No foot prints !

Silently start witnessing,without making a direct attack on the mind
You have to be very careful to reach to the center. 
Mind will try in every way to take you away for a worldwide tour . And it allures, persuades you, gives you great promises: "Where are you going? What is there inside? 
The boyfriend is waiting outside the gate and you are going inside . 
The party is arranged in the Blue diamond------- and who has ever heard of a party inside?"
The mind will create many kinds of things, but you have to very lovingly and carefully put it aside. Remember my words, lovingly and carefully. Don't hurt the mind, because the mind will be of much use after enlightenment .

Are you married ?

One of my friends applied for a job, and went to give an interview.
The first question was – which was not concerned with the job at all – ”Are you married?”
Being with me for years, he said, ”What kind of nonsense question are you asking?
What has my marriage to do with the work?
These are my certificates, my qualifications, and you are asking ‘Are You married?”’
And the man who was interviewing him said, ”Cool down.
We don’t accept unmarried people because they are not obedient.
The married man knows how to obey, he is a slave. We want slaves here, we don’t want masters and rebellions.
We want to run our business, our industries, our whole empire for earning money – we want people here who are always obedient.
Husbands have proved the best people because they are trained, tamed, they are not wild.
Their wives have done a great service to all the vested interests.”
He told me, ”I had this encounter... I am puzzled.”I said, ”This society is not for the rebellious spirit. This society exists to exploit.
From the very childhood, obedience is taught. Throughout the educational career, obedience is taught.
Obedience Is another way of saying that you are not allowed to think and decide; you have just to follow the orders.

When Things Go Wrong: 5 Tips for Navigating Your “Why Me” Moments !

1. Don’t get caught up in your story.

When bad things happen, it’s very easy to get caught up in the drama. We can get a lot of things from repeating our story to others such as sympathy, support, and encouragement. But wallowing in that story keeps you living in the past and not focused on being present to what’s in front of you right now.
Initially, I would go into all of the gory details of the “break up” when people asked me why I wasn’t in the business anymore, but pretty soon I grew tired of living in and repeating that story. Although people still asked me what happened, my response was just that I had irreconcilable differences with my partners. No bells, no whistles…simply, I’ve moved on. This kept me out of my story.

2. Don’t consume yourself in placing blame.

It’s easy to focus on placing blame on yourself and/or others when difficulties arise. What could I have done differently? Why did they do this to me? Why didn’t I try harder?
Focusing on all these “what ifs” won’t change the situation or ease your pain and sorrow. Focus your energy on what you can do right here, right now to move forward.

3. Accept where you are. 

As hard as it may be, you have to accept what happened. You can try not to, but it will only bring you more pain. Accepting your present circumstance is the first step to moving forward. 
We have a natural tendency to judge and analyze the things that occur in our lives and label them as right or wrong, good or bad. Once we decide something is wrong or bad, we often spend a lot of time and energy complaining about it, feeling sorry for ourselves, pondering on how it could have gone differently, and/or trying to ‘fix’ it.
Shifting from that place of judgment and ‘fixing’ to a state of acceptance frees up that energy to explore new possibilities available from our current reality.
That doesn’t mean you have to like your current situation, but you do need to accept that you are where you are. It will clear your mind to take action to move to a better place.

4. Find the lesson.

This can be really hard because most potholes appear to be nothing but trouble when you hit them. But over time, you’ll likely realize that the pothole was actually there to teach or show you something.
Perhaps a job loss is setting you up to pursue something you’ll enjoy more. Maybe ending your relationship with your significant other frees you to meet the true love of your life. It may not be apparent immediately, but there is a lesson to be learned and an opportunity to grow.
For me, the end of my partnership freed me to advise other small business owners. During my time in the partnership, I learned how to run a small business and picked up several skills directly from my partners. I’m grateful because all of this prepared me to do what I do now which is extremely gratifying.

5. Focus on your vision.

Instead of holding a pity party, take the time to think about what you really want. Developing a vision of what you do want in your life (instead of focusing on your current situation and what you don’t want) is very powerful.
If you pile all of your energy into thinking about what happened and how it could have gone differently, you’ll stay stuck. Create a new vision for yourself so you can move forward. Focus on the positive things you want to see in your life and set the intention to pursue them.
This may require some rework of your previous plans, but that’s okay. Change can be good and may lead to things better than you could have imagined.
Life can definitely blindside you at times. Those unexpected circumstances or events can make or break you depending on how you recover. You may not have had control over what happened, but you do have a choice in how you respond.
Accept your current reality, but don’t let it define you. Keep your eyes open for the lessons to be learned and create a clear vision of what you want moving forward. Set your intention on your vision and allow it to unfold.

When you are angry, you are punished in your anger !

I also say to you: There is no heaven and no hell; there is no punishment and no reward in the afterlife.
There is nobody to punish you or reward you.
Each act has its own punishment and reward intrinsic to it.
When you are angry, you are punished in your anger, in your being angry. There is no punishment other than that.
When you are loving, in that very loving act, love is its own reward.
There is nobody keeping accounts, there is nobody writing down what you are doing here – good and bad, and finally at the last judgement day you will be rewarded or punished.
That is stupid.
Each moment, each act brings its own reward or punishment.
The priest is not needed.
Even God Is not needed to punish you or reward you.
Existence is autonomous.
Just help somebody and you feel such a joy arising in you.
Hurt somebody and you are hurt.
It is a natural process.
It should not be exploited by the priests.

CHAPTER 5. ... AND WE ARE IN LOVE

Love Yourself !

"Be more loving to yourself . 
The first thing to remember is to be more loving to yourself . 
The moralists have poisoned the whole world . 
They said , " Don't love yourself . This is selfishness." 
They said , " Love others , don't love yourself . The love of the self is sin. "
And I say to you that this is absolute nonsense - and not only nonsense ; 

it is dangerous nonsense .
Unless you love yourself you cannot love anybody , it is impossible ; 

because a man who is not in love with himself cannot be in love with anybody . 
If you are in love with yourself , only then can your overflowing love reach somebody."
