I Love Physics

Every one of us has a list of things and works which we love. It may be playing video games or having tea. Nobody needs to push us for them, we enjoy these things. It is actually very easy to develop a taste for something.
When I was younger, I used to hate karela. I would not even sit near someone eating it. But once my mother made a new dish with it which smelt nice and I tasted it and started liking karela. I think Physics is much juicier and tastier than karela. It just needs to be cooked and served in a right manner. The most difficult problems in Physics can be solved just by observation once you start feeling and loving it.
So if you think that you need to have a better perspective for Physics, you need to develop a taste for it then have the first bite with
I Love Physics.

I am designing this workshop and soon will be done for all of you to taste it.

Naishkarmya Siddhi


His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji
Is it possible for One man to touch more than 30 crores lives in 30 years, to make dozens of World records with each one of them looking practically impossible, to build the largest organization without compromising even a single principle, to visit 175 cities round the globe in one year? How has Sri Sri Ravi Shankar done so much and is still doing at a faster pace than ever?
Over the time, I have heard Him a lot of times saying that He has not done anything, it just happened. And I have realized it too that all this is happening around Him. This is Naishkarmya Siddhi, getting result without putting any effort. You just be, be natural, and nature does everything for you. Nature anyways is doing the things perfectly, being natural is not interfering or objecting with it. When there is an intention with absolute surrender, the results come easily.

The Magnet


Many of us have the experience that as we are regular with our Sadhana, as we do advance courses, more and more people start liking being with us. Even the least attractive of us start attracting people. This is a sign of a Sadhak. One who is connected to the Self, or at least is in touch with it. The same is with a devotee. His connection with the Guru is his beauty. The actual centre of attraction is the Guru/Self. When a normal iron object comes in contact with a magnet, even that becomes a magnet. The closer it is with the magnet, the more it attracts. A wise knows What is the actual centre of attraction and keeps going closer to It. J

The Sunscreen


You go on the field to play, you don’t worry about the sunburn if you have applied the sunscreen on your body, you know you are protected. It is not that the sunrays do not fall on you, but all the harmful part is reflected back.
The knowledge on this path is the sunscreen for your mind. You are free to do whatever you want, but you have to apply the knowledge first. Then only what is good for you reaches you, and not a single negativity can touch you. Satsang is the place where you get it, still it is you who has to remove the cap and apply it. J

I Wonder !


I wonder how my questions are changing into exclamations. The things which used to trouble me some time back are becoming things to smile at. I wonder how I am becoming comfortable with people whom I wanted to avoid, how the repulsion is changing into oneness. Perhaps that is the reason I am more in love with myself also. I wonder how the same emotions arise but take much lesser time to faint, and how I am becoming a witness to them. I wonder how the fears are leaving me, and how I am becoming aware of more fears that were there in the mind. I wonder how my prayers have changed from getting rid of a problem to getting strength to be unperturbed by the problem. How my urge to become better than the people around me is dropping off. How the teenage excitement is changing into patience. I wonder how I am accepting my imperfections and letting me learn at my own pace. I wonder, and I find myself filled with gratitude for having such a beautiful life and a Guru who makes me understand this.

Muzaffarnagar Diaries

Away from my blog, I had the best of experiences and the best collection of jokes last month in Mzz. I will start with the jokes:

Pujari ko loose motion ho gaye.
Medicine lete samay usne doctor se poochha: Any precautions?
Doctor: Shankh zor se mat bajana.


Ek angrez ne India ka masaledaar dinner liya.
Agle din toilet se nikalte hi bola: Ab samjha Indians kyun pani se dhote hain, tissue paper to bechara aag pakad leta.

Pota: Bachcha kaise paida hota?
Dadaji: Aasman se pari ati hai or maa ke pet me rakh deti hai.
Pota: Wo suhagraat vala system khatm ho gaya kya?

Queen Elizabeth & Santa were visiting Royal Stables.
A horse farted very loudly.
Queen (Embarrassed): I am so sorry.
Santa: It’s ok. I thought it was the horse.

Old age is…when wife says: Let’s go upstairs and make love.
And husband sadly says: Decide on one thing…I can’t do both.

Enough for today, will share my experiences in the next blog, and I assure you that the experiences are better than the jokes.

P.S. Leaving for Ashram tomorrow for Navratri Poojas.

Love
Jai Gurudev

Killer Drive

'Sher sunne me maza ata hai, sher sunane me maza ata hai
par jab asli sher samne ata hai, aage se dettol peechhe se burnol nikal ata hai'


This was my first driving experience. In the middle of a crowdy road, with vehicles in the range of bullock carts to trucks, Monika di stopped the car and said, " I am tired, now you drive". Both excited and nervous, I took my seat and took 7 minutes to cover the first 3 meters. My heartbeats were loud enough for me to ignore all the horns around. Monika di was teaching me on the principle that when you can not afford to do mistakes, you don't. In the next few hours of driving, I had already banged a car parked next to mine and had fixed a puncture. Whatever, I can drive a car also now. :)

P.S. Please do not drive a car if you do not have a license, I had got mine 4 years back ;)
