Who made me think ?

Funny feeling it is when all of a sudden we would lose ourselves in the world of thoughts and find ourselves wasting precious joules of energy getting angry, jealous, happy, sad, sometimes naughty in our dream world. Ever wondered why we think, where we get these thoughts? Do all people get the same thoughts? Well, I decided to do some research and google my thoughts.  Remember a time when researching meant bugging your grand mum with not so comfortable questions. But technology has advanced and everything we need is just a click away. Cool isn’t it? Even though our original google is just a call away.  Anyway I was told that “ I was feeling lucky today” so I continued. Some links that I browsed said that these were because some neurons were fired while others directed me to some fancy brain maps ! All seemed to explain what happens when I think, but none why I think what I think. Not satisfied with the answers modern science was throwing at me, I decided t...

Your desires don’t satiate you, your desires consume you!

"The more desires a person has, the more the thoughts come to him/her to fulfil those desires and thus the person keeps planning and scheming. Thought is also a source of prana  because when the thought comes only then you act. Can you do anything without the thought of it coming first? First thought of aeroplane came and then aeroplane was manufactured. Similarly first thought of the atom bomb came and only then it was invented. Every single thing is preceded by its thought. How would you have made these without the thought of making them? And these thoughts go right up to the cellular level and thus desires get embedded in each and every cell of your body.There is a very interesting study on this,ie, Consciousness at the level of the cell. A person named William Sheridan went for a heart transplant and after the operation suddenly he started painting and sketching landscapes and wildlife. He was himself surprised to see this...So later research was done and it was found...

you can never satisfy anybody

Life-full of surprises,ups and downs,expectations and rejections but when you understand the correct meaning of life and the purpose of your birth,life becomes very clear.Every relation we make in our lives has some give and take from our previous lives.Be it any relation even when you try to give your hundred percent most of them are not happy, rather have complaints about the way things are been done.Even if you die for them,they would say you could have died in a better way.There is no end to human needs and wants and satisfaction is never there in any relation.To indulge endlessly in satisfying others is a futile exercise. You must do your duties to the best of your ability, each one knows his/her ability and then never look back. Your “worldly duties” will never end. Hold the hand of a GURU and find a purpose and meaning to life and walk on the right path in the right way.

Work to make yourself worthy...

‎Asteya is non-stealing, in thought or deeds. Trying to possess something that is not yours, be it material or something that is non-material like taking credit for work that was done by somebody else, is also stealing. The Gita says that men get what they deserve as per their karma. When you see something with someone, which is something you pine for, be it a person or something material, do not try to steal it and neither try to take it by force. But look into yourself and ask yourself what kind of positive karmas would make you deserve that. Do those positive acts and make yourself worthy of that physical pleasure. The Divine would definitely bestow you with that if you deserve it.  So work to make yourself worthy. (An extract from the book "Sanatan Kriya-Essence of Yoga" by Yogi Ashwini)
