What to do in a conflict?
Posted on: December 12, 2011
What do you do when there is a conflict in front of you? If it is between you and some other person, Guruji says that the best way is to ‘ignore’ it! That ways you save your mind..because there is no end to an argument anyways.. You can give one logic, and then another logic to refute it.. Logic and arguments meet no end! So save your mind and ignore any conflict, coz you anyways can’t resolve it!
What to do if you see two people in conflict? Guruji says that ‘Don’t give our advice unless asked for’ .. But He Himself gets involved in every conflict and jumps in as a mediator whether or not he is asked for help! It is so confusing!
Right now I am in a situation where I want to help the 2 sides but I don’t know how much I am needed..! Both parties are not transparent to each other and want me to act as the mediator. At the same time they are not open with me.. Oh my mind is in so much turbulence ! O my Master, please arrest this wandering mind, which always wants to ‘do’ something!
Jai Gurudev!
Being a Devotee…
Posted on: December 5, 2011
Being a devotee is very hard sometimes. I have put my faith in the abstract, there is this energy that is guiding me all the time. The Divine knows what’s best for me, what’s best for my evolution in this lifetime. And life moves on in that way.. But with my small mind, I sometimes find it very difficult to fathom the ways of the Divine. I am finding it very hard to take a step in the direction of the material world, because I am afraid that will pull me towards Maya.. At the same time the Master is not calling me to take a step in the Spiritual world as well.
No matter how hard I try, I am unable to find joy in the outside world now.. Don’t find any juice in it. At the same time, I have not yet explored the depths of the Self, enough to be established in it and remain unaffected.
Only the Master can help me out of this. Only the Master can show the way, how to take this left forward. The mind is torn between the known and the unknown. Only the Master, who has transcended both the known and the unknown can guide me right now.. What is the way to reach that state, in which I want nothing and I do nothing?
Lovely weather ..and some Knowledge

It is awesome weather!
Rain drops on the window always remind me of my childhood, when I used to lay on my bed, just watching them.. and my mom geing me hot tea!! wow.. can things get any better!
Kinshuk and me just took a little break from work, met up for a short break by the lawn, grabbed some hot chocolate.. and just sat.. looking at the lovely weather.. Its so amazing, how the weather automatically uplifts your mood..and makes you feel that expansion within… ! 🙂
No, we were not talking romance..:) We were indeed discussing Ashtavakra Geeta and the knowledge sheet about mind..
This is from what Guruji said today -:
Q: My friends expect me to drive them in my car, but then they drink.
They look at me differently. I don't understand why.
Sri Sri: It's very difficult to understand people's minds. So, you
better give up. They themselves don't understand their mind, so how can
you understand their mind? Do you understand your own mind?
The most unreliable thing in your life is your own mind. One minute, it
likes something, another minute it likes something else. So, your mind
goes all over the place. So, you cannot rely on your own mind. Once you
know this, you will laugh, you will smile. Never mind: why should I
control someone else's mind when my mind itself is not under my
control? Isn't it?
Our mind is a multi-channeled television. You know, there are so many
channels: the horror channel, history channel, discovery channel, news
channel and then there is a cartoon channel. All is happening!
A poet from Karnataka (a state in South India) wrote a very nice couplet
about the mind. He said: The mind is like a forest, with so many animals
in it. There are nightingales that sing very sweetly and there are
crows, and there are tigers, lions and there are mosquitoes. The same
way, your mind is a forest.
It's amazing, just to watch what our mind says. Nobody's mind is in
their control, we shouldn't expect everyone to behave like an
enlightened person. Unfortunately, that is what we do. We want everyone
to be perfect.
The world always considers you, sees you, much better than what you are.
And even the people don't see you the way you are, or the way you are
not. Never mind, why do you have to bother about it?
The brighter side..
