the journey from 20 to 30

The journey from 20 to 30…

Salona Surjoo Motivation Life, love yourself

So today, 23 July 2018 marks exactly two months to my thirtieth birthday. And I felt the need to blog about my journey from the ever loving twenties to the thirties. What is the difference between the various decades in life and how does that change you as a person?

Well firstly, it isn’t the end of life. As a contrary belief to most teens and people in their early twenties, turning 30 is really not that big of a deal or ‘bad’ in any way! Regardless of whether or not you have graduated, got your dream job or got married by then, or even earned that sum of money that you always wanted, it is all just part of life. And definitely not something to be wasted.

No offense to anyone in their 30’s or older, but when I was younger I felt that turning 30 and older did meant the end of your fun years, youth and free spirit. And so, when planning out my life goals, wishes and desires, well, I just didn’t plan anything over 30. Yeah that was rather dumb of me, but on the other hand, it also means that at present I am literally going with the flow. No hard core plans, no deadlines of when and how I want things to happen, nothing. And you know what, it feels good!

What I have learnt over the past 10 years?

Life does always happens as planned. Heck mine hasn’t happened as planned at all. But slowly and with effort, consistency and passion, I did live some of my dreams and it felt great!

Learn to get up, every time. There are many things that happen which might make us feel hurt, sad or just down right depressed. Life might not work out the way we wanted it to and we might feel like everything is just crushing down. But regardless of what happened, learn to get up. Try again. Don’t be that person in your last days of life, battling sickness, or poverty only wishing what you could have done in the time and days that you had. Be that person who gets up, and tries again. Try until it works out. Try until you get it right. Try now!

Each decade of our lives is special and unique. Each decade will bring to us unique experiences, happiness and sorrow, which we might not face in the previous or next decade. So, cherish each decade, each year, month, week and day that passes you by. For those experiences might not come again.

For example, in my earlier twenties I was faced with a lot of financial issues. No matter how much I tried to work harder in my field of work, or look for jobs that will treat me well, I was just not financially okay. But that doesn’t mean that I will continue to be faced with those issues throughout my life. That is, if I grow from that experience, and become a better person from it. How the heck does one do that? Well, for me personally, I realised that no matter how hard I tried, financial issues were still present and a job was not the answer. So, I turned to the next best step and that was to open my own business. And of course with that comes a new ball game, but at least it is worth it.

Don’t carry issues from one decade to the next. Okay so actually I mean don’t carry issues from one day to the next. It is always good to solve issues as soon as possible. But for those who experience a certain issue through a certain phase in their life, try to deal with it and let go as life goes on. But think about it, things which might have felt like a huge problem in our teens, might have felt like a by the way thing in our twenties. Things which we have had issues with in our twenties, (like financial stability or maturity) might not be such a big issue to people in their thirties. I am not saying that life miraculously changes as the decades go by, but our approach to things do change and that makes all the difference!

Some years ago, people in their twenties were married, earning well and already built families. By 30, their kids where already pre-teens and by 40’s their kids where in high school, and in their 50’s there where sending their kids to university while looking at the occasional overseas trips and wanting grandkids! Life is oh so not like that anymore. Life simply does not happen that way anymore and people in their 20’s are still battling to find their feet, let alone be financially secure or are able to get married.

So, all what I have learnt so far and of course I am still learning and wanted to share with you, is to treasure each moment, each experience (good and bad), learn from it and carry on. Life doesn’t end when a certain decade ends or when the body feels weak or hair starts to grey. It only ends when we give up the will to live, to love and to try again.

Beautiful snippet from The Power of Purity book 📖 page 219 to 220 on the limitations of our conscious mind. 😊

#ConsciousMind
Gurus Hand

Sometimes the road ends and there’s no where else to go. Your choices are to either pause your journey, fall of the cliff Or trust in your ability to fly and try. 
Humans often only focus on the possibility and the consequences of the fall. Their eye is on the bottom. Completely missing out on the fact that Gurus (invisible) hand is beneath them. 
You don’t “have” to fly. But you can. And you will never fall. How can you? When Gurus hand is holding you. Allowing you to fly and also allowing you to think you are flying all by yourself. 
Would you have attempted to fly had the road not ended? You would have probably continued to walk. But walk to where? Maybe the path you were on would not have taken you to where you wanted to be. So the “end of the road” was an illusion. An attempt to push you to fly. To realised that you are not alone. And that Gurus hand is always with you. Holding you. Protecting you. And making sure you never fall. 
Salutations to Guru Mohanji 🧚‍♀️🙏 #Mohanji #Love #Blessing #Guru #Faith #Shiva
The secret of serving without attachment is to expect that those who you serve may become totally thankless in the future. But help anyway. Your purity of intention, as well as zero expectations, will keep the act of service extremely pure and unconditional. This is in the case of human beings. All other beings will always remain thankful. More expectations, more disappointments. No expectations, no disappointments. Do not expect Gratitude and you will be free.

Gems from the Master 🧚‍♀️ Life becomes meaningful when you are consciously aware that each breath is Guru Himself. The life force keeping you alive, the very prana within each breath. 
How then can we “waste” the breath by wasting time? How can we be inactive and allow ourselves to be entertained by mere human pleasures when there is so much work that can be done to serve this world? 
Also, knowing that Guru is our very breath, How then, can we feel separation? As Mohanji says, seperation is only in the mind. 
Love You Father

Gems from the Master 🌺
Be clear. You are not the doer. You are not at all the doer of anything. You may be “doing” some action towards a certain goal, but He is the force beneath you, carrying you, making sure you are well taken care of. 
With that knowledge, move ahead fearlessly, KNOWING that you are fully supported and loved. 
Thank you Father 🥰

Love You

Gems from the Master 🧚‍♀️
The Master teaches Selflessness in everything we do. 
Be Selfless in all thoughts. In all actions. In all words you speak. 
How can we really be selfless? 
When ego is controlled. When “i factor” is reduced. When every thought, word and action is based on the benefit of the world and ALL BEINGS. 
Thank you Father 🤗

Love you
Maheshwari 🔱

SHIVA does not reveals Himself to such ignorants who do not know and understand HIS unborn, eternal, and transcendental form and personality

Therefore staunch devotees of SHIVA strive for freedom from the cycles of birth, old age, and death, by taking refuge in SHIVA who fully comprehends the true nature and powers of the Supreme.

That steadfast person, who knows SHIVA alone as the basis of all the mortal beings, Temporal Beings, and the Eternal Being even at the time of death, merges in SHIVA.! So do not miss the golden opportunity this life gives you for God-realisation. Let each day dawn for you as a fresh opportunity and occasion, opening up before you to move one step further towards the great attainment of God-realisation.

Identify yourself with the pure, immortal Atma, the non-dual Brahman.

Wake up. Precious is human birth. It is given to you to do rigorous yoga-abhyasa (practice of Yoga) and to attain the supreme goal of God-realisation. Awaken the soul-force in you. You can work wonders.

Recognise that you are the living Truth. Realise that you are always inseparable from the one Essence that is the substratum of all these names and forms, these false shadowy appearances. Get yourself firmly established in that Brahman, the Light of lights.

Stand up, Enjoy the Bliss of Atman, the soul. The river of joy is flowing all around. There is deluge of the Bliss of Self. Drink the nectar to your heart's content. 🙏🏻🌀👁🌀🙏🏻 SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM 💙🌀👁🌀💙 #Shiva #aumnamahshivaya #shiv #aum
In the path of liberation, all you have to focus on, is that the inside space is clean. 
You choose what you should consume. Which emotion should be entertained, which knowledge we should entertain, which Guru should we be connected to. This is all your choice. 
Then moment you are clear that you will not consume anything which is not helping you in your dissolution, that is fine, that is it. Because you are your own creator. -Mohanji

There are no two masters. Consciousness is one, so there is one master but in many forms. What you should connect to is the master you feel connected to. There is nothing you will gain by changing the master. Because it would be just another form since it is the same story, the same consciousness. So if you just connect to the master you feel deeply connected to, and consider that person as all masters, then all masters will help you.

The entry card that gets you support of all masters, is the respect you have for one master: your own master. That is what is told by all great scriptures. They say to just stay put, and every master will come and help you. In other words, to have a steady connection to one person – this is the secret. It is the mind that takes you to different masters, that thinks that the other one is better, or that I can get more from many people – it’s not true.

There are two things in life: intensity and intention. Sankalpa or intention should be strong. We do sankalpa before a havan and puja: I am doing this puja for myself/ my family/particular person so that they are protected. The priest takes the name, gotra and all that, and then they do the chants and puja. Sankalpa should be clear for whatever action you take. Then intensity or single pointed concentration. The answers will come, and I’m sure you have experienced it. But the thing is you don’t have to pray to different gurus because they have different forms. All gurus are one. You connect deeply to your guru – everybody will come and help you. So there is no need to change anything and I will never recommend that also. Because what will you change? Only the forms right?  After that what will you do? ~ Mohanji

When i was a little girl, before i read the story of NeelKantha, i used to look at a similar picture and thought Lord Shiva is thirsty 🤠 
But then when i read the story, I cried wondering how uncomfortable it must be for the Lord to carry poison in His throat 😢 
To date, i still cry when I think of how demanding humans can be, ready to blame Him for all their problems, yet remain in complete ignorance of His blessings. 
The story of Neelkantha is one of complete, unmatched compassion! The Lord is willing to almost kill Himself (figuratively) for the benefit of everyone. Not bothering about who loves Him and who does not, not sidelining anyone who spoke bad about Him or only blessings those who have extreme bhakti. No, He took it upon Himself to take in that poison for the benefit of everyone. 
Such is His grace! 
To me Mohanji is our very own Neelkantha, the epitome of compassion 🙏🙏🙏 Love you Father! 
Maheshwari 🤗

Overemphasis on religion is dangerous for mankind. Religious ideologies have killed more humans than epidemics. Religions are for people not people for religions. Humanity and humility should be the benchmark for the generations henceforth. Religions should not rule over, let alone overrule humanity.

Worry can only happen if one does not understand that it is the Master, Guru or God who is the one carrying us. 
When you see yourself as a little baby, carried by Shiva, completely taken care of, then where is the need for worry? 
Have you ever seen a worried baby if its Mother or Father is present? 😃

Imagine you are Shivas prince/princess, (baby) and He is playfully carrying you on His shoulder, is there any need for worry or fears? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Let all worries melt in the knowledge that He is the one taking care of you. Always. 🤱🏼 He is the One providing Abundant Love, then why fear loneliness?

He is the One providing energy and wellness to each cell of your body, then why fear ill health? 
He is the One providing every means for you to continue this existence on earth, then why worry finances? 
Love You Papa ❤️
Love You Mohanji 🧚‍♀️ Love

Gems from the Master 💎

A true Master loves all beings unconditionally. He has no favorites. 
No being is more or less dear to Him just as how the sun does not choose who to provide warmth on or not. The sun openly provides warmth to all alike. It is our choice if we want to feel that warmth or stay indoor with closed doors and windows. 🤔

If we choose to spend more time with the Master, in His physical presence or just by constant awareness of His teachings, it does not mean that we are more or less dear to Him. 🤠

He loves you. Unconditionally. Remember that 😘

Love you
Maheshwari
