Hi me, I love you!

We all long for Love, Acceptance and Recognition. We are doomed to endless frustration because we don’t recognize, appreciate, accept and acknowledge the love when it appears in front of us. That loving person, a moment or a thing could be right there, right now, and our resistance doesn't allow us to see it. We continue to blame bad luck or a series of external factors for not having a love in our life.

Love recognizes love; love can only be attracted by and returned by love. The best advice I can give for attracting and maintaining love is to be what it is that you are seeking. Most relationships that fail to sustain are based on one or both of the partners feeling as if their freedom has been compromised in some way: living in total insecurity. Love is not to make the other person feel worthless, ignored and threatened. When we are in love, something holds us together with our love; that is the energy holding the two together in close harmony with the universal order. This is “Togetherness”.

When we are in love a sublime energy flows through the partnership, and we are not threatened by the fear that we are not acceptable. It’s as if each person has whispered silently to the other, “You are the source energy in me”. The more of this loving, kind, beautiful, receptive, abundant, expanding, and creative energy is flowing through us, we feel better and fulfilled. When either of us feels downhearted, there’s less of this energy of fulfillment flowing. Nothing is disallowed by the universal order; whatever is not allowing us to be fulfilled in our own love is being disallowed by us.

What we love, we love the person or some differences? Most of the time love happens on the differences the person comes with. Our mind searches for differences and loves it. Truly speaking, there’s no difference between we and another person. This explains why you can’t hurt another person without hurting yourself, nor can you help another person without helping yourself. You share the same Source energy with everyone, and consequently, you must begin to think and act in a way that reflects your awareness of this principle. When you feel the need to have the right person show up, begin to change your inner dialogue to reflect this awareness.

It is wrong to submit our higher or original nature when we are in love. When we truly know what it is to love, as we’re loved, we won’t experience the kind of pain we did in the past when our love was unnoticed or rejected. It will, instead, be similar to how a friend described her experience of choosing to leave a relationship: My heart was broken, but it felt like it was stuck in the open position. I felt love flowing toward this person who couldn't love me the way I wanted to be loved, even as I left that relationship to seek the love I felt inside of me. It was strange to feel the pain of my broken heart at the same time feel its openness. I kept thinking, my heart’s broken, but it’s broken open. I shifted to an entirely new level of loving and being loved. Great experience, indeed!

When we feel and think that “We are pure love”, we’ll soon act this way. And all that we think, feel, and do will be reciprocated in exactly the same fashion. Believe it or not, this principle of the right person showing up has been in place forever. It’s only our ego that’s keeping us from seeing it and experiencing it clearly.

Mind is the instrument in hand, it is our choice to manage the string not too loose, not too tight, but just right -  Emotions are energy too, when they flow the most they hurt the least. Make a choice to let it flow out of us like a river. The ability to think and reason depends upon the knowledge and can be influenced by emotions. We can not accept any kind of disharmony, whenever we are in such situations we try to over come it by one or the other means. Because disharmony cant be accepted and it is not our nature. We look for harmony around us. Therefore when we are in harmony with the situation, we look for comforts. If we are not harmony with the situations then we are in harmony with the stress. Any thing causes disharmony that causes anxiety and tension. Since tension and anxiety are not our original nature, we can’t accept it and hence we can’t leave with anxiety and tension for a long period. It becomes very difficult to deal with and so mind starts...

Jealousy can destroy oneself!

Once, when Karna realized hat Arjuna was superior to him in archery, he approached Guru Drona and requested him to teach him how to be blessed with Brahmastra.  Guru Drona declined saying he can't teach any but a learned scholar rooted in dhrma or a kshatriya who had purified himself by dhrma and dhyana.  Disappointed Karna went to the Mahendra parvatha where sage Parashurama was staying. He deceived Parashurama by saying that he was a brahmana and became his disciple. From him he obtained instruction in archery and the use of many astras. Karna chose to approach Guru Drona for Brahmastra not for peace, but to prove his strength over Arjuna. His choice was plagued by likes and dislikes like jealousy. Where he had a choice to appreciate Arjuna, which he could not because of his likes and dislikes of not accepting others as more knowledgeable. He deceived Parashurama, because he wanted to learn something special by which he could prove that h...

One day, I was walking through the walking paths of woods of the ashrama. It was a gorgeous evening; Sun was preparing to set. Suddenly, there was a big snake in front of me. I had almost stepped on, no one around and this could be painful death. I was paralyzed by fear, my body had broken into a sweat, my heart was beating to pop out.  But then, suddenly Guruji came and he dared to have a glance at the snake. Surprisingly, he claimed, “Devadutta, it is a rope. That snake is  a rope”. Now I realized I am safe and free from the fear of the snake. I can encounter this false snake for years after year. The entire Gurukula or for that matter the entire world could come upon this snake and scare themselves to death – I could remain fearlessly.  Guruji continued, “We build up our own stories, fear, pain and judgements about why it is a snake and not a rope. Our argument is to prove that the rope is a snake. We see and make others see a snake in ...
