Awaken the divine within you, attain purity
We humans are blessed with all the power and knowledge to create what we want for our comfort and pleasure. We call it progress, but it is a search for enhancement in our peace, pleasure and comfort.

However, what is happening in reality in the reverse, because we have misunderstood the very purpose of development or advancement.Â
Through progress we seek to control. We create a thing to feel we have control over something or are controlling something. This has never happened and will never happen. There is nothing we can control.Â
Believing something as a reality that does not exist in reality is called illusion. And illusion is a possibility only for us human beings.  The only solution for all our illusion is deeksha — lumination of the self. Deeksha is the process of illuminating the self or the process of purification of the self.Â
The possibility of deeksha is not for everyone because it has to be a real search from the soul. Every action performed by a human is decided by his mind and will power, but the ability to get initiation is decided only by your soul. Deeksha is not done by the mind or body, but done by one soul for another soul.Â
God is an everlasting, ever existing, all pervading, never depleting, invisible energy. All our talks, discussions and explanations about God are foolishness, because God is ineffable, but still all experienceable.Â
People tend to believe the soul or atman as different or as separate from God. It is a common misconception that the atman can connect with the paramat man . It is called the atman because it is part of the paramat man , but during its existence, unaware that it is part of the paramatman or God.Â
This awareness that you are part of God, is not God-awareness but Vedas call it self-awareness; because the very self is God— the source of every existence. Knowing that this source is your real self is self-realisation. Â
Living life is easy and it is always easy when you are aware that you are the self and you are the source.  Wishing you a life full of goodness and greatness in all  aspects of life. Â
