ORDINARY LIFE AND EXTRA ORDINARY LIFE

  • What makes our life ordinary or extraordinary? Our view on life. Ordinary life is where we are conscious but there is no awareness. Extraordinary life is where we are conscious and there is awareness.
  • What makes life extraordinary for us and not others? The interest we generate brings out Bhavana. We need to enjoy every moment of life. Our body is extra ordinary as God is inside us in the name of awareness, soul and spirit. If we do not show any interest, there will not be any Bhavana. Then, our life becomes Mechanical and hence ordinary. We should convert an ordinary situation to an extraordinary situation by thinking that everything is Divine will.
  • Why should we worship Guru, divinity and do poojas? To bring about the change that is required inside us. To bring the awareness in life and make life extraordinary.
  • What is the secret of not losing Will Power in life? By changing our mindset by singing bhajans, keerthans, by being in supreme joy and spirit and by being in satsang. By being aware of the existence of divinity within oneself (atman), bad situations will be converted to good situations.
  • By allowing our fate and destiny to overrule us, we convert extraordinary life to ordinary life. Also when we suppress our joy, our life becomes very ordinary, sorrowful within ourselves.
  • To convert ordinary life to an extraordinary life the most important thing is Bhavana (emotions). God and Guru is only a mirror who reflects the Bhavana. What is inside us is what is attracted outside. Peace, happiness, serenity and tranquility cannot be bought from outside. It should be brought out from inside.
  • The priceless gift given by God to all of us is the Chaitanya Shakti. How do we bring it out?
  • Life has to be enjoyed by becoming aware of what we are, cleaning our inside, changing our attitude and bringing in more gratitude.
