Dear friends and devotees,

 

Bhakti is eternal.

 

In continuation of my yesterday's message, I am herewith giving the 25

ways (one after another) to rejuvenate one's life, suggested by, Pandit

Sri Sri Ravisankarji, on the eve of begining of this year, which I

consider, to be very informative to all...

 

1. Review the context of your life.

 

Look at your own life in the light of time. Millions of years have

passed and millions will come. What is your life? 60,70 or 100 years?

Span of life is insignificant. It is not even a drop in the ocean. In

terms of space you simply don't exist! This understanding dissolves the

ego. Ego is ignorance of your reality, ignorance of your existence.

Now, just to know this, do we have to do something else? Just open your

eyes: " Who am I? How I am on this planet? What is my life time? "

Awareness dawns in the mind, and you will stop worrying about little

things like, " this person said this thing to me and that person broke

away with me and this happened with that person and I am going to say

this.... " All smallness will simply drop away, and you will be able to

live every moment of your life.

 

Your life reals around your context. You should be happy in life. All

other businesses involve ups and downs which is very natuaral. If there

is a body, then it will get cold, cough, fever or something else and it

will go away. But take care to see that happiness is always established

in you. That is known as purashaartha. Our love, faith and belief

should be deeprooted, then everything else moves on its own. How many

events take place in life! Are you able to maintain your equanimity

always? Not everything in the world is sweet. If you are grounded with

faith, like the husk with grain, you will progress.

 

Take this decision: " Whatever happens I will be there, I will be

grounded. God's protection is there on me. Whatever happens, I will

never go down. I always have God's hand with me. " Keep your mind in

peace in all situations. Tlhe rest will be taken care of. You have to

take atleast one step forward, which is to be in peace and equanimity.

" Oh! Nothing happened. Nothing of my work happened. " If you are able

to laugh in such a situation, then understand that you have protection

with you! The world is filled with love. Everybody has love inside

them. You have to see that in your mind.

 

Your head will be in the mud in a few years;don't put mud in your head

while you are still alive! If you review the context of your life, the

quality of your life will improve.

 

2. Know life's impermanence.

 

See the impermnence in this life. That is truth. Turn back and see

that all that you did is like a dream. All have passed, the whole thing

is finished. Tomorrow will pass. Now and then, a pinch of

unpleasantness comes. It makes you aware of your pleasantness. Suppose

you never had unpleasant moments in life, you would never have pleasant

ones. Your life would stagnate in utter boredom and you would become

like a stone. So, in order to keep you alive, now and then, here and

there, nature gives you a little pinch. It makes life more lively.

Accept it.

 

You don't have to be afraid in life. there is always support. So,

every plinch that you are having in life is for the best, to make your

life more lively and enjoyable. Day and night you work so hard. The

whole week is spent working, coming home tired, eating, going to bed.

The same routine the next day. Weekends have become another routine.

 

If you're awake, then you see there is so much foolishness! Just watch

when four or five people get together and have a gossip session. In a

gossip session, you can immediately change the topic of conversation.

This is the thing with a crowd. If ten people are talking about the

weather and you change the topic to stock markets everybody will

immediately talk stock markets, whether they know about them or not. It

is a great fun.

 

Being aware of this impermanent nature of our life, you find that there

is something in you that has not changed. There is a reference point by

which you can say things are changing. That reference point is the

source of life. That is wisdom. With wisdom, your life improves.

 

to be continued....

 

With regards to all.

 

Yagnanarayana Sasty.
