Tackling the Past

 


Tackling the Past

Most of us live in the past because the past has a massive influence on our minds, certain incidents get stuck so badly in our psyche that we just cannot forget them. This reawakening of the past and recollecting the trauma and grief of the past invariably causes us terrific stress. We just cannot get rid of those memories. Every memory recall is opening up the wound afresh and reliving the pain and the anguish! Yesterday is alive only in our minds. The way to tackle the past is to create a great mental distance between those incidents of the past and the present moment.

You will most likely say – easier said than done! In a way you are right, but this is not a problem which cannot be solved. How will you create a mental distance between your past and your ‘now’? Every time some incident jogs distant memories, tell yourself – what has happened has happened, it cannot be undone, the only real moment is now – the present moment – and bring yourself mentally back to the present moment. Recall pleasant and happy memories in place of bad ones and soon you will find yourself putting a mental distance between the past and the now.

Meditation is a sure-fire way of living in the present – meditation under the guidance of a realised Master helps you turn inwards towards your soul. As you meditate with regularity alone and in the company of other seekers, you slowly start balancing your chakras, and with the balancing of your chakras your internal system gets harmonized with the universe – because what is outside is inside. This oneness with the universe in time quietens our mind to such an extent that the past literally becomes history – those bad memories get buried far away and your eureka moment comes – hey, the past no longer bothers me! Wow!

Do remember, meditation is a spiritual practice and it requires dedication and regularity to have a positive effect on your personality. Believe me your life will change for the better and you will turn into a completely new, calm, composed, happy, joy-giving person!

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

Image
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...
