How to get Vispi's Book

Hi Folks !
How are you and how's life?


Time seems to be racing! In no time it's a week-end and then another week-end and then the month is gone!
We are already nearing May!


I do hope you have started to meditate at least for a few minutes.
Do a spring - cleaning, a pre - mid - year closure of all things painful or irritating.


In fact, do this every month.
If you meditate every day and distribute your peace and harmony at the end of it, you will not pile up the bruises and generate your own energy to be happy.


I had given the address of places to find Vispi and Ratoos's books a couple of years ago.
I am very happy to state that, that post is redundant now!
The books have all been compiled into a single one with the same name - ' The Laws Of The Spirit World ' and is readily available in most shops and on flipkart too.
It has also  been translated into Marathi - 'Jeevatm Jagache Kayade' and creating awareness on a bigger scale.
I hope it gets translated into all the languages.


I sat a month's Vipassana course in February this year and made a couple of discoveries.
They are right for me, but you may find them interesting too.


There are many layers to our thought.
We feel a thought comes, stays and goes.
Then another comes, stays and goes.
And so on.


We keep bobbing in these rapids, glad just to stay afloat.
But that's just the mind deliberately playing you like a puppet.
Thoughts are not linear, they come in a rush at times, at other times, in a fast flow!

Once you realize that ALL these thoughts only want to keep you away from your core issue, you can start to ignore them and go for the jugular. (your own) .


They succeed because we ourselves don't want to visit the painful. 
We put layers and layers of memories and dreams and thoughts on that hurt or loss or sadness and convince ourselves we are fine and others will also be fine.


If we are cheating ourselves, others will too.
People only react to the vibrations coming from you.


So, if you find yourself dwelling on something trivial or magnifying something you have no control on, stop right there.
It can be a scene in the office, a bereavement, someone's consistently nasty behaviour - go for the thorn below the pus.


Stay with it and slowly but surely, you will unravel it.
The reward is liberating, believe me.
I did it and am free of a lot of stuff I was carrying around needlessly.


Bye for now.


I got a nice comment from a new reader, thank you!
My e-mail is shubhadayeri@gmail.com


It's on the blog-profile too.


Send your questions and I shall attempt to answer them in the next post.


Take care
And meditate!

Questions on Life's Purpose

Questions on Life's Purpose

 Hi Folks !

How are you doing?

The last post has elicited a lot of interest and there are some nice questions.

It is a bit confusing, isn't it?
We are supposed to sit and chalk out our great plan for the coming life on earth after discussing with
 our spiritual guides and all the people who are going to be involved and yet, things seem to go so wrong!

Let's see the questions  -

1] We may have lived for millions of life times.
 For our example purpose, let us assume we have lived for 100 life times before.
 Out of these, it may be possible we have lived badly for 1 year period.
 Not straight, but in summation,a period of 1 year.
 Means we have 100 years of bad life in our basket. 
We have to erase this karma  to let know our true self. 


If we assume our current life time to be 100 years; we have to work day & night to cut this karma.
What is the solution to this?

This sounds very frightening, doesn't it?

And given the fact that we will make mistakes while living this life and working out that past karma too, which would bring us back to more life times, the future seems pretty bleak.

This question is so wonderful, because this is what most of us traditionally believe.

(Me too, once upon a time).

Then I became smart.
I did Vipassana.

Now read and reflect on this -

The first three stages of our human journey are connected with our fears, money and sex
and finally, power, will and emotions.

Please re-read the posts on Souls 7 stages, and all those on the Chakras.

Before taking birth, we decide which of our habit-patterns have become
detrimental to our progress,our evolution.

Is it our anger? Hunger for power? Lethargy? Making use of others? Lust?

We work it out and write our life's story.

The number of bad Karmas is not in hundreds, in fact, can be explained in a word -
Attitude.

Its like going to the super market with a big list - the items will vary from eatables to clothing to
 cleaning equipment to electronics and more.

What's common in all of these?
The wanting.

Similarly, in each lifetime, we choose which specific habit-pattern to get rid of and which one to
 strengthen.
Usually, one aids the other.

For eg, if I strive hard to control and eventually get rid of my short temper, at the same time, I have strengthened my patience, my understanding, maybe forgiveness and warmheartedness.

Also, along the way, I have also cleared my karmic debt with one or many.

When we graduate, we have the collective  knowledge from nursery to the college degree, don't we?
This is something like that.

2] In your last post how would that monk and that girl would have behaved so they wouldn’t have 
suffered in this birth or we can say that they have not taken this birth to be precise. 
I need to know their response in that life not this.

The monk, in that life, if he had really grown spiritually, should have understood the girl's hurt feelings 
and apologized for having caused it.

The girl , then, might have forgiven him, considering he had not gone after another girl, had truly gone
to become a Sadhu.

This would have gotten him out of the karmic loop from that life itself.

The girl should have gotten over her pain and anger and paid more attention to the man who loved her and actually married her.

Considering the monk was totally devoted to god right from the beginning, that he had not lied ot cheated her 
or used her in any way, she should have not taken his going away as personal rejection.

If she had not allowed her ego to get in the way, this karmic baggage would not have carried on at all, adding new layers in her life and his.


Does this make sense?!

3] Sometimes I feel that I should undergo a session on PLR, but the next moment I refrain thinking that  why shall I unearth something when everything is going alright in my life.  I have a question here:  Is PLR best suited for someone who is not suffering from problems in his current life?  Will it have any adverse effects on others who are leading a normal life till that point of time?  Have you encountered any cases where people have come to you just out of interest and then  after undergoing a PLR went into depression of some sort?  what is your suggestion to someone like me? The bestest reason for going into past lives is Curiosity! That's what I did, and learnt so much about myself! I list out 15 reasons - health, relationships, fears, phobias, purpose of life and then -  CURIOSITY, CURIOSITY, CURIOSITY - !! Many, many people come for a session without any problem at all. I send them off to 'a happy successful past life of skills ' or ' a random past life which would help you in some way now. They hit bull's eye most of the times, and go back all charged and excited. I have done over a thousand sessions and no one has gone into depression because of PLR. I swear ! Some closely held beliefs have been shaken, many egos have definitely been battered, eyes opened to the wonder of living and dying and finding oneself alive and complete - But depression? No. I would suggest you think it over and take a session ! See you sooner, next time. I am still getting used to the blog's new format,don't like this at all, so excuse the unintended  highlights in the answers and the eaten up words. Will figure out by next time! Love you all -
