Mental Peace: Walking Towards Bliss
Reiki Grandmaster Prof. B R Goel saysWhen you have a problem - keep this in Mind:
- Whenever you are in a crisis situation, do not act in haste- When you enter a dark room, you can not see anything, if you try to move in panic, you might hit your head on the walls. But wait, and you will start seeing as your eyes will adjust to the darkness. Similarly give time to yourself and you'll find solutions during crisis. When there is a problem, God has already created a solution for it, if you keep a cool mind - you are certain to see this solution
- Consider each problem as a challenge. Each challenge is to be overcome and go to next level in life. If you learn the
lesson from your problem/challenge it will not bother you again. If a problem recurs again and again, give it a thought- you have certainly
not learned your lesson.
- Most importantly, the day you begin to take responsibility for all that is happening in your life, you will revolutionise your life. As long as you keep blaming the world for all your miseries in life nothing will change, you have control only on yourself. You are the sole cause for miseries in your life.
- Time is a wall and our thoughts and deeds are like balls. Each of our thought and deed that we throw, hit the wall of time and bounce back to us. All that we suffer, good or bad, without exception, are the results of our own actions or thoughts (good or bad). Problem is you forget that you had sown seeds of neem and now you expect mangos from it.
BEWARE: DO NOT RUN AFTER SO MANY SELF STYLED GURUS, WHO ARE ONLY SELF-SERVING AND ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING RICHES.

When you have a police commissioner as your friend, you feel safe and secure.If you have the country president as your friend all your work is done with ease. But these are not permanent. Commissioners get transferred, presidents change. Make GOD your friend, and you will not have to worry for the rest of your life. And understand that because of its very inherent nature it is not possible to have perfect relationship with another human, if you seek that you will be disappointed.
Today the greatest need is to combat stress, and this holds the key to your total well-being. There are certain fundamentals which must be understood in the beginning.
Indian philosophy begins by advising individual to ask questions like- Who am I? Where have I come from? Where will I go? What is the purpose of my existence?
One thing is certain - God has blessed us with a human body, thank him for that and be grateful that you are not another creature. Humans alone, on this planet (as far we know) have the power of discretion - To make a right choice is what takes you towards the Goal.

to learn the modern meditation technique. Also read the article of Tune in your vibrations. Meditation is an effort to get close to your roots, its a step towards
self realisation.
You clean your house, clean your body, but what about cleaning your mind? Meditate on this...
If you do not clean your house it collects dirt so soon. You accumulate so many useless ideas and inputs in your mind each day. Meditation cleans you mind of this unwanted garbage. Left un-cleaned, this garbage leads to unwanted desires, ideas and mental agony.
In this world of duality there are always opposites. In nature everything works on this principle, it gets so hot and only then does it rain. You can enjoy a drink fully only if you are very thirsty. You will get good sleep only when you have worked hard for the day. Having a nice cushy bed is no guarantee for good sleep.
The conflict with humans is that we are not willing to accept the pain that is inevitable with pleasure.
If you want to get rid of pain (dukha)
than you have to get rid of attachment to so callled HAPPINESS (sukha) first, after achieving this fountain of everlasting joy and peace (anandmaya) will start manifesting from within.
In nature, everything works on the basis of a Law of Nature. If we live in harmony with this law, there will be abundant happiness. All actions and reactions take place in this world according to this Law.
We feel hungry, When we eat, the food gets digested without our effort or knowledge.
When we lie down, we fall asleep without knowing how.
Nature does all its jobs, (Sun rises, trees grow, seasons change) and if humans violate it's laws, they will be punished ruthlessly but not before ample warning
signals have been given. If you learn to heed to these warnings, a lot of misery will be avoided.
What are these signals? When you fall sick, Nature is telling you that you are doing something wrong. Correct it, instead to trying to taking pills to suppress the ailment.
FEVER is the indication that there is infection in the body, fever by itself is just the indication. In the same way, when there is sorrow/problems in life, its God/s way of indicating that you need to think about the way YOUR LIFE is going, stop and ask yourself where you are going wrong and correct your actions. These are the ways nature tries to tell us to be on the right track. This is not an easy path - but you can learn with persistence. If you will introspect you will be able to find out and correct yourself, if you look outward you will blame world and expect/try world to change. If you continue doing what you have been doing, you will keep getting what you have been getting.
All our actions fall into two categories- either we are trying to possess something or we are trying to get rid of something. What we try to get rid of, maybe something that the others are trying to possess. Also, what we want changes all the time.
We are hypnotized from childhood by preconditioning. Do you know the famous camel story? And then, an elephant, huge and strong, does not attempt to break from a small peg because right from the time he was baby elephant he was tied with the peg. He learned in childhood, that he cannot break it. Thought strong and capable now, he is unable to attempt to flee because of the mental bond created from infancy.
Our life is between a drop of water and handful of ashes. Strangely the birth and death are not in our control but man thinks that he can control everything in between. Have faith in lord of universe he will take care of everything, BUT you must play your part as all elements in nature do.
Learn To Take sole responsibility for ALL your Actions
The day you adopt this approach the revolution will begin in your life. You will stop blaming every body else and this will initiate your mind to begin taking total control.
Riding on the horse of thoughts, the mind controls us
The Theory of Vibrations will help you to understand basic concepts of
life.
The Creator of this Human being - most beautiful and complex creations on this planet
Where is the pleasure? Happiness what is it?
We have evolved from apes - alas the habit of aping is not
gone we copy materialistic trends/ assets of our neighbors without applying our mind.
Is there any difference between the sorrow and tears of the richest and the poorest men. The same is true of happiness.
Success/Happiness is just an ATTITUDE AWAY, one could say this single factor separates happy people from unhappy ones. Transform your attitude - - assign only DREAM value to life. Is this all real? Think about it. Your attitude is your world, whichever world you go to you carry your world, your attitude. When you get up in morning do you care in you made a thousand or a million in your dream. Ask a man on his death bed what he learned/gained from his life? Sorrow is never in the event. Let us take an event, for example the death of father in a family. One son is weeping (he loved his father) and in another situation the son is celebrating ( wanted all wealth of his father)
India has a very ancient culture, and a wealth of knowledge is here. Lord Krishna in his discourse in Bhagvat Geeta, has given the ultimate key to the peace and success in life. Truth is God exists and God is JUST, if you understand that you will stop complaining.
Eternal Quest:
All of us want to be happy, have security, want to be immortal. If you
run after it-you don't get it. You already have all these but fool
hardily we don't realize it, We don't even learn from others. From time
immemorial man continues to commit same stupid mistakes. Stop and think it
over. Strangely enough either your parents also die ignorant or they have
NO courage to tell their kids about the MISTAKES / wasted life. OR they
have no communication enough with kids to tell them this stuff.
Source of PAIN/GRIEF is same for all beings on this planet. Lack of material achievement, loss of LOVE, Attachment to BODY etc etc. ALAS we FOOLS do not sit and think.
Surprisingly even parents do not tell children that we have been fools to run after wealth, wine and women, but have not found TRUE happiness. Generation after generation we see humans doing same Foolish acts. We do not learn from our mistakes. If we analyze our actions we can understand easily, we went for a party, for how long it made me HAPPY, I bought a new CAR for how long it made me HAPPY? Like a FOOL we keep repeating same mistakes all our life. We realize only at the TIME of DEATH that I was breathing and ALIVE. If you understand EACH day will be a celebration, YOU will thank GOD every morning THAT you are breathing, YOU are alive, each DAY will be a beautiful DAY.
Nothing on earth renders happiness less approachable than trying to find it
.
Historian Will Durant described how he looked for happiness in know1edge, and found only disillusionment. He then sought happiness in travel and found
weariness, in wealth and found discord and worry. He looked for happiness in his writing and was only fatigue.
One day he saw a woman waiting in a tiny car with a sleeping child in her arms. A man descended from
a train, came over and gently kissed the woman and then the baby, very softly so as not
to awaken him. The family drove off and left Durant with the stunning realization of the real nature of happiness.
He relaxed and discovered that every normal function of life holds some delight.
Any thought that weakens you, should be instantly shunned.
Any thought that divides, should not be entertained.
Gain mastery over your consciousness, it is the stage on which everything plays. Be the master, not the slave.
You may try to stop or move the car by pulling or pushing from front or back, does that help ? instead gain the mastery over its controls (learn to drive) and you will take it
where ever you want it at the speed you like and will enjoy the ride.
Many a time there is a sound or sight but you don't see/hear it. The reason being,
your attention/ energy/ consciousness is elsewhere. Once you gain mastery over
this energy, you will be able to conserve it and use it the way you want it. You
will then enjoy bliss always.
You can see the shining green leaves even in harsh summer because tree has its
roots deep inside earth. If you maintain your connection with God you will
overcome all problems in life and always be smiling and happy.
Some activities are common between animals and humans eg. eating, fear, sleep, sex. If you examine you will see that animals do better in these four areas as they follow their instincts. Man indulges in excess in all four areas and then suffers.
Only man has discretion to rise or to fall. Make a choice. In nature all should follow their DHARMA else they SUFFER. Gravity is same for all, if you do not walk straight you fall, do not blame earth. SUN rises and gives WARMTH to all, air gives oxygen to all, fire burns, WATER quenches thirst. These are DHARMA of these elements, they do it equal to all poor or rich alike. ARE you doing your DHARMA ? duties as a professional, as a husband, as a father, as a good neighbor etc etc ask honestly and do a self enquiry you will always get a correct answer. ELSE do not grudge when you are punished.
A Man was going with a camel in the Desert. It was late evening and he decided to stop for rest. So he put up his camp but suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring along the rope to tie the camel. He went around the camel acting as if he is tying a rope and did the complete ritual.
In the morning he got ready to leave and the animal will not move at all, he tried all the things and animal will not budge though appeared quite healthy. Suddenly he realized the reason and he again did the drama of untying the camel from the rope and then the animal got up and was ready to move. All of us are tied with some kind of belief and concepts and are hypnotized by that and are not able to break free from the bond.
