Today afternoon on 10th of Sept, I was sleeping when I was unexpectedly woken up by heavy showers, dark clouds, thunder stroke and lightning. A loud crash of lightning near the hills created an imagery- first of a thunderstorm, deluge, catastrophe and then of the formation of fossils in the form of the spiritual black stone of Shaligram in the Himalayan Mountains. A picture of a special stone like that of Shaligram was produced in my mind and I comprehended that fossils have inert cosmic energy implanted and preserved within them. I focused my entire attention on the sacred Shaligram stone with reverence. Though for once, I was a bit frightened of the loud thunder and lightning in the atmosphere and was in anticipation as to what would happen next? At that point in time, it dawned on me that lightning, thunderstorm, rains etc. are all forces in nature and they are under the control of one and the same Power and all this must be happening today because of the will of God so why should I be afraid? I assured myself by accepting the circumstances and I soon entered a calm state and my poise and repose was restored.
I also decided to choose this very time to divert and focus my mind intensely on that One Supreme Power, who is the originator and creator of all the forces in this Universe. I took advantage of the extra-ordinary and freaky climatic conditions of that particular day in my favour. I earnestly prayed to that very Supreme Power to illumine me at those momentous seconds so that I could resolve a few life-mysteries and solve some unexplained circumstances taking place in my case presently. I was desperate to know why a particular set of events were occurring in my life without my control like the unrestrained thunder storms and forceful wind of that day. I had no control on either of them.
Could I stop the events I questioned, can I change the course of my destiny by first taking control of myself, then willingly executing and setting in motion specifically designed set of actions thereby controlling the destiny and thereupon changing my future? This thought and idea was being compared in my mind to that of the forceful river in the Himalayan Mountains which changes its course on the Earth because of some act of nature or by sheer human intervention.
I received my answer instantaneously and the silent Power unveiled its concealed secret shrouded in mystery from humans as a sheer Grace upon me! What an hour! What a glorious moment!
As the waters of rain give birth to new life, my mind too received new knowledge which widened the horizon of my sky-mind! Light of the Cosmic Force flooded my dormant fossil-mind and dissolved the last remnants of the unseen fine specks of muddy dust in the crevices of innermost layers and carried me like the rolling stones with the rushing gush to the roaring sea of limitless knowledge! I was completely soaked in the inundated flooding tides of waters of God’s Grace and pure Cosmic compassion! I was transformed! I was new! A new opening and complete transformation took place. A new life awaited me!
Today, it is this that I wish to share and distribute with all those people and the readers who have love for God as even a drop of the holy water of sacred knowledge will give birth to new germination of life, a new birth, a new start to them. It is my silent prayer at this pious hour to the Supreme God to bestow on all those readers a new dawn, a new life of higher and deeper comprehension and spiritual understanding in their ever expanding minds!!
I know that my current life situations are the doing of my past life, I continued thinking. The result of my actions are bound to show up and bear fruit, no matter what now or in future. I cannot control the occurrence of them, they are inevitable. So what could be done, what should I do? I wanted to know.
It dawned on me during that brief period that I always have two options at every milestone of my life-journey. I can either accept the circumstances happily or reject them despondently. In fact, the better word would be ‘resist’ and not ‘reject’ as merely rejecting would not stop the reactions or past-life effects to materialize anyway. If I resist my present life situations, there is a turmoil in my mind. Turmoil further creates uneasy, discordant mental formations which will alter or jeopardize my immediate or far off future. So,
a) In this way, I am not covering up my chartered journey and also not burning and exhausting the previous karmas.
b) Simultaneously I am also creating more new mental karmas by rejecting my present life by not owning up my past.
It is for me to now understand and accept that I am taking an incorrect approach in my life in dealing with my current events. And the second possible option is acceptance.
Acceptance with an open mind.
If I accept whatever comes in my life gracefully with an open mind, that means I have no resistance. Absence of resistance gives me peace of mind. Peace is the nature of God. Through peace I become attuned to God. Peace is given to us as a gift from God. It flows like the pure waters of river Ganga in our life as a Grace of God. So if we accept and own up our past life and prior deeds with an open mind today, the doors to the Sweet Divine are made open!
Unexpected descent of Peace and Grace should be viewed as Divine intervention. Recognize that.
Divine intervention is a bigger and higher force than the force of our karmas, the law of cause and effect, reaping and sowing of energies in the Cosmic Universe.
Once we accept our life as it is and do not resist or rebel, we begin to comprehend the subtle, unknown spiritual laws of God operating in our Universe. We become peaceful. We are then empowered by a mightier force of the Almighty.
After submission, we accept the challenging life roles, tasks and duties, hardships, griefs and sorrows. We are also able to invoke superior, unseen, unearthed powers in us by which we can change, re-align and re-structure our future!
Let us re-create our destiny with our own wish, with acceptance through Divine intervention in the form of Peace and Grace!
Peace! Peace! Peace! to you, me and all!!

this is what is good about you, amma.. a-u pray a LOT and b- you always think about a life situation, accept it and then try to take control of it as best as u can..without fussing n cribbing..thats why u are able to shape your life while others seem to be drifters busy blaming all n sundry for their misfortunes.
Praying cleans our inner self. It aids in overcoming our difficulties and brings us closer to God. So pray for yourself and pray for all. Only a pure soul can pray. Praying mitigates our sorrows and worries. Amma
Ma,
It feels so good when we accept our life situations and stop blaming others for it. As God resides in me, the same God resides in others too , so where m I getting affected? HE is creating situations and its the same HE who is taking the sufferings. I am nowhere, I m none.
Dear mom, I was guided to read this post today.
Loved this para:
” If I ACCEPT whatever comes in my life gracefully with an open mind, that means I have NO RESISTANCE in me. Absence of resistance gives me PEACE OF MIND. Peace is the nature of God. Through peace I become attuned to God. Peace is given to us as a gift from God. It flows like the pure waters of Ganga in our life as a Grace of God. So if we accept and own up our past life and prior deeds with an open mind today, the doors to the Sweet Divine are flung open! ”
So from what I understand if we have financial problems now or health problems now, ACCEPT them, DON’T RESIST them and
at the same time do whatever we can for a Brighter future
with persistent NEW thoughts and actions daily. Is that right
mom ?
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Sarika Ji,
To me this chapter has everything to live a Happy and satisfied life. Acceptance is the Key, Peace is the result. During meditation mind chattering is because we haven’t accepted something from core and not yet surrendered to the lord.
Oh! Lord help me in surrendering to you.
Love to read this para again and again …..” As the waters of rain gives birth to new life, my mind too received new knowledge which widened the horizon of my sky-mind! Light of the Cosmic Force flooded my dormant fossil- mind and dissolved the last remnants of the unseen fine specks of muddy dust in the crevices of innermost layers and carried me like the rolling stones with the rushing gush to the roaring sea of limitless knowledge!

A new life awaited me! “
Dear Shahid, We have to wait very patiently for this process to happen to us. It takes a lot, a lot of effort from our side, from Gurus’ and Nature too to mould our all old patterns so that the innermost layers of dark ages inside are broken and then washed out. It can be testing times.
So hold on and take shakti from the enlightened souls to complete the task.
Mom.
OK, Thank you mom.
Sarika mam,
Namaste! I saw this photo of babaji in one of the movies,it was so enticing. I was surfing through the internet and I ended up visiting this page. Every posts here are really splendid instilling spiritual thoughts. You know, I recide in India yet I have not travelled to most of those ancient temples except few famous temples in the south. Spirituality is experience you must be there in those places where those great mahans and babajis lived so that you can feel the divine presence yet ,your words made me feel what you felt when u go there. I am yet to be graduated from my college but once I do I am going to experience everything you felt in person, but for now I am going to book mark your blog and read everything from the beginning! .Keep posting regularly mam!
My dear Adithya, welcome on this blog and you add so much fizz and enthusiasm:) when you show so much interest in experiencing new things.
Please do come back again to read whatever is useful for your growth and evolution.

Love this para ” Once we accept our life as it is and do not resist or rebel, we begin to comprehend the subtle unknown spiritual laws of god operating in our universe. We become peaceful. We are then empowered by a mightier force of the Almighty. Because of which we not only accept the challenging life roles, tasks and duties, hardships, griefs and sorrows, we are also able to invoke superior unseen, unearthed powers in us by which we can change, re-align and re-structure our future! So let us re-create our destiny with our own wish, acceptance and ultimately Divine intervention in the form of Grace! ”

Pls help me serve God while I am on Earth during this short journey.
Thank you from my heart <3
Sarika Ji,
I always used to think if everything is pre-destined than what is the roll of prayers and connecting with Supreme? I got my answer now:
Once we accept our life as it is and do not resist or rebel, we begin to comprehend the subtle unknown spiritual laws of god operating in our universe. We become peaceful. We are then empowered by a mightier force of the Almighty. Because of which we not only accept the challenging life roles, tasks and duties, hardships, griefs and sorrows, we are also able to invoke superior unseen, unearthed powers in us by which we can change, re-align and re-structure our future! So let us re-create our destiny with our own wish, acceptance and ultimately Divine intervention in the form of Grace!
When we are at peace we can listen to the inner voice or the direction from the Supreme “Divine Interventions”
Thanks for sharing the mantra of re-creating the destiny.
