From a psychological point of view, letting go and giving up are entirely different and, in fact opposite approaches. Letting Go allows us to free ourselves from things that do not serve us any more. By clearing our minds of these attachments, we can release unwanted emotions more easily. Daaji gives examples of situations such…
As we know, Love and Hate are opposite emotions. Daaji says – while love is blind with attraction, hate on the other hand is blind with repulsion. He gives an example of Laila and Majnu to illustrate how these emotions materialize. If a face appears beautiful to you today – is it due to the…
The desire to be happy is rooted so deeply in all humans. But it remains to be really understood what is happiness and what makes us happy ? Daaji quotes Babuji – A truly happy ;person is one who remains happy under all circumstances. This is possible only if the happiness is unconditional.i.e. to be…
Daaji quotes Swami Vivekanand while describe the role of passion – “No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.” However, the same passion that fuels the drive towards our goals can be both – productive and destructive – leading…
Here Daaji makes a reference to the popular poem by William Wordsworth written in 1807 My heart leaps up when I beholdA rainbow in the sky:So was it when my life began;So is it now I am a man;So be it when I shall grow old,Or let me die!The Child is father of the Man;And…
There’s always so much going on – around us in the external world as well as within our minds. Everything seems to be chaotic and life so unpredictable. So, in this paradox Daaji is addressing the question of how to remain still amidst the noise of the world. He says it may seem challenging, but…

So, tolerance is an internal adjustment that makes us less reactive, allowing us a moment to…
If we want to master anything in life, one of the key prerequisites is discipline. Whether it is learning to play a new musical instrument or studying for that competitive exam, following a certain discipline can take us a long way. Even your day-to-day work at home can be handled in a much productive way…
This is again a very interesting paradox. We find people using these terms interchangeably sometimes. But they have some very distinct differences. Daaji says – duties accompany the roles that we take on, while responsibilities align with our aspirations. Thus, a duty pertains to others, and hence, is perceived as an external obligation. But a…
Daaji says – you are inspired to think and motivated to do ! So while inspiration is always internal,motivation typically involves incentives, some of which are external. Inspiration drives motivation and motivation drives perseverance and excellence. I may be inspired to make a New Year resolution to join the local gym to cut that extra…
