Covid-19 time for reflection, rejuvenation and restoration.

 

The four main pillars of mainstream spirituality are that the formless cosmic God belongs to all; divine revelation is possible through a genuine master; rites and rituals cannot by themselves help us gain divine knowledge; and all true masters who blessed seekers with revelation of the one formless supreme power; promoted qualities of humanism, altruism, humility, love, mercy, compassion and service. Al prophets, scriptures and their messages that transcend divisions, belong to entire humanity.

Religion essentially means knowledge of God. In the absence of actual knowledge, God is different for different persons and for the same person on different occasions. The concept of one God for all, foresees the idea of one religion for all that suits the whole human race.

Mata Sudikshaji Maharaj, present spiritual head of sant Nirankari Mission says, “The world needs to be united as a family, accepting and loving each other.” The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted the whole world to ‘shut down for renovation’. A time for reflection, rejuvenation and restoration. Restoration of enlightened faith holds out the promise for a happier world eagerly waiting for a ‘grand opening’.

Be Blissful.

TRUE LEADERSHIP

Arjuna asked Krishna, 'Why Karna has a better leadership mindset than me?'

Krishna showed a mountain of gold and asked Arjuna to give to people in a single day. Arjuna, went to the mountain and broke the mountain rock by rock to give to the people. It took him several days to complete it.

Now, same task was allocated to Karna. He gave all the people the required tools to break the mountain.

He asked people to break the mountain and take what ever they wish. Everyone gathered and hit the mountain. They took away what they want and in few hours the entire mountain is vanished.

Krishna told Arjuna, 'You want everything to be done by you.

That is why it took you several days.

👉You determined how much to be given.

👉You didn't used team work and required tools to break the mountain.

👉Wanted credit for what you are doing.

But Karna's aim was only to break the mountain in a day and distribute it to the people. He used team work, required tools and never claimed credit of giving it from his hands.

Leaders never claim the team's credit, they stand in the front at the time of disaster, use right team member at the right place, use right tools and bring team together to complete huge task in short time. 

Be blissful.

DECLUTTER INNER SPACE AND KNOW WHO YOU ARE

We have to declutter our mind. Tidying is indeed a kind of philosophy, even in the physical world.

A clutter free home and workplace not only free up physical space, they also free your mind and bring joy. 

You become less stressed; your to-do lists get shorter. So this is perhaps what sages meant when they said, "empty your mind" - only when you give yourself (empty) space, you get clarity about everything, including about who you are.

When you gain Self knowledge and when you get Self realization you will claim "Aham Brahma asmi".

Practice the pause

 

When in DOUBT, pause

When ANGRY, pause

When TIRED, pause

When STRESSED, pause and

When you pause, PRAY.

Pray to God to give you the strength to face

all the experiences in your life with an equanimous mind.

Never regret a day in your life

 

Good days give happiness

Bad days give experience

Worst days give lessons and

Best days give memories.

Today is the best day. 

Make use of today and hope for the best.

EXCELLENCE

Excellence is a concept. Excellence is a drive from the inside and not outside. It is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction. The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates your work or not. Here I bring to your memory the story of a sculptor who wanted to carve a perfect statue without ant scratch marks, no traces at all.

Excellence is an ownership (Ownership without actually owning a thing) that we all take in the work that we present to our colleagues, which is one of the traits of a leader. A leader shows his excellence by his humility, by eating last and always says "after you".

Similarly all of us have to look inside and discover our Self and find out who we are by asking constantly with all sincerity and seriousness, "Who am I"? This cannot be explained and all of us are ignorant of this fact. Once we gain spiritual knowledge we will get clarity and come out of delusion which is bothering us at present.

Try to get inner peace and harmony and you will certainly gain 'Ananda' all the time.

Be blissful.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BHAGAVAD GITA AND VISHNU SAHASRANAMAM

Why do Spiritual Doctors prescribe chanting 

Vishnu Sahasranamam more than reading 

Bhagavad Gita?

Bhagavad Gita is the quintessence of 

Mahabharata and a sermon by Lord Krishna, 

while Vishnu Sahasranamam is a prayer sung

by Bheeshma as his parting message to 

Pandavas. 

Actually Sri Krishna himself requested 

Bheeshma to reveal these stostras to Pandavas. 

Bheeshma was surprised and Questioned 

Krishna,"why are you choosing Me at this stage

in My life for This., while You yourself 

could do this.?"

Then the Lord clarified: "Mine is like water of 

the Ocean.,which is not potable. When the 

message is through you,it is like Rain from the 

Cloud formed out of water from the ocean.This 

of course can quench the thirst. Moreover, I am 

the quintessance of Vedas. Whatever I say 

would appear as though I am Extolling myself. 

On the other hand, if you, a realised soul, 

speak about it, t has universal acceptance."

Thus we can conclude that "Bhagavad Gita is 

like the root of a tree, while Vishnu 

Sahasranamam is the Fruit from it."  

Be blissful.

Wishing you the most and more.
