● When nothing of this world controls you,
● You drive your life without being touched by consequences and circumstances,
● When nothing affects your ego, you neither expect credit for what you do nor feel the need for validation,
Wherever you are ‘in that MOMENT’ you will be kick*ss.
You realize that it has nothing to do with people, places, or money, it has to do with your undying spirit for life and embracing love every moment. And soon it becomes your prayer to be your best every moment.
1. Be Unf***able
No matter how hard life gets on you, you don't stop loving life. You went through a breakup yet you choose not to close your heart, you have problems yet it doesn't break you down. You become that fierce light that sheds off all the darkness away into oblivion. Does light need any effort to remove darkness? No. Do you need effort to do this? No, you do not need any effort to do so, you just need to remove the layers of societal and emotional conditioning covering your light.
2. Flow like a River
“Mommy tiger bringing deer on a platter for the baby cub to feast on, isn’t bad but a loving and caring act for the baby cub.”
As Eckhart Tolle says “Everyone operates on their level of consciousness”.
I too had made many mistakes while sleeping on the bed of desires and greed. You are living an unf***able way if you are very kind to forgive yourself. This is my favorite verse from Jesus, “forgive them for they don’t know what they do” and forgiveness always starts with us.
3. Taste like Jaggery
Being kind to gain sweets is not kind, that means your action should not be in lieu of expectations ( karm karo phal ki ichcha mat karo). Mangoes do not choose to be sweet to gain some favors. It is not sweet for a chosen handful. Sweetness is its nature. Do not be selective for kindness. Let the kindness flow like a waterfall and let it reach wherever it wants to. Just when you become a flower, you will spread your goodness everywhere.
We are taught to have some boundaries so that others cannot benefit, that is why we take a shape or colour. From a human perspective, you can decide your own thing but deep down remember that you cannot be used by anyone. It's always our perception about the event. Just like we seldomly care about being disciplined, eating right, and using our time productively on vacations, we are never serious on vacations, similarly it won't matter if we realize the impermanence of your life.
5. Do Not Prove Your Point
I am good with having no point to prove because ultimately, I don’t know what it is. I don't know the absolute truth. Arguing takes a lot of time, energy, and after space in our heads. See it like this, there is a tree in front of you, you see that tree only from one side, now people standing on the other side, look at the tree from that side and say we know that tree. Now which side of people would know the tree better?
6. Becoming Love
The only mistake we make is we seek love all throughout our life without finding it within. Love is not an external phenomenon. Why can’t we become love ourselves?
Just like when we can’t find vegetables in the market, we can grow them in our garden. Becoming love means growing your own love, planting it in-house. And then sharing it with your people, passersby, your employees or employers, not like I give you my broccolis in exchange for your avocados. Instead, you feel “I’m happy with my broccoli and I'm ready to share and it doesn’t matter if you give anything in exchange.
When you become love, you naturally share it. It doesn’t become your agenda. You don't say “I need to share more love”. It comes out effortlessly and touches every person you meet. Just like a tree in the garden gives fresh air to everyone without discriminating. It doesn’t care if you are a thief or a saint.
7. Forgive to Forget
Don’t carry the hurt. You can feel the hurt, play push and pull or cry your heart out but don’t stuff the hurt in your backpack. Don’t let the hurt, close your heart. It should make you more conscious, kind, and loving. Making it stay adds more suffering to your life by manifesting similar pain, both physically and mentally.
I always say this to my daughter when she feels sad and depressed -“A heavy cloud can cover the sun but it can’t take away its light. Similarly, darkness can cover you or dim your light but can’t take the light out of you.”
Unf*cked one more time.....
“Give attention to the sound of the words, not its meaning”
If we focus on the interpretation of others thought, we will be their employee and they will be the boss. Also, no point in contemplating something which is not true. None of our thoughts are true, so why waste time? Just let it be, enjoy the way they sound, just like we enjoy the sound of the birds without knowing what it means.
8. Meet Now Forget the Next Moment
Don’t let anything you said or thought a minute before, let control or trouble you in this moment. Don’t pressure this moment with what’s already gone. It is like carrying a banana peel after eating. Throw it now.
9. Have a Singing Heart
Your ears don’t need music if you have a singing heart. Imagine your favorite happy track running in the background at all times. Music of joy, peace, and love,makes our hearts expand with oneness. Let that music touch every soul you meet or see with your eyes.
Every moment open your heart to what’s in the front, take the maximum, give the maximum, know that nothing stays forever the same, give love and live the moment beautifully. As Osho says, meditate inside and love outside, these are the two powerful things one should do.
10. Enjoy your being
We all carry the same being but the way we enjoy someone else’s company, why don’t we ever enjoy ours? We always need someone to agree to our thoughts, feelings or actions. We feel we are not enough, we feel we need someone to take us out of our sorrows and cover our fears. If we truly understand how powerful we are, we would never need another to fill our voids. It is always pleasurable to be with someone else, without making it a condition to be happy.
11. Learn to take the Criticism without Retaliating.
Wherever we react, we create karma, wherever we suppress, we create karma. So how to deal with things? Simply let it go. Don’t give it a way, don’t give it a name. Just come back to your home.
As Michael Singer says “Just leave the rope.”
12. Stop listening to your mind entirely.
As Eckhart Tolle says “Do not identify with thoughts that form in your head.” Let the thoughts come and go easily, if they stick, don’t fight much, just allow it to be.
As I say “Snooze every thought with your breath”.
There are millions and millions of people thinking at this moment. If at all at this moment, millions and millions of people decide to be in a harmless thoughtless state, there would be so much peace and love in every corner of the earth.
13. Running from things is running from yourself.
We don’t want to face people, we say they suck our energy. Then we find our own tribe. We find someone who can give us comfort and say yes to our feelings and emotions. This means we are escaping from our hidden emotions which are scared to reveal themselves. We run away from them our entire life saying we don’t allow anyone in our personal space. The truth is if someone shows us our flaws or cheats, we can't handle it wisely. To understand reality is to know that we all are stars of the same universe, there is no difference between us. The more illusions we create, the more we get away from reality.
14. Let nothing make you feel guilty.
We try to cover guilt or shame by blaming others or avoiding the truth. But if we quickly brush it off by moving ahead without any mental drama, it will not only keep us young at heart but also undefeatable and fearless. There’s nothing we can do to change what has already happened. So why make ourselves or others feel guilty? Be easy on everyone especially yourself.
15. High on Life.
We all have heard this poem “ Raise thyself to such heights, That God Himself may Ask- What do you wish me to write your fate?” According to me, this means being so fearless, that whatever God decides for you, you don't question it and take it smiling. You say “No Problem! I’m ready for this, just give me a day to wipe up my tears and get dressed up for the party” and the very next day you are ready to face the world because you know nothing lasts forever. Ergo, live every day as your last.
“Abhi Om” - Forever in love with your being 💕
