The other day when I was putting the soiled dishes in the dishwasher, it occurred to me that the principle behind a spiritual Initiation or “Diksha” can be explained through the analogy of the dishwasher.

The mind of a seeker is like a dishwasher filled with soiled dishes. These soiled dishes represent the fear, the anger, the bitterness, the suffering and the general disturbance in the seeker’s mind. This dirt of ignorance prevents the seeker from achieving sustainable peace and happiness.

God: " LOVE who is JOYFULLY AWARE of Himself"

He is expressing his LOVE, JOY & AWARENESS through a mysterious & genius GAME of deluded and limited concepts of Love, Joy & Awareness/Intelligence through every MIND in creation. Because of the Power of Delusion we remain ignorant of this DIVINE GAME and keep on living in the world of our own concepts of Love, Joy & Intelligence. This confines our happiness, knowledge and power.

In 2012, there will be an inflexion point for the human race – its traces will begin in 2010. Rational mind will gradually become an obsolete faculty. There will be such an overload of information that people who rely just on their rational mind will find it hard to absorb it all. People who will be able to evolve their rational faculty to their intuitional faculty, who will graduate from now obsolete time management principles to energy management principles will find success.

Dear Initiates and Friends,

Divine Heart Center wishes you and your loved ones a very happy and spiritually abundant New Year!

Let us use a few moments today in contemplating over the three energy focus points that were mentioned in last year's New Year message:-

"First, we should learn to live within our means"

"Second, we should become more tolerant, loving, and present"

Divine Heart Center wishes you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, let us remember that one of the best gifts one can give to another is the gift of peace. The earnings of peace come to us after hard work of regular spiritual practice alongside the committed effort we put in our profession and for the upkeep of our families. What we have is what we can give. If we have peace within ourselves we can make others peaceful.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and the ones in your thoughts and hearts.

Love is the most sought after commodity in our world today. It may not seem so at the surface but if you look deeply at the nature of our wants, you will find that all our wants stem from our need be loved and to give love. We want high-flying careers, we want hi-tech cars, we want to host grand parties etc. We do all this to satiate our need of being wanted or being desired by others, or to feel self- satisfied. Such actions are nothing but a external means to make ourselves feel loved. These external objects or external accomplishments give us a sense of fulfilment or completion.
