Meditation with Ajay Kapoor

Please close your eyes. Take a deep breath and meditate.

Responsibility of unhappiness

If I feel that somebody else is responsible for my unhappiness, I have not understood the real working of my mind. The mind creates expectations and that in turn results in non-fulfillment every now and then. How can everybody around me live upto my expectations all the time? It is humanly impossible. They are all there with their own expectation sets alive in them and are living in the same way. They are also unhappy like me. The path is not through the fulfillment of the expectations. It is rather through giving up expecting itself. There is no other way if I want stable and enduring happiness in my life.

Meditate on this question today.

Am I living a life that is giving me fulfillment and happiness?

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

Have you ever thought about the purpose of your life? Why you are here?

Even if you have not, let us contemplate on this most important issue today.

The purpose of life is to realize the Self. The Truth is that all of us are divine in our most intimate nature. We are all Eternal. How do I know that? Well, I know because I know. I have had tangible experiences of this Truth. I have seen what is there on the other side of the wall and I can show you also. You may ask me, how? Well, my path is through detachment from the conditionings or the illusions that plague the mind.

There is one necessary condition to realize the Self: Stillness of the mind. This is achieved with right understanding. When you understand that the snake you were seeing in the rope never existed, your fear disappears immediately. When you understand that the world – even your world – is just a superimposition of names and forms upon the Self, which is the only substance existing, you will start seeing things in a new light. When you understand that there is never any possibility of lasting happiness coming from the world, why would you keep chasing it?

Does it have to do it with your life also? Well, can there be anything more important and urgent than this task for anybody?

Are you suffering?

Are you living in an illusion that somebody else will make you happy? What made you think so?

Are you not fed up with your stories yet?

Meditation

Contemplate on the mantra ' I am free. I am not dependent.'

Start The Day With Awareness

Today can be a landmark day in your life.

Today, you can make a resolve that you want to live your life with awareness. Half the work is done if your resolve is sincere.

I will give you daily meditations that you can do every morning for ten minutes and then begin your day with awareness and happiness. It is just a matter of ten minutes a day in the morning and ten in the evening. The evening meditation will be done to review; just to straighten the priorities again.

For today, practice this meditation:

Sit straight and watch the marvel of breathing for ten minutes. Just watch. If some agitations come, look at them with compassion and start watching the breath again. Do not try to suppress the agitations. Have love for yourself.
