Hey GodDaughter!!!

As you complete another important milestone in your career, I am happy to sit back and appreciate all the efforts you have taken and the amazing results that you have achieved.

I am seriously happy, though not surprised, coz I know what my GodDaughter is capable of achieving, at the stage where you have reached in life at such a young age.

The Balance that you have, the depth at which you think, the all-round thought that you put in is sincerely simply unheard of at such a tender stage of your career.

I would like you to take a fresh guard again at this juncture and see how we can enjoy what we have achieved and what are the small corrections that we need to do.

One important change I guess we need to do is to enjoy our work and the company that we have. HE definitely has a reason why he has given us such good people to work around with. Each one of us has a shortcoming(s), we are not perfect in everything. What we need to work on is how we can learn from the best that each person has and appreciate the fact that there are a few things which can be overlooked. How can we ignore these and still ensure that we share a good equation with each one. Fortunately we do not carry anything with us, so why carry difficult feelings which makes it heavy only for us.

Where we need to, let us work on changing our close and loved ones. But where we cannot, let us simply accept and find the best in them, appreciate and imbibe. And also with the closed ones let us work on changing the habits not the person. We love the person, and hate the habit. Let us ensure and work so that the reverse is not true. Let it be unconditional Love, Love from deep in the heart where we see only the clean feelings and deeds that the loved ones have for us. If there are some shortcomings, they should not work us up.

Sorry I did not have this on mind to write on this occasion. Let me stop on this and maybe write more about it on some other day.

Look at the coincidence. This important day of your life has coincided with such a auspicious occasion. I Pray to Lord Ganesha to always always keep blessing my GodDaughter, My GodDaughter with the choicest of blessings.May He ensure that He give you the strength and Energy to Pursue and achieve all your goals in life, both professional and Personal. May you always Excel in Life. And wishing you the Most and More in Life…

ALL THE BEST GodDaughter !!!! And Keep Rocking and making all of us Proud.

My Dearest GodFather,

Thank you soo much for this beautiful article.It just gives you a completely different perception of the negatives of life. A view which I had never ever thought of. I'm sure my way of looking at life's difficulties has changed after reading it.Thank you soo much.....

One more important thing that you have made me realised is how to enjoy my own company..... How to be happy with myself.....I never thought I will be able to do this..... Thank you soo much.....It's a big thing...

I realised one more thing - today morning when I was not talking to you on phone, I was not thinking anything, I just wanted to be in your presence......Just be there...I didn't want to say anything... Just be with you... It's very re assuring to know that you are always always there.....

Thank You

Loads n Loads of Love,
Yours GodDaughter

Dear GodDaughter!!!

As days pass by I just go on getting confirmations from the Universe that you are the chosen one. Look at the timing of the article from my favorite author.

The Whole Universe Always ..... ALWAYS is working for My GodDaughter!!!. Go through the article at leisure.

But one thing always be sure of, that there is no single experience that HE gives us which we do not deserve. He wants us to be our best and which I am sure you are and HE wants to test that HIS people are in capable hands. I am sure there would always be ups and downs in life. Not all days would be sunny. There would be a few dull days. Days when we will get hit by the reality of life. Days when we will feel why does it always happen to us. It is upto us if we want to accept all this with utter disappointment or reluctance. Or with energy and statement – Bring it On. I am ready. And I know my GodDaughter is Always Ready. My God Daughter is the chosen one.

And as you always know, your Uncle A WAS, IS and Will Always be with you to sound it off to. To get your anger out on. To be your Punching Bag. To discuss whatever topic under the Sun you want to talk about. I know that I do not give you solutions. But I guess as you speak out, it takes the frustration out. And then you are free and de-cluttered to brood over it with a slightly unbiased view. A view to look at it a little independently. My only intention is to ensure that you take a note of the happening, acknowledge it, take out the anger / frustration and then say OK. OK OK. I have acknowledged your presence, I have taken note of it and choose to be OK with it. I will think of ways to get over it when I am de-cluttered. At the moment I have taken a note of it and choose not to lose my inner peace.

See again I ended up putting a lot of my Blah Blah instead of sending the article. I stop here and here you go...

Befriending Feelings

The only problem with sadness, desperateness, anger, hopelessness, anxiety, anguish, misery, is that you want to get rid of them. That’s the only barrier.

You will have to live with them. You cannot just escape. They are the very situation in which life has to integrate and grow. They are the challenges of life. Accept them. They are blessings in disguise. If you want to escape from them, if you somehow want to get rid of them, then the problem arises – because if you want to get rid of something, you never look at it directly. And then the thing starts hiding from you because you are condemnatory; then the thing goes on moving deeper into the unconscious, hides in the darkest corner of your being where you cannot find it. It moves into the basement of your being and hides there. And of course the deeper it goes, the more trouble it creates – because then it starts functioning from unknown corners of your being and you are completely helpless.

So the first thing is: never repress. The first thing is: whatsoever is the case is the case. Accept it and let it come – let it come in front of you. In fact just to say “do not repress” is not enough. If you allow me, I would like to say, “Befriend it.”

You are feeling sad? Befriend it, have compassion for it. Sadness also has a being. Allow it, embrace it, sit with it, hold hands with it. Be friendly. Be in love with it. Sadness is beautiful! Nothing is wrong with it. Who told you that something is wrong in being sad? In fact only sadness gives you depth. Laughter is shallow; happiness is skin-deep. Sadness goes to the very bones, to the marrow. Nothing goes as deep as sadness.

So don’t be worried. Remain with it and sadness will take you to your innermost core. You can ride on it and you will be able to know a few new things about your being that you had never known before. Those things can be revealed only in a sad state, they can never be revealed in a happy state. Darkness is also good and darkness is also divine. The day is not only existence’s, the night is also. I call this attitude religious....

A person who can be patiently sad will suddenly find that one morning a happiness is arising in his heart from some unknown source. That unknown source is godliness. You have earned it if you have been truly sad; if you have been truly hopeless, desperate, unhappy, miserable, if you have lived in hell, you have earned heaven. You have paid the cost....

Confront life. Encounter life. Difficult moments will be there, but one day you will see that those difficult moments gave you strength because you encountered them. They were meant to be. Those difficult moments are hard when you are passing through them, but later on you will see they have made you more integrated. Without them you would never have been centered, grounded.

The old religions all over the world have been repressive; the new religion of the future is going to be expressive. And I teach that new religion…let expression be one of the most fundamental rules of your life. Even if you have to suffer for it, suffer. You will never be a loser. That suffering will make you more and more capable of enjoying life, of rejoicing in life.

Wishing you the Most and More ....ALWAYS.

May GOD bless you and bring a lot of Love Peace and Happiness to you. May you ALWAYS get what you strive for and May HE guide you to your greatness. Your Goal Your Aim. I am sure you will reach it. All the Best GodDaughter!!!

Your and Always Yours,

Your Loving Uncle A.

Happy Raksha Bandhan GodDaughter !!!!

On this auspicious day as you tie the "Rakhi" to your lovely brothers take a deep breath while doing so...  Pray to the Lord that He would keep the love between you growing over the years... 

Also take a moment and remember all the beautiful moments that you have spent together and fill the many more lovely moments to come. 

Promise them that you will always be around for them though I have no doubt on this. 

And equally I have no doubt that they would be always around you and shower the love reserved for special people like you.

All the best to you my GodDaughter the chosen one.  :-):-):-).

With lots and lots of love and wishes.

Yours and always yours. 

Your loving GodFather

Hi GodDaughter!!!

Just thought that since you would be in the midst of nature, sending you this article from my Favourite Author.

I hope you love the experience and share the findings so that I too can learn from your experience ;-)

Just sit under a tree. The breeze is blowing and the leaves of the tree are rustling. The wind touches you, it moves around you, it passes. But don’t allow it just to pass you; allow it to move within you and pass through you. Just close your eyes, and as it is passing through the tree and there is a rustling of the leaves, feel that you are also like a tree, open, and the wind is blowing through you ― not by your side but right through you.

The rustling of the tree will enter in you, and you will feel that from every pore of your body the air is passing. It is really passing through you. It is not only imagination, it is a fact ― you have forgotten. You are not only breathing through the nose, you are breathing through the whole body ― from every pore of it, from millions of pores. If you are allowed to breathe through your nose, but all the pores of your body are closed, painted, you will die within three hours. You cannot be alive just by breathing through the nose. Every cell of your body is a living organism, and every cell is breathing. The air is really passing through you, but you have lost the contact. So sit under a tree and feel.

In the beginning it will look like imagination, but soon it will turn into a reality. It is a reality ― that the air is passing through you. Then sit under a rising sun, and not only feel that the rays of the sun are touching you, but that they are entering you and passing through you, so you become vulnerable, you begin to feel open.

The ego is the barrier. When you feel you are, you are so much that nothing can enter in you. You are filled with your own self. When you are not, then everything can pass through you. You have become so vast that even the divine can pass through you. The whole existence is now ready to pass through you, because you are ready. So the whole art of religion is how not to be, how to dissolve, how to surrender, how to become an open space.

Wishing you the Most and More in Life. ALWAYS....

HAPPY HOLIDAYS:)

Yours and always yours in Love and Gratitude.

Your Uncle A J J J

Dear GodDaughter,

Now as you have started embracing the professional life with open hands, I would like to cite another piece of information which I think we need to start imbibing in ourselves.

I am sure there are surroundings which matter. They can either be good or bad. Let us acknowledge the good and be grateful to the universe.

Let us also take the irritants into stride and be aware, that is also because of these irritants that we are learning and challenging ourselves. It is that urge to prove that what I have on my mind is correct that takes the best out of us.

We only need to be careful here is that - it is the urge to prove and convince ourselves that we are right -should be the attitude. Not to prove someone wrong. We need to be open to the other view point too. Because there is no one single way of looking at things. And by acknowledging the other view point, we are only expanding our horizons, our knowledge & our thinking.

And while looking at the other perspective, if we see that there is merit in it, let us be graceful in accepting the same. Again, here we need to remember that the acceptance is only doing good to us. I say this since I have experienced it myself. Just since I had made a point, I have been adamant and tried to defend the same. Only when I was brooding on the same at a later stage is when I have realized that  yes, the other perspective does have merit. And if I do not go back and acknowledge, I am not sure what the other person feels, but I always carry the guilt feeling. Hence, as soon as I acknowledge the perspective, I am more open to the other angle and I feel relieved.

And let us accept most things are nor Black nor white. They are most of the times Gray. Hence if the other person does have a different view, it is not entirely wrong.

This is easier to accept when we are talking of independent incidents. It starts getting complicated once it is related to us personally. If it is related to the way the other person talks about me, how he / she interprets my views, my work, my behavior, it becomes all the more tricky. Because here my EGO comes in picture. And we are highly egoistic people. It hurts us. But we need to learn here is that it is perception that I have made about myself which is making the other person fell what he/ she is feeling. I agree or do not agree does not matter.

Does the perception or the view really matter, if it does not, well and good, I simply ignore. But if does, I need to work on this. What I have on my hand is, if I do not like the views, let me look back and see what has caused this perception. Can I explain, talk out or change my ways a little to ensure that for people who matter are not carrying a wrong impression. And there would still be a few impressions / perceptions that I may not be able to change. Let me be brave enough and carry enough conviction to stand by my convictions. But we need to really be sure on this and we have to ensure that we have given our bestest shot to talk over this.

I just hope what I have written here does make sense.

I am super excited that you have started enjoying your work and am sincerely waiting to see MY GodDaughter using the best of her potential and I am sure she will because as I always say....

It is only for MY GodDaughter to decide, the rest of the things just fall in place. And when she uses even a little of her skills and potential if she can make a huge difference, I just cannot imagine the WORLD of difference that your changed attitude would bring. JJJ

Wishing you the Most and More.... ALWAYS.

GodFather
