Life is Short

 


Life is Short

When we are young time just does not pass at all as the day seems to be never ending, but as you grow older you just don’t know how time flies. The busier we get the shorter the day appears to be. It is very funny how time flies when we are joyous and happy and how the day seems to stretch when things are tense and not so nice, isn’t it. Life is really short so it is best to dwell on the good things in life and focus on what is long lasting and permanent.

When we compare our life span to that of the universe it is just like a micro second – in the universal time-space dimension that is just how long we live – life is really, really short! Be content, be happy, take life easy as life is short. There are always two sides to life – we see life in opposites actually – for example – love-hate, positive-negative, cry-joy, above-below, happy-angry, right-wrong, rich-poor, fail-pass and so on. Are these opposites coincidences? Have you asked yourself this? If you reflect deeply, you will realise that when we live our life we need to choose wisely – because our choice always decides which side of the opposite, we choose to live our life in – the positive or the negative!

Life is and always has been a double-edged sword. When you take the aid of an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning you think the clock woke you up – just try putting the alarm clock next to a dead body and see if the alarm going off can bring it back to life! You wake up every morning because of the Grace of the Architect of the Universe – God, Universal Consciousness, or whatever you would like to call it woke you up!

Nothing comes easy in life, just like a child learns to walk by holding hands, falling, getting up till it can really walk on two legs and then laughing in joy – the innocence of childhood – that is how you should achieve your skills, through diligent practice and continuously trying till you succeed and then laughing with the innocence of childhood. Remain like a child and you will never worry in life – the innocence will carry you through and make you shine like a dew drop in the morning sun’s rays!

When you meditate and turn inwards that childlike innocence is rekindled and with greater depths you reach within the more innocent and childlike you become. The earlier in life you start meditating the better it is, that much more time to attain a state of liberation – life is really short – and the time available should be utilised in turning inwards and finding inner joy and peace.

Mahashivratri - Har Har Mahadev!

  Mahashivratri - Har Har Mahadev! Tomorrow is Mahashivratri – the day Lord Shiva was united with Shakti. It is held on the 14 th night of the new moon in the month of Phalgun (onset of summer) as per the Hindu Calendar. In honour and as a mark of respect and devotion, Hindus fast for the full day and night of Mahashivratri. This is considered to be the darkest night of the year and it celebrates the grace of Lord Shiva who is said to be the Adi Guru or the first Guru from whom the tradition of Yoga originates. Mahashivratri is celebrated throughout the country in various Ashrams by all self-realised Saints in the presence of their devotees – either in the physical form or remotely – this year due to Corona pandemic, this festival will be mainly celebrated online. We, the Samarpan Family too will be celebrating this online through the live webcast on the GuruTattva YouTube channel. All the devotees wait eagerly for this day as the energy is literally palpable and, in my experi...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Talking to your Body Mind

Photo Credit: Pinterest Talking to your Body Mind In the labyrinth of our existence, there exists an unspoken dialogue—a conversation between our body, mind, and spirit. This discourse, often overlooked amidst the cacophony of daily life, holds the key to unlocking our innermost truths and nurturing holistic well-being. To embark on this journey of self-discovery, we must first quiet the noise of the external world and turn our gaze inward. As we delve deeper into the recesses of our being, we encounter the subtle whispers of our body and mind, each conveying its unique wisdom and insight. Our body, a temple of sacred intelligence, communicates its needs and desires through sensations, feelings, and emotions. It speaks the language of sensations—aches, pains, and discomforts—as messengers urging us to pay attention and listen with compassion. Simultaneously, our mind, the orchestrator of our thoughts and perceptions, weaves a tapestry of stories and narratives that shape our reality. I...
