Karma

What happens to you is not in your control. Accept it. However, how you are going to respond to what is happening to you is absolutely in your control. Take responsibility for it. Your present is created by your past karma. How are you respond to your present will cause the Karma from which your future will come.

Suffering

Suffering is caused when you mind wants life to go in a particular direction, but your life goes in a different one altogether. You try to define life, but life defines all definitions that you confine it to. Suffering is caused when you resist ‘What Is’.

A religious man

A religious man is an organic unity, in balance. His head, his hands, his feet, his body, his mind, his souls, all are in deep harmony, in a deep rhythm. He is an orchestra.
Excerpted from the books of Osho

You got to believe

Questioning

"One of the important things in life is not to stop questioning. The moment one stops questioning, search ceases." ~ Vaibhav

A journey within

Religion and Fear

Religion has survived up to now because of your fear and greed. Of course I mean false religion. True religion has nothing to do with fear and greed. In fact, true religion means transcending fear and greed.

We call religious persons “god-fearing”. Fear has nothing to do with religion at all; fear is anti-religious. Love is religion. Authentic religious person will make you unafraid, fearless; not a slave, not a puppet in the hands of some unknown god, some fiction.

Peace emanates from soul

"Peace emanates from the soul, and is the sacred inner environment in which true happiness unfolds." ~ Paramahansa Yogananda

Life...

There is no saturation in life…
only saturated minds.
There is no stagnation in life…
only stagnant people.

Life is a mere open parenthesis…
fill as much as you want…
there is no close parenthesis.

There us as much room
as your heart can conceive…
as much room
as your mind can believe…
as much room
as your attitude towards life.

The only word that can befit life is ‘More’.
Excerpted from ‘Unposted Letter’ by T.T. Ranga Rajan

Understanding comes with love

"Great understanding comes with great love. "
Wisdom and compassion are inseparable qualities of our true nature. To be wise is to love and to love is to be wise.
Wisdom is the quality of mind that sees beyond the limits of the ego-self and knows the ultimate connectedness of life. Love is the quality of heart that unites us with others and all of life, and frees us from our separateness.
The path to enlightenment is opening the mind to wisdom and the heart to compassion and love.
