Your Deepest Desire....

“You are what your deepest desire is.
As your desire is, so is your intention.
As your intention is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny.”
~ Upanishads

Nadia's Message from Deepak

The boundless field of intelligence is everywhere, manifesting in everything. We are all part of this interwoven tapestry, and the universe lives and breathes through each of us. Many people, however, live firmly entrenched in the belief that they are separate, isolated beings in a random cosmos. Instead of feeling included, they feel alone and are driven by personal desire and fear. They are caught in the grip of ego, which doesn’t know that it is connected to an unlimited source of ideas, abundance, and love. The ego is constantly struggling for a sense of security, whether through the accumulation of money, “power,” status, friends, or possessions.

At this moment the ego-based perspective dominates much of humanity, which is why we see so much pain and war in the world. The instant I see myself as an isolated individual, I have to confront the countless others who want what I want. Violence is the inevitable consequence of the opposition of “us" versus "them.” They never go away and they never give up.

To end the cycle of violence and bring peace to our families, communities, and the planet, it is necessary to expand our “I” from the little ego to the cosmic ego. How do we do this? The ancient wisdom traditions of India offer three powerful principles for transformation and peace – one loving thought, one loving word, and one loving act at time:

Satsang: Gather to share wisdom and guidance. Satsang is a Sanskrit term that has an even deeper meaning than its English translation to “connect.” Satsang is truly experiencing the underlying communion of humanity. We are at home in the world.

Seva: Engage in selfless service or compassion in action. Seva brings a joyful assurance that that our daily actions harm none and benefit all. We become part of the planet’s evolution, not its wholesale destruction.

Simran: The profound reflection into the nature of the true Self, our spiritual essence. Simran illuminates our unique reason for being and brings the satisfaction of expanded possibilities.

When this reflection is done in communion with others, it inspires ~ infuses with spirit ~ and unveils or unleashes the collective power of the essential connection we share, serving our inner transformation as well as global transformation.

Love,

Deepak
