Always be engaged with God through knowledge...knowledge of God as the ultimate reality. One who abides in the supreme knowledge of the ultimate reality, realises God as non separate from himself. Such a person is always connected with God through knowledge, whether they are engaged in prayer and devotional worship or in mundane worldly activities. Such a person abides in the transcendental truth and is perennially established in swarup gyan. Every act becomes an act of devotional worship for them. They are continually engaged in unbroken loving remembrance of God by realising God through knowledge. So even when prayers and worshipful activities cease the connection with God through knowledge remains constant. To such a devotee who abides in His real nature, always contemplating God as the eternal all-pervading unchanging supreme reality, the Lord bestows everything he needs and protects everything he already has. His welfare and protection is granted by God. Such a realised enlightened devotee knows God as one without a second.. the one non dual sole reality in which everything appears, arises, exists and dissolves. He realises that all is God...God alone is, all is not.

 It will not change until you accept it. Accept the things you cannot change. Practise radical acceptance. Stop fighting reality. Accepting things the way they are stops your suffering from escalating. You can reduce your pain and suffering by accepting that you cannot force things to change, you cannot bend the universe to your will and you have to patiently wait for the cycle to end. Surrender to the divine will and wait for the divine timing. No matter how badly you want something to manifest It will not happen if you force it or will it to happen. It will manifest when you are ready. The universe will know you are ready when you let go. Then it will manifest.   When your energy changes and you evolve spiritually then you will receive it. You need to be in the right energetic state by practising detachment and acceptance. When you are no longer fixated on the fruition of your desired outcome, the universe will grant your wishes. When you detach yourself from the desire...

THE UNCHANGING SELF

 The root cause of all suffering is Avidya or ignorance of our real nature. It forms the foundation of the chain of cause and effect that results in bondage. Avidya leads to Aviveka or absence of discernment between the real and the unreal, the Self and the non self. Aviveka leads to ahamkara or ego consciousness, induced by false identification with the body-mind complex, which is erroneously perceived to be the real Self due to the absence of true knowledge of the eternal authentic Self. Ahamkara generates impurities in the mind such as raga/dvesha or likes and dislikes, attachments and aversions, desires, passions and vasanas. Vasanas are subliminal inclinations, formed by the latent impressions of past life experiences and unfulfilled desires, which become the seed of desires in future lives. All these together constitute the powerful urges and compelling impulses that are the driving forces which form the basis of Karma. Karma generates reactions or effects which must then be ...

The reduction of desires is the route to happiness. Desire is the root cause of all suffering. It is only in the ephemeral moments of desirelessness that ensue after the fulfilment of a desire, that we truly experience contentment, serenity and bliss. When we pray to God, we should ask to be blessed with the spiritual bliss of desirelessness. This spiritual bliss is the highest thing to be desired from God. One can also train one's mind to attain this blissful state of desirelessness through sadhana, by converting desires into preferences. Preferences are harmless and non binding and do not lead to suffering. It is the non fulfilment of binding desires that is a constant source of suffering. The compulsivity to pursue desires can progressively be attenuated or controlled by concertedly exercising one’s will power to overcome the raga-dvesha or attachments-aversions that induce or drive those desires. True bliss and everlasting peace lie in attaining an abiding state of desirelessne...
