Facing Life's Challenges

 


Facing Life’s Challenges

From the time one is born life is a challenge – this is true for everyone! At every turn we face a challenge, some challenges are just tests, and the others are serious, some even life threatening. The test of human character lies in how one faces life’s challenges. Do you face it head on, or do you look for an escape route? Sometimes in life, the circumstances are such that you do not have the will to take on such challenges, in such times it is fine if you move away and pray to God to give you the strength and the wherewithal to face such challenges when they crop up in the future.

Fear is a factor which inhibits you in facing challenges. You need to overcome this fear – remember fear is just a thought – with control of the mind you will find that your fear also disappears. Learn to accept and let go, overcome your fears, and practice gratitude – all these help you in facing life’s challenges.

With every challenge that you overcome, you find your nature changing – here you need to become a witness and observe the change. Are you changing for the better or for the worse? Are you becoming humble and more compassionate or is your ego becoming larger than life? This personal introspection is very important – it will make or break you on the spiritual path!

You need to tune in to universal consciousness, make it your partner to help you face your challenges. You yourself have to face your challenges and overcome them, but if you are in tune with universal consciousness, if you are in tune with the vast, positive collectivity which universal consciousness represents, then you will find it easy to overcome any kind of challenge.

The question is how do we tune in to universal consciousness? Meditation under the guidance of a realised Master, joining a vast band of positive souls during meditation, helps you connect with universal consciousness – once you do that then you not only connect – you merge with universal consciousness! After this happens none of life’s challenges will bother you – you will just go through them without a flutter. But the biggest challenge is merging with universal consciousness – for that you need a realised living Guru, you need to bow down and surrender unconditionally at the lotus feet of the Guru and let His Grace and Compassion help you cross over from body consciousness to soul consciousness!

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...
