The foremost of all things that I have learnt in life is gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha) at the earliest. Why? We do not know what we shall be in the next manifestation... also we have only one life to live! Why not live it to its best! Gaining enlightenment and salvation is the end goal of every soul atman within!
The body... the body of every living being including human beings only does the bidding of the soul atman within. Our soul atman is the absolute master and controller of the body at all times. It is our soul atman that has manifested the body to work out its karma... remove the impurities... the dross within!
Similar as the metal within an ore cannot separate itself on its own... the impure soul atman also requires the body to eradicate the impurities within! Ever since the big bang occurred and every soul atman started its cosmic journey... the goal of cosmic life remains gaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever.
When human beings gain enlightenment and salvation... the soul atman regains its original pure pristine form! The liberated soul atman finally enters the domain of God... the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). The kingdom of God is point of no return... every liberated soul atman can never manifest a form... a body again!
I started in search of God when 11 years of age. By 13 my desire turned into firm conviction... come whatever may in this very life I shall not only find God but remain in communion with God all the time! At 37 years of age I finally realized God. Having reached the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... I can commune with God every moment of life on one-to-one basis!
Having reached the Mount Everest of spiritual pursuit... I have nothing more but to disseminate the wisdom gained by traveling the spiritual path! Ever since 1993 through the medium of Internet I have been doing that. In the last about 14 years I have spent about $100,000 for the welfare of mankind. God Almighty has been very kind to me.

I've learned that each one of us affects more people than we can possibly realize. The old metaphor of ripples in the stream is the best one I can think of. Our actions spread out and affect others for good or ill. When a crime is committed, millions feel it. When a 5 year-old Iraqi child is set on fire and disfigured, people throughout the world come to his rescue. In short, I would say, "Be careful what you do; your actions affect the entire world."

Life is somewhat complicated and very short.no one knows when we die or still alive.what makes it complicated is I just do not understand how people are.I just cant make people content of what they really wants in their lives.People have no contentment.People searches out many devices.
Here it is:
People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered
Love them anyway
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
Do good anyway
If you are succesful, you will win false friends and true enemies
Succeed anyway
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable
Be honest and frank anyway
The biggest person with the biggest idea can be shut down by smallest person with smallest mind
Think big anyway
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth
Give the world the best youve got anyway.

Stand up for yourself and not let people walk all over you becuase if given the chance they will. There are so many freedoms that people are giving up without a single cross word or complaint.

If you want to do something do it now and don't wait until tomorrow because, tomorrow may never come. If an opportunity comes along and you pass it up later on down the road chances are you are going to regret it.

People let you down. No matter how much you love your children when they are born, no matter how much you love your spouse, they will let you down at some point in life. And yes, even your bestest pal will let you down. Be careful who you share your life with. Stay with people more suited to you. Live by morals and trust God. He is there when everyone else is gone.

That you shouldn't beat yourself up when you make mistakes because we cannot change the past. All we can do is learn from them and try to become a better person.

Hate is addictive. Once you stop hating, the whole world opens up to you. And then the true journey of life begins.

We are all flawed. Don't seek perfection, you will waste your life.
Instead of coveting the pedestal where so many fall off...stay grounded, be at peace and take nothing for granted.
