We can feel that we are not peaceful. We are not peaceful because we are not feeling fulfilled. Every day we want more… higher position at work, more recognition, more youthfulness, more wealth, more power. Wanting more and more every day makes us unpeaceful. 

And the moment we recognize ourselves, instantly we become peaceful and recognize that I am fully fulfilled. We won't find absolutely any thirst in us for anything. This is the beauty of human life. This is how beautiful our creator has created us, that our true self is so peaceful, so fulfilled.

We are on the journey of recognizing our true self. Daily HKL practices are transforming us, but there are few things to know and remain alert about.

As we start transforming, that transformation will not become visible to our eyes or to our ears, but that transformation in us is going to be felt within. And as soon as the transformation starts happening, we would become scared, and we would quit going further and come back to our old miserable way of life.

The reason is that as we do these practices, the outside world is not going to change. Same roads, same house, same people in the house, same skies, everything same. But what will change is the way we look at others, the way we listen to others, and the way we interact with others, and that scares us and others too.

Because up until yesterday, we were so anxious to have somebody in our lives. And today, when we look at them, we don't find any new flowers blooming within us. Why? Because as we start moving towards ourselves, we start feeling fulfilled and already peaceful. The things about which we remain worried day and night, those worries start losing their grip on us. Our appreciation, which used to bring smiles to our faces, does nothing to our inside. And something which we felt insulted and were carrying with us for months, we become so stunned that how come this happened to me?

All these things do not happen for nothing. They are the signs of our changing insides. They are the signs of the changing of our inner atmospheres. That is the time when the blessed life starts entering into our home. And we become scared. The question arises: why? And this must be understood, and we must remain alert to, please. The reason is that we want a new life, but we don't want to leave anything from the old life. 

We want to be peaceful, but we do not quit complaining and feeling resentment. We want to become all love, but we don't leave our egos. We want liberation, emancipation, but we do not quit possessing other people, other places, other things. We want peace within, but we don't quit anger. We want deep inner peace, but we don't quit rushing. We want a new life, but we do not want to leave the old identity (I'm the president of that company. I have these businesses. I have these degrees). That is the problem. And when we are confronted with that, we become scared. 

So please remember, peace cannot come into our homes if we do not want to throw the unpeacefulness out of the home. We cannot become loving if we do not practice and become egoless. We cannot become humble and start recognizing the beauty of life as long as we feel that others or somebody else is lower than me. 

We want a new life, and the new life is knocking at our doorsteps, but we are afraid to open our doors to it. So the moment we recognize our true self, we are going to become all that. We are going to become really wealthy because we would have humility, love, compassion, kindness, peacefulness, everything beautiful, precious in our homes and become peaceful and fulfilled. For that, we need help to let the change happen to us. We need help. And the only person who can help us is our creator. We need His grace.

So every day, we are going to recognize our heart dancing and recognize that the Divine presence is dancing through my heart. So we are going to sit many times during the day with closed eyes, feel the dancing heart and bow down to the power who is dancing through it and beg him for his grace so that we do not become afraid to embrace new life.

We have become a tree (our old habits of living) which gives no shade, no fragrant flowers, no really nourishing fruits. We must ask for his grace so that we have the courage to replace that tree with new shady, really fragrant flowers, & really nourishing fruits. 

So every day, while addressing the creator, dancing through the heart, we are going to beg: grace, grace, grace, grace. 

We are going to bow our heads down to him and keep repeating this word, begging him and listening to our own sound.

Soon we will start becoming peaceful and feeling peace within us. That is the sign that we are moving closer and closer to our true self. We all are, in fact, very courageous. Let us bring that courage out with the grace of the Divine.
