### Preface

Spiritual Youth is philosophical thoughts to empower the modern man. In the age of modernization of the material world, the modern men become restless and ignore to realize the real world. Through this book I have tried to discuss a philosophy that would help the modern men to enjoy the material world with real sense.

Spiritual Youth does not preach the men to go away from the material world rather it emphasizes the growth of the men in the material world. The material world is made for the human beings. The philosophy discussed in this book may help the human beings to create opportunity for their growth, to realize their existence and to realize the divinity within them while enjoying the material world.

The philosophy discussed in this book may help the human beings to recognize the power of his freewill and how to execute it. This book covers most of the elements of human life like health, wealth, success and happiness. Those who pick up this book are requested to read completely and if necessary read it many times. I hope this book will be helpful to know yourself, to know your responsibilities and to know how to achieve the goals in your life.

The emphasis is given for self realization through self analysis. The person himself is the best critics for his work and words. You are made to win; you are made to enjoy this magnificent creation of the Supreme Soul.

The human beings are here in this universe to flourish not to perish.

Chapter-1

### Spiritual Youth

When I say youth, definitely you would imagine a person at the age in between 20-40 years or extended up to 50 years. Definitely the person at age close to 60 and above is called as old age. A successful politician at the age of 60 – 70 is called as young leader and above 70 called as veteran. The definition of youth is changing from field of work point of view.

The youth is the state of mind rather than the age of a person. This state of the mind of human being represents energy, maturity, vigour, willingness to take up any task, knowledge for understanding the situations in life etc.

Everybody in this world wants to stay young. They do different things in life to stay young, change their food habits to reduce the aging effects, do physical exercises, use different skin care cosmetics etc. But as I told that youth is a state of the mind, do you feel that doing this kind of activity really affect? These activities can only put the physical body into a good shape and shining skin.

To change the state of mind, the material world is not helpful. External world does not have any impact on the state of mind. To give a shape to the state of mind proper knowledge is required that knowledge which is helpful for the development of consciousness.

The state of the mind only can be changed through understanding. Understanding comes from knowledge and experience. The knowledge is gained from the legacy that we have already from our ancestors. They have created this legacy through their knowledge and experience. This legacy is present in the form of books, scriptures, spiritual literatures etc. And the experience comes from the confronted situations in life.

How we face the situations and either come out successfully or unsuccessfully that does not matter but the knowledge that we gain from any situations in our life that is important. That experience acts like recurring deposits in banks. As we do recurring deposits time to time in small amounts but at the end we get a good amount that is helpful in our life; situations to situations we gain experience and deposit that understanding in our mind, transform our mind according to that gain and utilize this understanding in later part of our life, may be for a bigger event.

As I told the youthfulness of a person represents energy, vigour, maturity, understanding of any situations then what you feel when I say Spiritual Youth?

Spiritual Youth are two words; two having broader prospective. When I say spiritual, it is difficult to define it within few words. When I say youth you could have understand its meaning from the above discussions. But when I congregate these two words to Spiritual Youth, the meaning of it becomes very wide. It may takes hundreds of pages to define it, to describe it, to understand it. It is a difficult task to finish but from the blessings of the Supreme Soul, I wish, I could be able to put some light on this matter in following pages of this book.

The essence of spirituality is to understand the purpose of life, to understand the purpose of the creation of the whole universe by the Supreme Soul, to understand the creation of the mankind.

Do you realize that this is an easy task?

Do you imagine that without effort one could understand everything about spirituality?

Till date have you understand the purpose of your life?

No doubt, it is not that easy to understand the purpose of our existence, purpose of the universe!

You may ask one question; when you are leading a beautiful life, you have a family, good friends, you have wealth; either you are earning or from your parental properties then why to understand the purpose of life, purpose of the universe?

What is the need to waste time and effort to know all these?

You may think that you are in a lucrative job, earning good amount of money, managing your family well, the earning is enough to meet the requirements for the necessity and also for luxury then why to put effort to know the purpose of life?

But one thing I would like to state that whatever good you have in your life without understanding the purpose of those good things, it becomes useless.

If you understand the purpose and lead your life whatever good you have, you would be able to lead a better life, you would transcend in every sphere of your life.

The purpose of your existence is to know your purpose of existence.

If we observe the life cycle of the human being, we see that human being gets birth as an infant, slowly grows to childhood, to adolescence, to youth, stays in youth stage for few decades than start decaying to old age and at last dies.

Along with its physical growth, the human being gains knowledge, gain experience from childhood to youth and also keep on gaining knowledge and experience till death. During this cycle of life there are lows in both sides as childhood and old age and there is a peak at youth. If we draw as a curve it looks like a picture perfect hill. Both sides of the low portion of the hill represents childhood and old age where as the top represents the youth.

Likewise gaining knowledge about spirituality may start at any stage of life but it goes through infant stage, childhood stage, adolescence stage and then reaches to youth; a state of maturity, state of vigour.

When any human being starts learning about spirituality as an innocent child he does not know anything. As a child couldn't know how to crawl but tries hard, when couldn't stand on its knees and hands he restrains and cries, take rest than again starts his job of trials. When he starts walking, he could learn with the help of his family members, father, mother, elder brothers, sisters, grandfather, grandmother etc. The child's soft fist holds the fingure of elders and then starts walking. So to walk through the spiritual journey we need help of others. But the first and foremost is the willing to start the spiritual journey and willing to try and try like a child; the willing not to stop like the child does not stop crawling until he succeeds, does not stop until he stands on his own feet. So the willingness is indispensable to start the spiritual journey.

Adolescence stage of human life is little bit confusing. Biological changes takes place in physical body, concern about study, concern about career starts at this age. Though in childhood we keep on reading, doing the home work, but real concern about future starts at the age of adolescence. This is the age of human life one has to choose between good and bad. Independency of life also starts from this age. Decision making ability also starts from this age. One has to be watchful at this stage of life.

If I talk about spiritual adolescence, it is the stage of spiritual journey when the human being has to choose; he has to choose which way to adopt, which way to follow. There are many endless paths for spiritual journey. When there are many options no doubt confusion starts. One thing is clear, whatever path you follow that does not matter because all the paths merge at one point. That point is called as enlightenment.

Do you feel that this term of enlightenment is not for you?

It is for everyone, it is for every human being those get birth into this magnificent universe. Be prepared for that. This is for those human beings who wish to get it, who keep on trying to get it. This is the rights of each and every human being that who gets birth into this universe but with certain conditions. Here conditions apply to get enlightenment.

You might not know there are people around you, common people those are enlightened. Enlightenment does not come through wealth; it comes through the state of the mind.

So, one has to focus for getting enlightenment through knowledge and understanding. Keep on working. The work involves gaining the knowledge; the transcendental knowledge, the knowledge to recognize the presence of the consciousness of the Supreme Soul within each and every living being present around us.

The work for acquiring knowledge is discussed in the next chapters in this book.

The age of youth represents knowledge, energy and vigour. Up to the age of youth a human being learnt many things through childhood and adolescence. This is the age to start applying the knowledge that he has learnt and also keep on learning. That is why this stage of human life is known as the peak stage. This is the stage where the human being glares. He has the ability to do the hard work and same time sprinkle the bright light for others, family members, relatives, any other human beings. Sprinkle the bright light here represents the extension of the helping hand, spreading the transcendental love and knowledge, recognizing the purpose of his existence and help others to know the purpose.

By this stage of human life clarity comes to mind unlike in adolescence age. Due to clarity he is able to choose between good and bad, what to do and what not to do. This is the age he could utilize his ability to know the limit of his intellect. This is quite indispensable for better life. One has to accept that there is a limit to each and every human intellect. The limit may be high or low. One has to know the limit, has to work accordingly to his ability and has to satisfy the liabilities of his family; materially and morally. There is lot of responsibility of human being at the state of youth. Still it is the stage where the youth glares.

When I am talking about spiritual youth, it is different than the age of youth in human life. Spiritual youth is the stage of human life where he gains the transcendental knowledge, where he starts applying this knowledge in real life, where he solves his own problems and also that of others with application of transcendental knowledge, where he could be able to recognize the presence of consciousness of the Supreme Soul everywhere within every living being.

In general the childhood stage of human life does not coincide with the childhood stage of the spirituality; the youth stage of human life does not coincide with the spiritual youth.

Is it possible for the human being to coincide youth stage of life with spiritual youth?

If it is, then the life of that human being becomes insurmountable. He could be able to enjoy the life with transcendental love as well as the material world.

In general this does not happen. The youth stage of human life does not coincide with the spiritual youth. Can we make it?

Yes, it is possible.

If it is not possible, do not worry. When the human being exercises his freewill to start the spiritual journey, the infant stage starts there. It may be of any age of human life. Slowly that goes through childhood, adolescence and reaches to youth, where he transcends.

The intention is important. Without one's intention nobody can help in this matter. The intention should come from within.

For an example let us imagine a person wish to start the spiritual journey at the age of 40 years. As an infant at the age of 40, he should keep on trying to gain knowledge. The knowledge may come from books, from good association of people, from any guru. This knowledge is not like the knowledge required for getting a professional job.

Then the confusion starts. You may ask questions; when it is not useful in professional job then why to waste time, why to waste money for purchasing self-help or spiritual books, why to join any voluntary organization, why to associate with other people?

One has to vanquish these doubts and focus on growth towards spiritual journey. Reading self-help and spiritual books is like saving small amount of money in piggy banks. We save in small amount but when break it we could get a substantial amount that fulfils some of our requirements.

The execution of freewill is indispensible for the spiritual journey. Once you have decided to go, don't stop.

So, when a human being could start his spiritual journey at the age of 40, he could reach the childhood stage by the age of 50 even more. You may be surprised when a child just takes 4-5 years to cover up from infant to childhood stage than why it is higher in this case? It is like that only.

Spiritual journey does not complete in one life. It may take several lives. According to Bhagavad Gita a human being could be able to gain transcendental knowledge after many cycles of birth and death.

So the first requirement for the spiritual journey is the intention to start and the second requirement is patience.

Without patience spiritual journey could not be completed even could not be carry on. It is not like a long jump; you could jump from one spot to other in a fraction of a minute. It is like an endless marathon. You have to run or walk but you don't know where to stop, where the end is.

Here the end is not fixed, you are not able to choose the end but only the Supreme Soul would decide the end of your marathon. Only the Supreme Soul could show the red flag where to stop. That depends upon the intention to run this marathon that requires patience to face each and every difficulties those come during this marathon and that requires the transcendental knowledge to conquer these difficulties.

So I add the transcendental knowledge to the intention and patience as the requirement for the marathon of spiritual journey.

With intention to run with patience to face the difficulties and with intention to gain transdental knowledge one enter into the adolescence age of spirituality. When one person starts the spiritual journey at the age of 40, he could reach the stage of adolescence of spirituality at the age of 70 or above. As I have told earlier in this stage of confusion, one has to be firm on his intention. One has to focus on gaining the knowledge through perseverance.

If one goes in this manner one could gain the spiritual youth at his 90s. At this age one could attain the spirituality and about to savour its fruit, about to savour the transcendental love.

One question may come to your mind; what is the usefulness of this attainment at the age when the human being hardly about to walk?

I can say that if one person could be able to attain spirituality at the age of 90s then it is great achievement.

Don't forget that we the human beings get birth for several lives, for several cycles of birth and death. At the birth the human being comes with two gifts from the Supreme Soul as his physical body and his consciousness. But at the death the human being carries only the consciousness to next life. So by attaining spiritual youth at the age of 90s, do not bemoan. Be happy that you could achieve it in this life so that you would be able to savour its fruit in very early stage of your next life. May be what I intend to say the coincidence of spiritual youth with the youth stage of your life would happen.

This is what needed in human life; the merging of spiritual youth with the youth stage of human life.

What are the benefits out of this merging?

But I stress that those who are in their adolescence age why to wait for another 25 years to start the spiritual journey? Why not now? Why not from the childhood stage one could start the spiritual journey?

If you could be able to start this journey from the childhood stage or adolescence age, one could savour the fruit of spirituality at very early stage of his life so that he could hold that period for long time in the present life. As like the old age of human life comes down from the peak, the peak of spiritual youth does not fall down. Once it is reached at the peak that sustains for life after life until it merges with the consciousness of the Supreme Soul.

Spirituality does not limit only to sit in a place of worship and meditate on God. You may belong to different sect in the society; the spirituality is same for the people of all the sects. It is to know the purpose of the creation of the whole universe, purpose of creation of the mankind by the Supreme Soul. And most important how one human being is able to help the Supreme Soul for his creation.

Spirituality does not limit only for the chanting of the name of the God. It is the act of the human being to create the material requirements for other human being. It is required to feed the huge number of human beings. It is required to make and supply cloths for them to cover their body from the effect of cold and hot weather. It is required to provide shelters for human beings. It is required to provide medicines for ailments from deadly diseases. It is required to provide each and every need for human civilization. But a single person can't do all these things together. Do not worry for that.

You prepare yourself to do your part only. According to your ability, your limitations, your integrity you could contribute. Contribute honestly. You may be able only to feed your family, provide shelters only to your family members, provide all material requirements only for your family members but you could have highest feelings for other human beings. Feelings of love, affection, caring, understanding others problem could guide you through spiritual journey.

Whatever profession you have that does not matter. But integrity is required in your job. By discharging your prescribed duty honestly, no doubt you are earning money for your family, at the same time you are also fulfilling the requirements of the other human beings. If you are a farmer, working in the agricultural field, you earn money for your living and also you are helping others by providing food.

Requirements of the human habitation does not limit only to the materials. If you are a bureaucrat then the policies that you make should be helpful and comply with the purpose of the Supreme Soul for creating mankind. If you could discern the problems of the mankind and are able to make some fruitful policies by which it would be beneficial for the human habitation, definitely you are helping the Supreme Soul. You are satisfying the requirements for your spiritual journey. When we see smile on human face those are benefited from your policy, definitely you feel that highest feeling of elation with satisfaction.

If you are a civil engineer and working in a company that works for construction of buildings, roads and bridges, you are also helping the human civilization for better communication along with your earnings. You are earning money for your family and providing better life for others. To comply with spirituality you have to discharge your duty with integrity.

A labour in a construction company may earn little amount of money and may face difficulties to meet the requirements of his family but by doing his work for construction of apartments, roads, bridges etc. he is helping the civilization. He is helping the Supreme Soul for providing better life.

It is difficult to mention all the professional jobs but one fact is clear that we have to work. We have to work according to our knowledge and ability. We have to work for the Supreme Soul. Because He is willing to create as many number of human beings as possible. He wants to see many numbers of human beings admire at him. He wants to hear appraisal from many number of human beings. He wants to exchange highest feelings like love, affection, caring with each and every human being.

So it is time to work, work hard with integrity, work to fulfil the purpose of the Supreme Soul. It is time to earn money. Make others capable to earn money, earn money with honesty. Without money you can't enjoy the material world, if you do not enjoy the material world you would not be able to praise the Lord. You may not be able to recognize the purpose of the Supreme Soul for creating this magnificent universe. You may not be able to recognize the presence of the consciousness of the Supreme Soul in each and every living being. If you are not able to recognize the presence of the consciousness of the Supreme Soul, you could not achieve spiritual youth. So arise and awake, work hard, stop not till the goal is reached.

With the energy and vigour of a youth and transcendental knowledge you are able to create wonder in life.

You are here to enjoy. You have that potential within you to enjoy your life and make others capable to enjoy their life. Your spiritual journey would be successful when you are able to provide the requirements of many numbers of human being by your work. So try to attain the spiritual youth and enjoy it.

Following chapters will provide information for how to prepare you for the spiritual journey. Always a journey is full of hurdles. Without hurdles the journey may not be enjoyable. With the hurdles in your journey when you reached at the goal, that journey becomes charming.

Information is there about the hurdles and its remedies. I hope information those are discussed in the following chapters will be helpful for a better life, better future and better understanding about the spirituality.

We have to work for our living. Karma is important, but knowledge is superior to karma. Performing karma with proper knowledge would elevate our soul towards spirituality.

Let us live our life.

### Chapter-2

### Saints of Modern Age

When I talk about sainthood, you may have imagined a person, who has departed from his family, adopted a particular sect for worshiping God and staying away from the human civilization either in a cave or in a jungle or any isolated places. He might have dedicated his life to find out the truths about his existence and the truth about the human existence etc through practising austerities.

Yes, this was the case few centuries ago. That time it was needed to know the truth.

Two types of needs are there for human habitation. One is material need and the other one is knowledge. Even without knowledge it is difficult to create and use the material world.

The knowledge is again of two types. One is to create and use the material world and the second one is to develop the human intellect, the human consciousness. Both the knowledge could be acquired through perseverance, through austerities. Both type of knowledge are required for the human civilization.

Before doing anything we should have proper knowledge. That is what our ancestors were doing centuries ago; adopting sainthood. Sacrificing their material enjoyment, staying away from human habitation, in the lap of Mother Nature they tried to find out many truths for human civilization.

You may ask questions what is the need to stay away from the human civilization to find out the truth?

Many lessons, teachings those are written in religious, mythological books, scriptures, vedas and puranas are based on natural laws those are happening around us. These are awareness created around the human being by the nature. To catch this awareness the human mind should be free from puzzles, free from doubts and free from unnecessary thoughts.

To catch this awareness the state of the human mind should be calm, quite and anxious to know. It was difficult to create such a state of the mind staying close to the human habitation. That was the reason the sainthood grown in caves, jungles and isolated places.

The saints of the ancient times did their jobs very well. The facts were necessary for life and they had created it through austerities. They had created the required knowledge to discern the purpose of the life, purpose of the Supreme Soul. They were able to recognize the consciousness of the Supreme Soul.

They had created lessons for every aspects of human life. They had created the ways for other human being to live a better life. They had created many precedents for the next generation. Up to date there are many lessons, teachings present with us for betterment of our life for development of our consciousness and development of our intellect.

From the very beginning; beginning of the human civilization, the saints were able to recognize the need for the development of human intellect. It is essential. Without developed intellect the human being could not be able to know the purpose of life. For development of the intellect the blessings of the Supreme Soul is needed. Without His blessings it is not possible.

When you want anything from others, you have to ask for help. Without asking do you get help from others? Hardly this happens!

Likewise the saints developed different methods for asking help from the Supreme Soul. Those methods are now presents as meditation, prayers, chanting mantras etc.

There are ways to do meditation discussed in many texts. Mantras are agglomeration of suitable words made for a particular prayer.

So, I want to say that there are lessons, texts and literatures in abundance for development of the intellect, for development consciousness. There may not be any need for the creation of the facts, lessons or texts now. But we are lucky enough to have it unlike our ancestors. We have to move forward.

The definition of the sainthood has to be redefined in modern age. The need for the modern age is different. Our ancestors did their part by creating lessons, facts through austerities. We have to utilize them for betterment of human civilization. We have to work with austerities. Without austerities success never happens.

In this modern age the demand is different, conditions are different but one thing doesn't change that is to know the purpose and comply with the purpose; the purpose of existence and purpose of the Supreme Soul.

What is that purpose?

The purpose is to love the Supreme Soul and to be loved by the Supreme Soul.

How is it possible?

It is possible through the mankind. Love the mankind and keep your intension to be loved by the mankind.

To be loved by the other human being you can't force anybody. But you can create circumstances in which the human being could love you unconditionally.

You have to purify your propensities through knowledge. First you have to glare at the darkness of ignorance. Material enjoyment of your senses may divert your intentions but you have to reach the destination.

The material world is made for you by the Supreme Soul, so that you could enjoy it and admire the Supreme Soul for its beauties. It is not bad to enjoy the material world. But at the same time you could not forget to express your gratitude for the magnificent creation of the material world around you.

Each and every creation of the material world is due to the intention to create by the Supreme Soul. There is presence of consciousness of the Supreme Soul in each and every element around you in the material world. It is said in Bhagavad Gita that the Supreme consciousness is present in each and every elements in their initial stage, middle stage and the final stage.

According to modern science there is no loss of energy, it can only be transferred from one form to other. This energy is in the form of consciousness.

This knowledge is required to be acquired by the modern man. We have to accept the presence of the Supreme Consciousness around us, within us.

So the modern sainthood is defined to acquire the transcendental knowledge, to be able to recognize the presence of the Supreme Soul around us and within us and work hard to meet the requirements of the human habitation. Adopt the principles of austerities to achieve lofty goals in your life.

There may not be any need to adopt a particular dress code to show your sainthood. You may be in suit, boot, jeans, sari & salwar (for ladies) but the intention should hold that of sainthood.

The modern saints are those who are able to create things by themselves, who are able to feed many human beings, who are able to solve problems of many human beings through non-violence, who are able to create opportunities for other human beings to live a better life. Opportunities may be big or small that does not matter. But intention for creating opportunities is important.

As a modern saint you could enjoy the material world, you could prepare yourself for development of your intellect, you could prepare yourself for establishing a connection between your consciousness and that of the Supreme Soul.

In following sections I have tried to discuss many matters those are helpful to meet the above requirements to transcendent your sainthood in this modern age.

### Physical Body:

At birth we are blessed with two important gifts from the Supreme Soul. One is our physical body and the second one is the consciousness. But at the death the physical body will perish but the consciousness will go along with you for the next life. There are many literatures from many religions those suggest for the reincarnation of human life. So we have to accept that. If the physical body is perishable at the death then what is the need to give importance to it?

Physical body is a medium for the development of the intellect, development of the consciousness; which is the main aim of the human life. Without the physical body development of the consciousness is not possible. So it is our duty to keep the physical body fit.

Body requires water, requires oxygen and requires food. Naturally we are taking oxygen but to take more oxygen we need to do some work. There are ways of breathing exercises known as pranayam which teaches us to supply more oxygen to the body. Physical exercise keeps the body fit. Regular physical exercise irrespective of age helps to release the unnecessary elements from the body and also releases the negative energy from the mind. That you can realize by yourself.

When you are stressed, feeling low, go for a long walk in a green environment or a grassy field. Then feel the difference. Definitely you would feel relaxed. A regular workout for the physical activities keeps the body rejuvenated.

A diet is essential for the body but your senses may require having more taste. So you have to keep balance between taste and nutrition. I mean to say that to progress in our life health is important factor. We should not compromise with health.

Compromising with health may give you some short term gain but for the long race, for a long marathon of life you have to be healthy. Staying healthy is the first requirement for achieving sainthood. If body is fit you could do more work and think in a better way.

It is the physical body through which we could express our self. Even higher self of Godhood in the universe could not express by any other means. That is why in Bhagavad Gita Lord Shri Krishna told that He take incarnations as human being, take the form of human body and performs the duty of the human being, live life of a common man so that this would set as examples for others to follow. In this way the Supreme Soul could establish a beautiful universe. If the human being would not be taught by the Supreme Soul how to live, there may be growth of unwanted population which is destructive for the purpose of the creation of the universe.

It is your duty to keep your physical body healthy. As long as you keep your physical body healthy, you are able to accomplish your goals. If you do not, then no one can do it for you. There should not be any excuses for it.

### Chapter-3

### Human Propensity

For any shorts of expression and reaction towards any situations in our day to day life, we find excuses to find ourselves at the top. Knowledge and expression are two different aspects of life. Though we know how to react either in adverse situations or in conducive situations, in practice, we could not be able to hold that temperament. Sometimes we become aggressive and this aggressiveness comes spontaneously. We may not hold our self back from reacting to any statement or situations. Many times though you do not want to express aggressively but it does happen. This situation may not happen for each and every individual but it does for many people around us.

There are many people those are dedicated to their work, hard working and have a feelings of patriotism for which they become sincere, fall prey due to the straightness of their behaviour. Though they think they are good at work but they are unable to hold their temperament to any adverse discussion, arguments etc. and become aggressive spontaneously. Because of this aggressiveness people become envy of them.

This type of situations teaches us to be diplomatic. Diplomatic thought and expressions are required for our growth. When you are able to hold diplomatic character for a constructive reason, there is nothing wrong in it.

But the diplomatic character when used to hurt any body's emotion, properties or life then it becomes vicious. For growth of our career and for development of our intellect it is required to be diplomatic.

Any mediocre mind can criticize, condemn and complain and most of them do.

When dealing with other people, you should remember that you are not dealing with people of logic. You are dealing with human beings with emotion and motivated by pride and self esteem.

Instead of condemning people let's understand them. Let's try to figure out why they do what they do.

If we observe closely we could conclude that human beings are most interesting creatures on earth. Everybody wants to be appreciated; it is a natural urge within each and every human being.

Whenever any human being faces any situation that is adverse to his expectations and opposes his worthiness, by virtue of this urge for appreciation, he starts to save himself.

Such human being starts putting up many ideas, thoughts, excuses those could establish his work or words worthiness. But situations become different when he couldn't able to cross his own limit. One thing is to remember that the individual intellect of every human being is limited.

So aggressiveness comes when the human being couldn't think beyond his limit but tend to protect his self esteem. This is the point when sometimes we could see violent behaviour even with serene personalities.

The serenity has also a limit. That limit is also limited by the individual intellect. Sometimes this is a surprise to see any serene person shouting at others, condemning other people. Here the temperament is not under control. Still I would wish that the person with serenity should learn how to control their temperament during adverse situations.

It is worth to add a statement here "we should remember that a sword can cut our lags, a stone can hurt our physical body still we wouldn't allow our self to be hurt by any words from others".

It is indispensable to learn the human character, the propensities of human being; the origin of these propensities. It is the education of the each individual that makes him able to rectify own propensities and to recognize that of others. When a human being is able to recognize the propensities of other individual and knows how to handle that, he is definitely going to love this creation of the Lord.

The aim of education is not limited to gain knowledge but it is for action. The power of knowledge blossoms only through action.

Here I would like to discuss origins of human propensity through two important logical lessons, one from genetic science and the other from Bhagavad Gita. These two subjects are discussed in the following sections.

### Genetic Science:

It is a vast subject; I am neither an expert in this field nor do any scientific work in genetic science. But I feel it would be helpful for the readers of this book to understand human life. So I like to discuss the over view of this subject in few lines.

According to genetic science each human being is created from 48 chromosomes out of which 24 come from the father and 24 come from the mother. The type of properties of the human being is decided by these 48 chromosomes those are from father and mother.

Each chromosome consists of thousands of stories called genes. Each gene is made up of paragraphs called Exons, which interrupted by advertisements called Introns. Each Exon is made up of words called Condon. Each word is written in letters called Bases. There are only 4 letters.

To specify the character of the human being even one gene is enough. You may be surprised to know that human gene is not created in a regular manner rather it is created in random manner. The gene is defined by the chemical reactions those are going on continuously in the human body.

The physical, moral, intellectual values with which a person gets birth, to find out another person exactly having the same value, we have to search among 300000 billion numbers of persons. In other way if a person having 300000 billion brothers and sisters from the same parents, it is difficult to find out two brothers and sisters exactly the same with physical, moral, intellectual values. This is not an estimated number but this is based on scientific facts.

In short we can say that each and every human being is special. As many as human beings are there in this universe, those many individual personalities exists. You are special and so as the other person.

Each and every necessity for the human life like the growth of the physical body, history of its generation, resistive power to diseases, resistive power to face the adverse conditions, memory, free will and ego are decided by the gene. All the properties; good and bad, own personalities etc. are instilled in the gene. If the gene of a human being is decoded and written on papers it would be a book of about 1.5 million of pages. All these facts are instilled in to a cell of micrometer size.

Which properties of the gene would work in particular situations is decided by the nature and the nurture of the person. Here the nature means the natural properties which are instilled into the gene during the birth and the nurture is the way in which the person is grown up during his infant, childhood and adolescence stages.

The type of actions and reactions to any situations you do that is due to the programming of your gene. Each individual gene is randomly and fearfully made. The way you think, the way you perceive to any situations is different than others. If you could recognize your personalities and compare it with an average individual as a reference, then you might get many ways either to be happy or to rectify your short comings.

Self realization is the best way to know the merits and demerits of your own instincts. Own instincts sometimes are beneficial but sometimes creates trouble in life.

Be your own critics. Criticize your own work when you find it wrong and try to rectify it next time.

When you are criticized and condemned don't feel that it might be hundred percent your fault. Sometimes people criticize heavily and condemned other people because this gives a feeling of their importance. Just because of these feelings people don't restrain them to criticize others. Many people get satisfaction out of stigmatising those who are better educated and more successful than they are.

Everybody has a good impression and opinion for his personalities and work. Everybody has an opinion that I am good and everything belongs to me is also good. But the opinions of our critics, our enemies come close to the truth about us.

When we face any criticism about us, we suddenly start defending without listening to the critics. Be a good listener. Listen first completely to your critic's then exercise your logic mind to find out the truth through self realization. Don't be emotional about yourself. Yes, we are born with more emotional instincts rather than with logical instincts. Logical mind lost like a pearl in the sea of emotions.

Hence it is our duty to recognize the shortcomings of our inherited instincts and tend to rectify it through knowledge. The instincts are affected by nature and nurture. Though there may be few negative instincts within us, but by accepting that truth and many trials to revolve in life through nurture, no doubt a day will come when we would be able to be free from those negative instincts.

Accepting the truth about our inherited instincts is a first step for purification. Second is the self realization and acquiring proper knowledge. The third step is the execution of the knowledge to rectify that instinct. It does not happen all at once. It takes time, may be months, years or a life time.

Be a saint, have patience and perseverance, adopt the way of austerities to rectify the inherited propensity for betterment of your life and development of your intellect and your consciousness.

### Bhagavad Consciousness:

Many religious and spiritual thoughts suggest that the whole universe is created by the Supreme Soul. There was nothing before the creation of this universe except the consciousness of the Supreme Soul. The consciousness has no physical form, no shape and no size; so it can be considered as nothing. Out of nothing the whole universe was created by the consciousness of the Supreme Soul. The whole universe was created out of the glory of the consciousness of the Supreme Soul.

In Shrimad Bhagavad Mahapuran of the Hindu religion, the stages were described in which the Supreme Soul started the creation of the universe.

At the first stage the Supreme Soul created the feelings in His consciousness. It is the feelings which inspired the consciousness of the Supreme Soul to create the magnificent universe out of nothing. It is the feelings for which the whole universe and the mankind were created, so that it could be felt by many.

At the second stage of designing, the consciousness of the Supreme Soul created ego. The creation of the ego is necessary for acquiring knowledge and its application for the creation of the material world and for spiritual growth. Ego of the human being is a necessity, it is not worthless. It is up to each individual how to channelize the ego either for creative activity or for destructive activity. The ego works in both ways either constructive or destructive.

After creation of the ego which is necessary for the creation of the material world, the Supreme Soul created the basic elements those are necessary to build the mater. The human ego can make the material but not the basic elements. The basic elements are designed and created by the Supreme Soul. In these elements the Supreme Soul instilled the divine consciousness.

The consciousness of the Supreme Soul is instilled in all the elements of the material world. The Supreme Soul is the initial, the middle and the final stage of all the mater.

All the mater initiated from the consciousness, appear in the universe and when disappear that merge with the consciousness of the Supreme Soul.

When the designing of the basic elements was done, the Supreme Soul designed and created the senses in the fourth stage.

When the material was created then how to feel it?

Except the sense is it possible for the human being to feel and enjoy the material world?

Do you admire the Supreme Soul for the sequence in which He had created the universe? The design steps are really marvellous.

Once the senses were created, the Supreme Soul created the mind to control these senses in the fifth stage of designing. The mind is the ruler of the senses. The mind asks the senses to work and enjoy the effect.

At the sixth stage of the designing the quality of ignorance was created. This quality has great energy. This quality is used for the destruction of the universe rather than creation of it. It is applied for criticism of any creation.

Definitely unless any creation is criticised its virtue would not come out.

As the part of the sixth stage of the designing the quality of passion was created. The whole universe is created from the quality of passion, which tend to state the ownership.

Without possessiveness creation of anything is not possible, even not for the Supreme Soul.

So from the above discussion, we can't say the existence of ego, quality of passion and quality of ignorance is worthless. These are necessary for creation. The feelings which were created at the first stage of the creation represent the quality of goodness.

All these three qualities, i.e. quality of goodness, quality of passion and quality of ignorance if not present together, it would be difficult to prove the quality of goodness as superior.

Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of senses, control of mind, happiness, distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, violence, non-violence, equanimity, satisfaction, frustration, selfishness, kindness, austerities, charity, fame and defame all these various qualities are created by the Supreme Soul alone and randomly arranged in living entities.

All the good and bad qualities those we find in human beings are created by the Supreme Soul.

While the Supreme Soul created the whole universe for exchange of highest feelings with the human beings then why the Supreme Soul didn't create only good qualities rather than creating all the three qualities?

The good qualities doesn't imbue in human mind at the first stage of life. That comes through the evolution of the consciousness from the quality of ignorance through quality of passion.

The law of contrast is a natural law. We could say something as superior to others because of the law of contrast. This law helps us to compare among many things. This helps us to find quality of goodness as superior to the quality of passion and quality of ignorance.

As all these qualities are inherited in human mind by the divinity, the persons those are in spiritual path should accept the existence of all these qualities with the human beings.

It is worthless to create any doubt about the existence of all these qualities. These will be there forever.

Those human beings who believe in the Supreme Soul, who love the Supreme Soul have to accept all those qualities. At the same time they should learn how to minimise or give away the quality of ignorance and passion within themselves. They should learn how to deal with these bad qualities in other human being with ingenuity. This is the task of each human being for evolution of his consciousness.

It is not required to understand life but we have to live the life, whereas we have to understand the human behaviour, the human propensities. This will help us for making our life better.

The human propensities are inherited from the consciousness of the Supreme Soul. We can't go away from it but we have to live with it.

Like the water droplet doesn't contact the lotus leaf but stays over it, we have to stay with all the qualities together whereas we have to learn how not to contact with it. We have to learn how not to be affected by the bad qualities.

Nature of the relationship between water droplet and the lotus leaf is required for human being to attain the spiritual youth. At this the human being only works for the purpose of the Supreme Soul without getting affected by the surroundings, by the bad qualities.

### Chapter-4

### Why Me?

In our life there are many occasions when we fail to flourish, we suffer, we lose in terms of properties, wealth even life. In frustration, distress we feel low, helpless, feel lonely and focus only on one statement "why this has happened with me; why me"?

When we see people around us even with less knowledge, no dedication for work, still they progress in life, acquired wealth, live a luxurious life in front us, that gives a negative impulse to our mind. We think that with less capacity than us how people progress, how acquired wealth?

Here I would like to express one thing that we the human beings all whether good or bad are made by the Supreme Soul. According to Hindu mythology there are three types of persons exists; demons, humans and Gods. All are the creation of the Supreme Soul. So the Supreme Soul wouldn't like to neglect one type than others.

For the Supreme Soul all are equal but the favourable are Gods and Humans still the demons are not neglected.

They are provided with utmost opportunities to rectify there character. They are provided with utmost opportunities to love the Supreme Soul.

Human beings worship Gods and the Supreme Soul. They worship for the fulfilment of their desire. According to their worship the desires are fulfilled. Demons also worship the God, the Supreme Soul. They worship through austerities. When God is satisfied with the worship of the demons, they wish to bless the demons for fulfilment of their desires.

The surprising fact is that, the Supreme Soul and the Gods are well known to one reality that when the demons are blessed to fulfil their desire they are going to utilize this blessing for destructive purpose. All the times the demons wish to overpower the humanity and the Godhood. This is a reality; known to the Gods and the Supreme Soul.

Still the Supreme Soul as well as Gods blesses the demons to fulfil their desire.

Do you imagine though the real character of the demons is well known to the Supreme Soul, then why the demons are blessed to fulfil their desire?

Why the Supreme Soul doesn't refrain from blessing the demons?

In such conditions we the human beings might refrain to do this again and again?

But as I told earlier in this chapter the demons, the humans and the Gods all are creation of the Supreme Soul. All have the right to purify their propensities for betterment of their life. Those who desire they get. This is a natural law. The intention to have lofty desires is an individual act.

The demons desire to get the blessing from the Supreme Soul; so they get. When human beings desire to get blessings from the Supreme Soul; they also get. When the Gods desire to get the blessings from the Supreme Soul; they also get.

So, I would like to state that don't bother about others around you. They are getting things done according to their wish. Don't be panic that the Supreme Soul is not with you, you are not alone in this world.

Whenever you face any stressful situation, don't say why it is happening with me; why me? It is better to say thanks for giving me these opportunities to show my strength, to make me stronger, to make me more intelligent. When you face any problem, keep in mind that there must be a way to solve it, if there is not any way then why to bother.

To find out the way we have to exercise our intellect. Due to this exercise we gain knowledge and experience.

In a class during your school time you might have observed one fact that the teacher gives harder questions to the most talented student in the class for assignments. The teacher never wastes his time and effort asking a dull student to solve the most difficult problem. The teacher may give easy questions to dull students. Definitely he wouldn't ask the dull student for harder questions.

Likewise in our life, when we face any problem whether it is big or small, one thing is clear that we are capable to solve that problem; we are capable to vanquish those difficulties. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened with us.

Whenever we stumble during the walk through the journey in our life, let us invite that stumble, let's get courage from within to stand up there and look straight into the front horizon as long as possible.

We are here to succeed, we are here to enjoy, we are here to purify our soul and we are here to rectify our character, to rectify our propensities.

All of these will not happen if we sit at home with one hand on other and thinking why me, why me, why me......

We have to break that enigma. We have to stand up and search the way to overcome the difficulties. When there is a difficulty there must be way to solve it. If there is no solution there must not be any difficulty.

When we prosper in life, when we acquire wealth, knowledge, good health, we do not say why me, why I am prospering, why I have abundance in wealth, why I have a nice family? We never say why me in good times. Only we say when we face difficulties. But during good times if we are ignorant to say why me, at least we could do one thing that is expressing our gratitude to the Supreme Soul for choosing for having all the good and the good time.

The expression of gratitude in good movements enhances our chances of getting more good movements. That enhances our chances to find out the solutions to most difficult problems that we face in our life.

The expressions of gratitude for every time we get good things open up our consciousness to execute our wisdom to attract positive situations. More we express our gratitude the probability becomes high for the getting our life easy. The difficulties may be harsh but we could sail easily through it.

The expression of gratitude not only works with divinity this also works wonder when applied to human beings.

Express the gratitude to the person who helps you and see how this gratitude works in future. Definitely you are going to get the helping hand from the same person in comfortable way. This is human nature. When you give importance to any human being he becomes a nice friend. A nice friend always tends to help.

There are many examples in the history of the humanity throughout the world how people conquer their life from most difficult situations. There are examples around us how people grow from most stressful situations. There are examples in present day in and around everybody. Because of the grace of the information technology the whole world becomes a very small place. We could get information from the extreme corner of the earth. There are many human beings even common man conquer difficulties in their life and glare. Each and every human being has that power to rise from a stumble in life.

Poverty, health, low profession may not create any hindrance to human growth. There are many great personalities we have seen in the history those who has raised from the poverty stricken childhood to the top of the world. They have ruled the world with their wisdom of knowledge.

Knowledge does not see poverty. Knowledge only enters into the mind of the person who wishes to gain it. Knowledge does not recognize which is poor man's door and which is rich man's door.

Health issues sometimes become excuses in our life. But health may not be a hindrance to the human growth, but it is the mental attitude which is required for growth. Good health creates good opportunities but it is just a probability. Don't put up excuses to poor health for the growth of the mental attitude.

The moral character is important to see a dream and work to fulfil that dream. Sometimes poor health creates great opportunities in life. Charles Darwin confessed that his infirmities had helped him unexpectedly. There are many such examples around us. People don't stop because of infirmities rather they do unexpected things in this world, that creates new way to live an extraordinary life.

Low profession, low salary should not be a hurdle to your life. Definition of luxury is relative. What we need is the maximum comfort and minimum luxury in our life. To sail the life through the ocean of difficulties, happiness, comforts and discomforts, we need to grow with mental attitude. Maximum comfort includes good and nutritious food, good cloth, a house, liability for the family.

Luxury sometimes makes the man fool and lazy.

Best way to break the enigma of why me is to build faith on yourself. Build faith that you are here to flourish in life with good health and prosperity. Faith could heal better than the medicines. Any ailments could be healed in better way while the faith on the medicines and faith on the medical procedure build up in your mind along with taking the medicine and following the correct medical procedure. While taking appropriate and costliest medicines those are prescribed from a famous doctor if you develop a negative mentality the medicines may not work. But with a positive faith on the medicines these works wonder.

The healing power is within you; revere the process, i.e. make the faith as principal and the medicines as supplements. But don't stop medication. These two together can heal you in better way. Either of them alone may not work properly.

Whenever facing difficulties in life how big or small does not matter, don't feel pity; don't feel alone, there must be a way. That is the purpose of that difficulty that comes to you, to make you able to execute your intellect to find out the solution. The first step towards the solution is faith in you.

Always feel secure. Secure like a child in the arms of its mother. There is Mother Nature for you. You have to seek the help from the Mother Nature. You have to execute your freewill to start working in this direction rather than sitting back and chanting why me, why me, why me........

A live bamboo rooted into the soil while cut from its log at a certain height, we could find a new branch grows from a nut. A nut in the bamboo is nothing but like a hurdle for its growth. But this hurdle as the nut in bamboo is strength of it. If there would not be any nut in the bamboo, it might not have that much strength. It might not become that much popular as it is today.

So creating opportunities from the difficult situations in life is a natural process. Learn to transform the difficulties into your strength.

This transformation not only gives you good opportunities in life but also purifies your soul, develop your intellect.

Once a rat unfortunately fell into a box in which there was a snake before. The rat became furious; about to die out of fear that it is so close to its enemy. But the snake softly with ingenuity told the rat, don't fear, I am not going o kill you. You make a hole in this box so that we both could go out. The rat did the hard work and created a hole in the box. As soon as the hole was made, the snake due to its selfish nature ate the rat.

Like the snake and the rat story, the same thing happens with us in our professional as well as social life. The human beings are the most interesting creature in this universe. This may happen with anyone.

You are asked to achieve a target within a time frame, to do hard work. The time frame may be discomfortable for you, for your family and for discharging your liabilities towards your family members. Still as you also want to grow, so you started working, working hard and achieved that goal. But at the end you may be sidelined. Your higher authorities have taken the whole credit. This is a situation when you feel why this has happened with me.

This is obvious situation. This is happening everywhere. How to come out from this situation?

You have worked hard; you have gained knowledge and experience. You might have enjoyed a lot while achieved the goal and also during working. You are cheated at the end. Be brave to accept the truth that you are being cheated even after doing a lot of hard work. At the same time be honest to yourself; love yourself instead of hatred for others. Hatred for others would detoriate the person within you. It is no way beneficial neither for your future nor for your health.

Give a smile at the person who cheated you that they are not going to take any advantage further in future. They could not take away the knowledge you have gained, the experience you have acquired. They are fool, because they could have taken advantage of your hard work and dedication for many occasions but leave you at once. In reality you are the winner. Feel that winning spirit within you. Your hard work and dedication will pay you one day.

There are many such occasions, examples in this world when the people start to whisper why me? Many of us have physical infirmities, limitation of our intellect, born in poverty because we are furiously and randomly made by the Supreme Soul. The Supreme Soul might not be intelligent enough to evenly distribute wealth, health and prosperity among all the human beings.

Still there is desire of the Supreme Soul that we all the human beings should love Him, should admire His creation and should praise His great intellect. Even with all odds we should try to purify our soul, try to develop our intellect and try to recognize our purpose of existence.

Though the Supreme Soul has made us furiously and randomly, He has given us amazing gifts as our freewill and subconscious mind. We could achieve lofty goals by executing our free will and energising our subconscious mind.

The supreme Soul does not leave us alone. The consciousness of the Supreme Soul is always there with us, around us and for us. One has to seek the blessing of the higher consciousness. Those who seek they get.

Whether it is your health issue, wealth issue, professional job issue, social issue or family issue, instead of say why me learn to say why not me? Dear Lord, make me a medium to solve any of the unresolved issues. The Supreme Soul still trying to make this universe a beautiful place to live. He is trying each and every thing to make it more perfect. We fall into that trial. We are not victimised by the Supreme Soul, rather we are provided with opportunities to develop our intellect; to make our intellect more intelligent enough, to recognize the presence of the consciousness of the Supreme Soul in and around us.

It is an indispensable element for the spiritual journey that you accept first what you have. For that you express your gratitude. Whatever situations come in life, invite them in smile, pray Lord for guidance and have faith on you as well as on the Supreme Soul, definitely you are going to conquer all the difficulties. Definitely you are going to glare like a little star in new moon night.

Acceptance, action and acquisition are the steps to achieve spiritual youth.

Accept what you have, with what you got birth, the situations coming in your life. These situations are made for you. Either you win from it or lose. That is your freewill what do you want, to win or to lose? If you decide to win then start acting. Exercise your intellect to find the solution, seek the blessings from the Supreme Soul and ask for help from near and dear ones.

While achieved the goal don't forget to express the gratitude to the Supreme Soul as well to the person from whom you got help.

You are not born to cry rather born to smile. Smile at the difficulties, definitely the difficulties will disappear from your life.

I wish next time you face any difficulties in your life, you will say why not me! Thanks Lord for choosing me for this work out of so many people. I am here to work for you. Thank you very much for your blessings, for the energy that I get to conquer this situation in life.

The mental attitude could be achieved at the stage of spiritual youth.

Are you ready for it?

### Chapter-5

### Wealth

For development of intellect, development of consciousness, and purification of soul the existence of the physical world is indispensable. Without the physical world it is difficult for the individual intellect to develop, human consciousness to develop and the soul to be purified. The human being could not exchange highest feelings with others without the physical world.

This is the reason why the Supreme Soul created this universe!

Physical world is a medium to achieve the spiritual goal, to achieve the spiritual youth.

At the birth, the human being gets birth with the physical body as well as the consciousness. The aim of his life is to develop the consciousness but the physical body is the medium.

We know that if we are going to build a 10 stories building first we have to build the foundation of that building compatible for 10 stories even more. If the foundation is not strong, the building would not be strong.

So, for the development of the consciousness we have to create a beautiful physical world around us. We have to keep our physical body fit.

For the growth of the consciousness we have to feed our mind with good thoughts where as for the growth of the physical body we have to feed it with nutritious food, we have to protect it from weather conditions.

So, we need money, we need abundance in wealth. Without acquisition of wealth life could come to stand still. It is the most prior responsibility of every human being to make him capable for the creation of wealth in his life.

There are many ways to earn money. It is a fool idea to say we don't need money.

The crops are latent in the earth. The human being does the ploughing and sowing. The nature pours water, air and sunlight. The crop field than slowly grows from sprouts to ripe crops. The human being does not do anything inside the crop. This is a natural phenomenon. The nature wants to give the wealth to the human being. But the requirement is the intention of the human being to cultivate. The human being has to learn how to cultivate.

The information stored in a seed is really a subject of admiration. In twentieth century onwards we are heavily talking about the information technology. But surprisingly the information technology exists from the very beginning of this universe.

The information stored in a seed does its work perfectly. An apple seed when soiled and watered grows to an apple tree and then it produces apples. We have not seen any apple tree producing oranges.

Have you seen such things?

Have you seen any pumpkin creeper producing brinjal or tomato? The answer is no.

An apple is made from water, trace minerals in soil, air and sunlight. Only the Lord can make an apple out of these physical elements. If we give crore of rupees and ask any human being, a scientist to produce an apple out of these elements, would he be able to make it? Definitely he could not.

The information in the cell of the seed does its part. What I want to tell that the Supreme Soul created the wealth for us in various ways. Only we have to generate it. We have to learn how to generate it.

For the growth of the physical world each and every necessity is created by the Supreme Soul. Only we have to catch it.

The human beings did not create the huge deposits of iron ore in mines. But to use it the human being has to learn how to process the iron ore, how to convert the raw iron ore from mines to final product.

The wealth is stored in the lap of the mother earth in terms of crops, fruits, vegetables, metallic elements, non metallic elements and compounds. Only the human being has to make him capable to acquire it.

To posses the wealth the Supreme Soul has also created ego and the quality of passion. The ego is required for the development of the physical world. Without ego it may not be possible for a human being to wish to work for creation of the material world. The quality of passion inspire the human mind to posses the wealth.

When the ego and the quality of passion are expressed in proper way it is not bad. The ego and the quality of passion should not be applied to hurt anybody's emotion, to harm anybody's properties. When ego and quality of passion is channelized for self development and acquisition of wealth, these work wonder.

So, there are latent deposits of wealth, you are blessed with ego and quality of passion, then why to wait; create a beautiful environment around you, create a beautiful physical world around you.

You can't force any one to love you but you can create an attractive environment in and around you, so that people will compel themselves to love you. Try to love people unconditionally and see the effect. Try to fulfil the physical needs of your family, do it unconditionally and see the return. Each and every member of your family definitely loves you.

Create the ability in you for a suitable profession. Whatever may be the profession that does not matter! In every profession there is a chance to grow; there is a chance to prosper. There may be many hurdles in your professional job that you have to learn how to overcome. In every human being there is latent quality for earning money. You have to explore that quality in you. If you are blessed so much any other person could recognize that hidden quality in you. Develop an interest for that quality.

In recent times as demand grows new ways are opening up for earning money. Find any way where you could fit yourself. Do not stop. Do not hesitate to earn money. More money you earn from authenticated way could make your life more comfortable. When you are comfortable you could create a conducive environment in and around you for your family and other people. That way you are going to help the Supreme Soul.

Do not desire more; desire according to your capability. No doubt a minimum capable person could able to provide maximum comfort and minimum luxury to him and his family members. Keep in mind that luxury is a relative term. There is no boundary to luxury. Be luxurious by your moral character. That automatically gives you peace of mind.

For acquiring wealth miracle does not happen by itself. You have to work for it. See dreams for generating wealth; dreams according to your capability. Do not waste time unnecessarily for dreams which are not real to your capability. The real thing is that you work and dream for a positive result of that work. That positive result could bring you wealth; could make you wealthy.

Energies your subconscious minds for a wealthy life. Seek the blessings of Lord for making you capable for acquisition of wealth to meet your comfort and luxury life. Energising the subconscious mind for wealth works in right direction and creates positive situations for you to earn money.

Create a great purpose in your life and seek the blessings of Lord through energising your subconscious mind. When you fix a purpose and work towards fulfilment of it, definitely money will flow. Money flows to those who wish to fulfil a purpose in their life, who works to fulfil that purpose, who dreams to see that purpose fulfilled.

The purpose may be any; your child's education, your world tour, any wish for charity, dream for making a beautiful home etc. Purpose, dream and action works together with the blessings of the divinity. Without any one of these three may not work properly.

You may not get much satisfaction if you only deposit your money in your savings account. Try to flow it, try to multiply it. You could be happier when you see a smile on someone else who is benefited from your money. That smile is eternal. That smile transcends your consciousness to touch the divinity, to feel the divinity. That may be of your child or of anybody else child.

Divide your wealth into different parts and purposes. Save a fraction of it for future, spend a fraction for your needs, a fraction for your family needs and a fraction for others.

Even if you are giving an amount to anybody else as loan and that person utilizes that loan amount for his benefit, for his business, you are also helping people. You are creating an opportunities for another person to grow. You are helping him to see his family happy.

Physical world is not bad. It is required. It is required for the development of the physical world itself as well as for the development of the human consciousness. So generation of wealth could do this work. Definition of the sainthood for the modern man has been changed. Now the human beings need material extensively for their existence. Each and every material created naturally and artificially has significant contribution for the development of the universe.

Realize how you are going to contribute for the development of the universe? How you are capable to create things either by the help of your intellect or by the wealth you have acquired. Either you do or you get it done. If you do you could earn money or if you have money then you could get it done.

Wealth is strength in life. If you have wealth you could see your life from different prospective. The same situation could be visible in a different manner to a wealthy person unlike an impoverished person.

That does not mean you use your wealth and control the law of the land. What I express here is in positive sense. You could use your wealth in positive way to create new situations in your life, new opportunities for others.

When you feel strength you could climb a mountain. Likewise when you feel affluent you could try to solve the problems in your life or could create new situations. Wealth is power to visualize the divinity present around you. You could feel the presence of the consciousness of the higher self when you help a person with infirmities. The smile of that person could create divine feelings in your heart.

Do not ask why the Supreme Soul makes human beings with infirmities? That fact is only known to the Supreme Soul. We the human beings have not to understand the life but we have to live it.

Earning money according to your capability and utilizing that money for the benefits of others, either your family members or any other individual is a spiritual act. If you love the Supreme Soul, desire to generate wealth, act for it and utilize that wealth for the upliftment of other individuals. That attitude of your will guide through the spiritual journey to experience the transcendental love.

As I told it is nice to see the coincidence of the spiritual youth with the youth age of the human being. At the youth age human beings are capable of doing hard work, they could earn wealth and they could gain knowledge to understand the purpose of that wealth. This is the age when the human being has the energy, has the temperament to achieve the goal. At this age they are capable to create many opportunities for themselves as well as for others. But sometimes this age is so energetic that they forget to understand the purpose of life, the purpose of the universe.

Spirituality is nothing but to love the human beings. That does not mean to do work for all the human beings. It is not possible for any individual. But it is possible to have the feelings for all and it is possible to love few of them those are around us, those come in our way in our daily life.

To love human beings we have to create a beautiful environment, for that we need wealth. Remember that even you could not force your son or daughter to love you. You could show them the grateness through your action. Unless you teach them how to be grateful by your work, you can't expect grateness from them.

So, wealth could guide you through the spiritual journey to feel the transcendental love when used properly. Way of utilization of wealth for attaining spiritual youth required knowledge, the transcendental knowledge; simply to help the humanity.

Do not become envious for other's wealth. As you are son of the Supreme Soul, the front person is the same. You are special so also the front person. He is earning money as per his capability and his intention. You have to focus only on your capability and your intention. Have lofty dreams and work for that. If you compare your wealth with others you may feel distress rather you compare your present wealth with your past wealth and work to multiply this wealth in future.

Have a plan of action to realize your dream to fulfil your purpose. You are here in this universe to be wealthy, to be prosperous. You are here to live your life with abundance. The Supreme Soul has a great plan for you. You have to recognize that plan. You have to explore the latent talent within you.

Do not say why am I suffering from lack of money rather say why not I could acquired huge amount of money. This attitude why not me one day make you prosperous.

Do not through your life into the maya of the material world rather learn how to use the material world for your comfort, for the development of your intellect, for the development of your consciousness, for living a better life, for living a healthy life.

Make yourself desirous to fulfil great purposes in your life rather than making yourself greedy. Greediness and desirous are two different things in life. Greediness squeezes yourself to deposit money where as the desire to achieve new goals in life will open up your consciousness to find out new ways to create wealth and utilize the wealth.

Make yourself ready to enjoy an affluent life through attaining spiritual youth.

### Chapter-6

### Concern and Worry

The meaning of concern and worry seems same. But there is difference between them. Concern is a process of the mind how to carry out a job; step by step thought process. It is the process of the mind to find out solutions for a problem, the way to execute the solutions. A father may be concern about the education of his children. You may be concern about your health, your professional career.

When you are concern about your health you go for physical exercise regularly, go for walk in a grassy green field, go to gym, eat nutritious food etc. When you are concern about your health, an automatic focus is generated in your mind what to do and what not to do. You become selective.

When you are concern about your professional job you may work hard to complete assignments in time, you may try hard to get a lucrative job and you may work overtime to create new assignments. When you are concern about your professional job you may create new ways of working.

When you are concern about your child's education, you may try to create fund, you may try to find a nice school, you may watch your child whether he is doing his homework, if necessary you may also send your child to a coaching centre.

So, concern is the process of the mind to find out ways to complete a task. It is not bad. It is required for our life. It does not harm anything in our life.

Worry is frivolous thoughts giving no results. Like concern, worry does not create any new ways to find out any solution to a problem rather the same thought moves round and round at the same point. When anything goes wrong to our desire, the worry starts. The worry is about why this has happened with me? The worry is harmful for our future, for our health and comfort.

Most of the people in our society fall prey to worry. It becomes difficult to come out from the worry. The human beings should be aware of worry and how to come out from it.

Worrying about anything, any matter, any subject does not give any positive result. Rather it has a great impact on health of the human being. There are many diseases appeared in human body and mind due to prolongation of worry about the same problem.

Worry is the main cause of stomach ulcer. People could not recognize this fact. Instead of medicine if an affected person stops worrying could heal the stomach ulcer.

I have seen my friend's father. He used to go to a gastroenterologist every time when he falls prey to worry. When he falls prey to worry for any situations in his life, it is must that he would visit the doctor. The doctor advices him for ultrasound, endoscopy and accordingly prescribes medicines. Surprisingly whether the medicine works or not, when he becomes happy, he does not complain about stomach problem. Again this process repeats when he worries about any situations.

The stomach problem in most of the cases is generated by fear and worry.

Resentments when become chronic that creates hypertension (high blood pressure) in the human body.

The prolonged worry affects the nervous system. The nervous system once affected that does not forgive.

So to keep our body healthy, we should keep ourselves away from worry. If we would not be able to keep ourselves away from worry, then worry would take away our healthiness, would kill our body.

It becomes very important task for the human beings to keep themselves away from worrying.

What has happened has happened. We are not able to change the past. If the outcome of any event goes wrong way than our desire, that captures our mind with worry. We keep on thinking why this has happened with me! Instead of analyzing the facts we keep on stressing our opinion for that event. Sometimes our opinion may be wrong; we are not in a stage to accept that.

Many times people becomes unhappy not because of the outcome of the result of any event but due to own opinion about the event. That opinion creates worry in our mind. We could not change our perception about that event; because we are ignorant. Always we say that I am right.

Acceptance of the worst that has happened is first step to avoid worry. Instead of saying why this happened with me, we could say that it is fine that something worst than this has not happened. When you accept the worst, there is nothing to lose further. What you gain from that point of time may become bonus for you.

A step by step analysis of any event may guide you further to avoid worry in future events. Self analysis of any event gives knowledge and experience for future. What has happened that you will not get back but what you could gain from that event is the experience and knowledge!

The ignorant people keep themselves away from analysing the events, whereas the intelligent person does not refrain himself for analysing the event. During analysis you could ask yourself what is the problem, why this has happened, what is the best solution for it etc!

Develop a habit to analyse the event step by step rather than worrying about the end result.

If you focus only on the end result which has gone wrong way, you are going to gain nothing rather you are destroying your present time.

Try to live your life according to your present needs, work for the present requirements. You can't change what has happened; could you predict what is going to happen next? The past event is now out of your hand and the future is away even from your sight. You could keep yourself busy for the present work in introspective way. You could elevate yourself for introspection for the future.

Worrying about the past events and the future events destroys your present time and make you unable to put your best effort for the present task. Worry refrain you to give proper attention to your family members, to your health, to your present task.

When you are not able to give your best effort to the present assignments then how you could expect best result out of it?

If you wish to savour the best result of the present assignment, you have to explore your best effort for it. To give your best effort you should be free from any worry for the past and future events.

Make yourself ready to give your best effort and leave the outcome to the Supreme Soul. The outcome is not in your hand but one thing is clear those who put up their best effort with dedication and sincerity that does not go waste. Dedication and sincerity pay you the best possible result at the right time and right event.

Most of the time we are worried about the things; those we do not have. When we fail to flourish, we just keep on thinking about it, talking about the event, finding out others fault for that event. We deny accepting the faults of ours. This is the most dissatisfying act. When we deny accepting our fault, there we block the path for our development for further growth.

In other way, when we accept our fault we could analyze the situation and recognize any fault of ours, that creates a new way for us to cherish. That way we inspire us for further action.

Instead of wasting time for thinking about any failure event if any human being could be able to count the number of good thinks he has in his life that suddenly helps the human being to overcome the worry.

It is unlike to say that all the human beings are born with worst fate. It is not true.

We are blessed with many things in our life. In a stressful movement, in a frustrated movement when you try to count your blessings, definitely that gives a smile on your face.

As like an ocean is created from drops of water, we could make our life happy even from small happenings in our life.

Success in big events gives you happiness but happiness from small events in life is also important. They build our life; they guide us to look at the world from different prospective.

It is not true that you are going to fail in each and every event in your life. There is a law of average. There must be many occasions those were gone in your favour. Whenever you fail in any situation try to average out all the events in your life. Definitely you will get a good average.

This analysis will show your importance. Feel that great movement by counting your blessings, counting the events, counting the goodness you have. Definitely that helps you to feel as if you are a very important person for the society. You are special, remember it all the time.

It is our thought that makes our life. The way we think that way we live. The human beings have to lift their thoughts to positivity for any events and other people.

I belong to a farmer family. We have an agricultural land few miles away from my home. My ancestors used to cultivate there so also my father. We cultivate rice in that field. Since my childhood, I could see that every year when monsoon starts my father used to go with field labours to that field for cultivation. In last 30 years, I could count that only 5 to 6 times we could have harvested full crops. Otherwise in rest of the years either flood wipes away the crops or the drought dries the crops.

In these years when either the flood or the drought damage the crops, still we waste time, effort and money to get those straws, thinking that this could feed the cows.

So, two aspects we could get out of the above lessons. The first one is, to keep on trying; if you sit back you are not doing the wise thing. The wise man never sits and counts the loss, rather continue working. Second thing is that any effort of yours never goes waste. Try to get any facts, figures those could be utilized for further action.

The best way to avoid worry is to keep you busy with other works. Engagements in any physical work keep the human being away from worry. In the state of worry, it is better to exercise the physical body rather than mind. It is difficult for the mind to engage in two different works at the same time. Keeping the physical body busy with any work pulls the mind in the direction of the work.

Physical work may be any, as simple as walking in a park, walking in a grassy field, watering the plants in your garden, shaping the plants, cleaning your home, even trying to cook a nice dish from a text book recipe.

Make your life exciting. Excitement not only comes from winning big events but also from small events.

Learn to bend. Make yourself flexible. Adjust your mind according to situations. Those trees bend in storm never break. Those trees are stiff they break.

If you do not allow yourself to break in any situations no other person or situation can break you.

You are pure, you are here for perfection. You are not alone. You are here to flourish not to perish.

The Supreme Soul loves those human beings who are stable in moral character, who knows how to bend according to the situations. The situations are not created by you rather it is created for you; to judge your knowledge, your strength and the purity of your propensities.

Any situations those come in your life whether bad or good comes for you. Those situations come for you either for your happiness or to teach you for the future event.

Do not be disheartened while face any failure. Say yourself that nothing worst has happened.

Before playing football match in a world cup final, the players sweat a lot, get hurt in their physical body many times, even savour the taste of success and failure but prepared themselves in hardship for the big event.

The spirituality is the stable state of the mind where the human being does not deviate from its journey whether he is facing any hardship, difficulties, sorrow or happiness and success.

The spirituality inspires to wake up and work hard again to achieve next goal. It does not allow any person to sit back and count the losses.

There is not a single goal in human life. There are many goals irrespective of success in all goals. You have to work for each and every goal. You are not allowed to say that this has not happened my way so I will not do any work for the next goal. This will be foolishness. Do not make yourself a fool rather make wise. The wise man adopts spirituality.

Spirituality says keep on working for the purpose of your life, for the purpose of the universe. If you sit back than how you would be able to contribute for the fulfilment of the purpose of the universe?

Accept the truth of any event or any situations in stability of your mind. The achievement of the spiritual youth is at the stable state of the mind. The stable state of the mind may not be achieved at once. For that the human being has to learn how to keep the mind stable. The knowledge which helps the mind to be stable comes from the transcendental knowledge. Patience is the first element for achieving the stability of the mind.

Samarpan i.e. giving up all activities unto the Supreme Soul is the best way to keep our self away from worrying. Samarpan at the spiritual youth is possible. Once a human being attains spiritual youth, he could be able for giving up his activities unto the Supreme Soul.

The acceptance of the fact that every event and everything is directed by the Supreme Soul is possible at the state of spiritual youth. This acceptance does not limit our self not to choose to do any work. Then we will be like fool.

A wise man accepts that all the actions are directed by the Supreme Soul and at the same time does not stop to do any work. He just keeps on doing his part. This is the concept of spiritual youth.

At the spiritual youth the human being could execute his freewill to accept the existence and performance of the Supreme Soul and keep on working rather than worrying about the end result. If you are not satisfied with the end result of any event do not be disheartened, be happy that next time you are going to achieve a bigger goal.

### Chapter-7

### Positive Thinking

Positive thinking in human mind is from the grace of the divinity. Both positivity and negativity are complementary to each other. Negative thinking is maya, delusion, doubts. You are not going to gain anything out of either negative thoughts or negative acts. Negative thoughts in mind create negative energy in the mind. That negative energy is expressed either through work or word. Chronic negative thinking energises the subconscious mind and thus the subconscious mind utilizes this negative energy either through work or word.

Sometimes we express something spontaneously to any situation or discussion which would hurt anybody. We then say that I have not aware of what I said or what I did. One thing is clear whatever we say that we must have thought of sometimes back. When we continuously think something negative that thought comes out through action.

That action hurt the human being and you. One could realize this type of activity of his mind. Self realization is the best method to find out any fault within you.

Negative thought may give you savage satisfaction but the action according to the negative thought is harmful for you; for your future, for your life and for your soul.

There are many people around us those who think they are very clever and due to this cleverness they do something which may be beneficial for them at that moment. But remember that those who do anything wrong for others that creates a negative wish for you. The person for whom you have done any negative act when came to know that he was cheated; he might have a strong negative wish for you. That negative wish when comes from the heartfelt emotion of any human being becomes energetic enough to destroy your happiness.

Selfishness generates negative thoughts. Selfishness does not look beyond one's self, one's happiness, one's benefit. One has to look beyond own horizon. Then only a human being could overcome the selfishness.

Selfishness compels the human mind to act only for himself and that does not allow you to think what would happen to the person for whom you are going to act negatively.

The persons those who love the divinity they only get the clarity to look beyond own horizon. They could discern the consequence of any negative event.

The person those who love the divinity they could think about other human beings. Before doing any negative act there will be turmoil in their mind. There will be a fight in their mind between the quality of goodness and the quality of ignorance. Obviously the quality of goodness wins such situations for those human beings who already transcend their consciousness, who have a developed intellect.

For the savage personality the quality of ignorance always wins the fight in the mind and inspires the human being to do the negative act.

So, for positive thinking, we have to look beyond our own horizon. When we think about our self at the same time we should discern about the consequence of the event. When we could discern about the consequence of the event definitely that helps us to refrain from doing anything negative for any human being.

Positivity and negativity are complementary to each other for any event in our life. But our purpose is to search for the positivity. Chronic positive thinking in mind inspires and energises the subconscious mind in positive direction. When the subconscious mind is energised with positive thoughts that automatically acts for positivity in certain situations. The mind expresses nice talk, the mind acts nicely in any event, the mind refrains itself from hurting anybody by wrong word and also the mind refrain itself from doing anything wrong that could damage anybody's emotion or properties.

Even the angels those who incarnated to this world they also suffered from negativity. But as they have the divinity within themselves they could fight the negativity easily and vanquished the negativity in their life.

Negative acts only ruin you. Remember that for whom you are thinking to do any negative act he is strong enough to overcome this negativity.

You may be ignorant about the strength of the front person. There are many human beings those who learnt how to fight adverse situations in life. Many human beings are capable for rising from a sharp fall in life. Your negative act for those people instead of harming them may harm your emotion. When you try to hurt other human beings due to stability of their mind, discerning about situations and knowledge about life creates an opportunity for them to fight the adverse situation created by you. At the end when they win the adverse situation created by you that hurts you. Definitely you will lose the peace of your mind.

In two ways you are going to harm you. First when you think negative act in your mind that energises your subconscious mind for negative act which is not good for you. Once the subconscious mind is energised that could command your mind for negative act. That does not allow your intellect to develop. That does not allow your consciousness to develop.

Secondly when the front person vanquishes the difficulties created by you that hurts your emotion, disturbs your mind, takes away your health and happiness.

So before doing anything wrong for other human beings try to analyze what shorts of benefit you are going to get from it.

If you do not act negatively for other human being how your life is going to change?

Whether this act of negativity gives you a short term gain or long term gain?

Are you ready to bear the consequences of this negative act because the other person is strong enough to face this negative act?

Negative thinking and negative act both are opposite to spiritual journey. Many situations come in human life when he has to decide when to do a sacrifice for near and dear ones i.e. thinking beyond own self. That is the time when the human being could do an act of negativity to protect him, to gain a benefit out of it or sacrifice that for the sack of humanity.

When a human being thinks beyond his self, ready to do a sacrifice he could open up a path for positivity. Unless any human being thinks beyond his self it may become difficult to adopt positive thinking in many situations.

Are you ready for it?

Are you ready to savour the fruit of positivity?

The way of positive thinking and the positive act may become hard at first place but this could give you eternal happiness at the end. This could guide you through a journey full of hardship as well as happiness. This could set a trend in your mind to think positive in any circumstances. That trend of your mind guides you through spiritual journey. Spirituality stays within the positive thoughts and actions. Through positive thinking and action you instil the spirituality within you. Once you touch the spiritual horizon you could think only positive thoughts and you could tend to do positive acts.

Only positive thought will not work, you have to adopt positive action also according to positive thoughts. You may not be able to adopt a trend of positive thinking in first place. This requires practice. This requires perseverance and austerities.

It is easy to say to adopt positive thinking but it is not that much easy to adopt in first stage. We have to see different situations in life from the prospective of positivity. A thumb rule of positivity is to see whether your thought and action hurts any body's emotion or harms any body's properties or life.

There are many occasions come in life when the human being fails to flourish. In such situations when the human being could not gain according to his desire, he becomes distressed and frustrated. But one thing you have to remember, out of this frustration you are not going to gain anything. Do not allow any frustration to capture your mind for long time.

Try to enjoy your life with what you have. What is not achieved that is your fate! But to enjoy your life with what you have that is your act.

It is better to be concerned about your failure rather than worrying. When you worry, that will take your health and happiness. When you concern, that will guide you to achieve your goal. When you become concern about your failure definitely that will guide you to find out ways to get it. That will open up your intellect to analyze your failure. When you analyze in right way that will give you answers for achievement. Find out the answers for what goes wrong? How you could solve that problem? Why you fail?

Analysing the facts will guide you for further action. You have to set the trend for analysis in the mind. Do not stop saying that this was my fate so I failed. That is fine, but you could change the luck by action. To fail was your fate and to win in the next trial is also your fate. Your fate is with you. You are blessed to win when you see positivity in a failure.

Do not blame others for your failure. If you do this you are not going to gain. Rather you find out the ways in which you could make you stronger, more intelligent and win by your way. When you blame others you stop the way for improvement in you. Rather analyse the situations and find out the way in which you could improve yourself. Make yourself ready for the next trial. Accept the truth that you have failed and make this as your strength.

Excuses will not allow you to find the truth. Strong imposition of your opinion for that event may block you for analysing the event in unbiased manner. Do not be biased so much with your opinion. Open up yourself for analysis. Try to criticize your mistake. You are the best critics for you. Without criticism virtue of anything may not come out.

According to Galileo Galilei "all truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them".

Once you accept the truth of your failure then you must fly like in a parachute. You should be courageous enough to accept the truth, keeping your opinion aside.

Then only you could be able to think in a positive way. Once you set the trend for positive thinking, you could see your ability develops for positive perceptions for any adverse situations.

That is required for spiritual journey. Both positivity and negativity were created by your higher self, the Supreme Soul. There must be a purpose behind this creation of both positivity and negativity. Without any purpose the Supreme Soul does not create anything. Even when the Supreme Soul incarnated in human body to this universe He also suffers from negativity. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Shri Krishna told if He does not incarnate in human body and lives life of common man then how the common man would be able to learn how to live!

So, when the Godhood suffered from negativity then why should we fear for it? Why should we bother for it? We are made for that. We are made to suffer from negativity, we are made to overcome that negativity, we are made to enjoy the essence of the positive thinking. What we have to focus is that the present movement. We have to live for today. We have to think positive for tomorrow.

If anything wrong happens we could not revert it but we could put our effort for creating another opportunity which could give us way to enjoy, way to smile and way to flourish.

Opportunities are not made automatically, but you have the power to create opportunities in life through the trend of positive thinking.

If you get that trend of positive thinking in you, you could create many opportunities for you. The trend of positive mind inspires to create opportunities. Trend of positive mind get the intuition for the opportunities. The intuitive power develops within you when you set the trend of positive thinking in your mind.

Enjoy your life through positive thinking. When you set the trend for positive thinking any failure in your life would not be able to sake you. You could get the stability of your mind. Once you get the stability of your mind you are ready to get many blessings from the Supreme Soul. You are ready to feel the transcendental love. This stage of your life is the spiritual youth. This is the stage where you have enough strength and stability to lead a life of a saint. Even at this stage you need not to fight with the negativity that means any negativity could not affect you.

Make your life impervious through positive thinking.

### Chapter-8

### Instil God within You

The Supreme Soul is shapeless, size less, incorporeal, invisible then how to see Him and how to feel Him?

Even after seeing any scenery or image it is very difficult for the human mind to hold that scenery or image for a long time. Then how to see the invisible Supreme Soul? How to feel it?

Before the creation of this universe the Supreme Soul was alone. He realized the necessity of a physical world to feel the highest feelings with other soul mates. The feelings were generated in His consciousness. The whole universe was created from His consciousness. The consciousness of the higher self is omnipresent in each and every creation of this universe. The whole material world is made out of the grace of the Lord. The higher self wanted the universe thus it was created.

We see many things and happenings around us those seem simple but amazingly brilliant. Each and every thing does their part. The information stored in each and every creation is followed perfectly by the creation itself.

A fruit needs trace elements, water, air, sunlight for its growth. If we give these elements to any human being or a biologist, do you feel he could make a fruit? Definitely he could not make it.

It is the consciousness that was stored in the seeds guides for its growth from sprout to a tree. Then flowers grow from buds finally giving fruits. The cycles carry on; from seeds to fruits and again the fruits produce seeds.

The cyclic evolution is a law of the nature. When a seed gets its need like trace elements, water, air and sunlight it does its part. The cycles go on. This cycle does not break since millions of years.

In above illustration a very small example of the nature is narrated. Any literature is very short to describe the glory of the Supreme Soul. The human being is ignorant about the plan of the Supreme Soul. The nature is unpredictable but amazingly beautiful.

The whole universe is created from the consciousness of the Supreme Soul; so also the human beings. The human beings are the main purpose of the creation and all other creations are created for the human beings. All other creations of the universe are to fulfil the necessity of the human habitation and to attract the human mind towards the Supreme Soul.

Human beings are not separated from the consciousness of the Supreme Soul. Rather they are part of it. As they are the part of the consciousness of the higher self then there must be a connection in between the human beings and the Supreme Soul. What is that connection?

Can we recognize that connection?

We are connected through conscious and subconscious mind. These two minds are not physical. We can't say where these minds exactly located in human body. These are a type of current that flows within our brain and nature. The consciousness and the sub-consciousness flow from our mind to the universal mind, to the nature, to the consciousness of the Supreme Soul always.

That is the reason why the human beings are capable to capture any awareness created in the nature. The human beings learn from the nature.

As there is a current flowing always in between you and the Supreme Soul, the power of Godhood is within you. You should create the awareness that there is divine presence within you. That awareness you could generate by acquiring transcendental knowledge. The transcendental knowledge was created by the spiritual legacy established by our ancestors.

From thousands of yours this legacy is continuing. You may belong to any sect; every sect has a legacy of its own. Each legacy teaches the same thing; that is establishing faith in the higher self, the Supreme Soul.

The human being alone may be inefficient but when the divine presence is felt within, the human being becomes invincible.

Faith in the Supreme Soul guides the human being through the spiritual journey.

Sometimes the human beings adopt the quality of passion and quality of ignorance along with faith in God. These qualities are not bad but when used to establish supremacy for wrong reasons that go against the divinity.

There are many human beings keep faith in God but could not be able to understand the divinity. Their faith is only for possession of the material world and for showing importance of own self.

Faith in higher self should be extended to touch the spiritual horizon; where the human being could establish faith on the higher self and give up all his activities unto the Supreme Soul.

Don't be confused that if you give up all the activities unto the Supreme Soul you may not enjoy your life!

It is not like that. Even when you give up all the activities you could enjoy each and every aspects of life in this universe.

The Supreme Soul makes the mankind and deposits each and every necessity in the nature for the growth of the mankind. The plan of the Supreme Soul is beyond the imagination of the mankind. To explain this fact let us discuss the following example.

There are huge deposits of iron ore in the mines distributed throughout the world where as there is less deposits of gold.

Could you imagine why there are more deposits of iron ore rather than gold?

These deposits are not created in recent centuries. These were created from the beginning stages of the creation of the universe; from millions of years ago. According to modern science the universe was created from the Big Bang explosion. There was a tremendous explosion in nothing. As the result of this explosion, huge amounts of radiations were generated. These radiations evolved to generate metallic and non-metallic elements and thus created the physical world that we have today.

So, when the metallic elements were created there was a chance that the deposits of gold would be more than iron. Even the deposits of aluminium are also less than the iron.

The whole universe is created by choice not by chance.

Who had decided to deposit more iron rather than gold or any other metal?

Doesn't this fact surprise your mind?

Iron is a structural material; is very strong, available is in huge amount, easy to process rather than other metals and also chip.

Could you imagine a world without iron?

Definitely a world without iron would not be possible as it is today. The Supreme Soul is a great scientist, a great engineer, a great innovator.

Since millions of years ago when this physical world was created, the great scientist, the Supreme Soul was able to anticipate that the human beings need more structural material like iron rather than jewels like gold.

Spirituality does not compel anyone to adore the Supreme Soul. Rather it teaches the human being to execute his freewill to look at the Supreme Soul in a scientific and logical mind.

Spirituality is a science which allows the mankind to think why he should adore the Supreme Soul, why he should generate faith on the Supreme Soul!

Spirituality does not compel the mankind to generate faith on the Supreme Soul blindly.

Each and every physical element we see around the world was made for a purpose. You are also one of those purposes.

When the Supreme Soul created each and every necessity for the mankind then why the mankind would not adore the Supreme Soul?

Why the mankind would not admire the glory of the Supreme Soul?

There is a chance for the mankind to express their gratitude to the Supreme Soul for those we have.

The gratitude for the Supreme Soul could be expressed through prayer, worship and devotion. According to Bhagavad Gita any form of prayer, worship and devotion reaches to the Supreme Soul. Whether you pray God, angel, incarnated soul, does not matter but your feelings is important. Feeling of devotion is important. This is the feeling which is transmitted from the heart and the consciousness of the devotee and reaches to the consciousness of the Supreme Soul. This feeling is transmitted like a wave into the universe and reaches the Supreme Soul.

The Material offerings are fine but the emotion is important. The material offerings may not reach the Lord but the feelings definitely reach.

Prayer has a great power. There are affirmations, mantras those are believed to be powerful because they have produced fruitful results throughout the ages.

These prayers in the form of mantras, we got from the spiritual legacy. The saints those who have contributed to this legacy did lot of hard work to find the truth. They have established such prayers and mantras on the basis of scientific methodology.

The human being was able to discover the subconscious mind on the human body. I feel this is one of the great discoveries. It is difficult to say where it is exactly in the human body but it works wonder. This has a direct connection in between the human being and its higher self. This manifests the thoughts of the conscious mind. Whatever thoughts are created by the conscious mind, the subconscious mind manifests it through work and word.

Whether it is a positive or negative thought, the subconscious mind does not see its nature but just do it. Could you imagine any sincere and obedient person like subconscious mind? Whatever is it, the subconscious mind manifests it. That is why we say as you sow, so you reap.

So, be careful; if you are thinking positive you are going to get positive whereas if you think negative you are going to get negative. The negative thought of yours may give you short term gain; it is not good at all for long term gain.

This is the power within you. It is your freewill whether to use this power for negative purpose or for positive purpose!

The choice is yours. You have to be wise enough to select your thought, to select your prayer.

In physical science we know that opposite poles of magnets attract each other whereas like poles repel. Likewise opposite electric charged particles attract each other whereas like charged particles repel. But in case of thoughts it is different. In the manifestation of the thoughts the like thoughts attract each other. Here the law is like attracts like.

The positive thoughts attract positive environment and the negative thoughts attract negative environment.

Those who know this fact they can win most of their desire in their life.

There is an angel for you, who is dedicated for you, only to execute your orders. The angel is not intelligent enough to distinguish between good and bad but it only knows to obey your order.

So for any wrong happening in your life you are responsible. The journey of your life takes that direction in which you direct your thoughts.

For any success of your life you are praise worthy. You have to create the thought for success, work accordingly than the nature takes care of the result.

Don't worry for the results rather concern how to perform your job correctly. When you imbue positive thoughts to your mind and work positively according to that thought then why to worry? You did your part. As I told when you know the power of your subconscious mind you must win.

What should be your thoughts?

As there is abundance of every necessity in and around you, nobody can suggest you to live in privation. If you live your life in privation you may not be inspired enough to admire the glory of the Supreme Soul. To come out from the privation you have to imagine your life, pray for that and work to achieve it. There is presence of divinity within you to guide for a fruitful life. The success of your life depends on how you make yourself able to understand the purpose of your existence and the purpose of the universe.

The Supreme Soul wants you to enjoy the material world. Otherwise the material world would not have been created so purposefully. It is your responsibility to make you able to enjoy the material world. For this purpose you could take help of the divinity. You have to seek for the help. Those who seek the help from divinity they get.

One thing you have to discern that for your enjoyment no other human being should be in trouble.

Anybody's emotion should not be hurt intentionally for your enjoyment.

The most important act of the spirituality is to love the humanity. The humanity should be reflected through your propensities.

Could you recognize any propensity of yours that creates trouble in your life?

Could you recognize any propensity of yours that creates trouble for other human beings?

If you have not done it, try to analyze your actions for those acts you become disturbed. Analyze step by step, find out any unresolved issues if there in your life. That acts of self analysis and self realization one day take you to the horizon of the spirituality. That will guide you to experience the transcendental love.

If you have not any unresolved issue in this live, it is time for you to elevate your consciousness to experience the spiritual youth.

Feel the divinity within you. Engage your mind always for the purpose of mankind, purpose of your life and feel proud for your action. Adjust yourself in the flow of divinity. Once you could do it, any sorrow, distress may not touch your mind. Once you adjust to the flow of divinity you could get the clarity for what to do and what not to do.

As your mind is engaged in the joy of divinity simultaneously it may not feel the sorrow, feel the frustration in life. Simultaneously the human mind may not do two things. So engage yourself for the joy of divinity and achieve the desires of your life.

A piece of paper or any stray material lying just above the water level at the bank of a river could not flow in the direction of the current of the water. But once it touches the water, it keeps on flowing in the current of the water. Then an opportunity is created for that piece of paper to touch the ocean.

Likewise for the human being, effort is required to adjust them into the flow of divinity. Once they touch the flow of divinity, automatically they create the opportunity to touch the horizon of the spirituality. They create the opportunity to merge within the Supreme Soul.

The effort is required. The human being has to put up that effort. Unless you do it, nobody can do it for you. The flow of divinity wish to take you with it but your approval is required.

When a man wishes to fly from New Delhi to Mumbai then only the flight takes him, otherwise how could the flight force the man to fly from New Delhi to Mumbai? The flight can't force the man; the man has to choose to fly.

So, feel the presence of the divinity within you. Adjust yourself in the direction of the flow of divinity. Create opportunity for you to enjoy your life and also create opportunities for others.

A bird makes its nest on a branch of a tree. When the sun rises it flies to gather food, see the world, lives in multi-storeyed building in the city, sits over it, sings song, enjoy a lot. But when the sun sets the bird returns to its tiny nest in the tree.

Likewise we are born from the consciousness of the Supreme Soul. One day we have to merge within it. Whatever we desire in our live, whatever way we live our live but there is only one ultimate destination; that is to merge within the Supreme Soul.

So why to wait?

Sooner is better.

### Samarpan

### Preface

Samarpan, i. e. giving up all the activities unto the Supreme Soul is a book that I wish to write on the basis of strengthening the human intellect towards the reality of modern life. In this age of materialization the human being become more anxious for achieving new heights in all sphere of life. Due to the anxiety, the human mind deviates from the reality, deviates from recognizing the purpose of life, the purpose of the universe, the purpose of the Supreme Soul for making the mankind. The human mind deviates from knowing the human character.

I have tried to explain few aspects of human life on the basis of which one could realize the purpose of his existence. When the human being is able to know the purpose of his existence, definitely he would succeed in his life. We are here to succeed. The Supreme Soul makes the mankind to savour the beauty of the universe.

This book would be helpful for all professionals and relevant to everyone irrespective of age, sex, religion and nationality.

When we watch a movie few scenes are more attractive than others, still we watch the whole movie. Likewise I wish all the readers those who pick up this book should read it completely and if necessary read it many times. I hope this book will be a good friend and guide during the time of distress. Whenever you feel low then start reading this book. I am sure you will get the required inspiration and energy to rise from the difficult situations in your life and taste the success.

Keep one thing in mind that you are here in this universe to succeed.

### We are made by choice not by chance

### Preface

We are living in a mysterious universe. The whole universe is mysterious, startling; still beautiful. Philosophy and science both are used to unravel many mysteries in the universe. One question always strike to the mind of philosophers and scientists whether the universe is made by chance or it is a choice of the Supreme Soul! Why does the incorpeal Supreme Soul make this universe and how is it made?

Science is working to discover many natural laws and also become successful to unravel many mysteries. Physics was existed before physicist got birth, chemistry was existed before chemists got birth and also biology was existed before biologists got birth; because the great scientist was there before the creation of this universe.

The whole universe is made in scientific and logical manner. The things we see around us are not made by chance rather it is made for a purpose. It is a choice to make the things to fulfil a purpose. The modern scientific research works to find out that purpose and become successful in many cases. When the science is successful to unravel any mystery the universe seems more mysterious.

In this book I tried to put up my own opinion to proof the act of the Supreme Soul for creation of this magnificent universe. The readers are requested not to use this book for scientific reference. The scientific facts are used for the general purpose to give a flavour for their understanding.

There are many such examples present around us those are startling for the human mind. I have discussed few examples from the nature to establish the logic for the act of the Supreme Soul.

Science needs evidence where as philosophy prove the subject through logical thoughts. Science fills the stomach, keeps the physical body fit and provides comfort and luxury to human life whereas the philosophy helps the human consciousness to develop. For the human beings it is equally important to develop their consciousness as like to live a luxurious life.
