To be in thought is to be human; to be below thought is to be animal; to be beyond thought is to be divine.
That is what Ishavasya Upanishads says, "you can take out the whole from the whole, and still the whole remains behind. You can put the whole into the whole, and still the whole remains the whole." Let us become the whole and be divine.

Let us celebrate the AKSHAY TRITIYA with full of richness.
The man who knows nothing of the great world of music is poor; he is missing one of the greatest luxuries of life. The man who does not know how to enjoy great art works of world does not know anything about the colors. Millions of people never raise their eyes towards the sky and enjoy a sunrise, a sunset and the splendor of it. We go on missing the a sunrise, a sunset, never recognizing a sunrise, never stopping for a moment to look at a sunset and all the colors that the sunset leaves behind in the sky. We don't know what colors it has taken there -- what shape, what beauty, what kind of beings have evolved there -- but one thing is certain, that existence is overflowing. With everything it is luxurious. It is not a poor existence. Poverty is man made and it is man's creation.
Living can only mean one thing: living life multidimensionally with full of richness-- the music, the dance, the poetry, the painting, the sculpture with full of creativity and full of heart. It is all richness of life. Let us not be a worshipper of poverty; this existence is full of richness, it is luxurious, abundantly luxurious. Where one flower will do, millions of flowers blossom.
Let us resolve on this Akshay Tritiya day to live tremendously, ecstatically, in every possible way. On the physical level, on the mental level, on the spiritual level, live to the uttermost of your possibility. And let the sun and the moon in us be filled with utmost energy.

to find our lord is simple, it is a miracle we go on missing him
We go on missing our krshna because we go on looking far away. We are searching krshna with all those means and methods which are good for searching distance things, hence they are taking us away from krshna, hence we go on missing. A telescope is good to see things which are far away, but if we start looking for things through the telescope which are not far away, which are very close by, we will miss them.. and krshna is the closest to us! Even to look at him with open eyes is to miss him, because open eyes too look far away. Even an inch away is far away. if we observe that is in deep prayer or in deep meditation, we automatically close our eyes. thru closed eyes we come closure to our being, hence Krshna can be seen only with closed eyes: he is so close by --even open eyes will take us far away from him. He is just in the heart beat. This is the open secret: don't look far away, don't go after the distant, search in the close-by, look within! And krshna has always been there -- it is a miracle that we miss him! To find krshna is the simplest thing --to miss him is really a miracle. It is simply incredible how we go on missing him, because we live in him, we are born in him, we breathe in him, we die in him. hence let us change our approach, let us approach krshna with closed eyes, looking within, krshna ensures his presence there in, in us
Let us dissolve our head and grow with our heart and godliness.
The heart, it is called as the divine cave, and somewhere behind the lungs the cave is hidden where our life energy, the sensitivity, the creativity and our gods live together. As we and krshna are not two separate entities. we are the seed and god and godliness is the blossoming of it; Hence a sincere effort to be made to find where that cave is and how to enter into it. However the materialistic have gone very far away from their hearts. They are more with their head. The head is the farthest point from the heart. the distance between the head and the heart is not in few inches as it looks , but it is in infinite They are poles apart. The heart is on one corner of existence and the head is on another corner of existence. A doubting mind, remains in the head, is hung up there, and suffers tremendously because life never opens its doors for doubt. Doubt itself is the block. The moment you doubt, you are closed -- so the mind is a closed phenomenon; the heart is an opening. When you trust, you open up-- when trust is full then the opening is total. Few moments of trust become great glimpses into divinity. It takes us to godliness and krshna and thus enable us to merge with him hence let us grow with heart and enjoy the growing moments with godliness.
mind puts cover on our sensitivity and takes us away from godiliness.
It is just as if our hands are in a glove and we shake hands: something goes on covering our sensitivity. we have an umbrella and it protects us from rain, but it also obstructs the rain from reaching us .We never allow sun rays or rain to reach us and touch us, some time it is good, not to use the umbrella and just go into the rains and to feel the raining or take the sun bath.The more sensitive we become to things, the more aware we will become that god is present everywhere. In the same proportion of sensitivity that we have, we will feel the presence of god. The less sensitivity we have, the less we will feel god; if we have no sensitivity, we will not feel god at all. If we are not finding god or godliness in our time, it is not because god is not present among us but because man's sensitivity is dead. We cannot touch, we cannot taste, we cannot smell; Our mind and calculated move covering our being. if we start uncovering our being -- and by uncovering our being we will be able to discover god and the godliness
We are god in ourselves and have the potentiality to create our own world of happiness

Mind forces us to live in deep illusion
Mind forces us to live in a deep illusion -: the illusion of hope, illusion of good future, illusion of good tomorrow. Now we have been lead to such a situation where in it affairs that the Mankind cannot exist without self-deceptions.
The concept of mind has to be understood deeply. This mind which wants to de activate the heart needs lies, needs illusions, It cannot exist with the real, it needs dreams. We are dreaming Even while awake, we are dreaming continuously. Continuously, the mind is creating dreams, images, fantasies.
Day, night, mind goes on moving from no-dream to dream, then from dream to no-dream again. This is an inner rhythm. Not only that we continuously dream, in life also we project hopes into the future. Thus the mind ignored the present and made the present almost a hell. we are hoping every time that something is going to happen in tomorrow and our wishes and dreams are going to be fulfilled -- some doors of fortunes, some doors of paradise will open tomorrow. And we in the hands of the mind continuously illusioned we never fail to understand the paradise and the treasure which never opened today, and will not open on tomorrows. However the mind goes on moving in tomorrows. The mind goes on moving ahead of us: we are not one with the real, that which is nearby, that which is here and now, we are somewhere else -- moving ahead, jumping ahead.
