Light of Prosperity……………

I use the word Wealth for Money. Virtually Money is a medium through which wealth is created. Money can give you all that you want. You can purchase almost everything in life baring few with the power of money. You cannot purchase love, compassion, character, inner peace, freedom, spiritual experiences. It reminds me of college days having learned the definition of Money in Economics as ‘Money is what Money does… ‘

Man without money is zero. To be rich is your Fundamental right. All the religions, spiritual masters they love to condemn money. They say money is bad, money is evil and money is cause of sorrow. But, fact of life is, if money is circulating freely in your life you are financially, economically, monetary healthy.

Today is the most auspicious day of Dipavali i.e. Lakshimipujan. This falls on Amavasya a dark night. Lamps, lights, Oil lamps are lit in the evening to welcome, receive the goddess Lakshimi. The goddess Lakshimi likes cleanliness, she enters those houses which are cleanliest first i.e. is the reason by tradition everyone keeps their house clean to receive her grace. Each time lord Vishnu has descends to mother Earth she accompanied him. She is the embodiment of Beauty, strength, dignity, glory, wealth, graciousness & prosperity.

You are here to live balance life. All the comforts, desires, wants and all troubles can be managed with the power of money.  If you condemn money, if you say money is evil how can you prosper, how can you be wealthy?

Before invention of money horse was exchange for cow, milk was exchange for rice. Barter system existed prior to emergence of Money. Money is a medium of exchange. Money is now in different Currencies. Currencies called Dollar, Rupee, GBP, Yen, and Euro. All the Currencies are traded in exchange market as commodities. Currencies may differ but usage of money does not change.

Money gives you comfort. Money gives you security. Money has its own mechanism. One man’s expenditure is another man’s income. Other man’s income is another man’s expenditure. This goes on and goes on. Velocity of money creates more money. Old proverb is Money Saved is Money Earned. In a way it is true through saving Capital is created. Capital is required for wealth creation.

Money creates wealth. With emergence of money man has made lot of progress. Man has built factories, created jobs, and developed all sorts of richness. Without money existence becomes difficult & life becomes anguish. 

I repeat Money is not bad. Money is not God. Money is symbol of Prosperity, Wealth, and Richness. Money is not your sole aim. Money is not everything. It is a means to create financial prosperity. There is no virtue in Poverty. Wealth is distributed there is equitable distribution of Wealth and not of Poverty. Everyone admires to inherit prosperity, Wealth and not Poverty.

Unless person is talented genius he cannot create wealth for self and others. Richness is multi dimensional. Richness is not counted how much money you hoard in bank balances.

Eastern philosophy talks about renunciation of everything you had to reach ultimate truth. Only affluent can renounce. Poor person has nothing to renounce. Renunciation is for those who have collected all experiences in life. Poor has not lived the life with full glory. What he has to renounce?

All the religions Gurus, self proclaimed Masters hammer on their disciples that money is bad. Money is stumbling block in pursuit of spiritual well being. This is totally wrong and negative interpretation of scriptures. There is no virtue in Poverty.Tell me what way Poverty brings Enlightenment.

Jesus said that a Camel can pass through the eye of a needle but Rich man cannot pass through the gate of Heaven. It is reminder to those who earned money and created wealth through exploiting, sucking the blood of the people & corrupt means. The sick mind says all those who are rich, wealthy must have committed crime to earn richness.

Now a day globally financial markets are very alert about source of money coming in to banking system. There is Anti Money Laundering Act passed by almost all the countries. Money acquired and used for Extortion, Terrorist activity Drug Trafficking is Dirty Money. Banking system should not allow laundering & washing of this dirty money. This is at macro level but at micro level one can earn as much money he desires and to his Capacity by fair means. It is your right. But it comes with rider, certain Ethics & dignity.

Sixteenth Century Marathi Saint Tukaram has said in his Abhanga that   Earn money with rightful/good deeds/dignity.

                  Jodave  Dhan Utaam Vevahare  !

Message of Lakshimipujan is loud& clear even at darkest situations in life inner light should guide me & ignorance should vanish. Not only keeping the house clean on this auspicious day but all my acts and dealings shall be clean. This is the prayer we are offering to the Goddess Lakshimi. We are here to grow prosper, and unfold spiritually & mentally & materially. Let this Lakshimipuja leads us to this path.

Happy Dipavali

Thought Dynamics…..

Thought Dynamics…..

Mind is the functional aspect of Brain.  So to say Brain is the hardware &mind is the software working on it. Our thinking originates from mind stuff that creates thought.

A light travels at the speed @186000 miles per second, thoughts travels virtually at no speed.

Thought good or bad once cross the mind, it becomes vibration & start oscillating.

Thought has tremendous velocity, power& travels in every direction.

We are surrounded by Ocean of thoughts.

Is   Thought   a Matter?

Yes, Thought is a Matter. Matter is define as anything that has Mass, Weight, Volume, Colour &   that occupies Space. 

Our thought has all these qualities hence it is a Matter.

At Quantum level it behaves as Particles & Waves also. Uncertainty principle applies to our thought in different context.

Thoughts have tremendous power& also has pattern. Every time you harbor   a thought it gets charged with emotions. Once thoughts moves away from mind stuff it become potential to realize.

After initial projection of thoughts they float in atmosphere like cloud in the sky& Mixed with the similar thoughts. Thoughts remain in active existence whether a person is alive or his thoughts have changed taken U turn. It oscillate get connected to similar thoughts, gets empowered & right actions leads to fructification of thought.

Velocity of the thoughts depends upon the Pranic force with which the thoughts are projected Weak thoughts lose its momentum. Thoughts loaded with negative emotions, ill will hate remains at ground level and becomes dense at particular locality. Atmosphere filled with negative thoughts, negative Aura many a times disturb us. If you meet persons with healthy thought creates positive   impact and our thinking also get influenced.

Thoughts can heal disease, transform mentality of person/persons, can do anything and can work wonders. It is a dynamic force, a great force, it moves, it creates. 

Many times we project a thought or create a thought .But we have question mark? We have Doubt, suspicion & fear that what we have projected may not happen. Our thought boomerang .The velocity and vibration of such thoughts is prominent we lose the battle. That’s why it is said thoughts makes you or mar you.

Life is full of discrimination, disparity, and struggle success rate differs, we lose faith in our self, our own projections and with depleted energy you project thought. Your own thinking &thought pattern creates atrocities with you. Who is to  be blamed?

Understand few basics………..

Ordinary thought, you want to go to a mall or take a scroll .You went out took a scroll or visited a mall. You took action; thought got realized this is ordinary, simple working thought.

Desire thought, you desire this should happen, little force, even if it does not happen no problem, though not so potent.

Wishful thinking, I want to be billionaire, healthy no action, less than desire itself. Thought is at periphery.

A creative thought needs imagination, projection, clarity & proper force. All the thought dynamics explained above more so applies to creative thoughts, constructive thoughts & even to negative thoughts.

Having told you that thought is Matter.

Principles of Chemistry, Physic & Mathematics do apply.

Some thought or same thought may work as Catalyst as in a chemical reaction/s.

 All the three laws of motion of Newtonian Physic operates,

Thoughts can change the form.

For every thought there is equal & opposite reactions.

Law of thermodynamics does operate with our thoughts.

Law of attraction is simple arithmetic that works.

All thoughts evolve in time & space in the three dimensional world where we all live.

Our own negative pattern thoughts works as retrorocket, create stumbling block Procrastinate your thinking.

Keep envious, harmful thoughts away these have devastating power. Free yourself from mental conflicts. Be with yourself, be in silence, and connect your centre within.  Observe daily Meditative Practice .Your thoughts should originate from Trappings of Soul.

Remember every thought has Tendency to Realize. Projection is important.

Understand something about Meditation ……..

Understand something about Meditation ……..

       Dhyan   is a Sanskrit   word. There is no appropriate word in English.

Meditation is the most accepted word for Dhyan.  Word meditation   denote, connote that you meditate upon something. It indicates that you are concentrating on some thought or some object.That’s why meditation is  understood as concentration. Meditation is actually opposite of concentration.

         Here I am using word Meditation alone in dialogue with you

I ask you a simple question ‘Do you practice Meditation?’ I know for sure that each  one will say different.

Someone will prefer to say, I do not have time, I am too busy’.

Someone will say ‘  I am not too old to do meditation, after VRS.. I may think ’.

 Very few will say, ‘ Yes,   we do meditate ‘.

If I ask for those who Meditate,‘ What you do in meditation ? ’

 Answers will be ‘ I Chant a Mantra’  ‘I Offer  Prayer’ ‘ I Concentrate On something’

Let me, explain to you first   what not Meditation is.

Concentration on   jyoti   lamp is   a trataka & not Meditation.

Concentrating on any thought or an idea is contemplation & not Meditation.

Chanting a Mantra, a japa , helps you to concentrate but it is not Meditation.

 Controlling & manipulating breath is modified versions of Pranayam.

Twisting, turning, folding body in different angle is varied forms of Asana.

Listening to Melodious music helps you to relax and calm but is not Meditation.

Offering prayers of different forms may bring peace to you but is

not meditation.

Contemplation means directed thinking, Concentration means mind is focus on particular object or thing, meditation means no mind stage, mind does not exist, and mind is utterly empty.

People ask which meditation should they follow whether Vipashana  or Yoganidra or Shavasan? Whether Transcendental Meditation or  Zen meditation or Dynamic mediation or Chakra meditation.

 My dear friends, these are all different meditational practices. Steady posture,  early morning, fresh mind, pleasant atmosphere all produce conducive effect in Meditation .

Remember, you are not doing anything; nor desiring anything, neither aspiring anything nor it is about wanting anything. Not desiring anything is also a desire.

Just be there, be empty, and drop the contents of your mind. Go beyond

Mind, be with self. If you remain in the process of meditation alone and

Do not go beyond mind then as Saga Ashtavakra   says Meditation   would be Bondage.
