Jai Jai Jai Shri Mataji

Since coming into Sahaja Yoga, I have always heard Shri Mataji spoke about being a Shakti.   The woman of the house ( gruhlaxmi) is the  shakti  o f the house. So in a way there should be a very deep oneness with her. When this gets disrupted then a woman leaves her wisdom and gets upset, and sometimes she can be like a bomb, will quarrel; by this a bad influence comes on the children and the society starts breaking. When society breaks then the children will break. All wrong things will come into them and they will go astray. And the discipline of the home gets spoiled. In the house where there is no discipline the children get ruined, the society gets ruined. - Excerpt from   New Year's Eve Puja 1997 If she quarrels and argues with everyone then she is not a  shakti .  Shakti  means that you can integrate with everything. The highest. Whatever happens you are above it all. Then you are the  Shakti , but if you got suppressed then you ar...

I wanted to write this on FB but thought no.  While I will get some supporters, I am sure some parents will also be very against me too. I don't intend to be a Tiger Mom.  And I am telling only what I have gone through at work. I have this subordinate, who is 31 years old this year.  Single and have few years working experience in the Big 4.  Father is a respectable man in the industry.   Although Mr.A has working experience, he doesn't prove himself to be so.  He can't perform simple Excel function.  He can't finish his task on time.  He will promise the manager that he will do this and that, but in the end he can't deliver his promise.  If you don't tell him what to do, he will not do it.  When he didn't deliver his task to me on time, he doesn't even update me the status.  Instead, I have to keep on reminding him over and over again.  Someone needs to sit next to him and guide him step by step, as if holding his...

Just few days ago, I was looking back to year 2014.  I wanted to see how the year has been.  Honestly, it wasn't that great. Just as if things were already at the worst when I sprained my ankle and this time it never seem to heal no matter how long and what I did, then I got the most terrible flu for the year.   But today, it seems that my luck came back.  Forget about the flu for a second.   Miracle No.1 We have to go to LHDN to do some stamping for his visa and work application.  Initially I took half day off to do this.  But because of the flu, I got MC instead.  So, early in the morning, we went to LHDN and got a nice parking in the basement.  Then when we took the number, a lady came to exchange her number with us because she wasn't prepare with her documents.  We went first and got things done within 10 minutes.  Went to the parking machine and found we don't have to pay a single cent because we wer...

Today is a post dedicated to the people around me.  As I was walking to my office, I learned that there are so many persons in my life who taught me valuable lessons and there's so much to learn from them still.  And I am not talking about teachers. So, here's a post dedicated to them and thank you for your valuable lessons.  There's still much more to learn everyday from you all.   Blanket thanks to colleagues, old and new Besides teaching me at work, in life also I learned so much from you all.  Learn to be strong when faced with problems.  Learn to prove myself and to keep on improving myself.  Learn that beneath all the difficult tasks at work, lies great responsibility at home.  And through some of the bosses, I learn to direct anger only at issues and situation and not at persons.   Special mention to Kavita My colleague at work who sits next to me.  Thank you for cracking jokes everyday and lighten the mood at the...

Today we are going to talk about discretion.   What is discretion? Discretion  means that you must choose the things which are good for you. which are benevolent to you, which are good for the collective, which are good for your ascent. On the contrary, the people who have no  discretion  fall into the traps of wrong type of people. Like say, Freud. I mean, to an Indian, Freud, nobody can believe that you can go to such  a nonsensical idea. But people accepted Freud more than they could accept Christ because the  discretion  was completely missing. If they had that traditional  discretion  in them they would have been saved. It is that traditional  discretion  is the thing that comes through Ida nadi. (Hamsa Swamini Puja, 1988) OK, forget about that for now.  You see, sometimes, somethings happened in the social media which prompt me to research for a further understanding.  And during the research process, I ...

Another self-thought-introspection-post. Have you ever wondered, how come things happened the way it is?  Have you ever have a day where you feel it's truly not your day?  A day where everything goes wrong? What if the day didn't go wrong but was right all the way? Because we really do not know what's install for us for the day.  Sometimes it's a bad thing that happened, say an accident.  But that could be a bhoot or badha or something is wrong with us that day.  Sometimes it's like you lost your way and then found you are actually not lost, but just circling to vibrate the place, maybe?  Or for you to learn a new road? Here's my experience.  I was feeling rather upset that things were going downhill.  Nothing seems to be improving and it's just one bad luck after another. So, we took a break and stayed at a yogi's place for over a week.  During the break, we broke (pun intended) some things.  After the break, things...

The answer is of course not to.  But it's the same with Shakespeare, "To be or not to be" from Hamlet.  Prince Hamlet contemplates whether to die or not to die, having complained about life but realised the alternative option could be worse.  The obvious answer is of course to live. That's the choice we are given.  Our free will.  To decide what to do.   As Sahajis, we can also make mistakes.  We are not accident-free either.  Some would say it's a bhoot or negativity.  Maybe it's certain chakra's qualities still lacking, i.e lack of discretion, lack of wisdom, lack of discrimination. It can be as simple as a click of the mouse.  Sometimes after clicking the mouse, then you realised it's a mistake.  Some mistakes can be reverted.  Some cannot. Sometimes it's not a physical action.  It could be an emotional one, like whether you want to react or not. I have a weakness that I react too quickly only to re...
