Don't miss this opportunity whenever you are joyful!


#MyTakeaway 

Gurudev once said Puja is that which comes from पूर्णता (fullness). 

Yes we need to pray when we are in desperation. In troubled situations prayer is the only ray of hope. But many a times we miss on expressing our gratitude when things are all fine. And we miss the opportunity to pray in the most supreme form. 

A parent would be able to relate to this much better. When the child is not complaining or demanding a parent feels natural to give something to the child. Similarly when we are happy, joyful and content we are in position to recieve something much higher from Nature.

There is a reason why we seek blessings from elders. Because elders have fulfilled most of their desires, they are highly likely to be content. This level of contentment puts them in a position to bless. 

So this moment, let's close our eyes, and think of that one thing for which we have gratitude. It can be a simple fact that we have breathing body, we have someone to love. Let's experience joy as we express our gratitude. Take a deep breath in and breathe out.

Jai Gurudev

Happiness is tapping into the silence within


#MyTakeaway 

Mind chatters a lot. Its constantly jumping from one place to another. It's not very easy for mind to stay focussed somewhere. It's full of plans, anxiety, fear, regret, anger, frustration, complaints albeit happy thoughts too.

Whatever we are thinking, it's creating ripples in our mind. The nature of ripples is that they travel far and trigger movement somewhere else. So one thought triggers another thought and so on and so forth. Thai chain of thoughts most of the times drains us out.

The best part of this nature of mind is that at it's core, it's silent. Hence whenever we come out of meditation 🧘‍♂️ we feel calm. There are much less thoughts. And if we have just practiced Sudarshan Kriya, then without doubt there are no thoughts in your mind. 

Good idea to tap into that beautiful and happy silence at least once a day. It helps bring down the mind chatter and rejeunates us! 

What do you think? 

Jai Gurudev
