All duality is manmade, material and created. The unity on the other hand is omnipresent with its oneness which permeates entire universe and the infinity. To realize this is a movement from imperfection to perfection. The infinite oneness is a secret of life and at the same time a source of greatness in the world. The non divisible and eternal is pivot of creation, it is called “whole in the ancient literature of India, which always remains and is a sum total of subjective and objective reality.
It is greed, which separates us from the rest of the world, love at the contrary connects us to everything which ultimately co-operates us or think positive for us in this cosmos. Our conduct is outer exhibition, a passing posture of the long drama called life. It gives a sense of separation, difference and distinction; but all this has no value. What is important is our inner thing. Art and poetry emanate from our inner faculty. Poetry and good literature are sacrifices of self and conduct a process of self cleansing. Every art is a deep dive and a kind of meditation to certain extent.
Generally people think life is a pursuit, an art of getting what we like, but it is not true. In fact it is a process of learning to appreciate the differences and variety of the creation and liking what is around us and what we have actually got. Unity is the only creed of life because life functions in organic connectivity. All the differentiations are manmade and manipulated by generations, whether it is social or geographical. We extend various type of unquestioned devotion to different concepts of the world and fail to realize that all this is manmade and tailored to their greed and requirements, which is not going to last in a larger span. In fact all this is perpetual food to their ego and our ego. It is inhuman to create a culture which does not reduce the ego of people. Dissolution of all these differences and fractions is possible only by larger hearts and smaller minds. We have to come out of the cell of our own making, widen our hearts and rise in love.

On Prayer :
God never leaves us, isolate us or ignore us. Thinking is a proof of awareness and presence of God. Focusing on him we plug into power of God. One can pray, talk to him and make him friend. Prayer is an act of communication. He is always pleased to show us the way in our life . One should always try to reach him with reverence and gratitude. Dancing, singing , art and literature, all are forms of prayer. Intensity of prayer increases humbleness and our own terms are lost with surrender and falling of self takes place, which leads to amazing process of progress. It practically makes us bigger, better and bolder . Prayer gradually links us with reservoir of energy, the real spinner of this world.
Prayer is ultimate integration of our faculties and gradually it takes us to meditation. Prayer is an act of being one with object and this oneness with source goes to inundate you profoundly for a real metamorphosis. One who prays can never afford to think evil , hurt or harm others. Real prayer helps to abandon pride, hypocrisy and severity; it also repels lust, greed and anger. Prayer purifies mind in which knowledge is revealed, it gradually cuts ego and burns our actions which avoid rebirth and suffering.
Prayer allows us to step out of time, dimension and gradually shut the mind, because it is a process to listen not a system to judge and condemn. Prayer provides great deal of security which avoids every craving in due course of time; it also makes us humble and pave the path of selflessness. Prayer gradually makes us mindful and conscious of our surroundings, it makes consciousness to be felt and perceived everywhere in every act as well as silence. Our noblest thought is prayer which gradually purifies our soul and takes us towards wellness.

Abode of God
God is a verb, he is not only the creator but also an ongoing unfolding of creation itself. Nothing can be out of this unified unfolding. In fact nothing is separate from God not even the path of seeker which is also its integral part. All the religions of the world are mere beliefs of the cosmic spirit. The dogmatic parts of religion are made up of rituals, rules and regulations. The spiritual part of religion elevates and feed the soul and simultaneously accepts goodness of all the religions. The one divinity practically is a call for equity, equality, justice and liberty. Every religion has to get rid of rituals, rites and cults to purify it.
We only manage our pain and pleasure throughout our life. We always try to avoid pain and seek pleasure pursuing every act and factors related to it. This makes us selfish and immoral. We try to achieve power to do all this and hold the fear of others, as well as exhibit it whenever required. All this is futile because it takes us no where, like paddling a boat tied on the bank of a river. God is not privilege of a particular religion, community or individual; nor he is limited to any installation, be it a temple or a church. God is smallest particle, basis of all names and forms; one who illuminates intellect and all knowledge lies within time. Our passionate, conscious and egoless participation in the life process of the world is key to this problem. If there is God we must attribute to him infinite awareness and creativity. This is crux of wellness in this universe.
The study of work of creator is noblest employment of mind because every aspect of delight of nature is proof of God and cause of adoration as well as devotion. There is one nature and there is but one God; the author and creator of the world. The almighty and eternal; the supreme, wisest and beneficent, to whom all worship and praise belongs. The providence of God is exhibited in overall works and he directs with infinite wisdom. The thinking of our heart is naked before him and he knows our determination even before they rise.
Let prudence admonish you, temperance restrain you , justice guide you, benevolence warm your heart and gratitude inspire you with devotion. It will make you happy in the present state and take you to eternal felicity, the abode of ultimate wellness.

Conscience
Conscience is an unbiased witness. It is a lamp in the heart, it raises opposition and voice if you think something contrary to righteousness. One can never afford to be deaf to this voice, insensitive to its pricks and callous to its criticism. Corruption of every type is assault on conscience. We can’t pretend all the time, impression of the subconscious mind and their forces work very thoroughly and change nature of every atom of the doer.
While we change our attitude substantially, our nature, identity of some core deep within us, is not changed at all. These deepest principles and the matrix, the subconscious, are changeless. Our names can change, all cells of our body can change but a certain core remains as such. That is simply the consciousness, the self, one who has picked this body from earth. Consciousness is monarch of our body and frame and its subjects should not be teased to rebel against it. Nose is path of perfumes and mouth is path of delicacies but, perfumes long smelt become offensive and delicacies destroy the appetite they flatter. Understanding thoroughly we come to know that reason and will are not consciousness, they are actions of it and not its essence. The end of all human search is truth; means to discover it are reason and experience; which are mostly weak and uncertain. General opinion is also not a proof of truth, as generality is ignorant. Our own perception and knowledge of creator are plain before our faces to motivate us every moment for worship. Nothing more is needed to be known. Adoration to eternal consciousness which not only preexists and survives the body but also guide us on every occasion of addressing for right decision making is the only way-out.

Real and Unreal
Life is a ceaseless enquiry into the how, why, when, where, what and who of existence. All the knowledge of the world giving functional utility has no real importance for existence. Consciousness is real player of this world but it has no expression except when it plays with matter. All the creatures in the world are souls with body and not bodies with soul in them. It is said that consciousness is non-physical, yet it is behind every activity and life. Everything eminates from it and all cease as lamp without fuel without the consciousness.
Unreal in the world is created but the real is always there and can only be discovered and invented. If there is sensual desire for pleasure, cause of bondage and impurity is there. Satisfaction of sensual desire leaves fear of diseases, satisfaction of pride leaves fear of humiliation and similarly beauty has fear of decay. This never allows pure action and goodness to come in. If this desire is wiped out, pure action comes in and is automatically practiced. First phase is to limit the desires with humility and second is to make the contentment more important to soul in comparison to grandeur and material wealth.
Life is not sustained by desire but by destiny. Our self remains the same whether the desires are satisfied or not. Desire when strong defeats its own pursuits and blindness of its rage rushes upon destruction. Desire kills fountain of health and exhausts every spring of joy. Sun should not decline in the morning. It is said that one can satiate the desires and renounce them. It can be beyond control to satiate desires but since we usually do what is not doable and really required, it can be managed. We can stop it gradually removing attention and de-prioritizing them. We don’t run our life, we make decisions only to feel and prove that we control life, but it is not true. Who controls our decision making process?
In fact the mind made personalized sense of our consciousness is conditioned by past experience which is deeper than thought and knowledge. Thinking mind is a powerful tool but we should not allow it to take over. The barriers of conceptual thoughts are to be removed.

Success and Joy
Folks! Persistent succeeds where more talented fail. Make conscious choices and try to do it better. Little shots which keep on shooting make a bang. Carve opportunity from every change and take advantage of every adversity. Problems coming in our day to day life are synonyms of opportunity and development of personality. Feel free and strive for quality. Look your best take offs and taking home grounds, make a programme to change it into advantage. Take calculated risk and get out when it is good. We have different standard for our drawing room and roads because roads belong to everyone. Why, India that is Bharat? Why not one name? Till you are ashamed of cleaning you can never claim to be successor of Mahatma Gandhi.
Education imitates because it is guided by fear, all this conditions for unaware state of mind. Make your work a vehicle to realize this truth and inculcate habit of selfless work. We are programmed by our family and society to be confused on simple values and remain unhappy. It is also taught that happiness can be achieved. It is wrong because happiness and wellness is our real nature, thus never achievable.
Prudence also can not ensure infallible success because the day does not know what night has concealed. Fool is not always unfortunate nor the wise always successful but fools can not have thorough enjoyment in this world and wise can never be wholly unhappy. Success is a result of certain things and actions, a social creation but joy is eternal. Sacrifice everything except your family and don’t quit from the determined path, stretch your potential and capacity to its limits. Motivate every cell of your mind and body to hit this nectar called ‘joy’. There is a joy of work which underscores success and even happiness. Keep it up, happiness success and wellness will automatically follow.

Happy and Superyoung
Friendship with people of all ages, sound sleep, romance and traveling keep us young as well as energetic. Regular exercises and walk for half an hour at least five times a week should be made a lifetime pursuit. Stretching ones in the morning and corrections of body postures while sitting, standing and walking is a must coupled with some vigorous physical activity at least thrice in a week. These things save energy and release growth hormones which help in retaining the potential of wellness.
Diet is very important for wellness. We should take carbohydrates including beans, grains and fiber as main ingredient of our food. One fourth of our meals should be fruits and vegetables, fifteen percent protein and five percent saturated fat. Alternate dozes of vitamin D and E, eight to ten glasses of water everyday act as cleanser and supplements our nutrition. Reduction of salt and sugar, chewing slowly and perfectly and hundred steps walk after every meal is very good for digestion and health as well as peaceful temperament. Reading good literature, exercises of vocabulary building, games of creativity and listening soothing music helps to keep our mind full of vigor.
Health, creativity, productivity and altruism being sustainable in day today life generates happiness and general wellness. Happy people always do better at complex and creative task while others being conscious of making errors, operate out of fear. It seems that people who have no money are less happy but after meeting basic needs and requirements money has a very small effect on happiness and wellness.

Character and Integrity
It is very simple, who we are is more important than who we appear to be. Character is software of this material body and world . It is most essential aspect of life and gives direction to life with meaning and depth. It includes fairness, generosity and integrity etc. Character and integrity are twin chords of success and self help in every aspect of life. Skill is needed for success but happiness, fulfillment and sustainability of success is guaranteed by character only.
Wrong is to start doing wrong, not getting caught: it is the crux of character and integrity. Integrity requires a personal standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and is certainly not relative to the situation at particular time. Character and integrity are inner standard of judgment of our behavior. These virtues are getting scarcer everyday in our present society but these are bottom line in every area of family as well as society. Our ego makes others look small and generates a society of dwarfs. One should never be afraid, who might have better idea and is smarter than us. Let us come forward to give credit to all of them whenever there is a possibility.
If you believe you are right never back down. Stand firmly for your convictions and never yield to pressure. This is most important ingredient of character and integrity. We should also rely on genuine core values because no development is possible without this. It is true for a person, institution and a nation. We have to stop doing what is fashionable or expected from outward and society. When it is sure, one will not be caught for doing wrong and even if he does something for his own benefit no one is going to discredit him: a man of integrity will do what is in the interest of masses and always fair. When we tell the truth to our own self we practice integrity and build character. When we tell this to others it is honesty which build our reputation. The trap of easy morality is to be avoided with every net of greed. People with good character and integrity, being more open to opportunities around them, become richer, happier and luckier.

Celebrate Wellness
Diet and exercise are important for wellness, drug and surgery comes to rescue us but to have an open heart is very vital for having long and healthy life.Love and intimacy lead to better health and healing.Similarly isolation predisposes us to disease and even premature death. Simply knowing that others care for you and you matter to others, strengthen power of wellness that is there in us. Social tie,friends,family and working community all are positive in their own ways for wellness because those who believe in relation believe in vitality. Even those who admit mistakes and always try to fight fair are less prone to common ailments. Whenever anger,reaction,negative and destructive thoughts come to our mind they increase toxins,it works as poison for wellness and liberal thoughts,kindness and welfare motive create life giving vitalizers,precursor of good health and wellness.
Those who believe that one does not make difference unless it is a difference in the lives of people and choose their legacy are given time to perform and fulfil it by the nature.
Let us believe firmly that every distinction and separation in the world is farce and be at peace with ourselves through meditation,devotion,service and understanding the nature of your own consciousness. Every positivity is after all positive and every negativity is negative.Trust the consciousness.
