“Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that is happiness.”
​
–Bertrand Russell

​This quote probably applies most to folks who are caught in a “karmic whirlpool”- where, at an apparent level things may seem to be good, pleasurable and ‘happy’; but in reality they are too blinded by the karmic fog and too deluded by Maya to see that their so called “happiness” is actual a fool’s paradise. They do not see the karmic-whirlpool they are stuck in.

Typically, astrology provides a good understanding of past life accumulated karmas. It also provides detailed indication of which “change opportunities/possibilities” could arise in a person’s life time. 

​The play of these two along with Divine grace determine the various life experiences an individual will encounter in their life-time.  More a person chooses to live consciously- more he will understand his karmic lessons and clear past baggage.  In this manner, he will clear his past karmas and his life course will proportionately deviate from his astrological natal chart.

What I have noticed is that at times, there are certain individuals who are very low in their consciousness but still seem to be “above karma”, i.e. astrological events do not seem to impact them. This is very counter-intuitive! When one is more mired in the Maya and delusion of this world, you would expect them to be under more karmic influence and as such be strongly impacted by astrological events such as Saturn transits, eclipses, etc.

So what’s going on here? Something is amiss! How come these folks seems to be “happy” even though they are living unconsciously? They also seem to be deviating from their natal chart and no astrological event seem to adversely affecting them. How is that possible?

What I have noticed is that such people are in a type of “Karmic Whirlpool”. As we know, when a person is stuck in a whirlpool, they are too caught up in it to get affected by the calmness or turbulence of the bigger water body. It could be stormy seas or high/low tides- all this will be meaningless to the one caught in a whirlpool.

Something similar is at play in the above scenario! Such folks either have a very crucial imminent lesson which they need to learn and/or their lower un-conscious living has got them into a negative energy vortex. Either ways, they need to hit their rock-bottom!   Only after that will they start getting “action choices” or start experiencing their other karmas.

​So in reality, it is not that these people are above their karmas. Actually, they are “stuck” at a soul-journey juncture and until they rise from it, all astrological event impacts seem to be suspended.

Conscious living is very much essential in today’s fast moving world. Whenever one starts living consciously, one becomes more aware about one’s own self and being.  

One starts observing situations and analyses the information gathered by the senses. Taking the right decisions at the right situations with right attitude, etc is the outcome of conscious living. The thoughts which were directed towards external objects are diverted inwards. The scattered mind becomes focused mind thus improves the productivity in professional life. 
​
Once there is proper intellectual understanding about one’s own mind and being, the fear is driven out from the mind.  The doubts arising out of fear vanishes and the confidence level increases. It happens with both the personal and professional life.  One becomes more aware about the social and family responsibilities. 

The mind automatically starts managing the emotions, expectations, desires. One gets an understanding that he is not limited to this body. It is possible to understand one’s own nature and thus possible to overcome his own limitations and constraints in the character. The level of concentration increases, and one can focus on any aspect according to the situation, without any distraction. 

Conscious living is again a transformation of one’s basic nature and quality of mind. One starts experiencing that the events in the life as just natural happenings and realizes that the body and mind are only the instruments to perform the actions.  Rather than expectations driving the mind, self confidence increases through this process and the individual is driven by confidence and faith.  

Conscious Living must start by synchronizing the body and the mind by being aware on each and every action performed by the body.   This is because, whatever the thoughts arise in the mind, the intellect analyses it and executes through the sense of organs in the body.  Through increased awareness, one thinks a before performing any action thus the intellectual discrimination starts. 

Let it be any situation in the life, one who is sharp only can win the adverse situations by overcoming the difficulties.  The individual is aware about what to talk, when and where.  

Basically, one starts facing the situations wisely. One can use this awareness to increase productivity so as to manage multiple jobs and responsibilities.  The mind becomes free from fear and is equipped to grasp new ideas and concepts.  One starts accepting the situations with the understanding that with the help of the effort put forth, the success comes naturally. One starts accepting failures also by realizing the fact that it is natural and keeps trying for the next chance of success.  

A selfless attitude starts developing internally and a good relationship is established with the fellow beings. One becomes broad minded and is capable of accepting limitations of other individuals. 

Since there is no fear, worries and tensions, there is no mental stress or struggle.  This attitude keeps the diseases away and helps to manage the health in a good way.

​We all know of that phase in Holland where tulips were suddenly being traded as commodities. The price of ordinary tulips skyrocketed, and it continued till that instance when no one was willing to pay that high price and suddenly the whole thing collapsed. It is said that at one point in time, the money to buy a tulip could buy a nice family house!

Tulips are beautiful reminder that spring is upon us. But in a strange way, they also remind us of history when man has allowed himself to be deluded into the madness of making quick money or not wanting to be “left out” of the boom and has got caught in dire straits!! 

As spring is approaching, times are changing… be cautious, be aware and don’t make hasty or ill-thought-out decisions…

Tulips say- beware…
 
With spring in the air, it is time to revisit our life choices- are you merely living, going thru day to day motions or are you living consciously?

We are all connected by invisible strands or quantum strings; called "Yoga Spanda" in ancient Sanskrit. So, when you wonder how your actions can matter in this vast universe- remember that even fluttering wings of a butterfly can create a storm on the other side of our globe. 
​
We are all like pearls strung on the same strand, what happens to one can impact everyone else...

There are times in our lives when we wonder about the “meaning” (or lack thereof) in our life. As we go about our daily duties, we wonder if any of those actions can impact anyone beyond the few immediate people. Lest do we know the far-reaching extent of our thoughts and actions!!

According to Wikipedia: Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focused on the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. 'Chaos' is an interdisciplinary theory stating that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, self-organization, and reliance on programming at the initial point known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The butterfly effect describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state, e.g. a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas.

So, when we wonder how our seeming small actions can impact the greater good- remember that we are all connected. Each to everyone and everything else forming a web of matter and information- distinct and yet intertwined so that it is affected by the smallest of change.

Knowing this it is very important to carefully choose our thoughts and actions. There is so much pain and misery in our world- with rising anger and violence. Ordinary citizens like you and I may not be warriors on the frontline, but we can help to bring peace and equanimity by exhibiting it in our everyday actions. Being loving or at the very least kind to everyone we interact with, showing grace even when we may feel that the other person is totally out of line- such small actions can play a pivotal role in bringing balance to our increasingly un-balanced social and global environment.

As people aspiring to live with conscious awareness, we are always striving to improve ourselves in micro-increments, this way we can incorporate positive change in our behavior without feeling the stressful aspect of undergoing that change!
​
One area of our life that probably has the most impact on how we feel and express is communication. Because of which, miscommunication, misunderstandings, arguments, all become part of day-to-day activities, particularly with those people with whom we interact on a close basis like our colleagues, family, and friends. But there are certain times when we find that such communication challenges abound! 

During such stressful and high-pressure times, there could be lot of confusion, misunderstanding that result in arguments and finger-pointing. In such circumstances it is very easy to lose our cool and get angry at the other person or at the very least resent them for their egoistic behavior.

But the key is to not do so but observe- them and your own self!

However, and in what-so-ever manner a particular person is behaving or whatever they may be saying to you; can you see the divine essence within them and show them love and kindness all the same?

Think about it… the other person may not be on a path of aware and conscious living. If you, who are on this path and have developed some sensitivity, is feeling the anger and pressure, how much more would that other person be feeling!

In addition, they are probably seeing it as ‘all real’! Unlike you and I who have learned to distance ourselves to some degree from egoistic behaviors, this other person may not have learnt to do that and so may be experiencing everything as very grave, impactful, and part of their immediate reality!

So, learn to forgive and move on. If you need to retaliate to get your point across then surely do so. But without anger or aggression. Merely state what you need to say and do what you need to do but with love and kindness so there is no hint of your own ego in play!
​
You can do the same when past situations or people crop up in your life. These people may have hurt you or you may have felt anger and angst towards them in the past, still learn to forgive, all involved in that situation- these other people and your own self; so that you can leave the past behind and step into the present moment and walk towards a bright and beautiful future.

Right now, as we look around us- there seems to be ‘craziness’ all around us!! This past year has been challenging to every single person on this planet in their own way. I recently wrote about the way in which we can best addresses any challenges or issues that we come across in our life. If you have not read that article, then you can check it here…
​
We know that our attitude determines our altitude. So, the question is, how should we maintain ourselves as we are facing various situations in our life. Ofcourse, not every single moment of everyday is fraught with challenges. There will be good times and bad times, maybe certain days have a significant number of bad times or challenging issues, but in life, we are always going to experience a combination of these good and bad experiences. 

The ancients depicted our life as a wheel. They called it the “Wheel of Time” (Kaal Chakra) or the “Circle of Life”. Because we find that the activities in our life follow a circular repetitive pattern. At any given time, there are parts of us feeling up and at that same time, there are also parts of us feeling down. Like the individual spokes of a wheel, we experience different emotional and mental states at any given time. 

But if one is to note the center of the wheel- it is calm and stationary. Even though the wheel as a whole is moving forward on its journey, and the individual spokes move up and down, the center of the wheel stays calm. 

The ancients asked us to maintain this attitude of the “Center of the Wheel” in our life. When we live our life from our center- i.e., we take the time to reflect upon the various activities and situations of our life and focus within and center within the deeper recesses of our being (meditation helps with this), then it allows us to stay centered and focused within our core existence. 

Then we can carry on with the various activities of our life- some which will make us feel jubilant and happy and others that may upset or challenge us; but as we operate from our center, we will always feel calm and at peace. This will be the case, even if the happy or challenging situations are in our vicinity or are aspects of our life, i.e., our external situation or our life situations, neither will be able to ruffle or agitate us, because we are centered and operating from our core. 

This is the first step of Yoga. Yoga is the way to be in-sync with the Divine. By centering within our ourselves and operating from a calm, centered core- we complete the first step of Yoga- we get in unison with our own inner being. 
​
We bring all the fragmented aspect of ourselves into our center- we bring ourselves together. We become united; this then allows us to continue with our ascension journey to further become united with the Cosmic Self.

Water is a unique substance that can simultaneously exist in all the three states of existence at the same time- i.e., as a solid (ice), liquid (water) and also in the gaseous form (as water vapor). There are many anomalies associated with water- one of the key baffling ones being how it contracts as it turn solid (which is the case with most substances) BUT water does it only until it reaches the 4°C. At which point, it starts to expand, instead of contracting!! There are many other properties about water- which make it very unique in its physical and chemical properties… BUT what is most important to you and I, is that water is essential for us to survive.

Water is not just a key natural resource that will determine our life here on earth- water is the very indication that we look out for to check if life is possible at any other galactic location!!
​
Water is found to have one of the best ‘memory’ of all-natural substances. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist has shown thru various experiments how water can easily retain memory of what was done to it or said over it, for long periods of time.

Even you and I can do a simple cooked rice experiment to indicate the validity of the fact that water (which makes up over 70% of our earth and also our bodies) retains excellent memory!! Now typically we speak of using cooked rice- but honestly, you could use any cooked grains… any natural substance- like a vegetable or fruit. More the water content (like cucumbers, watermelon), that much easier- it will be for you to observe your experiment-results.

Try this out: Take three cups of cooked rice. With the first cup, convey your love and gratitude to it. Thank the rice for its existence, its presence in your life and the fact that it can fill your up and curtail your hunger and so on… with the second cup- be very nasty in your interaction. Express anger, resentment and even hatred (if you want to go to that extreme) and with the third cup- do nothing special. It will work as a baseline!!

You will find that the cooked rice cup that was the baseline and did not receive any special treatment- neither positive nor negative, goes stale within the expected timeframe! The cooked rice cup which received praise, gratitude and appreciation is still fresh even when the baseline cup shows the signs of staleness!! But what will shock most people is how easily and with what intensity the third cooked rice cup deteriorates- the one which was the recipient of anger, resentment, and negative emotions!! That one will not just go stale that much quicker; it will also turn moldy and stink more than the neutral cup!!
 
As I said, this is an experiment we can all perform in our homes. 

What is important to remember is that we do not need to know why something works- till we know for a fact that it works and then we are able to benefit by following those process steps!! As they say, a truly intelligent person learns from other’s experience.

Having said that, we may or not believe that this is true science. We may or may not believe that water ‘retains memory’- but the evidence of the experiment is very clear. We also know the fact that almost 70% of our bodies is made up of water- so if the rice cup reacts that badly to anger and resentment, then how do our bodies react to such negative emotions?? Have you felt ‘withered’ when you were heavily criticized or felt ‘almost light, joyous and expansive’ when people appreciated you??

Something to reflect on and keep in mind when we interact not just with others but also our own self​!!

How often do we actually take the time to notice our self-talk?? Do you tend to judge yourself? Do you tend to criticize yourself? Are you less forgiving of yourself when you eat that extra slice of pizza or do something for the umpteenth time, even though you have sworn to not do that behavior!!
​
It is true that we need to treat our intensions like a true Sankalp (if you are wondering what it means, then you can read more here…) … like a genuine commitment, but at the same time, we also need to ensure that our self-talk which is the most important talk that we ever have in our life- is filled with true warmth, affection, love, and kindness.
