It is a natural human tendency to hanker after pleasure and avoid pain, but this world is a place of mixed experiences; no one can remain in a state of constant pleasure. Indeed, pleasure and pain come in turn like summer and winter. People seek permanent joy outside, which is impossible to attain. In reality, joy can not be found in the outer world. The fountain of joy can only be found within. In the Bhagvad Gita the Lord teaches that true joy is within each one of us, not in the material world of objects. Then, in the Bhagvad Gita (18: 38), the Lord reminds us that spiritual joy is far from the worldly pleasure that is like nectar in the beginning but ultimately like poison. Realising this we must remain aware that the pleasure that comes from contact with the sense objects always leads to misery and suffering. To avoid the many pitfalls along the way, we need to live in this world intelligently.

In Shvetashvatara Upanishad (3.8), it says, vedahametam purusham mahantam: “ I am to be known. I am all these as the supreme person.” The power of God is there in the top, in the Krishna Centre, in the Christ Centre. Aditya varnam tamasah parastat : “ Perceive me as the rising Sun that dispels all darkness.” You must experience divinity only as illumination. In the Bible ( Mathew 6.22), it says, “If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Aditya varna : “the color of the rising Sun”. Tameva viditva’ atimrityumeti : “ if you know Him then you will cross the fear of death.” The power of God is in the pituitary, in the Christ Centre, nanyah pantha vidyate ayanaya: “so there is no other way than this to get God-realization.” The essence of all Holy books is to know God and to love Him. Through this, one can achieve freedom.

*Depression and its cure*

In most individuals, sadness or sorrow, depression or dejection, are the result of negative thinking patterns. We always focus on what we do not have and not on what we have. We have eyes to see this beautiful world but many people can not see it. Why cant we see good and goodness in our daily lives?

Depression is often the result of not accepting reality. In truth no object called 'depression' or 'sorrow' exists in the same way that an apple or or an orange exists; depression and sorrow are products of our imagination and expectation. Depression is a ramification of sadness. Depression is sadness in different shades, colours and forms.
To live peacefully, we have to transform our thinking from negative to positive. Then, ultimately, we require pure discriminative thinking, neither positive nor negative. When we become established in truth, we will rise above positive and negative and be saturated in love and peace.

How to pray effectively for others !

First, raise your eyebrows a little bit then close your eyes. Think of anyone you want to send healing power to.
′′ Focus on the point of the squeeze and say mentally: ' Heavenly Father, I exercise my will through Your will. My will is Your will. With Your ubiquitous will, O Father, I wish with all my heart, with all my soul, that this person should heal ".
While repeating this, think an energy stream goes through you to the point between the eyebrows of the person you try to help. Feel like you're sending a stream from your spiritual eye into the spiritual eye of the person you want to heal.
Focus deeper and you'll feel warmth in the sink. Feeling this heat is proof that your willpower is developing.
′′ Focus even deeper. Say mentally: With Your will I send a glimmer of Cosmic Energy. Father, you are there.
′′ This should be practiced from fifteen to twenty minutes. As you do this, your willpower develops; and this developed willpower will be with you continuously, no matter what, to help yourself and others when necessary."

Lord Ganesha is the presiding deity of the muladhara chakra. In the Indian spiritual tradition, Lord Ganesha is worshipped for success before any important undertaking. The form of Lord Ganesha, or for that matter any deity in the Hindu religion, is not only attractive and fascinating, but has a symbolic significance. The rational mind is often unable to comprehend the subtle spiritual truth and the practical teaching behind these images. Lord Ganesha is depicted as having a human body with an elephant's head, a strange combination. The underlying meaning for this symbolic representation is very useful, however. The elephant has big ears, a long nose or trunk, and eyes that are very small compared to the rest of the body. The long trunk of the elephant symbolises the importance of breath control, whole its huge floppy ears represent the receptive attitude necessary for the intake of valuable knowledge, and the small eyes indicate keen observation.

Let us see how these three factors relate to our own spiritual journey. The big ears emphasise the need to listen more. To achieve real success in life we need to talk a lot less and listen a lot more.

My Guru’s Guru often told a story of a fox and a cat. They were friends and lived in a forest. One day they were discussing different ways in which they could escape danger. The cat said, “I know of only one way, and that is to climb up a tree. How many ways of saving yourself, do you know ?” The fox said, “Oh, I have many techniques!” and produced a book describing them throughout numerous pages.
While they were talking, a dog came to chase them. The cat quickly climbed up a tree and was safe, while the fox has to search through pages and pages of his book to know which technique to follow. It is not difficult to guess what happened to the fox.
The moral of this story is that it is good to know a little and to practice it rather than to know a lot and never put it into action.
Practice regularly; this is the only certain way to achieve success.
