Live the best life
High on Waves
What do we expect from life?
Excellence in everything that we do.
Positivity in everything that we express.
Love in every moment that we live,
And happiness which connects us with everyone
In this manner, we can live a truly best life. – Swami Niranjanananda
Perception of ambition
Ambition is insanity. It shows that you are not at ease with yourself, you are not at home. Ambition shows that now you want others to know you are great. That is just to hide your smallness. – Osho
Dear Ones, do we feel like this. We are all motivated by our desire, which overcomes us and causes discomfort. We are seeking acceptance from others, because we feel that we are insignificant. Continue reading
934 – Addiction
What is addiction? It is having an excessive craving. Why is it present in some of us? Is it how we perceive life? Is it because one has no joy in life? Is life meaningless and taking a substance makes one forget our emptiness. Then we are looking at a world which is colorful and crazy. Okay, I am not going into the heavy-duty addictions immediately. Let us start with chocolate, coffee, sweets, different foods, sex, alcohol, smoking and drugs. It is not easy to give up some of these substances. We develop a dependence on them. Continue reading
882 – Change is the law of the universe
Whatever is happening is also for good.
Whatever will happen, shall also be good.
What have you lost that you cry for?
What did you bring that you have lost?
What did you create that was destroyed?
What you have taken, has been from here.
What you gave has been given here.
What belongs to you today,
Belonged to someone yesterday.
And will be someone else’s tomorrow. – Bhagavad Gita
844 – My True Heart
Feel more sense more, let your heart function. The intelligence of the heart creates poetry in your life, gives dance to your steps, makes your life a joy… a festivity, a laughter… It makes you capable of love, of sharing. That is true life. – Osho
703 – What is better, laughter or prayers?
Laughter is far more sacred than prayer, because prayer can be done by anyone, it does not require much intelligence. Laughter requires intelligence, it requires presence of mind, a quickness of seeing into things. In deep laughter the ego disappears if the ego is there it will keep you serious. – Osho
524 – Develop the eye of wisdom
Osho spoke,
The third eye is where one puts the tilak, the vermilion mark on the forehead. It was devised as a symbol of that unknown world. This point is not in the same place for everyone. It is said that if someone has meditated for a long time in his/her past lives and has had a small experience of samadhi his/her third eye will be lower down. If no meditation has been done, the place on the forehead is higher up. It can be determined by the position of this point, what the state of one’s meditation was in one’s past life; it will indicate whether the state of samadhi ever happened to one in one’s past life. If it happened often then, this point will have come down lower, it will be at the same level as one’s eyes—it cannot go lower than that. If this point has come in line with one’s eyes, then one can enter samadhi. The happening is so small that it is insignificant.
522 – Take a mental selfie
What is a mental selfie? A mental selfie is as you wish to see yourself. A beautiful self. What is a beautiful self? A beautiful self is when your face is lit up with love and kindness. How is that to happen? My dear ones, you will have to read a little more to understand. Continue reading
478 – Happiness makes you your own person
Find your roots within yourself. If you belong to a crowd, there is no further growth. You are dependent on others for company and this gives you anxiety. You seek groups, organizations to give you an identity. It is described as social anxiety and it is discussed intensely. What one is forgetting is how is one connected to oneself. Continue reading
387 – Sound of Dewdrops
This morning I watched the dewdrops falling on the flowers, but their footsteps could not be heard. How peacefully, how silently, and with so much love, were the dewdrops falling. Godliness descends in just the same way when the heart is ready. You realize that it is happening only when it has arrived. Continue reading
359 – Possession and possessiveness
What is the definition of possession? Something that you own or are carrying with you. Why does possession have such a powerful hold on us? Let us examine why possession has its tentacles wrapped around us. Is our love possessive for our child, partner, parent, and pet? Can we own an individual? Is it healthy to be possessive? Continue reading
351 – Guru’s moulding of a disciple
What happens when we have a Guru? S/He creates a situation, where one is free to confront the different aspects of life. If one can go through these phases, then the sun will continue to shine on one. The Guru creates a net of maya (illusions). Continue reading
273 – Be selfish and engage in meditation and prayers
We are in a state of misery. We are deluged by misfortunes. Famine, floods and war. There are shortages everywhere. Innocents are being shot in schools, fires raging. Our miserable nature is overtaking us. We are crushing and destroying what is dear to us. Hurting others who have not harmed us. Wars are erupting everywhere. War does not only mean a battle but there is also an ongoing war against disease and pestilence. It has afflicted our thinking. There are politicians who are talking about maintaining peace but actually they are preparing for war to preserve peace. Continue reading
172 – What do you carry?
When I think of this, I see myself as a donkey carrying a load. My cargo is my anxieties, thoughts, cares and fears. When I examine my burden, I am stunned. My anxieties are many. I hope I do not get Covid, I have had all my vaccinations, I am washing my hands constantly, gritting my teeth as my hands are getting rough. Continue reading
