SPIRITUAL ANTIDOTES  આધ્યાત્મ ની કેડીએ


We all have passed and are still passing through various difficulties in the journey of our lives. We all have experienced the brunt, aftermath and consequences of such problems and difficulties of life. When we pass through hard times, the first question that occurs in our minds is “why me?” 

If we flip the pages of history we can find that we are not alone who have to go through recurring phases of ups and downs during our life. Sages, saints, and all hose highly evolved souls have gone through more difficult stanzas of their lives. Some very prominent and well known among them are Meerabai, Narsinh Mehta, Kabir, Rahim, Poet Akhoare just a few of them. 

Since long, we have been compromising the basic values of life, and have been selectively interpreting them or sometimes even completely ignoring them rather than incorporating them honestly in our routine life. 

Most of us, very sincerely are seeking the path of ‘Moksha’ or liberation from the ‘never ending chain’ of birth and death. We truly desire to rise above the hotchpotch and noises of daily life and to find inner peace. Yet we find ourselves unable to quiet down the noises continuously arising in our minds. We very much desire to follow the path of spirituality but our demands of materialistic gains, luxuries of life, greed, attachment, never-ending desires, jealousy and anger keep on pulling us back. The ever rising layers of impurities, ‘agnaan’ (अज्ञान), birth after birth have completely overshadowed the purity and transparency of our soul. 

We therefore need consistent spiritual nutrition that can keep rinsing our disillusioned soul and keep feeding it with righteous, balanced, virtuous, meaningful and ethical nutrients. If we sincerely desire to purify our minds and thoughts, the Universe is offering countless sources around us. Words spoken by the sages, Scriptures, discourses offered by authentic gurus on Bhagvad Gita, Vedanta, Ramayan, Upanishads, Bible, Kuran-E-Sharif, Granth Sahib, or even some valuable messages read in Books on Yoga, Self-Development, collectively can build a pathway for our Spiritual evolution. Such messages can come in the form of listening, or reading a few lines or paragraphs written by or uttered by some sages or anyone that may have risen from one’s inner voice. 

The author, through www.Hriday-Sparsh.com, likes to take you on a short journey of this spiritual pathway: ‘Spiritual Antidotes’, or ‘આધ્યાત્મની કેડીએ’. Let us embark on this journey that can help to know our own selves in a better light and then can look at the world with an enlightened sight.


The Never-ending Roads of Life

Sep 27, 2023 03:50 PM, Harish Panchal 'Hriday'

Where do these endless roads of life lead us?

Since ages, we have kept walking as our souls put us on the earth.

On this journey, we passed countless cross-roads that had no signs.

We met, smiled, departed and forgotten countless people

Every birth, we all, kept on changing bodies, names, and addresses.

Yet in this birth we seem strangers to all those whom we pass by.

Our parents in this birth may have met us in previous lives too.

But in up-coming births we may meet again like strangers.

PRAYERS FOR A PROSPEROUS, PEACEFUL 2023

Dec 23, 2022 11:53 AM, Harish Panchal ‘Hriday’

The pandemic has left a scary scar on the motherboard of millions in mankind.

We ‘had it’ and are now ready to claim our birth-right to feel an ‘inner happiness’.

Because ‘Sat-Chit-Aanand’ (Existence, Consciousness and Bliss)

Are the fundamental natural characteristics of Atman, which is the Soul!

So now let us come closer, One and All, from all walks of life,

Walk hand-in-hand and heart to heart to offer ‘out loud’ in silent voice of our hearts

Unexperienced state of Conscousness in Body-less Souls

May 26, 2022 09:35 PM, Harish Panchal 'hriday'

Souls don’t speak. Even if they do, we can’t listen. Even if the listening process does work, that conversation may be occurring internally between the soul and our intellectual department in the brain, since there is no sound that falls into our ears. But the title of this article deals with only an experience which has been untold, unsung and un-listened.  God does not want to reveal to the mankind His hidden ways of managing, sending and calling back souls from His abode to the Earth and vice versa.

Why Me ?

May 17, 2021 04:29 PM, Harish Panchal ('hriday')

This is somewhat like a universal question, which might have occurred to countless people over the world, countless times. Whenever people undergo difficult times in their lives, and hardships keep knocking at their doors, the first question that hits their minds is “Why Me?” This question hits them with a noticeable impact of anger.  In many cases the depth of anger is so overwhelming that they fail to keep calm and start complaining to people around them that “why all bad things are happening to me only?” Some even add a few more words to that question like, “Why does it have to be me only?” while ‘broadcasting’ their anger to a much larger audience.

I  AM  LOST  AND  I  TALKED  TO  GOD

Aug 24, 2020 11:44 PM, Harish Panchal ('hriday')

And “where am I?”  Perhaps, lost in the mid seas, with no directions.

I have been sailing in rough seas and high winds in my wrecked up ship.

My navigator left me years ago. She had to go and she left. I could not detain her.

I wish, she could have stayed back for me, so two souls could have left this world together.

Life,  God  and  Friends

Oct 07, 2019 08:53 PM, Harish Panchal

God, there is a reason why I am here.

There are others too, older and wiser.

 

And there is a reason why you sent them here,

To teach me I need to grow and have a long way to go.

On The Ecstatic Journey

Oct 06, 2019 10:35 PM, Harish Panchal

While walking the journey of our life many of us might have experienced that circumstances beyond our control sometimes force us to deal with or take favor from the very people whom we might have caused some harm to or insulted or harassed for whatever reasons.  The never-failing  Law of Karma has its own way to teach us lessons of our actions.
