real happiness...where is it?beyond 'I'.

Man,a being with unlimited desires and wishes.He tries every way possible to fulfill his desires and makes them come true.He makes many plans and proposals to complete them and when the desires get fulfilled he starts making plans to fulfill another one which he has ready for himself.and when we are not able to fulfill our desires,frustration and anger creeps in resulting to adding chaos in life.

Have we ever thought is this all we are?Do we depend on our desires to be happy or sad that once our desires are fulfilled we are happy and if they are not we are sad?Is it really important for all our desires to come true for our happiness?But then who are we?Have we made ourselves a mere toy in the hands of this world?

Yes.Today our happiness depends on the success of our plans and on approval of others.Today we need people to say that we are good to feel good.Where is the identity of a man lost?What ever a man desires shows his level of evolution and his state of mind.He might get wealth,health,,beauty,approval of others but is he going to take all this with him to his death bed..

The philosophy of life is very simple.You are what you think yourself to be.You get what you desire but happiness does not lie in living for oneself.Happiness is in living for others without any expectation in return.It is true joy when you do something for someone and expect nothing in return ,the joy of giving and the feeling that you have been chosen by the divine as a channel to change someone's life for better.

But how many people would actually look beyond themselves.Not many can leave the I(ego) and look beyond themselves.The reality is life beyond I is beautiful and worth living.Lets try to be humans.Lets try to  look beyond ourselves and make a life worth living.

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st...

'Vairagya'

We all know that we come in this world alone and go back alone. We will not be accompanied by anyone, no matter how close or dear we are to them, or they to us. Pause a minute and think: A majority of our problems stem from our near and dear ones. That is, relatives, immediate family, enemies and friends, not from someone unknown. You will also find that the rootcause of arguments, fights, emotional turmoil, congestions, broken relationships and business losses are also these very people. So it is safe to conclude that for the greater part of our lives we get troubled, not by absolute strangers but by people who are known to us. Your relationship with every individual is a result of one basic principle — as you sow so shall you get. It is a mere give and take. This give and take is a payback of our karma from our previous births and from this lifetime. You get associated with people because they need something from you and you need something from them too. Without any level of dependen...

THE YOG OF TIME TRAVEL

Time travel has remained one of the most intriguing subjects for physicists of all times. Scientists have spent their lives racking their brains on how to make it possible, yet as per modern sciences it remains a dream. On the other hand, the Vedic rishis had already decoded the mystery of time. Time, as per the Vedic rishis, is nothing but the distance between two thoughts. That is why in the state of dhyan, time does not exist as at that point thoughts cease to exist. The higher the state of evolution or stillness, slower is the passage of time for that being. It is said that in a blink of Lord Brahma’s eye a yuga passes by, and a blink of Lord Vishnu’s eye sees a mahayug pass by. Through yogic practices like Sanatan Kriya , one is able to still ones thoughts and hence become independent of time. The yogi can then travel in time — go forward or backward. Travelling in time, in fact, is widely used in yog for the purpose of evolution and for aiding the creation. Yogis visit past liv...
