‘Time’ that we take for granted is fleeting. It passes by in an instant—unaffected by anything, unstoppable—seemingly waiting for none. But could it, quietly and silently, be playing the role of a watchful observer, as it witnesses us celebrate our joys and grieve over our sorrows? What about
our whimsical promises to become better individuals from the next day and then conveniently forgetting to adhere to our own words, are something that time has witnessed again and again – knowing very well how weak many of us are in reality ?

It seems to beam at us lovingly on seeing us wait impatiently for those auspicious, sacred, and sublime days when we welcome God into our homes—in whichever form He may be, whether as feminine or masculine divine energy—promising ourselves that we will become better than before, more awakened and more conscious.
It watches us, almost bemusedly, as during those days, in particular, we attempt to discipline ourselves and enter into a silent pact with the Divine—that we will steel ourselves to follow a routine, make an effort to exercise self-restraint, and perform the rituals required to invoke the Divine One’s blessings and Grace upon us. Keeping the ordained instructions in mind, we become extremely conscious of our ‘karma’. “हमारी सोच, हमारे विचार, हमारे बोलने का तरीका, दूसरों के साथ हम कैसा व्यवहार करते हैं, सात्विक भोजन ग्रहण करते हैं…”We succeed in bringing about quite a many changes in ourselves during such auspicious days.

So keen are we to please and placate the Divine—perhaps fearing that we may have incurred His displeasure in some way—that we worship Him with exemplary devotion. We may even dedicate a few extra hours while serving God with a sense of duty, expressing gratitude for all that He does and has done so far for us. All this unfolds with time watching us metamorphose into ‘different’ individuals during the entire duration of those auspicious days. But, then, why is it that many among us are unable to maintain this fervour, enthusiasm, and devotion once the celebratory spirit wanes off?

Time constantly sees how we manage ourselves as we rise and fall; the grace with which we handle our inner turmoil and meet the demands of the external world. It observes the way we live our lives—whether we treat life as a battle, living in constant worry and tension, or whether we live in a state of gratitude, thankful for every little blessing that He endows upon us.

The spiritual seeker must remember that there are no ‘holidays’ in worship and prayer. We cannot assume that we can be spiritual on six days of the week, but not on the seventh. We must strive to carry God in our thoughts at all times. Whether we are enjoying life, struggling with it, feeling bored, or feeling excited—the illusory nature of this world must not distract us from God. There is no ‘special time’ for God. He can and must be remembered everywhere. Consciously or subconsciously, we must strive to take His name in every breath and bow our heads to Him. That is the attitude a spiritual seeker must cultivate. This is what will truly help one realise the fickleness of this world and the permanence of God. It is only through constant remembrance and prayer that we come to understand that God does not need to be invited into our homes; rather, He is already everywhere—it is we who must learn to see Him.

Of course, it is good to celebrate festivals and observe long-standing rituals, but, it is incorrect to reserve only those days for God. Do we care for our children only on certain days of the month? Do we remember our parents only a few times in the year? Do we love them more on Diwali and less on other days? Then why should it be so with God?

Such behaviour reveals that we may have reduced our relationship with God to a transactional one. But God is not a vain deity whose ego needs to be appeased with offerings and prayers. God needs nothing from us. He is with us when no one else is. He is our strength in times of fear and our hope in moments of despair. We need Him; He does not need us. He pays attention to us even when we are distracted from Him.

Our only hope for liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth is to know and understand Him. And this cannot be achieved by treating Him like a distant acquaintance – but as The One who has made us a part of Himself and is present within us.

The lip-smacking glee that we experience, that wicked pleasure, that self-centred smugness, and the faintly malicious smirk that becomes visible on our face—“जब हम दूसरों को गलत साबित करने में, और अपने आप को किसी भी हालत में सही साबित करवाने की होड़ में लग जाते हैं…”— is an undesirable trait- widely prevalent among many of us.

It is perplexing to analyse the reasons that make us behave in such a pompous and authoritative manner , as though we have won a contest and been declared victorious. But victorious over what? The issue itself becomes irrelevant – as what seems to matter to us is whether we have emerged triumphant or not.

But why are we constantly engaged in this mental war with others? Even with our family and friends, we often find ourselves stating opinions and insisting that they are the truth. In fact, we seem to have rebuttals ready for anything said by others that contradicts us. To an outsider, it would appear that we are not conversing, but rather engaging in a heated verbal debate.

The opinions and perspectives that we hold and are willing to fight over- are as varied as the many aspects of life— politics, health, wealth, and relationships. We are ready to argue and prove ourselves right over anything and everything under the sun. Whoever has our ear, whoever we feel we can influence—we try to impose our views on them, without making an effort to understand theirs.

To be successful on the spiritual path, it is essential for us to check this behaviour within ourselves. But this is easier said than done. When we engage in such behaviour repeatedly, we are, in effect, feeding our ego and inflating our pride.

How then can one, who has all his life convinced himself that only he is right, open his mind and heart to others? How can he accept that he might be wrong, and that perhaps he does not have the complete understanding of what he speaks?

If this is the tendency within us, how do we correct it? It is essential to practise humility. When hearing someone say things that we do not necessarily agree with – we must first check our emotions. The urge to interrupt, the urge to disagree immediately, must be controlled. This in itself is a great practice to improve ourselves, for it enables us to observe and control the emotions that arise within us. We often realise that it is inexplicable, deep-seated anger and frustration that make us constantly disagreeable with others.

The next step is to learn to accept what is being said. It may surprise many of us that this is not as difficult as we think it to be. To simply nod in agreement, to try and see someone else’s point of view, does not mean that our ‘अस्तित्व’— our basis of existence— is erased. It means that we are accepting that someone else can hold a perspective different from our own. It means that we are accepting that their experiences have shaped their beliefs in ways that are different from our own.

Such thought and reflection make us realise how vast the world is, and how small our own lives and experiences are in comparison. This makes us more humble.
It is this humility that makes us realise that no matter how grand a life we live, we will never fully understand how this world truly works. We begin to see that what we consider right – may appear wrong in someone else’s eyes. This humility gradually leads to the realisation that no amount of intellectual analysis can ever fully explain the world to us, and, that we must ultimately surrender to God’s will.

Do not let the mind believe that it knows everything. Yes, we all need a system of thinking, a way of analysing and our own personal code of conduct. These are what define us. But it is important to understand that these are limited to us. Just as we believe in ourselves, others do so too. And we have no right to impose ourselves in any way on them.

Lord Vishnu took various ‘avatars’ when He came into this world. Did every ‘avatar’ have the same personality? Did they preach the same principles? Were Lord Ram and Lord Parshuram the same? One was calm and composed— the epitome of a king; the other supremely fierce—the epitome of a warrior. Lord Krishna, at times, set aside rules for the sake of ‘dharma’. For Shri Ram, following rules and traditions was ‘dharma’ itself. Can we ever say that one was wrong and the other was right? Not at all.

Why then question the differences between us? We too are God’s children, made in His very reflection. Who then are we to say that one child knows better than the other?

Swami ji said…

“ रिश्ते निभाना, संभालना, उन्हें मज़बूत रखना भी तो हमारी नैतिक ज़िम्मेदारी होती है…” Then why is it that today, more often than not—irrespective of who the individuals are— one finds oneself at odds with someone who, until recently, had held a very special place in one’s life; someone who was once deeply cherished, but who today has become the most disliked, even hated, person?

It could be anyone within the circle of our relationships—a parent, a sibling, a spouse, or a friend. At times, it does not even take a major incident for a relationship to begin deteriorating rapidly, often without either side making a sincere effort to mend what may have been damaged by loss of trust, misunderstanding, impatience, or a lack of good judgement in accepting each other’s similarities and differences.

Has giving someone a ‘second chance’ become a thing of the past in today’s fast-paced life, with its constantly changing needs and demands?

Do we not often hear people say—regardless of the relationship they share—while highlighting how alike they are and how well they get along ? “वो बिल्कुल मेरी तरह है… हमारे स्वभाव में, सोचने के तरीके में बहुत समानताएँ हैं…” “हमारी अच्छी बनती है…” – is repeatedly said by them – appreciating their similarities.

Everything seems perfect for as long as the two individuals remain in sync— sharing similar habits, similar choices, and a similar temperament. But at the very first sign of differences emerging between them, things no longer remain the same. They can quickly spiral out of control and, at times, become damaged beyond repair.
Why do we allow things to become so volatile between us and someone – whom we had once treasured so deeply?

Do we find ourselves confronted with this situation simply because we are not magnanimous enough to recognise, accept, and respect the differences that will inevitably exist between individuals? How and why do relationships end so rapidly and so easily? Is it possible that we are turning into individuals with lower tolerance levels? Or is the deeper issue this—that we wish to preserve not the relationship – but our own sense of being right?

To apologise— to say the words “I am sorry”— often seem to get lodged in the throat. We refuse to apologise because, from our own perspective, we were never in the wrong. And so estrangement, even between a father and son, is no longer unheard of in today’s increasingly materialistic world of relationships
How far is one willing to go to reconcile? Is one ready to appear small in the other person’s eyes by admitting that he may have been wrong ?

Is it possible for any two individuals to have identical dispositions, mindsets, and attitude towards life? Would life not become far more beautiful if we could learn not only to appreciate our similarities, but also to respect our differences?

The spiritual seeker must always remain aware of this universal truth—that we are all individuals. Even twins develop different characteristics over time. Why then can we not accept that the people around us will also change, evolve, and develop different perspectives and attitude? Some may be more like us, and others less so. Neither is inherently bad nor good.

Those who are similar to us may make us feel more at ease, more comfortable. But those who are different may simply be taking us out of our comfort zone and opening our eyes to the world in a way we had not appreciated before.

While on the spiritual path, one might wrongly begin to believe that his own way of doing things is the right way. But then he is quite mistaken – if he thinks this way. One is neither superior nor inferior merely because one has adopted a spiritual view of life. One has no right to pass judgement on those who do not see or seek God in their daily lives. It is entirely possible that an atheist may be living life in a way that is far more pleasing to God.

In fact, the spiritual seeker must use every opportunity to listen to and learn from those who hold different— even contradictory— views. This expands one’s horizon, awakens one to questions one may never have asked oneself, and encourages deeper reflection on one’s own beliefs and teachings. And that should not be frightening. For if one’s intentions of seeking God are pure, such an exercise will only burn away lingering doubts. And if they are not, it may gently lead one back to the right path.

But this is only possible if the spiritual seeker remains accepting of the many varied people who enter his life, and does not let these differences become a source of friction.

Ultimately, it is the ego that hurts relationships. It is the ego that tells us that we cannot be wrong. It is the ego that tells us that we are too big to apologise. It is also the ego that tells us that we are too hurt to forgive. We must realise the difference between self-respect and an inflated ego.

It is important to remember that even in conflict if we realise – that we have been wrong – we should take it as a blessing. To acknowledge that one is wrong, or has wronged someone, is humbling. And perhaps it is God who has humbled us. For it may only mean that He wishes to prepare us – so that He may raise us later.

Do not hold grudges. How can one hope to offer one’s heart and soul to God, if, they remain stained by hate and anger towards His other children? It is therefore more important to love and respect those around us before even trying to walk on the path towards God.

And how can we hope for God to forgive our own trespasses and imperfections if we ourselves are unable to forgive those of others? Whatever others may say or do to us, can truly be let go off, only, when we ourselves lose the capacity to do the same to them.

Thus, the state of our relationship with others is often a reflection of our relationship with God. The more kindness and love we share with others, the happier He will be with us.

“Nuestras padres nos otorgan bendiciones durante toda nuestra vida. Nos bendicen no solo mientras están vivos, sino que continúan haciéndolo incluso después de partir de este mundo”.

Swamiji says …

” You should never – not for even a minute – forget the fact that you have taken birth … are alive to see the marvelous, amazing beauty of Mother Nature and that your presence in this world , is solely because of your parents , who brought you in this world – as an extension, a part of their flesh and blood. You breathed in your mother’s womb , loved and protected by her, drawing every ounce of life from her; and your parents loved you, cherished you from the moment of your conception, prayed for your safe birth and showered their blessings on you ever since then.”

“The unconditional , unceasing love, care and concern with which they raised you , must be understood, appreciated and reciprocated by you. Your mother cried when you cried and your father perpetually worried about your future. They understood that you were their responsibility and smilingly offered you their shoulders , to either sit on them and see the world from an elevated height, or to place your head on their strong, comforting shoulders and draw courage and strength from them, when life made you feel distraught and teary eyed as you grew up. There is no doubt that the umbilical cord that connects the child to the mother is cut , but do you really think that you can disconnect a mother from her child? You can never repay the debt that you owe to your parents, although some are foolish enough to disbelieve this , and hurt their parents by saying that they can repay this particular debt to their parents.”

“The words that are said by your parents, and grandparents as blessings, never go unheard and unanswered, and have the power to influence you and your life. It appears as though the good fortune bestowed upon you by the Creator is the fulfillment of the wishes that your parents desired for you. The wondrous, magical quality of these blessings is that they are not bound by space or time. It does not matter whether your parents live with you or live independently , slightly away from your set up – reside within the country in which you live or live abroad ; whether they are alive to bless you personally or have left for their heavenly abode. Their blessings are always with you and will always be with you.”

“At times, you can see a clear vision, form or image of your parents or grandparents in your dreams – standing in front of you, blessing you or speaking to you at odd hours, while you are asleep. Don’t ever be afraid! Do not get agitated or disturbed if they visit you in this manner. It is a blessing that you can see them. And believe me, you will always see them ! No one can stop you or prevent you from seeing them , in this manner , after their death and dreaming such dreams ! Think of these visions as propitious and consider yourself fortunate to be able to see your loved ones, who have bid adieu to this world, once again. They have come to you in the form of a blessing – to let you know they still love you and to know how you are faring in your lifetime. ‘Bachche apne mata-pita ki aatma se judey hotey hain. Woh humari rag rag mein hain. Humari zehan mein unki yaadein hain. Humare man judey huey hain!’ Why will we not see them?’ Death too cannot break this bond as the souls of parents and their children are connected.”

“It is possible that your parent or parents could have left this world after suffering from a disease, for a long period of time, or could have died an accidental death. In case you see the vision of your parents who had passed away in a tragic , untimely manner , in a dream ; such an occurrence should provide you with great succour , and you must stop worrying any more about their welfare , and allow your mind to rest , as you finally know that they are at peace. Do not worry , wonder or get scared as to why are you seeing ‘them’!”

“Hindus follow the ‘parampara’ – the tradition – of remembering their ‘pitr’ – their fathers and forefathers during the period of ‘pitr – paksh’ in which they observe ‘shraadh’ of their lost ones. ‘ In dino apne ‘pitron’ ki yaad mein , woh nek kaam kartein hain’. They perform charitable acts like feeding the poor and the hungry, in the name and memory of their ancestors, which enables them to stay mentally, if not physically , connected with them. ‘Jab woh apne ‘pitron’ ki yaad mein shraadh kartein hain, tab unke man ko ek aulokik shakti aur aadhyatmik anand milta hai , jis ka koi bayan nahi kar sakta hai, par anubhav kar sakta hai !’ – When they observe ‘shraadh’ for their parents or grandparents , their hearts derive an all illuminating strength and energy – and spiritual bliss envelopes them, which can only be experienced and felt but cannot be described.”

“Count and receive every blessing that is showered on you, by your ‘pitr’, with great joy and happiness. Rest assured that their extraordinary blessings can never bring you any harm but can only benefit you.”

Swamiji’s message translated in Spanish

“Nunca, ni siquiera por un minuto, debes olvidar el hecho de que has nacido … estás vivo para ver la maravillosa y maravillosa belleza de la Madre Naturaleza y que tu presencia en este mundo se debe únicamente a tus padres, que te trajeron en este mundo, como una extensión, una parte de su carne y sangre. Respiraste en el vientre de tu madre, amado y protegido por ella, extrayendo cada onza de vida de ella; y tus padres te amaron, te apreciaron desde el momento de tu muerte. concepción, oró por su nacimiento seguro y derramó sus bendiciones sobre usted desde entonces “.

“El amor incondicional e incesante, el cuidado y la preocupación con los que te criaron deben ser comprendidos, apreciados y correspondidos por ti. Tu madre lloró cuando lloraste y tu padre se preocupó perpetuamente por tu futuro. Entendieron que eras su responsabilidad y sonriendo. te ofreció sus hombros, ya sea para sentarte en ellos y ver el mundo desde una altura elevada, o para colocar tu cabeza sobre sus hombros fuertes y reconfortantes y sacarles coraje y fuerza, cuando la vida te hizo sentir angustiado y con los ojos llorosos a medida que crecías arriba. No hay duda de que el cordón umbilical que conecta al niño con la madre está cortado, pero ¿realmente crees que puedes desconectar a una madre de su hijo? Nunca puedes pagar la deuda que tienes con tus padres, aunque algunos son lo suficientemente tontos como para no creer esto, y lastiman a sus padres al decir que pueden pagar esta deuda particular a sus padres “.

“Las palabras que tus padres y tus abuelos dicen como bendiciones nunca pasan desapercibidas y tienen el poder de influir en ti y en tu vida. Parece que la buena fortuna que te ha otorgado el Creador es el cumplimiento del desea que tus padres te deseen. La maravillosa y mágica cualidad de estas bendiciones es que no están unidas por el espacio o el tiempo. No importa si tus padres viven contigo o viven de forma independiente, un poco lejos de tu lugar de residencia. el país en el que vives o vives en el extranjero; si están vivos para bendecirte personalmente o si se han ido a su morada celestial. Sus bendiciones siempre están contigo y siempre estarán contigo “.

“A veces, puedes ver una visión, forma o imagen clara de tus padres o abuelos en tus sueños: pararte frente a ti, bendecirte o hablarte en horas extrañas, mientras estás dormido. Nunca tengas miedo No se agite ni se moleste si lo visitan de esta manera. Es una bendición que pueda verlos. ¡Y créanme, siempre los verán! Nadie puede detenerlos o evitar que los vean de esta manera. , después de su muerte y soñando tales sueños! Piense en estas visiones como propicias y considérese afortunado de poder ver a sus seres queridos, que se han despedido de este mundo, una vez más. Han venido a usted en forma de bendición. – para hacerle saber que aún lo aman y saber cómo le está yendo en su vida. ¿Por qué no los veremos? La muerte tampoco puede romper este vínculo ya que las almas de los padres y sus hijos están conectados “.

“Es posible que tu padre o tus padres hayan abandonado este mundo después de sufrir una enfermedad, durante un largo período de tiempo, o que hayan muerto de manera accidental. En caso de que veas la visión de tus padres que fallecieron en un momento de manera trágica, inoportuna, en un sueño; tal suceso debería proporcionarle un gran socorro, y debe dejar de preocuparse por su bienestar y dejar que su mente descanse, ya que finalmente sabe que están en paz. No se preocupe , pregúntate o asústate por qué los estás viendo ”.

“Los hindúes siguen el ‘parampara’ – la tradición – de recordar a sus ‘pitr’ – sus padres y antepasados ​​durante el período de ‘pitr – paksh’ en el que observan ‘shraadh’ de sus perdidos. Realizan actos de caridad como alimentar a los pobres y hambrientos, en nombre y memoria de sus antepasados, lo que les permite mantenerse mentalmente, si no físicamente, conectados con ellos. Cuando observan ‘shraadh’ para sus padres o abuelos, sus corazones obtienen una fuerza y ​​energía iluminadoras – y la felicidad espiritual los envuelve, lo que solo se puede experimentar y sentir, pero no se puede describir “.

“Cuente y reciba cada bendición que recibe de su ‘pitr’, con gran alegría y felicidad. Tenga la seguridad de que sus extraordinarias bendiciones nunca pueden causarle ningún daño, sino que solo pueden beneficiarlo”.

Swamiji says …

” All of you are familiar with the words – ‘Have faith , as faith can move mountains’. Words like these give you the strength to keep that spark of faith ignited within you, all the time, with the hope that you will overcome your problems and achieve the impossible one day. It is your faith that keeps you going , as you evolve , while experiencing the numerous ever- changing phases of your life. Faith in yourself, and your abilities, that lets you know what you can cope with, and what would be difficult for you to handle.”

” Your life could be jogging at a comfortable pace and everything could be hunky dory , when all of a sudden you start feeling that things are not as good as they could
be : as good as you would want them to be. Queries flood your mind – ‘Why is my business not doing as well as I had expected it to do !’ You convince yourself with your reply – ‘There must be something wrong with the area, plan or design of my factory or office? I must get it changed.’ You could be greatly worried – ‘Why have my family members been falling ill one after the other?’ You create more confusion in your mind by saying – ‘ I am positive this house doesn’t suit us ! I must do something about it at the earliest.” Another thought plagues you – ‘Why haven’t I received my promotion order while people less deserving than me have been promoted !’ Your answer this time could be – ‘Meri ‘kismat’ hi kharaab hai ! ‘ ‘ There is something wrong with my fate and destiny ! I need someone to work on my luck factor !’ It is during such moments of tension and stress, that the first seeds of suspicion and doubt sprout in your mind , and you start losing faith in yourself. The very faith that had inspired and motivated you, earlier, seems to have deserted you by now – and since you could be low in confidence , you start looking for some other means and measures that could improve your ‘present’ immediately. You try to find a recourse , a solution , a way out – by turning to complete strangers for ‘help’.”

“You completely ignore and silence the voice of your instinct and gut feeling ! You do not listen, even momentarily, to what they are trying to tell you – but willingly and blindly , follow and adhere to the ‘so called’ guidance and directions provided by ‘famous, reputed professionals’ – for which you happily pay astronomical amounts. At times, it appears, as though you have lost your sense of reasoning, logic and rationale ! The advice given by a person who has been contacted by you to decide on the size , shape of the piece of land or the direction in which your house , office or factory could be facing,is accepted by you wholeheartedly. These ‘experts’ who according to you are endowed with ‘extraordinary intelligence’, decide for you – the right location, measurement etc. of the site that would bring you God’s Grace, good luck and unlimited fortune. Can the all pervading presence of the Omniscient be restricted and limited by, and to a specific space by anyone ? Can you shut doors on Him and expect Him to be cordoned off in areas of your liking or dislike? Deliberate on this for a minute seriously.”

” You were always taught to keep faith but were you ever taught to have blind faith ! Because this is exactly what you are doing now ! The blind faith that you repose in such people could prove to be your enemy and bring about your downfall. You will raze your factory to the ground if any of your esteemed ‘advisors’ forewarn you of the impending misfortune that could befall you,in case you didn’t abide by their instructions. Who are these people who can look into your future and predict what is good or bad for you ! Do you ever think for a moment about the repercussions of the weakness that you are exhibiting by trusting such people blindly ! ‘ ‘Bahut dhong phael gaya hai aaj kal !’ – and you are falling into their trap. You are heading towards a point of no return from the vice like grip and control of people, who are earning their bread and butter , by fooling and taking undue advantage of simple people like you. What will you do tomorrow if people like them tell you that the failure of your business venture is due to the fault in your brother’s stars ? Will you break away from your filial relationships and have nothing to do with your brother in future ? Will you wear a false demeanor while interacting with him , entertain impure thoughts about him and hold him responsible for all your losses and problems. If you continue to behave in this way you will be devoid of purity shortly ! What is the point in living a life of charade ? Are relationships of no relevance – no importance and value to you ! Don’t they mean anything to you ! Sad to say, but this is precisely what is happening these days. It is said that ‘blood is thicker than water’, but people today have developed such cold , emotionless hearts that they can erase sentimental memories and detach themselves completely within minutes. Have ’emotional bonds’ and ties been put away by you in a closet and , on the contrary, ‘money and gold bonds’ been welcomed with open arms. Will you actually achieve anything by adopting such double standards?

“Man is willing to do anything and everything apart from his ‘ karma’. He will live a life of ‘chamak dhamak’ and feel that leading a life-style of this kind can make him acquire everything and get away with anything. Remember , no shortcuts of any kind can decide your ‘karma’. Your Creator is not the least bit interested whether your house or factory is east facing or west facing. He is only interested in the good ‘karma’ that you do and accumulate.The location, the size of your property doesn’t impress Him. It is the ‘karma’ that you do – either , inside or outside, the confines of these ‘structures’ that matters to Him.”

Swamiji’s message translated in Spanish

“Todos ustedes están familiarizados con las palabras: ‘Ten fe, ya que la fe puede mover montañas’. Palabras como estas te dan la fuerza para mantener esa chispa de fe encendida dentro de ti, todo el tiempo, con la esperanza de que vencerás tu problemas y lograr lo imposible algún día. Es su fe la que lo mantiene en marcha, a medida que evoluciona, mientras experimenta las numerosas fases cambiantes de su vida. La fe en sí mismo y sus habilidades, que le permiten saber lo que puede hacer frente , y lo que sería difícil de manejar “.

“Tu vida podría estar trotando a un ritmo cómodo y todo podría ser aburrido, cuando de repente empiezas a sentir que las cosas no son tan buenas como podrían ser: tan buenas como quisieras que fueran. Las consultas inundan tu mente – “¿Por qué mi negocio no funciona tan bien como esperaba?” Usted se convence con su respuesta: “¿Debe haber algo mal en el área, el plan o el diseño de mi fábrica u oficina? Debo cambiarlo”. Podrías estar muy preocupado: “¿Por qué mis familiares se han enfermado uno tras otro?” Usted crea más confusión en su mente al decir: “¡Estoy seguro de que esta casa no nos conviene! Debo hacer algo al respecto lo antes posible”. Otro pensamiento lo atormenta: “¿Por qué no he recibido mi pedido de promoción mientras que las personas que lo merecen menos han sido promovidas?” Su respuesta esta vez podría ser: ” ¡Hay algo mal con mi destino y destino! ¡Necesito a alguien que trabaje en mi factor suerte! Es durante esos momentos de tensión y estrés, que brotan en tu mente las primeras semillas de sospecha y duda, y comienzas a perder la fe en ti mismo. La misma fe que lo había inspirado y motivado anteriormente parece haberlo abandonado ahora, y dado que podría tener poca confianza, comienza a buscar otros medios y medidas que podrían mejorar su ‘presente’ de inmediato. Intenta encontrar un recurso, una solución, una salida, recurriendo a desconocidos en busca de ‘ayuda’ “.

“¡Usted ignora y silencia por completo la voz de su instinto y sus instintos! No escucha, ni siquiera momentáneamente, lo que están tratando de decirle, pero voluntaria y ciegamente, sigue y se adhiere a la ‘supuesta’ guía e instrucciones proporcionadas por ‘profesionales famosos y de renombre’, por los cuales paga felizmente cantidades astronómicas. A veces, ¡parece que ha perdido el sentido del razonamiento, la lógica y la lógica! El consejo dado por una persona que ha sido contactada por usted para decidir usted acepta de todo corazón el tamaño, la forma del terreno o la dirección en la que podría estar orientada su casa, oficina o fábrica. Estos “expertos” que según usted están dotados de “inteligencia extraordinaria”, deciden por usted – la ubicación correcta, la medición, etc. del sitio que le brindaría la Gracia de Dios, buena suerte y fortuna ilimitada. ¿Puede la presencia omnipresente del Omnisciente restringirse y limitarse a un espacio específico por cualquier persona? ¿Puede cerrar las puertas?sobre Él y esperar que sea acordonado en áreas de su agrado o desagrado? Delibere sobre esto por un minuto en serio “.

“¡Siempre te enseñaron a mantener la fe, pero alguna vez te enseñaron a tener una fe ciega! ¡Porque esto es exactamente lo que estás haciendo ahora! ¡La fe ciega que depositas en esas personas podría ser tu enemigo y provocar tu caída! arrasará su fábrica hasta el suelo si alguno de sus estimados ‘asesores’ le advierte de la inminente desgracia que podría ocurrirle, en caso de que no cumpla con sus instrucciones. ¿Quiénes son estas personas que pueden mirar su futuro y predecir qué? es bueno o malo para ti! ¿Alguna vez has pensado por un momento en las repercusiones de la debilidad que estás exhibiendo al confiar ciegamente en esas personas? – y estás cayendo en su trampa. Te diriges hacia un punto sin retorno del vicio como agarre y control de las personas, que se están ganando el pan y la mantequilla, engañando y aprovechando indebidamente a personas simples como tú. ¿Qué harás mañana si personas como ellas te dicen que el fracaso de tu empresa se debe a F ault en las estrellas de tu hermano? ¿Te separarás de tus relaciones filiales y no tendrás nada que ver con tu hermano en el futuro? ¿Llevará un comportamiento falso mientras interactúa con él, tendrá pensamientos impuros sobre él y lo responsabilizará de todas sus pérdidas y problemas? ¡Si continúas comportándote de esta manera, pronto estarás desprovisto de pureza! ¿Cuál es el punto de vivir una vida de farsa? ¿Son las relaciones sin relevancia, sin importancia y valor para usted! ¡No significan nada para ti! Es triste decirlo, pero esto es precisamente lo que está sucediendo en estos días. Se dice que “la sangre es más espesa que el agua”, pero las personas de hoy han desarrollado corazones tan fríos y sin emociones que pueden borrar recuerdos sentimentales y desprenderse por completo en cuestión de minutos. ¿Han guardado los ‘lazos emocionales’ y los lazos en un armario y, por el contrario, los ‘bonos de dinero y oro’ han sido recibidos con los brazos abiertos? ¿Realmente lograrás algo adoptando tales dobles raseros?

“El hombre está dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa, aparte de sus ‘hechos’. Vivirá una vida de ‘ostentación’ y sentirá que llevar un estilo de vida de este tipo puede hacer que adquiera todo y salga con la suya. Su Creador es no le interesa en lo más mínimo si su casa o fábrica está orientada al este o al oeste. Él solo está interesado en el buen ‘karma’ que usted hace y acumula. La ubicación, el tamaño de su propiedad no lo impresiona. Es el ‘karma’ que haces, ya sea dentro o fuera de los límites de estas ‘estructuras’ que le importan “.
