It is a paradox to say, “Defeat but win because we enjoy victory when we vanquish our opponents. Remember the king Ashoka the Great, after defeating the enemy in the battle of kalinga in which thousands were killed, did not have any feeling of victory but feeling of remorse and was disheartened and dejected so much so that he abandoned the idea of extending his territory and engaging in any more battles.

The flame of fire always goes up. Man must strive to attain his ideal of selfless service to humanity or Self-realization or his own divinity – Each soul is potentially divine. Each one is to choose his own ideal and work hard for it. Even if you don’t attain it, struggle is well worth it. If you aim at sky, you shoot higher than a tree.

That joy is indescribable, which one gets from the realization of oneness with the ultimate reality underlying all the dualities of the world. You may derive indescribable joy in an act of kindness if you have a link with your own Real Self. When you spread rays of hope in the hearts of the poor and forsaken, kindle courage in the hearts of the despondent and light a new strength in the heart of a forlorn and ship-wrecked brother, the joy you get from that is indescribable if you become one with the underlying reality of all the beings.

It is not a bold claim to proclaim that Vishvas Meditation provides us the golden mean of leading a peaceful, blissful life which is not shaken by the extremes of our sojourn on this battlefield of life. However courageous one may be, calmness of mind is shattered when blows after blows blow the wind of devastation over someone. With regular Vishvas Meditation you get to know that you are Absolute Existence, Absolute Knowledge and Absolute Bliss and no amount of hardship can conquer your true nature. In the vast span of life, a man is easily tossed from one extreme of joy to another extreme of sorrow. At one time, one may be burning mid-night oil and at another time, one may be killing time in idle gossip or back-biting. Sometimes he is extremely optimistic finding everything in the universe glorious and splendid. At other times thick dark clouds of pessimism engulf him hankering for a silver lining somewhere. To him, the world appears to be a place of destruction and devastation. In order to avoid such a situation of the extremes of one type or another, one should devote oneself to Vishvas Meditation daily on regular basis. Gurudev says,…

Millions of people live a one-sided life and pass away in incompleteness. God has given each of us a soul, a mind and a body which we should try to develop uniformly. If you have had a life dominated by worldly influences, do not let the world impose its delusion on you any longer. Be in the world but not of it. The material and the spiritual are but two parts of the same universe and one truth. By over-stressing one part or the other man fails to achieve the balance necessary for harmonious development. Practice the art of living in the world without losing your inner peace of mind. Follow the path of balance – the path of golden mean – to reach the inner wondrous realm of Self-Realization. It is the meditation which provides the golden mean. We will have to meditate regularly to maintain true balance. Meditation will teach us to be actively calm and calmly active. With the sheer power of meditation, even in the battlefield amidst the thunder of guns, we shall not lose the everlasting peace of mind. We will not become lazy and mentally ossified. Nor will we be overactive, able to earn…

“O man! Each Soul is potentially divine, you are the child of Immortal Bliss” has been the pious sermon of saints and sages of all the time. The vast sea of troubles and tribulations of the world also makes us agree with Tolstoy when he writes “Our pessimism is a dread reality, our optimism is a faint cheering, making the best of a bad job.”
