Selfishness is a term used to refer negativity. It is considering oneself as the priority. However, this is the most important tool for a sadhaka, (or one practicing sadhana). Note carefully: Selfishness has both negative and positive approaches. Negative selfishness is usually the act of satisfying oneself by causing inconvenience to the other. Here the intention is to satisfy our senses by causing harm to the other soul. This is an act of devils. At the same time, selfishness is the most important tool for progressing in spirituality. As always, spirituality is the practice of rising to the conscious planes. This includes conscious living, association, talking, etc. Selfishness in this case is the only tool that helps safeguard one's spiritual practice. Without it one cannot avoid associating with material people or the ones who engage in satisfying the senses. A spiritual man disassociate from the world, his relatives and his friends. Only if one uses selfishness to serv...

Most of us are under the false belief that we are leading a life. This is because all our perception of life is viewed from different angles. Or simply, we all have a different experiences of life. Life is an esoteric subject. If we tread to unravel life without guidance, we will be doomed. As we bear negativity in our mind the projection of life too, will be distorted. Thus, we shall surrender to the mentor, or guru who in turn is surrendered to the Lord. Then our journey towards excavating life shall be supported by spiritual vigor.  A baby monkey claps its mother, fearing that it shouldn't be let alone while its mother hunts.

In fact, it does not even move from its spot as it is confident that its mother will maintain it. This is the peaks of surrender. If we surrender without any expect...

It is interesting to note the difference in the nature of Lord Shankar and Lord Ganesha. Following the marriage of mother Parvati with Lord Shankar, mother Parvati created a child from the dust of Her transcendental body. The transcendental form of Ganesha bowed down before His mother and proceeded to take his first orders from Her. He was given the task of keeping the gates of Her chamber and restrict the entry of anyone into the chamber. After the Mother left, it so happened that Lord Shiva entered the scene. Lord Ganesha did not know His father at that time and hence did not permit Lord Shiva to enter the gates of the chamber of Devi Parvati. It did not necessitate Lord Shiva to seek anyone's permission to see His wife. He too did not recognize Ganesha. Although Lord Shiva initially tried to humbly approach little Ganesha and requested entry into the chamber, Lord Ganesha vehemently denied entry to the Master of the Universe, Lord Shiva. After a while of cajoling, ...

Within our body lies the heart. It is a vital organ as within it is the most essential force that keeps us alive.  It is the Param Atma. He is the creator of the entire universe, the deep oceans and rains. The core of our heart houses that great architect who is the source of his creation. Within us lies the entire creation. The external world is a mere reflection of our inner world. The creator continues with His creation of oceans and rains. The oceans in the world is a mere drop compared to the vast ocean within us. This is because the entire creation, or the source of all oceans and rains is lodged within the core of our hearts, this is the creator Himself.
