Wake up in Joy
No one can be joyous all the
time, and sometimes we struggle with feeling gloomier than we would like to!
Even though its challenging to be positive, especially during this corona pandemic,
you can definitely maintain your inner joyous state while going to sleep and
wake up the next morning with that same joyous feeling.
Remember that according to
physics the energy in the universe is constant, energy can neither be created
nor destroyed. Every individual too is a mini universe – Aham Brahmasami,
meaning I am divine, signifying one’s union with the higher self. At the core
of the Sanatan Dharama is the tenet that the whole universe exists within each
one of us. It is through our spiritual practice that we reach the state of Aham
Brahmasami, after knowing which nothing remains to be known. The quantum of
positive or negative energy that we give away is equal to what we receive over
a lifetime.
When you help someone and that
person doesn’t reciprocate the gesture, you receive help unexpectedly when you
need it most from some completely different source. The joy and positive energy
that one spreads returns to the sender like a boomerang at a different point in
time, when one needs it the most. Therefore, there is no point in worrying
about such things, karma takes care of everything, just be selfless and loving
and the result will always be joy.
Happiness and joy are in the
mind, so set your mind to be happy and joyous, learn to extract joy from nature
– nature is always blooming – let your state of joy be natural and once you
learn to do this, the people around you will feel that joyous energy. You will
always be in a state of wakeful happiness, joy!
When you do something selflessly
for others, that feeling of joy sets in – acts of selfless kindness bring out
the divine in each one of us. Being kind and compassionate is human nature, but
we have all forgotten this in the surrounding cacophony of urban noise!
Learn to be grateful for all the
things that you receive, expression of heartfelt gratitude sets you free and
clears your heart chakra. A pure heart chakra brings out the love and the joy
within to the fore. Practice meditation and wakeful awareness, stay in the
present moment and joy will be your constant companion. Once you reach this
state, joy in others will be awakened in your presence!
