Elixir Words
You have probably heard that 'Love is God'. It is hundred percent true. If there is any greater achievement in human life, it is Love. In reality, what is Love is very rare hard to achieve. Love is perfect on its own. It needs nothing to be completed. If there is any thing with Love, it does not become a Love because Love turns every otherness that is with it to Love. There is no precondition for love. If there is wishes and attachment, it is not love. It is a lust and attachment. Love free from attachment and lust becomes devotion. The impure form of love is attachment and the purer form of it is devotion. The purer form of it makes us a devotee and links us to God; so we say, ' Love is God'. There does not exist ego in love and love is there where there is no ego. There is God where there is Love. Hence, Love and God are synonyms. To achieve Love is to achieve God. Love always knows giving, it does not beg. God too always gives, never asks, so Love and God are same.

We should think more positively, optimistically, and courageously, and then it will become a habit, for everything is created by the mind.
You have to reprogram your thoughts, reform your action. Otherwise even if you have wisdom, Guru's blessings and the strength to make it be successful, you will still be timid and worry, and think that you cannot do it because of your old habits.
You don't have to earn more money; you just have to know how to live your life, because you have only one life, this life. Whether I speak the truth or not, whether you have Heaven or not, or you have reincarnation or not, this life is all you know. If you don't manage well, you cannot live freely and you cannot feel happy about it. You have to do what you really want, and what is good for you.
Within bad there exist good. Just like roses have thorns, we can't always look at the thorns, we must gaze at the rose.
Everyday is a miracle to us, and we're happier and more loving everyday. That is the best gift of God.
Consciousness
Consciousness is life. The first stage of life is visible in gross matter and minerals. Though look lifeless, within each matter take place atomic activities. Even gross matter are created they develop and are destroyed. This process is faster in living beings but too slow in matters. Whether a rock is young or old is easily found. Learned easily identify their stages. Like with living beings birth and death process is continuous in matters. Like the eternity of the soul the atomic existence and dynamism of a matter is eternal too.
Evolution is uninterrupted in every sector of the universe, nor is life free from it. Life is also moving forward with evolution process. It is going a step ahead every time in the form Tama Raja and Satwa. Tama is meant to be gross matter. There is life even in gross matter but it is in sleeping state. Micro organisms have better situations. They are active in soil, air and water. There exist uncountable living organisms in our body. They do not have organs and mind so they are also taken as gross. Plants have little better state than that of micro organisms. They are also gross but surge of life is visible in them. The whole expansion of the world is gross material world. Water is matter but the science is aware of life in it. Each of the five elements is full of their own kind of consciousness. They can be taken as undeveloped life in passivity.
The state higher than this is Rajas. Life in this class possesses organs and show clear movement. Numerous terrestrial and aquatic animals counted in this class. Insects, birds, reptiles etc. fall in this category. There is life higher than this, which are invisible life the microorganisms. They are the deities, the divine spirits, the enlightened angels etc. They sometimes take body form and sometimes discard it. In bodiless form they can perform great important work in the world with their vital power. They give instructions and inspire good people in many ways. But when they ought to live and work with common people and guide them towards the highest meaning of life or as they ought to establish a tradition they take an incarnation and amazingly work as a messenger of God. Not as a helpless being in the wheel of life and death bounded by action and reaction they take birth, but they come down to earth to fulfill the need of time to elevate people and society and they go back after they fulfill their goal.
There is a consciousness higher than this which is developed to Sattattwo. It is visible both in body form and bodiless form. The one involved in the practice of purification of self is called sadhaka and the one who has accomplished it is known as Sadhu the saint. Sadhaka lives with family and is involved in promotion of knowledge. But saints are not limited to the responsibilities to his family but to the whole world. Their affinities to others become unlimited. They greatly give importance to welfare to the world and are involved in inspiring to elevate the society. Their activities are superior. Like cloud they shower over indiscriminately. They are never tied by the net of greed and attachment. They are the great soul. They are the super men. The body formed deities are known as sages, saints, martyrs. They are also called god of the earth.
There are two factors-nature and being or Tama and Satwo. The current that flows as the two get fused is called Rajas. Dynamism is the result of union of two currents. As the two points of electric current are separate nothing happens but as they meet current flows. Rajas are the result of the union of the two. It has no its existence in isolation.
The movement of progress goes upward from down. So life goes from Tamas to Rajas then up to Swatwa. It is usual and ideal too. If a being always adopts this process it is admirable. It is meaningful if a being from a humble birth progresses upward to superior and superior birth to human being and still more to the stage of great soul, sages and the supreme soul.
There is domination of different degrees of virtues, fortunes, passiveness, readiness and greatness in a man. It is the revelation of Tamas, Rajas and Swatwa. Through self analysis we can identify whether we are disposed to brutality, humanity or to divinity. It is wiser to break our limitation and go forward daringly and reach the highest goal of a being.

Meditation
Meditation is the process to go inward to oneself. When it is performed there remains nothing, everything disappears. Neither form nor formlessness is required for meditation. Form does not appear in meditation. Forms are our own making. We have not seen Lord Ram, we have read of him in Ramayan and we made a picture of Him on this basis and gave a name to the image. We can not create a situation of meditation through form. Those who accept formlessness grasp light form and as they close their eyes they find light around and take it to be meditation, it is not meditation, either.
Meditation is a process to go far away from intellect. Intellect actually creates differences between form and formlessness. The question of form and formlessness come with it, and deceitfulness and hypocrisy too exist there. Meditation is the process to get into the self. The moment when man is in the state of perfect meditation nothing outside gives him any comfort. Not only that, every achievement dances like his puppet.
One does not have to be from a particular creed, religion, race and tradition; simply he has to be a man. He has to go beyond his mind and intellect. Among thousands, only few are courageous to follow the Guru's footsteps. Very few understand the meaning of His words and get inspired. They activate the Guru's real sentiment and real speech within themselves and start the job. Arjuna thought lord Krishna an ordinary person. But as He put him in trance he realized that He is not an ordinary person. Similarly if a genuine Guru wants He can put any person in that state of deep trance. The moment a disciple forgets himself and merges his self into the Guru's He takes him to the stage, which is the stage of super consciousness.
If you are afraid you will go slowly and if you are courageous you will make a great leap and reach. If you are fearful you will hesitantly give your hand to Guru to be led but if you are determined you will surrender everything to Him and feel free from all anxieties. How far you open yourself depends on yourself. The depth you measure depends on your courage. There is peculiar pleasure in diving into the depth of meditation and it has its own beauty. The gloss of face increases simultaneously with the increase in practice. Closer the disciple to get in union with Guru, clearer He will appear to him. Whether to accomplish perfect union or simply leave incomplete depends on disciples.
The moment the Guru decides to elevate His disciple to the supreme position He will ignore all impurities and put him in deep trance. The process to it is very difficult. Only the way to it is to surrender to Guru completely. Before it happens Guru tests disciples hundreds of times, like a piece of gold that is put in fire and beaten many times before moulding for crown, which adorn a deity too. The Guru too purifies a disciple through service, sacrifice, penance and surrender.

Our Own World
We should search the greatness in the world we live in. there is humbleness visible everywhere in the world. Immorality, defeat, and decay are born and they grow like flies and mosquitoes but useful beings ought to be searched with joys. Evil dispositions inclines towards devils and a virtuous cultured persons are always in minority. Further, more, the impression of greatness is not as far and wide as of evil. Water always flows downward. In the same way, men's brutal attitudes not only push them downward but also attract towards them.
Narrowness and selfishness is dominant at present. Instead of heading towards nobility, men involved more in humble deeds. Men are more interested in current profit than making the future though they ought to perform immorally. The situations are as such that dishonest seems to be more prosperous. Truly speaking, most are attracted towards easy benefit than honest means, which needs patience and farsightedness. We have such situations everywhere. This surely impresses us. Imitating the majority is our great fallacy, which can hardly be checked.
if we really want to move towards greatness, if we are to make nobility our mission, we must create a kind of inspiring environment. We feel the impression where there is this situation. Anyone in touch with greatness is inspired and it shows some significant change in him or her. We can see dozens of examples of those seeking for instant benefit to push the future into darkness. There are so many who spend what they earn in addiction. In addition, wicked heirs will abuse the rest.
Only the wealth and properties are useful which is earned by honest means and is used for welfare of the world. Now contemplate yourself over this matter and be active to create such environment. The best way is to use the precious moments of life in such a way so that it would be imitable to others and for oneself it would keep the spirit high, which everyone in the society would admire. It would give everyone the divine joy. All these things are possible only if we go ahead along with admiration of greatness. Remember, this opportunity is available to those who have in themselves created an ideal world full of inspiration.

How to Become Impressive
Among the required qualities for the achievement of the success intended, impressiveness is very important. In lack of this quality, one cannot make his position in the society even if he has other assets.
Most people want to achieve this by means of money but fail with lack of impression in their personality. Most learned people with their weak impression power fail in interview. Even if they win the post by some other cause, poor impressiveness affects them in many ways. Therefore, impressiveness is very important for success in life. Life devoid of impression is just meant to lead uninteresting desperate life.
People with impressive personality easily attract others towards them. With this quality, they become popular in their community. People admire and respect them wherever they go, and they accomplish the work they are for. What can obstruct the success of the one who the society loves and who the society desires? But such impressiveness is not obtained simply by a built body nor by its beautiful form, nor by wealth and properties, nor by any comfort of life. Some qualities and conducts are the basis of this impressiveness, which show its luster in his personality. It is not something exceptional which is unachievable. It can be achieved, learned, and flowered in oneself, which can be created in oneself with care. Some qualities are mentioned below.
1) Respect good qualities in others :
It is very important to evaluate and respect others' good qualities. Everyone in the world has one or other good qualities. It is impossible that one is hundred percent bad. Mostly people notice others' drawbacks and point out them. They ignore the good qualities in them and are more enthusiastic in criticizing and talking about their bad qualities but they become silent and have narrow perception towards their good qualities. In fact, we should rather talk in the same spirit about their good qualities than look at the drawbacks.
Wise people are natural in behavior. They would rather pay attention to good qualities. They try to forget the evils in others. If they ought to talk, it is not as scandal but as his lack of awareness. Yet it is not as reactionary but to give creative impression. If one starts with his good qualities and talks about his drawbacks it inspires him to be reformed. The one reformed by this means foremost becomes his devotee.
2) Compassion :
Social Compassion is mostly assistant to increase a man's impressiveness. Mostly people extend their compassion up to his relatives. They are selfish indeed. The benefits of it given to our own relatives eventually come round towards us. It is special only in the case that we give our compassion far and wide to strangers and even to our foes and friends equally.
It is natural that we get back compassions four ours to others. Wider one extends it, more he receives from others. Some people alone give their compassions to others and get more and more in return. In the exchange the one with compassion will always be in plus. He becomes lovely to all. Thousands of people give helping hands to such people. This quality naturally uplifts him, whom everyone loves, wishes for and his impression extends far and wide.
A generous man's relation with other people is always established because of his compassion and politeness. He speaks to others politely, respects all, and these things are not for any selfishness. His generosity surely gives peace and comfort to others. Generosity inspired by selfishness is disclosed in no time. Even a child can discover this. The feelings of service and compassion should be present in real generosity. A generous man deals politely, with love and sweetly to others and they show readiness to serve others. They not only express their verbal sympathy to people in disaster, but also help by all means. The real form of dealing generously with a patient is also to ask him about his illness and help to relieve him as far as possible.
3) Reliability :
One most beautiful base of impressiveness is truthfulness. A sincere person behaves sincerely with people in the society. He is what he expresses. This makes him reliable in the eyes of society. Men share their sorrows and happiness with him freely and they trust for his advice and direction. They share with him every humble matter. They trust him as mediator in any argument and quarrel, and respectfully accept his advice. Men by heart help him in his crisis. Only reliable people with truthfulness and sincerity have such impressiveness
4) Feelings of respect to others :
Protection of others' respect too is a part of empowering impressiveness. Naturally, in every man there is ego-may be in the form of pride, or in the form of haughtiness. People of every kind, class and strength expect some kind of respect. It is also true that the rich and the powerful have more expectation to be admired and served as a drawback. But common people do not have such weakness, however they expect there would not be any humiliating behavior towards them.
5) Moral quality :
Impressiveness does not go up only owing to wisdom, money, knowledge or power. It increases by means of moral quality. If this quality is empowered, he becomes impressive even if he has no other material means. But in addition, if he is learned and if he has wealth and properties he can handle the leadership of the society. Impressiveness in a society grows with compassion, good conduct and good action, not only by material means. Better the conduct and behaviors more impressive he becomes.

The Role of Mind in Human Body
The human body is not the highest creation of the God because He did not create the body with the highest ingredients in His possession. Rather, different elements found in the nature were assembled and it took a human body form. In the same way other beings and plants took the particular form. Every element found in the nature is found in a human body. So a mass body is the universe. We can understand the universe through a human body.
A human body is the result of the will of the mind of the supreme soul. Every element in the universe was in chaos, which were embodied form of the unexpressed nature. Then they took the forms of sky, air, fire, water and earth. These all are the different forms of the same solid nature, which is the form of the power of consciousness. In a single word it is called the solid nature. As the life force of the consciousness unifies pulsation or action begins, which brings life into lifeless nature and the nature appears to be living. The only cause of life in matter is the vital air. The vital air is the power of the consciousness but not the consciousness itself. In the creation, all the jumbled elements are organized and given different forms by the mind. It is called Brahma in macro form, which becomes the cause of creation and in micro form in each individual it creates body as well as it becomes the cause of all activities. The base of the function of the mind is its will power, which is an attribute of the consciousness power. As will power awakes in consciousness then it is given the name Mind. And as the mind is willful in the way it is committed to create a body along with fulfilling its lustful desire, it attracts the similar elements from the universe towards its centre and unifies them and a seed formed mass is created. The seed with the influence of consciousness power develops in accordance with it. Development of body of all beings is caused by variation in the elements of the nature. If the elements are caused to change the form, this body will be different. At the beginning the act of organizing was carried out by the will power of the consciousness. And even at present it has become the cause of creation of all bodies. 'Chicken first or egg first' can only be answered by spiritualism. First with the will power of mind different material elements which were in subtle form were organized and consequently a seed, egg, was formed. The power of consciousness causes it to develop into chicken formed body. First the seed of all bodies are formed and the will of the Mind is the cause. The God did not make the body directly without creating the seed. Neither is it possible in the creation. Bringing variation in the elements in the seed, variation in the body form can be caused. The science has been practicing this facts many times at present. So the main cause of formation of human body is the will power of the mind, without which the elements in the nature can not be organized proportionately and a body is not formed. Therefore the formation of the bodies of all beings is not simply accidental. Preparing the seed, the mind creates a body according to its plan. The mind is not satisfied only by creating a body. It also controls all the functions of body. Mind also controls the current of life force in body. It flows as much power as any part of body requires. Blood circulation, respiration, bleeding in different parts of body is all under its control. Yogis can halt these activities by keeping their mind in complete rest. Development of the power of knowledge of spiritual consciousness is also carried out with it. It does not take place in the absence of will power of the mind. Another power of consciousness is Action-power, which is also controlled by Mind. Every plan of any bodily action is first sketched in mind, which are in turn expressed through action. No action can be done without the will of mind .so the mind is taken as an instrument. Thus organization of body, control over its parts, planning of any bodily actions, and bringing them out in action and all other functions are done by mind. But it gains its power from soul because gross matters are its constituents. They can not be self powered. The next function of mind is to collect the worldly experiences that each sense and action organs experience and to use them in due time. All these experiences are piled up in the sub-conscious mind. As it rises upon the conscious mind it is called memory. It is a form of mind. The function of storing all this information is done by different cells in mind. Mind is caused to be impure by egoistic attitude, lustful desire, attachment to material and sensual joys, social and worldly bondage etc. As one can not fulfill all of his desires so many complexities develop, which produces mental impurities. These impurities cause loss of control of mind and as the irregularity in flow of power throughout body occurs, different types of illness are born. So, mental impurities are the cause of most of the illness of our body.
Therefore creation of human body and its every function is under the control of mind. God and soul are the power of which Mind is in the most powerful form. Mind works as a bridge between body and soul. One can not realize the self until he or she goes across this bridge. A man is not a gross matter. He is consciousness. Consciousness, that is to say, soul is his real form. Mind becomes only the obstruction on the way to its realization and as it is lustful it entangles him in the web of illusion and he is lost. So one who really wants to realize his self and the existence of the God should come out of this web of illusion and go ahead. Only the way to realize it is by knowing the mind having complete control over its disposition. This leads mind to calmness passive and only then we can see the real reflection of the soul.
Men can not see the reflection of the moon in shaken water. In the same way one can not behold the real form of the soul as the mind is restless with different dispositions. Meditation practice is the way to control the restlessness of the mind. Accomplishment of yoga is possible through it. According to Maharshi Patanjali, restrain of the disposition of the mind is Yoga. Any code of conduct and practices prescribed by any religions are aimed at having restrained over the mind to dispose towards impurities. We need not achieve the God. He is already there residing in the form of soul. Only the thing to be done is to remove what has covered it. The coverings are not solid. They are subtle, which can be removed with the help of meditation. So, meditation is the only means to realize the soul. There are different ways of meditation. One should observe strictly the purity in food and conduct and maintain discipline.

This Era Needs Righteous Thought
Why are men so sorrowful if they have everything they want? Why were the saints, sages and yogis in the past so blissful whereas they lived in caves and jungles and had roots and led life of scarcity? We need to know the main source, the way we think, to understand the mystery of it. Men are not able to change the situation according to the disposition of their mind, which is the cause that life is full of turmoil, grief discontentment though science has made a great progress.
What a man is and how his fate turns depends on the way he thinks. The root cause of his comfort, discomfort, peace turmoil, remorse etc is nothing other than his thought.
Thought contains unlimited power. It always inspires us to perform an action. If it flows towards righteousness it gives good result and the consequences are bad with with vicious thinking. The thought formed seed is so powerful that it sprouts if watered and growing into tree it gives fruits to all. Every great work in the world is resulted by one or few individuals' higher thinking. If a person goes into a cave and thinks and dies there while thinking, after some time it breaks the wall and comes out. It spreads all around and inspires everybody. So much power thought really posses! Then why are we so sad and lead a life of anxiety if we have such a powerful treasure of thought power? Why don't we make the fortune ourselves and be counted in the line of great persons? The answer of this question really hides all our solutions.
We are the answer of this question. Let's commit to create the power of thought that we follow the path of righteous thinking and benefit everyone with its good consequences of peace and joy. Let's blow the conch of thought-revolution and lead and teach action oriented life. With the kindness of God may you have power to create righteous thinking and have capability to share the good consequences along with the greatness of thought coupled with inspiration for righteous actions! Work is the foundation stone of knowledge and great work is originated from righteous thought. The knowledge achieved this way flow peace, joy and enthusiasm everywhere. May you have the power, may comfort and prosperity spread all around! I wish you all the best.
