Moksha vs Mukti

Moksha is liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth, while mukti is liberation from karma while alive.

Only think about what you want and your life will be beyond anything you can possibly imagine.

Thinking about what you want means that you won’t criticize, blame, or complain about anyone or anything because that would be thinking about what you don’t want! 

Pivot from those negative thoughts and think about what you DO WANT!

May the joy be with you. 

"I am grateful for this new day and all its possibilities."

1. Before getting out of bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for (your health, home, loved ones, etc.).
2. While having breakfast or getting ready, appreciate simple comforts—the warmth of your morning food, the fresh air, or a moment of quiet.
3. Set an intention to find small joys throughout the day.
4. If something went wrong, find a positive takeaway. Ask: “What’s one thing I can be grateful for in this situation?”

 

 

*Jivan Mukth*

Eternal Bliss#Aham Brahmasmi#Tat Tvam Asi#Atma Nityo Niranandah#So-Hum#Im That#Not the Body#Not the Mind#Divine acts thru You#

"Aham Brahmasmi" (अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि)

"Tat Tvam Asi" (तत् त्वम् असि)

"Brahma Satyam, Jagat Mithya" (ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या)

"Na Me Dvesha Rāgau" (न मे द्वेष रागौ) "na me lobha mohau" (न मे लोभा मोहः)

 "Atma Nityo Niranandaḥ" (आत्मा नित्यो निरानन्दः)

Mukthi is not after death—it is a state of mind. One who is free from desires, ego, and attachments is already liberated while living (Jivan Muktha).
 

Gita Verse: “One who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is truly wise.” (4.18)

Realization: "I Am That" (Tat Tvam Asi) - When you fully realize that you are not the body, not the mind, but pure consciousness, Jivan Mukti happens effortlessly. There is no fear, no suffering, only infinite peace and bliss. Even while living in the world, you are free—nothing binds you anymore.

 

1. Realization: "I Am That" (Tat Tvam Asi)
2. When you fully realize that you are not the body, not the mind, but pure consciousness, Jivan Mukti happens effortlessly.
3. There is no fear, no suffering, only infinite peace and bliss. Even while living in the world, you are free—nothing binds you anymore.
4. Abide in Inner Silence (Mouna and Meditation) - Silence the mental chatter and rest in the peace of pure awareness.
5. The more you rest in silence, the closer you come to Jivan Mukti.
6. Dissolve the Ego (Ahamkara-Nasha) - Recognize that the ego is an illusion—it is not your true self. Avoid pride, possessiveness, and the idea that "I am separate from others." Experience oneness with everything.
7. Live with Compassion and Selfless Service (Karma Yoga) - Realize that "I am not the doer", the Divine is acting through you.
8. Practice Equanimity (Samabhava) - Accept joy and sorrow with the same attitude. See all beings as equal and divine. Stay centered, whether praised or criticized, whether in comfort or hardship.
9. Master the Mind (Manonasha – Dissolution of the Mind) - Train the mind to stay in the present moment.
10. Detachment (Vairagya) - Understand that all things are impermanent and true joy comes from within. Live in the world but remain unaffected by its ups and downs (like a lotus in water).
11. Surrender to the Higher Reality (Ishwara Pranidhana) - Cultivate total acceptance of life’s happenings as divine will.
12. Develop humility and devotion, knowing that the individual ego is an illusion.
13. Self-Inquiry (Atma Vichara) - Follow Ramana Maharshi’s method of self-inquiry: Ask yourself, "Who am I?" Realize that you are not the body, mind, or emotions, but the eternal consciousness (Atman). 
14. Drop attachment to false identities (name, role, ego).

What I love about my job?

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.

We have virtue and excellence as we have acted rightly.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said and did but never forget how you made them feel.
