Sacrifice , The Secret & Mahatma Gandhi

Approximately 4-5 months back , one of my very very closed friends suggested me a book for reading titled : "The Secret". In fact during that period of time , I was busy reading "Atmakatha" by the Great Mahatma Gandhiji. No doubt Atmakatha gave me great insights. In fact after reading Atmakatha , I was little drawn towards possessing nothing , sacrificing , helping others etc etc.

In fact an emotion was building inside me - " I'm working only for me , doing nothing for the society in which I am living!" OR " Whatever great I may express myself about my great enterpreneurism , it's just selfishness , nothing , absolutely nothing in front of what people do" OR " I'm a self - centred person , thinking only about myself , myself & MY family , MY things: That's all.

During this period only Nitin came to me and told me - " Now you read only "The Secret & forget everything else". He was so impressed ; rather completely hypnotised by that book , which built such a strong will within me ; that I impulsively bought the book at Bangalore & started reading , digesting , living , getting involved , again reading …..

Besides very many great things Rhonda Byrne , the author has written ; I got a tremendous enlightenment on SACRIFICE . It says something like this :-

If you give when you yourself are not full , you have a thought within you which says :- I am giving although I have less. What signal goes to the universe? : I have Less , I have Less , I have Less ….. Your subconscious accepts the command & in return you get less, less & less only.

On the contrary , if you give when you have plenty , as our great guruji Rishi Prabhakar says – When you are full [ By within] , it flows OUT automatically. What signal ? I have plenty , I’m FULL . Same is accepted by your subconscious & you get the same in return .

Coming back to “Atmakatha“ – Whatever Gandhiji did – was from the emotion of feeling FULL from within , and he was 100% in happy state , for whatever he was doing. He was not thinking that he was “SACRIFICING” : That’s the point. The Secret showed me the way :- Let me be full first ……..

MAINTAINING FOCUS


Importance of Focus

When we think of word focus , the immediate image which flashes into mind is of a table – Lamp. In Table Lamp houses a Bulb. A bulb , without the Table Lamp Cap spreads out light in all directions. What does the lamp shed does ? It actually manages the light. It gathers all the light going astray and directs it to the object , say the book. This increases the availability of light for reading.

Similary , it applies to our thoughts too. What happens from Morning to Night , from getting up to retiring, just try to visualize. We get up with a beautiful , fertile mind , with a happy mood in the morning. We plan our daily schedule. We decide to implement certain tasks . Then we take breakfast & leave for work. Slowly , the day starts coming up and pressures start to build up. Phone calls start coming , Wife or husband asks 100questions , Car window not opening, traffic jammed , Boss expecting you to be in time , Rains disturbing the whole schedule , 100s & 1000s of such things come up one by one.

AND …..

I forget what I had decided. I lose the sight of my tasks , intentions , goals. What happens here is :the thoughts start to flow astray , my actions , without direction. I tend to dwell upon certain thoughts which do not contribute to my plan. I completely lose myself in useless action. What to do ?

I just sit quiet , irrespective of whatever situation , for 10-15 minutes , with my cellphone switched off . I close my eyes , close the room door . I avoid making any plans , any decision making , if not wholly , but for these 15 minutes. These 15 minutes , I am nobody’s father , wife , husband. Let me be free ….. , free ….. , free.

Doing this exercise thrice a day , will take up your valuable time ? Not at all. You will come to know , when you do this for a week. The immediate consequence you observe is a tremendous energetic feeling , to take up task in hand.

Again you will be back to your work with a lot of FOCUSSED mind.

About Being Judgemental

Every day , every Hour , Every 5-10 minutes , we come in contact with various people , our own family members , friends , business contacts , friends , relatives , known , unknown , competitors , rivals , in-laws , the list is truly end-less.

What happens when one human being get connected to the other. Let me talk about me – myself. When I meet anybody – I immediately relate his face , his voice , his outlook , appearance to some images stored in my mind-memory. I try to find out which of my experience matches or near matches to his voice / looks , way of talking etc etc. Once I get a best possible match , I label him : This fellow is like this , that , and what happens further is that I DECIDE my actions , I plan my behaviour accordingly.

And this whole thing happens in what time ? In some seconds.

But , there is a bad news . Whatever I have thought about him can be entirely untrue , it can all go against my perceptions. So , what should I do , rather what I do ?- I have first decided to become non judgemental about anybody. How to do this. I do not ask him about his native place , where he belongs , as far as possible I even try not to know his surname , his caste etc. This stops my mind from further enquirying about the data stored in my memory bank & keeps my mind free from decision making.

In a fraction of a second , we make millions of decisions. Let the mind stop from it for some time!

LET US BE NOT JUDGEMENTAL!

Life Flows !

Truly ! As we are living our day-to-day lives , we are faced with various situations. Every human being has a different reaction to a similar kind of situation. But it's absolutely obvious , isn't it so ?

Since we are Human Beings , it's absolutely okay to be human. To be human , is to have differences in opinion. So , when we are confronted with situations , where the opposite person does not agree to my opinion , don't try to overrule , instead , just accpet in your heart , that it's perfectly alright for him or her to have a difference of opinion.

Life is very fluid. It goes on , and on and on. Rather ...... it flows on & on & on

We can't change the happenings , but if i let myself soak into the situation , better are the chances of me , not to be drawn into my miseries , isn't it ?

What do you imagine ?


Every morning , i get up with a fresh body & fresh mind set to take up new challenges life has set for me. Sometime my morning starts up worrying , sometime it starts with optimism , sometime with lethargy. I always feel -- i am holding something. What is it ? What is it ? It's a thought. How to get rid of it ? Just release the thought. To do this , try deep breathing. Then imagine you are in a place which your mind memorises greatest & happiest moments of your life. Where you have been at ease with the situation. Absolutely comfortable. Say you were on a trip to Kasmir OR Taking Sun Bath at a beach OR enjoying great anniversary with your spouse. Imagine that & let yourself melt into the situation.

After a few minutes of this exercise , you will find - a complete release of negative energy - the worry , the anxiety , the fear , the excitement has gone and ??? you are a free individual , like a ball , a child who knows nothing but dancing here & there. Try this !
