Bliss Attracts Fortune🔗

I tell you, bliss attracts fortune. It may seem illogical at first, but it is the truth. You may wonder, 'I can understand fortune can bring us bliss. But how can bliss bring us fortune?'

In Bharat, when any new thing is started, be it a business or a construction or something to do with education, the first thing that we do is, sit down for a few moments, close our eyes and be in a meditative mood. We try to bring about some kind of an energy play or transformation inside us. Of course, over the years, this has become a prayer and a ritual; that is a different issue. But the first thing that we try to do is, sit down and try to kindle the energy flow in us.

When the energy flow in us becomes fulfilling, it has the property of influencing the outer world incidents. We saw how our thoughts and emotions can simply radiate and influence even a glass of water. Our thoughts affect plants, animals and every single element of Existence.

Whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, like it or not, want it or not, you are deeply connected to Existence. You are an integral part of Existence, not an independent island as you think. Every subtle movement or subtle thought in one part of the universe causes a counter-effect at that same moment elsewhere in the universe. Our thoughts have the capacity to affect the seas. Be very clear, all the so-called natural calamities are nothing but the effects of global negative thoughts.

From a young age, we have been trained in 'the logic of mathematics and science', never in 'the logic of Existence'. Mathematics logic is very straightforward and should be applied only to things where it is appropriate. In matters concerning life and relationships, mathematics logic will cause only chaos. With it, we will always look to conclude with a 'good' or 'bad' judgment. There is something beyond and deeper than this and that is Existential logic.

Your thoughts and energy directly affect your body, your cell structure, your decisions, your capacity to fulfill your decisions, the outer world incidents, even accidents. When you are centered in greed and fear, every action that you do is out of either desire or fear. It becomes very easy for others to exploit you because of this; you become very vulnerable. You create a mental setup that creates and attracts similar incidents to you. If you are filled with sympathy and self-pity, suddenly you start attracting people who abuse and disrespect you.

If instead your mental setup is one of bliss, then your energy flow will start brimming and your thoughts will be much clearer and more in the present. When you do this, you have every power to control the outer world incidents because you and Existence have a very deep connection at the energy level. This is the thread that you need to catch in order to understand that bliss attracts fortune. When you are blissful, when your mental setup is not one of worry, fear and greed but one that is in the present, always joyful, you will automatically attract all good things to yourself.

When you start seeking the truth directly, not through any object, suddenly you release a tremendous energy.

Please understand, I am telling you the straight simple truth. When you start seeking the truth directly, suddenly you are awakened to a new consciousness and energy.

I am not saying after enlightenment, these objects will be attracted towards you. I am saying even in your seeking, if you are seeking fulfillment directly, the energy which is released in your system, the awakening which happens in your system, attracts all auspiciousness and all the objects behind which you were running. It attracts everything towards you.

Seeking Transforms Your Consciousness

What you are seeking in your life directly plays a role in your consciousness. If the object of your seeking is deepened, your very consciousness changes. When you are clear about your seeking, goal, your personality becomes deep. Anything you see or experience becomes deep. In my experience, seeking transforms the seeker.

You may think, now it looks little paradoxical. Please understand, when you start working towards fulfillment, you raise yourself to a different frequency.

Let me describe this seeking.

Sometimes, early morning, you will be out of your sleep, out of your dream. But you wouldn't have been completely awakened. You will try to move your body but you won't be able to move your body. How many of you have felt that experience at least once?

In that gap, how suffocated you feel that you have to enter the body and possess the body, take control of your body! That moment only when people are not able to describe what was going on, they start saying, 'A ghost was sitting on my chest, I was being possessed.' No ghost possesses you; relax!

I want you to understand an important truth, ghosts are actually less powerful than you. They are actually afraid of you. When you are little frightened of them, then they start ruling you, that's all. These are nothing but extensions of your subconscious beliefs. They are your own suppressed fantasies coming out.

Please understand this suffocation when you feel as if a ghost has possessed you. You are out of your dream state but you have not completely entered the waking state. Either you are in the dream state and you are comfortable. Or if you are completely in the waking state, you are comfortable, just doing what you want. In between, you are neither here nor there.

You feel a strong suffocation. That suffocation actually makes you wake up, and you jump to the waking state. In the same way, when you are not comfortable with this waking state, you feel the suffocation and you wake up to the samadhi state. That is what I call seeking.

See, you have experienced the border between dream and waking state. The border between the waking state and the superconscious or enlightenment state is what I call seeking. See when you are out of dream, before entering into the waking state how you feel you have to wake up, that same pressure if you feel to wake up from this dream, you will wake up. That is what I call seeking.
