Story that could be yours

Go from fullness to fullness, gratitude to gratitude.

Wherever you start that is where you go. From oneness to oneness.

What do you want for your life, for your self? If you want oneness, be oneness. If you want love, be love. Know that you are already the love.

Do you want worry? No, then drop the worry.
Don’t resist the worry, but just be Faith.

Faith begets faith.

Life is simple when I know that I create my reality.
I create from where I am.

Whatever is on my screen, my self, consciousness, that is what I become next.
I am constantly creating reality.
Be oneness now, then oneness perpetually is.

Don’t hate anyone, for your own sake.
Then there is no hate.

There is something to learn in every situation.
The thing that is most important, is to Learn, NOT the situation.

Learn and keep the learning, the wisdom, in the mind, don't hold onto the situation.
The situation was just given to facilitate the learning.

Learn and move forward.
Learn that I create my own reality, perpetually.

I've learned that I won't grow unless I take my lessons and apply them, live them.
And when I get fixated on the situation, I often get distracted from the truth I've learned.

I am totally responsible for my reality.
When I know this I am infinitely powerful.

To want is to not have in the present and in the future.
The past is gone, irrelevant except that I can learn from it…………….

But the present is alive and totally dynamic.
Out of these moments will come future actions and happenings.

So fully be in richness, in Wealth, 100% in the present.
To live like this allows future manifestations of richness.

This law is perfect, be 100%, be in truth, wisdom, bliss, love, caring, belonging,
fullness then goodness is continually manifested.

Faith grows or worry grows. Trust grows or doubt grows.

What do I want to grow in my garden?

Water the fruit trees,
Don’t water the thorns. ~Rumi

What do I want to grow in my garden?

Plant seeds of Gratitude, Trust, Faith, Wealth, Peace.
Then this is what the crops will look like, what my life will look like.

Plant seeds of Complaint, Doubt, Struggle, Resistance, Poverty.
Then this is what the crops will look like, what my life will look like.

I already have what I want.
Know this.

It's not that I have to ask for it, beg for it, crave for it,
It is already with me.

This is the higher road.
This is acknowledging Big Mind.
Come from lack and I am lack.
Come from fullness and I am fullness.

Perfect Law of Nature!

Angle's love
like feathers sweeping,
like tiny rain drops falling,
lightly touching my cheeks,
caressing me, like a mother's hand.

My heart longs for you;
My mind is thinking only of you;
My legs are racing towards you;
I want to come close...

Oh, my beloved, my angel, my darling,
Oh, I have known you for so long;
Longer than my memory existed;
Longer than time ever existed.

Today,
Time came to a standing still;
The world is melting away;
My heart is opening up, like petals of a lotus flower,
When I see you, just now...

- Man Hu, China

Everyone may not understand the value of a having a bearded, robe-wearing Guru from India. It might not be crystal clear what the big deal is about meditation or wisdom from thousands of years ago. All of this might appear foreign and confusing.

But, when you are around Sri Sri Ravi Shankar you cannot miss seeing a person overflowing with laughter, wisdom, compassion and love - exploding with life itself.

Thank you to the most amazing person I have met on this planet, to someone who reminded me of the simple truths I knew as a kid, to the value of giving and my connection to everyone, who showed me the power of silence, and turned my attention away from the small and fleeting events to the incredible life inside.

Thank you for not hiding in a cave somewhere, content in your own bliss, but instead for choosing a life of non-stop work, teaching me and millions of other people the incredible tools that allow the life inside to grow and shine brighter, which has made my life more meaningful and joyful each year.

I was lost in the web of lies,
I was lost in the way of life,
and then You saw me ;
nah!
peeped into my eyes,
read my heart - the longing in my eyes;

You understood it all!
Magic happened!
Life was suddenly complete.
I became complete.
In silence I got everything.

Without words you hugged me tight;
Wiped my tears and made me smile.

My life became blessed.
I became fulfilled.

You taught me to love.
You taught me to bless.
You taught me the art of living.

He came, he charmed, he mesmerised
Dressed in white, from head to foot
His smile always a jingle
He made us all mingle

Tired he was, but he displayed not
His eyes ever twinkling
Like a star ever sparkling…

With Bombay-ites at their very best
Our love for Him never at rest
Fell over Him for a touch or smile
Which would take our life an extra mile!

Unawares he was of our weird love
Yet calm and composed
He was, peaceful as a dove
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know, my mind he had read!

He Smiled – Oh So Merry
Swaying in the Jingle
Like a dancing fairy…

Santa Claus, - our Guruji
A symbol of generosity
His laugh, is joy from our joy,
What he gives us isn't simply just a toy

A mind with unrest and hesitation
Was calmed with his 20 minute meditation
Kids questioned him
As he answered with his unfazed whim

Then he took his much awaited flight
To another land in the darkness of the night
We waved till he went off our sight
In another land to show the light

And then You understand how magic works,
You'd see he's more than
Just a symbol of peace upon this earth!

You Make Me think the Way You want and Tell me thoughts are Meaningless !
You Make Me Lose My Senses and tell me to be more sensitive !
You Make Me Broaden My Vision and Tell me this is all an illusion !
You Take My Breath Away and tell me to just Breathe... !

You Make Me a People's Person and Tell me to be with My-self !
You Make Me go totally Crazy and Tell me not to get Excited !
You Make Me Lose My Mind and tell me to be Aware of it !
You Take My Belongings away and put me where I Belong... !

You Make Me Laugh and Cry and tell me Love is not an Emotion !
You Make Me get everything I want and tell me I need Nothing !
You Make Me Fall in Love with U and tell me I am U !
You Take Me everywhere with U and make me feel soo Divine... !

YES! You were the one who made Me and tell me it all just Happened !!

O my heart,
thank you for being in me, and I in you.
I know that we are one,
you a part of me and me a part of you
and that I never need to thank you (see, I listened)
but I do, because if there's anyone I want to thank,
It's you.

I try to be the best person I can (don't try, do)
But it just doesn't seem to be working for me,
And I wonder what it is I'm doing wrong.
and if it weren't for you, I would be tempted to quit
but how could I do that, when it is who I am.

You have my heart, my life, dearest Lord
and I have to ask
Is it because no one else wants it?
Or because that's where it belongs.
(I know the answer even as I ask the question),
And I feel your grace surround me,
and tears spill out in gratitude,
thank you
O my heart.

My gratitude to you for having made this path to graduation smooth and easy.
