FALSE SECURITY

False Security

False Securities do not allow your faith to grow. When you have dropped your Securities, then your faith grows. When you buffer your life with securities, you keep the faith away. It is the faith that brings Perfection in you. faith is the greatest Security.

If you have all the material Securities & not have faith, you will still reel in fear. You have to let go of all possessions in the mind. False Security is keeping things where they don't belong. It is an illusion of security because of  having a job, a house, friends. Keep the house where it belongs, not in the mind. keep the Money in the bank or in the pocket, not in the mind. Keep friends and family where they belong, not in the mind.

 The Divine is your only security. Faith is realizing that you always get what you need. Faith is giving the Divine a chance to act. Your body belongs to the World. Your spirit belongs to the Divine.

SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUTH!

Five suggestions for Youth!

Q- What are the five things that the youth should do to make India unstoppable?

A-  Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji said:

 You want only five things, I have twenty five things.

1- Stay away from Drugs.
The province of Punjab has been destroyed by drugs from across the border. It is a sad thing. The youth don’t want to do anything because they are so addicted to drugs. Not just the province of Punjab but the same is in Kerala as well. I had a delegation of youth who came and met me couple of days ago. He was telling me how drugs have taken root in Kerala, in Mumbai and in Bangalore. It is unbelievable. We must chuck the intoxicants. I request the youth to stay away from all types of intoxicants. Drugs and alcohol De-addiction is a must for a progressive country.

2- The youngsters today should be proud of their roots. If they are not proud of their roots then that will show up as a weakness in their personality. So take pride in your roots, then your self esteem will go up.
If you have a good self esteem then you can do anything in the world. In India, many people suffer from a lack of self esteem.

3- Engage yourself in some form of social activity, at least for one hour a day. Give one hour to the nation.

4- Do some random acts of kindness.

5- This is the time to improve your talents. This is the time to be creative and multi-dimensional. You have to be multi-talented. Though you may pursue one line of education do not ignore to equip yourself with others skills. You may be studying for engineering, but also learn some cooking. Suppose you don’t get an engineer job at least you can cook somewhere.
When I was a youth like you, I use to think, what else can I do, thought I was anyway going to do spirituality. So I used to put my hand everywhere. Even if you are not a master it is good to be a jack of all trades. That can at least explore your ability to be a multi-faceted personality. So it is very important to improve your personality by engaging yourself in many areas.

PRAYER FOR DIVINE

Knowledge sheet of H.H.Sri  Sri Ravi Shankar ji

Ride on  the divine power

There is so much talk about success.Have you ever thought what  success is? Success is simply ignorance about one’s own capabilities. Success is ignorance about the power of Self. We Assume that we are capable of doing very little. If there are obstacles we become clear about  our objective.With a calm and serene mind, think of all possibilities. Know that failures are stepping stone for greater Success. Actually, there are no failure in life. All the seeming failures are only stepping stones for greater Success. If you feel the obstacle is too much, deep prayer can work miracles.

The feeling that” I am blessed” can help you overcome any failure. Once you realize that you are blessed, then all the Complaints disappears, all the insecurities disappear, a sense of not being loved disappear wanting love disappears. Ego is always ambitious and want to do tough JOBS like Climbing Mount Everest.

Whereas in a Simple act like watching a butterfly, watering the garden, watching the Birds or the sky can bring deep relaxation & relaxation connects you with your Source. Seemingly trivial action open a new dimension & bring immense peace & rest. Just come out of your little shell & feel free.

There is a Saying: Behind every successful man is a woman. I will modify this: Behind every Success there is the Divine Saying “I am behind you”.

Prayer is a vital tool to improve your life. It also nurtures Values like integrity & honesty. Prayer happens in two situation or in a Combination of situations. When you feel grateful or when you feel utterly helpless. If you are not grateful and  prayerful, you will be miserable. In either care your prayer will be answered.

What you can do, you do. What joy cannot do, you pray for! It is said divine dawns in you whey you pray for it, whey you cry for it, whey you Sing for it. The divine is only waiting for you to dig a little deeper into yourself. Because, it can then fill you with much more nectar! Divine wants you to create more space in you.

Cry from your Soul for help. This is for those Seekers who are weak. Those seekers who are strong-with the power of knowledge –Can Sing with that Joy of what they have achieved! The moment you Sing ingratitude, in glory of the divine, it immediately dawns in and fill you up again. One type of people is grateful for all their growth. The other type is helpless & weak. Both will be helped. 

Spirituality is not some ritual; or an act. It’s a very pleasant, uplifted state of being and being able to see that the whole world is all spirit or consciousness. Use prayer to bring integration in your personality. Whatever you do, know that the higher power has the final Say and it will always be for the best.

The higher goal in life can only be realized through after few minutes of Meditation and introspection. Any Joy you experience in life is from the depth of Yourself, when you let go all that You hold on to and  Settle down being centered in that space. That is called Meditation. Actually, meditation is not an act! It is actually the act of doing nothing! The rest in meditation is deeper than the deepest  sleep that you Can ever have because in meditation you transcend all desires.

Meditation is letting go of origin from the past & all the planning for the future . Meditation is accepting this moment living every moment totally with depth. Just this understanding , and a few days of Continuous practice of Meditation can change the quality of our life.

MEDITATION

Knowledge sheet of H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji
TUESDAY, DECEMBER-16-2014.

Meditation connects you with the Universal spirit;-

What is the use of meditation for young people?
This is the question may ask.
Do you wants to develop into an all round personality?
Then meditation is must to be healthy,compassionate,humorous,and loveable.
All these human qualities blossom through meditation.

Meditation has 3 rules:-
1. I don't want anything.How is it possible when i want better JOB, grades in school,family and prosperity? Only for next 10 minutes say "I want nothing".
Can you say that? Remove your wants like a cap and keep it on side. Just for 10 minutes.

2. I do nothing. when a scholar came to Lord Buddha, he said just relax, become hollow and empty. I do nothing for next 10 minutes. I don't concentrate on any thing, don't focus mind on any thought: good thought,bad thoughts let them come and pass. I do nothing . Neither i welcome thoughts nor  I resist thoughts .

3.I am nothing .For next few minutes, put off the label of being student, corporate, male,female,anything.See that is it. Meditation means you do not feel the time.You get connected with Universal Spirit.

When do in a GROUP, it is very good. DO it in a GROUP(SANGHA). Especially after your school prayers in the morning, just sit for some time with closed eyes and meditate.
Meditation can improve our ability. I feel happy to be with you. Become Talented and Compassionate world citizens.Learn good things from every part of the world.

YOU ARE STRONG

Knowledge sheet of H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji
MONDAY,DECEMBER-15 -2014

Know that every test is an opportunity for you to grow. Don't take it a test!
A test is not to know whether you are strong or not,but it is for you to realize that 'Yes, I am strong'.
God is not ignorant that he needs to check and see whether you have the strength or not.God already knows your capacity;nature knows your capacity. The tests are for you to realize that you are strong.

If you find that you are going through testing times,it is for you to realize that you are much bigger and overcome that. It is for your own knowledge.

MESSAGE FOR CHRISTMAS

 Message for Christmas:
24 -12- 1997  Bad Antogast  , Germany

You are the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is pointing upwards and its branches grow on all sides. It is orderly. At the time of year when no tree bears anything, it has many gifts to offer and it is green throughout the year. A Christmas tree bears the gifts and the lights not for itself. All the gifts you are carrying in your life are for others. Anyone who comes to you, you offer them some gifts.

Their were lots of gifts around Sri Sri’s couch. John asked Sri Sri, “Are you going to open the gifts?” Sri Sri winked and pointed at the people and said, “I am always opening the gifts.” (Laughter)
Your life is a gift. And you have come to unwrap the gift. In the process of unwrapping, you also save the wrappers. Your whole environment, situations, circumstances and body are the wrapping papers. When we unwrap, we destroy the wrapping paper. We are in such a hurry at times that we even destroy the gifts. With patience and endurance, open your gifts and save the wrapping papers.

WHAT IS LIBERATION?

What is Liberation ?

Liberation means you have finally found rest(and this happens when you are finally free from all your desires and cravings).

when the feeling dawns from deep within,'I am content .I do not want any thing'. and you have fulfilled all your duties and responsibilities,then you are liberated.

Liberation is freedom from desires;liberation is total contentment that you get when you fulfill all that you had to.

Liberation is soaking oneself completely in devotion to the divine.When this realization dawns on you,' I am not the body , I an the eternal spirit. this body will perish I will remain here forever', then that is liberation.
