Shud I dislike my likes or like my dislikes???

If Guruji (or God) comes and tells you, "I am going to bless you with a 'Siddhi' (a power) which will enable you to, either overcome your dislikes or go beyond (be free from) your likes. Choose one"; what will you choose?

If you are wise you will choose the latter! Surprised!?

Just give it a deeper thought. Whenever you dont like something, it is because of something you like. Eg.: If you dont like people who use foul language, it is because you like soft spoken and polite people. If dont like messy rooms, it is because you like things to be neat and tidy.

It is not always possible to change a situation or person or run away from a situation or person. So the way of the wise is transceding the likes, dropping the likes; and the dislikes are taken care of automatically, because the foundation of every dislike is a like.

Taking the dislikes in your stride is ACCEPTANCE,
dropping the likes is realising that OPPOSITE VALUES ARE COMPLEMENTARY and
dropping the tendency of harbouring likes and dislikes is SURRENDER.

Isn't it awesome? Did you like it?

Love & Jai Gurudev

Session with Bawa-n-Dinesh in Delhi on 21Jan'09

Image
I am sure it must have happened sometime in your life, you are walking on the street, just passing a cake shop, and you slow down wondering whether you should give in to the temptation and indulge, you have almost decided not to, and a gentle breeze parcels a whiff of sweet aromatic air right into your nose! You almost taste the black forest with cherries or a wlanut almond or a pineapple watermelon with roasted cashew toppings....yuummmmm....Now you are left with no choice. In the next couple of minutes you are walking out of the shop licking the melting chocolate off your fingers :-) Bawa and Dinesh visited Delhi for a couple of days and all of the above happened, metaphorically and actually too! And their session on the 21st evening was like that - a gentle whiff packed with a lot of goodies. Knowledge Bawa said Guruji explained dispassion beautifully. He said, a desire to have any pleasurable experience springs up when you see or hear something about it. This desire or craving is c...

Shyam mila de...Radhe Radhe :)

Image
We have a very famous bhajan in The Art of Living. "Nikunj me biraaje Ghanshyam Radhe Radhe", a song from the KRISHNA album. The lyrics of this song give such wonderful knowledge. The song says, "Nikunj me biraaje Ghanshyam Radhe Radhe,  Ghanshyam Radhe Radhe tu Shyam se mila de,  Radhe Radhe, Shyam mila de,  Shyam mila de, Radhe Radhe" Meaning: The 'Best' way to get to the man is through his girlfriend/wife. So, if you want to meet Krishna go through Radha or become Radha. So who is this Radha? What is this Radha? Where is this Radha? Can I get her phone no. or atleast her email id? Can I add her as a friend on facebook?  :-) Ok. Ok. Relax! Don't Panic. Whatever is happening to you right now is 'DHARA'.   The mind is pulled by the five senses. The eyes want to see. The ears want to hear. The nose wants to smell. The tongue wants to taste. The skin wants to touch. This mind flowing outwards is DHARA. And RADHA is the reverse, the mind flowing inw...

Kishore Kumar gives YES!+ Intro Talk in IIT Delhi

We were campaigning for YES!+ in IIT Delhi. Around 5 pm we took a break, sat to have maggi and biscuits at a Nescafe joint. And grace manifested as a spontaneous musical message. Of course its a very old famous Bollywood number (originally sung by Kishore Kumar), but the adaptation turned out just perfect! Watch it here: JHUMROO TALKS Cheers Saleel
