Spreading the Peace and Joy (Part 1)
Some people say, "Don’t worry about the world, find your joy and your peace that is more important". Correct, that is the first step, you find your peace. But once you have found your peace, what you do? And when your peace is connected with so many people around you, how can you be in an island of peace? Can you be? No! So, when you spread peace around you only then your peace can be permanent. So going inward is as important as reaching out outside and transforming our environment. This has to happen simultaneously.
Some people say, "Forget about the world, don’t try to bring peace in the world, don’t try to reform the world, just go within yourself, you find your peace". The very first sitting in the Happiness Course, you are already peaceful. You understood to some extent the principles of life. And when we have found our peace and joy, it is our duty to spread it all around.

Q: Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of Ram Rajya, and said that when women can walk the streets alone at midnight, that is when India would have gotten real freedom?
Guruji : Where ever there is knowledge there is Ram Rajya. Where ever there is ignorance then there is Rakshas Rajya! Understand!

“Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.”
========================
If you see something beautiful, something romantic, that kindles something beautiful inside you, then you turn your attention to the energy that is rising up in your heart, and at that moment meditation happens.
========================
========================
If thoughts are coming during meditation, never mind, you know. When you realize, you again come back, observe the breath and just sit, that’s it. Some irrelevant, absurd thoughts come and go, it’s all part of stress release, hmm? You may get some brilliant thoughts or some very bad thoughts, don’t judge at that time, we don’t need to get excited, just relax.
Om Namah Shivay
