The more you are silent, the more powerful you become. Don’t ever curse anybody.

You may wonder how to make your feelings soft. Visit temple of your ishtadevata or any deity towards whom you get the feeling of intense devotion. Visit the temple everyday continuously for 10 ten days. Cross exchange your hard - stone like vibrations there with God. In a temple, God may look like a stone but, is charged with divine vibrations. We human beings look like soft beings but are hard in our  feelings. When we visit the temple daily and cross exchange our vibrations through sadhana and aradhana then we start  receiving vibrations of divinity and automatically our hard feelings become soft and subtle. It will become so soft that  it will invite all divine forces to consecrate in your mind and heart.

The moment we have the Guru consecrated in our heart, we should be extremely aware of whom we are interacting with. Because, everytime we interact with anyone we are cross-exchanging our vibrations. Even by merely thinking about a person or talking about a person also leads to cross  exchange of vibrations. Therefore we should stop interacting with people who provoke us. Neither should we indulge in provoking others.

Therefore avoid gossip and instead godsip. As human beings we are all extraordinary. We are priceless, auspicious and precious. We have to value ourselves. We have to protect ourselves. Human birth is precious of all the births. Our life is very precious. We have transformed from the births of 8,40,000 species to now become a human being. So precious and auspicious we are. We have got this life to give love to others. The more we give love, the more we shall receive.

Only in the course of human life we can communicate to God. Therefore we must not waste this human birth. You have the power to think, comprehend and understand the very purpose of your life. Therefore keep your thoughts pure. Don’t use it for unnecessary talks and cursing others. You will lose your soul power or atma shakthi. Prayers and good behavior are the fuel to strengthen the power of our soul.

You should allow yourself for a quiet time for yourself, only then the inner power grows. Don’t lose the value of yourself.

The more you are silent, the more powerful you become. Don’t ever curse anybody. God operates only in the realm of love and prayers.

Today we have that universal power within us but we don’t have unconditional love in us. To develop this quality of unconditional love only Lord Shiva says offer the following to Guru - embodiment of divinity. Then, automatically we become selfless towards his creation too.

We as a seeker should offer a holy seat (Aasanam), a comfortable resting place (Shayanam), clothing (Vastram), ornaments(Bhushanam), a vehicle (Vahanam) and other things with an attitude of servitude.

When we offer the Guru an Aasanam - It is like placing the form of the Guru on the sacred pedestal of our Heart. When we offer the Guru Shayanam- a comfortable resting  place - it is like establishing the qualities of trust, faith , belief and surrenderance, which form the four legs of the holy seat.

When we offer the Guru - Vastram - brocade cloth that we drape on the sacred pedestal - it is like draping our Soul pedestal with the Brocade of Love and Devotion.

When we offer the Guru - Bhushanam - flowers - it is like decorating our soul with fragrant, divine qualities of peace and tranquility.

When we offer the Guru a Vahanam - the moving force - it represents the three moving forces - Iccha Shakti, Jnana  shakti and Kriya Shakti in us which propels us towards wisdom and enlightenment.
