In this Episode on Meditation, Guru Sunita Bapooji through her usual subtle, simple, serene, style and sense of humour peels the layers of the most complex material of the world “Mind” to help us understand the essence of Meditation.

I am sure given an opportunity we all are looking for ways to achieve work-life balance. We want the ability to create abundance in wealth and health for our family and society. If so, then meditation is the answer, to regulate and capture the power of mind to channel the energy for the benefit of Self and Society.

Meditation is the way to achieve the harmony in our lives for not only inner peace, but also maximize & optimize the Physical, Mental and Emotional energies for leading a life filled with good choices that make a positive influence on ourselves, family and the society.

Lets embrace the Silent Path to break the barriers of Mind.

In this segment, we chat with Sunita Bapooji to understand many other interesting aspects of this dreadful disease.

Sunita Bapooji also takes us through a journey of Yoga asanas that are very good in preventing and curing Diabetes. Also we feature a recipe made from Bitter guard which is found to be one of the best vegetables in prevention and cure of Diabetes.

Meena Kollipara takes us on a culinary trip into the land of spices from Indian kitchen to show us medicinal value of these Subtle and Simple ingredients that form the foundation of healing in day to day cooking from Indian Sub continent. We continue to look forward for your feedback and suggestions as we try our best to view the Health with both eyes, Ancient and Modern perspectives.

We are pleased to bring you the second episode of  ”Health is Wealth”.  Starting with this episode and going forward, we delve deeper into understanding simple and complex problems that affect our Mind and Body.

In this episode we discuss a “sweet” disease, that can adversely impact the Body and Mind, namely Diabetes. Sunita Bapooji is back to speak to us about ancient wisdom, her experiences with Diabetes in her family, and more universally, to tell us about several simple day to day life-style changes we can embrace to prevent the onset of Diabetes.

We hope you enjoy this episode and we look forward to your sending us valuable feedback and suggestions to evolve this series in a way that you and your family find educational, entertaining and enlightening.

Another big milestone in our Journey.

Techniques are available every where, but if you want to receive the guidance of a Self Realized Master and dwell in the Bliss of Pure Yogic healing energy, this is an opportunity of Life time.

But the Art of Living is a different ball game.
Life encompasses our Thoughts & Actions, that emanate from Mind & Body and the Purity and Integrity of these. This Art is rarely taught in schools and families these days.
This education of Mind and Body is infact the most important of all the educations that we receive. Perfection of our thought and action needs to be the essence of the journey of life.

We all know from our childhood, when we go to a Master/Teacher, we learn, do home work, fix any mistakes and again go back to the Master with better skill.
Master verifies what we learnt, and slowly progresses us to next levels. This applies to any area of knowledge. Similarly Parents at home nurture an infant by providing opportunity to learn and upgrading the child to different levels of complexities.
A child learns, falls, learns and grows.

In a similar manner, when we go to a Master who guides us in Life, who helps us lead life with Pure thoughts and actions, we need to get better in our outlook towards life every time.
As mentioned in previous articles, a Few are Masters/Yogis like Sunita Bapooji who can teach by cleansing us, By cleansing she is not only absorbing and eliminating our sub conscious dirt in form of clutters of thought and illness of body, but also teaching us pure ways of living life.
We cannot just go to such Masters to get rid of the impurities that we accumulated in Mind and Body and come back to the world and keep resorting the same old habits of impure thoughts and actions.
Master cannot be a “garbage can” to dump all the stress/sub conscious baggage that we carry. Healing masters like Sunita naturally absorb the clutters that we carry in life.
Sunita does not make any special effort or use any technique to absorb our Mental agitations/fluctuations. She is born with the healing pure energy.
So it becomes our responsibility to grow better, become purer and aware of our own thoughts, behavior and actions every time we go to such Masters with healing power.
Our mission should be to purify ourselves rather than using Master to unload all our stress.

For sure, We all go to Masters like Sunita to heal from simple daily stress to complex diseases, But what is healing?
Healing is cleansing of all the dirt and impurities in our Mind and Body. It is refinement of our Mind and Body. Infact the process of healing is more difficult than teaching a 4 yr old.
Because a 4 yr old has very little conditioned behaviour and attitudes, whereas we adults have accumulated tons of dirt in form of judgements, attitudes and Ego.
A 4yr old works with Innocence and we grown ups work with Ignorance.
So when we go to a Master like Sunita, she is doing double the work. First get rid off all the dirt from our sub-conscious system and also teaching us better ways of life so that we do not get dirty again.
Healing is a process of elimination of Ignorance and allowing us to revisit the Innocence in us.
I remember a line that Sunita often says “I am making you into a pure white cloth. Do not add stains to that again”. But most of us again repeat the old behaviour and make our cloth of life dirty.

Learning happens only when we surrender, Without surrender to the teacher there is no knowledge transfer. Learning is a continuous process of Listening, Practise and Assimilation.
In this evolutionary process, we need to get better every day, learn from mistakes, and eventually Master the craft.
The student needs to always come to Master with a conviction that he is presenting the best to the teacher from what was taught in every visit and ready to become better by showing constant and consistent progress.
The most common hurdle that comes along the way in learning is “Ego”, the delusive entity in us that does not want to learn, that believes that it already knows everything.
This Ego is the biggest blockage for learning, let it be learning Violin, Piano or Computers. This Ego comes into play even more with the matters of Mind, because it involves a total shift in the thought process.
As adults we do not like to take this U turn, we want to feel that we already know everything and keep sticking to old habits.
I remember my Acting school teacher, Mr.Coburn used to say
“Before entering the class room, drop your Mind in the bucket I left outside the class and then enter the room”. By that he meant to drop the feeling of “I” because that is a greatest impediment to learning.

Many students speak externally the words of praises and adulations, but a Master expects none of these or any gifts.
A Master’s focus is Purification of a Student’s Mind and Body and preparing the student to elegantly handle the challenges of Life.
Master’s goal is to see constant positive progress in a student.
Master gets gratified only when the student succeeds in the mission they have begun with.

When I went back to my teachers who taught me in the Primary school after 30 years I have seen their eyes filled with joy and fulfillment.
Their expectation from me was not great gifts or words of flattery, but just to see me succeed in education, career, character building and Life.

An ideal student to a Master is one who surrenders the Soul/Spirit/Atman. Without this everything else is a mere drama and the results are equally fake.
“Atman Samarpan” is the greatest gift a student can give a Master. And the greatest Masters like Sunita Bapooji are the ones who expect nothing.

Many a time, people also tend to ask, If there are so many great Gurus in the world, then why do we still see so much crime and injustice in the world. Can’t these Masters magically transform the world?
If they are so Powerful, why can’t they influence everyone in the humanity.

Well, to begin with, the Truly Humble Master never claims that he can change anything, The true Master is always contemplated in changing within. The true Master is always engaged in Self Realisation.
The beauty of this process is that as the Master is deeply engrossed in the Inside, the Purification of the Inner self is automatically influencing the people around.
The grace and glow emanating from the Master permeates the space around and influences the humanity around, just like fragrance of a flower spreading in its surrounding.
The true Master never declares that he can wipe out the filth in the humanity. A real master is constantly living in the moment bearing the burden of humanity around, burden of our selfish, mean thoughts and actions.
A master may heal, perform tricks, and may be aware of actions and thoughts of humanity, with the divine power of universal consiousness. Those powers are only manifestations of their innate ability to connect to the source of creation, the Cosmic energy.
When we watch one of those miracles we draw our own conclusions, either run after them or call them Magicians, use different names, whichever appeals to our own heart.
These names and interpretations are personal and based on our own experiences. The Master never asks us to create them into DemiGods or Gods.
It is our own inner consciousness that makes these judgements based on our experiences of their ability to bring out the inherent power within us.

A Master can heal or peform miraculous change only when we are ready to open and recieve. A true master never claims that they are Gods or Demi-Gods.
The real master can help us drop our baggages, selfishness, greed and all other pains that we carry.
The master is creating a channel by digging through the dirt that we have accumulated in form of subconscious clutters and eventually creating a clear conduit that can recieve the cosmic energy into our inner real self.
The true Master is creating a bridge between our Individual Self to the Pure Supreme Self. This process involves cleansing of the dirt in our Mind and Body and slowly creating a path for us to recieve the Cosmic energy, and finally illuminating the Inner Self.

So how in the world, can these Masters change the world in its entirety. They can and cannot. They can if we are open to recieve the guidance, drop our Ego and baggages of selfishness. They cannot if we continue to live in the skeptic & selfish mind filled with Ego.
A true master is Pure in Thought and Action. Such a master suffers through the pain of humanity, as the master is working through the pains of people around by carrying the baggage of actions that we accumulate in form of Karma over a period of many births.
Such was the grace of some great saints who walked on this earth like Jesus, Ramakrishna Pramahansa, Shirdi Sai baba, Mohammed and many more.

None of these great masters went around propagating that they can change the world. The change happened around them because of the power of their Pure thought.
People were drawn towards these great masters because of their innate ability to help and care.
They have only appealed to humanity to be good & do good.
It is our own ignorance of interpreting the message in a twisted manner.

There is an Indian saint (Annamayya) who was very deeply influenced by the divine energy and has written thousands of songs, poems and bhajans in the praise of the divinity.
One of his poems starts like this:
“Entha Maathramuna evvaru thalachina antha maathrame neevu”.
It translates to “How ever you imagine and interpret the divinity, that much is the manifestation of divinity.”
Our interpretation of the power of divinity could be as small as a dot and as huge as the Universe itself.
So it is our own imagination that allows us to see the dvinity in the smallest and the greatest.

A real Master is waiting to reach anyone who is interested, to open up, grow and elevate to higher levels in thoughts and actions.
Such a master is never selfish and always wants to take the student to a better state than him/herself.
If we knock the door, the Master is always ready to walk into our hearts to Purify us.

In my own experiences, I have seen all of the above qualities of a Guru in Sunita Bapooji.
It was a journey of transformation for me in the past 4 years to cross my own inner enemies to see the power of a real master.
On this day of Guru Poornima, my salutations to the divine guru, Sunita Bapooji who helped and guided me in the path of Self realisation.
