Secret of Relationship

Relationships

You can completely transform any relationship, no matter what it's like right now.

Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.

To transform every single relationship you have in your life:

Relationships

Fall in love with YOU!

Make lists of hundreds and hundreds of wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.

Know that you are perfect. Do not think any negative thoughts about you.

Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.

Focus on the wonderful things in every person. Look for only those things.

Do not blame or criticize anybody, ever.

Set an intention that you are going to see the best in everything and everyone.

Make your happiness the number one thing in your life. Happiness is an inside job.

Free yourself of the responsibility of trying to make other people happy. Respect and love them enough to allow them to take care of their own happiness.

Get your attention off those things in others that don't make you feel good.

Appreciate and love yourself in every moment you can.

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Love and respect yourself completely.

Know that you are perfect right now.

Secret of Money

Money

Money is magnetic energy. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings.

To become a powerful money magnet:

MoneyBe clear about the amount of money you want to receive. State it and intend it! Don’t think about how much you can earn, but how much you want to receive.

Fall in love with money. Most people do not love money, because they always feel that they don't have enough of it.

Visualize and imagine yourself spending all the money you want, as though you have it already.

Speak, act, and think from the mindset of being wealthy now. Eliminate thoughts and words of lack such as "I can't afford it", "It is too expensive".

Do not speak or think of the lack of money for a single second.

Be grateful for the money you have. Appreciate it as you touch it.

Make lists of all the things you will buy with an abundance of money.

Do whatever it takes for you to feel wealthy.

Affirm to yourself every day that you have an abundance of money, and that it comes to you effortlessly.

Appreciate all the riches around you, including the riches of others. Look for wealth wherever you go, and appreciate it.

Be certain that money is coming to you.

Love yourself and know that you are deserving and worthy of an abundance of money.

Remind yourself everyday that you are a money magnet, and ask yourself often during the day, am I attracting money now or pushing it away with my thoughts?

Always, always pay yourself first from your wage, then pay your creditors. In that single act, you are telling the Universe that you are worthy and deserving of more.

Repeat over and over every day, "I am a money magnet and money comes to me effortlessly and easily."

Write out a check to yourself for the sum of money you would like to have and carry it in your wallet. Look at it often.

Do whatever it takes to feel good. The emotions of joy and happiness are powerful money magnets. Be happy now!

Love yourself!
Wealth is a mindset. Money is literally attracted to you or repelled from you. It's all about how you think.

Inner Healing

“At step one, we become aware of an inner block. At step two, we
offer that block to God to be removed. Step three is the reward
step for our work. At step three, we simply open our minds to the
inflow of God's love, wisdom, and comfort.” - Inner Healing
The Three-Step Process: Self-Perception
a companion to Inner Healing by Dan Joseph
The three-step process, as outlined in Inner Healing, is a way of
opening to an inner experience of God’s love and support. The process
involves: (1) acknowledging some of our inner blocks, (2) becoming
willing to prayerfully release them, and (3) opening to an experience of
divine comfort and love. One simple way of describing the process is,
“Feeling to Thought, Release and Receive.”
Step One: Feeling to thought (or perception)
Here is a situation that is bothering me:
When I think about this problem, I feel _____:
(ex. angry, afraid, etc.)
I feel this way because I see myself as _____:
(ex. attacked, abandoned, etc.)
Step Two: Releasing the old
At step two, the aim is to release these thoughts and feelings to God.
You can offer your old perceptions to God like a bunch of packages.
You can say:
“God, I feel _____ and I see myself as _____.
However, I take ownership of those feelings and perceptions.
I give them to you - here they are.
Help me to exchange them for an experience of your love.”
Step Three: Receiving the new
Step three is the real goal of the process. Having identified some of
your distressing thoughts and feelings in step one, and having offered
them to God in step two, you can now open to the inflow of God’s
healing, transforming love. You can say:
“God, my mind is open. Please inspire a new view of this
situation and a new view of myself. Replace my distressing
feelings with a sense of your love. My heart is open to you.”
Then simply rest, openly and receptively, welcoming the inflow of
God’s love, comfort, and inspired new thoughts and perspectives.

Seven Spiritual Laws of Success By Deepak Chopra

Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success


Definations :

A law is the process by which unmanifest becomes the manifest, and the process by
which the dreamer manifests his dreams.
Success could be defined as the
'Continual Expansion of Happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals',
therefore
Success can be seen as the 'ability to fulfill desires with effortless ease'
'The ultimate true success would be the miraculous'



Law 1 - Law of Pure Potentiality
The source of all creation is pure consciousness...pure potentiality seeking expression
from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure
potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in the universe.

Law 2 - Law of Giving and Receiving
The universe operates through dynamic exchange...giving and receiving are different
aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which
we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.
Give something to everyone you meet e.g. not necessarily money, can be gift,
compliment, or silent blessing or prayer.
Be open to receive from others. Gratefully Receive gifts, nature, sunlight, snow etc.
Make commitment to Circulate, caring, appreciating and loving

Law 3 - Law of Karma
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind...what we sow is
what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others,
the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.
Witness Choices in each moment - fully conscious / aware in the moment
Evaluate Consequences of your choices - will choice bring happiness to those around me
Listen with your Heart -ask your heart for guidance - be guided - look for feeling of
comfort / discomfort

Law 4 - Law of least effort
Nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease...with care freeness, harmony, and
love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and
good fortune with effortless ease.
Practice Acceptance - accept people as they are - know that this moment is as it is
supposed to be
Take Responsibility for actions, not blaming others/ things
Have your awareness in Defenselessness - no need to persuade others - don't be attached
rigidly to one point of view

Law 5 - Law of Intention and desire
Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment...intention and
desire in the field of pure potentiality, have infinite organizing power. And when we
introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite
organizing power to work for us.
Present Moment Awareness - slip into silence
List Desires - keep them to yourself
Release your desires to the Universe - relinquishing attachment and outcome

Law 6 - Law of detachment
In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty...in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the
freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in
our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender
ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.
Commit self to Detached Involvement - no rigid or forced solutions
Wisdom of Uncertainty leads to freedom -
Open to Infinite Possibilities of choices and outcomes

Law 7 - Law of Dharma
Everyone has a purpose in life...a unique or special talent to give to others. And when we
blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation
of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.
Discover the Higher Self - beyond and above ego - spend time in silence
List Your Unique Talents - that lead to state of bliss
Serve Others - ask yourself how can I help? Rather than what's in it for me - share more,treat people like your brothers and sisters

Quotes from Indian Sanskruti by Guruji

Love

Love is not an emotion, it is your very existence.
Here are the signs of love. When you love someone, you see nothing wrong with them.
When you love someone, you want to see them always happy and you want them to have the best.
Love is the highest strength, yet it makes you absolutely weak
Love cannot tolerate distance, and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.
You can experience love, but you cannot describe it or express it totally.
Love is beyond sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound.
When there is Love, there is no ego; ego dissolves like the dew drops with the sun.
In the company of one who is living Love, you also cant but spring into that Love.
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with.
Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.
The seers, the seen, and the process of seeing all merge. The knowledge, the knower, and the known, they all merge, become one & that is Divine Love.


Anger

In ignorance anger is cheap and a smile is costly
Make your smile cheaper and you anger expensive.
The anger of the enlightened is a blessing







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Silence

Silence is the goal of all answers. If an answer does not silence the mind, it is no answer
Only Silence is complete
Smiling with all the existence is Silence
Purpose of words is to create silence.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

GOD

When you know you own God you will not be in a hurry to get something out of God.
When you have infinite patience, you will realize God belongs to you.
God does not test you because he knows you completely - your past, present and future
God is calling you every moment.
God is the Seer himself. Who sees---that is God
God is love. Being in love is sharing that love.
This entire universe is made up of God. There is nothing outside God.
God is responsibility, total responsibility.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Knowledge

Be a Gopal. Be a friend in knowledge
Be a friend in knowledge. Uplift each other in knowledge
Knowledge is a burden if it does not set you free.
Knowledge keeps everything fresh.
In science you have knowledge first, and then faith follows. In spirituality, faith comes first, and then Knowledge follows.
When you follow fun, misery follows you. When you follow Knowledge, fun follows you.
Illusion is error of perception and knowing illusion as illusion is Knowledge.
Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.
For one who has awakened in knowledge, there is no more suffering.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

The Spiritual Master / Guru

The master is a doorway
The master is presence. The world is relativity and relativity has limitations. Presence is unlimited.
If you are not feeling close to the master, it is because of you, because of your mind, because of your ego concepts.
A master is like an ocean. Ocean is there, readily available. It does not reject anybody.
If a Master is not hollow and empty, he is no Master at all.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Surrender

Do not say that you want to surrender. Just know that you already are surrendered.
A person who cannot surrender cannot be self reliant
When you are shaken, remember the foundation of responsibility is surrender.
The greatest power is in surrender, surrender to the Divine.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Sadhana

Root out boredom through deep and continued meditation
If you are unable to meditate because your mind is chattering too much, just feel that you are a little stupid, and then you will be able to sink deep into meditation
Meditation erases the impressions and improves the expression
Anytime you are confused, your mind is in conflict, do asanas, sit in asana. You will see, right away clarity comes.
Effect of asana is clearing out of all conflicts, duality.
The seed of negativity and the tendency for conflict in you can only be annihilated by Sadhana.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Satsang

Give quality time to the divine, it will be rewarded. Give satsang and meditation your highest priority
One who does not do satsang is like a wild animal. Satsang alone makes you civilized.
Satsang is the shelter from changing time and its harsh influence on life.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Freedom

Break through the barrier of the rational mind and find freedom for yourself
Freedom is your very nature. Only with freedom do joy, generosity and other human values blossom
Just an intention to be free makes you immediately free.
Discipline protects freedom. You can choose to focus either on freedom or discipline, and this makes you happy or unhappy.
Freedom without discipline is like a country without a defense.


------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Karma

When you praise someone, you take on their good karma. When you blame someone, you take on their bad karma
Performing actions cannot eliminate karma. Only through grace can the bondage of karma be burnt.
Prarabdha karma cannot be changed. Sanchita karma can be changed by spiritual practices.







------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Respect

Respect for the Self is faith and faith is being open
Have respect for the Self and no one can take your self respect
Someone does not need to be great in order to be respected. Respecting life makes you great.


------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Ego

The "I" or ego in you is a tiny atom
Ego is separateness, non-belongingness
The head level is safe for the ego. The heart level breaks the ego. The solve level dissolves the ego
The inability to communicate occurs because of ego
Someone experiences bliss, and that bliss, itself, becomes a trip for the ego. So the ego, in turn, destroys the infinity, the joy, the bliss.



------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Death

Divinity dwells in the void as well as in celebration.
Death brings you in touch with the reality of life.
Wake up an see your life is too short. The realization that life is short will bring dynamism to your life.



------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Breath

Breath is the link between your body and your spirit and your mind


Miscellaneous




Drop all the divisions (of the mind), altogether. This is what is holding you back from enlightenment. This is what is holding you back from your very nature. Drop those right now.





Your own judgement brings the barrier, separates you, makes you behave so funny. When you are judging, you are judging your own self, but you are super-imposing it on this, or this, or this, or this, or this.





The entire universe is just an expression, projection, of the Being, of the Self.
Within this small body, you are able to experience the infinite space.


Though enlightenment is one in the world, there are many different flavors.


A poor man celebrates the new year once a year. A rich man celebrates each day. But the richest man celebrates every moment.


Abiding in the self you become the valentine for the whole world. Spirit is the valentine of matter and matter is the valentine of the spirit.


Enlightenment is beyond seasons like the evergreen coconut tree.


The world appears imperfect on the surface but underneath, all is perfect. Perfection hides; imperfection shows off.


Sincerity is being in touch with your Depth.


A big Mind that is God. And your mind is part of that big Mind.


You are total. You are full. You have all that you need. Do not underestimate yourself.


A devotee will never fall. He cannot fall. There is no chance for it.


Abundance is a state of mind within you. If you just look at "lack," the lack increases in life.


The best "puja," the best form of worship, is to be happy, to be grateful.


Over-indulgence in anything reduces the beauty.


Behind every activity, pleasant, unpleasant, chaotic, harmonious, is one Divinity.


Basing your life on words is very superficial.


Whatever you want for others will happen to you.


See a mistake as a mistake, not as "my" or "his" mistake. "My" means guilt; "his" means anger.


"Want" is always hanging on to the "I." When the "I" itself is dissolving, "want" also dissolves, disappears.


See, ninety percent of this body is only space, and space, and space. And what is in this space? That is mind; that is consciousness; that is intelligence.


Without being critical, the intellect cannot progress. But that criticism should not come from the heart; it can come from the throat.


If any has to be given, this is the blessing that has to be given: "Be devoid of feverishness. "


The Self is the center of the whole creation.


If you are passionate, be passionate for the highest, the most wonderful, the most beautiful. Be passionate for this entire creation-everything is so beautiful


Truth cannot be understood through proof. Anything that can be proven can be disproven also. Truth is beyond proof or disproof.


Take a while and just relax. Repose in the depth of your being.


Forgetfulness is one of the greatest blessings.


Events cannot stick on to you. You are like the pure crystal. Niranjanah-- -untouched, unstained by anything.


Beauty has three levels: indication, expression, and exposure. Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.


You are Divine. You are part of me. I am part of you.


Life is a package of surprise gifts for you.


When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. It is always so. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.

Success

In India if you go to any village in a car, the village dogs will chase your car. They will chase you with all they have got, with full energy and vigour. They will try to overtake your car. And seeing this if you slowdown a bit or stop the car because you have reached your destination, they suddenly get to overtake you. They overtake you and see that the car is stopped; now they don’t know what to do. So they look really stupid.

This is something similar to the attitude of a person who wants to win. Why do you want to win?

Suppose you become so skilful that you win each and every debate, and then what will you achieve?

Will it help you grow as a person, as an individual ?
