The 4 principles of Spirituality

"Whomsoever you encounter is the right one"
Everyone whom we have met this far is intended. Like what I mentioned to SV, we have met for a reason. What are the chances of meeting your homeboy, someone who has been in your neighbourhood for 20 over years and knows a quarter of your friends, through a matrimonial website?!? When we met, both of us did not ring a bell to each otherm though we had many common friends. We meet each other to improve a situation or learn somthing from each other. Listening to his story has put me in perspective and having gone through something similar I was able relate to him and offer him some of Baba's teachings. It was intended that I met him so that he could receive Baba's blessings. Its the same with V, it was intended that he received Baba's blessings at that point. What was the probability that I was in the same city as him at that point of his life? I was supposed to leave in Sept, but my stay was extended only because my friends offered me her place, and because of that I was able to be there for V when he needed me most. So can I say that was meant to happen?

"Whatever happened is the only thing that could have happened”
Everything we have experienced is exactly what it should have been. The journey I have taken this far has definitely made me a stronger and matured person. I realise how fortunate I have am as compared to others. Every single situation in life which we encounter is absolutely perfect, even when it defies our understanding and our ego. Each person met had a lesson to teach and each situation, a lesson learnt. I belief SL coming into my life was to wake me up from my denial state. Its still bizarre how it all happened and ended on a snap of the finger.

“Each moment in which something begins is the right moment”
Everything begins at exactly the right moment when we are ready for it. Maybe I am not ready for the change in location, well who but he knows best. The fact that V has allowed me into his life again is meant to happen. Dont ask me where it is intended to go from here, but I am glad it hapened at least.

"What is over, is over”
When something in our life ends, it helps our evolution. Not one single snowflake falls accidentally in the wrong place. Many journeys have ended and a few have just begun, some with the same players and some with different ones. Where this journey leads to is left to be seen. My journey is NSS is over, but the friendship made there will last a lifetime ;P

A Beautiful Soul

Its the second time in a week that someone has referred to me as "a beautiful soul". What makes their experience with me different from the rest I wonder. I remember sometime back I was told by an astrologer that I am like the moon, where it is a rare occasion to be disliked by someone. When I was away I was missed by many. Mails and comments of missing my presence kept me going I should say. I was known to be the gel that glued many together. Now that I am back, friends and family from there are missing my presence. My brother in law says its like the 'storm' has subsided, cos it used to be gatherings, drinking and BBQ during my stay, where my friends were also a part of it. In school days I remember being ostracized by my classmates because I mingled with students from the less academically inclined classes. But to date, I have made many friends from all walks of life, and frankly I have seen more humanity and compassion in these people as compared to those who have lives stacked with degrees and passports to many countries. Even the most educated and established, i have come across to be the most selfish and self centered, making me wonder what education had actually done to one.
I am a rebel in my own ways, I was also told by friends that I do not conform to the norms. Thats true, I play by my own rules and follow my heart, for that I have been said to be naive and stupid. Well my rule is simple: Love All & Serve All, I am not GOD to punish, I dont choose friends based on how they benefit me, and I dont care what others think of me. I do what is right and I stick by MY rules :P
