ONLY 2 TYPES OF
PEOPLE EXIST .
ONE WHO THINK
EVERYTHING HAPPENS
AGAINST THEIR WILL
AND OTHER WHO
FLOW BELIEVE
EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENS
IS AUSPICIOUS.
YOU CHOOSE WHICH
CATEGORY YOU
BELONG TO.

In the whole world there are only
two kinds of people. The first
kind feels that whatever is
happening in the world is against
their will and things have to be
slightly altered all the time.

Such people will try to alter,
judge, criticize and develop the
things happening in the world
according to their ideas. The other
group, is a rare group, that feels
that whatever is happening is
auspicious as Shiva!

Whoever feels what happens is auspicious, live in Shiva Consciousness, in eternal bliss, in celebration. The other group continuously suffers because it tries to change things all the time. Everything has a message for us including death and disease.

Everything has something to teach us. Every incident raises our intelligence, raises our frequency of consciousness. In the whole drama of the cosmos, anything that happens in our life brings auspiciousness to us. It adds to us. All we need to do is look at the world as a mystery, as an intelligent mystery.

Existence is not an accident. It is independent intelligence. When you understand that it is an independent intelligence, when you understand that it is a profound mystery to be experienced and not solved, everything in your life will open itself and reveal to you the lesson it has brought with it.

When suffering comes to you, if you approach it with non-acceptance, with resistance, it will create only pain in you. It will add only suffering to you. If you approach the same suffering with deep respect and gratitude, suddenly you will see that it reveals its mysteries to you.

It will show you the reason why it happened in your life and the lesson it brought to you in your life. If you approach the suffering with acceptance and intelligence, suddenly you will see that the very suffering gives you enlightenment! It adds joy and experience to your life.

Everything happening in the world is
auspiciousness, including what you call
natural calamities.

Natural calamities are nothing but nature’s ways of adjusting itself to certain actions of human beings. So accept and celebrate the very existence of the world. In the third step, we come to celebrating god, the root and the source for the other two steps that are the self and the world. As long as you carry doubt or faith about the existence of god, you won’t experience god. Just like doubt, faith is also an obstacle.

They continue to have faith but never experience god. So now, drop your doubt and your faith about god’s existence or non-existence.

Even if you believe in god’s existence, you will have only an idea about Him – that He will have ten hands or eighteen heads, that He is tall or short. Whatever idea you may have, even those ideas can be hindrances to finally experiencing god. So drop your faith and doubt. Just remember that if there is a creation, there should be a creato
