceptance is also important.

Souls are capable of love, joy, blissfulness and compassion. All that we are seeking right now is pleasantness within and around us. If we find it in our mind, we call it peace. In relationships, it becomes love and compassion. And in energy, it becomes blissfulness. This is all that a soul is looking for. The ability of a human soul to stand on its conviction is immense. It is the World Drama’s plan to decide what’s possible and what’s impossible and God is also with us at every step. We, as souls, have to strive for our dreams. We should never use the past experience to decide on what can happen tomorrow. Meditation is all about transforming yourself from body consciousness to spiritual or soul consciousness; not in search of the divine, but a journey towards becoming an embodiment of divinity.

When you Dont give an opportunity to opportunity, How the Opportunity can Prove You.
How will you know, what is there in the treasure.

if you dont try for the treasure, you need to compromise with the opportunity which you have on hand only.

Once Give A Chance to Yourself, To Think Different
Once Give A Chance to Yourself, To Experience A Change
Once Give A Chance to Yourself, To Consider the decision of the Universe
Once Give A Chance to Yourself, to see how your prayers work
Once Give A Chance to Yourself, How life will be, if you build Faith on Miracles.

If you operae life with a fear, How Future Will be
You will end up with Wrong happening

If you Operate your life with trust in God,
You will be experiencing GLORY only.

Like It is Said
If Nothing works, Try Krishna (Bhagavan Srikrishna)
Completely Focus on different thing, may be Your Passionate Goal instead of the thing, which you are unable to take a decision. Which is not giving you hope on the decision as good or bad.

That is the time, to take a break.
If it is for you, it will come back
if it is not for you, you will get better than the best opportunities.

Everything is enegy
The energy you release to the universe will come back to you many many times.

Wish you all success for a great Decision and Great work

Imagine yourself exploring a large, dark cave while holding a lantern in your hand. The cave is your mind and the lantern is your awareness, that glowing ball of light. As you walk to one corner of the cave, the lantern lights up that corner, and you are able to see everything here and experience this corner of the cave. Now, if you were to leave this corner and walk to the other side of the dark cave, the corner that you were in would no longer be lit up, and you would not be able to see anything there or experience it. Wherever in the cave you walk with your lantern is what you will see and experience. Awareness and the mind work exactly the same way, except that you are the lantern, young Grasshopper.

Do what you are good at, that has always been my advice. If you can sing, sing your heart out; sing to the world, and the world will reward your singing. If you can dance, dance your way to the stars, and become a star. If you can play the tabla, then tabla your way to glory! If you can paint, become another Gauguin, another Jamini Roy. If you can visualize a story, a screenplay, aim to be another Satyajit Ray, a Renoir, a Benegal. If you can act, be an actor. If you are better behind the camera, be a great cameraman. Be a camera!

Bhakti Yoga by Swami Vivekananda

Bhakti Yoga, or the path of devotion, is based on the doctrine "Love is God and God is Love". The Bhakti yogi experiences separation and longs to meet or even just glimpse his beloved, God. Nothing else attracts him, nothing else holds his attention, all else is meaningless

Observing thought

I must love the very thing I am studying. If you want to understand a child, you must love and not condemn him. You must play with him, watch his movements, his idiosyncrasies, his ways of behavior; but if you merely condemn, resist or blame him, there is no comprehension of the child. Similarly, to understand what is, one must observe what one thinks, feels and does from moment to moment. That is the actual.

Alan Watts

​​If I first see a tree in the winter, I might assume that it is not a fruit-tree. But when I return in the summer to find it covered with plums, I must exclaim, "Excuse me! You were a fruit-tree after all." Imagine, then, that a billion years ago some beings from another part of the galaxy made a tour through the solar system in their flying saucer and found no life. They would dismiss it as "Just a bunch of old rocks!" But if they returned today, they would have to apologize: "Well—you were peopling rocks after all!" You may, of course, argue that there is no analogy between the two situations. The fruit-tree was at one time a seed inside a plum, but the earth—much less the solar system or the galaxy—was never a seed inside a person. But, oddly enough, you would be wrong.

🌿Say to the stubborn and proud: O you of little faith! Life on Earth lasts but a moment. Before you know it, you are overcome by Death. Of this there can be no doubt. If, at the end of your life you find that there is no Afterlife and no God, then you shall have no reason for concern. For, he that no longer is, has no concerns. But if at the end of this life you find that there is an Afterlife and a God, then you shall be overcome by remorse. Thus you shall cry, Alas! would that I had not come hither unprepared. For, you will go to an unknown place unprepared, like a fool who sets off upon a long journey with no provisions and no knowledge of the land he is bound for. Therefore, beware! do not knowingly walk in the footsteps of fools. Think not that your knowledge is faultless and that there is no one above you whose knowledge is best. You have been forewarned.

​​🌿Say to the thinking man: Do you believe in Love, Beauty and Joy? Do you believe in Truth, Justice and Goodness? If so, then you believe in God. For God Is Truth, Goodness and Beauty. He Is also the Force that drives man to seek, and empowers him to appreciate and enjoy, these things. Verily, God is all that and much more beside. If all this is, then God Is, too. Open your eyes and see! Up there, the Sun, the Moon and the shining Stars forever mark the day and night, the fortnight, the month, the seasons, the year and the space of many years. From the smallest atom to the Universe itself, all is established in Perfect Harmony and Order. Say, could all this be without a Wise Creator?

J Krishnamurti

Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life – perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody. That is the beauty of it. It has no technique and therefore no authority. When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy – if you are aware of all that in yourself, without any choice, that is part of meditation.
So meditation can take place when you are sitting in a bus or walking in the woods full of light and shadows, or listening to the singing of birds or looking at the face of your wife or child.

                🌷 LOVE , FEAR
                                &
                MEANING OF LIFE 🕊

​​Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment—or unlearning—of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.

Meaning doesn’t lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren’t love—the money, the car, the house, the prestige—we are loving things that can’t love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It’s not that they’re bad. It’s that they’re nothing.

Inner Child

Many of us have  an inner child who is  lost and  lonely and  feels  so rejected.
Perhaps the only contact  we have  had with our inner child for  a long times  is  to scold it and  criticize it.
Then we wonder  why  we are unhappy. We cannot reject a  part  of  us and  still be in  harmony within.
Part of healing is to gather all the parts of ourselves so we may be whole and  complete.
Let’s do some work to connect with these  neglected  inner parts of ourselves.

Find a Photo Find a photo of yourself as a child. If  you don’t have  one, ask your parents to send you  one. Study  this picture closely. What do you see?  It may be joy,
pain, sorrow, anger, or fear.
Do  you  love this child? Can you  relate to it? 
I took  a  small photo of my self at the age  of five  and had  it blown up to 12  by 15 so  that I  could  really see  my little boy.

1. Write  a  few words about your inner child.

Spiritual people talk of “non-attachment”.

But it’s brave to be attached.

It’s brave to let yourself care. Deeply.

Because you know that the one you love may die.

You know that death is infused into life, and that ultimately nothing is under our control.

You know that what you have you can lose, and our most secure plans crumble.

You know that each day may be your last.

Each day with a friend or loved one.

Each outing with your partner.

Each adventure with your child.

It may be your last.

It may all come to an end soon.

And without warning.

And you’ll be unprepared for the loss.

Still, you care.

You make plans.

You speak the word “tomorrow”.

And you dare to talk about “next year”.

You invest. You share your heart.

You listen.

You come to rely on others, and let them rely on you.

You are a person of your word.

You take the world seriously.

Yet you know it can all collapse in the blink of an eye.

Attached, yet non-attached,

you hold such paradox in your heart.

You understand the teachings of non-duality

yet you let yourself care about the world to the point of tears.

You are utterly Whole.

Our dreams and aspirations are like little seeds, invisible to the outer world. They could be different things for different people, but you alone will have your dreams as no one else has them. The seeds sleep deep in the heart of the earth's darkness, until someone among them is picked up with the desire to awaken. Then this little seed stretches itself and begins, shyly at first, to push a charming little twig upwards towards the sun. In the same manner, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. Learning the art of creating thoughts in our minds, our inner world, very consciously is very important. Otherwise what happens in the outer world would not be anything more than purely accidental.

𝗔𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀. Such a mind then organizes the whole system. Our body, mind and fundamental life energies are then all organized in one direction. This alignment has to be kept focused in one direction for some time – the direction of our dream, which we want to achieve and fulfill. Besides that, it is also important to have faith in the Supreme Soul. If we have a strong desire to achieve something, but also keep thinking about the limitations, which acts as an obstacle to the fulfillment of the desires, it creates internal conflict. A thought is a powerful vibration, and faith is a means to reduce negative thoughts. This resonance of positive thoughts is fundamental to success.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Since we’re human beings, we make mistakes. We cause others to suffer. We hurt our loved ones, and we feel regret. But without making mistakes, there is no way to learn. If you can learn from your mistakes, then you have already transformed garbage into flowers. Very often, our mistakes come from our unskillfulness, and not because we want to harm one another. I think of our behavior in terms of being more or less skillful rather than in terms of good and bad. If you are skillful, you can avoid making yourself suffer and the other person suffer. If there’s something you want to tell the other person, then you have to say it, but do so skillfully, in a way that leads to less rather than more suffering.

When you have to make an important decision, don’t lose sleep over it. Just take the special medicine called “time” and wait. Your subconscious will search for the answer.
Two days later, or three, the answer will dawn on you as you are waking up, taking a shower, or talking to a friend.
Put faith in your subconscious mind and give yourself time.

Every atom is trying to go and join itself to the next atom. Atoms after atoms combine, making huge balls, the earths, the suns, the moons, the stars, the planets. They in their turn, are trying to rush towards each other, and at last, we know that the whole universe, mental and material, will be fused into one. The process that is going on in the cosmos on a large scale, is the same as that going on in the microcosm on a smaller scale. Just as this universe has its existence in separation, in distinction, and all the while is rushing towards unity, non-separation, so in our little worlds each soul is born, as it were, cut off from the rest of the world. The more ignorant, the more unenlightened the soul, the more it thinks that it is separate from the rest of the universe. The more ignorant the person, the more he thinks, he will die or will be born, and so forth—ideas that are an expression of this separateness. But we find that, as knowledge comes, man grows, morality is evolved and the idea of non-separateness begins. Whether men understand it or not, they are impelled by that power behind to become unselfish. That is the foundation of all morality. It is the quintessence of all ethics, preached in any language, or in any religion, or by any prophet in the world.

Without love in our hearts,

Once a young child asked me, “How does it feel to be dead?” This is a very good, very deep question. I used the example of a cloud to explain to her about birth, death, and continuation. I explained that a cloud can never die. A cloud can only become something else, like rain or snow or hail. When you are a cloud, you feel like a cloud. And when you become rain, you feel like the rain. And when you become snow, you feel like the snow. Remanifestation is wonderful.

There are two ways for people to become happy. One way is by doing work that they enjoy. However, although this may be fun, it may feel meaningless when they look back on it later on. For example, drinking and hanging out every day with your friends may have been a lot of fun, but when you look back on it in 10 years you will feel like you wasted your time. When you go to a bar, you have a great time, talking loudly and laughing hard, but when you leave the bar, you feel kind of empty. You may feel that way because there are no benefits to spending your time on such pursuits.

Another way is helping others. As human beings, we feel happy when we are useful to others or do something beneficial for others. Although doing something that helped others may have been very hard at the time, when we look back on it, we feel proud. We feel that what we did was meaningful and beneficial, so we believe we did the right thing even if it took a lot of effort.
