Teachings of Shivyog Cont...

नमः शिवाय! बाबा जी कहते हैं: "जो भी शब्द तुम अपने मुख से निकालते हो, वह फलीभूत होता ही होता है क्योंकि मैं ही परब्रह्म हूँ| मेरे संचित कर्मों के कारणवश मेरे कहे हुए वचन कुछ देर बाद फलीभूत होते हैं पर होते अवश्य हैं| इसलिए अभ्यास डालो की हर समय अच्छा ही बोलो| कुछ लोगों को आदत होती है ऐसे कथन बोलने की - 'कहाँ मर गया वो? आया क्यों नहीं?', 'यह क्या कर दिया उसने, अब तो वा मरेगा', 'आय हाय यह कैसी सब्ज़ी है', 'पागल हो गया है क्या?', 'वो तो पूरा ही उल्लू / गधा / कुत्ता है',' 'दिमाग़ खराब है क्या तेरा?', 'दिमाग़ मत चाट' इत्यादि| इतना अभ्यास हो जाता है हमें ऐसे वाक्य बोलने का की हम अंजाने में ही बोल जाते हैं यह सब| तर्क देने वाले कहेंगे की इससे क्या होता है? देखो जो बोल तुम conscious mind से बोलते हो, वही तुम्हारे sub conscious में बैठ जाता है| तुम बेशक मज़ाक में ही क्यूँ ना बोल रहे हो पर दूसरे व्यक्ति की चेतना में किस रूप से जाके बैठ रहा है यह तुम्हे नहीं मालूम| जिस भी चीज़ का हम बार बार संकीर्तन, मनन और अध्ययन करते हैं वह हमारे मन में जाके बैठ जाती है और एक न एक दिन फलीभूत ज़रूर होती है| इसलिए कोई भी वचन तुम्हारे मुख से, हसी-हसी में भी ऐसा ना निकले जिसमें दुख हो, पीड़ा हो, किसी पशु से तुलना हो, किसी बीमारी का उल्लेख हो, घृणा की भावना हो और किसी को संताप पहुँचने का विचार हो| वाणी, पाप और पुण्य कर्म करने का एक शक्तिशाली माध्यम है| इसको किसी की प्रशंसा या फिर उससे भी उत्तम - उस शिव की जयजयकार करने में ही लगाना|"

Quaries of Sadhaks...Part 18

Q. Namah Shivay, Ishan Bhaiya! I am not the head of my house and I am the only one who is a Shivyogi in my Family. My parents are not willing to remove the photographs of my departed ancestors. Can we put some yantra behind the photo like Sri Yantra or MM Yantra to neutralize the energy? Please guide me. Namah Shivay!

A. Namah shivay. In Shiv Yog we don’t force our views on anyone. So if the circumstances don’t permit you to remove the photo play regular chantings in your house and continue to do the sadhna daily. More than anything, it is your own mind that needs to be regulated. And if that is happening, all else will slowly fall in line. Sadhna and sewa by serving food are foremost and other aspects will come later. Blessings.

Namah shivay! Yantras can be displayed separately but not around, behind or before the picture.

Q. Babaji, I want to ask a question please answer me, I got married to A Shivyogi but my wife does not does Sadhana regularly which I don't like so please reply me whether I should ask my wife to Sadhana on regular basis or not or let her do Sadhana as and when she feels like doing it though both of Us are graced by Babaji With Sri Vidya level three. Please reply.

A. Namah shivay. Howsoever correct you may be in your beliefs as you are in following the daily routine of sadhana, never expect anyone to be like you. We all are unique; No one can be like us. That is why every individual is special. Baba ji says never waste your energy in analyzing others. By constantly projecting worry and anxiety due to her not doing sadhana, you are accumulating more karma. Firstly stop judging her. Stop worrying about her. Whether she is doing sadhna or not is her karma. You only need to be worried about whether you yourself do the sadhna, sewa and sankirtan or not, whether you are giving her unconditional love. Just accept her the way she is. Your wife is not your enemy or slave. Do not try to change her as per your whims. Why don’t you perform so much sadhana that the energy of your house enhances manifold such that circumstances change by themselves. Remember always that the key to changing situations outside lies in surrendering to the Almighty and requesting with a pure intention. To sum up Baba ji says "oda karm ode naal mera karm mere naal" (I’m responsible for my karma and actions and others are responsible for their actions. I must not be analyzing, criticizing or trying to change others. I must be worried only about what I have to accomplish. Rest everything will fall in place). Another thing you mentioned is that you are a level three sadhak. Understand the value of the deeksha you have received. Not all are lucky enough like you. Have the feeling of gratitude to the Guru, Whatever incident is there in life, just witness, Bring drushtabhaav. Don’t react adversely. Be happy in every situation. Har haal mein khushi. Blessings

Q. Namah shivay babaji, mera dhandha do saal se chopat hai ,me akdam khalas ho chuka hu ,kam milta hai to kam karne vale nahi milte,aur kam karne vale milte hai to kam nahi milta, jo bhi karta hu to sab ulta hota hai , paisa ka bahut dikkat rehta hai . Mei char mahino se shivyog juda hu aur maine baroda shivir attain kiya tha, tab se mari shivyog aur babaji apke prati shardha aur vishwash badh gaya hai , mere manko bahut shanti mili hai, babaji ashirvad dijiye ki sab thiq ho jaye,apki krupa sada mere aur mere parivar par bani rahe , namah shivaya.

A. Namah shivay! Perform the Shree Vidya sadhana daily and begin donating to the poor, even if it means a chocolate daily. All the problems in life are a result of our karmic factors. Release them through Shree Vidya or Durga Saptashati sadhna and nishkaam sewa Selfless service to plants, feeding the animals and the underprivileged people. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivya ,how can I come out from unnecessary thought process , even few word also relating to unwanted things , could you please advise.

A. Namah shivay. You need to raise your vibrations to remove unwanted thoughts. Start doing swadhyay or Durga Saptashati recital daily in the morning and evening. Listen to Baba ji's discourses or bhajans especially before meditation. That will calm your mind. Organize your life. Clean up your home, workplace and the mind will follow suit as you make a routine for sadhana and worldly duties. Blessings.

Q.  Ishan Bhaiya! Thankyou for this message, I would like to ask you that by the grace of Babaji I have received Sri Durga Saptshati Deeksha, and SV Level 1 & 2 but doing both every morning and evening means about 3 hours in total. Could you please throw some light whether can we do it alternative days or any other manner in which we can combine both?

A. The process cannot be tinkered with. And so the best way out is to do one in morning and the other in the evening. And for greater results continue the sadhana of unconditional love, smile and forgiveness throughout the day. Blessings.

Q. Thank you Ishanbhaiya for always guiding us. I had a question? My husband has recieved durga sapshati deeksha and Shri Vidya level 1and 2…and infinite dimentional sadhana. He would like to know after doing infinite dimentional sadhans does he have to invoke sanjivani shakti thru sun god with gratitude to heal all parts of our body or just do the infinite sadhana direct like in the CD and it also heals our body too?

A. Namah shivay. Doing the sadhana in itself heals multiple aspects of your life. But if you have more time at hand and want to dedicatedly heal any body part then you may take out separate time for doing so. Just bring the emotion of devotion towards God and everything will happen on its own. Just surrender. On your part, you just let go of the ill feelings within you towards yourself or others. Namah shivay

Q. Baba ji mere jeevan mai bahut sare parivartan huye hain jab se mai shiv yog se judi, par abhi kuch dino se mera dhyaan bilkul nahi lag raha hai aur isse mujhe bahut bura lagta hai.

A. Namah shivay. So long as we are in the grip of the Guru's shakti, we feel blissful in sadhana and there are no thoughts. The moment we resume ways which are regressive, our downfall begins. Judging others, even so in the mind, criticizing others, watching criticism on TV or hearing someone highlight the bad qualities of something or someone, running towards greed, shouting at others, being jealous of others, analyzing the incidents in your life, remembering past sorrow etc all contribute to developing a stream of thoughts in the mind and the will to meditate automatically goes away. Baba ji says that: "जब संसार और बुराइयाँ मन में होती है, तो उथल पुथल मच जाती है और जब परमात्मा मन में होता है तो परम शांति की अनुभूति होती है| इसलिए अपनी दिनचर्या ऐसी रखो जिसमें संसार और अध्यात्म का सही मिश्रण हो और सही समय पर हो| सुबह और शाम को साधना करना ही करना| इसको भूलना नहीं| यदि विचार अधिक आ रहे हैं, तो माता के चित्र के आगे दीपक जलाओ, थोड़ा संकीर्तन करो और फिर साधना प्रारंभ करो| माँ से प्रार्थना करो की हे माँ मुझे गहरे ध्यान में ले जाओ| मेरे संचित कर्मों का भक्षण करो| मैं अपनी सभी बुराइयों को छोड़ती हूँ| मैं सभी कुछ आपको अर्पित करती हूँ| मैं स्वयं को क्षमा करती हूँ| मैं सभी क्षमा करती हूँ| मैं सभी से प्रेम करती हूँ|"

To calm your mind down a little more, watch Baba ji's videos, even if for 5 minutes or 10 minutes daily. This YouTube channel has been created for this very purpose
