Just as societies and religions around the world create incredible mythologies, we create our own. Our personal mythology is populated by heroes and villains, angels and demons, kings and commoners. We create an entire population in our mind, including multiple personalities for ourselves.
Then we master the image we are going to use in certain circumstances. We become artists of pretending and projecting our images, and we master whatever we believe we are.
When we meet other people, we classify them right away and assign them a role in our lives. We create an image for others, according to what we believe they are. And we do the same thing with everyone and everything around us.
You have the power to create. Your power is so strong that whatever you believe comes true. You create yourself, whatever you believe you are. You are the way you are because that is what you believe about yourself.
Your whole reality, everything you believe, is your creation. You have the same power as any other human in the world. The main difference between you and someone else is how you apply your power, what you create with your power.
You may be similar to others in many ways, but no one in the whole world lives her life the way you do. You have practiced all of your life to be what you are, and you do it so well that you master what you believe you are.
You master your own personality, your own beliefs; you master every action, every reaction. You practice for years and years, and you achieve the level of mastery to be what you believe you are.
Once we can see that all of us are masters, we can see what kind of mastery we have.

Imagine how much the universe must have loved
this thing to make it happen.
Imagine how many stars gave up their hearts
to bring this into fluid motion.
Does it make you curious?
Make you wonder what could be so marvellous?
That idea . . . it was you.
You are the universe’s fairytale come true.

The problem with defining awakening is that upon hearing each of these descriptions, the mind creates another image, another idea of what this ultimate truth or ultimate reality is all about. As soon as these images are created, our perception is distorted once again.
In this way, it's really impossible to describe the nature of reality, except to say that it's not what we think it is, and it's not what we've been taught it is.
In truth, we are not capable of imagining what it is that we are. Our nature is literally beyond all imagination.
What we are is that which is watching—that consciousness which is watching us pretending to be a separate person. Our true nature is continually partaking of all experience, awake to every instant, to each and every moment.

Money is a symbol representing energy. Your money is a reflection of the energy moving through your channel.
The better you learn to operate in the world based on trust in your intuition, the stronger your channel will be and the more likely you are to have enough money for the things you truly need and desire. The money in your life is based on your ability to listen to your inner guidance and risk acting on it. It flows in an easy, effortless, and joyful way because there is no sacrifice involved.
You’re no longer attached to it. Instead, you can experience the joy of learning how to follow the energy of the universe. Money is just an extra bonus in the process.

Feelings are often born from a matrix of conditions beyond your control. Just like you can’t control the weather, or your boss’s mood, you can’t control the feelings in your body. They are just passing through, like clouds in the sky. They, too, dissipate on their own.
But if you take them too seriously and start internalizing them as part of your identity, then you will resuscitate them every time you think about the past. Remember that you are neither your feelings nor the story your mind tells about you to make sense of them. You are the vast silence that knows of their emergence and their disappearance.

Mahatma Gandhi
"There is an indefinable mysterious Power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen Power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses. But it is possible to reason out the existence of God to a limited extent.
I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever-dying, there is underlying all that change a Living Power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves, and re-creates. That informing Power or Spirit is God. And since nothing else I see merely through the senses can or will persist, He alone is.
And is this Power benevolent or malevolent? I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see, that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists. Hence I gather that God is Life, Truth, Light. He is Love. He is the Supreme Good."

I will tell you a little story. You have heard the eloquent speaker who has just finished say, "Let us cease from abusing each other," and he was very sorry that there should be always so much variance.
But I think I should tell you a story which would illustrate the cause of this variance. A frog lived in a well. It had lived there for a long time. It was born there and brought up there, and yet was a little, small frog. Of course the evolutionists were not there then to tell us whether the frog lost its eyes or not,
but, for our story's sake, we must take it for granted that it had its eyes, and that it every day cleansed the water of all the worms and bacilli that lived in it with an energy that would do credit to our modern bacteriologists. In this way it went on and became a little sleek and fat. Well, one day another frog that lived in the sea came and fell into the well.
"Where are you from?"
"I am from the sea."
"Where are you from?"
"I am from the sea."
"The sea! How big is that? Is it as big as my well?" and he took a leap from one
side of the well to the other.
"My friend," said the frog of the sea, "how do you compare the sea with your
little well?”
Then the frog took another leap and asked, "Is your sea so big?"
"What nonsense you speak, to compare the sea with your well!"
"Well, then," said the frog of the well, "nothing can be bigger than my well;
there can be nothing bigger than this; this fellow is a liar, so turn him out."That has been the difficulty all the while.
I am a Hindu. I am sitting in my own little well and thinking that the whole world is my little well. The Christian sits in his little well and thinks the whole world is his well. The Mohammedan sits in his little well and thinks that is the whole world. I have to thank you of America for the great attempt you are
making to break down the barriers of this little world of ours, and hope that, in the future, the Lord will help you to accomplish your purpose.

Often the mind is compared to a lake. If its surface is absolutely smooth, without a ripple, we can see clearly what lies beneath. Similarly, when the mind becomes calm and the wind of uncontrolled desire no longer creates ripples on its surface, then our true nature is reflected perfectly, and we obtain a clear understanding of our reality and our relationship with the Supreme Intelligence.
As long as the mind remains agitated, our vision will always be distorted. We cannot rely on others to provide us with knowledge and happiness; these can only arise from within.

Q. What should I do if an old painful memory arises during meditation?
A. Old memories, hurts, fears, angers, resentments, etc., can arise in meditation. Simply allow them to arise without resisting, analyzing, judging, or denying them. Just watch them without getting involved. See that they do not define who you are. They are pockets of unconsciousness arising to be purified in the light of awareness and released from your system. Allow the light of being to set suffering free.

Jiddu Krishnamurti's "What Are You Doing with Your Life?" is a thought-provoking lecture that encourages individuals to examine their lives, relationships, and pursuits. Krishnamurti poses fundamental questions to prompt self-reflection, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, freedom from conditioning, and living in the present moment.
He challenges readers to reevaluate priorities and values, highlighting the limitations of seeking fulfillment through external sources. By questioning societal norms and expectations, Krishnamurti encourages individuals to think critically about their own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Krishnamurti's core questions - "What are you doing with your life?", "Are you living or merely existing?", and "Are you free to think?" - resonate deeply, encouraging introspection and mindfulness. His words invite readers to explore their own potential, unencumbered by the constraints of tradition and conditioning.
While his tone may be confrontational and his rejection of traditional values radical, Krishnamurti's words offer a valuable opportunity for growth. This lecture is ideal for those seeking spiritual growth, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of themselves and society.

Love Hurts
There is an old story of a man who was going about his business one day, walking in the woods. All of a sudden, he found himself right in the path of a ferocious tiger. He turned and ran as fast as he could. Just as the tiger was closing in on him, he came across a cliff and spotted a vine dangling from the earth.
He grabbed the vine and slung himself over the cliff. Luckily, the vine held, and he was safe for the moment. He glanced down to see if he could lower himself onto the ground anywhere. Unfortunately, down below him lay not safety but another tiger, with her eyes fixed upon him.
He looked back up to see if the other tiger had left and if he could climb back up. The first tiger was still there. Worse, a small mouse was on the cliff, nibbling away at the vine he was holding onto. As the immensity of the situation dawned on him, he saw something shiny and red out of the corner of his eye.
It was a strawberry, right within his reach. He plucked it with his free hand and tasted it. It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten. And that is how the story ends.
Sometimes, when we are plagued by heartbreak, we forget to appreciate the simple things in our life. If you feel like you are trapped between two tigers—that of a serious illness and a serious breakup, for example—I invite you to contemplate if there is a strawberry you can reach out for and enjoy.

When body and mind grow weak, the Self gathers in all the powers of life and descends with them into the heart. As prana leaves the eye, it ceases to see. “He is becoming one,” say the wise; “he does not see. He is becoming one; he no longer hears. He is becoming one; he no longer speaks, or tastes, or smells, or thinks, or knows.” By the light of the heart the Self leaves the body by one of its gates; and when he leaves, prana follows, and with it all the vital powers of the body. He who is dying merges in consciousness, and thus consciousness accompanies him when he departs, along with the impressions of all that he has done, experienced, and known.
As a caterpillar, having come to the end of one blade of grass, draws itself together and reaches out for the next, so the Self, having come to the end of one life and dispelled all ignorance, gathers in his faculties and reaches out from the old body to a new.
"The Zen Teachings of Bodhidharma" by Red Pine is a seminal work offering a comprehensive exploration of Bodhidharma's teachings. This clear and concise translation provides valuable insights into Zen Buddhism's development, emphasizing direct experience, non-attachment, and the mind's primacy. Essential for Zen practitioners, Eastern philosophy students, and Bodhidharma enthusiasts.

Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life – perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody. That is the beauty of it. It has no technique and therefore no authority. When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy – if you are aware of all that in yourself, without any choice, that is part of meditation.
So meditation can take place when you are sitting in a bus or walking in the woods full of light and shadows, or listening to the singing of birds or looking at the face of your wife or child.

A generation that is so educated will be free from the psychological inheritance of their parents and of the society in which they are born; and because they are so educated, they will not depend on the inheritance of property. This factor of inheritance destroys independence and limits intelligence, for it breeds a false sense of security, giving a self-assurance which has no basis. This false sense of security is the darkness of the mind in which nothing can flourish. A generation which has been educated totally differently, about which we have been talking, will create a new society. For, it will have the capacity born of intelligence, that intelligence which is not hedged about with fear.

Thich Nhat Hanh
When the Buddha attained enlightenment at the foot of the Bodhi tree, he was a human being, and after his enlightenment, he was still a human being, with all the suffering and afflictions that having a human body entails. The Buddha was not made of stone. He experienced feelings and emotions, pain, cold, hunger, and fatigue, just like all of us. We shouldn’t think that because we experience the suffering and afflictions of being human, we cannot touch peace, we cannot touch nirvana. Even after his enlightenment, the Buddha experienced suffering. From his teachings and stories about his life, we know that he suffered. But the key point is that he knew how to suffer. His awakening came from suffering: he knew how to make good use of his afflictions in order to experience awakening. And because of this, he suffered much less than most of us.

A long time ago,
there was only one mind,
which became bored by being alone for so long.
So it decided to split into two.
But since the two knew they were originally one,
playing together was not much fun—
as if playing both sides of a chess game.
So the two minds agreed to forget where they came from;
they pretended not to know each other.
As time passed, they also forgot about their agreement.
They forgot they were actually one and the same.
This is the condition of our existence.
We forget that we are originally from one mind.

Svetasvatara Upanishad
Know God, and all fetters will be loosed. Ignorance will vanish. Birth, death, and rebirth will be no more.
Meditate upon him and transcend physical consciousness. Thus will you reach union with the lord of the universe. Thus will you become identified with him who is One without a second.
In him, all your desires will find fulfillment.
The truth is that you are always united with the Lord. But you must know this. Nothing further is there to know.
Meditate, and you will realize that mind, matter, and Maya are but three aspects of Brahman.
Fire, though present in the firesticks, is not perceived until one stick is rubbed against another. The Self is like that fire: it is realized in the body by meditation on the sacred syllable OM. 🕉
Let your body be the stick that is rubbed, the sacred syllable OM 🕉 the stick that is rubbed against it. Thus shall you realize God, who is hidden within the body as fire is hidden within the wood.
Like oil in sesame seeds, butter in cream, water in the river bed, fire in tinder, the Self dwells within the soul.
Realize him through truthfulness and meditation.

"The Road Less Traveled," written by M. Scott Peck in 1978, is a self-help classic.
The book explores spiritual growth, self-awareness, and personal responsibility. The book emphasizes discipline as essential for growth, viewing problems as opportunities for self-improvement, and redefines love as an act of will. Peck also discusses embracing legitimate suffering, rather than avoiding it through neurosis.
A timeless guide for personal development, "The Road Less Traveled" has had a profound impact, selling over 10 million copies, becoming a New York Times bestseller, and translating into 20 languages, influencing contemporary self-help literature and continuing to resonate with seekers of spiritual growth and self-awareness.

If you don’t cry, if tears don’t come to your eyes for others, and if you don’t come back to the world to help people who are stumbling, then somehow your meditation is still not religious. It has helped you; you may be feeling very, very good, but unless it becomes compassion and you overflow in all directions, the tree has come to a stopping point, it has not yet flowered. The tree is green, healthy, perfectly beautiful looking, but a tree without flowers is not fulfilled.
A tree without flowers may look beautiful, but there is yet a perfection to be attained. The tree must bloom; the tree must release the fragrance to the winds so it can be carried to the very ends of existence.

📰The recent tragic incident in Pune, where an employee of a multinational company lost her life due to excessive work pressure, serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to prioritize mental health in our workplaces.
This heartbreaking event highlights the devastating consequences of neglecting employee well-being and the importance of creating a supportive work environment. The pressures of modern work life can be overwhelming, and it's crucial that we recognize the signs of distress and take proactive measures to prevent such tragedies.
What are your thoughts on this critical issue? How can we work together to create a more compassionate and supportive work environment?

We are now witnessing a coming together of science, psychology, and spirituality after centuries of ideological and disciplinary fragmentation. Both modern physics and depth psychology are revealing to us a universe in which . . . all that we can perceive around us is connected by resonances, both physical and nonphysical, that can make the possibility of universal justice, truth and love more than just a utopian fantasy.
At the heart of this possibility lie what in the Western secular world are called “non-ordinary” states of consciousness, but in the world’s great religious traditions is variously called primary religious feeling, mystical oneness, connection with the ground of being, or universal love. . . . At the heart of these states of consciousness or being is a potential extension of the self beyond its usual boundaries.

When we are most unhappy, we have a starved feeling in some way. We feel that life in general and other people in particular are not giving us what we need. We try desperately to grasp the love and satisfaction that we crave from the outside. Yet we are actually choking off the supply.
The new world is based on trust of the universe within us. We recognize that the creative intelligence and energy of the universe is the fundamental source of everything. Once we connect with this and surrender to it, everything is ours. Emptiness is filled from the inside.
I am being filled from the source within me.

Most of the differences between men and women are due to thousands of years of conditioning and are not fundamental to nature. However, there are a few differences that give them unique beauty and individuality.
One key difference is that women are capable of producing life, while men are not. This has led to an inferiority complex in men, causing them to dominate women and suppress their talents and capacities.
For nine months or more during pregnancy, women are vulnerable and dependent on men, who have exploited this in an ugly way. Men have also corrupted women's psychology by making them believe false things, enslaving them, and reducing them to secondary citizens.
Despite the invented differences, there are real differences between men and women. One significant difference is that women are more capable of love than men. Men's love is often driven by physical necessity, while women's love is a spiritual experience.
