The greater the expression of your REAL you ,the greater is your ability to manifest and bring about positive changes in this world.
I am a firm believer that one's playing small does not serve anyone.
Ask yourself this ,who are/were the greatest gods and people in history ,the ones who surrendered the most or the ones who did the right things the most ?
Even the "Hindu gods" don't teach surrendering OF principles of truth.
Only the weak personalities surrender truth ,or any of its principles/attributes.

Action in the external ...
Or
Transformation in the internal ...
Surrender in the external ... possibly weakness, maybe, maybe not
Surrender in the internal ... the only way ... self realise
Peace

Update for Shivani ji:
I find that yoga nidra happens better if I do it by observing my breath WITHOUT trying to alter it .It is difficult to do so at first but it gets easier with practice.

Its that old male-principle-female-principle 'dance' thang.
We ( personalities) are all 'female' in relation to THAT Which Is inasmuch as we get all our personal 'power' from and so can only 'live' as extensions/aspects of IT.
I assure your ain't 'surrendering truth' when I say: Go ahead, see how far you get aiming to put a 'dent' (the phrase Steve Jobs unfortunately, mistakenly IMO, used) in ' the river'. LOL |

Re: “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why else even be here?” ― Steve Jobs
Not that I think he didn't accomplish great things mind you, but since all 'things' must/will 'pass', an alternate theory (relating to the idea that the flow of Spirit is potentially at least eternal, would be that Steve Jobs' personality was 'here' (i.e. in this universe) to possibly learn spiritual 'humility' - sort of along the lines of "Every one that exalteth himself shall be abased." From Jobs' bio on Wikipedia: "Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in 2003. He died at age 56[!] on October 5, 2011, of respiratory arrest related to the tumor."
The above proposition is just a theory now. But it may be worth seriously considering, I think, in light of how Alexander the Great died as well: see https://www.ancient-origins.net/news...r-great-001213 |

Yes, everything is fine. I am just taking a short break from this thread while I wait for you to do everything you have to do and have caught up with all of the recommendations I have made...However, I beg your patience at this time.

As for getting blessings from Shiv-ji, try fasting for 16 Mondays.

Shivani Ji,
Update:
I am about to complete the Svetasvatara Upanishad and I got to learn so many new things from it. Patanjali Yoga Sutra is about to be completed as well(the last chapter is remaining.).
Also wrote the first chapter of our book. The chapter is almost complete and I only have just one question that I wanted to ask Shiv Ji when I have the opportunity next time. Only one question and the chapter will be complete.
P.S. The question is about spirituality only, nothing wrong or secret information.
