Life is utterly simple and complex at the same time.
Sometimes everything is so smooth. You are on the top of the world...everything seems to be going according to your wishes....you are full of joy !!!
However a monotony sets in if there is no change.....no challenge......life simply seems boring if we are not made to brave tough situations......
What do u feel?Am i right?......just look back at your own life.....glance through all the so called seemingly tough situations, ...all of them have provided you with deep insights about life and about yourself.....they hold such valuable lessons.......
Of course, i know we all have heard and read about these .....but what matters if we can feel and experience these....that's when we gain true knowledge....which books can't provide us with.....books should only serve to guide us and make us introspect......
Close the books for a change atleast for some time and become open to the book of your own life....you will find its more exciting and thrilling than any bestselling novel............
Then only we can realise our purpose for coming into this world.......
okay.........i'm bragging like a sophist..........so i'll just now give rest to my brain and hands......
Byeeeee
JAI GURUDEV............
lots of good wishes

Real Seva
Sometimes I wonder are we all really into Seva?
What do we mean by seva?
What are our motives when we do Seva?
Is it unconditional love and devotion or something else?
hmm.....well nothing to worry....just some questions which came across my awareness and i put them into writing!!!!
However i feel at certain moments in our life we do need to answer these questions so that we know we are sincerely on the path......
My best wishes to all of you in all your SEVA activities........

Feelings, emotions.....hmmmmm. So blissful and yet so terrible!!!
They can raise you up to the sky and the very next moment they can push you into abyss.Falling in love is that fall which all and sundry long to experience......it makes you feel on top of the world!!! You feel as if your life has found that perfection which it had been seeking since infinity. You don't desire anything else. You are free from all cravings and aversions. There comes such freshness, such joy which never seems to leave you. The intoxication surpasses all other known sources of happiness.
Only one thought encapsulates your whole being. You only think of your BELOVED. You wish to know everything about them : where they go, what they are doing right now and so on. No matter whatever you do for your beloved, it just seems insufficient!!. You yearn to do more and more for them...even a single moment without them seems just unbearable...and with them you transcend time...
Unfortunately, all this goody-goody stuff doesn't last long. Slowly demands start arising. Even a trivial gesture of negligence causes so much hurt...you become so vulnerable. Their not looking at you, not smiling ..makes you so much miserable...all distortions then come into the picture. And lo....if suppose your beloved breaks your heart.....then that is the most horrifying pain on earth....the person whom you loved the most, now you don't even want to see them and that makes you more worse...that earlier tenderness is now replaced by stiffness.
But, this heart break may become a pivotal point in your life.....from transient and conditional love it can move you to such ultimate form of love that is free of all negativities....free of dependence on outer gestures!!! and even the person!!!
I'll talk about that later. Till then goodbye....enjoy the variegated festival of HOLI!!
HAPPY HOLI....
JAI GURUDEV!!!
lots of love......
