FREE WILL OR FATE, OR DESTINED FOR DESTINY......



Heavenly Blessings,



 FREE WILL OR FATE,  OR DESTINED FOR DESTINY......

 
DESTINY
Fate is a changeable future, while Destiny is inevitable, You can choose your Fate, but not your Destiny......


Hardships often prepare ordinary people, for an extraordinary Destiny......


Meeting  you was, FATE
Becoming your friend was a choice, FREE WILL
But falling in love with you was beyond my control, DESTINY......



Nothing is accidental in this universe; everything happens for a reason, the future is cast in stone, but when we reincarnated God gave us a great gift, the gift of free will, so that we can change our future with our choices, but each and every choice that we make has an outcome, which is already predestined for us, that is Destiny. Do you understand the consequences of each and every one of our thoughts, words and action, and where it can lead us?



We have lived hundreds of lifetimes as humans, and after each birth, our karmic actions are reviewed, by our higher self, the soul and our spiritual guides without judgement, and accordingly we decide then, the next course of action probably another birth, to make changes and amendments for our past mistakes, to learn, to experience, to feel and give love unconditionally, to evolve further in the spiritual realm, although we may not be aware consciously of what has happened in our past life, but our souls carry the memories of all our past deeds, our negative karma’s can be gradually erased when we consciously make positive changes in our earthly life.



Our life is controlled by number of factors, first and foremost our cultural background, other peoples choices like our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, our astrological configuration (is the occult powers by the stars), which is directly influenced by actions in our past births, our thoughts, will power, feelings, emotions and our interaction with others in our vicinity, is responsible for more karmic deeds in our present birth.



There are lot of  material and  different views are propounded regarding free will and destiny, and most of them are quiet true, you will get a broader view when you read them, we are not here just to work, make money, enjoy ourselves or be religious, go to the church, say our prayers regularly, yes it will help to find peace. We are here because god wants to experience his highest consciousness through our physical bodies, we are here to balance our energies the yin and the yang, we are here to pay off our karmic debts, to grow and evolve spiritually, and when there is a perfect balance, our consciousness spreads, to each and every soul, to every living and non living organism, time and space shrinks, and the laws of the universe is revealed to us.




In this realm God has provided us with everything, before we take birth we decide who our parents, siblings, extended family will be. Our birth place, village, city, country, whether we are born to wealth and affluence or in impoverished surroundings, everything is predefined, our boundaries are fixed before our descent, this we call Destiny, we have no choice, a redemption for our past mistakes and wrong choices, but this earthly realm is our playground, here we can use our will and choice to face our current life challenges, to make changes in future, the ball is in our court and we can manoeuvre our life in the right direction to hit the goal. They say we often meet our destiny in the path we take to avoid it how true, if we are tuned to nature, we will see synchronous events which will point us to our destiny, but in many cases we refuse to take the path, for varied reasons, maybe it is not attractive, is arduous, or does not pay well, we prefer easy going paths.



 For example we may be born to parents who are teachers, perhaps destiny placed us in  a circumstance were we could follow teaching as a profession, perhaps to redeem our past karmic debts in this particular profession with certain people who are going to cross our path maybe in the near future, but we choose to join the acting field, which is not meant for us, but the path maybe right for others, not for us, but we chose the path because it will expose us to a better life of name, fame and wealth, after all we have our free will  and free choice to choose things our way, what happens here is we are deviating from the path set by our soul, and  eventually  instead of breaking free from the vicious reincarnation circle we create more karma’s with more people. Here I would like to make myself very clear by saying that there are no right or wrong paths, our paths are chosen by our soul depending upon our karmic deeds in different births,  but we have our free will and choices once we descend to this realm, we are lured by the attractions of this enchanting, transitory world. Men and women exhibit traits of greed, jealousy spite, arrogance, it destroys relationship between people, many breach all societies norms to amass wealth, greed lures them to the wrong path where they ultimately  resort to drugs, alcoholism, murder, suicide, have flings, strings of affair with wrong people, go bankrupt, sometimes people maybe in the right path, but resort to wrong means in the course and lose everything in the long run, and this happens in case if this is not the predestined path set by the soul.




I would like to give another example, Dave meets Kathy, in an unusual circumstance, there is no love at first sight stuff, but they are attracted to each other,  somewhere deep inside, he is being guided towards her, they are meant to be or destined to be with each other, that’s the path predefined by the soul, but Dave finds Carol far more attractive and vivacious, its love at first sight stuff, here he uses his free will and choice, to gradually moves towards her, in many cases this type of relation works for some time, because of the love factor and romance involved,  but eventually  falls apart, due to personal differences as they were not meant for each other, unfortunately he has created karmic debts with both Kathy and Carol. 




In any case, be it relations, different occupations, venturing into new territory for jobs, business, or to find a new house, observe the synchronous events that surround you, either they help you or warn you of impending dangers,  dreams that will reveal to you, spirit guides who will guide your path if you are open to communication from the other side, or else you will sleep walk through the whole connection, by the time you have realized your mistakes, it’s too late to make amends, or redress your grievances for the damages done to your reputation, emotions, and health. Acquisition of materialistic wealth for physical comforts is good, but not to the extent of sacrificing our health and family, squandering wealth in frivolous pursuits will ultimately destroy us, but used for the right purpose, will always benefit us and others in the long run by creating good karma’s. We should have good moral, cultural, and intellectual values, good sexual relations, a right balance of food and sleep; enjoy social gatherings and parties, but nothing should be done in excess. We have to keep good, positive people around us, remember eventually our wealth, good looks, name and fame does not matter. Ultimately, how we interacted with others, our positive thoughts, words and actions in relation to each and every individual who crossed our path matters, the rest will remain on this earthly plane for others to enjoy.




The more we balance ourselves the less pain we will cause to others, and to ourselves, we will make greater progress in our lives, we have to find a balance in all fields of our lives, in our professional and personal relationships, to give love and care for others is a part of our earthly mission, but not at the expense of ourselves, because we have to be happy first before we give happiness to others, we should be  like the sun, or a candle which lights its world before it gives light to the others, look at the trees they bloom, with flowers and fruits, before they give it to others, they do so silently, they do not take the credit for it, we have to give unconditional love to others, like mother nature, which protects, feeds and nurtures without expectations.




In every incarnation our souls learn that good thoughts, words and deeds bring us joy, when we help those in need it gives us tremendous happiness and raises our energy level, our positive experience will help us to grow, evolve, and repay our karmic debts.
In the end we will complete our life cycle and go back to the source that is our original home to the Almighty.......

YOU AND ME

Heavenly Blessings,




You and Me


When you first looked at me
a warm glow came over me
and I wanted you,
to look at me again and again.


When you first smiled at me
TENDER  FEELINGS awakened in me
And I wanted you,
To smile at me again and again.


When you first touched me
A thrill of pleasure runs through me
And I wanted you,
To touch me again and again.


When you first hugged me
My heart skipped a beat, ENAMORED
And I wanted you,
To hug me again and again.


When your lips touched mine
SOFTLY you whispered, “I love you”
and I wanted you
to kiss me again and again.


when you are with me
time stands still, there is magic in THE AIR
and I wanted you
to be with me eternally.........


 AMEN

LOST SOULS



Heavenly Blessings,



LOST SOULS


Imagination flies with unfolded wings, soaring like a free bird

In search of the lost knowledge, locked in the heart of the Almighty,

In different births, in various countries, with unknown lost souls

 Following diverse paths, but moving towards the same goal,

The ultimate quest for the truth, the infinite mind will reveal that,

The all knowing soul pure and wise, confined to our physical being,

Has the keys to the deep mysteries of the expansive universe........


                                                     - AMEN-

TWIN FLAMES (A DIVINE LOVE STORY PART 3)



Heavenly Blessings,

 
THE  DIVINE TWIN FLAMES

TWIN FLAMES (A DIVINE LOVE STORY  PART 3)



In all the world there is no heart like yours, In all the world there is no love for you like mine........Maya Angelou.


Really important meetings are planned by the twin souls, long before the bodies see each other, both twins feel simultaneously inspired and toppled by the power of union......


Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you, for there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest......


Twin flames do not look into each other’s eyes, but in fact are looking forward in the same direction, towards the same goal......


Relationship requires honesty, trust and faith, which is a basis for true love, a love which flows from your soul, it’s a blissful feeling that you are in presence of god himself, a love which is not based on physical attraction, or emotional need, or to fulfill some kind of commitments.
 Many a times people get into relationship for selfish reasons, either for wealth, power, good looks, to satisfy their ego.  some suffer from obsessive disorder, you hear of stalkers who follow a particular individual who catches their fancy,or dominate their thoughts, they obsess after such individuals, and go to any extent to be with them, there are others who reluctantly get into such relationship just to carry out an obligation, more so if someone has pulled them out of depressing situations, or helped them in a difficult phase of their life. Well, it’s good to be in a committed  relationship, but such affairs cannot be sustained in the long run, because apparently a person who is bound and obliged by a sense of duty can never truly love.



Twin flame relation strikes a different chord, this being a soul based relation, does not stick to the standard norms of earthly relations, what the soul comprehends is not in accordance with the logical practical mind, it goes beyond any sense of logistics, the foundation of the relation is so strong it can withstand the test of time, and will overcome all the negative influences, opposing physical or non physical forces, or adverse circumstances, these detrimental and antagonistic elements will do everything in their power to separate the twins, which is not that easy, since the twins are under the divine protection. As I have said earlier, only past karma's or ego related issues between the twins can come in between them, if either of them are unaware of the divine relation. 

 
MARY MAGDALENE AND JESUS

The twin flame relation is basically to balance your karma, to evolve as individuals before uniting with each other. In history and mythology there are few cases of twins reincarnating in the same dimension to be with each other, for example it is believed by certain school of thought, that Jesus and Maria Magdalene are twin flames. When Jesus reincarnated, in this realm, he wanted to bring about overall spiritual, and social growth of the people, his twin flame Mary Magdalene also took birth in the same dimension as his spiritual companion to balance the masculine and feminine, they joined together for the highest good of mankind, in alignment with God’s will, so that they would obtain a perfect resonance between them, and would assist one another’s growth.



 In those days the voice of feminine was curbed, their freedom restricted, they had no place of importance in the political, social or religious scenario of the then society, Mary Magdalene achieved great importance in the inner circle of the Christ, though the path was a difficult one, and she had to face the brunt of anger and jealousy of the other members in Jesus’ coterie, but the lord was always by her side supporting her. With her tremendous faith, love and trust in Jesus, she was responsible in bringing women forward in Jesus circle and making spiritual transformation and changes in the general outlook of the women in that period. It goes without saying that when the twins are aligned, and tuned to one another, their powers multiply and together they become a potent force, and exercise their power and influence to bring about immense and powerful changes in this realm, and that’s how Christianity originated and spread to every nook and corners of the world.

 
SHIVA AND SHAKTI

In Indian mythology, Lord Shiva and Sati were considered to be twin flames. Shiva the masculine principle symbolizes the consciousness, and Sati or shakti the feminine principle symbolizes the activating power and energy. When they combine a great movement is activated, and creation arises. As the story goes, Sati fell in love with Shiva, she wanted to marry him, but Lord Shiva was hesitant, and not very keen about the proposal, as she was incomplete as an individual and had to learn certain lessons for spiritual development, as we all know twins have to bring about positive changes within themselves before they unite with each other and embark on a spiritual quest. She persistently followed him and devoted  her time to serve him with pure love and affection, Shiva was convinced, and eventually they married, it was a blissful marriage, they lived happily.
It so happened that Sati's father held a ceremonial function, were all the beings from heaven, and earth were invited, but Sati and Shiva were deliberately  kept in the dark about this religious function, Sati  felt terribly hurt and disappointed when she became aware of her fathers decision, her ego and resentment at not being invited to her father’s religious  function was her greatest undoing, she attended the function without invitation, being an uninvited guest her father insulted lord Shiva and ignored her, unable to bear the insult to Lord Shiva, she in a fit of rage and regret, immolated herself, when Lord Shiva was informed about the tragedy, it triggered a violently angry response from him, which shook the three worlds, when the other Gods appeased him, he finally calmed down, but unable to bear the loss of Sati, he completely isolated himself from the world, and retreated to the Himalayas, and was in deep penance, his meditation was so powerful, he could not be disturbed for many years.



Circumstances changed drastically, the existing condition prevailing was very negative, the gods and human, were terrorized by a demon named Tarkasur. For the greater good of the gods and human, Sati took birth again and was called Parvathi, she grew into a lady of intelligence and beauty, being a daughter of a king, she enjoyed all the luxuries of the palace. Right from childhood she always felt, that someone was waiting for her, and  was destined for something which was beyond her reach at that time, she grew up listening to the stories of Lord Shiva told to her by her elders, and  felt a strange attraction for him, circumstances kept drawing her to him, she became a staunch devotee of him, she left the luxuries of the palace life, and went to the Himalayan mountains were  the lord was in a deep state of meditation, to serve him, it was love at first sight for her she wanted him as her husband, but Shiva was not affected by her charm and beauty, and could not be appeased in any way,  he out rightly rejected her, he was unable to forget Sati, and had no inclination to get into any kind of relationship with any women not realising that his Sati had taken birth again. But Parvathi loved Shiva so deeply, she did not give up that easily, she realized her physical charm and beauty would not captivate Shiva, he could be won only by pure devotion, love, care and attention. So she decided to perform severe penance to win her love, she did not care about the lack of comfort and the harsh weather round her. she had to undergo severe test and trials, her path was full of thorns, in spite of the austerities and enduring acute discomfort she continued her penance for many years, In her meditation she realized that her love for Shiva transcended everything and for all purposes she was his other half, his twin flame, they were incomplete without each other, it was her spiritual path and her destiny, to become Shiva’s Shakti. Shiva himself disguised as an ascetic tried to dissuade her but to no avail, she never gave up, till Shiva relented, accepted her as his other half, with a gentle persuasion from the other Gods and Parvathi, he abandoned his decision to become a recluse, and become a householder. He realized that she was his other half Ardhnareeshwari), and for all purpose their union was divine, and for the greater purpose of preserving good in the universe, He personally went and declared his love for her, eventually they married. The children created by them, were ultimately responsible for getting rid of the demons and bringing peace to heaven and earth. Shiva and Shakti (parvathi) is a highly charged divine partnership, they came together, for the highest good of humanity and divinity.

 
MIRRA ALFASA AND AUROBINDO

Shri Aurobindo and Mirra Alfasa, who was called (the mother) in Aurobindos close circle were twin flames. he was an Indian nationalist, a freedom fighter, a major Indian English poet, philosopher and yogi.
Mirra was born in Paris to a Turkish and Egyptian parents, and came to Aurobindo’s retreat in Pondicherry, India to collaborate on editing the journal Arya, the moment she set her eyes on Aurobindo, It was as if the person whom she had seen in her dream was right in front of her in reality, it was like déjàvu, she then decided that she would stay  with him and help him in his spiritual quest, it was a mammoth task for her, being a foreigner and a woman, she was not easily welcomed by the other disciples of the master, as they had no women members in their ashram, she had to face a lot of hostility and antagonism, but the master supported her and enveloped her with an aura of protection against the dark forces. 

Shri Aurobindo wrote that “the supreme state of human love is the unity of one soul in two bodies”

Mirra wrote that “without him, I exist not; without me he is unmani fest”

Shri Aurobindo was a recluse yogi in the later stages of his life, he hardly interacted with the people, preferring solitude, he kept himself to his room and discussed with a small circle of people close to him about spiritualism, philosophy of life in general. He developed his own vision and philosophy of human progress and spiritual evolution.

Mirra founded the Shri Aurobindo ashram, with a handful of disciples around the master, and with the approval of the master she became the leader of the community, a position she held till her death. she took charge, conducted meditation and acted as a spokesperson for the master. She was responsible for women joining the ashram, The twins were so tuned they could telepathically communicate with each other, as their two consciousness were one. It is mentioned that when the master met with an accident, Mirra felt at once the vibration in her sleep, that is the depth and power of twin flame relation, together they worked for the application of spirituality to the mundane existence, their basic aim was to bring about changes in the consciousness, for individual perfection and social transformation, and to spread their teachings they took active interest in various projects, activities, they wrote number of books, articles in the newspaper, conducted workshops, they worked for the overall spiritual development of the society in general.



Saints, prophets and highly evolved souls many a times, incarnate as teachers, philosophers, and guides, and act as our guiding light, they  do not marry and feel no attraction of the sexual or romantic kind for anyone, in such cases I feel the masculine and the feminine polarity, the ying- yang energy are bound together in one body, they were one complete soul in one body, there was no separation of energies, one complete joy and ecstasy, no wonder they could go into a state of eternal bliss. They mainly incarnated in this realm to raise  people to a higher spiritual or intellectual level, to spread religious and spiritual teachings, to assist common people in the day to day mundane existence, to lessen their mental and physical troubles, to spread love and a feeling of brotherhood for one another, to bring about socio- economic changes for the benefit of many. Great saints like St Francis Xavier, Mother Theresa, Saibaba and many others are a few examples.



Coming to the twin flame relation, It is not necessary that the twins will be doing the same things always, but many a times there is a synchronicity in their words and action, sometimes if one twin has certain thoughts, about a particular thing, the other twin will instinctively pick that energy, and you will find that he or she will mention it in the general course of conversation, the thought may be in the form of a song or maybe a book you have read, or perhaps you have watched the same film, and a particular scene fascinated or offended you, it’s amazing and you keep wondering how is it possible, for the other to know when you have not mentioned to any soul, isn’t it incredible, the astonishing fact is that the other twin will gradually tune in to you unknowingly and slowly the energies will criss cross one another and each will feel the emotions of the other mentally and physically, If one has a headache the other will feel it too, if one goes to a state of depression the other will feel it through the soul.



The fact that the twins belong to the same sun sign or opposite moon sign is so true, the birth date of your twin keeps popping everywhere, the name of your twin flame will appear in the most unlikely places, in spite of the electrifying, but often stormy, egoistic twin flame pairing, they will always make amends, reconcile, forgive one another and harmonize the relationship. They should be spiritually evolved as individuals for the relation to last, so that when they ultimately unite with each other, their union will transcend all karmic or soul mate relations. And after death in the world beyond they will be one departed soul instead of two, were they will unite with the creator.
 
THE YING-YANG SYMBOL

 GODs love will make sure that this complimentary form of consciousness, would be bound together, as one soul for eternity, to forever merge with GOD.....

                                                         -AMEN-
