The Divine in One’s Life

 


The Divine in One’s Life


When we go out in nature, we see the divine all around us – the peace, the calm, the energy which one’s feels quietens our minds, that is nothing but the divine. The hills, the mountains, jungles/forests, river banks, seas, oceans – where there is nothing but calm, silence and complete peace. When we are in such areas our attention automatically starts going within as the thoughts in our minds stop – this is completely natural as there are not thoughts in nature. Nature gives us a pure environment which we just have to absorb quietly.


That is one way to come in the presence of the divine – the other is meditation. Meditation under the guidance of a living realised Master is the fastest way to self-realisation and the commencement of one’s inner journey! The habit of being inwardly in the calm presence of one’s soul – the ‘God’ within, thus keeping that consciousness steadfast day and night. Being in constant companionship of the soul helps one remain healthy, protected from being enslaved by disease, suffering and fear. Don’t you feel that is worth the effort?

Meditate every morning and welcome the day by thanking the God within for this beautiful day and whatever it brings; meditate in the evening too to thank God for the day gone by and feel the divine before going to sleep at night – once you start doing this you will start feeling happiness, joy, bliss beyond expectation!

Effort is necessary, but that effort will make one a king enthroned in the kingdom of peace and joy. Time spent in the pursuit of extraneous material things is a waste of man's precious opportunities to know the God within. Once you find the peace within you will learn to live with it and even the most trying of circumstances will not make you lose your equilibrium. Such is the power of meditation and becoming one with the divine lying within each one of us. Make the Divine a daily part of your life and stay blissed and blessed.

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 experience

  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 just before our

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
