Spirituality is not just fantasising; it's observing your own existence.
Experiencing your own body, your breath, your mind, your emotion and the source of your life is meditation. Meditation is experiencing the life force and being conscious of it; and it is done effortlessly. In the realm of mind, effortlessness is the key.
The process of reversing the tendency of the mind from clinging on to the negative and moving to something positive is called yoga.
Celebrate the knowledge and feel the abundance, for "those who have will be given more".
Whatever you offer with devotion, be it thorns, leaves, or water, Shiva accepts. Everything belongs to the Divine anyway, but the offering helps the feeling blossom within you.
Do not take anyone's compliment or insult... Compliment can get into your head and make you arrogant.. Insult can sink into your heart and cause you pain.
Be centered and relax I am with you...
Devotion is like a diamond; don't trade it for anything that is muddy. A diamond should never be traded for a cup of mud.
Think of doctors and nurses-they serve with care, but without getting emotionally entangled. Detachment gives them the clarity to serve effectively, especially in critical situations.
When “me” and “mine” dissolves, what remains is Shiva, you become aware of the infinite energy, so beautiful. That’s why - Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Shiva is that energy, that beauty and the truth.

🌟A desire arises with the memory of a pleasant experience and past impressions. 🌟A desire might arise through listening. 🌟A desire can be triggered through the association of certain people and a place. 🌟Someone else's need or desire may manifest in you as your own desire, e.g. when someone is hungry, you get a desire to feed them or someone wants to talk to you and you get a desire to talk to them. 🌟The destiny or a happening in which you have a part to play may trigger a desire of which you have no idea. For example, a gentleman in Quebec, Canada kept making roads and working on a farm for 30 years, not knowing for what -- for it was destined to become our Canadian Ashram.

Compassion without detachment is of little use.
Think of doctors and nurses-they serve with care, but without getting emotionally entangled. Detachment gives them the clarity to serve effectively, especially in critical situations.

Instead of asking "What is Shiva Tattva?"—ask "What is NOT Shiva Tattva?"
Everything is Shiva Tattva. It is like space, pervading everywhere. That all-encompassing principle is what we call Shiva.

Shivratri is neither merely a ritual nor entertainment.
It is a time for meditative awareness—a time to be immersed in deep bliss and devotion.

Shiva is the Guru of Gurus.
Everything is Shiva.
The Divine appears as the Guru and is also present as your own Self.
Realizing this truth is the ultimate goal of spirituality.

The Divine energy (Shakti) inside, alone can destroy cravings, aversions, dullness, lack of clarity & all negative traits.
For every decision it is essential that you are in touch with that inner source of intuition, then you will seldom go wrong.
