The Diamond is within You

Once upon a time, there were 3 angels who were flying towards God to know the location of the presence of Precious Jewel - The Valuable diamond in the human world. God, the creator of this Universe, smiles at them in a very loving way and says that oh my sweet angels, please fly and search yourself, and then I will guide you.

The angels start searching from one place to another looking for the precious stone. One angel flies inside the water bodies, seas, oceans and tries to search but unfortunately could not find any. The other angel also searches the cities and villages where human settlement is there but could not find there too.
The third angel searches all the other natural habitats like forests, deserts, etc. but there too could not find any precious jewel.

So, unfortunately, all the angels went to the Source of creation, to God, and said that they could not find the diamond. God again smiled, a smile filled with wit and all-knowing grace. God then says, Oh my Angels you have searched in the whole world but what a dilemma, all human beings are also doing the same. When looking for the precious jewels of love, peace, and happiness, they are searching outside, and they are unable to find it - this is suffering!

The Precious Jewels of angels, I have hidden within the heart and soul of each man. Within the human being, I have hidden the Diamond…You need to go within to find it and attain it. All pursuits going outside in search of it is fruitless and shall leave man with nothing... Oh, my Divine Angles take this beautiful message to the world - The Diamond is within you!! Search for it within you!!


Moral: All pursuits in the external world for inner peace are fruitless. The external world can provide us with all tangible comforts but not inner peace and bliss, for the experience of this Diamond, the man has to delve deep within, and then he shall be blessed with the fruits of infinite peace in the beatitude of the inner temple.

Embracing the transitions in life with faith

“Change is the only thing that is constant in life.” We, as humans, undergo changes in our day-to-day lives. We experience change as a moment of unsettling and transition into something new. The intensity of change could be a major one whereby we undergo structural and systemic change transforming from one phase of life to another. This pushes us out from a static state of existence to a dynamic ever-changing being. We do feel a certain level of discomfort while going through these transitions, but having faith and hope in our hearts does make a great difference.  Let's take a moment to consider the underlying reasons why a change might be uncomfortable. Changes can represent transience and mortality. One significant transition in human existence that we all go through is death. Every change is a small death in itself, whereby the old dies and the new is born. As humans, we have a tendency to cling to life and have attachment to the existing state, I suppose this is one of the root...

Breath: An anchor to the present moment

Breath is the essence and elixir of human life. As long as we breathe, we are alive. Breathing is fundamental to our existence. In today’s fast-paced, busy world, we are often unconscious of our “breath.’’ Our minds tend to be more active in the present age when there are plenty of distractions around us. We all experience our minds racing amidst the memories of events in the past and towards the uncertainties and anxieties of the future.
