!! Mind your "P" Manners !!

If you have a Purpose to do or achieve something ;

first find a Principle to act upon ;

once you have the principle ,

lay the guidelines of Planning around it ; 

once the planning is ready , 

it is time to Practice and put it into action ;

while you practice , 

maintain the Preserverence and remain Positive ;

have Patience and act with Pride in what you are doing ;

While you are doing all these , 

you realize your Lesson of Preparation is learnt for Life 

for everything you are going to do !

So next time you venture , Mind your P's !!

The "P" manners may sound a very good strategy in personal and professional life out there in this world but the same kind of Preparation 

is required for the Spiritual Quest in your Life. 

For that is the Sole Purpose of all human births.The Preparation for the inner journey is no different.The Mind is impressed by The Ripples of desires & so also you if you are enslaved by The Mind !

It is all about acceptance of One Principle in your Life.

The Principle that tops all and everyone's List 

knowingly or unknowingly is "Knowing Thy Self !"

Once we have the purpose in place, life has to follow a distinct pattern of all "Ps" to achieve the goal of life times.for many a souls depart without knowing the purpose of life even.And the real culprit for the sorry state of affairs of soul realization is the Slavery of Senses under the Mind's Rule.

In the beginning of spiritual quest,a lot of Planning has to go into how you can develop your concentration.Meditation comes much later.
Concentration is basically reining in the mind 

which controls the five senses.

The Senses do not Know How to Behave themselves in their Natural Role !

They remain engrossed in The Outer World due to Mind 

which Makes everything looks Desirable & To be Sought after !

Once The Senses come to their senses 

You Begin to See The Light Within ! 

The senses comes to their Natural State 

when you deprive them of what the mind is making them crave.

If the Mind wants you rest and get up late ,
you have to break the ritual of getting up late in the morning.
This is A Very Good Beginning for it adds "Time" to your day of 86400 moments.
The Getting Up before The Sun Rise
is the first victory of the Body as a whole over Mind.
As you sit there quietly on the fixed place during the specified timings ,
the reining in of the mind begins.
The ritual of meditation upon the God you believe
in the early ambrosial hours is the First Step of Planning you have to Put into Practice till you can get up in the morning
at the specified time without the alarm going off.
Your body clock will get attuned to the waking up like you feel hungry
at a particular times of the day.

The nature is at its calmest before sunrise.
Even the collective wave lengths of the minds at unrest is at its lowest
due to sleeping and dreaming going on around you.

The Birds are yet to chirp 

and the Dogs have yet to bark 

as on the Inner Journey you embark !

Go there in your Within without any Expectations .
That is very significant and important in spiritual quest
for you are dealing with the infinite
to have a feeling of Being Infinite
and you just cannot finite your experience by asking God.It
is your Mind's Discipline that sows the seeds of the thirst
to Know Him through the Process of Knowing Your Self !

Persistence and Patience are the Keys to Spiritual Growth
that attracts the Showering of His Grace
to open the Gates to The Kingdom of His World.

Along side this morning ritual of course it is of paramount importance to schedule your way of life in such a way that the senses do not fall prey to Greed.

Anything you acquire and do beyond the required
due or needs is greed and it applies to all the Five Senses.

The taste buds,the art of speech and silence , the listening and hearing, the cravings to see the undesired desires,the lust of touch overpower your awareness of your own breath and your true being.As you devote your life in a disciplined way as a True Seeker following the Principles of Continence, the Mind falls in Line to become pure to fathom the Purest One and the Body, Heart and Soul align themselves. 

Once aligned, the awakening begins.

Once awakened, enlightenment  comes. 

Once enlightened, it is all bliss.

The Bliss is all Him and less and less of "I".

Like your Lighted Room ,
The Cave is All Lighted Within when the Mind Caves Within to Surrender to Him !

As the surrender completes ,you begin to Realize 

that the Body is His Living Temple with Supreme Soul Within.

Now The Mind is Ripples Free , The Stones of Desire thrown by Maya 

no longer affect you & you are able to keep the Mind Reined In His Direction 

with the Help of Other senses who know their Role !

We believe in the easy way
and look for wonder drugs and remedies 

for enlightenment without curing The Mind.

Once you are focused , mind also helps in zeroing in on your dreams.

And there is no greater friend like a mind
that has been made strongest positive possible by obliterating the ego.
The mind without ego is a seat of Faith in Him and
believes only in prayers only after putting in one's best efforts.

Once you have the positive attitude and given your best , 

it is prayer to Him and His Grace 

that gives you miraculous results
which are more than your expectations.
