It is alive. It is pure consciousness. You need to know that it has always been bothered and troubled by opposing thoughts. Thoughts pull you in one direction or another. Crime is not natural to any being; to any life. You know why? One cannot commit a crime towards oneself. It is impossible. Joy is our nature. Bliss is our nature, because you can 'be' in bliss, radiate bliss and bring joy to others, too. So there is no conflict of sankalpa and vikalpa. उपशाम्य सुखं तिष्ठ । Just observe this and relax. The moment the head drops down to the heart, sankalpas and vikalpas di...

Being part of the Art of Living family, we see miracles happening every day in our lives. Whatever we pray for in our hearts immediately manifests with Divine blessings. This happens very fast when we have unshakable faith in the Master. My life is also full of miracles, but there is one special incident that I would like to share with you all. I am a Software Engineer. I graduated in 2006. I did the Art of Living course in 2007. After that, my life has completely changed. Guruji sometimes says that when a person comes onto the spiritual path, he has to face many challenges in life. I too had many dreams to reach the top position in my workplace, which is definitely not an easy task to accomplish. I thought that since I was an Engineer, things would work out in my favour. But it turned out completely opposite. I was on bench for the first year and during this time, I didn’t get any technical exposure due to lack of on the job work experience, and then immediatelyI was put o...

Chapter 9 - Liberation From Lust  Day 51 At this moment, you are sitting here awake, or perhaps you are half-awake and half-asleep or you may be dreaming, thinking about something else. However much you are awake now, is this life? Is life not more than this?  At night, you will leave and sleep. Life is present even there. When you are dreaming, it may be a different life. In this way, life has different compartments, but there is no contact between compartments.  There are no windows, doors or any other connections. Somehow, you still move from one compartment to the other, though you cannot see from one to another or experience the others. All the situations that take place in the waking state are not so significant. They come and go. Whatever comes also goes, we cannot keep anything with us. The mind should be this dispassionate.  The mind will be dispassionate when sahaja vidyajayah happens. We'll look at an example. If someone were to ask you what yo...

Chapter 9 - Liberation From Lust  Day 50 Krishna was named Mohan. What does his name Manamohana Giridhadhari mean? "Manamohana" means the one who attracts the mind and can bind it completely. This is needed for a married person. Keep on increasing your attachment and move ahead. Let attachment happen toward your unbounded self, consciousness. Be attached to greater happiness, and do not be satisfied with small things.  This is contradictory. Sometimes we say to be satisfied and at other times we say not to be satisfied. This is very subtle. "Mohana" means the energy that attracts things to itself.  This divine energy, the energy of knowledge, the energy of the Guru is known as "mohana". This attraction is so powerful that in comparison every other happiness seems small. The happiness you feel in satsang, the joy of devotion, once you experience this spirit of devotion, you will not find joy in anything else.  When, in complete surrender, you da...
