💐आज ही जीए जिंदगी.💐

एक फ़कीर नदी के किनारे बैठा था किसी ने पूछा  

'बाबा क्या कर रहे हो?' फ़कीर ने कहा :

'इंतज़ार कर रहा हूँ की पूरी नदी बह जाएं

तो फिर पार करूँ' उस व्यक्ति ने कहा :

'कैसी बात करते हो बाबा पूरा जल बहने 

के इंतज़ार मे तो तुम कभी नदी पार ही नही

कर पाओगे' फ़कीर ने कहा "यही तो मै तुम

लोगो को समझाना चाहता हूँ की तुम लोग

जो सदा यह कहते रहते हो की एक बार जीवन 

की ज़िम्मेदारियाँ पूरी हो जाये तो

मौज करूँ, घूमूँ फिरू, सबसे मिलूँ, सेवा

करूँ... जैसे नदी का जल खत्म नही होगा

हमको इस जल से ही पार जाने का रास्ता

बनाना है इस प्रकार जीवन खत्म हो जायेगा 

पर जीवन के काम खत्म नही होंगे."

*बहुत प्यारा सन्देश*

कभी आपको बस की सबसे पीछे वाली सीट पर बैठने का मौका लगा है l यदि नही ; तो कभी गौर करना  l और हाँ ; तो आपने महसूस किया होगा कि  पीछे की सीट पर धक्के ज्यादा महसूस होते है l चालक तो सबके लिए एक ही है l बस की गति भी समान है l फिर ऐसा क्यों ? साहब जिस बस में आप सफर कर रहे है उसके चालक से आपकी दूरी जितनी ज्यादा होगी - आपकी यात्रा में धक्के भी उतने ही ज्यादा होंगे l

 आपकी जीवन यात्रा के सफर में भी जीवन की गाड़ी के चालक *परमात्मा* से आपकी दूरी जितनी ज्यादा होगी आपको ज़िन्दगी में *धक्के* उतने ही ज्यादा खाने पड़ेंगे l अपनी रोज़ की दिनचर्या में यथासंभव कुछ समय अपने *आराध्य* के समीप बैठो और उनसे अपने मन की बात एकदम साफ शब्दों में कहो l आप स्वयं एक अप्रत्याशित चमत्कार महसूस करेंगे।

कोशिश करके देखिए

🔊 आओ कहानी सुने 📢

।।।   सत्संग का असर क्यों नहीं होता   ।।।

सत्संग के वचन को केवल कानों से नही, मन की गहराई से सुनना, एक-एक वचन को ह्रदय में उतारना और उस पर आचरण करना ही सत्संग के वचनो का सम्मान है ।

एक शिष्य अपने गुरु जी के पास आकर बोला:-

"गुरु जी हमेशा लोग प्रश्न करते है कि सत्संग का असर क्यों नहीं होता ?

मेरे मन में भी यह प्रश्न चक्कर लगा रहा है ।"

गुरु जी समयज्ञ थे बोले:- "वत्स जाओ, एक घडा मदिरा ले आओ ।"

शिष्य मदिरा का नाम सुनते ही आवाक् रह गया ।

"गुरू जी और शराब" वह सोचता ही रह गया ।

गुरू जी ने कहा:- "सोचते क्या हो, जाओ एक घडा मदिरा ले आओ ।"

वह गया और एक छला-छल भरा मदिरा का घडा ले आया ।

गुरु जी के समक्ष रख बोला:- “आज्ञा का पालन कर लिया ।"

गुरु जी बोले :- “ यह सारी मदिरा पी लो ”

शिष्य अचंभित, गुरु जी ने कहा:- "शिष्य, एक बात का ध्यान रखना, पीना पर शीघ्र कुल्ला थूक देना, गले के नीचे मत उतारना ।"

शिष्य ने वही किया, शराब मुंह में भरकर तत्काल थूक देता, देखते-देखते घडा खाली हो गया ।

फिर आकर गुरु जी से कहा:- “गुरुदेव घडा खाली हो गया ।"

गुरु जी ने पूछा:- "तुझे नशा आया या नहीं ?”

शिष्य बोला:- "गुरुदेव, नशा तो बिल्कुल नहीं आया ।"

गुरु जी बोले:- "अरे मदिरा का पूरा घडा खाली कर गये और नशा नहीं चढा ?"

शिष्य ने कहा:- “गुरुदेव नशा तो तब आता जब मदिरा गले से नीचे उतरती, गले के नीचे तो एक बूंद भी नहीं गई फ़िर नशा कैसे चढता ?

अब गुरु जी ने समझाया:- ”बस फिर सत्संग को भी उपर उपर से जान लेते हो, सुन लेते हों गले के नीचे तो उतरता ही नहीं, व्यवहार में आता नहीं तो प्रभाव कैसे पडे ।"

सत्संग के वचन को केवल कानों से नही, मन की गहराई से सुनना, एक-एक वचन को ह्रदय में उतारना और उस पर आचरण करना ही सत्संग के वचनो का सम्मान है ।

पांच पहर धंधा किया, तीन पहर गए सोए ।

एक घड़ी ना सत्संग किया, तो मुक्ति कहाँ से होए ॥

Krishna on Karma~A short story

When Lord Krishna returned home after the battle of Mahabharata,Rukmani confronted him“How could you be party to the killing of Guru Drona and Bheeshma, who were such righteous humans and had a lifetime of righteousness behind them.”Initially Lord Krishna avoided her questions but when she did not relent, he replied “No doubt they had a lifetime of rightousness behind them but they both had committed one single sin that destroyed all their lifetime of righteousness”
Rukmani asked “And pray tell,what was that sin?”Lord Krishna replied“They were both present in the court when a lady (Draupadi) was being disrobed and being elders they had the authority to stop it but they did not.This single crime is enough to destroy all righteousness of this world”Rukmani asked “But what about Karna,what was his fault?He was known for his charity.No one went emptyhanded from his doorstep. Why did you have him killed?” 

Lord Krishna said “No doubt Karna was known for his charity.He never said ‘No’ to anyone who asked him for anything.But when Abhimanyu fell after successfully fighting an army of the greatest warriors and lay dying, he asked for water from Karna who stood nearby.There was a puddle of clean water where Karna stood but not wanting to annoy his friend Duryodhan, Karna did not give water to a dying man.In doing so his charity of a lifetime was destroyed.Later in battle,it was the same puddle of water in which the wheel of his chariot got stuck and he was killed.” Understand that your one act of injustice can destroy your whole life of honesty. This story is great example of Karma Theory in relation to a Path towards Prosperity. So,with Awareness,only create your life's Karma account with complete honest righteousness.

Drop the delusion that you have become old or diseased,or that you have become weak and debilitated. Some people begin to count the years and grieve over advancing age and shudder like cowards afraid of death.But remember, elation is heaven, despondency is hell. Have always some work to do, and do it well that you will get joy.

If things go ill or well

If things go ill or well
If joy rebounding spreads the face,
Or sea of sorrow swells
A play  we each have part,
Each one to weep or laugh as may;
Each one his dress to don
Its scenes, alternative shine and rain.
Thou dream, O blessed dream!
Spread far and near thy veil of haze,
Tone down the lines so sharp,
Make smooth what roughness seems.
No magic but in thee!
Thy touch make desert bloom to life.
Harsh thunder, sweetest song,
Fell death, the sweet release.

Mahavatar Babaji Smriti Divas

Today on 25 th of July is Mahavatar Babaji Smriti Divas.I Deepika Bow 🙏at your feet of omniscient eternity moi Babaji moi Gurudeva !As the initiator of several masters of Yoga, Babaji has infused his realization and cosmic knowledge into many of the great spiritual traditions.He is also known to conduct personally special ceremonies involving mantras into the earth sphere for the purpose of quickening planetary evolution.If you say his name right now with love you will feel a blessing in your heart!Om Kriya Babaji Namah Om 🙏

“Lahiri,you have come!”

“Lahiri, you have come!”
Told by Lahiri Mahasaya in Autobiography of a Yogi.
“My first meeting with Babaji took place in my thirty-third year,” Lahiri Mahasaya had said. “In the autumn of 1861 I was stationed in Danapur as a government accountant in the Military Engineering Department. One morning the office manager summoned me.‘Lahiri,’ he said, ‘a telegram has just come from our main office. You are to be transferred to Ranikhet, where an army post is now being established.’
“With one servant, I set out on the 500-mile trip. Traveling by horse and buggy, we arrived in thirty days at the Himalayan site of Ranikhet.“My office duties were not onerous; I was able to spend many hours roaming in the magnificent hills. A rumor reached me that great saints blessed the region with their presence; I felt a strong desire to see them. During a ramble one early afternoon,I was astounded to hear a distant voice calling my name.I continued my vigorous upward climb on Drongiri Mountain.A slight uneasiness beset me at the thought that I might not be able to retrace my steps before darkness had descended over the jungle.“I finally reached a small clearing whose sides were dotted with caves.On one of the rocky ledges stood a smiling young man, extending his hand in welcome.I noticed with astonishment that, except for his copper-colored hair, he bore a remarkable resemblance to myself.‘Lahiri,you have come!’ The saint addressed me affectionately in Hindi.‘Rest here in this cave.It was I who called you.“I entered a neat little grotto which contained several woolen blankets and afew kamandulus(begging bowls).‘Lahiri, do you remember that seat?’The yogi pointed to a folded blanket in one corner.
“No, sir.’Somewhat dazed at the strangeness of my adventure,I added,‘I must leave now, before nightfall.I have business in the morning at my office."The mysterious saint replied in English, ‘The office was brought for you,and not you for the office “I was dumbfounded that this forest ascetic should not only speak English but also paraphrase the words of Christ.‘I see my telegram took effect.’The yogi’s remark was incomprehensible to me,I inquired his meaning.‘I refer to the telegram that summoned you to these isolated parts. It was I who silently suggested to the mind of your superior officer that you be transferred to Ranikhet.When one feels his unity with mankind, all minds become transmitting stations through which he can work at will.’He added gently, ‘Lahiri, surely this cave seems familiar to you?’As I maintained a bewildered silence, the saint approached and struck me gently on the forehead. At his magnetic touch, a wondrous current swept through my brain,releasing the sweet seed memories of my previous life.‘I remember!’ My voice was half-choked with joyous sobs. ‘You are my guru Babaji, who has belonged to me always! Scenes of the past arise vividly in my mind,here in this cave I spent many years of my last incarnation!’As ineffable recollections overwhelmed me, I tearfully embraced my master’s feet. ‘For more than three decades I have waited for you here—waited for you to return to me!’ Babaji’s voice rang with celestial love. ‘You slipped away and vanished into the tumultuous waves of the life beyond death.The magic wand of your karma touched you, and you were gone! Though you lost sight of me, never did I lose sight of you! I pursued you over the luminescent astral sea where the glorious angels sail. Through gloom, storm,upheaval and light I followed you, like a mother bird guarding her young. As you lived out your human term of womb-life,and emerged a babe,my eye was ever on you. When you covered your tiny form in the lotus posture under the Nadia sands in your childhood,I was invisibly present! Patiently, month after month,year after year,I have watched over you, waiting for this perfect day.Now you are with me! Lo, here is your cave, loved of yore! I have kept it ever clean and ready for you.Here is your hallowed asana-blanket,where you daily sat to fill your expanding heart with God! Behold there your bowl, from which you often drank the nectar prepared by me! See how I have kept the brass cup brightly polished, that you might drink again therefrom! My own, do you now understand?’‘My guru, what can I say?’I murmured brokenly.‘Where has one ever heard of such deathless love?’I gazed long and ecstatically on my eternal treasure, my guru in life and death.

Why, After Death, the Ordinary Man Forgets His Former Life

Unnatural death, and death in a state of bodily attachment, are not only painful, they also obscure memory. Of course, unless one is spiritually advanced, it is not always desirable to remember one's former life. The after-death oblivion of one's previous identity allows him to forget his past consciousness of failure, pain, and attachments, and to begin life anew. The only disadvantage is that if he has not learned from past wrong actions, he may repeat those experiences, ignoring the warning of their consequences-just as the inveterate alcoholic continues to drink the infernal liquid, even with the conscious knowledge of probable death from liver damage.

Though the pure consciousness of the soul maintains a continuity of remembrance from one life to another, the body identified consciousness does not. The fact is, memory after death cannot survive under the following conditions;
(a) if there is attachment to the body;
(b) if there is attachment for past possessions, family, or friends;
(c) if there is a strong entanglement in bad karma, and if one has not risen above the effects of both good and bad actions.

If, as in (a) and (b), the newborn soul remembered and was attached to its previous body, possessions, family, or friends, imagine the agony and frustration the soul would feel in a new incarnation! It would not like to begin a different life amidst a new environment, a new family, and new friends. The soul is a brother to all-to all mankind. Imagine how narrow it would become if it loved only one small circle of human beings. It would not expand, and it wouldn't let those other souls expand, to reach the ultimate goal of unity. We must realize this oneness of our soul with all souls in the unity of the one Spirit, and it is impossible to do so unless the soul expands its sphere of family and friends to include all.

In the case of (c) above, the soul would be extremely discouraged, remembering past bad karma, struggles, and suffering, and wouldn't have the will to make new effort to progress. It would forget its transcendent nature. At the conclusion of each lifetime, death washes away all dark impressions, memories of failures and sins, and prejudiced conceptions, so that the soul can begin afresh to express itself in newer ways and make newer efforts to rise above and free itself from matter.

Sadhguru On the subject of disability~ Quotes

On the subject of disability, Sadhguru reminds us that life comes in many forms, and society need not brand anyone as standard or substandard.
Life has come in so many forms, but societies have labels as to what is normal and what is not normal. But actually, if we look at any individual who has all four limbs intact, compared to the next person, are they not disabled in someaspect of life? 
Most people who are labeled as normal are breaking their brains every day. They call it stress, anxiety and so many things, but they are literally breaking the brain in some way.

So let us not brand ourselves or anyone else one way or the other, because life has come in so many ways. You have to respect that and do your best about it because it is a miracle, in the sense – today morning, the dosa or idli that you had was made with the soil that we walk upon, and that food became flesh and bone. In such a phenomenally complex process, which we have taken for granted unfortunately, certain things sometimes do not work the way we think they should. 

So never call yourself disabled. You are one way, I am another way. No person can claim he has a perfect body or a perfect mind. I am disabled in one way, you are disabled in another way. In some way, every one of us is disabled if we compare ourselves to someone else. 

Your bones break, that is painful and unfortunate. But most people who are labeled as normal are breaking their brains every day. They call it stress, anxiety and so many things, but they are literally breaking the brain in some way. 

No person can claim he has a perfect body or a perfect mind. In some way, every one of us is disabled if we compare ourselves to someone else.

The physical form is a mechanical process. Sometimes things will go wrong with it. It may come normally and later go wrong, or in the very womb, something can go wrong during manufacturing. This has nothing to do with that person. It has something to do with a variety of things because it is such a complex process that something can go off sometimes. 

But that should not determine how you live. How we live physically may be determined by many things. But nobody can decide how we live within ourselves except us. Nobody else can decide how I live within myself. In that sense, no one is disabled.

~Sadguru gurudeva ~ on Nandi deva

"Sadguru gurudeva on Nandi deva"

He is in waiting. The Nandi is a symbolism of eternal waiting, because waiting is considered the greatest virtue in this culture. One who knows how to simply sit and wait is naturally meditative. He is not expecting Shiva to come out tomorrow; he will wait forever. That quality is the essence of receptivity. The Nandi is Shiva’s closest accomplice because he is the essence of receptivity. Before you go into the temple, you must have the quality of the Nandi, to simply sit. You are not trying to go to heaven, you are not trying to get this or that – you go inside and simply sit. So, just by sitting here, he is telling you, “When you go into the temple, don’t do your fanciful things. Don’t ask for this or that. Just go and sit like me.”
The quality of the Nandi is that he just sits,alert.This is very important: he is alert. He is not sleepy, he is not sitting in a passive way; he is sitting, very active, no expectation, no anticipation, no looking forward to anything; full of alertness, full of life, but just sitting and that is meditation. Just waiting. Not for anything in particular. If you just wait without doing your own thing, then the existence will do its thing. Meditation essentially means the individual person is not doing his own thing; he is just there. So, once you are simply there, you become aware of the larger dimension of the existence, which is always in action. You become aware that you are a part of it.Even now, you are a part of it. But becoming aware that “I’m a part of it” is meditativeness. So, the Nandi is the symbolism of that. He just sits. Sitting here, he reminds everybody, “You must sit like me.”

हनुमान चालीसा में छिपे जिंदगी के सूत्र

कई लोगों की दिनचर्या हनुमान चालीसा पढ़ने से शुरू होती है। पर क्या आप जानते हैं कि श्री *हनुमान चालीसा* में 40 चौपाइयां हैं, ये उस क्रम में लिखी गई हैं जो एक आम आदमी की जिंदगी का क्रम होता है।

माना जाता है तुलसीदास ने चालीसा की रचना बचपन में की थी।

हनुमान को गुरु बनाकर उन्होंने राम को पाने की शुरुआत की।

अगर आप सिर्फ हनुमान चालीसा पढ़ रहे हैं तो यह आपको भीतरी शक्ति तो दे रही है लेकिन अगर आप इसके अर्थ में छिपे जिंदगी के सूत्र समझ लें तो आपको जीवन के हर क्षेत्र में सफलता दिला सकते हैं।

हनुमान चालीसा सनातन परंपरा में लिखी गई पहली चालीसा है शेष सभी चालीसाएं इसके बाद ही लिखी गई।

हनुमान चालीसा की शुरुआत से अंत तक सफलता के कई सूत्र हैं। आइए जानते हैं हनुमान चालीसा से आप अपने जीवन में क्या-क्या बदलाव ला सकते हैं….

*शुरुआत गुरु से…*

हनुमान चालीसा की शुरुआत *गुरु* से हुई है…

श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज,
निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि।

*अर्थ* - अपने गुरु के चरणों की धूल से अपने मन के दर्पण को साफ करता हूं।

गुरु का महत्व चालीसा की पहले दोहे की पहली लाइन में लिखा गया है। जीवन में गुरु नहीं है तो आपको कोई आगे नहीं बढ़ा सकता। गुरु ही आपको सही रास्ता दिखा सकते हैं।

इसलिए तुलसीदास ने लिखा है कि गुरु के चरणों की धूल से मन के दर्पण को साफ करता हूं। आज के दौर में गुरु हमारा मेंटोर भी हो सकता है, बॉस भी। माता-पिता को पहला गुरु ही कहा गया है।

समझने वाली बात ये है कि गुरु यानी अपने से बड़ों का सम्मान करना जरूरी है। अगर तरक्की की राह पर आगे बढ़ना है तो विनम्रता के साथ बड़ों का सम्मान करें।

*ड्रेसअप का रखें ख्याल…*

चालीसा की चौपाई है

कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा,
कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा।

*अर्थ* - आपके शरीर का रंग सोने की तरह चमकीला है, सुवेष यानी अच्छे वस्त्र पहने हैं, कानों में कुंडल हैं और बाल संवरे हुए हैं।

आज के दौर में आपकी तरक्की इस बात पर भी निर्भर करती है कि आप रहते और दिखते कैसे हैं। फर्स्ट इंप्रेशन अच्छा होना चाहिए।

अगर आप बहुत गुणवान भी हैं लेकिन अच्छे से नहीं रहते हैं तो ये बात आपके करियर को प्रभावित कर सकती है। इसलिए, रहन-सहन और ड्रेसअप हमेशा अच्छा रखें।

आगे पढ़ें - हनुमान चालीसा में छिपे मैनेजमेंट के सूत्र...

*सिर्फ डिग्री काम नहीं आती*

बिद्यावान गुनी अति चातुर,
राम काज करिबे को आतुर।

*अर्थ* - आप विद्यावान हैं, गुणों की खान हैं, चतुर भी हैं। राम के काम करने के लिए सदैव आतुर रहते हैं।

आज के दौर में एक अच्छी डिग्री होना बहुत जरूरी है। लेकिन चालीसा कहती है सिर्फ डिग्री होने से आप सफल नहीं होंगे। विद्या हासिल करने के साथ आपको अपने गुणों को भी बढ़ाना पड़ेगा, बुद्धि में चतुराई भी लानी होगी। हनुमान में तीनों गुण हैं, वे सूर्य के शिष्य हैं, गुणी भी हैं और चतुर भी।

*अच्छा लिसनर बनें*

प्रभु चरित सुनिबे को रसिया,
राम लखन सीता मन बसिया।

*अर्थ* -आप राम चरित यानी राम की कथा सुनने में रसिक है, राम, लक्ष्मण और सीता तीनों ही आपके मन में वास करते हैं।
जो आपकी प्रायोरिटी है, जो आपका काम है, उसे लेकर सिर्फ बोलने में नहीं, सुनने में भी आपको रस आना चाहिए।

अच्छा श्रोता होना बहुत जरूरी है। अगर आपके पास सुनने की कला नहीं है तो आप कभी अच्छे लीडर नहीं बन सकते।

*कहां, कैसे व्यवहार करना है ये ज्ञान जरूरी है*

सूक्ष्म रुप धरि सियहिं दिखावा, बिकट रुप धरि लंक जरावा।

*अर्थ* - आपने अशोक वाटिका में सीता को अपने छोटे रुप में दर्शन दिए। और लंका जलाते समय आपने बड़ा स्वरुप धारण किया।

कब, कहां, किस परिस्थिति में खुद का व्यवहार कैसा रखना है, ये कला हनुमानजी से सीखी जा सकती है।

सीता से जब अशोक वाटिका में मिले तो उनके सामने छोटे वानर के आकार में मिले, वहीं जब लंका जलाई तो पर्वताकार रुप धर लिया।

अक्सर लोग ये ही तय नहीं कर पाते हैं कि उन्हें कब किसके सामने कैसा दिखना है।

*अच्छे सलाहकार बनें*

तुम्हरो मंत्र बिभीसन माना, लंकेस्वर भए सब जग जाना।

*अर्थ* - विभीषण ने आपकी सलाह मानी, वे लंका के राजा बने ये सारी दुनिया जानती है।

हनुमान सीता की खोज में लंका गए तो वहां विभीषण से मिले। विभीषण को राम भक्त के रुप में देख कर उन्हें राम से मिलने की सलाह दे दी।

विभीषण ने भी उस सलाह को माना और रावण के मरने के बाद वे राम द्वारा लंका के राजा बनाए गए। किसको, कहां, क्या सलाह देनी चाहिए, इसकी समझ बहुत आवश्यक है। सही समय पर सही इंसान को दी गई सलाह सिर्फ उसका ही फायदा नहीं करती, आपको भी कहीं ना कहीं फायदा पहुंचाती है।

*आत्मविश्वास की कमी ना हो*

प्रभु मुद्रिका मेलि मुख माही, जलधि लांघि गए अचरज नाहीं।

*अर्थ* - राम नाम की अंगुठी अपने मुख में रखकर आपने समुद्र को लांघ लिया, इसमें कोई अचरज नहीं है।

अगर आपमें खुद पर और अपने परमात्मा पर पूरा भरोसा है तो आप कोई भी मुश्किल से मुश्किल टॉस्क को आसानी से पूरा कर सकते हैं।

आज के युवाओं में एक कमी ये भी है कि उनका भरोसा बहुत टूट जाता है। आत्मविश्वास की कमी भी बहुत है। प्रतिस्पर्धा के दौर में आत्मविश्वास की कमी होना खतरनाक है। अपनेआप पर पूरा भरोसा रखे, और अपने लक्ष्य को पूरा करे।

*GOD IS WATCHING YOU*

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
One way to be vigilant in all that we think and say and do, is to be aware that God is omnipresent and omniscient, and is aware of all that we do.
I am reminded of a little boy who was visiting his grandmother.
There was a large picture of Sri Vishnu on the wall of her living room.
Underneath the picture was caption: God is Watching You!
The little boy became strangely quite and subdued on seeing the picture.
Noticing his mood, his grandmother asked him what the matter was.
"I suppose I must be good and behave myself here," replied the little boy.
~"If God is watching me, He is sure to punish me if I'm naughty."~
"Not at all!" Laughed grandmother.
*"God is watching you all the time because He loves you so much that He can't take His eyes off you!"*

जिस दिन हम ये समझ जायेंगे कि,सामने वाला गलत नहीं है सिर्फ उसकी सोच हमसे अलग है,उस दिन जीवन से दुःख समाप्त हो जायेंगे । "बड़प्पन" वह गुण है जो पद या उम्र से नहीं, "संस्कारों" से प्राप्त होता है।

हम जिसे सफलता समझ बैठे है, वह सफलता है नहीं, बस दिखाई पड़ती , हर चीज़ जो दिखाई पड़ती है, सत्य से बहुत परे होती है। हम उसे सफल आदमी समझ लेते है, जो आर्थिक रूप से सम्पन्न है, या जो बहुत पढ़ा लिखा है, या जो ऊँचे पदों पर आसीन है, जिसके चारों ओर लोगों की भीड़ है। सफलता का ये पैमाना ग़लत है, ऐसे आदमी के पास स्वयं के जीने के लिए एक भी क्षण नहीं होता, वह कभी अपना जीवन नहीं जी पाता, उसकी सारी चेतना दूसरों को दिखाने गुज़र जाती है, वह वास्तविकता से बहुत दूर होता है, उसे स्वयं का अपनी नज़रों में कोई सम्मान नहीं होता, उसका पूरा जीवन प्रेम शून्य होता है। सफल वह है ,जिसके जीवन में प्रेम है, करूणा है, जो स्वयं का सम्मान करता है, जिसे दूसरों के सम्मान की तनिक भी आकांक्षा नहीं है। ऐसा व्यक्ति कहीं भी हो, चाहे ऊँचे पदों पर या नीचे पदों पर, चाहे आर्थिक रूप से अति सम्पन्न हो या न हो, चाहे वो उच्च शिक्षित हो या सामान्य , बस यही व्यक्ति सफल है।

जानिए रामायण का एक सत्य...

केवल लक्ष्मण ही मेघनाद का वध कर सकते थे..क्या कारण था ?..पढिये पुरी कथा
                        ॐ
     हनुमानजी की रामभक्ति की गाथा संसार में भर में गाई जाती है। लक्ष्मणजी की भक्ति भी अद्भुत थी। लक्ष्मणजी की कथा के बिना श्री रामकथा पूर्ण नहीं है अगस्त्य मुनि अयोध्या आए और लंका युद्ध का प्रसंग छिड़ गया ।

    भगवान श्रीराम ने बताया कि उन्होंने कैसे रावण और कुंभकर्ण जैसे प्रचंड वीरों का वध किया और लक्ष्मण ने भी इंद्रजीत और अतिकाय जैसे शक्तिशाली असुरों को मारा॥

     अगस्त्य मुनि बोले- श्रीराम बेशक रावण और कुंभकर्ण प्रचंड वीर थे, लेकिन सबसे बड़ा वीर तो मेघनाध ही था ॥ उसने अंतरिक्ष में स्थित होकर इंद्र से युद्ध किया था और बांधकर लंका ले आया था॥
    ब्रह्मा ने इंद्रजीत से दान के रूप में इंद्र को मांगा तब इंद्र मुक्त हुए थे ॥ लक्ष्मण ने उसका वध किया इसलिए वे सबसे बड़े योद्धा हुए ॥

    श्रीराम को आश्चर्य हुआ लेकिन भाई की वीरता की प्रशंसा से वह खुश थे॥ फिर भी उनके मन में जिज्ञासा पैदा हुई कि आखिर अगस्त्य मुनि ऐसा क्यों कह रहे हैं कि इंद्रजीत का वध रावण से ज्यादा मुश्किल था ॥

     अगस्त्य मुनि ने कहा- प्रभु इंद्रजीत को वरदान था कि उसका वध वही कर सकता था जो.....

  (१) चौदह वर्षों तक न सोया हो,

   (२) जिसने चौदह साल तक किसी स्त्री का मुख न देखा हो और

   (३) चौदह साल तक भोजन न किया हो ॥

       श्रीराम बोले- परंतु मैं बनवास काल में चौदह वर्षों तक नियमित रूप से लक्ष्मण के हिस्से का फल-फूल देता रहा॥
    मैं सीता के साथ एक कुटी में रहता था, बगल की कुटी में लक्ष्मण थे, फिर सीता का मुख भी न देखा हो, और चौदह वर्षों तक सोए न हों, ऐसा कैसे संभव है ॥

     अगस्त्य मुनि सारी बात समझकर मुस्कुराए॥ प्रभु से कुछ छुपा है भला! दरअसल, सभी लोग सिर्फ श्रीराम का गुणगान करते थे लेकिन प्रभु चाहते थे कि लक्ष्मण के तप और वीरता की चर्चा भी अयोध्या के घर-घर में हो ॥

   अगस्त्य मुनि ने कहा – क्यों न लक्ष्मणजी से पूछा जाए ॥

    लक्ष्मणजी आए प्रभु ने कहा कि आपसे जो पूछा जाए उसे सच-सच कहिएगा॥

     प्रभु ने पूछा- हम तीनों चौदह वर्षों तक साथ रहे फिर तुमने सीता का मुख कैसे नहीं देखा ?, फल दिए गए फिर भी अनाहारी कैसे रहे ?, और १४ साल तक सोए नहीं ? यह कैसे हुआ ?

    लक्ष्मणजी ने बताया- भैया जब हम भाभी को तलाशते ऋष्यमूक पर्वत गए तो सुग्रीव ने हमें उनके आभूषण दिखाकर पहचानने को कहा ॥  
 
    आपको स्मरण होगा मैं तो सिवाए उनके पैरों के नुपूर के कोई आभूषण नहीं पहचान पाया था क्योंकि मैंने कभी भी उनके चरणों के ऊपर देखा ही नहीं.

    चौदह वर्ष नहीं सोने के बारे में सुनिए – आप औऱ माता एक कुटिया में सोते थे. मैं रातभर बाहर धनुष पर बाण चढ़ाए पहरेदारी में खड़ा रहता था. निद्रा ने मेरी आंखों पर कब्जा करने की कोशिश की तो मैंने निद्रा को अपने बाणों से बेध दिया था॥

      निद्रा ने हारकर स्वीकार किया कि वह चौदह साल तक मुझे स्पर्श नहीं करेगी लेकिन जब श्रीराम का अयोध्या में राज्याभिषेक हो रहा होगा और मैं उनके पीछे सेवक की तरह छत्र लिए खड़ा रहूंगा तब वह मुझे घेरेगी ॥

     आपको याद होगा राज्याभिषेक के समय मेरे हाथ से छत्र गिर गया था।

    अब मैं १४ साल तक अनाहारी कैसे रहा! मैं जो फल-फूल लाता था आप उसके तीन भाग करते थे. एक भाग देकर आप मुझसे कहते थे लक्ष्मण फल रख लो॥
     आपने कभी फल खाने को नहीं कहा- फिर बिना आपकी आज्ञा के मैं उसे खाता कैसे?

      मैंने उन्हें संभाल कर रख दिया॥ सभी फल उसी कुटिया में अभी भी रखे होंगे ॥ प्रभु के आदेश पर लक्ष्मणजी चित्रकूट की कुटिया में से वे सारे फलों की टोकरी लेकर आए और दरबार में रख दिया॥ फलों की गिनती हुई, सात दिन के हिस्से के फल नहीं थे॥

    प्रभु ने कहा- इसका अर्थ है कि तुमने सात दिन तो आहार लिया था?

     लक्ष्मणजी ने सात फल कम होने के बारे बताया- उन सात दिनों में फल आए ही नहीं :—

१--जिस दिन हमें पिताश्री के स्वर्गवासी होने की सूचना मिली, हम निराहारी रहे॥

२--जिस दिन रावण ने माता का हरण किया उस दिन फल लाने कौन जाता॥

३--जिस दिन समुद्र की साधना कर आप उससे राह मांग रहे थे, ।

४--जिस दिन आप इंद्रजीत के नागपाश में बंधकर दिनभर अचेत रहे,।

५--जिस दिन इंद्रजीत ने मायावी सीता को काटा था और हम शोक मेंरहे,।

६--जिस दिन रावण ने मुझे शक्ति मारी,

७--और जिस दिन आपने रावण-वध किया ॥

  इन दिनों में हमें भोजन की सुध कहां थी॥ विश्वामित्र मुनि से मैंने एक अतिरिक्त विद्या का ज्ञान लिया था- बिना आहार किए जीने की विद्या. उसके प्रयोग से मैं चौदह साल तक अपनी भूख को नियंत्रित कर सका जिससे इंद्रजीत मारा गया ॥

    भगवान श्रीराम ने लक्ष्मणजी की तपस्या के बारे में सुनकर उन्हें ह्रदय से लगा लिया ।

         जय सियाराम जय जय राम       
     जय  शेषावतार लक्ष्मण भैया की
     जय संकट मोचन वीर हनुमान की

जय श्री राम ⛳⛳वंदेमातरम् ⛳⛳

Fathers day without you︵‿✿‿︵

From now on Every Father’s Day is going to be a painful reminder of your absence in my life.Dad,I wish I could just turn back time and live out every single day of my childhood with you as if it were a grand Father’s Day.Dad, your memories have become my heartbeats,which means I am thinking of you all the time just to stay alive. I miss you.I never knew that being fatherless would make me feel so aimless, worthless, helpless, powerless and heartless. Just one last chance,and I wish I could get to hug you.Then I would hold you tight and never let go. How do you expect me to cope up with the grief your death, when you were the only person who understood me for what I was and not for what I could be?A free~spirited person like you can never be proclaimed dead. You may not be around in person but your spirit will live on forever in our hearts. I miss you dad.I miss you dad. Friends It doesn’t matter whether it has been weeks,months or years,the pain of losing a father(parent)will keep pinching you for a lifetime.You will be able to relate to this fact if you have lost a dad. Death is life’s bitterest truth and there is no point in being in denial.Its ok to cry your heart out and give your soul a release.This is the only way you can truly mourn, move on and accept reality that he has passed away. Think of the beautiful childhood memories,think of how much he loved you, think about his warm hugs, think of how he cared for you and most importantly,think of how even today,he is watching down on you like the angel that he has always been.....popsie moi soulmate...i miss you so so much.. .
And ever since you went away papa,i am broken to the core of moi soul,there is a pain in the heart,that can become unbearable.I noticed that the longing from which i am suffering so much,becomes more and more difficult to bear.Something in moi is full of sorrow,so deep that i cannot reach it, can't analyze it,the claws of pain are tearing moi heart apart.Something in moi is crying desperately,can't get an idea why all is bleak,and there seems no hope at all,anywhere. There are times i think death would be better,i can't offer a rational explanation for this mood.but i would give anything to just die,I don't even know what causes it.Its just confusion,despair,sheer despair,quite simply,thats all i know,an endless longing ,a terrible tremendous desire,but for what ? For that which is so evasive,so far away,a non ending torment.Lately when i begin to cry,i just cannot stop, such a helpless feeling of despair comes over moi,moi heart wounded by so much longing,i simply cant bear it.Moi nervous system is shaken,So much sorrow is in moi soul that there is no speech left to express it,have no desire to speak.I am sort of empty. Everything seems to be dead.No desires are left,only one,only this terrible,deadly longing,but there seems to be no hope.It is a sort of peace made of darkness,and the most amazing thing is that something in moi doesn't mind this sorrow.More and more of it as if i were interested to see how far it can go.Where is the very depth,the end, the bottom of it?For reasons which are beyond moi understanding,i want more and more of this sorrow.I don't sink from sorrow why? It seems as if the whole of moi desire would be to dissolve,to be submerged by it, all seems to be still inside moi as if something has died deep in moi. Do not want to ask any questions, do not want to speak,people around moi their converstions torment moi core of the soul,even the mind seems completely still. Vinny~Papa your Dipssy,cant comprehend life any more without you,moi dad,moi best friend,moi soulmate moi guru...moi mentor... Show moi the path....i am terribly lost....

Words of Advice From Yogananda

Words of Advice From Yogananda

“Every night when you sit to meditate, pray to God unceasingly.
Cry as you once cried to your mother or father, ‘Where are You? You made me. You are in the flowers, in the moon, and in the stars. Must You remain secret? Come to me. You must. You must.’
With the intellect and the love of your heart, tear at the veils of silence. With the rod of devotion churn the ether, and it shall produce God.”
“Your soul’s message cannot reach God through your mental microphone if it is broken by the hammers of restlessness. You must repair that microphone by practicing deep silence both in the morning and before sleep, until all restless thoughts disappear. Then, affirm deeply, ‘My Father and I are One,’ until you feel the response of God as deep, increasing peace. This peace will not be felt except through practice of the right method of meditation. This increasing peace, or bliss, is the surest proof of God’s contact and response.”

~ Favorite music ~ 

Moi Music List covers lots of Genres,At its core, the different blues traditions ,jazz and Country music have remained the absolute fvrt.Contemporary R&B,soft rock, New age.I £ove Classical Contemporary,Baroque, Renaissance ,Romantic Classical, Modern Classical music.....Though an amaetur there is a never-ending thirst to fully be absorbed in the beautiful classical works....So it remains moi first love...because it gives moi so much potential to learn...For moi its like Experiencing the deepest secrets of spirituality ....
But...i have to say...Moi musical taste is not limited to them,I keep exploring....but after all of it....i run back to moi classical loops... Because there is so much depth and subtlety in these forms that somehow other genres just don't do it for moi as much...Yup i know....
I'm a bit weird…up in moi mind..😁
So if you are kindaa weird like moi...come get lost in a rollercoaster musical list...
On moi YouTube channel...

Thought of the day

When you have gone beyond thinking, and if you can still remain alert, aware, as if one is fast asleep but still alert—deep down at the very core of one’s being a lamp goes on burning, a small candle of light—then you will see your original face. And to see your original face is to be back in the Garden of Eden.
~Osho~

A stray fact: insects are not drawn to candle flames, they are drawn to the light on the far side of the flame, they go into the flame and sizzle to nothingness because they're so eager to get to the light on the other side.

~Michael Cunningham~

This too shall pass~a story

       ~This Too Shall Pass ~

【To Understand This Deeply】

~*~ ~*~ ~*~~*~ ~*~ ~*~~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Once A King Called Upon All Of His Wise Men And Asked Them, ” Is There A Mantra Or Suggestion Which Works In Every Situation, In Every Circumstances, In Every Place And In Every Time. In Every Joy, Every Sorrow, Every Defeat And Every Victory? One Answer For All Questions? Something Which Can Help Me When None Of You Is Available To Advise Me? Tell Me Is There Any Mantra?”All The Wise Men Were Puzzled By The King’s Question. They Thought And Thought. After A Lengthy Discussion, An Old Man Suggested Something Which Appealed To All Of Them. They Went To The King And Gave Him Something Written On Paper, With A Condition That The King Was Not To See It Out Of Curiosity. Only In Extreme Danger, When The King Finds Himself Alone And There Seems To Be No Way, Only Then He Can See It. The King Put The Papers Under His Diamond Ring.Some Time Later, The Neighbors Attacked The Kingdom. King And His Army Fought Bravely But Lost The Battle. The King Had To Flee On His Horse. The Enemies Were Following Him. Getting Closer And Closer. Suddenly The King Found Himself Standing At The End Of The Road - That Road Was Not Going Anywhere. Underneath There Was A Rocky Valley Thousand Feet Deep. If He Jumped Into It, He Would Be Finished…And He Could Not Return Because It Was A Small Road…The Sound Of Enemy’s Horses Was Approaching Fast. The King Became Restless. There Seemed To Be No Way.Then Suddenly He Saw The Diamond In His Ring Shining In The Sun, And He Remembered The Message Hidden In The Ring. He Opened The Diamond And Read The Message. The Message Was – “ THIS TOO SHALL PASS ”The King Read It . Again Read It. Suddenly Something Struck Him- Yes ! This Too Will Pass. Only A Few Days Ago, I Was Enjoying My Kingdom. I Was The Mightiest Of All The Kings. Yet Today, The Kingdom And All My Pleasures Have Gone. I Am Here Trying To Escape From Enemies. Like Those Days Of Luxuries Have Gone, This Day Of Danger Too Will Pass. A Calm Came On His Face. He Kept Standing There. The Place Where He Was Standing Was Full Of Natural Beauty. He Had Never Known That Such A Beautiful Place Was Also A Part Of His Kingdom.The Revelation Of The Message Had A Great Effect On Him. He Relaxed And Forgot About Those Following Him. After A Few Minutes He Realized That The Noise Of The Horses And The Enemy Coming Was Receding. They Moved Into Some Other Part Of The Mountains And Were Nowhere Near Him.The King Was Very Brave. He Reorganized His Army And Fought Again. He Defeated The Enemy And Regained His Empire. When He Returned To His Empire After Victory, He Was Received With Much Fanfare. The Whole Capital Was Rejoicing In The Victory.Everyone Was In A Festive Mood. Flowers Were Being Showered On King From Every House, From Every Corner. People Were Dancing And Singing. For A Moment King Said To Himself, “ I Am One Of The Bravest And Greatest King. It Is Not Easy To Defeat Me. With All The Reception And Celebration He Saw An Ego Emerging In Him.”Suddenly The Diamond Of His Ring Flashed In The Sunlight And Reminded Him Of The Message. He Open It And Read It Again: “ THIS TOO SHALL PASS ”.He Became Silent. His Face Went Through A Total Change - From The Egoist He Moved To A State Of Utter Humbleness. If This Too Is Going To Pass, It Is Not Yours. The Defeat Was Not Yours, The Victory Is Not Yours. You Are Just A Watcher. Everything Passes By. We Are Witnesses Of All This. We Are The Perceivers. Life Comes And Goes. Happiness Comes And Goes. Sorrow Comes And Goes.Now As You Have Read This Story, Just Sit Silently And Evaluate Your Own Life. This Too Will Pass. Think Of The Moments Of Joy And Victory In Your Life. Think Of The Moment Of Sorrow And Defeat. Are They Permanent ? They All Come And Pass Away. Life Just Passes Away. There Is Nothing Permanent In This World. Every Thing Changes Except The Law Of Change. Think Over It From Your Own Perspective. You Have Seen All The Changes. You Have Survived All Setbacks, All Defeats And All Sorrows. All Have Passed Away. The Problems In The Present, They Too Will Pass Away. Because Nothing Remains Forever. Joy And Sorrow Are The Two Faces Of The Same Coin. They Both Will Pass Away.You Are Just A Witness Of Change. Experience It, Understand It, And Enjoy The Present Moment - This Too Shall Pass
