Why Limit Yourself to Small Things

Human beings often confine themselves to narrow identities - family, nation, religion, race, gender, or colour. These boundaries may provide a sense of belonging, but they also limit the vastness of our existence. Why restrict ourselves to small things when the whole of existence is waiting for us?

The truth is simple: we are not just members of a crowd, a nation, or a religion. We are part of the infinite cosmos. To belong only to a fragment is to deny the wholeness of life. Meditation reveals this truth. Through regular practice - alone and in collectivity - we connect to universal consciousness. In that connection, the walls of limitation dissolve, and we discover our true belonging.

Meditation is the doorway to expansion. As we sit in silence, the mind’s narrow definitions begin to fade. We stop identifying ourselves with labels and roles. Instead, we experience ourselves as pure awareness, inseparable from the whole. This realisation transforms our outlook. We no longer see ourselves as confined beings; we see ourselves as part of the infinite.

When inner inconsistencies dissolve, positivity becomes natural. We begin to look only for the good in others. Negativity no longer touches our lives. Problems lose their weight, conflicts dissolve, and relationships transform. The whole world begins to appear as love, kindness, and bliss. This is not imagination - it is the natural result of connecting to universal consciousness.

Belonging to the whole of existence means living without boundaries. It means seeing beyond family, gender, race, or religion. These identities are temporary; they are part of the external world. But the soul belongs to eternity. Meditation helps us realise this eternal belonging. In silence, we discover that we are not separate from the stars, the rivers, the trees, or the people around us. We are one with all.

Collective meditation magnifies this realisation. Alone, meditation deepens our inner silence. In collectivity, it expands our connection to humanity. Sitting with others in meditation creates a powerful field of consciousness. In this field, the ego dissolves more quickly, and the natural tendency to see goodness in others strengthens. We begin to experience the world not as fragmented individuals but as one collective soul.

This expansion changes the body as well. Stress fades, health improves, and vitality increases. But beyond physical health, emotional health blossoms. Joy becomes natural, gratitude flows easily, and compassion becomes effortless. Looking for good in others is not just a mental attitude - it is the fragrance of a soul that knows it belongs to the whole.

Ultimately, limiting ourselves to small things is denying our true nature. We are not just a fragment - we are the whole. Meditation helps us realise this truth. It connects us to universal consciousness, dissolves inner inconsistencies, and makes positivity our second nature. When we stop belonging to small things and start belonging to the whole, life becomes love, kindness, and bliss.

So, we should ask ourselves: why limit ourself to small things when the whole of existence is waiting for us? Expand through meditation, connect to universal consciousness, and discover the infinite joy of belonging to all.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  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!

The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation

Image
  Photo Credit: Gem Selections Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation During meditation, many seekers experience subtle vibrations within the body, mind, and soul - gentle waves of energy that signify a deep spiritual awakening. These vibrations are not random sensations but profound indicators of an inner transformation. They reflect the movement of divine energy within us, cleansing our consciousness, dissolving blockages, and aligning us with higher frequencies of existence. The meaning of these vibrations varies based on an individual’s spiritual journey, yet they always serve as a sign that meditation is working at a deeper level beyond the mind’s comprehension. In the initial stages of meditation, vibrations may be felt as tingling, warmth, or pulsations in different parts of the body. These sensations often occur when energy begins to flow more freely, removing stagnation caused by stress, emotional burdens, and past karmic impressions. The human body is not just physic...
