Live Fully Always

Imagine a carefree world where every second that unfolded was guaranteed to be beautiful and magical. The word ‘uncertainty’ or ‘crisis’ did not even exist in the  dictionaries of that place. Nobody in that world had thoughts about future because everything was expected to be good. People always remained happy, carefree, and stayed in the present moment. Can one remain carefree in the current world that is constantly fluctuating and uncertain? People in the imaginary world were happy because there was light of positivity everywhere. Folks in this world are scared because they are surrounded by the darkness of negativity. Spiritual knowledge emits the light that is needed to remain carefree in this dubious world. I thought I was mostly carefree, but at Brahma Kumaris I came to know that many times the carefreeness was actually carelessness. I also realized through knowledge and meditation that there were many inhibitions within that were preventing me from stretching myself. The li...

We are living in a world where anything is possible. A very close relative can kill their relative for wealth, an earthquake can eradicate an entire city, or a deadly disease can kill thousands of people. Day in and out we hear these kind of horrific real stories, and it makes us very anxious about our future. Future is indeed unknown and unpredictable. We feel something bad will happen either in the next moment, tomorrow, or in the future. Fear makes the unknown and unpredictable future a little known by predicting something bad will happen. It is important to check how many of our predictions actually come true, and do they help in preventing the mishaps from happening ? I thought I was overall a fearless person, very bold and courageous. I was shocked to find out through meditation that I possessed countless fears within. I also understood that timidness was taking away a lot of my energy and confidence. My aim is to fearlessly and enthusiastically breeze through every storm of ...

Imagine a bank where you never deposited anything, yet there was a constant inflow of money into your account. The more money you withdrew from the bank, the more money got deposited. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an account in such a bank? Unfortunately, such a bank does not exist in real world. A real bank account is empty or has little money if we have only withdrawn money and never deposited anything. We have to pay huge fines to the bank if the monthly payments are not done in time for the loan taken. Bankruptcy will have to be filed if we fail to deposit money for an elongated period of time. In today’s world many people feel emotionally bankrupt inspite of investing heavily in some relationships. A physical bank can chase us for a debt only till we (soul) are in the body, but debt between souls will chase us even after soul has left the body (death). I received a third eye at Brahma Kumaris that enabled me to understand the credit and debts I, the soul, had created over m...

I recollect the legendary story of Pied Piper as that depicts the sentiments of today’s parents. In that story, the Piper was able to create a spell on the mice through his magical pipe. The mice without any resistance followed the Piper to the river and got drowned. Parents want their kids to listen to their every word and religiously follow their direction without any questions. Indeed in the good old days back in India, this wish of parents got fulfilled. In today’s world, the biggest complaint of the parents is that the kids don’t listen to them. The kids have a mind of their own even when they are a toddler. Then why will they use the mind of their parents? Parents want kids to take their advice because they have experience and wisdom. Unfortunately telling the kids, ‘I know better’, does not help but makes matter worse. Should parents let go of their pure wish to help kids in avoiding mistakes because they know from their experience? Ego will certainly make parents not want to ...

In today’s world many people are able to afford a family vacation to exotic places. The main intent of the vacation is to build stronger relationship by spending more time with each other. The reality is quite different from it as most people end up having even more closer relationship with their devices. A restaurant is typically filled with people not in active conversation or enjoying the food, but people busy lost in their devices. Rarely will you see people conversing with each other. Even if they do it is for a short time and then they are back on their device. Sadly it might be better this way because holiday season is the peak time for filing divorces as a result of spouses spending more time with each other. Isn’t it an irony that instead of the relationship getting healed, spending time is causing divorces? We live in a fictitious world that overall relationship is okay and avoid addressing the conflicts that are growing steadily. A little time with each other shows us clear...
