 I have experienced; how with the right purification from a divya (divine) guru; the karmas of this life and past lives can be felt, accepted and understood in the right positive manner; in the least of time.

This also is possible after lifetimes of being born as a human; that there could be that collection of noble or pure deeds within my karmic cycles (prarabdh); that destiny took me to that soul energy who entered my life in the form of a divine guru; and who took my hand and handed me over to God-to ShreeNathji - Shree Krishn.

I have found, God is very close to us and His kripa, along with the grace from the divine guru finishes all karmic debts within us and thus the soul shines out in crystal clear purity.

The purity in our life and our inner thoughts and actions has deteriorated to an alarming extent. It becomes so easy to not remember the truth about our birth.

The required motivation and courage to stay stable on this journey towards ones reality comes from God and the divine guru the sadguru.

The lifestyles today majority of us live in; it is extremely easy to fall back into the mayic jungle. We also today have access to a lot of knowledge from innumerable sources; possibly all not authentic; because of the easy communication available in our times. The entire world is there for us with as many news and views. Our thoughts are affected by the media to a very large extent. Because of the alarmingly different thoughts bombarding us today, how can we decide what is true and important for us at the particular stage and situation in our life. The sifting of knowledge is extremely difficult, with many trying to catch attention in not all the right ways.

There are too many preachers and spiritual leaders propagating various methods. We could get totally confused in trying out the extensive ways offered to us; in our greed for fast movement we might just lose precious time before realizing we have not reached anywhere. A little peace, slightly better health may have been achieved no where near to the inner self.

Could become a khichdi (mix) of the wrong kind. We in our innocence having spent so much time doing various sadhanas (methods) wait for the right opening. We may just end up feeling very disillusioned. All our innumerable methods of praying, meditations, scripture reading, chanting, satsangs, seva, yogic kriya; are ways not directly related with God. Without the right understanding, though we may spend hours praying; required purifications do not take place. We all know; without the right purity of bhao, heart, mind, body, soul it is impossible to be anywhere near the Divine powers.

Till the time one is not established strongly in the DOT, the closeness and regular support of the Guru is important and cannot be debated.

At times it can become very difficult and dangerous for a devotee to be confronted by non- believers, who may want to argue and demand logical explanations for spiritual truths. Only the support from a divine guru can help maintain the right balance, or else its easy to slip in the comfort of the known way of life which all approve of. To be able to stay firm, one requires help and guidance in the form of the right guru or master, who is overflowing.

Except in the people close to God who have merged with the consciousness, can such a quality be felt; or else -

In a world of beggars, who will give?

All are empty in themselves, hungry for various things

Greater name, more money, higher power

Simply the strong desire to tower above the rest of the humanity in what ever capacity could even be in the mask of religion!

Do You Need Spiritual Fuel?
By Dana Rongione

 Gas prices. It seems like that’s all some people can talk about. You turn on the news, and you hear about gas prices. You pick up the paper, and you read about gas prices.

Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about it. Does the constant rise in gas prices affect me? Of course. Am I aggravated that it takes more money to feed my car than it does to feed my family? Absolutely.

But, how does complaining about it help any of us? How does it help to keep such a negative topic in the forefront of our minds day after day? It doesn’t help us at all. In fact, it hinders us from focusing on more important things, like spiritual fuel.

I don’t know a lot about cars, but I do know that they must have gas before they will run. No fuel, no go!

Our bodies work in the same way. God created us in such a way that our bodies need nourishment from food in order to work properly.

So, acknowledging what we know about our physical bodies needing fuel, why should we think our spiritual bodies are any different? Why do we often deprive our faith of the fuel it needs to grow and thrive?

In Philippians 3, Paul said, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended.” In other words, he’s saying, “I’ve not arrived. I still have a lot of work to do on my faith.”

I think we can all say “Amen” to Paul’s statement. I believe we can agree that we have not reached the level of spiritual maturity that we long for. We possess the faith, but are we fueling that faith?

The Bible compares the Christian walk with a race. So, let me ask you this question: how often are you making pit stops? I don’t watch much auto racing, but more than once, I’ve seen a driver lose the race because his car ran out of gas. You can almost hear the conversation he has with himself as he passes that last pit stop. “I can make it a little father. I have enough fuel to finish. If I just keep going, I’ll win this thing.”

Good thought. Bad plan. By not giving his car what it needed, he cost himself the race. Not only did he not win, but he didn’t even get to finish the race.

Aren’t we like that sometimes, too? So busy with our daily demands and weekly routines, we bypass our spiritual fuel. We know we need to read the Bible, but it’s often just too difficult to fit in into our schedule. Our daily time with the Lord is interrupted by phone calls, sick children, or job emergencies.

Day after day, we struggle through, forsaking our spiritual fuel, then wondering why life is so difficult and why we can’t seem to gain any ground in our spiritual walk.

God has shown me time and time again that if I will devote the time to fueling my spiritual man, He will give me the time and energy to accomplish everything else on my “to do” list.

Try it out. See what happens when your spiritual tank is full. It will cost you some time, but you’ll soon discover that it’s well worth the price.
