Dirty Mind

I was talking about how the mind works and how things get tainted.
In a restaurant if there was a used glass on the table would you pour water in it and drink? Never!
In the same way if we carry previous thoughts inside the mind from previous day would we not get tainted by newer thoughts pouring in?
A glass full of liquor is emptied by someone and then used for serving regular water, would it not carry the tinge of smell of liquor?
Would a vegetarian like to be served with a ladle used to serve a non-vegetarian food? No!
Our mind contains conversations, items from the past in the form of memories, bits of information where we make judgements about someone or something and such a thing would remain with us as remnants in our mind.
We never empty our mind before we use it for the next purpose.
Sleep is a special tool given us for emptying our mind at night.
But we use it for the purpose of making more memories and gathering more trash in it.
The one who dwells in the sleep state dwells in all the other states too.
The consciousness works at night cleaning the mess like a scavenger but we cover our minds up and do not allow Him to clean it.
We sleep with silly thoughts and dwell in fear and dream on.
Getting complete sleep so that the indweller cleans up the mess is more important.
Then we can face the world with a new and fresh approach.
We feel fresh and raring to go sometimes. This happens because of this process.

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a
