21. Excerpt from my book- Know Your Real Self
The book has three parts and Part A. gives clarity and spiritual guidance on various spiritual topics based on my personal experiences of last twenty years. The spiritual topics discussed in the book include topics like:- How to manifest your desires or turn your desires into reality?, …..How to make a choice or decision in your life?, …..Karma = Mind = Maya,…. Enlightenment to liberation, ….The root cause of everything is your ego,…. Art of becoming fearless,…. Dual nature of mind. How to go beyond it,…. Art of detachment or dying and de addiction,…. Can one experience divine love on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, ….What is true humility or humbleness,…. True love is beyond ego, attachment and expectations, ….More clarity on unconditional love and acceptance,…. Is there only physical rape or is there mental, emotional and spiritual rape also? , ….Can one eat non vegetarian food on the spiritual path, ….What are the spiritual lessons that all these 12 planets want you to learn through their placement in your astrological chart/lagna chart, ….Do you stop enjoying life once you reach a state of total vairagya or desirelessness?, …..How to remain positive all the time and how does this positive attitude helps in our spiritual path,…. Who is your soulmate ? …..and many more topics like these discussed in the book.
True compassion is the state beyond your mind, intellect, thoughts, emotions and logic. When you are overwhelmed by emotions, and feel the pain of the other inside you and get carried away by it and feel the sympathy towards that being, then this is not compassion. Read more about it in the book.
Karma = Mind = Maya : One simple step can liberate you from the so called maya jaal or the clutches of maya. We are born enlightened and freedom is our birthright. We only need to get conscious of our enlightened being. This can happen in just one single step. You must be wondering how it is possible. Everything is possible provided you are open and receptive to it. So are you ready to expand your consciousness and go beyond the limitations of your mind? If your answer is yes then let’s explore and understand what is Karma, Mind & Maya, first separately and then explore the dimension of how are they one and not separate which means Karma = Mind = Maya. You can read more about it in the book.
Man hi karta, man hi bhogta (mind is the doer, mind is the experiencer). Negative & positive belief systems: All the negative & positive conditionings and belief systems (negative/positive thought + negative/positive emotion + negative/positive psychic impression or memory) are very deeply rooted within us, as my guru says, “man hi karta, man hi bhogta” (mind is the doer and mind is the experiencer). With the help of sadhna/meditation and contemplation, we need to start erasing or letting go of the negative belief systems first and then finally even release the positive ones so that we are free from the impact of all these belief systems & be able to activate our atma shakti from within. This will strengthen our faith & we will be able to listen to the voice of the atma or guru within us. The day your mind is free from all the good & bad belief systems and conditionings of the past, present & future, then your mind consciousness(chetna) will merge with higher consciousness(atma) and you will attain true wisdom and clarity & then whatever you want will materialize instantly. Read more about it in the book.
Who is a true yogi or yogini? A true yogi or yogini is not the one who pretends to renounce everything externally while internally still crave and desire or have attachments, but a true yogi or yogini is the one who may or may not renounce anything externally but he or she will definitely renounce everything internally with total detachment towards everyone and everything. Read more about it in the book.
God is beyond both divine and devil : This is to give more clarity to people who fear the devil and assume divine to be god. God is beyond both divine and devil. Divine and devil both are an important part of maya or illusion and duality, created by the supreme divine mother or shakti/supreme divine energy to reach god, to know god, to experience god and to be conscious of god. You can read more about it in the book.
Unconditional love means giving love unconditionally without any terms & conditions or expectations, but unconditional love and acceptance does not mean that you become a doormat and let people take advantage of you and use you. It only means that you don’t hold anything negative like anger or hate, etc in your heart against anyone, and are able to let go and forgive. But at the same time, you need to be strong and firm and not let anyone use you or take advantage of you. Allowing people to use you and take advantage of you or hurt you or harm you will only encourage them and give them strength to do more & more and will also enhance their ego. And you will be responsible to a great extent for not stopping them and encouraging them & making their ego even bigger. So a victim is a victim because they are allowing people to victimize them, hence they have no right to blame others but themselves for it. You can read more about it in the book.
How to make a choice or decision in your life? * Whenever you make a choice or decision about anything in your life, just ask yourself what are the reasons behind making that particular choice or decision. Make a list of all the possible reasons. * If the reasons are based on any kind of fear, guilt or any other negative thought or emotion, it’s a wrong choice or wrong path/direction that you are planning to undertake. If the reasons are based on inner freedom, love, peace, happiness or positive thoughts or emotions, it is a right choice. * If all your choices are based on negative emotions like fear or guilt, then first try to release your negative thoughts and emotions through your sadhana/meditation & then make a decision. Or for example, if one path/choice is based on fear and the other choice based on peace, happiness & inner freedom then first release the fear behind the first path/choice through your sadhna/meditation. Then reconsider both the paths again and make your final decision.
Part B of the book has all my spiritual experiences, realizations and learning’s of last 30 years for example- How Shirdi Sai Baba, my first guru touched & transformed the deepest core of my heart,…. The turning point in my life’s journey after reading the book “Autobiography Of A Yogi”,…. Experience of emptiness and detachment,…. Experience of shoonya/nothingness and pure consciousness,…. Experience of consciousness expanding to infinity,… Experience of stillness and silence,…. Experience of deep samadhi after doing Mahamrityunjaya beej mantra sadhna, ….Learn to say no when you don’t want to say yes,…learnt the lesson of complete surrender and faith….and many more spiritual experiences that I had and spiritual lessons that I learnt during my spiritual journey are shared in the book
Experience of unconditional pure love-the source of all creation/creativity: My next experience happened in 2008 December shivir/ spiritual camp. The third day of the shivir/spiritual camp I felt and experienced infinite love flowing within me, which was infinitely blissful. I experienced, felt and realized that the whole creation is made out of this pure divine love energy. I felt as if there is nothing but love everywhere and in everything. This went on for many hours & then I prayed to babaji & all the spiritual masters, “This experience is great but I don’t want this, I want mukti/liberation, I want this ‘I’ to dissolve, this self to dissolve completely”.
Experience of contentment and bliss: One day after finishing my sadhna/meditation I came out of my room and felt extreme hunger. I had never felt so hungry in my entire life. This hunger was uncontrollable, so I immediately went to my kitchen to find something to eat. At last I found one apple and cut it into 4 pieces. The moment I put one piece in my mouth I felt some very strong force pushing me to go towards my entrance gate. I went out and reached my main entrance gate and saw three children coming towards me. They told me that they were very hungry and wanted something to eat. So I saw in my plate and there were exactly three pieces of apple there and gave one to each of them. I asked them to wait so that I can get something more for them to eat and I rushed inside to get some more food for them. But by the time I returned they had gone. After this whole experience I felt so full and contented with no trace of hunger and felt extreme bliss and ecstasy for many hours.
This also made me realize that when you want something very badly for yourself but still you give that to others being totally selfless, you receive lot of divine/god’s grace and blessings.
Learn to say no: This was a lesson I learnt when I was in my teens. I had this problem of saying yes to everything, in other words I could never say no to anyone. I would do all the things everyone asked me to do. Most of the times I liked doing it because pleasing others gave me lot of happiness and satisfaction but there were few times when I really did not like it but yet I did it. During this phase of my life I read a book with the title “Learn to say no when you don’t want to say yes”. After reading this book I realized what I was doing to myself or my ego. I was allowing people to take advantage of me (my ego) against my wish. I soon learnt this lesson and started applying in my life. Though it was difficult in the beginning to change this habit but still I did it because I realized it was for my own good. People around me got little unhappy seeing this change within me since they were so used to my saying yes to them all the time. It was difficult for them to hear the word “no” from me but with time they understood and got used to it. Since that time I felt internally free to say what I wanted to and at the same time was also able to release the fear of hurting and displeasing others for saying no to them.
To have absolute and complete surrender and faith: Once when I was returning from the Shrividya deeksha shivir/initiation camp of my guru in july 2006, in Delhi. I suddenly felt a very strong urge to go to Shirdi Sai Baba temple nearby. So I visited that temple and while I was coming out of the temple, lot of children started coming towards me and begging me to buy an ice cream for them. So I went to the nearby ice-cream vendor and told him to give ice cream to all of them. I suddenly saw more and more children started coming and seeing that it made me a little anxious because I had very little money with me. I also needed some money to take an auto and go back home. Sensing my anxiety the ice cream man said something to me which I can never forget in my entire life. He told me that “why do you worry, nothing is yours, it is his and he is the doer not you”, pointing at Sai Baba. Listening to him I felt so ashamed and embarrassed and immediately realized my mistake. All my anxiety and fear was now gone. Having complete faith in Sai Baba and my guru, I told him to continue giving ice creams to all the children. After paying him the money for all the ice creams, I checked the remaining money in my purse, and to my surprise I saw that I was left with the exact amount of money that I needed to take an auto and go back home. I realized and learnt the lesson of having complete surrender and absolute faith towards guru and god for everything in life.
Part C of the book tells about the most important spiritual teachings of all my four gurus which I have practiced and applied in my life. This is one of the main reasons for my spiritual growth and progress. My four guru’s are Shirdi Sai Baba-my first guru , Paramhansa Yogananda-my second guru, Osho-my third guru and Avdhoot Baba Shivananda- my fourth guru.

20. Emotional attachment has nothing to do with true love
People think emotional attachment is love but attachment has nothing to do with true and unconditional love. You need to be detached to love unconditionally. The more attached you will be , the more you will be affected by that persons behaviour and reactions and then it will be difficult for you to love in that moment especially when you are affected negatively. The more detached you will be , the more unaffected you will be by other person’s behaviour and reactions and then you will be able to love unconditionally and truly. So the truth is that only a detached person will be able to give unconditional and true love all the time no matter what. A deeply attached person’s love will easily turn into anger and hatred when he will get affected negatively by other person’s behaviour or reaction. So be more detached and give true love to everyone !
19. Gratitude
Energy of gratitude is one of the most positive energies that you can fill your being with and fill your life with. If you are always grateful for everything you have in your life then you will generate lot of positive energy and you will be always happy, but if you will keep complaining about what you dont have in life then you will keep generating negative energy and you will always be unhappy. You need to always look at what you have – for example you have two eyes, two legs, two hands, food, shelter, clothes, etc which many people may not have. The more grateful you will be , the more happier you will be. So stop complaining and be grateful always !
18. Forgiveness
Forgive and let go ! The more you are going to forgive , the more lighter and peaceful you will feel. By forgiving you can easily let go of all your anger and hatred which may be suppressed in your subconscious. Anger and hatred energy will only harm you in the long run physically, mentally and of-course spiritually. So let go of all your anger and hatred by truly forgiving others because you will be doing this for your own good. Sometimes forgiving is not easy but always remember that by not forgiving you will be keeping all the anger and hatred energy inside you which will affect you negatively and cause harm to you only.
17. Unconditional Love
The more you will give unconditional love to others the more closer you will get to gods supreme energy and consciousness. Unconditional love energy is the most powerful , most positive and most subtle energy because it is purest form of love without any expectations and conditions. Unconditional love energy has the power to resolve all your problems and difficulties provides you keep giving this love energy to everyone around you no matter what others do and no matter how others behave but that does not mean that you allow anyone to harm you or misbehave with you or ill-treat you. Unconditional love energy is also the energy of manifestation. If you keep giving unconditional love energy then this positive energy within you and around you will help you manifest your desires and wishes provides they are positive desires and wishes. So start giving unconditional love to everyone around you. Dont expect anything in return, dont put conditions …just love !

2. Can you really deny existence of God ?
Well the fact is that if anyone denies existence of God then he also denies existence of Energy and Consciousness, because in truth God is nothing but Supreme Consciousness and Supreme Energy. Scientists have proven the existence of energy everywhere – within us and outside us. And you all are aware of the fact that you can be either conscious or unconscious and you all are conscious human beings and not in an unconscious state. You are conscious of your body, mind – thoughts , emotions , feelings, etc. The more evolved you are , the more conscious and aware you will be of your inside and outside and you will act consciously and not unconsciously. The higher your level of consciousness , the closer you will get to Supreme Consciousness or God. The more pure and subtle your energy becomes, the more peace and silence you will experience and you will get more closer to Supreme Energy or God. So its important to keep raising your level of Consciousness and keep purifying your Energy. (Purify your thoughts, purify your emotions & feelings , purify your intentions, purify your heart and mind). And finally reach a thoughtless and emotionless state of Supreme and Pure Consciousness and Energy ! Many people have reached this state of samadhi and have experienced their Soul and God. But to reach this state your ego ( I, me & myself ) has to die completely and with your ego all your attachments, desires and expectations also have to die or in other words you need to naturally go beyond them without any form of suppression. Mind has to be free from all thoughts and emotions and you have to go beyond the mind. This is also called a state of liberation or freedom from mind and ego. This is a state where you can experience Supreme Consciousness and Supreme and Pure Energy……or in other words God. I know it is not as easy as it sounds but it is important to know that it is possible , no matter how many life times it takes to get there. The point is how many of you even want to get there ? Very few , not even 1% of the total population. Most of you just desire positive thinking and attitude , happiness and little bit of peace. But for that also you need to make the required efforts and purify your heart and mind and raise your level of consciousness to some extent.

15. Time Management
For time management you need to know your priorities in life. You need to know what is most important in your life. If meditation and spiritual growth is important for you then you will take out time for it without making any excuses. It is as simple as that. If it is not important for you then obviously you will never be able to take out time for it. The same thing applies for every other thing in your life. That is why it is so important to know what is most important and what is least important in your life.
