Starting a new series.. from the eyes of the modern day Bhagiraths...





Bhagirath is the one who brought the holy river Ganga to the earth. It is a famous story. As per the Ramayana, to liberate his ancestors, he performed penance to bring the holy river Ganga to Bhuloka. And with the guidance of Brahma and help from Shiva, he finally did it. The Ganga is a symbol of water resource. That water, which not only quenches the thirst of all creatures but, is the basis of creation. 

Looking at the present day scenario of water depletion from the ground and surface, we need some Bhagirath again. Fortunately, with the grace and guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji, there is a team of Bhagiraths who are actively working to bring back the lost waters of India, reviving rivers and bringing back life on this planet. 

In this series, I aim to introduce such modern day Bhagirathas) who are tirelessly working just for the sake of water. Watch out this space for interesting stories coming up in a couple of days. One at a time. The individuals who have committed their lives for this cause and whose passion when integrated with the enthusiastic support from the villagers is changing the scene of water scarce India.

Hari no Marag che shura no, nahi Kayar nu kaam jo - the path of Divinity is for the Brave...

Ever since I was a little kid, I have heard this Gujarati Proverb - Hari no Marag Che Shurano, Nahi Kayar Nu Kam jo...translation can match somewhere near to, "The Path of Divinity is for the brave, Cowards can not walk on it."

Although I understood the meaning of this sentence very well, somehow I was unable to get the gist of it, the essence of it coz it was not in my experience. Now when I look back and see, how my life has experienced this one sentence in all its essence in the last few years, I can not thank the divinity enough.




When you start walking on the path of Yoga, the path of divinity, the path of Love, all of a sudden you realise, there are obstacles. You feel, arrrre... where do they come from? It was never there in my life before! I started practicing Sudarshan Kriya and Sri Sri Yoga that I had learnt and in 7 months, I got severe cold and sinus issues which I did not have before. I thought, why am I having so many obstacles which were not there so far? But it was there only for 6 months or so, afterwards, it was all gone and none of the common ailments of headache, cold, fever, sinus returned ever since. I was wondering, what is it? The best example to explain this phenomenon can be the following.

'There is a bucket of water with mud settled at the bottom. The water will look very clean coz all the mud is settled in the bottom. However, the water is not clean. It is full of mud. When you want to get that mud out, you churn the water to filter it, all of a sudden you realise that the water is muddy. You feel, where is this mud coming from? My water was looking so clean! It is the mud within water only, which was not visible to your eyes coz it was all settled at the base of the bucket. But once you remove it, the turbulent muddy water again becomes crystal clear. This time it does not have any mud at the base and hence, no possibility of it becoming muddy until you pour some mud from outside.' 

The same way, you might feel your life is all so going very well and you are completely healthy and happy. There might be some mud at the base, some stresses in your system which you might not have recognized so far, which might be coming to surface occasionally which you would not have realised. It is getting collected to reveal itself later on as some chronic illness, sudden acute condition of chronically accumulated stresses. The moment you start doing your practices, it churns your system. You feel some ailments, some discomforts, some mood swings, may be weird stuff with your body and mind. But, if you can pass through them all being firm with your practices, then you have lived the life of that of the Shura in Hari no marag che shurano...  It is the time when you hold onto your practices, your faith on the practices, your Guru, your Self. Be consistent and keep on doing your practices. One fine day, when the backlog of stresses will be cleared from your system, you will start feeling the clarity of the water, the clarity in your being. Your practices of Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Kriya is what is your saviour. 

Many a times when you sit for meditation, especially in your initial days of learning it, you find all the thoughts of the world coming to you. It is because we have never practiced keeping our eyes closed and just letting go with awareness. It is also because the file, which is storing impressions, is too big in our system. So, the moment you are doing something to clear it, it will all come up on the surface. At that time, do not give up. Hold on to your practices. Smile through all the obstacles that life offers to you and know that at the end, it is all going to be your GAME. Once, the backlog is cleared, you will see clarity. It might take a day, a week, a month, a year or may be a few of years for your backlog to get cleaned. Just keep on practicing your meditations and keep on walking on the path of divinity. One fine day, you will realise that thoughts do not bother you at all. Nothing whatsoever can shake you at all. You are in the world but yet, so untouched by all its colours. 

For this to happen, you need to be brave. Brave enough to keep on holding onto your practices. Knowledge will make you rich but the knowledge (at the level of experience) can only get established in your system through practices. 

I wish you all the best for your journey. May you achieve the highest. 

Jai Guru Dev !

Are you a seeker on the path of Yoga?



As a seeker, as a sadhak, this question has arose in my mind many a times. Who is a true yogi? Is he the one whose mind is in the present moment or the one who is centered and eqanimous in all conditions or the one who is skillful in every action! Or is someone who experiences all these states of mind at different times but can not stick to any one for a long time?

One of the definitions of Yoga that I learnt is, Yogaha Karmashu Kaushalam - skill in action is Yoga. Have my practices helped me being more skillful? Has it helped me being a better human being? Has it helped me cope up with my day to day challenges of life without getting swayed? If it has made me even one percent better in all of these, then I would say yes, I am on the path of yoga. I am a seeker. Being skillful does not mean you need to drag someone down. Being skillful means you do not let your inner being get affected with whatever events are being created outside. Events come and go. They are in future and they become past. They do not stay forever. Do you give it a chance to stay forever in your mind? If yes, then you need to give more quality time to your practices so that you can change this harmful tendency of your mind. When the event is happening in the present moment, do you just go through it with your 100%? If yes, then you are skillful. If you just BE in that moment, respond to the need of that moment, then your job is done. Do you have the ability to let go of the events and any associated harmful emotions/thoughts from your mind once they are finished? if yes, then you are a seeker on the path of yoga, you are skillful. You do not have to be skillful overnight. But do you see improvement in your abilities to deal with people in your day to day life? Do you see improvement in your perception, observation and expression in the world around you? If yes, then you are on the path of yoga. You are on the right track. 

Listening to the wisdom, reading Knowledge helps a lot. However, if it stays only at the level of the intellect then it can be dangerous. The only way to get established in the Wisdom, in the Knowledge is through practices. You need to follow your sadhana, your practices regularly, every single day. 

What does your practices (sadhana) involve? Make a note for yourself. Remember, you need to give a quality time for your sadhana. Coz, result is always proportional to the quality time you spent with yourself.



For me, my sadhana involves 
A prayer of Thankfulness to the tradition of all the great Masters,
A bhajan which invokes the path of divine love - bhakti: Bhakti Yoga, 
Physical postural practice of Yoga - Hatha Yoga,
Sudarshan Kriya - Kriya Yoga,
Sahaj Samadhi Meditation - Dhyana Yoga.
Not to forget Karma Yoga - the path of selfless action; and Gyan Yoga - the path of Wisdom (Knowledge); which is an ongoing act throughout the week. 

The Art of Living Yoga that I practice has all the different types of yoga, i.e. Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga, Dhyan Yoga, Gnyan Yoga, Hatha Yoga. And therefore, to me, it is a full practice. I thank Art of Living Yoga practices for awakening the sincere seeker within me.

YOGA - How you see it?

I think after working for an authentic Yoga Studio for more than 6 months now, which offers all kinds of Yoga starting from Hatha and Power to Sri Sri Yoga; I have now started understanding the mind set of the people coming here.

I have mainly come across two types of people here.

One, who really understands what is Yoga. As Yogasara Upanishad says, 'that which brings your mind in the present moment is Yoga', any physical yoga asana practice should lead you to a deeper level of your existence. It should be able to leave you with enormous joy and peace, since it brings your mind in the present moment. This present moment is the source of energy, enthusiasm, love, peace, bliss, contentment, life. Physical fitness, flexibility in the body, stress-free mind, relaxed yet focused mind are all by-products of continuing with your practices. Yoga postures is only one path of yoga and it is just the beginning. A deep and rejuvenating meditation (where your mind is in the present moment - you are fathoming that depth of the present moment) is the end.

Another type, come to the Yoga Studio, do not understand what Yoga is. They are just driven by either the fashion world where their friends are also doing yoga, or they are fed up with tiring and strenuous Gym exercises and they want something mild. Although they struggle to cope up with a simplest of yoga pose like a boat pose, they want something "challenging". This amuses me a lot.

As a Sri Sri Yoga practitioner, what I would like to share with you guys is, beware of the tendency of your mind when you are going to do any Yoga practices in a studio. Your mind might compare it with a gym exercise. You need to remind yourself again and again what is your goal? Why do you want to do yoga? If you are not sure about it, please consult a yoga practitioner and get to know it first. Once you know your goal then make Yoga your daily routine. Once learnt properly, under the guidance of certified instructors - who are regular practitioners - it can be done easily at home. It will leave you with a freshness in your body-mind complex.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Doubt, within a limit, is a sign of intelligence. Beyond a limit, it is a disease. If you have self-doubt, then you can’t do anything. Doubt can clog your intellect like a disease. Also, if you keep on doubting everybody around you, you can’t do business. Business depends on trust. Administration depends on trust. See, if you have a collection in a hotel of Rs. 10,000, you have to send somebody with the money to the bank to deposit it. If you have doubt that the person will run away with the money, then you can’t move an inch in the society. Again, a sincere doubt is good, to awaken you towards knowledge. But beyond limit, it can cause heartaches and drag you backwards. Life should be like when you are in a car; where the windshield is big, you have a side mirror, and a little mirror to see the back. Just imagine if your windshield is as small as the rear mirror, and the rear mirror is as big as your windshield, then you are only seeing the past. You can’t move anywhere. So, you need to know a little bit about the past. Sometimes, you need to look into the rear mirror, and sometimes, you have to look in the side mirror. The windshield is your present, the vision of where you want to go.

Ashram Life...

There was an urge to experience the Ashram life. When I heard that the people whom I started admiring in my AOL journey in the beginning, the senior teachers, have all spent some time in the Ashram as an Ashramite, I wanted to experience that life. I just kept on praying to Guruji that I was bored of my the then job in London and I wanted to do something meaningful, where every moment of my life can be used in the best possible way. What can be better than contributing in my Guru's vision of making Stress Free, Violence Free world ? 

This is amazing life. Every moment I spend here, I feel is the best moment. He has given me this opportunity to serve the humanity in the best possible way. When someone comes here with a heavy heart and stays for a while, the environment here, the energy here just does the miracle... I love to see them when they are leaving. Their faces start glowing. They go with such a light heart and a big smile on their face. Isn't it the most meaningful way of living life? As such I have not done anything. I have just been here. That is all. Everything is happening by its own. However, I am the one who gets the credit. and that is the beauty of my Guruji. He makes me feel so special at every moment. He just keeps on showering His love in His special ways. I am just wondering if at all if I can ever mention in words, what it means to me!

Guys, whenever in life you feel that your day is not going the way you want it to go, just do something for a little betterment of others and you will see how beautifully your day would go. That would lighten your heart and the joy of giving will lighten your world...

10 Commandments.... the last part...


7. Better the world around you

Life runs on commitment. If you observe every small thing or big thing in life, they go with certain commitment. Greater the commitment you take, greater the power you gain to fulfill that commitment. Greater the commitment, easier things are. Smaller the commitment, suffocating it is for you. Smaller commitments suffocates you because you have more capacity, but you are stuck in a small hole! Usually we think we should have resource and then we will commit. Greater the commitment you take, greater the resources will come to you automatically. Whatever you are committed to, brings you strength. If you are committed to your family then your family supports you, if you are committed to society, you enjoy the support of society. Commitment will always bring comfort in the long run. Make a commitment to make this world a better place to live. 

8. Dream the impossible.

Unless you have a dream, you cannot realize it. Every invention has come out of a dream. Dream the impossible. Know that you are born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don’t let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big. Have the courage and determination to achieve those dreams that are dear to you.

At any given point of time, our mind is either angry or sad about the past or anxious about the future. Whatever actions you do in this state of mind, you regret after some time. This is how you get caught up in the same old cycle. Does it mean that you should not plan your future? No! you should plan your short and long term goals. Then and only then, life gets a channel, a direction to flow. When the mind is totally in the present, the right planning happens. Not only should you plan your goals, but plan the means and methods to work towards them. Do not make a list of all the things you want to achieve. Select few things that really matters.

9. Don’t kill others’ enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is the nature of life. We often have a tendency to put cold water on other’s enthusiasm. Reverse this tendency. Take every opportunity to praise others and support their enthusiasm. If you put down other’s enthusiasm, the same may happen to you. As you sow, so shall you reap. Someone without enthusiasm is like a corpse. How would you like to see yourself? Happy and bubbling with enthusiasm or dull and difficult to please? But as you mature the enthusiasm curve declines. Become one whose enthusiasm never dies.

10. Be a student, always

Know that you are a student forever. Do not under estimate anybody. Knowledge may come to you from any corner. Remember the ancient saying  “let knowledge flow to me from all sides”. Each occasion teaches you and each person teaches you. The world is your teacher.

10 Commandments... Contd...


4. Nurture your emotions

A person without emotions is like wood without any juice. You need to make your life interesting to draw people to you. This will happen when you nurture yourself with music, prayer and service. The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness n to overcome personal misery is to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Ask yourself what can you do for the world? When you show kindness, your true nature comes into play. Do some random acts of kindness without expecting anything out of it. You don’t have to plan your acts of kindness. Just do something spontaneously. When you do random acts of kindness, you come in touch with your true nature.

5. Drop your prejudices

Learn to communicate effectively with everyone. Communicating without prejudice is vital for success. If you are faced with someone who knows more than you, be like a child and keep your ears and eyes open for learning. If you are faced with someone who knows less than you, be humble and strive to make them as good as or better than you. This new year make up with someone with whom you are not in good terms. Drop all your prejudices against gender, religion, caste and class as they do not allow you to mingle with everyone around you. Break that barrier. There are good people and bad people in every community, religion and every section of society. Don’t be prejudiced against them. When you overcome prejudice, you will be very natural, and your quality of life will improve.

6. Allow rooms for mistakes

Don’t be feverish for perfection. If you are too much of a perfectionist, you are bound to be an angry person. The world appears imperfect on the surface but, underneath, all is perfect. Perfection hides; imperfection shows off. The wise will not stay on the surface but will probe into the depth.
To correct mistakes you need authority and love. Authority without love is stifling. Love without authority is shallow. When you allow room for mistakes, you can be both authoritative and sweet. Also don’t make a mistake by pointing out mistakes!

10 Commandments by Guruji


When you attend to the spirit, life attains its highest and becomes a celebration. 
Here’s how you can nurture the spirit.

1. Give the divine a chance.

Let your devotion flower and give it a chance to work. Prayer is a vital tool to improve your life. It also nurtures values such as integrity and honesty. If you are not grateful and prayerful, you will be miserable. What you can do, you do. What you can’t do, you pray for it! The feeling that “I am blessed” can help you overcome any failure. Once you realize that you are blessed, then all the complaints disappear, all the insecurities disappear.

The higher goals in life can only be realized through a few minutes of meditation and introspection. Meditation bring deepest of deepest rest. Deeper you are able to rest, dynamic you will be in activity. Even though deep rest and dynamic activity are opposite values, they are complementary. 

2. Take out time for yourself.

If for the whole day you are engaged in only gathering sources for creativity. Sometime during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball. But, during the day be 100 percent attached to the work. Eventually, you will be able to be both attached and detached at the same time. This is the skill of living, the art of living. You have to renounce all work you have done the whole day, only then can you rest in the night. Creativity springs up when you are relaxed. Taking out some time for yourself improves the quality of your life. Learning something about the breath and other levels of our existence is very important. 

3. Make your smile cheaper.

A baby smiles 400 times a day, an adolescent 17 times and an adult doesn’t smile at all! The more successful one becomes, stiffer the person is. Is being stressed a sign of prosperity, growth or dignity?

You should smile more. Every day, every morning look at the mirror and give a good smile to yourself. Don’t let your smile be snatched away by anybody! Usually, you give your anger freely and smile rarely as though a smile is costly. In ignorance, anger is cheaper and smile costly. In knowledge, a smile is free like the sun, air and water and anger is extremely expensive like a diamond. Make your smile cheaper and anger expensive! You are here for a greater cause. Just remember that. 

We will see the rest in coming days.... Enjoy..!!

The Importance of Nadi Pariksha - Ayurveda...

Often we think, why should we go for Ayurveda and Nadi Pariksha when we can easily get rid of any discomfort of disease by Allopathy?


Definition of the disease is, "any deviation from or interruption of the normal structure or function of any body part, organ, or system that is manifested by a characteristic set of symptoms and signs and whose etiology, pathology, and prognosis may be known or unknown." ( http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/disease, accessed on 23.02.12, 5:40pm IST)


We, as a life system, are made up of five elements, i.e. Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The food that we eat, once it is digested, it gets mixed up in the body as various nutrients which is nothing but these five elements. The entire Universe is made up of these basic elements. 


When the condition of disease or interruption begins in our system, it first enters into the space element, which is our aura. Aura is all surrounding the body, the energy field body. Then, it enters into the Air element, which is visible as disturbed breathing patterns. If we are sharp observers we won't miss this phenomenon related to breath. The third stage of interruption is into Fire element, which is associated with our mind. The mind is made up of thoughts and emotions mainly. So, we feel so much of mood swings (emotional turbulence) as well as continuous thoughts. Then it enters into the water element, where it affects our blood, urine and all those systems which is associated with water in the body. The last stage is the Earth element, which is our visibly gross body. 


Allopathy can only detect any disease once it has come to the level of water element or earth element. Whereas, Ayurveda can detect it from any of these five levels. Not only can it detect which level the interruption has entered, but also it can say up to what extent it has disturbed the system there. Therefore, one must go through Nadi Pariksha once a month. Once you know what is wrong with your over all life system then you can take measures in due time. Prevention is better than cure. Allopathy can only cure a disease once it has happened, whereas Ayurveda can prevent it from happening on your gross body.

The qualifications for a sincere seeker...

Happy new year every one. What can be a better subject to discuss than Yoga Vasistha to begin a new year with !!


Sage Vasistha told Rama that there are 4 qualifications needed to be a sincere seeker if you want to reach to the ultimate truth. 

1. Self-control
2. Spirit of Enquiry
3. Contentment and 
4. Good Company (Satsang)

Re-search - the meaning of this word from another angle.

In the realm of consciousness, there is no time. It is all in continuum. Everything, all the matter and all the energy, they exist together homogeneously in the same substratum. That is also called as the Universal Consciousness. In the ancient time, all our Sages knew this deeper reality of the existence. 


When the scientist takes the search for the things/concepts, they have got one pointed focus. All their energy (sentient/insentient) are concentrated behind only one thing. That goes so deeper into their consciousness that their craving again raises from every particle of their being. Nature anyway supports those whose enquiry is one pointed. So, the YOGA gets generated where the individual consciousness of the scientists meets with the Universal consciousness. As everything is present in that substratum, in reality, it is not any Shodhan (or search) but it is Sam Shodhan (Re-search). Hence, the name they gave was of Re-search. Shodhan or search is to find something if it is lost but SamShodhan is to re find it.

Spiritual analysis of how cancer happens....

One of the senior Doctor shared this amazing knowledge, who has been with Guruji for more than 22 years and also one of the senior teacher's of AOL. 

When there is lack in the mind, you crave for more and more. Your craving intensity is so high that you are giving your 100% in your cravings. Whether you realize it or not, you demand more and more from every cell of your body. Thus, the smallest unit of our existence, the cell, starts using its intellect the best it can. Once you give some order to your mind, your intellect is equipped enough to find all the ways to make it reality. Hence, the cell intellect starts dividing itself. Because the most it can do to gain more is by dividing itself at a speed where it is not aware exactly of what is being done but the feeling of lack is the driving force. that is how it begins... 

Think over it and post your comments here so that we can explore this subject more. Because, for me, this is a shocking stuff to analyse. If this is the root cause then we must take action to stop it and the best solution is the feeling of contentment which can prevent it. As a human being, we owe it to the rest of all. Don't we? and we must do whatever all is needed to help lessening suffering from this world. 

Jai Guru Dev !!

What is Sadhna?

Sadhna- Spiritual Practices, is not just an exercise. It is the way to surrender your self, your thoughts, your emotions with each passing breath. Keep on praying to your master that I want to be useful, I want to do Seva, I want to reach to the Ultimate. 

If positive emotion/thought comes, feel grateful and surrender it thankfully with outgoing breath. If negative emotion/thought comes up, just pray to Him to free you from that harmful tendency of the mind. 

When you are offering your life in love to the Lord, it becomes your true Sadhna.

Filtration -How important it is?

We have talked about observe, filter and surrender  - The master key

What if we are not able to use Filter properly? Filter is there for us to separate the harmful habits of mind from the beneficial ones. So that we can finally surrender those harmful habits to the divine and be free of them. 

Events come and go, but the habits, the tendencies of the mind come on the surface again and again. For example, if one possess a habit of blurting out anything at any time than it can be harmful. As in, if he/she is not able to put a filter of Viveka (discrimination), he/she would never be able to appeal anyone in his/her life, right? Practically this small thing helps a lot in our day to day life where we are surrounded with people and our connections in the capacity of different relations with them. Just check out all your relations and see if you are losing them just because you do not appeal them any more. If so, now you have got a key. Use Viveka and filter it out.

connection...

Just remembering a small event happened in Berlin..

Just before the Satsang starts, I wanted to connect the wire of the lamp post to the plug to switch it on. I could not find it. Once I found it, some words just came out like,"It is so important to connect the wire to the plug in order to have light..."

n this simple sounding statement is so very effective if we see the subtle meaning behind it..!! If we want light in our life, the light of Truth, the Divinity then it is essential that we plug in the wire of our self to the big self. We connect ourselves with this universal consciousness, which like an electricity is present anyways. it is just the matter of connecting with it. As soon as we connect, the lamp starts functioning n so is our heart n mind.. in the direction of the truth..

Seven Flavours of Consciousness..

After a long time, I got an opportunity to get connected through internet again. In the mean time, a friend gifted a book named, "Rang de re mann"  by Kartik Shah. Today, I am sharing some of the things clicked with me from that book.

It is again based on the knowledge sessions that we attended with Rishiji. 

Assuming here, we all know what is consciousness, let us go ahead with the different flavours of consciousness. At a time, one of these flavours would be dominating our existence, our consciousness. 

1. Complaining Consciousness - which likes to complain
2. Attacking Consciousness -which likes to be attacking, not ready to listen to anything or anyone. 
3. Defensive Consciousness - interested in defending the self.
4. Victim Consciousness - interested in blaming others.
5. Aloof Consciousness - interested in being with one's own shell, like a turtle - pulling away from the world.
6. Guilt Consciousness - interested in blaming the self. 
7. Lack Consciousness -feeling constant lack of everything.

A refined intelligence and a high degree of awareness is needed to keep a watch on our minds. I would recommend that all of us should start observing our mind and at a time which of the flavours is dominant. How do we behave under the influence of the pattern of the mind as such? Note it down and see if you tend to follow any patterns with same people or situations. Is it harmful to your mind or beneficial? 

The first step is being aware. Therefore, if we have not begun yet, let us start being aware about our tendencies. Let us identify those harmful habits of the mind. We will discuss each of these flavours.. but before that, start practising to observe your own mind. We might forget what we read or listen to, but we do not forget what we experience. so let us start learning with experiences.

Language of the Universe...

Silence is the language of the universe. yet, the Universe is not at all silent. With all the cosmic members, it just keeps making non-striking sound. The sound which speaks the language of the silence. 


Is it possible to understand what it has to say? 
yes it is possible by diving deeper into the inner world. We have to begin by understanding the language of our own hearts. In Guruji's words, our intuition. for that, we have to be quiet. We have to spend quality time with our own company. Have a journey through your own mind. It is so infinite, so vast. It is easy to write these words Infinite and Vast. But if you just sit with yourself, with a determination of not getting distracted by your senses, you will see that the entire universe is present inside you. You look at the stars and the distance between them. The same space is there between two sub-atomic particles in every particle of your being. You see the universe is all functioning with its vibrations, pulsations. Your body resonates the same vibes. Once, you interpret the language of your body and mind, u can easily link it to get to know what the entire universe has to say. All you have to do is to start with an understanding at the cellular level, which can only be done by relaxing and reposing into the Self. At any given time, with respect to the space around you, you can easily make your own formula and solve this puzzle. 


Silence is the most sensible language where complex things can be easily communicated in simple ways. Practice will make us more perfect and grace will do miracles. All we have to do is to take first step towards it. Good luck to all of us, the Spiritual Scientists,  for this beautiful journey of understanding the language of the universe.
