"You are" sculptorer of own destiny

In my childhood I had visited Swami Narayan Mandir (Ahemdabad) with my family. Though I was not so matured at that time, but I still remember one beautiful sculpture present in one of the room. It was very much like one appearing below. In one hand sculpture there was hammer and in another chisel. One person present inside room explained deep rooted meaning in that wonderful sculpture. He simply said "God has given us every thing to us. He has given us Hammer and chisel to us, now its up to us how we want to design our self". How true it is!

We have all the equipment with us. Its just question of how we use them. You get shape of your destiny based on  how skillfully you have played with your tools. It is a power which has been provided by Creator to us. Power always comes with responsibility. Responsibility towards whom? I would say responsibility towards Creator. You have been created on this earth for some unique purpose, for achieving that purpose you have been provided with all tools and authority. If you are not utilizing your full potential or mis utilizing it then it will lead to your under development. Which simply means you have deviated from your purpose of life.

"Thoughts" are like hammer on chisel. Your force of hammer (Thoughts) passes through chisel(Action) and it moulds the Sculpture (Your Life). "Rome was not built in one day". So even your Beautiful sculpture called life is not going to be built in single day. Your every thought has an immense power. Some time it even does not get converted in to actions but directly in to result.

Some times unknowing we give signals to our mind. For example you If you like to listen sad songs, you like to see emotional (heart break kind) movie, or write some sad story then unknowingly activating negative force. Which may come back to you too.

So take charge of your life.Give yourself daily hammer of of Smile, Positivity and Love. At end of the day we want to be happy and being loved. Then why not see some thing that makes you happy, do some thing that makes you happy, write some thing that creates happiness.

Just see beauty of creation:- When you are happy (In journey and not in destination) you are in alignment with purpose of your life and you have automatically sculptured your destiny (without even thinking about it)

Spirituality is to be child again.........

(inspired by many discourses of Gurudev-H. H. Sri Sri. Ravi Shankar)

Often people link spirituality to oldness. If someone practices spirituality then he is tagged as "old", "raw", "serious", etc etc...But the person who is into it only knows how wonderful it is. Spirituality is not sitting silently or being serious at all. Its just like being new born child daily. Spirituality in simple word "getting intimated with your soul" and being child again.

We give time to our body and decorate it with nice clothes, perfumes, accessories. We even give time to others by thinking about them (good or bad), speaking to them, being with them. On a external level we give time to ourselves too. That is we think about us from our "Ego" perspective. "What is there for me?", "I did this", " I will have to do this to impress them", etc... Our internal communication goes on in respect to our ego. 

But we forget to communicate with our internal soul. It is the space where you really exist. When you visit yourself you realize who you really are. You are not Mr. / Ms/ Dr. / CA,  You are not CEO, Clerk, MD or Peon, You are not even friend of some one, daughter or son of some one, you are not even beautiful, intelligent or artist. You start appreciating fact that you are just "You". We link ourselves to some traits, qualification, designation or any relation. But YOU- yourself are an absolute concept and this is just like going to your childhood again.

When were child we did stupid things not to impress any one but because we liked it. We just loved what we do. Child sees every thing with keen eyes and cherishes images what he captures. He even feels happy watching his own hands. He cries, laughs, waves hand, moves legs, does thing what he likes. He gives his 100% in what he does. When you are spiritual you actually do the same thing. You do what you feel like, you don't wait for certain point to be reached in order to be happy.

Love, Happiness and natural Positivity  is part of spirituality. No beer, Party, drugs can sustain your laughter for longer time. only drug of "Spirituality" can make your life awesome and worth living. So it time to be child again, enjoy the nature, rejoice yourself.      

Get dissolved... Flow with Water, Blow with Air...Be 100%

Sri Sri Ravishankar often quotes "Are You 100% here? I don't want half of you here and rest half somewhere outside."

We need to learn the simple fact that whatever we are doing we should do it one hundred percent then only we will cherish that activity.

Many times we keep on doing the things for just sake of doing, for example simple good morning to our boss. Do we really mean it? It often becomes just statement with no meaning attached to it. But if we do it with grace and feeling of enthusiasm then we will really cherish some of the simple and routine things of our life too. 

We become very mechanical sometimes and do certain activity without any feeling like doing it.

Problem of our mind is that it always runs always from the present moment. If we are at work, we think "When the hell I will go home?", or "Weekend is so Far". Or "Working on weekend makes me Crazy" or...........................

And when we are at home: "I have hell lot of work to do next week" or "I hope my manager will be impressed with my work” Or .......................

When we are at office we think of home and when we are in home we think of office. Thereby we fail to enjoy office or even home.

Just be where you are. Don’t worry about other thing when you are doing something.

When you are dancing just dance with 100% joy in to it, like no one is watching you. Fully get dissolved in the music.

Whenever you do any activity with 100% grace then your will definitely get the Best result.
