When you are tempted to give up waiting on
Shiva's timing, remember why you have held on for so long. His plans are always
best. Keep holding on. Everything that Shiva allows to come your way is always
with a purpose. He uses even the greatest error and deepest pain to mold us
into a better person. A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man
perfected without trials. Just like gemstones are polished by grinding and
cutting, similarly, we are perfected through the learning process, obstacles, difficulties, and trials. Our life
becomes better, Not bitter, with hard experiences. Every Experience is a
teacher. Learn from it. During hard times you may not know where you are
heading. Have patience. When you feel like giving up, Always look back at how
far you have come rather than how far you have to go. If you have made it till
here, you sure will make it in the future as well. Have faith. Face your past
without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future
without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Always trust HIM, no matter how
low you are brought, how bad things may get. Shiva is with you. Difficult times
are brought to us for our good. Look at the difficult times in your past and
notice that good has come from every one of them. So Trust that you will be
okay no matter what happens. Shiva hears your prayers and He WILL help you
through it. When you can't put your prayers into words, HE hears your heart!!
Love light & Peace π·πππΏπππΏπ²ππΊπΏππππ±π³⌛️ππππ»✨

shiv tatva
Sage Vyasa, the author of
mahabharata, mentions that Lord Shiva is smaller than the sub-atomic particle
like Proton, Neutron and Electron. At the same time, he also mentions Lord Shiva is greater than anything
greatest. He is the cause of vitality in all living things. Everything, whether
living or non-living, originates from Shiva. He has engulfed the whole world.
He is Timeless. He has no birth, no death. He is invisible, unmanifest. He is
the Soul of the Soul. He has no emotion,
sentiment or passion at all. There is a mysterious or indescribable power in
Shiva to induce concentration of the mind and helps focus one’s attention.
Lord Shiva is beautifully
explained in a verse by Adi Shankaracharya also.
Adyantahinam - One
without a beginning or end. Sarvada - He is the Bholenath (innocent ruler of
all) who is present everywhere all the time. We think Shiva is somewhere else
sitting with a snake around his neck. Shiva is one in whom everything has taken
birth, who encompasses everything right this moment, and in whom everything in
creation dissolves. Every form you see in this creation is all his form.
He permeates the entire
creation. He is never born and has no end. He is eternal. He is the fourth
state of consciousness, the turiya avasta, the meditative state, that is beyond
the waking, deep sleep and dream states. He is the non-dual consciousness that
is present everywhere. That’s why to do Shiva puja, you have to dissolve in
Shiva yourself. Being Shiva, you do Shiva puja.
Chidananda rupa - He is the consciousness that is pure bliss.
Tapo yoga
gamya - One who can be
known through tapa and yoga. The Shiva tattva can be experienced in the
knowledge of the Vedas. The state of Shivoham (I am Shiva), Shiva kevaloham
(there is only Shiva) is attained. Shivratri is the day to experience a wave of
joy and contentment. Without yoga, Shiva can’t be experienced. Yoga doesn’t
mean only asanas (physical postures) but that experience of Shiva tattva which
happens with meditation, pranayam: when that ‘WOW’ happens from within.! π·πΏπππ±ππ

The karma you are experiencing now is Prarabdha Karma. It is like an arrow that has been shot from the bow – no force can stop it from hitting its target. This karma has started bearing fruit. You have to experience this or “taste” the fruits of your past actions. If the karma is positive, it is called good karma and the fruit will be sweet and tasty. If the karma is negative, it is called bad karma and the fruit will be bitter or even toxic. With the exception of Divine Grace altering our paths, we cannot avoid the experience of our own karma. However, there are ways in which we can handle it better.
1- Accept responsibility.
The first step towards healing yourself from bad karma is to take full and absolute responsibility for where you are in life. Yes, life may seem unfair at times, it may appear that forces beyond your control are dictating your life and that you are helpless in face of everything around you. Yet, despite this, you and only you are responsible for your life and your karma; not anyone or anything outside of you is responsible for it. Even if you do not understand the ways of the Universe, place your trust that it is doing the right thing. Acceptance alone sets into motion the healing process and puts you in a better position to deal with your karma. As you progress on the spiritual path towards Self-realization, you will recognize your ability to influence your own life events.
2- Know that you do not need to resign to your karma.
Everything in your life is in accordance with the law of karma. Every action of the past has already created a result in the form of karma, and it is unfolding in your life right now. But even though the consequences have already been pre-determined in accordance with the causes, it does not mean that your life is pre-determined. Self-effort in dealing with karma plays a critical role in shaping your life. You can deal with the karmic cards you are dealt with more gracefully and even turn your apparent bad karma to your advantage.
3- Stop accumulating new (negative) karma.
If you find yourself in a deep hole which you want to get out of, you need to stop digging the hole deeper. As long as you are existing in the day-to-day realities of modern life, you cannot avoid performing actions. And your actions will have karmic consequences. Then, how is it possible for you to not accrue any further karma, good or bad? The only way you can do it is by detaching yourself from the desire for the action, from the action, and from the outcome or results of the action. Offer the deed that you do to the Supreme Lord, to the Universe, to your higher Self. Do what you need to, but don’t identify yourself as the doer, and with the doership. By consistently detaching yourself from your actions and their outcomes, you are setting yourself free from any further karma.
4- Strike at the root cause of bad karma.
If you can take full responsibility for your karma, you will also realize that you are the creator of your own karma. The bad karma you may be experiencing has its roots deep inside of you, in your past conduct. These are the obstacles or enemies residing within you, that are creating negative karmas. If you can acknowledge this, you are already on your way to deal with negative karma. By willful intentions and actions, you can destroy your inner enemies.
5- Eliminate situations and relationships that sustain negative cycles.
As you go about your life, you may find yourself in situations or relationships that are negative and cyclical. These cycles must be broken or they will continue to contribute to your life negatively. You may have hesitated to walk away from such situations or relationships because either you did not recognize them as such or you feel obligated to not walk away. Unemotionally and peacefully evaluate what is working for you and what is not, and after attempting to resolve the situation, you may need to walk away from what is not serving you. You need not have a conflict in your heart about this. Only when you are able to serve your Self can you help others, so take care of your Self.
6- Seek forgiveness and forgive others.
Do you carry ill-will or anger towards anyone? Is that anger because you feel the other person has wronged you? As long as you harbor negative feelings towards anyone or anything, you continue to attract negative karma and energies in an endless loop. To break this cycle you must let go of your own anger and hatred, you will find yourself more at peace within yourself.
Sometimes, you may find that you hold anger towards yourself. It is even more important to be kind towards yourself, and forgive yourself, and treat yourself with love.
It is also possible that you may have wronged others knowingly or unknowingly in this lifetime or past ones. In your heart, seek forgiveness from those people and their souls. Sincerely and heartfully ask for forgiveness. By seeking forgiveness and forgiving, you are cutting off the karmic shackles and freeing yourself from the bonds that tie you to the cycle of life and rebirth.
Maintain a positive attitude towards everything and everyone in your life. Do good and be good to yourself and others.

Surrender
to God ; Dear Shiva, whatever conditions confront me, I know that they
represent the next step in my unfoldment. I will welcome all tests because I
know that within me is the intelligence to understand and the power to
overcome. ππ»πΏππ» Namaste
Beautiful Souls. . πππ Failures can be a learning
mechanism, and it can also be a success. We are going to fail, we are going to
lose, and we are going to make mistakes. It's not a bad thing, we all do that. But the bad thing is not recognising our mistakes and failures,
because if you don't recognise you can't learn from them. Admit it, deal with
it, learn from it and ultimately succeed from it. It’s your choice. To be
positive and free or to be imprisoned by your own negativity. To live in the
past or to be hopeful about the present. Don't let the self doubt overcome you.
It chips away at your ego and causes you to doubt your abilities, and your self
worth. Don't let this negativity overtake you and ask "Am I good enough?
Am I worthy?”
This self-doubt never
helps, and is really just an additional setback compounded on top of the
setback your already facing.
It's unfortunate that sometimes
things don’t work out, what’s even worse is being stuck in a victim mentality
that prevents us from moving forward. Allow yourself to feel the pain, so you
can grow beyond it. There's no reason to be ashamed for not expressing the
pain. It's sign of human strength. And it's absolutely ok, everyone goes
through this kind of phase. Accept the reality and detach from fantasies. To
fight against the past will merely waste your time and energy. To wish that
things were different gets you nowhere. Remind yourself that it's temporary.
After every sunset there's a sunrise. Just as it appears that the sun is going
down on you, realise that this a momentary perspective. Things are not over, they are just bleak. These
are the opportunities to evolve your perspective and spirit. There's no dead
ends in this universe. It is a universe of eternal growth, expansion and
unlimitedness. The situation you experience provided you contrast. You will
blossom again. That ability never goes away. Your sense of godliness and power
always exists. You didn't come into this life to give up that power, its
inherent and part of you. You have all the ability within you. It's about your
allowing of it. You don't have to create it, it already exist. Allow the
shining of your light that you were born to shine.!! Love, light and Peace
Love you zindagi!!:)
thanks to all situations,competetors who amased me,made me strong...(unaffected).
There are some who gets awakened when they see you moving ahead.It simply means they don't have life of their
own and their inner motivation is less.Its great to see them moving ahead,but their seeing you as a competetor
is not that good cos now the energy exchange is not of friends- caring and sharing.They hide themseleves.Hope
to get those beautiful relations back."Me still being as friendly as before" is my victory.My dear friends,in life
there is no competetion,no race...we are here to win friends,win hearts and not win egoes.Seeing this harsh reality
of human life sometimes amases me but now have become strong enough to accept it.
thanks to all who helped me when in dispair and left me when on top.(should have continued being the same
as your human value of loving all humanity)
thanks to all who made me understand the value of my work...value of my position,my qualities,my efforts
and my overall worth as a great human being.You are able to know yourself when there are storms in life.you are able to
know subtle attitudes you carry towards life and other fellow beings.Also you are able to know your complete
inherent personality and your highest principles which otherwise won't have come up.You need real life situations
to know your real self.you become smarter enough to cope up and deal with situations where there is
quality work,principles uncompromised,relations unaffected.You have to work sharply on your thoughts,speech and actions.
life is a learning experience,there is no loss.the one who maintains courage knows how to live life.
calculating loss and gain wastes precious time of human life.

Breath,Relax,Go easy
Breath,Relax,Go easy
We all have busy life, have things
to do and places to go. But life gets crazy and we don't have time to alleviate
stress. We don't have time for meditation and weekend vacations. A few mindset
shifts and a couple actions that take only a few minutes can solve the most
severe stress related problems. Yes, Slow down. Breathe. Review your
commitments and goals. Be in the moment and let go all that you can't control.
Unnecessary Fears cause you to be stressed, not external factors. Those external factors are just a part of life, but
they become stressful when you have fear in your mind about several things. Your
fears are based on some notions in your head about how things are supposed to
be. These fantasies are a way to feel in control of a world that you don’t
actually control, but they’re hurting you by causing fear and stress. Let go of
control. Feel good with chaos and uncertainty, and trust that things will work
out. Trust Shiva! Trust Shakti! Accept everything as it is and smile. Try
accepting people for who they are and recognise that, like you, they’re imperfect
and seeking happiness and struggling with finding it. Change your thoughts,
Behind every stressful feeling is an untrue thought. Clear your mind of all
such thoughts and you change your world. Go ahead and do this right now to
experience a whole new different world! Love, light & Peace
This is what I need
At a certain moment in Our life, the idea came to us of what we call 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the heck happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge.
If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You'll see that this is really true.
Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not.
