  Drop Ego, Be Happy Ego says, "Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace." Spirit says, "Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place." - Marianne Williamson Long ago, there lived a sculptor in a village, who used to make very beautiful sculptures. His fame had spread far and wide and people used to come to see the life like statues the sculptor made. The sculptor took great pride in his work. Time came when he became quite old and he started fearing that soon it would be time for him to leave the world. He made a plan to confuse death (as per old legends, a messenger from death used to come to take souls from earthly bodies). The sculptor made ten statues that looked like him and when the messenger from death came, the sculptor stood still along with the ten statues. The messenger was really confused and could not make out the real person from the eleven statues that stood before him. Then the messenger got an idea. He said alo...

  Can Love lead to Success? This is against conventional thinking so most of us would not have considered this aspect .   I invite you to explore this with an open mind to see how it makes a lot of sense . Many persons get stuck in life because of a loss of personal power due to factors like Fear ,guilt, shame, self pity, comparisons   etc   . Fear blocks us from taking action.   And guilt makes us weak. A healthy dose of self love and forgiveness   is enough to get back that lost Power . So all success starts with . All   Success starts with a feeling . A feeling of self acceptance and self love , Love for others, Peace and happiness is a space from where you   can take powerful action .Negative emotions can only block you or reduce the impact of the action . And only inspired action can get you great results .   For only when you love and respect yourself can others truly accept you and connect to you . We know that one of the most cr...

  The present moment is all there is “To the ego, the present moment is, at best, only useful as a means to an end. It gets you to some future moment that is considered more important, even though the future never comes except as the present moment and is therefore never more than a thought in your head. In other words, you are never fully here because you are always busy trying to get elsewhere. When this pattern becomes more pronounced, and this is very common, the present moment is regarded and treated as if it were an obstacle to be overcome. This is where impatience, frustration, and stress arise, and in our culture, it is many people’s everyday reality, their normal state. Life, which is now, is seen as a “problem,” and you come to inhabit a world of problems that all need to be solved before you can be happy, fulfilled, or really start living—or so you think. The problem is: For every problem that is solved, another one pops up. As long as the present moment is seen as an ob...

  Sharing an inspirational story I came across 47 year old Mohan owns a salon in Madurai for the last 20 years. He earns Rs 600 profit everyday, and he has been saving every penny for the education of his only daughter Nethra who was 13 years old. He had saved Rs 5 lakh, and wanted to use it for Nethras education so that she can achieve her dream to become an IAS officer. When the lockdown started, and economic crisis crept in, the families in and around Madurai became helpless. It was then that Nethra asked her father to use the Rs 5 lakh fund to help the needy.They created food packets, and fed 600 families in Madurai, using their saving of Rs 5 lakh. Nethra told her father that helping these poor people is the 1st priority right now. If she has to, she will become IAS officer later. The good deeds done by Mohan and his family spread, and PM Modi mentioned him during the last Mann Ki Baat program. Now, the word spread so far, that the UN has appointed Nethra as “Goodwill Ambassad...

  Thoughts on Creating our own Destiny All that we are today is the result of what we have thought in the past . Imagine we start with a blank slate and what we allow others to scribble in it as we grow up creates the picture we have of ourselves and we think it is us. However you are not your thoughts , you are not your emotions, you are not your mind, So who are you ? You existed long before and will exist long after this body is gone .You are pure consciousness or the Soul . Once you realise this fully you have the power to choose what thoughts you wish to entertain . Treat them like guests. Let only the good ones stay longer .Thoughts bubbles up from the pool that is your subconscious mind .Remember it is not just your thoughts but whatever you have captured and stored from childhood from your environment and life experiences . There is no rationality there Based on triggers in current environment these get thrown up and you react . Your life is more about how you react that wh...

  Change your Habits, Change your Destiny Watch your Thoughts, for they lead to words Watch your words for they lead to actions Watch your actions for they become habits Watch your habits for they become your character Watch your character for it becomes your Destiny   Whether we are Happy or Unhappy, Fit or Unfit , Successful or Un Successful, Dead or Alive today all depends on our past habits. Who we are now and where we stand today is the sum total of all our Habits good or bad. This is a very blunt statement .See whether it resonates with you. Spend a few minutes now thinking over all the crisis in your life or that of loved ones currently and think about what habit if in place earlier could have averted it .Every now and then we come across people even in 40s  dropping dead suddenly with no warning or sometimes getting saved by a narrow margin .Those who survive inevitably realize the need to change their habits and the fear of losing their life gives them the willpo...

  Transformation Who we are is what decides what we get in life . It is our response to situations and not the situations that affect us . Most of us live our lives based on certain programs or filters  within us which color the views we hold about what is happening . That is what creates  our success in every area of life . We can see what is going wrong in other people’s life so well and we do often advice others . But when it comes our own life we are powerless. We operate blind not knowing what is causing the problem and even when we know it we are powerless to change ourselves . This causes stagnation in many areas of Life .  Everyone of us have many emotional and mental blocks that needs clearing . There is also the need to remove limiting beliefs and reprogram the subconscious. And create the right habits to enable us to operate with power and ongoing basis create a better version of ourselves . Many of us have been stuck in a world that had only rationality a...

  The Genesis of Ascensions – An Intention set and a declaration in Facebook in July Dear Friends Let me introduce myself. I am a lifelong learner with a huge commitment to understanding and maximising my own potential To that end I have always invested time, energy, money and effort into learning about the mind and human potential. I also have a firm commitment to help others do the same. Why am I writing this ? Right now mankind is in the midst of a sort of existential crisis and uncertain times always call for a radical new approach . But even before COVID happened I am sure many of you were already apprehensive about the way the world was heading . The survival of Mother Earth for future generations was already at stake because of Mans greed , selfishness and un sustainable exploitation of natural resources . Man has been living in fear or generating fear in others for too long with undue competition. Happiness and peace had become a rare commodity . Today we have a huge opport...
