 I took almost verbatim this snippet from a book–“As far as the heart can see: stories to illuminate the soul” authored by Mark Nepo. Although I am uncertain if this is legally permissible, my heart is content with utilizing this observation to impart a nugget of wisdom for the greater good. A small flower growing out of a stone quiver high above the worn paths. Its fragrance drifts down to shore where a young woman is contemplating suicide, and something in the hint of a flower lifts her depressed head for a moment. The sent picked up by a gull, matted in its feathers. It makes the gull fly wildly through the only cloud, through the white center of no thing. An old man in a fishing boat is stunned by the swift charge of the gull into the open sky. He relaxes his net, and, underneath the shadow of the boat, the tangled angelfish squirm free The flower would never know the impact it had on so many lives, giving a young girl a chance to live, uplifting a bird to take flight in the op...

 To safeguard children, typical parents tend to think within the limited scope of their own awareness. For instance, they feel a sense of ease and comfort when their studies are going well, but a wave of dread and unease when they are not. Likewise, their scope of awareness is restricted by elements like their religious beliefs, cultural traditions, and fear of societal judgment. They would even take actions with this limited scope, which would harm their children's future, such as arranging early marriages or forcing them into work of their choice. Their worry will only hurry them to act within their narrow view, depriving their children of joy even though they can survive comfortably. Understand that the human mind is limited in comprehending the vastness of the universe and the countless opportunities it holds. Experience the boundless expanse, have faith in the universe, and embrace the countless unknown opportunities awaiting you and your children. The only prerequisite for en...

Related Article   In this film, a group of police officers search for two criminals. They faced many challenges during their journey, including lack of departmental support, personal issues, lack of encouragement, and insufficient salary. At one point, I couldn't comprehend the motivation behind their relentless work, even at the expense of their safety and their families' well-being. As they chase, they realize the magnitude of the crimes being committed by those criminals. They have already taken the lives of several individuals and slaughtered countless animals, focusing on elephants solely for their ivory tusks, inflicting immense suffering upon many creatures. From a human perspective, these crimes are extremely frightening and may cause police officials to hesitate unless they are driven by their excitement or dedication to catch the criminals. The excitement or commitment to catch them should originate from their higher soul (expanded consciousness state), which transcen...

  In order for any partnership to thrive, it is crucial to engage in collaborative efforts that promote both individual growth and the expression of one’s core nature. One should refrain from attempting to mould their partner or placing expectations upon them, as it hinders their freedom. Focus on your personal growth, allowing your partner to grow in their own unique way, and fostering collaboration between the two of you. Don't let the relationships of others, such as your parents, friends, or relatives, influence your judgment of your partner. Look at your partner with a renewed perspective, fresh eyes allowing your heart to guide. “The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to a higher possession of their own being.”  ― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

  I, as Vijay, only I exist in reality while dreaming, but I see myself in many characters. I simultaneously exist in all of those characters. I derive a one-of-a-kind experience from every character. This collection of experiences cause my dream to change. I, as a soul, only I exist in reality, but I am embodied in multiple physical forms across planets (and even galaxies) at once. While I was in a physical body, I experienced a sense of separation from the rest of the world. When I exit the body, which is also referred to as the body dying, or when I am engaged in deep meditation while still in the body, I am able to perceive myself in all physical beings. NDEs confirm this experience. I, as a soul, deliberately chosen a physical body with qualities like anger, fear, jealousy, physical limitations or strengths, specific skills, and more. These fears (and other qualities) are not mine, but belong to the body that is created by a couple (and their ancestors by means of inheritance)...

  Whether you choose to follow Krishna, Rama, Jesus, Mohammed, Gautam Buddha, or any other figure, it is like depriving yourself of the opportunity to fully embrace and make use of the physical body that has been given to you. Allow yourself to be inspired by their stories, absorb the lessons they offer, and then craft your own remarkable story. When you simply follow others, your capacity for fresh thinking diminishes along with your creativity. You are here to leave your signature while expressing yourself, inspire others, and let others create their own signatures. While creating your footprint or signature, you can collaborate not only with physical beings like the surrounding people but also with non-physical beings such as souls. While your goal may not be to create a footprint or a unique story, it naturally emerges as you fulfill or express yourself in your own unique way. Reference: Part 1 in this article.

  The gift of empty silver is truly remarkable because it offers you the freedom to fill it with anything that brings you joy or excitement. By default, life lacks meaning, but this emptiness grants you the freedom to give it meaning through your creativity. It is clear to me that your life has been influenced and taken over by various external forces, including schools, colleges, cultures, religions, careers, and societal pressures. As long as you are asleep, they will keep hijacking your life. I mean, unaware of your true nature and seeing yourself as just a mortal body. Recognize your true nature, release concerns, make choices based on your preferences, take actions towards that fresh path even though they are small, and have faith in yourself. You are much much more than just a mortal body. Always remember the great fact that the physical world reflects what lies within you. So, focus within instead of attempting to change the external world. Refer to first paragraph in this ...

  A demon named Ghatothkachudu lived during the times of the Pandavas. His body resembles a mountain, capable of overpowering hundreds of people with a single hand. Despite his demonic nature, his association with divinely inspired individuals might have made him more sensible. In the heat of battle, he fought with unwavering loyalty for the Pandavas, until Karna's piercing arrow found its target. He was on the verge of death, descending towards the ground. In a final gesture with that body, he respectfully bowed down to Krishna. Krishna blessed him, instructing him to fall on the side where Kauravas stood, resulting in the stamping death of thousands of soldiers, alleviating some burden. He executed the task with a smile, twirling his mustache with pride. This story serves as a reminder to fully embrace and appreciate the capabilities of our bodies, aligning them with the higher soul and utilize them to the best every moment till end. Never worry about dying as you will never die ...

  Physical world reflects what is in your consciousness. It cannot exist alone, just like the reflection in a mirror. If you possess inner joy, it will manifest as a joyful life in the physical realm. Without joy inside, it’s impossible to discover it outside, similar to how an image requires someone standing in front of a mirror. From this viewpoint, the physical world is considered unreal. Concept Consider the analogy of a conscious dream where only I exist. I am all that is in my dream. Various thoughts in my mind are manifested as unique characters in my dream. I permeate all of those characters; they are all me, but various limitations imagined over me give rise to unique versions of myself. The behavior of each character reflects their distinctiveness, resulting in interesting drama when they interact. If I were to envision a butler, the limitations imposed on me result in that part of myself appear separate from myself and behaving as a butler. Just like that, by applying di...

  Humans are terrified of death and often feel abandoned or forsaken by God in their final moments. In contrast, it is resurrection. We experience a sense of separation from each other on earth. I perceive myself as this body and view the other body as someone different. The majority of humans feel this separation, which is a fundamental limitation they impose on themselves. On top of this primary limitation, numerous other limitations, such as gender, religion, and nationality, many other limitations within these, ultimately resulting in countless ways we feel disconnected or separated. All suffering stems from this feeling of separation. Political and religious leaders often promote this separation for personal gain and become deeply attached to it. Those who closely follow them also become strongly attached to the feeling of separation. During death, as you move out of the body, you leave the root separation stemmed from personality or physical body and subsequently all million ...

  Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton This eye-opening book delves into the scientific principles of consciously maintaining and healing health, while providing a tantalizing glimpse into the world of spirituality. The Seat of the Soul By Gary Zukav This book assists individuals in aligning their personality with their soul by being aware of emotions and make a responsible choice with the intention of love and trust. Personally, I found it helpful in building healthy relationships with people around and with the soul. Achieving the perfect balance between inner and outer worlds.

  In the past, I had a great deal of interest in trying a variety of foods and found contentment in doing so. However, over time, this ceased to provide me with the same level of satisfaction, leading me to consume larger quantities in order to achieve that sense of contentment. Unfortunately, this resulted in unnecessary weight gain. Subsequently, I decided to shift my focus to a fresh domain, specifically engaging in the activity of driving a car, which brought me considerable pleasure for some time. Just like losing interest in eating, my enthusiasm dwindled once more. I decided to start taking vacations, but unfortunately, I found nothing of interest after a couple of trips because they all seemed to follow the same template. Additionally, I've tried taking part in activities like watching sports, movies, and other types of entertainment, only to realize they all follow a similar pattern or formula. I feel like everything will remain the same, so exploring other forms of entert...

  Part 1 Friendship is a quality that can be seen in those who express it, earning them the title of friend. Divinity is a quality and whoever expressed it can be called as God. Friendship is confined to oneself, a group of people, and so on. Divinity is boundless and encompasses all, irrespective of religion, nationality, and more. It's foolish to confine God to any particular religion. Krishna is the name given to a body. He permitted divinity to express itself through him, resulting in godly actions. His actions were so godly that people started calling him God. Jesus, too, possessed divinity which made his actions godly and resulted in people referring to him as God. Mohammed, too, is an outstanding personality, through whom the same divinity flows. Same divinity is flowing through all of us but with the difference that we could not recognize it. We are looking outside for it instead of looking within, but all outstanding personalities looked within and allowed it to express th...

  Nowadays, it's common to witness couples engaged in heated arguments over various issues, making marriages a breeding ground for strained relationships. Such a couple is often labeled as imperfect or incompatible, leading to recommendations of separation or divorce if they are married. We all seek a comfortable and peaceful life, expecting others to conform to our vision, but we resist changing ourselves.  Reality is the complete opposite of our perception. Despite being perceived as stressed by the general public, the couple is actually perfect for each other. They consciously embodied (or incarnated) conflicting personalities, using them as a means to explore and overcome painful emotions. The choice between reacting and responding lies at the crux of every decision, with painful consequences on one hand and constructive ones on the other. By restraining ourselves at the very brink, recollecting our true nature beyond body, and seeking the guidance from the heart, non-phys...

  Part 1 Initial thoughts When you feel love, you feel it towards all. If you feel love towards some, but not towards everyone, then it cannot be classified as love. Love can only be felt once you have discovered your true essence beyond the physical form. Love cannot exist until that moment arrives. Just as Parvathi and Shiva are inseparable, Lakshmi and Vishnu cannot be separated, and water cannot be separated from wetness, light is inseparable from the Sun, love cannot be separated from you when you are conscious of yourself. The moment you discover your true self beyond the body is the moment you start loving everything. Part 2 Please understand that core conept & inference here I am that I am. I am the Self, only Self. Just like I appear as many characters in my dream, I appear as many in this world. I subject myself to various limitations in order to manifest in different forms, and each form offers its own distinct experience. When I incarnate as a human, I experience a...

  During my childhood, I desired to play but was limited to only a short amount of time forced to prioritize my studies in order to establish a successful career. There are moments when I feel motivated to work, while at other times I don't. However, regardless of my emotions, I am obligated to work every weekday during the active hours. Occasionally, I have the desire to go out, but I can only do so when the holidays coincide with the schedules and preferences of my family members. I had a strong desire to travel around the world, but unfortunately, my plans were hindered because of financial constraints. I desired to select a profession that aligns with my heart's desires, but unfortunately, I am limited to choosing a profession solely based on its financial returns, regardless of its alignment with my heart. One of the things I truly enjoy is expressing my spiritual opinions. However, religions often condemn this freedom and instead impose upon us the rigid teachings found ...

  Energetically, we are all connected scientifically. There is not a second one. If we can calm the mind and master the skill of listening to our inner voice or heart, it guides us towards the perfect action tailor made to our circumstances. In simple words, it is intuition. The intention behind our work determines the outcome. Intention deep within which may not be the intention on the surface. Sometimes we aren't even aware of the intentions hidden in our subconscious mind. In real time, I saw shops successfully attracting people even with no innovation. There are few shops that appear clean, and futuristic, yet lack customers. I can't comprehend the logical rationale for that. I have realized he reason which is your deep intention to run that business. The intention may be non-physical, but it affects the physical world's manifestation. When someone runs a business with the sole intention of increasing profits, without giving due consideration to customer satisfaction a...

  The root cause of previous world wars traces back to the ignorant motive of a select few wealthy individuals. By exploiting the vulnerability of the masses, they have skillfully manipulated their minds through intelligent speeches, instilling feelings of fear, anger, rage, and more. Individuals harbored rage within themselves as expected, it reflected in the behavior's of those around them as per the universal law, and gradually, this infectious virus spread throughout the entire world. The result was the transformation of masses into armies, locked in deadly combat while the rich, who initiated the conflict, remained unscathed, though power shifted among them. Victims can be defined as individuals who are easily influenced by external factors and tend to conform to the ideas and opinions of others. History continues to repeat itself (Israel – Palestine), this time in the name of nation, religion, and even God. The formula remains consistent as it involves deliberately instillin...

  I (consciousness) am all that is. Soul is an aspect of that “I”. Love is the energy of the soul. Soul incarnates into a physical body and each physical body has its unique character or personality. When I viewed the world through the lens of the Soul, I observed many beings identified themselves with physical bodies, each body carrying multiple identities such as gender, family, religion, country, profession, and more. From the perspective of each identity, the world appears distinct and varied. The interactions of billions of individuals with these diversified identities create a range of energies - from harmonious to angry, jealous to reverent, polite to violent, raging to peaceful. The collision of these energies created a cacophony of sounds, resulting in an unimaginable amount of violence. While peace is a possibility, I've only encountered it in isolated pockets around the world. They cannot even peacefully watch a cricket match, as the identity of nation or religion is add...

  Standing on the bridge and watching the flow of water adds life and vibrancy to my eyes, while the cool breeze brings a soothing and comforting sensation to my skin. The gentle sound of water creates a melodic symphony that enchants my ears, and the delightful smell of greenery embraces my nose. All of these elements come together to inspire a rush of poetry in my mind, and I find great joy in reciting these poems aloud. If I decide to jump into the water, I will be carried away by the powerful current of the river. Because of the emphasis on survival, there is limited space to embrace the beauty and unravel the poetic essence. Similarly, look at the world as you, simply you. There is so much to learn from the diversity of religions, cultures, and many other aspects of life. Once you identify with any of them, it filters out the rest of the beauty. Identifying with a religion may lead to preferences or aversions towards other religions; identifying with a country may lead to pre...

  We express our love for him, her, or our pet, as they all bring us joy. Based on what I know, using the word "love" may not be suitable in this situation, and using "like" would be more fitting. Love is something that the universe never ceases to bestow upon us, regardless of our mistakes, and it encourages us develop a greater consciousness of the world around. Love is a gift that we offer to others, giving them the opportunity to consciously cultivate personal growth. Giving or sharing may not always bring pleasure. One example is at the micro level where diseases, especially chronic ones, can be perceived as blessings bestowed upon us by the Universe to awaken our consciousness. Similarly, at the macro level, natural disasters can also be viewed as gifts presented to us in order to revive our collective consciousness. Liking someone requires a reason, but loving someone shouldn't. Love can happen with all (as we choose everyone to grow consciously), but lik...

  We need mangoes tree, neem tree, apple tree and many other varieties of tree are necessary for the world to survive. We need variety of birds, animals, plants, and many more diversified beings for the world to survive. Similarly, we need many religions, cultures, different ways of perceiving the God, different practices for the world to survive. This diversification is necessary to create various interactions among the humans (and other beings) and these interactions give various experiences, various experiences navigate us to refine our choices and these responsible choices align our intentions to the intention of our soul (God) which is Love. Believe not who says our religion (or nation or culture or race) is superior. Believe not who says covert all to our religion. Believe not who says to establish our religion across the world by replacing others. Believe not who calls for war to secure our religion. (All the above automatically triggers others to defend themselves and ev...

 Life is all about the transformation of our mind from one state to another and situations around us would help us in achieving that. Once upon a time humans were also living like animals primarily focusing on food and shelter. Many beings including humans are taking birth, staying for some time, and dying. Nobody would like to die and they could not control it. They felt limited and thought there must be some force doing all this. They don’t understand what it is, and it remains “Unknown”. This seems to be the one starting point of religion. Some wise man started thinking about something that our senses could not perceive but look to be existing based on their observations. To take this concept to the masses who cannot think much, they have given some name & form to that “Unknown” and started praying it as a God to save them, give them more power, etc.. Similarly, different sects of people living in various parts of this world had a similar experience, and they have given vari...
