The year 2019 is going to be a year of creativity. To see this world truly, we all need to go beyond the duality of right and wrong, positive and negative, victim and victimizer, even beyond slumber and awakening.
2018 has been a year of miracles, sudden shifts, judgments and elevations and now we all are here with our blank sheets to create whatever we want; with whatever we have learnt.
Do you know our inner self does not recognizes cruelty, injustice, greed or ugliness? These things arise when we are truly far from our inner self and recognize resistance and separation for the first time.
When we are purely immersed in the material aspect of this world we tend to love and hate it at the same time. We love and admire people when they are exactly as we would like to see them but we turn into their dislikers when they act differently.
We are programmed to act upon our tiny egos and it is hard to let it go without another kind of programming and that is: unconditional love.
It is absolutely true that practice makes you perfect. Spiritual paths require practice and I call it devotion. Devotion to anything and working towards it sincerely, dissolves ego and elevates you above illusions.
2019 is going to be a year for artists of life- people who feel no shame, regret or guilt to create, re-create, expand and even begin a fresh! Less judgments and more witnessing!
This is going to be a year for people who see things as they are and still find awe, wonder, inspiration and beauty in them.
For people who are ready to rise above relationships, attachments, expectations and are ready to taste the wine of compassion and unconditional kindness. With no strings of attachment, ego or aspirations attached!
Compassion and kindness are two hugely misunderstood terms and I believe it is the time for spiritual seekers to understand and finally live them up in truth.
These two do not involve two parties. There is only one party- and that is You!
When you feel you were kind to someone- whoosh! You lose kindness in that very moment.
When you feel you were compassionate to someone! You lose the virtue of compassion right there.
Compassion and kindness is something you cultivate within and others come to your space just to provide you a chance so that you can feel your own virtues through their presence. This is only about you and your inner state.
This year is going to provide you a perfect opportunity to learn these virtues in real and witness your inner world changing for better.
All these years taught me much about the grace of this creation- as I travel, teach, learn, sit with my students, my clients and my teachers- I unravel much about my own inner state. I silently practice self-observation and I observed how ego turns into truth, concern turns into devotion, expectations turns into unconditional witnessing and much more.
I feel I can never thank enough to all these people but then a knowing arises within that we all are one- then who is going to thank whom? A label to other labels?
I must just stay grateful. A free flowing consciousness experiencing its own beauty through infinite dimensions of this existence. The center point of this spectrum of infinite dimensions is just love, love, and love.
We are souls- and as souls we are not under any obligation to do anything, but witness and work towards to be a witness of our own creativity. Ignorant creativity becomes suffering and aware creativity becomes beauty. We are not under any law of time and space as souls. But our memories are, our conditionings are, our beliefs and our programmings are.
Since time immemorial saints have been visiting this Earth and reminding us how to act so we drop all the acting eventually and just be. But stay mindful that even this requires self-work and self-observation; you may believe or not.
Do you know each time your awareness drifts away from breath, you generate a thought or memory? For me, both are same. Memory = Thought.
All thoughts are products of memories and all memories are products of thoughts. Both have this potential ability to take you away from your inner self and this distance is the filed for all sufferings.
2019 is surprisingly, the year of awareness which is ever-existent behind your all thoughts, the year of aware eyes those just see beauty, create beauty, share beauty, nurture beauty and cultivate beauty in everything. However, the upcoming trip around the sun will generate this warmth and surge of creativity in all souls but it is highly subjective that who will sense it and make best use of these vibrations.
As I always say, creation is benevolent- it gives us innumerable opportunities to grow, to evolve, to vibrate with thunders of joy and breathe the magic of this life- but we all know that majority is conditioned to suffer and somehow will find out reasons for it.
It is a pure choice.
For last 10 years, I have been going city to city on speaking and teaching tours, listening hours and hours to people, the stories of their current lives and even the past lives, the stories of their childhood, their parents, their lovers and their fears- I allowed it all to shower upon me.
The showers of illusions and waves of delusions of this world sometimes cast you towards the shore and then you can see and un-see illusions simultaneously.
As I said this year is bringing creativity, it will also bring the duality of it and that aspect is feeling of being stuck! So bear with it!
Feeling of being stuck is the product of belief that says you have to be in movement all the time. As humans, we forget that it is really important to stop and witness.
The moments that we feel the most stuck in life flow; those are in fact the very moments that offer an opportunity to see clearer.
At the last, I am going to give you some serious advice and that is to practice- non-duality this year.
An artist cannot create if he always thinks about being right or wrong. An artist creates from a place of non-duality where everything is just is. Like the greatest artist Creator created the creation from a place where duality did not exist; else how could he or she create duality at the first place!
People make an inaccurate assumption and that is: we must be doing what is “right” or look “right”. Social media is the biggest example of unconscious spree of “looking right”.
Do what makes you a pure observer, do what rises you above any kind of attachments, do what makes you a free flowing consciousness, do what makes you abundantly happy, do what makes you a stream of pure bliss and if that makes you feel “right”, nothing “wrong” about it!
Love & Awakening
