Eckhart Tolle ◦ The Simple Truth

Eckhart Tolle....The author of the book, "The power of Now" is being interviewed. He was one of the many people who influenced my thinking towards the so-called 'no-thinking'!!!

Ironically, I read this book immediately after reading the book, 'The Art of Dreaming', by Carlos Castanada, and I felt that I was pulled in all spiritual directions at the same time!!The experience was, hair-raising, to say the least!! When I came across this particular video, it answered a lot of my questions that were raised in my mind at that time, and were unanswered.

I wish you all the same experience...listen to him and get some answers!!!

Manzile Udaan.....

When I heard about the High Court Bomb Blast, my mind started whirling and I was gripped by various emotions like anger, grief, hurt, love for my nation, humanity, thoughts of Anna Hazare and his fasting, the ruthless politicians, terrorists, poverty.........Here is what I think about the whole situation.

 

सितारे आसमान में, सपने नींद में,
चुप है,
फुल काँटों में, चाँद बादलों में,
चुप है

सवाल ज़ेहेन में, शोर दिलो में,
चुप है,
अपनों के लिए, अपनों के आंसू,
चुप है

इंसांकी अदालत में, आज ईमान,
चुप है,
जुर्म के सामने, आज सच भी,
चुप है

बदलेकी आग में, इंसानियत,
चुप है,
मजहब की होली में, जलते जिस्म,
चुप है

दौलत की जंग में, खून के रिश्ते,
चुप है,
गरीब के, घर का चुल्हा,
चुप है

प्यास दिल में, भूख पेट में,
चुप है,
रोते हुए चेहेरे, कैसे भीड़ में,
चुप है

झोंपदि में रेह्ता, वो इनसान तो,
चुप है,
मेहेलो में कैद, वो इंसाफ भी,
चुप है

लाचारी के लिबास में, ज़िंदगी,
चुप है,
नाखुदाओ की मेहेफिल में, खुदा भी,
चुप है!!

Let us join our hands and pray for the well being of all!!!!!!
God Bless, Ami.

My experience with Switch Words

Sometimes, some things happen in your life that force you to believe in miracles.

Switch words came into my life like miracles, showing me miracles.

What are switch words?
A gentleman named James Mangan wrote a book called, “The Secret of Perfect Living” wherein he gave a list of about 100 words which worked miracles in the day-to-day life and named them "switchwords" since they worked like switches--shedding light on the problem area and solving them effectively.
Switch words are single affirmative words that works directly with the subconsciousness mind, bypassing the rational or the logical mind and giving the desired results. Repeating switch words for a particular task or goal gives fast results.

Out of the 100 such switchwords, one very popular switchword is, "REACH"--this switchword is used to find lost or misplaced items, or recall names or numbers or some forgotten information.

My experience with the switchword "REACH"

Being a Hindu, I usually wear gold ornaments during festivals. After one such occasion, I misplaced my gold earrings and panicked! I searched everywhere, but could not find them. I racked my brains, but drew a blank! After extensively searching them everywhere, I suddenly remembered about having read about switchwords and how they help in finding things. It was the last attempt. I searched the net and found that the switchword for finding lost items was, "REACH" I felt really ridiculous chanting it, but wanted to try anything that would get me my lost errings! I started chanting "REACH" repeatedly in my mind without much conviction. For one whole day, I repeated the word and waited for some sort of miracle, but nothing happened! That night, I went to bed with a heavy heart and laughed at myself for believing in silly things. Next day, I repeated the switchword unknowingly and went about my daily routine. To take away my mind from worries, I decided to clean my dressing table and started emptying the drawers. In one such drawer full of all makeup tubes and pencils, I saw a tiny plastic lock bag, which looked familiar, and Lo! and Behold! inside were my precious gold earrings!! I could not believe my luck and at the same time I realized that I was still chanting "REACH" in my mind! I laughed out and hugged myself with joy. I very sincerely thanked the switch word for helping me and also apologized for not having faith. Frankly, to this day, I have no idea how those earrings appeared inside the makeup drawer of the dressing table!!

After this incident, I took a printout of all the switchwords and now use them according to my needs, successfully.

"COUNT" is a switch word for money and "HOLE" is a switch word for attraction--want to try them?

Love,
"BE-TOGETHER-WITH-DIVINE ORDER"(A positive switch word string for wellness)

Osho Quotes on Freedom...........by Sujit Bannerjee

"Freedom" means freedom from the mind. Then you are simply in a silence, and in that silence you melt, you merge with the whole. And to melt and merge with the whole is to be holy. Not by fasting, not by torturing, but by becoming one with the whole, one becomes holy.

Your freedom is a supreme value. Nothing is higher than that. But your freedom is possible only if you are not encaged in your habits, unconscious patterns of living. Change your gestalt from unconsciousness to consciousness.

Never follow anybody else's idea -- that is very dangerous because you will become imitative. Always follow your own nature, self-nature; only then will you attain to freedom. It is better to die following one's nature than to live following somebody's else's nature, because that will be a pseudo life. To die following one's nature is beautiful, because that death too will be authentic.

When sex becomes conscious it is love, it is no longer lust. Love brings freedom, and lust simply creates prisons for you.

Create inner freedom through witnessing. Sannyas is only for the inner freedom. And live out of inner freedom.

There is no other revolution except consciousness. It cuts the desires from the very roots and it brings freedom to you.

The most fundamental message of Gautama the Buddha is not God, is not soul... it is freedom: freedom absolute, total, unconditional. He does not want to give you an ideology, because every ideology creates its own slavery.

Desire is our imprisonment. The man who wants nothing, who is absolutely contented as he is, is free of all bondage. He has attained to ultimate freedom, nirvana -- and that is the goal of life. And it is only by attaining that freedom that you will know the significance of being, the song of being, the celebration of being. Your life will become a continuous bliss, and not only that YOU will be blissful, you will be able to bless others too. The whole existence will be blessed by you, by your very presence.

Buddha says: Meditation brings two things. It brings wisdom, it brings freedom. These two flowers grow out of meditation. When you become silent, utterly silent, beyond the mind, two flowers bloom in you. One is of wisdom: you know what is and what is not. And the other is of freedom: you know now there are no more any limitations on you, either of time or of space. You become liberated. Meditation is the key to liberation, to freedom, to wisdom.

Become aware, awake. Then you will see that everything comes and goes, all things come and pass. Life is a flux. Your consciousness is the only thing that is immovable, that is eternal. To attain it is freedom. To attain it is the goal of life. If you miss it you have missed your life and you have missed a tremendously great gift, a great opportunity.

All meditations are nothing but efforts to bring you to the present. When you live in the present moment, with no past hanging around you, with no future projection, you are free from life and death, you are free from body and mind. You are free -- simply free -- you are freedom.

Buddha says the greatest joy in life is freedom: freedom from all prejudices, freedom from all scriptures, freedom from all concepts and ideologies, freedom from all desires, freedom from all possessiveness and jealousy, freedom from all hatred, anger, rage, lust... in short, freedom from everything, so that you are just a pure consciousness, unbounded, unlimited. That is the greatest joy, and it is possible -- it is within everybody's grasp. You just have to grope for it a little. The groping will be in the dark, but it is not far away. If you try, if you make an effort, you are bound to find it. It is your birthright.

Beware of dreams! And watch your dreams day in, day out, because they are continuously there. You can watch them, and by watching them you will become unidentified with them, you will become a mirror reflecting them. And this brings great freedom. Freedom from dreams is freedom from the world.

Remember, until you become a buddha you have wasted your life. Buddhahood is your flowering, your fragrance. A tree is fulfilled when it blooms, and a man is fulfilled when he releases the fragrance of buddhahood, when he becomes luminous; then he comes to know who he is. In knowing that, all is known. In knowing that, God is known. In knowing that, truth is achieved -- you become the truth, and truth liberates. Truth is freedom.

The man who is asleep reacts; he knows nothing of action. And reaction is a binding: it binds you into new prisons, new chains. Response is out of freedom, hence it brings more freedom. Reaction is out of the past; you act according to your memories, built-in by your experiences, conditionings. You react not to the present, not in the present. You don't reflect the real situation as it is; you go on interpreting it according to your past, your past experiences. The man who is awake is like a mirror: he reflects that which is the case. HE IS AWAKE.

Hell means nothing but misery; it is a psychological state of misery, a state of negativity, a state of darkness, of utter loneliness. And heaven is joy, happiness, health, light. But there is a third word, moksha. Moksha means freedom, freedom from both heaven and hell, freedom from pain and pleasure -- because pain binds you as much as pleasure binds you. Pain may be an ugly chain and pleasure may be a beautiful chain, decorated, maybe made of gold, but it chains you. Hell may be a poor place and heaven may be a very rich place but poverty and riches are two aspects of the same coin. One has to be free of both.

Happy Independence Day India :-)

Spirituality and Gandhi.........to Anna Hazare-A full circle!!

It is a well known fact that Mahatma Gandhi resorted to Rama Naam Japa before tackling an issue. Whenever he was backed up into a corner, or was faced with a difficult situation, he would retreat to his Ashram's riverside and meditate on the flowing river Sabarmati. Maa sabarmati has found solutions for him by being present with him in his inner turmoil.She has been the silent witness to this great thinker's dilemmas.With her presence in Spirit and Rama naam, he has come upon revolutionary and unique solutions to complex and almost impossible problems.

Any struggle for truth cannot be overcome without a solid backbone of spirituality to lend it an authentic voice to it.Any great leader of his time, has invariably taken the inner support of spirituality in his own way. It is the true pathfinder and the force behind any revolution for the TRUTH. Sri sri Maa Anandmayi once gave a scintillating guidance to Mrs. Indira Gandhi,former Prime Minister, India, " Be with the TRUTH. Let it be your true guide."

Anna Hazare has said, "The time for second freedom struggle has begun...Time has come, my countrymen, when there should be no place left in jails in India" Is this enough to shake us out of our complacency?

May all my countrymen awaken to their true Budhha nature, and be the Light Beings of Mother Bharati!!!!

God Bless, NAMASTE!!!!!!
