NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES AND THEIR PURPOSE
Research in NDE does suggest spiritually, that these experiences are innately transformative by nature, enhancing not only the experiencer, but also others who may be touched in some way. Such encounters reveal an existence of the self in the afterlife and that the current life is but a part of a wondrous journey to yet…

WHY CURSE ONESELF?
“No man can rise to fame and fortune without carrying others along with him. It simply cannot be done.” Napoleon Hill This very simple law originates from the fundamental nature of the Universe. The oneness, the unity and the connectedness. Since all of us are so indelibly joined by that single source from which each…

CHARITY A GATEWAY TO HEAVEN?
A single dollar given as charity with love and empathy is far more powerful than a kingdom given for selfish ends. I must emphasise here that the act of giving, howsoever powerful it may be, is ultimately only a reflection of the inside world of the giver. It is not in the giving that I…

SELF EMPATHY
Try dedicating a day to self-awareness, noticing what you say, your tone, without activating your inner critic. See if you can sense the emotions your words create. How do you feel after speaking? How do other people react? That night, ask yourself some questions, without judging yourself. With empathy. What suppressed anger or grief or…

OF FORGIVENESS AND GOD
We are moulded by our thoughts, becoming exactly what we think. When the mind of faith becomes pure, happiness attaches to us like a shadow that never departs. Thankfully, a wondrous part of the divine law is that the super consciousness does not hold any prejudice or grudges. Compassion is intrinsic to the super consciousness.…

OVER-MEDITATION AND SPIRITUAL CRISIS
“The path to self realisation is thinner than the breadth of a hair and sharper than a razor’s edge.” One can attain this supreme knowledge through discipline, trials and tribulations. Through the practice of deep stillness, of learning to empty the vessel as they say. The Sunn Samadhi of the deepest surrender. But beware, greater…
