Akashic Record

Many among us write about our day to day activities in our diaries, most of us don’t. But the truth is each and everyone of us write our diary and that too with objectivity – even the fleeting thoughts are recorded. Every thought, every activity, every word are recorded by us and ChitraGupta is just a keeper of those records. This happens in ‘higher levels.’

Not only this, we are born with a plan - we have a purpose to fulfill in each life. But after birth we gradually forget and later 'pretend sleep' about the purpose, at least most of us, because that is the easiest thing to do.

And I think, a compilation of our life purpose and what we do on earth is known as Akashic Record in the esoteric circles. This record is not about a single life.

In the physical realm we put up a show. We foolishly think that no one is aware of what is going on within us, however malicious that might be. 

But the instance we take our eyes off the physical realm, we ourselves record everything very very  honestly.So in a way we keep a tab on ourselves. We spread our lifelong fare before the Supreme Being to be seen or 'judged.'

Love Oneself

 "You have to love yourself because no amount of love from others is sufficient to fill the yearning that your soul requires from you."             
- Dodinsky.  

Everywhere we can see posters, slogans, festivities etc. etc. waxing eloquently about love. But if you ask people about it we'll get a myriad of reactions and replies, which is very far from what it really is.

Actually what is love? .......................... Well, God is love. Most of us agree to this. So we,  being the creation of God, are love too. How many of us have truly realized this. True love starts with us or more correctly within us. If we don't accept the love that we are, how can we love another. Only a person who loves himself can truly love another. We cannot give away what we don't have.

The reason why i had to write what i wrote may appear silly to many. Most of the days i update status on my Facebook account and a few people take out their valuable time to read and like it. But whenever i share a status update on loving oneself, all of them shy away. Pretend they didn't see it. This is what happens in our day to day life. We just pretend - we close our eyes on the truth.

We are the World

God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease. - --   -Bernie Siegel

'Sarvam Maya' - Everything is maya. Maya is the sanskrit word for illusion. Here illusion points towards the transient nature of human life.

Our life on earth is an illusion. What we think is real, is actually maya - a world created by our mental, emotional and physical states. We are, in fact, controlled by these illusory and mortal states which keep us tethered to a world of confusion. Confusion can only produce discord and desperation and finally delusion. All the misery we see around us is a manifestation of our delusions.

As humans we completely forget about our real and immortal self - the soul. We are born here to learn a lesson that could raise us to higher levels of spirituality. But as humans,  we conveniently forget about our duality and cling to the part that is not real. We forget about our immortal self and cling to our mortal state.

If we consider the journey of our soul as a book, each life can be equated to a word or sentence, but unfortunately most of us are not even able to complete an alphabet.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

GURU, How i met my Guru

'When the student is ready, the teacher will come,' this is applicable to every spiritual aspirant. But many a time we think we are ready and no teacher is out there for us. And we grow impatient. I had gone through this phase. Now i realise - when i thought i was ready, i wasn't really ready. I had to go through many many learning experiences that seasoned and matured me to intuitively accept my teacher, when he presented himself before me, posthumously though. Yes, i 'met' my teacher after he left his life on earth.

When i landed in Hyderabad, ten years ago, i had totally forgotten all about my search for a teacher. I was so embroiled in the mundane, and nothing beyond it attracted me. Six years passed. One day one of my acquaintances here called me up and asked me to attend a workshop on Pranic Healing. That was the first time i heard about it - Pranic Healing. I was not very keen about it, even though i promised attendance. And forgot about it totally. One evening the same person called me and asked why i was not there at the venue. That was when i remembered my promise. That person was so insistent that i attend the workshop and reminded me that the venue was just 150 metres from my house.So very reluctantly i attended the workshop..................... and that was the end of my search for a teacher.That was where i heard the name of my teacher for the first time - Grand Master Choa Kok Sui.

Guru's grace is a must to fulfill one's life-plan    - Sadhguru


Note: Afterwards, the acquaintance ended all contacts with me. Maybe that person's duty was only that - to connect me to my teacher. I am grateful to that person.

Reincarnation

Why do we reincarnate? This one question has puzzled many, and continues to. Once i too spent a lot of time over this. Read many books. Listened to many experienced people. And this is what i arrived at: A lifetime is to learn a lesson, a lesson which will bring one a  step closer to the Supreme Being. The whole life is planned before one is born, for that purpose.

We choose our parents, a few of our soul group are reincarnated along with us as our friends and relatives who are special to us. And enemies too. Hatred is as strong as love. Our worst enemies are reincarnated as our off-springs.Thus our hate is turned into love and we are made to serve them as responsible parents. What an idea, Sirji!

Though everything is pre-planned, we humans are not born as programmed robots. We forget everything after birth. Why? B'coz the Supreme Being has given us freewill. We are given the freedom to live our life on earth.

Now what do we humans do? Many a time we wander away from our truth, our life purpose. We just indulge ourselves in worldly pleasures. No! i am not saying that we must not enjoy the earthly joys. We can - in moderation. When we indulge in something we forget ourselves. When we forget ourselves, we get lost. We may get carried away like a log in the flood. We are not in control, some external force is carrying us, the end of which the carrier and the carried are unaware of. Both have no goals, then where is the Salvation? Forget Salvation, what about our life- purpose, of that particular lifetime? So the most important thing is awareness, Self-awareness.

When we become aware we start realizing that there is a purpose for life. This leads to self- discipline. And the practice of  Self- Awareness and Self -Discipline eventually leads to your Life-Purpose and a step closer to Salvation. So each purposeful life is a step towards Salvation or Moksha.

What happens if we have an epicurean mentality? The Supreme Being won't punish you. God is the epitome of infinite patience and mercy. God will wait patiently and lovingly for us, to come to our senses and get back on track Until we learn that particular lesson, we will be reborn into similar situations or similar lifetimes again and again and again................. How many of you would like to be in the same grade for ever?

Note: Life is a gift from God, for our redemption.

A Friend

A Friend

I’m my best friend,

Consciously and unconsciously.

I am in company, always.

And never alone.

My other friends are

My reflections,

My extensions,

Myself,

I see me in them

I am a part of each one of them

And they are a part of me

And we are a part of a Whole.

A friend to me is

Not a face

Not a body

A friend has no gender

I look at a friend

And see only a friend.

A friend to me has

The same color

The same faith

And the same status.

There might be segregations galore, but

I look at a friend

And see only a friend.

We are there in each other

When will we realize this?

We are here to grow together

When will we understand this?

We are here for a purpose 
When will we realize this?

We are here to evolve

When will we discern this?

I look at a friend

And see only a friend,
Myself.

Self-Healing

 Healing at your finger tips 

It started as a dull pain in my lower back. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It started building up. First I thought it was my bad posture that caused it. Then I started correcting my posture. Still the pain persisted. Now what? What about yoga…  I started doing some yoga postures, which gave good results in the past. But this time, NO. Days turned to weeks. Another doubt crept into my mind – am I suffering from UTI ?? I watched out for the other symptoms associated with UTI.  Nothing at all. You must be wondering why I am not visiting a medical practitioner, to get diagnosed. The reason is simple. I don’t like to.

I was still  pondering and analyzing about the cause. Meanwhile, the pain grew impatient, it was waiting to be suppressed, but nothing like that happened. Being left unguarded it shifted to my hips.  My analysis followed the pain. The pain seemed to love the freedom. It started moving down my right leg. Maybe the pain thought it was doing the right thing. Days passed.

Since I was cold shouldering the pain from day one, it too thought of turning cold. Tit for tat! My whole right leg became numb. I could still walk around. But any activity that involved raising my feet, for example climbing staircase, was faced with some resistance. I could raise my feet but not enough to clear a step.

Now, I don’t remember how many days I walked around in that condition. Then one night, suddenly I had this urge to visit the Pranic Healing Foundation. Next morning I took a cab to the Foundation. It was one of those days in the Foundation, when Arhatic yogis gathered to do intensive meditation. Being an Arhatic yogi myself, I joined them. The whole day was spent in meditations. In the evening when it was over and everyone was leaving, I stopped by the person who was guiding us throughout the day. She was a senior disciple of Grand Master Choa KoK Sui (the founder of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga and my Guru). I always felt very close to her, not only me, all the others who have visited the Foundation and interacted with her felt the same. I told her about the problem I was facing. After hearing me she asked me to visit a doctor. I didn’t move a muscle, just waited for her to speak up. She must have sensed what was going through my mind. So she did the Pranic healing protocol of Scanning. Then she explained to me the protocol I should follow in self- healing. I was a Pranic Healer, who had been reluctant to heal self.  But this time I made up my mind.

Next day I sat down to heal myself. My right leg was still numb. I started healing. I used the Advanced Pranic Healing method. I completed the healing protocol and stood up. You won’t believe, my right leg was alright. The leg was normal.

Its more than an year now. It is nothing less than a miracle. The miracle of Pranic Healing. Thank you Master Choa Kok Sui. Thank you in full faith.

Note: No oral medications or external applications were used in the process.
