Dear
Ritesh,
Know that you are here at this point in
your life for a reason. You are here to serve & go deeper on the
path. You are done with material life & are now 100% focused on the
path. You are so lucky to have an enlightened master. You are so
lucky to have chosen love over everything else in this world.
Learn the invaluable lesson you learned
from JS, a wise 68 year old who spent 20 years full-time with TM &
then decided he wanted money. He even once refused an invite from
Gurudev. He was even told to stop teaching once.
His advice: stay the course no
matter how hungry you get. Stick it out...this is the way.
Focus on serving others, giving love,
& gaining knowledge. Remember your three main responsibilities:
1). Parents; 2). Society; 3). Knowledge.
In every action, see each action as a
yogic action. Ask yourself if your actions & thoughts are that of a
yogi / Brahmacharya. Are you present & giving 100% effort in that
moment. Now now now!
Remember to think in terms of we, us,
& ours; not me, my, or I. Be selfless, not selfish. Be of
service. Teach others & you'll grow in knowledge. Live the
knowledge & you'll grow in wisdom.
Do not resist thoughts / get
disappointed by them, but rather surrender them to the river of
consciousness...remember to simply drop it & surrender when needed.
And stay a strong peaceful warrior.
Remember to put the big mind over everything else. Remember to be
single-pointed with a one track mind on Gurudev, on doing his work &
seeking his company. Remember to focus on Sadhana, seva, smile, &
Satsang. Remember to share the knowledge & teach every opportunity
you get. Focus on the big mind &/ the field of consciousness vs.
anything else...not the seers / senior teachers / the sense scenery.
Eat less...stay light & focus on
fruits, vegetables, & nuts and stay away from sweets, processed sugar,
fried foods, Tamsic foods, rice, & bread / roti / chapati.
Be love & bring many devotees to
Gurudev.
Share knowledge via weekly video nights,
hosting courses, sending knowledge via email, calling &/ connecting to
people, & being sincere. Do not dwell / discuss the past socially,
but rather take social opportunities to share the knowledge & enthusiasm
for what Gurudev's sharing with the world.
Keep doing yoga asanas & aerobic
exercises like running, swimming, & sports. Go for a walk first thing
in the am / at sunrise. Go for another walk / run at sun set. Take
time to be with nature.
Remember that Mother Earth loves you.
Gravity loves you. The air loves you. Your family loves you.
Remember to realize that everyone on this planet are your brothers &
sisters. Treat everyone as though they are your dear siblings &
always be of selfless service. Give & give & give love. Give
everything you can for you'll take nothing with you.
Do not dwell on the past / worry about
the future. Every time you think about the future / past, you are robbing
yourself of the beautiful present moment! BE PRESENT.
Take the time to smell the roses &
walk slowly, breathe, & sit &/ stand straight with good posture.
When you have good posture, you resonate love & confidence to others.
They will seek your guidance & enroll!
Love you so much...I can't wait for you
to find your self hiding in your heart.
Jai Guru Dev,
Your self 7/22/14
