n Have you ever found yourself wondering..is this all there is?
The humdrum of life, the endless tasks and duties, work and family demands?
At times does it feel that truly there is nothing more, nothing that makes you feel vibrantly alive and excited to face each day?
Logically, does it appear there is a sense that life is full of challenges, of have-tos? n n But if you truly believed that all you are is logic and mundane tasks, then why are you reading this?n n To honor all we are is part and parcel of every spiritual tradition when Truth is the mandate and not rigid rules and obligations. We are here to be what and who we are..to live our lives for the highest good we can achieve for the highest purpose.
But when we are guided more by the search for material reality and not the soul reality, we are bound to feel tired, drained of energy, deadened and less than whole. When we seek to make sense of the seemingly senseless from only an intellectual or mental perspective we miss the true meaning of all of experience..which is to learn, to grow, to become ever evolving souls in this plane of existence.
So my guess is you are reading this because there is part of you ..hidden or denied or searching..that needs to clarify and that knows there is more. There is more to your life and your experience than can be tied to logic or the need to perform and achieve in the material realm.
But how do you discover and claim that greater part of you? That significant essence that is always seeking to reveal itself, but may be cloaked by everyday tedium?
By becoming. Or as the Velveteen Rabbit once said.. “by becoming real”
It is not the attending to everyday trivia and duties that keeps us from ourselves.
It s is not the use of logic and mental explanations that hold us hostage to a deadened existence.
Trivia and logic are meant to serve us. Instead we often make them our master.
It is attachment to the ordinary that distracts us from the extraordinary.
The extraordinary truth of being who you are in this lifetime. The extraordinary feeling of being alive even in the midst of the humdrum. .
If you are willing to suspend logical thought for even a moment, then imagine:
All that you own, all that you have, all that allows you to feel successful, secure, and comfortable..imagine it is all gone.
The house, the car, the life partner, the friendships, recognition, material goods and ado
ments, safety..
Imagine it is all illusion.
You stand alone, without possessions, naked before The One, Being, God, the Goddess, Divine Essence.
Who are you?
What NOW makes you, YOU?
Stripped to essence what are you?
See your inner light. Your core gifts. Your integrity. Your purpose.
Your true self.
When you become real, all that you do and all that you experience is no longer ordinary.nn n When you are authentically present, you realize the joyful aliveness of every simple task.
When you claim your truest self, you intrinsically live the logic of a perfectly formed world.

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?
To answer your question, letâs study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: âThis puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
