The 8-Step Path to Self-Realization and God-Realization

Spirituality is a profound process of Self-Realization that transcends human experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of life's purpose, values, compassion and personal growth. Spiritual Awakening is an invaluable gift graced upon those who truly seek it, who love God and yearn to attain Enlightenment, Liberation and Unification with God. The Journey to Spiritual Awakening Unless there is a deep yearning and seeking, one cannot be Spiritually Awakened. Are these the only attributes for Spiritual Awakening? No. These are just the basic steps to start. There are 8 Stages of Spiritual Awakening but unless we have a Spiritual Mentor, Spiritual Master or a Guru, we will keep on going round and round in circles without realizing the truth. The 8 Stages of Spiritual Awakening 1. Mumukshu A Mumukshu is one who...

It’s HaPPPy, Not HaPPy!

Discover the 3 Pillars, the 3 Ps of Lasting Happpiness Are you tired of chasing ‘happpiness’ only to find it fleeting and elusive? Do you want to discover a more profound and lasting sense of ‘happiness’? Then it's time to change the way you spell HaPPPy! The Traditional Concept of ‘Happpiness’ For centuries, we've been conditioned to believe that happpiness comes from external sources: wealth, success, relationships and material possessions. We've been led to believe that happpiness is something we can buy, achieve, or acquire. But is this really true? Unfortunately, the joy we experience from all these is ephemeral. It is pleasure, not real happpiness. The Problem with Traditional ‘Happpiness’ The problem with traditional happiness is that it's fleeting and often based on external circumstances. It's like chasing a mirage...

Live with tranquillity, not anxiety

We all experience anxious moments in life. It is a part of the life journey. But some people just live with anxiety. Anxiety becomes the very fabric of their existence. Worry and stress are knitted into every second thought. So, their life is full of misery and sorrow. Is this necessary? We have a choice. We can live with peace and tranquillity or with worry and anxiety. We must make a conscious choice because the mind is an expert in popping toxic thoughts. The mind is like a popcorn machine. It need not be told to produce thoughts. The function of the mind is just that. And just like we wake up, we eat, drink and breathe, we also think. But what we think is a choice....

The 10 Tenets of Rebirth

While we do not question birth and accept it as a reality, many of us are not sure whether a birth is just a birth or in fact, it is a rebirth on earth. To realize this truth, we need to contemplate. Contemplate death, to start with. Is death an illusion or is it a fact that every body must die? We don't doubt this. Death is certain. Once a person dies, we say that person has passed away. We have no doubt that the person who is dead is no more the body that lies on the bed. We are so sure, that we cremate or bury the body, which we would dare not do if one were just asleep. Therefore, we are sure that...

The importance of a Guru

For a seeker who seeks God, who seeks the truth, Enlightenment, it is imperative that he overcomes ignorance, the myths and the lies that we have grown up with. So, what is the way out of ignorance? What is the way to realize the truth? What is the way to Enlightenment? Enlightenment is not knowledge. You may read a book, and you may acquire a lot of knowledge but remain in a pile of ignorance. How can you eliminate ignorance? How can knowledge become realization? When we put water in a refrigerator, it remains water until the temperature dips. When it will crystalize into ice, it is no more water. So also, knowledge will remain knowledge till we realize the truth. Then, the knowledge becomes Enlightenment....

Instead of mourning death, celebrate it

When a child is born, everybody celebrates the arrival of the little one. But the child continues to cry! Why? Why is it that other birds and animals don't arrive on earth crying at birth? Is it because the human child is aware that it will suffer its Karma as it spends one more life on the planet? While this may be controversial to some, it leads us to contemplate why we celebrate birth and mourn death. It is good to celebrate birth because we are happy to receive a new member in the family. But for the one who is born, not only does it mean another life of dealing with past Karma, but also creating new Karma, then going through the ordeal, the struggle...

If you seek God, be still like a lake

What does it mean to be still like a lake? It means being thoughtless. This state of thoughtlessness is referred to as Consciousness. It is being like a still lake, with no ripples or waves of thoughts., So, how can we be thoughtless, without thoughts? It is important to tame the mind that jumps like a monkey from branch to branch and make it into a monk. We must watch it, catch it and latch it. In fact, we have to kill the mind. What does it mean to kill the mind? In reality, there is no mind. Have you ever seen the mind? We have all seen images or X-rays of different parts or organs of the body. But has a doctor ever shown us...

immortal immortal soul Ignorance

Do you know that you are Immortal?

If you tell somebody, 'You are immortal,' they will scoff at you. 'What do you mean by saying we are immortal?' they will ask. Because man lives in ignorance, man continues to cut a cake on a day that is fake and believes he is the body that was born 9 months after he was actually conceived. As long as we are imprisoned by ignorance, we will always believe that we are the mortal body that will die, not the immortal spark of energy that is the real 'I'. Let us reflect. The fact that we are born is known. But we are actually born 9 months before our delivery on earth - when we were conceived. Therefore, we are not this body. The body comes...

Life and Karma

Many people whine, complain and curse. 'Why do bad things happen to good people?' they ask. They don't realize that it is just not possible. Just as apples cannot grow on mango trees, bad things cannot happen to good people. The Universal Law of Karma governs everything that happens on earth. Did we decide where we will be born? No! Karma did. Nothing happens by chance, nor is God sitting in some distant heaven, deciding our fate. It is a simple law of action and reaction, 'As we sow, so shall we reap.' Unfortunately, we don't realize this. Therefore, first we curse whatever happens, then we rehearse, but we don't reverse the situation by overcoming our ignorance and celebrating. If something bad is happening, our past Karma...

Encouraging children to be spiritual

While children are taught moral education and other different subjects in schools, including mythological and religious stories, besides disciplines like languages, sciences, math, there is no focus on spirituality. Unfortunately, people tend to confuse religion with spirituality. But spirituality is different from religion. Spirituality is a way of life. It is beyond religion. Religion is only the kindergarten of spirituality. Religion teaches us the ABC of God, it introduces God to us at an early age. It helps build faith. By giving God a form, as religion does, it can help a child connect to God. Religion also provides us with a certain moral and ethical framework that we can live by, but it stops at that. Spirituality is beyond religion. Spirituality is the science...
