Truths of Life I Have Come to Know

SaWith the end of Sa, I had now made up my mind to read all the religious texts like Puranas, Vedas etc. Now Kshitij does not leave any work for me, whatever I say, he would complete it.

I had ordered many Puranas and also started reading them.

14On October 2023, I have decided that Lord Shankar will be my Guru. I will pray to him only to guide me.

The next day, on the first day of Navratri, I meditated with Lord Shankar as my Guru. He showed me a new path. I saw a lot of changes because of that path. The meditation which sometimes required a lot of hard work, today became successful in just one attempt. And I have no words to describe what I see next. Jai Mere Guru Dev - (from diary) There should only be a longing in the heart to meet Him. Many times in my life I have felt that the work for which I have come on this earth is yet to be done. I have this feeling again and again and I don't know how to find Krishna but He always lives in my heart. There is a light inside which burns all the time, giving me strength as well as an inspiration to say yet more, yet more. And all this is impossible without Krishna.

AIf your feelings are right and you want to meet Him, then God is the one whom you can meet whenever you want. There should only be a longing in the heart to meet Him. Many times in my life I have felt that the work for which I have come on this earth is yet to be done. I have this feeling again and again and I don't know how to find Krishna but He always lives in my heart. There is a light inside which burns all the time, giving me strength as well as an inspiration to say yet more, yet more. And all this is impossible without Krishna.

Ah I started reading Shri Krishna Charitra Manas.

The fog that was there in thinking started clearing slowly. Answers to many questions started coming on their own.

It is also written in Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran that when the inner fog disappears, the human soul itself becomes its Guru. Religion, knowledge, renunciation and wealth are attained automatically. But today no guru gives this knowledge.

Everyone is calling with open arms, come to me, I will give you light, I am a source of power, I will introduce you to God, stay with me.

But see carefully whether they even know God. When meeting such a Guru, the first and last question to ask is – “When did you last meet God?” That answer will decide your path where you want to go.

AIf you want to find your own path or find support to move forward, then there is only one answer – “You yourself.” Move forward from anywhere, you will find God standing at every step as support.

I can say that we should read these Vedas and Puranas since childhood. If we do this, we will not see any dark cave, we will not have to wander anywhere and we will not see anything blurry.

Shri Krishna says - Never commit the sin of leaving someone who has stood with you selflessly. He is your truest companion.

ShriKrishna says - “For fear of what people will say and what will be our image in the world, we should never lose that precious person who considers us as his world.” (Inventing Dreams Excerpts from the book)
