Be
aware of your Divine essence & Love yourself
first
First
of all love yourself. Be aware about the special capabilities, unique features and
the inherent talent that you possess. As a human being you are embedded with
divine potential touching Para-normal, Super-human and Spiritual realm. This is
because of your Divine essence, Immortal roots and Spiritual destiny. So despite
all human limitations, Cheer!! You are born to do great things, transcend all human
limitations one by one and realize your true spiritual nature. Just ponder
deep, doing your worldly duties focus on the imperishable amid the transient
flow of life.
Your
1st goal of this transient life is – Self-realization. Knowing
yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. All the peace, freedom, bliss and abiding
success that you crave from the depth of your heart is within you.
Searching them in the outer world at the cost of your inner treasure is the folly you have been ever committing far long. Don't fall in this trap anymore. Seek the holy company of the realized Soul
and the true Master. Get in touch with the distilled wisdom of life, follow the
inner dictate and tread the righteous path with all earnest, vigor and strength.
To
march ahead, you have to take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders.
No one is responsible for all the mess you are entangled in at this time. You
have none to blame. Get out of this deception of endless blame game. With
eternal faith on your Spiritual destiny take the charge of your life and march
ahead. Faith, faith and faith on yourself i.e. the secret; then only faith on
God. Be ready to even defy the false Gods that you have created and worshiping at
the cost of your true Self. Remember-This World is the great Gymnasium, where we come to
make ourselves strong. Thus Indulge in this adventure of Self-discovery, Self-realization
and Self-renewal. There is no short cut. Self-discipline is the only way.
4. Strength – Physical, mental, moral & spiritual
4. Strength – Physical, mental, moral & spiritual
Remember-Strength,
Strength and Strength!!! This is the remedy for all the diseases this world is
suffering from. So be strong in every aspect. Be the Worshiper of Shakti.
Remember the Mantra given by the wise forefathers (Rishis) -
Balm upasya. For this you have to
stand on your toes, devote your best moments and dig deep with the muscles
of iron & nerves of steel, gigantic will, which nothing can resist, which
can penetrate into the mysteries of the Universe and will accomplish its
purpose in any fashion, even if it meant going to the bottom of the ocean,
meeting death face to face. This heroic spirit and the iron will are needed on
the path, the road less traveled.
5.
The
power of mind – Concentration
Believe
in the limitless power of your mind, boundless potential of your resolute will
and persistent effort. The key to unlock your dormant potential lies in the power
of concentration. For this, take up one thing at a time. Put your full energy
on the task in hand to the exclusion of all else. Let your whole existence
dance with its vibration for the time being. This is the way to succeed and
make others blessed. For this you have to go deeper. Don’t touch those things
even by feet that weaken you physically, mentally, morally and spiritually.
6.
Character
building – the unshakable foundation
Also
know the power of Character. It is the Character that leaves its indelible mark
on the blank canvas of time, even if only a few words are uttered. It speaks
louder than all the pomp and show, all the jugglery of words and scholarly
intellectual gymnastic. The basis of character building is the purity of intention,
goodwill and self-sacrificing spirit. It gains strength with mind dwelling in higher thoughts
and living constantly with the highest Ideal day and night. It is not a momentary
affair; Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles. It is a lifelong
process, slow and at times painful. But its fruits are worth all the pain and sacrifices
on the way. Its rewards are the sweetest ones in the end. Once formed, it is
the Character that can cleave through the adamant walls of difficulties and
triumph amidst all the worldly odds and oppositions.
7. Ideal of Selfless Service – Shiv bhave jeev seva
7. Ideal of Selfless Service – Shiv bhave jeev seva
Serving
the needy, helping the weak and deprived, becoming the voice of the voiceless
is the natural outcome of this process. Helping others without any
expectations, without any hope is the natural flow of a sensible heart. Remember-each
act of noble thinking and selfless service breaks one chain of bondage and purifies the Chitta.
Thus serving man as God–Shiv
bhave Jeev seva becomes the guiding motto on the way. This is the ultimate secret
to come out of the limiting spell of ego and little self. For this one has to
grow from inside out. None can make you spiritual. Master only points at the Ultimate,
you have to strive hard and ascend the peaks of your own.
8.
Be
Fearless, face the terrible boldly
The
path is not that easy as worked out on the papers and mind. The path of
Self-renewal, Self-realization is the roughest and the toughest on the ground.
No wonder so many fails on the way, so many compromising under the bewitching
spell of transient pleasures and worldly pressures. No wonder a few crosses the
shore and sip the nectar of eternal bliss.
So
be the humble worshiper of Truth, the warrior of Light with the fire of Spiritual
conviction. Let the terrible, the darkness come on the way, this is the nature
of the path. Stand up & fight! Not
one step back, that is the idea, fight it out, whatever come. Face the
terrible, face it boldly. Live the Truth even if your legs shake. With each resolute
step and persistent effort, your Spirit will grow stronger; your voice will gain
strength and one day become omnipotent and invincible.
9.
Arise,
awake & stop not till the goal is reached
Thus
cheer O vibrant Soul, the aspirant of the Highest, the seeker of the Truth,
striving Excellence and Perfection in this very life; seeking this world to be
a better place to live with. The vanity, the follies of this life are many, but
be a person of clear vision. Seek the company of the wise, the illumined, the noble.
The magnet of your aspiration and sincerity will one day definitely attract the
Master’s grace and get its transforming touch. This is the
royal path of Being and Making. Ideal of serving the Nation, society and
humanity etc. are the subsequent results of this Self-transformation. You just
stick to your heart felt conviction and rest assured. The world will get better in the degrees you get transformed.
Remember, you
are not born to die as a worldly worm; you are born to do great things. Leaving
this life without realizing your spiritual destiny and true potential would be a tragic
misfortune. So, Arise and awake to the lofty Ideal, echoing in the sky since eternity & keep moving until the goal is reached.
