We hear this phrase many a times,people wanting to introspect, meditate, do yoga,seek a guru and wanting to seek self.But what is this self?
One of those statements that was an insight from a book"autobiography of a yogi" stated amply clearly ,that "only you ,yourself are your own guru".No mortal can be a guru in the true sense.The best guideline they give is 2 options out of the plethora of choices in front of us.The choice ,right wrong,good or bad ,the way we percieve it to be never really exist.Its the way you choose and what you make of it once you take it up .But ,in spite of the hints,directions shown by the guide,mentor we still hesitate,question ourselves and seldom move ahead with what your mind and heart tells you.We go out asking a few more places,get conflicting answers and confuse ourselves beyond doubts.
Some of us get plagued with every day simple decisions and need help at every stage.We keep doubting our own abilities ,question our own intent, and of course our faith in almighty,which I feel must be at one place ,wherever in the universe it maybe ,but should be unquestionable.
People express great views,have phenomenal intelligence,ride high on the waves of materialistic success,tend to show others how they succeeded,not really understanding that each individual soul has its own unique experience that make them the most sought after in this universe.Few get on with it,drive the roads full of speed breakers and potholes, face the challenges that come their way,and step out with that unique experience ,they have so nicely created and are ready to savour that.They live life,even if it were a roller coaster.
Why then seek outside ,seek within.Look and find out what more can you do.Look at your unique experience you have created and maybe would like to create and live it.No one can get you there,except yourself.One thing I always would like to state is "Dedicate 5 minutes to that single space where you have that eternal unquestionable faith ,not just belief,and try to connect with it every day without fail.This activity ,if done with whole dedication can show you the path you are going to carve for yourself and create that one of unique experience like no other.
