Engagement is an outward activity. It has nothing to do with oneself. Our spirit has no engagement with the external world. It can only be engaged with spiritual activities. But, as man finds it haunting to be alone, he engages with people to overcome this fear. He compromises with the happiness of the soul, thereby making the soul feel alone. In sometime in life, man realizes that his engagement with people has not borne good fruits. It has even made him disengage with his soul. He becomes alone even when alone as he has abandoned his spirit long time back. This is the sad story of the man who dedicates his life to the world, just to ruin it. Engagement of this sort brings immense sorrow. Momentary happiness is not what we seek. We are seeking everlasting happiness. But, genuinely before we even go out to inquire the whereabouts of happiness, we tend to go astray. We engage with momentary happiness as soon as we find it! We have no patience. Precisely, outward engagement de

True religion is Sanatan Dharma. This has existed from the time existence existed. So, following this religion will reveal the ultimate reality. But, when the reality and specifically ultimate reality is revealed through Sanatan Dharma, it is evident that it cannot be bound to the term religion. Today, religion has a very constricted meaning and reach in an individual's life. It is not capable of revealing the nature of life. It has created barriers between people today. In other words, religion as a term has created division among people. Sanatan Dharma, as opposed to religion propagates no religion. It is just the revelation of life, its experience and its occurrence. So, following this ultimate Dharma, will get us to conclude that there is no religion. In fact, religion is not religion today! Only by following true religion ( Sanatan Dharma) will let us know religion. Once, we know a spec of it we know that the 'religion- based talk of the world' speaks nothing ab

Smiling when we don't feel like is a disease. This disease deals with the mental framework of our mind. In other words, anything that doesn't fit under the spiritual laws is a disease. Smiling when we don't feel like is a disease because it is governed by the mind. We often smile to keep the other happy or rather to keep ourselves happy. Even if there is momentary displeasure while exhibiting that smile on our face, we simply do it because that might fetch us a ground to seek happiness. This implies for all those who smile even while feeling uncomfortable. Just simply ask yourself: "Why am I smiling when I don't mean it or like to do???" The answer is hard to hear but it is the truth. We have selfish motives that compel smile, against our will. So, the first step to undo all the things that you did not like is to stop doing them again. We cannot alter our past but surely build good new ones. Consciously working towards our faulty mind, through sadhan

The food for our soul is indeed prayer. The characteristic of the soul is Sattvik or 'pure' in nature. This being the predominant quality, qualifies our soul as calm, stable and the source of happiness and peace. It is devoid of any craving or obsession as it is content. However, to experience this bliss within us, we are gifted with Prayer. It is a tool that directly brings one in contact with the nature of the soul. But many of us find it difficult to pray! Our Mind doesn't let us concentrate! So, we have to hold onto a step-by-step manual to monitor the mind. Mind chatters and brings in a surge of thoughts throughout the day. Hence, it is Rajasik. Some minds are ignorantly stationary, overcome by laziness, these are Tamasik in nature. But, the way to cope with both these categories of minds is WORK. If you are highly active (Rajasik), work is necessary as ground to develop a feeling of detachment. Here, detachment refers to the teachings of the Bhagvad Gita, work

Happiness does not lie beyond yourself. You are the embodiment of happiness as the source lies deep within ourselves. This is the ParamAtma. No object, person or event is capable of giving you happiness. This might not seem to be true, but you think for yourself. When we are sad internally, then the object we loved, or the person we admired no more seem to be pleasurable. They do not give us any kind of happiness. If we are happy, only then the outside world is happy. This is because, it is our happiness that reflects on the world outside. So, the objects, people, events do not give us happiness of any sort. They are just objects on which our happiness is reflected. Due to our limited understanding we often mistake the object and not self as the source of Happiness.  We are happiness because of which the outside world seems happy.  But the world has no potency to become joyful or sorrowful and hence cannot be the cause of joy or sorrow to any living being.

Believing in oneself is stupidity. It does no assure you a permanent solution as believing is a fluctuating phenomena. We believe in something because we were taught to, but with age and experience we disbelieve those things! Do not try to believe. You are being unnatural in that sense. You are accepting (believing) something blindly just because you were asked to. "Perhaps,it would resolve my problems". If this is your intention, you are highly mistaken. Because, the medicine that works for him might not necessarily, or never work for you. Believing is just an escape mechanism. If you are convince not to believe, then what will you do? The answer is: "Just Be". Be yourself and know yourself. Go deeper within yourself, for nobody else ca do that for you! Find out the root cause of your misery. Be sincere in answering every question you encounter while undergoing introspection. Just Be. Then this will make you confident, not superficially as you have understoo
