Kindness Stems from Unconditional Love

I was having a discussion with a friend who mentioned that if people can’t get into a meditative state, then what is the other way to progress. He said that Swamiji told him that the alternative is unconditional, selfless love. This morning during meditation I was ruminating on kindness and I got the sense that the source of kindness towards one and all originates from the feeling of unconditional and selfless love which is created from within. Again, the question is how does one develop this sense of unconditional and selfless love!

For the last several years I have been praying to my soul to develop unconditional love within myself and that the same should flow continuously from within me. The reaction of people who have come in touch with me during this lockdown phase have expressed that they feel very nice and good while talking or discussing things with me. I personally feel that this has happened because of the prayer which I offer every day during meditation. This prayer has also brought about a feeling of well-being and goodness within me. The feeling of selfless love is a condition of the soul which gets developed over a period of time – some of us will probably be blessed with this sense right from birth – but this will happen with those rare few who have embarked and traveled a great distance on their spiritual quest in the previous birth!

There is one problem with being kind and that is of being consciously aware that there are people out there who will try to take advantage of the goodness of your heart! This is a kind of protection that one has to develop by oneself by taking one’s soul into confidence and submitting to the soul for guidance. Your inner voice will always provide guidance, you just have to be alert to receive it and abide by its guidance. With complete awareness you can take care of such people by politely bypassing their efforts without hurting them. Each situation being different – you will always get guidance to suit the occasion!

Kindness manifests in different forms and when it manifests selflessly it is a booster for one’s spiritual progress. Kindness manifests as empathy, thoughtfulness, acceptance, an act of kindness without any words, expression of unconditional love, being graceful and nice in tight situations. There are infinite ways in which one could be nice. And to do that we need to develop the sense of unconditional and selfless love within us. When this happens everything else falls into place – you yourself get this feeling of blissful well-being and contentment which arises from deep within yourself.

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...
