Thoughts By Param

Meditation is not a fashion trend that everybody needs to try. It is a need to get in touch with who and what you are. People want it to take it as a pill to solve life problems. This is not the purpose of meditation.  Meditation to me is connecting with myself. Getting to know the mechanics and the spirituality of my mental and physical makeup.  I want to know, how and what I can do so that this life journey is mostly pleasant. To me meditation is not just sitting with closed eyes and chanting one mantra, I am not proposing this is not needed. It is a very essential part.  It is very calming and soothing. To me, meditation is the life style. Every aspect, of my life, should feel satisfaction in a healthy and calming sense. Anything that I do should have hundred percent of my attention and awareness at the time. Before embarking on meditation take some time to think, the reason why you are looking into it. When you are looking for something in the house, where everything is scattered y

  Karma theory as I understand. What we sow we reap is true for everyone. It is carried over from previous and added to present deeds. You can give things but never change somebody's life dues.   Even the richest parent cannot take away their child's emotional or internal pain or change their course of life. The person alone can change himself to better which can be considered for the pardon. Which is already a built-in clause in the theory. You can share your experience only if the other person is willing. If it is a baby, one can't even do that. That explains why some babies are so cheerful whereas others are very serious. No two people or experiences are totally alike.  We are genetically different! The only thing that can soften the blow is blessings and prayers, individual or collective. Hence stop worrying about things beyond your control.  Be compassionate, patient and positive from within abundantly which does not require so much physical attention because though

One and I the integral part of a Being Last year at this time I wrote about this topic but lately, had some more thoughts about it. One created us in his own miniature image and along with an ego,    ' I ' as a part of our being. We were put on earth for a limited time to explore and then return home.  So far, from experience, observation, and various scriptures I have come to the conclusion that the challenge is to coexist with One and I, within us at the same time.  One is about all, the Universe and I is concerned only, about me and mine. The journey is difficult but according to Eastern Masters (they are the ones I am more familiar with) is to teach the I, the mind, about the One Creator.  This is the true purpose of life.  The mind is on an egoistic journey and our purpose is to remind it of the One, The Creator with love, patience, and countless times, in such a way that it follows us on our life journey instead of us following it and getting lost in the

TIME TO STOP BLAMING THE MIND The Mind is a gift to be used as we wish. It is like an empty disc. It  STORES everything that you put in through all six senses.    It extracts what is needed, as things come up as, per program you put in.  It cannot think on its own. You are responsible for its action.   Y ou want it to behave you have to control as to what you expose your senses to. It is tough because most times we are not mindful of what we are:   watching, thinking, touching or listening.  One who understands this is in total control of mind and is at peace.

How Rushing Ruins Lives of Parents and Children   The day begun with rush is aiming for a crush. In rush, you loose your patience, love, and balance. A husband shouts for his wants for he has to rush ! A mother/wife's  voice escalates with anger to get the kids to wake up and rush! Now that I see others do that I repent for having created all that fuss in my younger life. How can the rest of the day be nice if it begins with nothing but rush. I doubt the husband, wife or the young child, on reaching work or school will be fresh. Each member contributes toward this, unaware how they are making their lives a big mess. Mindfulness and awareness of thought and action and the resulting reaction can only save us. Adults need to be aware for the child, it is their responsibility. Punishing is a temporary fix forget that. In power you can do that but long term you are setting up tense relationship with the child for later years. And the hurt you are creating within that child is creating l
