Explore You

It is very normal that people would like or love to explore the world to learn as many as things from it. It is much needed. However, those learning are needed to live in this world. To compete in this competitive world, to survive in the race towards success, most importantly to LIVE for OTHERS. At last, one fine day we feel the boredom as why this race…we are on the middle of the race and thinking about this as why this race is? Why should I run with others? What made me to participate in this race? Is this giving any pleasure or is it giving pressure and shows some level of saturation? We are unable to find the answer. I was put into the same scenario few years ago.

Angels of thoughts stroke me to go deeper in me. I was unaware of what is that “Going Deep Into Me”?  I asked a question as How to dive deep? Googled it, started reading from scriptures, started listening to people who are living in wisdom. I put myself all alone. I started talking to myself. I felt good and happy. Started to seek the answers from within which shows the potential and purpose of my visit to this planet. I could trace out few strengths that has to be polished before executing. Deep sense of gratitude arose in me as I found few answers in me. I found that anything which comes from outside stays short and everything which comes from within lives long.

Whatever we explore from outside gives pleasure that vanishes at one point of time. We watch movies, live or relayed sports through television or in direct, we go for a trip to most beautiful places of the world etc., etc., and finally we get some pleasure. I agree to it. How long it stays with us matters a lot. On the way back from the trip or after the show, if some news or information shake the mind from the steadiness of pleasure, the very moment human mind jumps from the pleasure mode to the pressure mode. Very few hours ago the mind was in pleasure mode and now unable to be in that state of peace or happiness.

This is how the life goes. When we start talking to our-self, being with our-self, some state of confidence comes in. An unshakable faith getting glued with us. Now even the storms of emotion hit you, may be in the initial state of self-realization it may strike, but the impacts are subtle. Upon continuous practice to be with the self and exploring the wonders in us, I am sure we will start LIVING than just EXISTING in this materialistic world. We can feel the completeness, soulfulness and waves of happiness.

Alright, how to find the self?

1. Learn and Practice Meditation

2. Listen to Pearls of Wisdom by Enlightened Masters

3. Be in the wisdom

4. Apply the learning in real life

5. Start doing services to the human kind

6. Start seeing good in everything (Even if it has other side)

7. Love Yourself…Love Others

8. Be calm…Ignore the Storm

We can also live happily in this materialistic world or the path of life which has zigs and zags..

I conclude this article by underlining a concept, Only when a person Explore the self, he/she is in Contentment state. Contentment gives a state of pleasure which stays long. It cannot be taken away. Seek something which stays with YOU, connects YOU and gives Contentment. Only the Eternal Self can show the Unlimited Potential in YOU. Self Awareness Gives Inner Peace and Outer Dynamism. Find it….
