SPIRITUAL NATURE CURE

  In the past few days, we have learnt about the need to imbibe divine virtues. The qualities of those who imbibe divine virtues shed light on the ways to imbibe those virtues, which Shiv Baba has given us from time to time to make us an “idol of virtues” and transform a “man into a deity”. There are many other types of divine virtues that we should imbibe in our practical lives. The more virtues a person has, the closer he is to God, the more divine he becomes, and the more happiness he experiences; this is the rule. But to imbibe all divine virtues and to renounce all wasteful ones, the main quality required in a person is “the appreciation of merit”. The special feature of appreciating merit is that it prepares the ground for gathering all divine virtues. Just as, no matter how good a seed is, if it is sown in land that has not been properly prepared, and no matter how good the irrigation may be, the seed will not bear fruit; in the same way, without imbibing the virtue of colle...

  But Shiv Baba also says that anyone who keeps something in the showcase of their shop keeps it neat, well-groomed, and attractive, so that it can be shown as a sample. In the same way, we must understand that all the knowledge-yagyas and knowledge centres which God has established for us are like showcases. God has set them up so that, by seeing us, liking our conduct, and being inspired by our example, another soul can gather the courage and make the sankalp to accept God’s knowledge. Therefore, we carry a great responsibility to make our lives living examples and keep them "on display" in the right way. If we willingly accept different types of responsibilities, renounce all demerits, and adopt divine virtues, then our life will surely become filled with excellence, stability, and constancy. This is certain. A human being should spend life as a collector of virtues; there lies his true welfare. When a rope is burnt, it turns to ashes, yet even then, the shape of the thre...

  When someone sits in front of a camera to have their picture taken, they sit carefully, dress neatly, remain still so the photo doesn’t get spoiled, and smile so that the mood in the picture looks good. In the same way, Shiv Baba says that this present time, the most auspicious Confluence Age, is when the film of our actions for future births is being recorded and our destiny is being created. If we keep this awareness, our state of mind will not become restless. By remembering this, our mind will not be disturbed; instead, it will stay stable and peaceful. Hatha yogis and Tatva yogis say that when people sit for yoga practice, they should sit straight, keep their eyes closed, and not move their bodies. But Shiv Baba says that a Rajyogi should go beyond body-consciousness, should not let the mind waver, and should not merely close the eyes. Rather, while seeing this Kaliyugi world, they should sharpen the focus of the mind. In this way, the state of mind remains steady. Shiv Baba...

  Ways to Acquire Stability Shiv Baba has shared many priceless ways to achieve this. Shiv Baba says that we should see this world as a stage and imagine that all 9 billion souls on this earth are watching the part I am playing. In this way, all our attention will remain on our karmas, and by staying attentive, our state of mind will remain good and stable. Consider a man who is sitting on a stage along with the speakers. While listening to the speech, he starts feeling sleepy and is overcome by waves of laziness. But the moment he remembers, or someone reminds him, that the entire audience is looking at him, he immediately sits up alert, thinking about what the audience will think of him. In the same way, Shiv Baba says that we will take full care of our state of mind if we consider ourselves to be on a stage and think as if the eyes of the whole world are upon us. In reality, it is exactly like this: when someone takes godly knowledge and starts giving this introduction to others...

By keeping this drama in mind, one should not, out of fear, amazement, tension, or nervousness, say, “What has happened?” But if someone else says this to us, then we should reply, “Don’t you know what has happened? The Sangam Yug has come, Shiv Baba’s divine birth has taken place, and He has delivered the knowledge via Prajapita Brahma – all this is wonderful.” After saying this, we should then divert our attention toward knowledge. If something serious or thought‑provoking has happened, then instead of using words of fear and tension, we should say, “Something wonderful has happened,” and “This has happened; this is not a problem.” After this, we should lighten the discussion or say, “Whatever has happened, let it go. Now, from this moment, let us fasten our efforts.” By adopting such strategies, the state of the mind will remain stable.     We experience a lot of happiness and stability by remembering these points, which make us fearless and carefree. So why does our state ...

Whatever spiritual knowledge we have studied so far gives us feelings of joy and determination. Yet, after some time, we find that our state of consciousness is disturbed, and our mind begins to fluctuate. Why does this happen, and what should we do?   It is Maya that shakes the stage of our mind. When we are unable to tolerate jealousy, fear, criticism, public insult, obstacles, and problems, or when we are attacked by the vices of lust and anger or by our old sanskars, our mind loses its stability. Differences in nature and opinions, clashes with others, and a lack of inner strength to overcome difficulties—all of these prevent the mind from remaining concentrated. The first target of such influences is our faith, our spiritual connection (yoga), our love for God, and our renunciation. Wherever a person is weak, Maya appears exactly in that form and attacks. Sometimes Maya surrounds a person from every side, tempting him, confusing him, and trying to make him fall and give up. ...

Only one kind of fear and one kind of tension is truly beneficial.   All other kinds of fear are troublesome and full of loss, and all other worries are like a funeral pyre. But there is one special fear and one special concern that are beneficial: the fear of being punished by Yam, and the concern to remain in Shiv Baba’s remembrance. In reality, through this elevated fear and this concern, a person is saved from committing wrong actions, performs powerful actions, and frees himself by remembering God. One who keeps just this one fear and this one concern frees himself from all other fears and worries. Step by step, he becomes free from inner disturbance and anxiety. Therefore, a person should decorate himself with the divine ornaments and weapons symbolized by the conch, chakra, mace, lotus, etc. He should see the whole world as a drama, use spiritual knowledge as his armour, and keep firm faith in himself and in God. There is benefit in faith, and victory in determination. Th...

Free from Fear and Tension by Becoming an Observer When we truly understand that “the world is a drama,” we can use this wisdom as a protective armor in practical life. Then, tension and fear lose their power to attack us, and we begin to see everything as a detached observer. We even see our own part in such a way that it feels as if it belongs to someone else, and we ourselves are simply watching as a witness. In that stage, a person is no longer troubled by thoughts like, “I don’t know what will happen” or “How will everything work out?” Instead of being filled with anxiety, he becomes full of powerful, elevated thoughts. While making his best efforts, he remains constantly watchful, detached, and free from wasteful thinking. His inner attitude becomes: “Whatever has to happen will happen. Whatever has happened many times before will happen again. I will watch it all, in the future as well, as an observer.” Many times he has played this part before. Remembering this, he becomes fr...

  We learned about the weapons of knowledge and yoga with which a person can easily overcome the storms of Maya. Yet, even with such powerful weapons, if a person has no shield or protection, a subtle fear still lingers in the mind. That armour : The knowledge of the world drama. The reason for fear and tension is that we repeatedly forget that this world is a drama, a very big movie. Whatever is meant to happen in this drama—whatever scenes were filmed since time immemorial—those very scenes are bound to appear now. This is a repeated drama. Whatever happened in the previous show, which means 5,000 years ago, is bound to happen again now. Nothing different from that is going to happen. Hence, it is said: “It is being made ready; now nothing is made.” No change can be made in this. This film has been made based on our karma. Whatever karma we performed in our previous era has already decided our future. Therefore, whatever has to happen cannot be made impossible by us. So what...

  When a man is attacked and has no weapons, he naturally feels more fear. But if he holds weapons in his hands, his fear diminishes. In the same way, whenever we feel afraid in any situation, we should understand that we are lacking some inner weapon of knowledge or yoga. Either we do not have the weapon of faith, or we have the infallible weapons of knowledge and yoga but have locked them away like treasures in a trunk—they are not in our hands, meaning they are not active in our intellect at that moment. Or we do not yet know how to use these weapons. If we truly knew and applied them, then courage, bravery, and faith would naturally be visible in us. We would understand that, in whatever form Maya is attacking right now, God has already given us the necessary knowledge. The Supreme has already taught us the strategies of this spiritual battlefield—the various ways Maya can attack and the tactics it will use. With this understanding, we realize that we have been empowered with...

  If you truly want to rise above these fears, remember that only God can guide you through them. We must hand over the rudder of our boat to Him—and then stop trying to steer it ourselves. We shouldn’t mix our limited intellect with His infinite wisdom, but instead surrender completely and fix our mind on Him alone. If you agree, then offer your stress and fear to Him. From that generous giver of blessings, receive the jewels of fearlessness and ease, and in His grace, become truly fearless. Guided Meditation Practice  (Let us start practicing meditation) Welcome to this guided meditation, focused on transforming your thoughts and nurturing positivity within. As we embark on this journey, remember that you are a being of light, capable of radiating positivity and peace. Let’s begin by finding a comfortable, quiet space where you can sit undisturbed for a few minutes.  Meditation Finding Your Center : Close your eyes gently. Take a deep breath and as you exhale, let go of...

    “I do not know what will happen now. What do I do?” This is simply letting your own mind create fear. What will happen? Whatever is destined will happen! Whatever is written will unfold. To keep worrying, “Hey Ramji, what will happen to me now?” is to fall into cowardice. Ram has already revealed that this Kaliyugi world is coming to an end and a Satyugi world will be established. If you cling to negativity, you will also be swept away. If you cultivate a pure and loving mind, you will become a partner in liberation and new life.   If Ram, or Parampita Shiv—the one who brings joy to the world—has made clear the state of the three times and has spoken openly of the future, then worrying “What will happen to me?” shows ignorance and forgetfulness. Ram’s purpose is to uplift me; if I do not strive to improve myself and instead complain, “Why hasn’t this happened? If only things were different,” then who is at fault? Ram removes obstacles and mends what is broken. Yet if ...

  The fifth kind of fear—fear of people—arises from a lack of divine virtues and soul power. In such cases, maya (weak thoughts) can attack us in this lifetime, especially when we lose our connection to the divine. When this connection is lost, difficulties such as disease, loss, disagreement, obstacles, and tiredness often follow. If we remain alert and steadfast, we will be protected; if not, our disturbed state of mind leaves us vulnerable to harm. Consider a circus act where a performer is targeted with thrown spears—if the performer moves even slightly, the risk of injury increases. Similarly, when someone acts out of vice and wrongs another, he becomes fearful and anxious, worried that the other person may retaliate. There are also those with a quarrelsome or deceitful nature, who may cause harm or misunderstanding without reason. This breeds fear in us—fear that such people or groups could hurt us. However, if a person possesses divine virtues and soul power, he believes, "...

    The third type of fear is the fear of situations. This fear often arises from some form of addiction, attachment, or desire for specific outcomes. Additionally, it can stem from a lack of intellect, willpower, or decision-making ability. When a person becomes fearful after observing a situation and abandons their resolve, they encounter difficulties. The best approach is to first maintain the right state of mind. Just as following someone else's path can bring unhappiness and following one’s own path can bring happiness, constantly adapting to changing situations like a chameleon will only create trouble.   Instead, true happiness lies in maintaining one’s original state of peace, power, and positivity, as this inner stability is essential for facing life’s circumstances.   By remaining in your true state, you also gain the strength that comes from it. If you are not in control of yourself, how can you hope to control any situation? By correcting your own state ...

  If someone believes that there is no higher power, no Parmatma, guiding us with wisdom, then surely, they must at least accept the presence of a Mahatma—an enlightened soul. If not even that, then how is it that our lives naturally improve on their own? If you lack even this basic faith, why do you try to undermine ours? Is the responsibility for our actions yours or ours? Today, people struggle to take responsibility for their own lives and actions, as seen in the prevalence of disease, sadness, and vice. So how can anyone claim responsibility for the lives of others? Those who make such claims often have not perfected their own lives, so why should anyone trust that they can improve the lives of others? When we follow the guidance that brings us purity and peace, and we witness these improvements in our own lives, why should we abandon this path in favor of what others say? Do you truly understand the complex nature of actions and their consequences? If you have not experienced...

The Fear of People and the Power of Faith The second type of fear is the fear of people . This fear arises from a deficiency in the power of belief . If a person has complete faith that we are moving under the guidance of God—who is the bestower of divine intellect, who is infallible, and whose Godly Maryadas are the highest code of conduct—then why would they care about social approval, criticism, or condemnation from others? If our only concern was to attain that One God , and now that we have found Him, what further need do we have for the acceptance of others? To begin doubting ourselves just because some people criticize and to think, “Perhaps I am a thief,” is simply a weakness of one’s own belief and determination. When one has attained the one Parmatma , what else remains to be gained, and what is left to fear? Remaining Carefree in God-Realization The fear of people and the fear of criticism can only be removed when a person remains carefree . This means that even after list...

    Fear dries the blood of a human being and gives a living person the experience of death. Tension is also like fire. So, how do we remove this type of fear and worry? All kinds of fear arise from a lack of power; when that power is completed, fear disappears and worry goes away. For example, there is the fear of leaving this body and the fear of death. For that, it is necessary to acquire the power of knowledge and become soul-conscious. A person should think on the basis of this Godly knowledge: "I have given my hands to the ever-powerful Param Pita Parmatma, and now my state is ever-rising. Now it is the beneficial Sangam Yug. Hence, whatever happens now, there is benefit for me in it. Even in this physical, obstacle-like state of the body, if I take the help and hand of Shiv Baba through the yoga of the intellect, then all responsibility for me lies with Shiv Baba. Then even if I die, He will plan something for my benefit. Because the one who follows and carries out His ...

The fifth kind of fear arises from a lack of understanding or insufficient intellect. This fear is a constant presence in a person’s life and surfaces easily. When someone lacks intellect or self-confidence, they approach every action with anxiety, unsure whether the outcome will be positive or negative. There is a persistent worry about how others will judge these actions, whether with approval or disappointment. Thus, all the types of fear discussed stem from a deficiency in one or more essential powers—whether it be the power of knowledge, determination, yoga, mind, or divine character strength. The root cause of this deficiency is an inability to let go of bodily consciousness, fixed thoughts, attachments, and misplaced compassion. This weakness in sacrificing these attachments leads to significant stress and fear.  

The fourth type of fear stems from other human beings. Sometimes, people worry that someone might attack or harm them out of enmity. This fear arises largely from a lack of divine virtues.  If a person possesses divine virtues, fewer individuals will feel troubled by him.   Even if some become his enemies, his virtues can turn them into friends, and they may even be willing to sacrifice their lives for him. Ultimately, such a person trusts that with patience, cheerfulness, politeness, service, the power of yoga,   friendliness,   and similar qualities, he can eventually change the attitude of those who initially behaved poorly towards him.    

  The next type of fear is the fear of public shame and the tension that comes with criticism. A person may worry, "What will people say about my work?" 🤔 This fear stems from a lack of spiritual strength, knowledge, eloquence, and self-belief. If someone believes that their actions are thoughtful and correct, and that they are ultimately for their own benefit, then they shouldn’t be overly concerned about others' opinions. When a person possesses the ability to articulate their thoughts, develop strategies, and engage in effective communication, they are better equipped to address any negative remarks they might receive. Consequently, a lack of confidence often arises from an inability to create solid strategies. Without this self-confidence and comprehensive knowledge, a person struggles to face others. This fear can lead to anxiety and agitation, as they feel overwhelmed by their perceived inadequacies. 😟   The third type of fear is related to specific situations and...
