Each Experience Completes

Life and its Experiences... We label experiences as Good or Bad.. Nevertheless they are just Karmic events unfolding themselves with someone as the Nimitta. The Essence is to take the Lesson perhaps and Move On... 

Even the slightest awareness about what happens around us gives us a glimpse of this reality... The most beautiful or the seemingly worst experiences in life lead us to a state of nothingness... A Vaccum !! 

As Gurudev has put so beautifully :  

"Each experience completes. Completion means leading to void or nothing. In the progression of life, you will leave behind every experience saying, "This is nothing." Anything that is completed loses its importance. That is to say it leads you to void - this is nothing. 

A sign of intelligence is how soon you arrive at this understanding. Examine everything in life and say "This is nothing" and what remains after all that, is Love, and that is everything. When "This is nothing" does not come out of knowledge, it comes out of misery.

 Either through knowledge or through misery, you come to the point of "This is nothing, this is nothing". The choice is yours. If you got this, it is really NOTHING, If you didn't get this, never mind - this is nothing. (laughter)

Free will and destiny

A debate that has man involved since years! The correct thought (intuition) just how does it arise and what is this thing about willing it all? (Law of attraction and The Secret)

The more you meditate and the calmer you become the lesser your desires and the cycle starts. The lesser your desires, the better the meditation! So for you to go deep within, you need to get out of the feverishness of desires. The way to do it is meditation :)

Understanding dispassion here is also very important.

Attachment, passion for objects or goals, doesn’t let you rest. And meditation cannot happen if the mind doesn’t rest. If there is no meditation, mind does not calm down, and in an unsteady mind, an intuitive thought cannot come. So the cycle continues…..

With regular kriya and meditation, the mind starts to calm down and in that peaceful state of mind, the thoughts that come are intuitive. Then the mind is able to catch the frequencies around of what is happening or is likely to happen. And when that thought materializes we feel Look I thought and it happened, though it is more like, it was going to happen but I caught the thought before it happened. (Happened so many times with me that I just knew it wasn’t because I asked for something, but just that my mind was catching the thought before it materialized.)

Like the other day when I had finished my kriya in the mng, and I got the thought ‘Gulab jamun’… It just kept ringing around me…
And I wondered why I thought of it. So I joked Guruji, now u have to send gulab jamun today..
I went downstairs to the kitchen to see what I could have for breakfast, zeroed in on khakra and just then mom placed a gulab jamun in my plate, saying the neighbours just sent this :D
Do I need to say nethg more??

Another beauty of nature: when the mind is at rest, and focused on the divine, nature waits to fulfil your needs even before they arise. So there is nothing to ask for :)

Not to underestimate master’s grace, that is what can take you out of anything :)

“When your nervous system is clear, the thoughts that come are intuitive thoughts. Intuitive thoughts are those which are in alignment with whatever is happening. So you call that free will. Whether you have absolute free will or absolute destiny it is the same.” Sri Sri
