My thoughts - Touch 1

• Sacred and scared – change in the position of ‘a’ and ‘c’ gives totally different meanings

• Working out for objectives is wiser than running behind objects

• Possessions and possessiveness – both take us nowhere

• Beatitude and beauty need not go together

• Silence is the best language for communication

• Expressions - handle them with care

* Two-way discussions are preferable to one-way discourses

* Life and death are changing chapters of my soul

* Love is mainly to share & care than to stare & bare

* 'Decent' is the most vague term I've come across

* My heart comes along wherever I go. No escape...

* Hearing and listening are different. Many don't understand this.

* I never understood how spirit could lift one's spirits.

* Is grey hair a symbolic representation of smart gray cells?

* I don't turn others my 'prey'; instead I only 'pray'

* Ironically, 'spirit' holds different meanings in 'spirituality' and 'spiritualism'

* I am very poor in listening to 'silence'

* Experiences need not bring wisdom

* My only thought is how to see the Light of my soul at the earliest

Guruji Speaks...

I was a bit restless since 1st July as the release of newsletter was delayed. Upon seeing it today online, I was greatly inspired. Here are the excerpts as usual...

//
* If a slightly complex point is presented, people complain that it is difficult to understand. If a point is simplified and presented, people grumble that it is too simple! I experienced this when I wrote about the Light Channels World Movement. I explained the Movement in a few words and mentioned a very easy way to participate. Just channel the Light and spread it around! Pass on the word to others to channel and spread the Light. Let more and more people join. Let more and more Light come down and spread around. The Light transforms the world. Brings Peace and Prosperity. Brings the New Age.

* I think, I shall explain more making the very simple Message a little more 'complex' so that more people take this more seriously ! Watch our website www.lightchannels.com.

* In my work, I come across very strange situations. I am used to this. I have been trained to counter the unusual and the impossible. I am never shocked, never surprised. May be, amused a bit. But, I am never discouraged.

* Many times, people request us to help their friend or relative. Remember that the Rishis always help. For the Rishis, there is no difference between a Meditator and a non-meditator. But if you really want to help your friend, ask him to take up Meditation. You will be doing much more than help. To help your friend's problem in isolation, it involves interfering with his Karmas. To get all the help, not just a solution for the specific problem, the individual has to begin meditating. That would be the real help.

* When people face problems, they do not understand what causes them. They think they are being judged and punished, which is not true. We attract effects of our own actions. That is the reality. Even at such times the Rishis help. They go out of the way to help people. Most of you are already aware of this.

* Let us understand negativity clearly. When a person gets angry, it is not a negative act. We have to get angry at any act of Adharma. But when we quarrel in anger, we develop hatred. Then the anger becomes negative. So, mere anger is not negative. What makes it negative is the intent. When a doctor performs surgery, he cuts with a knife and inflicts pain. But the intent is to help the patient. The same knife can be used to attack a person.

* Whenever I met my Guru, he would almost always talk about the ego. He said if we can remove the ego, our Sadhana is almost over. Over the years, I have realized how true it is. He said, "Ego is the one which is between us and God. If we remove the ego, we experience God." Ego comes not only between us and God, it comes between the Sadhak and the Guru and also between individuals. Ego is such a thing, it bloats itself and blinds us. I have seen the ego ruining people. It creates illusions. It makes us think we are at the top of the world spiritually while perhaps we are not even at the bottom. That is why demolishing the ego is the first step in Sadhana and I always help in this process. Sometimes I do it consciously and deliberately. It may hurt the individual in that moment but I am always trying to help.
