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.

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 !!
