Putting Brakes

Hope you enjoyed the Janmasthami celebration! This week some more Guruji tidbits from my last visit to Bangalore Ashram. While talking in one of the morning session Guruji said 'today while traveling in car I (Guruji) felt we forget to apply brakes we just keep on accelerating like driving on free way'. And I wondered why Guruji was giving us car driving lessons! Wasn't this session to be of spirituality with the spiritual Master?

Then He made it very clear and simple, He said acceleration is our desires constantly interruptedly going on in our mind. Brakes simply mean Meditation! And clutch simply is the OMkar!If you simply keep on driving your car continuously without applying brake, the engine gets hot and more chances of break down and bursting of tires. Most of the time we just keep on driving we don't even realize that we have reached our home. That is what happening with our lives isn't it?

Working day and night to fulfill our desires but no time to rest! Thus Guruji emphasized the importance of meditation, slowing down and resting for a while, reposing in the being everyday, so that we are more peaceful, energetic and creative in pursuit of our dreams and desires!This is the art of living; the skill in the living, acceleration and braking such that acceleration aids braking and braking helps you to accelerate :)

Hope you enjoyed reading this one, have a wonderful week, see you at follow-up (braking session)!

Love,
