How to be content and happy?


To lead a life filled with contentment and happiness, we should aspire to be like a swan. In Hindu mythology, a swan is revered for its ability to separate milk from water, symbolising the discernment between positive and negative qualities. If we approach life with the mindset of a swan, focusing only on the positive traits of others while letting go of their negative aspects, we cultivate a more enriching existence. 

Imagine if our ears were selective, listening only to enlightening conversations and disregarding negativity. When we function with wisdom like that of a swan—not like a crow or a heron—we nurture lasting contentment. Conversely, if we adopt undesirable traits from others or approach life with a negative attitude, much like a crow or a heron, our happiness can easily diminish. Therefore, we should see ourselves as royal yogis or majestic swans, dedicated to embracing the good in others. In doing so, we can ensure our happiness remains intact.

It is a profound realization that to live as a royal swan enhances our contentment. Nevertheless, in our journey, our happiness can sometimes wane. 

To foster a consistent state of joy, we must actively cultivate positive thoughts. Let us revel in the knowledge that we are all children of the Supreme Soul, Shiv Baba.

The teachings of the supreme soul are intended to bring joy to our souls. It’s essential to acknowledge that among the 900 million people in this world, the supreme soul, has chosen us—a remarkable gift in itself. Our fortune is indeed extraordinary, and we are on a path guided by that good fortune. Shiv Baba has entrusted us with an abundance of treasures and has committed to nurturing our growth by correcting our wrongs. 

In light of this, we should focus on being grateful for the connection we have with the Father of all creation, the ruler of the universe. What more could we possibly desire? When we attain connection with the divine, we gain everything. Therefore, let us bask in this truth and embrace the happiness that comes with it.

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...
