The Mind

The mind is a beautiful gift from God. It is the most important guide for all humans in their lives. Without the mind, we are nowhere. The mind reveals to us what to do or what not to do. It’s our choice to decide. The mind reveals many things: such as how to reach God, how to love one another and how to survive in this life. Actually every step of the way it provides us with guidance in the form of thoughts. So the life we live is based on our minds. Thoughts are very important, so pay attention to your thoughts. Remember that the life you are living is based on your thinking.

What is the mind? The human brain is a significant organ, which leads our lives. As the brain belongs to the physical, the mind similarly belongs to the soul. It is spiritual. You can see the brain with your physical eyes but you can’t see the mind. But it can travel anywhere in the world. The brain works as a machine, it receives thoughts (messages) from the mind and it will deliver the messages to the physical body through physical nervous system.

Sometimes the mind is cluttered with too many thoughts. Sometimes the thoughts are scary and sometimes they are confused. That means you are away from the present and unable to receive the natural quality of the mind’s messages. At times like that, don’t panic or get confused, when your mind wanders, reconnect again with the feeling of love and care for everyone.

One thing we have to keep it in mind is whatever country you are from, whatever religion you are and whatever your skin colour may be, it doesn’t matter. We are all God’s children. The soul has no colour we must remember that. We all came to this earth from one place to learn and fulfill our duties. After that we go back to the place where we come from. God created all of us. Messages from God come to everyone. But some pay attention and some don’t. The more you pay attention and recognize them, the more you will receive them.

The spiritual communication ability is within you and it’s a part of you. It doesn’t come right away. It takes time to develop. Start with meditation. When you meditate, relax your physical body, when you do that your spiritual soul will be active and receive messages. It’s important to practice mindfulness. When you are interested in that, naturally your heart will open up. If you have this joy in your heart, no matter what happens, you maintain peace within you.

Remember our inner selves are wiser than our material brains.

The Woman Who Raised Me

    Susee in Chilukuru, Andhra Pradesh (1981) I had the most pure, loving and beautiful mother. She was my best friend, my shining light, my first love, my baby girl and my hero. Mummy was filled with kindness, laughter, prayer and goodness. She was as fun-loving as she was solemn and wise. She gave everything to my family: kept us healthy, safe, confident and happy. I’ve always appreciated my mother for all these qualities and for so much more. But to lose her prematurely to devastating illnesses forced me into deeper reflection. I’m surprised that such a courageous and loving person ever existed and that she was my mother. She was selflessness and unconditional love personified. From the baby girl born in Narendrapuram to the woman she grew into: Mum always knew who she was. She was unwavering in her faith, lived as humbly as she did honourably and saw the best in everyone. Bullies may have tormented her but she never bowed down to them. She had the courage to face them, f...

The Soul

I'd like to share some of my views and thoughts about the “soul” based on my understanding from my life's experiences. What Is The Soul? Many times I wonder where I came from and what the reason is for my being here on earth. But the answer seems to be with in me, it’s in that element in all of us, which is invisible and unexplainable: the soul. I believe that I am a soul and have a body and that I also have God's spirit within me. When God created humans (Adam in the Biblical sense) God formed them in His own figure (which is holy and transparent). When God gave Adam the breath of life, He gave His spirit to everyone on the earth. I strongly believe that the physical body is lower to the soul because when Adam and Eve disobeyed God's word, they were given physical garments. So how the physical body is a cover to the soul, similarly the soul is a cover to the spirit. So I do believe that humans are three fold beings. The soul is the core of the divine spirit, which God ...

“Trust. Let go. Enjoy the ride”

Circa 1979, Berrien Springs, Michigan     “Trust. Let go. Enjoy the ride” In the days following her passing I dreamed of mom repeatedly. Most of the dreams were of her miraculous return home, where our family would care for her until she was fully healed,—the joy shattered by waking into reality. These dreams haunted me for months, the narratives changing slightly each time adding to my pain and anxiety. The following November, I dreamed that I was in a bookstore in the early evening, the darkness had settled in as I searched for something to pique my curiosity. I was about to pick up a book when I noticed a large window peering out toward a busy intersection. A woman had walked up to cross the street carrying packages of Christmas gifts. When she turned I caught a glimpse of her unmistakable profile. It was mom as she had been when I was five, wearing that dark green winter coat, the coat I would look for as she’d pick me up from kindergarten. I called out “mom” and she turne...
