Coming together with marriage or without marriage is not 100% fool proof because two different individuals are coming together. As long as you start your journey with the understanding that I may not always be right, the other side may also be right, there is no problem.

If we can look within us, through all our joys and sorrows, is what in the Vedantic language is called the nivritti marga.

Give as much as possible, without expecting anything in return. It’s a great medicine for sorrow.

Happiness based on an inner understanding cannot be shaken by any pain or sorrow that comes from the outside world.

It is in the nature of things that in this life, there is always some sorrow and pain. There is no uniform happiness ever possible, if our happiness is based on the outer world.

What is the meaning of a healthy mind? A mind which is not torn by conflict, not disturbed by any distractions whatsoever, does not overindulge, nor is it steeped in lethargy, is active but calm, quiet but sensitive. Like in the ocean, the waves come but they don’t affect you.

Where do we find ‘Purnata’ or complete fulfillment? It does not seem to exist in the outside world. Whatever we do, we are still not satisfied. So turn inwards, says the Upanishad. Look within, here, you will find unlimited potential for reaching ‘Purnata’.

When the mind is free of all distractions, quiet, with no conflicting thoughts, then it does not dissipate any energy. The source of all energy flows through that mind. This can be used for doing good in this world and to move forward in the spiritual world.

From childhood, we are hypnotized into believing that we are limited. This is the problem. Now, what do we do? Start saying that I am the spark of that infinite supreme reality, ‘Purna is my essence. I will not stop until I reach my goal. ‘Prapya Varan Nibodhata,’ Believe me, it works.

Stay with the situation, understand it properly and keep trying to overcome it. Running away and trying to come out as quickly as possible does not work with deep rooted mental suffering.

It’s when the Kundalini energy reaches the crown that it merges with the Supreme Reality called Shivam. Shakti and Shivam become One and this ecstasy far exceeds the ecstasy any ordinary human being has ever experienced before.

The transformation of a human into a divine being begins when a person who knows how to operate the energies with deep devotion and love puts his attention on taking ‘shakti’ up the path to the ‘sahasrara.’
