*THE FALLEN FLOWERS*🌸🌸 Every morning I saw an elderly gentlemen picking up flowers fallen under the tree and keeping neatly in a basket , meant for temple visits. His activity was making me curious.   One fine morning I saw him again, and decided to quench my curiosity.   I asked him, "Uncle, I always see you picking up these freshly fallen flowers from the ground. What do you do with them?"   "I use it to worship deities and gods in my house," he replied calmly.   Now this was new. Haven’t heard anything like this before. So, I asked him again, “Why will you put fallen flowers, when there are plenty on the plant itself?”   "I am helping the flowers fulfil their purpose, to be with the God in their last days. They also have life, they also want to be with God like you and me in our last days, isn’t it" he asked me.  I just nodded and he continued. "People pluck the buds which have not even bloomed, and some only pluck the one’s whic...

 *Deep Rest and Bliss* Deep rest is bliss, and bliss is the understanding that only God exists. Knowing that only God exists is the deepest rest possible. This conviction or experience that "only God exists" is Samadhi. Samadhi is the mother of all talents, strengths and virtues. Samadhi is needed even for the most materialistic person because a materialistic person looks to gain strength and virtues. To be in Samadhi you do not need any effort or talents, strengths or virtues. Withdrawing from all types of physical and mental activity is rest. That is in-built in our system as sleep, and sleep is the best friend of activity. Samadhi is a conscious rest. Samadhi is the best friend of life. To be alive in your full potential, Samadhi is indispensable.

Belongingness can bring about a host of negative emotions like demand, jealousy, unawareness and lack of gratitude. Just look into your own life, you feel more grateful to strangers than the people who “belong” to you.           This is the biggest problem in relationships. People are nice to strangers and give more attention to them.            With a sense of belongingness comes carefreeness and lack of attention. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

*Chapter 14 - Pride, Humility & Luck* We need to look deeper into pride. Often we think it is arrogance and those who have arrogance think that it is their pride. They take pride in it but there is a clear distinction between the two. Arrogance is insensitive. When there is no humility or awareness in pride, it turns into arrogance.  When there is no love or service along with pride then, too, it turns into arrogance. It is a knife.  You can either cut the butter or hurt your finger. There is just a little twist to it. You become insensitive and get lost in your joy and your pride.  Pride also brings joy. In joy there is pride, but without humility and awareness it turns into arrogance.  This is exactly what is happening in today's world. Arrogance goes with the small mind. The small mind, being unaware of the magnitude of existence, thinks it is the greatest, the biggest, and the highest.  But pride is the very awareness of goodness and beauty a...

*Chapter 12 - Loss* Do you really own anything in order to lose it? It was never yours in the first place. Everything comes to you, including your body.  How long do you think you will have your body? The body belongs to the earth. It belongs to the creation. It is part of it.  However hard you try, you cannot hold on to it for too long. When you have to let go of your own body, then what can be said about other bodies, however near and dear and beautiful they are.  They are all so separate. Understand that everything is separate but one thing is not - the spirit. It is never away from you.  It is part of you and whatever is part of you can never be away from you. Life is such a mystery, you cannot understand it in a linear way. Truth is not linear. It is multi-dimensional.  You cannot question mysteries. You can just wonder about it. Pleasant things do not happen always. Unpleasant things also happen in the world.  It's part of the whole set-up...

*Chapter 13 - Habits* When you are pained by a habit very deeply, then you don't justify it. Usually you justify your habits.  Without justifying, if you really feel the pinch of the habit, then its pain becomes rare to you. At that moment the habit drops.  If you go to the extent of intensity of feeling the pain and dropping the habit, it leaves you.  More meditation, satsang and kriya can change habits. Proper company, restrictions in your attitude or keeping yourself busy in some creative work will also change your habits.  Do you know that chain smokers smoke less when they have a lot to do? When they have nothing to do, they smoke continuously.  If you keep totally busy, then your habits will drop. They will also drop if you are pained by them.  If you really feel the pinch and want to get over it then the surrender and prayer wells up. When prayer comes up, it changes your chemistry. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji Waves of emotions

*Chapter 14 - Pride, Humility & Luck*  The very purpose of so many varieties in creation is to somehow bring you back to yourself.  You are beautiful, you are beauty and in that bliss, all that you need, all that you would want, simply keeps happening.  Adi Shankaracharya describes it so beautifully - "There is a wish-giving tree in a small island right there in an ocean of milk. In that island is a beautiful house called chintamani gruhe (awareness) or house of wisdom. In that ocean surrounded by the wish giving tree, is the bed - the couch of Shiva.  O Mother you are sitting there smiling. And who would worship you? If someone is not lucky, he cannot. Who can love you? Only those who are lucky." Even to experience beauty you need to be lucky. Don't think of luck in terms of justice or in terms of the analytical mind.  It is just an expression of the heart. You realise that you cannot do it with your mind, your abilities or your capabilities....
