One's Conscience

 


One’s Conscience

We say a lot of stuff in pure innocence during our childhood which the adults usually ignore as the blabber of a kid. But it is said that till the age of five the child recollects a lot of stuff from his/her past life and usually utters it – which is ignored by the parents as gibberish! Actually, if we can train ourselves to listen to that voice and obey it then we will definitely enjoy a joyous life. What invariably happens is that we are admitted to school (at least during my childhood it was the age of five at which schools would admit children) – nowadays parents send their children to playschool (all a big business now, nothing to do with ‘education’) at the age of 1.5 to 2 years.

In India, education is such a big thing for the parents that they push the child into school, tuitions etc leaving no time for the child to develop any alternative hobbies or interests. With all this additional information which is dumped down the child’s system, the child soon forgets his fun filled ‘memories’ and is weighed down by ‘learning’ stuff in the name of education. Slowly and steadily the voice of the conscience goes quiet as the worldly chatter takes over.

The conscience does make feeble efforts to be heard, but is invariably silenced by the racket created by the intellect. Ultimately it goes totally silent! Life goes on in this business-like manner and we start living a materialistic life in a world filled with so many ‘wonderful’ things which we aspire to acquire. In this chase for material well-being at one point we reach a stage where we feel what are we doing all this for? Once this feeling starts growing on you, you start looking for quiet and peace. You go to beaches, hill stations, forests, mountains just to enjoy the peace and silence.

Once you start enjoying the silence your inner voice starts making a comeback, it then guides you towards your spiritual guide or Guru. This leads you to meditation and your inner journey starts, this is when your inner voice or your conscience makes a strong comeback – after this it keeps guiding you throughout your life – all you have to do is keep your inner ears open. Your conscience is your own Guru – guiding you all the time – learn to listen to it, ask it questions and you will find your answers.

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

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
