Everything in existence owes its existence to a life force current, or spirit, that animates its existence. The same energy that causes my heart to beat is causing your heart to beat. The same innate intelligence that is directing the movement of every atom, molecule and cell of your body, is also directing the movement of every being, planet, star and galaxy. And the same volition that is compelling me to write these words for you to read has moved you to read them.

Shakti is that life force that is conducting this play of life. The more you connect with it, the more connected you are…the more clarity, insight…the more happiness and peace. Meditation on the Shakti within you brings your mind in direct awareness with the very essence of who you are. The more connected you are with who you are the more easily you are going to be guided to fulfilling your life purpose and find greater meaning and purpose in life.

As you are reading these words and reflecting upon their meaning what are you feeling? Take a moment to reflect upon the very volition that brought you to this moment. You are being guided, just as I am. Spirit is guiding us all to evolve our conscious awareness, to realize our highest potential and fulfill the very purpose for which we inca
ated. You are part of a growing mass of humanity that is leading the way to bringing forth a world that we all want to live in. Deep inside you know this. Go to this place within you that already know. This is meditation.

The more you go within and connect with the life force within you, the more this inner knowing develops. You don't try to meditate, you simply observe the life force within you and enjoy it. Rather than trying to meditate, you allow yourself to be meditated. The more open you are to receive, the more you will receive. Let me come to you in spirit. Let us join in Divine embrace, like children playing in a Heavenly Kingdom that lies within us. Right now you are connected. Take a moment to close your eyes and feel your spirit guiding you. I will meet you there.

From the Heart, Steven S. Sadleir

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?

To answer your question, let’s study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: “This 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
