Bhakti Life

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

The jeeva has to be reminded of the purity, strength, Sharanagati, Bhakti, and Prem that its own true self, that is the atma itself. This great reminder is given by the SatGuru. The SatGuru isn’t one who looks for praise, acknowledgment, or glory from the outside. SatGuru is the one who can bring every true sadhak to complete self and God-realization by reminding one of the atma and revealing Paramatma. The name and fame of the outside doesn’t mean that every teacher can bestow the ultimate liberation, enlightenment, Mukti, Moksha, or realization. The SatGuru is an extremely rare incarnation who is equally close to each and every atma and embodies the greatest and most hidden grace of Bhagavan, His Prem and Sampurna Sharanagati. The deep connection between the atma and SatGuru is revealed and lived within the sadhak, the bhakta. Because this eternal relationship is beyond the reaches of the mind, heart, or intellect. A SadGuru can give complete and eternal freedom to the bhakta. What’s the use of gaining glory or worship of the world if one is not able to live up to that expectation. The SatGuru’s promise to the world, to whoever truly walks the spiritual path until the end goal, is of SatChitAnanda, of ParaBrahman, the eternal Vaikuntha. It is where the SatGuru dwells in every moment regardless of whether He is incarnated in the world or not. And it is where He can bring one if one is sincere and determined to go beyond the material world and surrender oneself fully to Sri Hari’s Lotus Feet. Never seek glory of the world. There is no use even if you gain it. Because the glory of the world is limited, it has a beginning and it will have an end. But the glory of Bhagavan is eternal, ever-growing, and always pure. The SatGuru reminds one of that eternally glorious Bhagavan and the true nature of the atma. The atma which is a spark of Bhagavan’s light itself. All teachers cannot bring one to point of realizing oneself as the atma, to knowing the true relationship of Master and servant between Paramatma and Atma, of eternal service, respect, and Prem between the two. Be wise and listen to the deep voice within the heart which recognizes the SatGuru. The SatGuru who can bring one to the complete fulfillment of life, with whom lifetimes of prayers are answered.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

To receive Diksha from the SatGuru is totally different from simply learning about the practice or technique.
This universe is a play of energy. A play of movement and stillness. The same one Source of energy that generates the entire Brahmand is the same one that exists within the body and mind, giving them life. The SatGuru enters the world and stays here to uplift all into His space, a state of being that is beyond all dimensions and time. There is a deep difference between having knowledge or information about something and actually embodying that wisdom and being immersed in its state of existence. For example, one can look up information about mantras on the internet, but that doesn't mean one embodies that Sadhana. For one to be immersed into sadhana, the SatGuru opens the portal to that energy. The energy accepts one into itself. Bhagavan accepts one close to His feet. The mercy of the SatGuru is without words. Because with His own efforts, He becomes the bridge between the two worlds, which otherwise would take countless years for the sadhak to open on their own and even then there is no guarantee that one can cross over the ego completely. The SatGuru is the father who protects and carries the child across the swamp of worldliness while allowing attacks upon His on self. He continuously keeps aside his own hurt to bring His child to the ultimate reality. But that Ultimate Reality isn’t foolish. It isn’t callous or indifferent. It cares deeply how one has reached Its doors. If one has simply made use of the immense love of the SatGuru and never been truly grateful and humble, the Ultimate Reality keeps Its doors eternally shut. But when one sees the painstaking efforts of the SatGuru towards one’s wellbeing and develops true wisdom, gratitude, and humility, then that door shows signs of opening. Endless efforts, endless gratitude, endless faith, endless love—the door of Bhagavan’s heart is opened with these. This is what one starts embodying through the SatGuru’s Diksha. Don’t go into the constant chattering of the mind; become still and experience the boundless space of consciousness which has been opened through His love.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Meditate on Sri Krishna.
Allow your mind to be permeated with His ever-new yet One eternal beautiful form. His extraordinary infinite names. His sweet voice that speaks to your soul and lifts it up with great bliss. Krishna is famously known as tribhanga, the one bent in 3 places, breaking the rigidity of the mind that perceives divinity as far from itself; removing any limitations and shackles of the three gunas prevalent in the three worlds. The Dust-Adorned Face (Godhuli Krishna), coming home after being in the forests of Vrindavan is infinitely more beautiful than any freshly polished jewel. His beautiful, mildly smiling face is completely dusted with the gray-golden earth kicked up by the hooves of thousands of returning cows. Sweat drops mingle with the sacred forest dust on His broad forehead, sparkling like fine diamonds under the rays of the setting sun. His beloved flute is on His lips playing a melody heard by each atma differently. The blue lotus petals of His eyes are slightly closed, enjoying the divine dance of Prem, Bhakti, and Sharanagati. His feet are bare with beautiful shining nails, and the earth itself becomes like butter as He gently takes each step. All of nature is uplifted by the presence of Love, chanting His name with their sweet calls. The unconditional love of the universe is Madhusudan Sri Krishna. The one who is showered by the nectar-like love flowing to Him from everywhere. Everywhere the bhaktas look, they only see their beloved Kanhaiya. Chant the Mahamantra as you meditate upon the glorious form of Sri Krishna. Om. Om. Om. Sri Vitthal Giridhari Parabrahmane Namah. Stay in this peaceful state as you contemplate upon Bhagavan’s beautiful form as He becomes the small divine child born in your heart, the Janamashtami that comes again and again. With the gentle waves of love, His cradle in your heart moves with joy. He comes to you longing for your pure love and nothing else. Sri Gurubhyo Namah Hari Om. May Sri Krishna shower His blessings on the whole world. Much love.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

The Guru does precisely how much is necessary for true positive change.
For example, if one is going to change one’s negative pattern with exactly ten points of pressure, the Guru applies exactly ten. Not nine, not eleven. He is only interested in bringing one to unconditional love as one has asked him to do. He will not do anything one has not asked. And he will not stop doing what one has asked. Until one changes one’s mind, until one’s decision changes. He will keep working the way one has asked him to do. He will always give his very best. The perfect servant leader. The perfect goldsmith, he knows how much a piece of gold needs to be cast as a beautiful bracelet. And how much another needs to be cast as necklace. It is what each one has asked him to do. One is always free to take back that request. If the change from negativity to infinite positivity is too difficult, one is always free to ask him to go slow or stop altogether. He is the perfect doctor. Like Guru Arjan Dev ji wrote, “Mera Baid Guru Govinda” - my doctor is Guru Govinda. He doesn’t do what will hurt one. But he won’t stop removing the poison that one has asked him to remove. However, if one refuses to take the medicine, he also will never force. His mercy and freedom knows no bounds. He takes the poison and the blame. But hands out only love and mercy. This is his eternal promise. The fortunate see his love and glimpse the Eternal One in his heart.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

With the SatGuru, one realizes the heart of the Sanatan Dharma.
That there is one focus, to love all unconditionally as a part of God’s eternal self - whether it is a small atom or the cosmic planets, a rock, a river, piece of dust, a tree, an animal, a human, oneself, a situation, a feeling, a thought, a direct vision of God, anything and everything - at all times. All bhaktas should learn this simple yet powerful truth of the path with the SatGuru. Unconditional love. Take a deep breath and let it sink in. As one holds onto this truth with stronger and stronger deep inner knowing, the external rituals start to make sense as well. Atma Kriya Yoga. Puja. The Deities. One develops a genuine relationship with all the seemingly external things. Because one doesn’t see them only outside anymore. They become fully internalized. One realizes the joy and deepness of God in the external rituals, without making them a thing to become dogmatic about. The inner transformation is the foundation, the path, and the destination. The external is a temporary play which also reveals God in His full glory. He hides and appears in His creation. It’s just that most lack the eyes to see Him in the exterior world. When love cleans the eyes with humility and selflessness, it makes them capable to see Bhagavan. Start feeling the joy in the external rituals. Your every action in this world, from the simplest to the most complex, can become an act of worship that finds Bhagavan everywhere.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Your sangha, the people, all beings, they are the dearest gift from God.
When you truly love, you will know. Know that opportunities to give genuine and unconditional love are so few. Where you will receive nothing from the other person or being. Where it may cost you a lot to be kind, but you do it anyway. The sangha is one such great teacher. It will become your divine mirror if you truly wish to know unconditional love and heartfelt kindness. The SatGuru gives Adesh sometimes which may seem like it is contradictory between people. But He never says to let go of your love and kindness to follow His Adesh. To follow His Adesh is of utmost importance, but if you try to do so when becoming hard of heart and mind, you have failed anyway. How you follow His Adesh can lead you to either break hearts or to become a part of His love that heals hearts. The sangha shows you that. It shows you which qualities cause pain and which comfort the soul. Which cause suffering and which cause healing. You cannot blame the sangha for being the perfect mirror. You have to learn what is the lesson for you hiding in the reflection you are seeing. No matter who one thinks oneself to be, in reality no one is greater than the other. Only the SatGuru. Only Bhagavan. He is greater. Greater than all. Everyone else is on the same level. Keep your eyes on His lotus feet always. Never doubt or be sad. Never lose hope or drop your faith in Him. He will deliver you from every pain and free you forever. But only if you hold onto the qualities that made the saints extraordinary. Those who have done wrong, trust that the SatGuru sees it. Trust in Him that He will heal the hurt and make things better than you can ever pray for. But faith only works with patience. Deep and enduring patience that allows His will to manifest in divine right time.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

If one does not understand the urgency with which to move when the SatGuru is here, then one has truly missed the point.
Surprisingly many people think, “It’s ok, I’ll just meet Him again since we have heard that the Master or Bhagavan comes again and again”. Or, “There are so many gurus in the world, i will simply meet another Master to help me on my path.” Do you genuinely believe it is so easy? So random? So indifferent? Do you believe this is the attitude with which one can secure the eternal place at Bhagavan’s lotus feet? You have to be filled with a burning with passion for your spiritual path. It should steal the sleep from your eyes and make your heart tremble to lose even one moment to grow nearer to Him. How many days do you think are left in this short mortal life? So few. And yet most people are still fast asleep. Your atma is constantly straining to wake you up. But one is ignoring its call again and again and again. Do you know what a struggle it is for the atma to depart after living a mediocre life where love and God weren’t a priority? It regrets and repents the poor decisions made by the jeevatma so strenuously. If you could glimpse this struggle during your life, you would never waste even the blink of an eye. But usually people choose not to wake up. They want to remain asleep. And they wake up only when the atma no longer has time in this world. If one feels it is so easy to meet the SatGuru again and again, then one is truly deluded. It doesn’t matter who you were in your last life or lives, it doesn’t matter at all. What matters is what one is doing now. This present moment is so important. Wake up and walk with utmost dedication and focus upon your spiritual path before your atma has to lament in misery for a life wasted doing useless things.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Without constant meditation on Bhagavan’s lotus feet, one can never hope to know what is His will, the will of the atma in entering this life.
To have any hope of making this life successful, where the atma does not repent but instead leaps with joy when death comes, one has to work very hard. Focused and constant work on the self to submit one’s ego and selfish will to the will of the atma which is aligned with the greater Will of Bhagavan. Every atma plays a small part in His eternal play of love. But whether one wants to play a good role or a foolish one. Whether one wants to act unconsciously or consciously. Whether one wants to hear Him when He speaks and follow word for word with love and dedication, or one wishes to put one’s own interpretation to what He says. These are some of the choices that make up one’s life. These are the eternal choices that your atma carries with itself. The choices made in one life are not forgotten nor do they become immaterial on the other side. They always matter. They stay forever. Just like Sri Ram showed so beautifully the eternal nature of a single word spoken years ago when He wasn’t even born. Every choice the jeevatma makes, stays with the atma. The atma bears it either as a burden or as a blessing. Depending upon whether one’s selfish will was held onto or it was repeatedly surrendered to Bhagavan. Only by knowing Bhagavan’s will for the atma, one’s life can become successful here. Meditate on His feet and keep working to transform the self. Don’t stop this work. Let it become your joy and freedom. Through your work, it will become the greatest path.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Not everything has to be manifest on the outside to be real.
Sometimes love can remain and grow within the heart without being spoken. But it can be felt. It can be experienced by the one you give that love to. They will feel your love for them within their own heart. This is the nature of the atma. It knows love. Sometimes the greatest love cannot be expressed in words. Like Radha and Krishna. When they would meet, they didn’t talk about how much they loved each other. They often made the play of fighting with each other. Playing pranks on each other. Even ignoring each other and hiding. But their love was known fully to each other. Sometimes silence is greater than outward expression. There are times when one should let the love explode within and yet let the outside go on as it has to. Leaving the outside fully in Bhagavan’s hands. No matter how your life looks externally, within your heart you can be with God fully. But this type of love which is a part of how God Himself loves everyone, you have to dedicate yourself to it completely. Then He will give you constant companionship with Him. You will know and feel His loving presence in a very real and grounded way. Often the SatGuru keeps the outside and inside in tension with each other. What is felt within isn’t seen on the outside. What is experienced outside doesn’t feel the same as the inside. But this is the churning of the mind. Where love is purified. Where one learns to be fully grounded despite any storm. Don’t let the churning make you doubt or lose your way. He is always with you.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

People like to go into fantasies because real life can get so difficult to live.
But with the SatGuru, real life becomes better than the wildest dream and greatest fantasy. With Him, one lifetime can reveal the ultimate path for the atma which is hidden behind nearly countless veils. Twenty years can show you that you never knew how life worked at all but that it is more beautiful than you ever imagined. Ten years can show you how extraordinary the strength He has placed inside you really is. One year can show you that your dreams can come true so quickly. One month can feel like eras have passed because the One you prayed for has arrived in front of your eyes. One week can show you how every day has such beautiful facets of Bhagavan and His worship. One day is enough to change the course of your life forever. One hour in His company can remove every sorrow from your mind. One minute can transform into a thousand because He has given you Darshan. And one single moment of blinking the eyes and a fraction of focus on His lotus feet being lost, feels like one was separated from the Antaryami for a millennium. Time changes completely with the SatGuru. Long years pass by so fast. Few moments stretch into eternity. That which people only hear about but do not believe. The prophesies of the scriptures. The greatness and closeness of Bhagavan. The sweetness and infinity of His love. All becomes manifest in a bhakta’s life through just trusting and loving the SatGuru. Waiting for His divine right time rather than impatience because of one’s own timeline. All is received in a moment and also a lifetime is not enough to spend in the divine relationship of love. When your waking moments become better than your most desired dreams, when they stay like that all the time. When you give thanks in every moment because He has made life so good, so filled with Bhagavan. When you don’t know how to stop serving because you see how much He has always served you. Then you will know. Then you will walk with love no matter how hard the path may look right now. Because you know, not just believe, but you know that all is the very best with Him. And you never have to worry because He is with you and loves you infinitely.

The human birth is for enlightenment.
You are equipped with all the grace to reach there. Every atma, when it takes birth as a human on planet earth, comes here with the full potential of complete enlightenment. The self recognizing the Self. The atma being awakened in its entirety. In fact, enlightenment is the easiest thing to reach for a human being. It is already there. The process of birth simply makes the memory of enlightenment hide. The memory is temporarily lost so that one can take part in God’s endless play of unconditional love. It is simple. Imagine your dearest friend, your most beloved companion. Wouldn’t you wish to spend time with them endlessly exploring and doing new things? Wouldn’t you wish to experience new adventures to enjoy, learn, and grow with them? Wouldn’t you wish to watch movies that are sometimes tragic, sometimes full of humour, sometimes filled with action or anger, sometimes filled with care and love, or sometimes very confusing? You know deep inside all along that it is just a movie which will end and has no impact on you who is watching. But you allow yourself to get immersed in the movie while it’s going on because you want to have infinite experiences with your dearest one who is next to you. This is the play of God. Atma and Paramatma in eternal company. Therefore enlightenment isn’t something far away. It isn’t something difficult. It is something you already are. But you have to release your death grip on the temporary identities and roles of this world. Surrender that mind which is currently trained to look only at the temporary movies of the world. And remind it to focus completely on who is exploring the path with you since eternity. Who is watching the infinite movies with you. Surrender to the One who has always been standing next to you. Your beloved eternal companion who is waiting for you to turn and engage with Him. God walks with everyone. But only few cherish His company. Because they are too busy engaging with the temporary drama of the outside.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

What is your effort today?
To reach somewhere, to get to the goal, to find your genuine place on the spiritual path, you have to move. You have to make your efforts. To expect that something of the outside will change or that someone will come to rescue you are useless desires. Because such desires will disempower you and keep you stuck in one place. To truly make progress, to truly find the great peace of the inside that everyone longs for, you have to become your own champion firstly. You have to learn to get up when life has knocked you down. Again and again and again you have to get up. And never give up until the end. And how you get back up. Is it through bitterness? Is it through anger? Is it through despair? Or. Is it through immense faith in your innermost strength? Is it through a deep connection of the inside which remains even when everything else is lost? How you get back up matters. It matters a lot. In fact, that is what makes all the difference in the world. Because when you’re stuck in your own negative space, you can’t even see Bhagavan’s, the SatGuru’s, help entering your life. You can’t see how much He wishes to be your champion. You won’t see that He is helping you through the various opportunities that life presents. And everyone gets opportunities. Everyone gets endless opportunities. Day after day after day Bhagavan sends help. But one doesn’t see it. One doesn’t grab it. What has been your effort today to see God’s grace in your life? What has been your effort today to make life more beautiful, more loving, more peaceful for yourself and others? What has been your effort today to move closer to the SatGuru’s unconditionally loving heart? Be sincere with your answers to these questions every day and change what needs to change to keep growing in life and love.

People keep questioning why they are receiving pain, why there is so much suffering in the world. Why doesn’t God, Guru take it away?
But do you know that the true fight is always inside? It feels like it is outside, people, situations, and so on. But it is always the One energy which is in movement everywhere. The Oneness that is manifest within and outside you. And the fight can never be fought, won, or lost on the outside. It is always inside. What did Bhagavan Sri Krishna show Arjun? That it is the inner state which has to be controlled to actually win the fight inside and outside. It is the atma itself that is fighting the lower parts of your psyche which are strangling it. The karmas one doesn’t pay any attention to, that one is happily creating mountains of, they are like thorny vines. They strangle the tiny plant which is the atma. They compete with it for food. They steal its nutrients. They look for ways that the gardener which is you, don’t look at the tiny plant of the atma. Because it is filled with so much joy, love, and devotion that you will never look at the weeds and thorny vines ever again. You will be in so much bliss with the atma which is revealing Bhagavan to you, that you will never want to look at anything else. When you try to walk with love on the spiritual path, you give strength to that tiny plant of love inside you. The atma is strengthened to fight against the vines that are trying to keep it silent, trying to subdue its presence using any means necessary. And with your small sparks of love and devotion, the atma fights off the vines strangling it, so that you can finally have peace and love. This is the true pain that everyone goes through. The outside is always only a mirror. It is never the true battlefield, no matter how much it may look like that. The fight within is the battlefield you must enter and win. And yet who is blamed for any pain? The Paramatma who is further locked up inside the atma. Like a seed in a fruit. He is blamed for one’s pain. He has been locked up and forgotten inside since the moment the atma was formed. But does anyone care about His pain? How much He longs to jump out from within and reveal His endless love to you? A love that has been strangled and suffocated, hidden away and forced to go through so much. Yet He only loves all the time, deep and enduring love that has faced so much violence from the other parts of one’s psyche. The atma causes the self pain when fighting the inner demons so that it can free itself and release the Paramatma locked up within. But is the atma to be silenced again because you can’t handle the pain of the medicine it is giving out? Does one want to continue living in misery, in shackles, in darkness and forgetfulness of everything that’s truly good and joyful? Because that’s the outcome of silencing your atma. Look at the mirror of the outside and use it to strengthen your love and devotion. Allow your atma to finally be free. Let the Antaryami come out and walk with you after all this time of being forgotten.

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]

Without constant, sincere, and loving introspection, one cannot change.
To move on the path of spirituality, introspection and positive loving change are the steps. Each step is marked by true willingness to change into a kinder and more loving person. And that can only happen if one is constantly keeping the fire of introspection alive within oneself. Not going into overthinking or thinking badly about oneself. But also not sitting idle and complacent. Introspection is striving to reach the true and complete solution to the events that are put in front of oneself. And that is moving on the spiritual path. No amount of external rituals can help you clean yourself of the old dirt in your mind, unless you allow the external to remind you of the inner cleaning that has to take place. Everything external is a reminder. It is put into place by the SatGuru, by the Antaryami, by the atma to come closer and closer to Paramatma. To make the relationship between atma and Paramatma awaken more and more. Use your mind as a God-given tool for reaching deep within your psyche. Transform old and useless ways of thinking and acting into more and more loving and kind ones. The process of true transformation on the spiritual path is by becoming a more loving and more kind person moment by moment. Otherwise, one simply thinks one is walking on the path, but actually one is standing still on the same brick of outdated thinking. This standing still can continue for infinite time. Until one realizes and wishes for true movement on the spiritual path. “How can I be more and more loving, more and more kind, in my thoughts, words, and actions.” The process of working on this will help one to keep moving forward on the spiritual path.

Timeframe of consequences of actions.
In the times of the Ram Avatar, consequences followed actions very quickly. Kaikeyi faced the result of the terrible deeds she had committed within a few weeks itself. In Krishna Avatar, it took more time, years passed before consequences showed up. The kauravas spent many years tyrannizing the world before the righteous war of Kurukshetra ended their foolish ignorance. Yet, it was in the same life itself. But in today’s times, consequences arrive much later. Maybe even several lifetimes later. But the longer the timeframe to be repentant, the longer the soul has to wait to be fully freed. The longer the wait time, the more severe the consequences of bad actions because in the meanwhile one has created so many more karmic issues. It is scary to think about this when one is intentionally not letting go of lower qualities.
But the exact reverse is true for good actions through the yugas. With each succeeding yuga, the timeframe for fruits of good actions becomes shorter. So if you are good in today’s world, it is much easier to attain the Highest, because the return from Bhagavan for small good deeds is much larger and much faster with each succeeding yuga. Hence, the SatGuru repeats many times how easy it is to attain Bhagavan in times of outside difficulties because the good path is made much simpler, much faster, and filled with greater rewards. It is your choice how to behave and which side of the equation to fall on.

Everyone is a universe within themselves.
The atma and Antaryami eternally together, are the fullness of love within themselves. There is no external force, being, or person that can come between them. There is nothing external that can make them feel complete. Only within themselves. It is this place of endless togetherness that one has to reach. Where the atma is ever fulfilled in love. Where the Antaryami can express His love fully. To receive His love is to receive everything. But it is not so easy to receive His immense love. Because one still has parts of oneself that have not come back inside to be with God. These are the distractions and attachments that are not yet fully anchored within God. One needs to give up nothing, only offer everything to Bhagavan. If there is pain, offer it to Him. If there is anger, offer it to Him. If there is despair, offer it to Him. If there is joy, offer it to Him. Everything, every time, just offer it to Him. Like a child rejoices in the mud he is playing with and offers it as a great treasure to the mother when She lifts him up with love. The same way we are all covered in mud, playing in the mud of maya. Just offer your heart to Him, keeping aside all doubts and concerns. In His enormous joy of loving you and seeing you turn to Him fully, He will pull you deep into His embrace. Love is never far from you. God is never far from you. He knows your pain. He knows your struggles. He is using them to bring you closer to Himself within your heart. To give you the eternal companionship you have always longed for. To bring you to the state of only experiencing the Antaryami, in all places, within everyone and everything, for eternity. This is why the SatGuru in His completeness is found within the heart. He is that same Antaryami who has been waiting for you to turn to Him for long, long ages of the world.

Your purpose is what you are supposed to be doing in that moment.
Purpose is the meaning you give to every moment you are here. You have to be aware of every moment. You have to keep your connection to God open at all times because that way you can flow in His plan and stay true to your purpose at all times. There is an ultimate purpose of life, attaining Bhagavan’s Lotus Feet. And that manifests within every moment. Each moment can bring you closer to God, leave you standing still, or push you away from God. It all depends on how you take that moment and use it. When your mind is filled with negativity, you will push yourself away from the awareness of God. His presence will become subtle and dormant for you. But when you make the efforts to remain positive and kind despite every obstacle, you accelerate on the path closer to God. God Himself walks closer to you. Life becomes a virtuous circle. You love Him unconditionally and He pours more of His presence in your life. But you can also make your life a vicious circle. Where you stay stuck in pettiness and God’s voice also becomes more and more obscure in your life. Because of your lack of attention towards Him who is true love.
Your purpose is found and won or lost and obscured in every moment. These moments make a long string of events that are weighed at the end of your life. The lighter and brighter the string, due to constant love and remembrance of God, the faster your atma moves towards Him. The heavier and darker the string, due to constant pettiness and selfishness, the more you remain stuck in dense energies. That’s why you need to take many births to understand that unconditional love is God and God is unconditional love. And it is only to give and experience this deep unconditional love that you have taken birth each time. Accept every moment with joy and spread that innocent love to all. Move forward after completing your work and leave the outcomes to Him. Like this create a beautiful offering of your life to God.
