Having fearless, carefree, determined, peaceful, unshakeable spirit (part 1)




The best kind of service involves complete dedication and generosity. While meditating, consider whether a person who is a complete renunciate would have any fear. A person who has sacrificed everything, who has nothing to call their own, and who serves everyone humbly and lovingly should not fear anything. 

Why, then, do people experience worry and fear? What are the types of fears they face today? What signs indicate that someone is suffering from fear and anxiety?

1. Fear of Death and Harm to the Body: One common fear is the fear of death. Many people fear suffering from a serious illness or experiencing pain after a negative event. They may worry about their own health and the well-being of their friends. For instance, if a doctor identifies a serious medical condition, the patient’s health may begin to deteriorate further upon hearing this news. They might start to complain and blame the universe for their situation, growing increasingly worried by their fear of death. When a close friend learns of their illness, they may react with shock, their face turning pale, eyes filled with tears, out of concern for their friend’s life. Although the doctor might not indicate that survival is impossible, the very name of the disease can frighten the patient’s family and lead to anxiety about what might happen next. 

This type of tension and worry stems from attachment, conscious overthinking of negative actions, and the subconscious mind. People often fear losing their bodies because they love them so much or because they worry about dying without having accumulated good karma. Their concerns revolve around the pain they might endure and what kind of rebirth they will experience afterward. Such tension arises from a lack of determination and positive actions.

2. Fear of People's Opinions and Condemnation: Another significant worry is the fear of others' opinions and potential condemnation. Individuals may feel anxious about what people will think of their actions. This worry also stems from a lack of willpower, knowledge, and self-determination. When a person is truly self-determined, they realise that their choices are well-considered and made for their own welfare. Consequently, they should not fear judgment from others. 

Additionally, having good communication skills, policy-making abilities, and effective behavioural tactics can foster confidence in facing societal opinions and questions. Without these skills, individuals may lack self-confidence, making it difficult to confront the world around them. By fixating on their perceived weaknesses, they fall into the trap of worry and forget their strengths.

Transcending Ego

Image
The ego associated with one's family lineage, caste, and nationality is rooted in body consciousness. From a spiritual perspective, the soul belongs to the family of God, the Supreme Soul. By this definition, all souls are brothers and sisters. The true nationality of all souls exists in Paramdham, Parlok, and Brahmalok, and their caste is incorporeal and in point form.   However, when individuals identify solely with their physical body, they may develop an ego stemming from their birth in a so-called "high-class" family, their origins from Rajasthan—known for its courageous Rajputs—or their caste identity as Thakur, among other identifiers. If one remembers their divine family as a point of light and embraces the peaceful world of Paramdham, alongside their soulful connections, they are less likely to cling to the egos tied to nationality, family, or caste. Likewise, considerations of money, status, fame, and position are all associated with the body. In the role of a l...

The power of silence - Union of relationships and values between souls

Image
Silence is a potent form of presence and listening. Silence allows partners to connect on a deeper, intuitive level. It creates a sacred space where the noise of the world and internal chatter quietens down.  The power of silence within relationships is profound, acting as a fertile ground where genuine values and deep connections can flourish. In these moments of quietude, empathy grows, allowing us to reflect deeply on our partner’s experiences and emotions. This shared silence encourages us to step into their shoes, allowing us to better understand and resonate with their feelings. As we become more attuned to their needs, we can modify our actions and habits, ensuring we create an environment where they feel cherished and understood. Silence also serves as an icebreaker; it is the language of the soul. It fosters connections where words may fail. A warm look in the eyes of a stranger or a simple, loving gesture can go a long way in making a positive first impression, often lead...
