Best v/s worst paradox!
|
|
Life is full of contradictions and ironies. Truth is always self-contradictory!  I am the best and worst.. I am the most intelligent and most foolish at the same time! I am good and bad at the same time! I am a multi-dimensional guy but think linearly some times.. I am the best and worst.. I am the best and worst.. I am the best and worst.. I am the best and worst.. I am the best and worst.. Her “letting go” is her biggest strengh as well as her worst weakness many a times! I am the best and worst.. Einstein: Most ever intelligent in the mankind history. But he was a slow thinker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isaac Newton: Was the GREATEST ever scientist, but he did stupid things. [4] Osama Bin Laden is the cruelest guy, yet he is kind [to his family and team-members (terrorists!)] I am the best and worst.. I see/touch matter ONLY but I know I have a mind! [5] I am a physicist and spiritualist! [6] Light is waves yet it is particles (photons)! [7] I am the best and worst.. History”s best computer science innovators/pioneers were NOT computer scientists, but they ARE physicists & mathematicians. [8] What you see is NOT truth; Truth is beyond our knowledge/common sense. [9] You practically “see” a mirage which never exists! I am the best and worst.. I can”t “see” “myself” but I know I exist! I will die in a few decades, still I am ETERNAL; I know I will never ever die! nor was I ever born!! Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya.. 
Too much to digest?? Just take a cold water shower 🙂 1 Watch Matrix movie or read Yoga Vasishta/Bhagavadgita to understand this! |
Happy Maha Shiva Ratri
Happy Mahashivratri to all
Shiva, the Peace within You
Ratri or night is that which gives comfort to the mind, body & soul.
Shivaratri is that which brings a deep sense of serenity & benevolence.
Any meditation you do on this day has a manifold effect, 100 times more
of an effect, for this is the day when spirit touches the earth.

<font color=”#000000″></font>
Your Nature is Shiva
Peace is your nature, yet you remain restless.
Freedom is your nature, yet you remain in bondage.
Happiness is your nature, yet you become miserable for some reason or
another.
Contentment is your nature, yet you continue to reel in desires.
Benevolence is your nature, yet you don”t reach out.
Going towards your nature is Sadhana.
Sadhana is becoming what you truly Are!
Your true nature is Shiva.
And Shiva is peace, infinity, beauty and the non-dual One.
Ratri means “to take refuge.” Shivaratri is taking refuge in Shiva.

Divine Valentine!
 Krishna, the Eternal Celebration Abiding in the self you become the Valentine for the whole world. Spirit is the Valentine of matter and matter is the Valentine of the spirit. They are made for each other. They uphold each other. If you hold onto matter and do not respect the spirit, then matter is not pleased. If you honor the spirit then you will care for the world, and when you care for the world, it will take care of you.
I am the Valentine of the whole world and I reside in every heart. If you are my Valentine, you will see me everywhere. Have the same love for everyone, with different flavors. You cannot behave the same way with everyone, but you can love all of them the same. Love transcends behavior and etiquette.
BE LOVED
You don't need to worry to maintain knowledge. When knowledge is lodged in you as wisdom, it will never leave you. Wisdom lodges itself in your heart. Make the Divine your Valentine (your sweet Beloved). This is the last thing to do and the first thing to do.
Keep your heart in a safe place; it is too delicate. Events, small things make strong impressions on it. And you cannot find a better place than the Divine to keep your heart safe and your mind sane. When you keep your heart in the Divine, the moving time, the passing events, will not be able to touch it, will not create a scar. A precious stone needs a setting around it, gold or silver, to hold it and to wear it; so wisdom and knowledge are that setting around the heart which will hold it in the Divine.
See the Divine in your Valentine and make the Divinity your Valentine (your sweet beloved). Just BE… and know that you are LOVED…That is BELOVED.
Wisdom is to consider the earth as your Valentine. Whether it shakes or breaks, it is dear to you. You always see good coming from it.

Happy Diwali!
DIWALI
Time and space are infinite. Grains of sand are countless. Atoms in the universe are innumerable. So also the stars, the galaxies. The same is with the life on this planet. Neither is there a beginning nor is there an end, because it is all spherical. A sphere has neither a beginning nor an end, nor a goal, nor a direction. Truth has no direction, no goal. Truth itself is the goal and truth is infinite.
Feeling or experiencing the infinity within this finite body, living the timelessness within the time span of life, uncovering the bliss within the misery. This is what you are here for. Today is Diwali – the Festival of Lights. The streets and buildings are lit up with colorful lights. The four aspects of Diwali:
1. The lights: Symbolic of spreading the Knowledge.
2. Fire crackers: When the explosion happens outside, the explosion inside is diffused.
3. Gift exchange and distribution of sweets: Sweets dispel the bitterness and renew the friendship.
4. Feeling abundance: Brings awareness and gratefulness for what one has.
When true wisdom dawns, it gives rise to celebration, and in celebration you may lose focus or awareness. The ancient rishis knew this so to maintain awareness in the midst of gaiety of celebration, they brought sacredness and puja to every celebration.
Celebrate the Knowledge and feel the abundance, for “those who have will be given more”!

Krishna Janmashtami
Wish you all a wonderful Sri Krishna Janmashtami!
Do you know what is Krishna?
Krishna is the consciousness, the field of all the wonderful possibilities!
And it is your very nature!
You are made up of the same consciousness.
You know this secret?
Consciousness, God, Life, You – all are synonymous!
This is the truth although it takes a calm mind to realize this simple, yet profound truth.
Here bookish knowledge or something that you have heard will not help.
You have to explore and experience it practically through meditation and an enlightened Masters”s guidance.
See my previous blog “Who are you?” and take the challenge.

Enjoy the following article on Krishna by H H Sri Sri Ravishankar.
BIRTH OF THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION
Krishna means the most attractive . . . It is the divinity that is the most attractive; the energy that pulls everything to it. Krishna is the formless center which is everywhere. Any attraction from anywhere is coming only from Krishna. Often people fail to see the spirit behind the attraction and merely hold on to the outer shell. And the moment you try to possess the shell, you will see Krishna has played a trick and you will be left with an empty shell in your hands and tears in your eyes.
Be clever like Radha — don”t be tricked by Krishna. Krishna could not escape from Radha, for her whole world was filled with Krishna. If you can see that wherever there is an attraction, there is Krishna; then you are Radha, you are in your center.
The mind moves towards beauty, joy and truth. Krishna tells Arjuna, “I am the beauty in the Beautiful, the strength in the Strong, the wisdom in the Wise.” In this way he arrests the mind from moving away from him.
Happy Independence Day!
“We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without
which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.”
– Albert Einstein
Wish you a happy independence day!
I think we should introspect on what we have given back to mother India.
Its high time we all think and act, “How can I make a difference? How can I contribute towards enriching my country?”.
