Soul-Energy-Atma. Journey from I to We to Thee

This is an E mail I wrote on July 4, 2005

Dear Sai Athma Ramesh:

By Baba's grace, we were fortunate have "Satsang" and share spiritual experiences, last evening. Many thanks for telling me about "KrishnaDas".

The following ideas come to me after we spoke.

1. We accept that we are "Athmas", I am prompted to refer it as "SAI ATHMA".

2. From Birth in this life, beginning with infant/toddler stage, we begin to dwell on "I" and "Mine" (body identification).

3. Teenage/Youth/marriage/adult stage, we move from "I" towards"We"/""US" stage, where we include our family/friends/cast/community/religious and professional affiliations etc. (i.e., we say "Our Family", "Our Community" etc., ).

4. Now comes harder part, where we have to move from "I" to "We" towards "Thee"(i.e., "DIVYA ATHMA SWAROOPA LALA" (Divine Embodiments of Love) - Reference to each one of us by our beloved "SWAMI" ) -(i.e. "Atma" stage-where we have to loose our body identification and begin to accept that we are not this Body, but "ATMA" and then to move to most difficult stage of seeing "SAI ATHMA" in every creation of Sai.

5. "Asa Thoma Sadgamaya prayer" (from untruth to truth, from darkenss to light and from death to immortality) helps us to understand this concept that "I am not this body, but atma" .

Thanks for Allowing for me to share these thoughts with you.

Thanking Sai for providing me with this insight,

Attitude is Everything

This is an E mail I had written on September 3, 2006

Sai Ram:

This is so true, "Attitude is Everything".

Finding positive in every situation is the key to our happiness.

Swami says "happiness journey begins with self-satisfaction (direct result our attitude, which determines our action, reaction or inaction in any given situation).

Swami says "As is your feelings, so is your experience".

My late Psychiatrist brother Dr. Das used to say "Get in touch with your feelings."

Attitude determines our feelings about everything -- ourselves, our family, our relatives, our friends, our neighbors, co- workers, boss, and people unknown to us.

Swami says "everything is reflection, resound and reaction." Swami says "feelings we have is a mirror reflection of what is inside of us." If we feel angry, we respond angrily. If we feel good, we respond in a positive way.

If we can only accept the fact that, "God made each one of us perfect, as we are (result of our past action and inaction." Therefore, we must accept positive and negative feelings from everyone as a reaction from God to reshape our destiny. Swami says "say everything is good for me."

Constant prayer will help to keep right attitude in every situation.

Developing intense Love for Sai by always thanking Sai (Attitude of Gratitude) and counting our blessings will enhance Love in us (for ourselves and other God's creations) to practice Swami's teaching of "Love All, Serve - Help Ever and Hurt Never".

Praise God One and All - Any Time, Every Time and All the Time. (September 3, 2006).
