Do we have enough faith to shape our future?

Everyone has Faith. Even though some of us may believe we don’t have faith, we do! We all believe the story we tell ourselves about our future. 

We tell ourselves stories about how lazy we are. We are constantly reminding ourselves about the qualities that we possess and we don’t really appreciate. We complain about being incapable of understanding a subject.

We go on weaving stories about how miserable and inadequate we are; how undesirable we are.

The saddest part is, we believe this unattractively horrible story about ourselves! 

We have faith in how miserable and inadequate we can be! As a consequence, all our energy flows towards creating an undesirable future full of miseries.

The future is unconstructed. The future doesn’t exist yet; hence it isn’t real. It is impossible for us to experience the upcoming future at the current time. 

Yet, we are busy creating our future based on our shortcomings and everything that we want to avoid; instead of creating a beautiful and sustainable future, a future we are satisfied with.

Somehow, we have more faith in our shortcomings than our strengths. We have more faith in ‘what we can’t’ rather than ‘what we want’.

This is the biggest problem we face.

We are busy creating what we don’t want despite being blessed with a human body and the creative capacity to create whatever we want!

Despite having two powers, our birthright is to choose the story or the character we want to be and bring it into existence with inner pulsations.

Just one pulsation of the future we desire puts it on our timeline that is to come. 

If we can shift our faith from ‘what we can’t’ to ‘what we can’ and ‘what we want’; we will notice a vast difference in our lives.

Just shifting our faith from our shortcomings to our desires can bring massive changes to us and our lives. We have the power to make our lives magical.

Anything is possible if we have faith; with the best intentions for all.

We don’t have faith in our desires.

The faith we have in the past notions for ourselves is so deep-rooted that we hesitate to even think about and consider what we actually desire for ourselves in the future.

People nowadays don’t have the time to take a break from the hectic schedule they follow and contemplate what they want, seek, and desire.

Guruji, GURU PASHUPATI finds it amazingly ridiculous that human beings have to be like this.

When we look at our future, we will notice an array of things that aren’t what we desire but what we fear.

To Guruji’s amazement, we are okay with such a future! We have accepted an undesirable future for us with a lack of everything we want and an abundance of everything we don’t want. 

It isn’t wise for a heroic character to conform to such a limited and ordinary future. 

Such stories don’t serve any purpose nor do they make any impact on anyone, including ourselves. 

The menacing faith we have in our incapabilities to build a fantastic future is so overwhelming that it causes us to freeze. 

What we do next is wait and hope that it doesn’t turn out to be as bad as we think.

To be honest, it will be. 

It is simple. Whatever we put in our future timeline is what we will experience in the future if we have ‘faith’ in it.

There are various problems that we all come across.

People get into relationships and after a few days of being intoxicated by a false sense of security, they start wondering if they have made a mistake. They start questioning if marriage is what they really seek.

We hesitate to pivot even after realizing we have not made the correct choice. 

We go on to have children with partners we don’t really like or admire. 

Once we have children, it becomes more difficult for us to make choices and go after our desires because of the responsibilities we are obligated to. 

As a result, we keep envisioning a bleak future not just for ourselves but for our family as well.

All this confusion and stress leads us to seek comfort in what we are usually accustomed to; however bad it might seem. 

We tend to seek comfort in familiarity and avoid the changes we have to make.

With everything going wrong in our lives, we ultimately resort to ‘fate’. 

We wait for the ‘Karma’ to get over which ‘we, in fact, created in the first place’.

It is called ‘Kriyaman Karma’. 

Some people discard their whole ability to create a future they want; to feel that injustice has been done to them. 

We believe this is something we can be angry about.

We say mean words to put down the other person who we believe is doing injustice to us and release some serotonin which makes us feel good. 

This is not at all the kind of intoxication that we should indulge in. 

Fun fact, if we put the minute effort of sitting in the sunlight every day for at least an hour, we will have enough serotonin and we won’t have to indulge in the cheap intoxication of putting ourselves and others down.

The future that we FEAR is one that we have FAITH in instead of having FAITH in the ‘future we DESIRE’.

We look for employment and settle down with jobs that drain us of all our time and energy. Naturally, we start to grow an aversion towards the job we so desperately thought we needed. 

But we have so much faith in what we can’t achieve that we continue to be stuck in the loop and be miserably unhappy.

The moment we start believing that we are incapable of achieving anything we want to, we get stuck. 

We have to grow out of all the can’ts and focus on what can be. There is no other way.

It is foolish to hope that we will find the satisfaction and happiness we seek in a better position; a promotion or a better job.

We fail to understand that it is all the same.

It is us selling our time.

It doesn’t really matter how much money we are making; we are selling our time in jobs that curb our freedom.

The timings of our desk jobs have made it impossible for us to go out in Nature. We have to wait weeks if not months to get approval for a vacation. We simply don’t have the privilege of taking time to rejuvenate and relax. 

This is what actually bothers us; the lack of freedom to make choices for ourselves.

And we believe that we cannot change our circumstances because our faith in what we cannot achieve is unshakable. 

All we do is sit and wait for things to get better. We believe empty promises made by random people on the Internet and join a few random courses hoping it will help us get rid of our problems.

To our disappointment, they don’t work.

It is quite ignorant of us to act in such a way. 

We have to keep in mind that even if someone out there was giving out genuine information and was providing courses that could actually help us, we would not be able to reap any benefit from it solely because our faith in “what is impossible” is so strong. 

Nobody can ‘build’ faith in us.

Faith is something that naturally culminates in us. It is called ‘SHRADDHA’. 

We have to be careful of where we apply our shraddha.

It is necessary to ask ourselves if we are applying our shraddha in the service of our fears or in the service of our desires?

This is precisely what happens in the case of ailments as well.

This is how we die.

Once we are fed up with our bad relationships and our miserable jobs, what we do next is we anticipate a terrible disease to befall us, and guess what? 

That is exactly what happens in the future.

This is mainly because we lack basic knowledge about our health. Even though the human body is super resilient and so adaptable that it has survived ice ages and traveled across continents while inhabiting even the most uninhabitable places of the Earth; it is quite easy for us to lose our health nowadays.

We don’t have optimum health. This is due to the lack of Sunlight in our bodies. Not grounding ourselves regularly by walking barefoot on Earth has also contributed to the fast depletion of our health.

It is anyway not possible for us to go wild in Nature with the lifestyle we follow and the obligations that we are bound with. 

We will have to take everyone in the family along and it will end up in a picnic instead of a trek.

Moreover, this will impact our children as well because they will never have ‘faith that we can change our lives’.

Our children will never understand that ‘having faith is what creates our future’; having faith is what ‘motivates’ us and therefore we must be mindful of what future we are creating mindlessly.

One of GURU PASHUPATI’s students told him that she had gone on a trek for 3 days and all of her medical condition disappeared. Guruji told her that it was the Sunlight that helped and that the symptoms would come back once she returned to work. 

And sure enough, that is exactly what happened. All her symptoms reappeared. Because what was supporting her health and improved it in 3 days is not present in the environment, she works in. 

Sunlight cannot penetrate most office environments. 

It is impossible for us to get better in an environment in which we get sick.

All unhealthy people have immense faith in their idea that it is not possible for them to change their environment.

Even though they fully understand that it is their environment that is making them sick in the first place.

The toxic emotional environment that we encircle ourselves with, the artificial light environment that we think we can’t do without, the food environment where everything is laced with chemicals, the electromagnetic environment which makes us dangerously ill; cannot be the environment where we can have optimal health.

It doesn’t matter how many pills we take as supplements or how many medical procedures we go through to stay fit.

It doesn’t matter if the supplements we consume are ‘Ayurvedic’ or ‘Allopathic’. It is all in vain.

The original texts of Ayurveda were written during a time when people had faith in what they wanted rather than what they feared and they got adequate sunlight and grounding. This is the sole reason why Ayurveda worked in ancient times.

The same principle doesn’t work nowadays because the toxic environment that we constantly put ourselves in cannot be canceled out by herbs. 

We have to move out of the environment in order to eliminate the effects of it.

We tend to overburden ourselves with our bag full of all the things we ‘cannot do’; all because our faith is put in the wrong place.

We tend to simply neglect the endless skies filled with infinite possibilities and desires.

We have lost faith that we can turn things around and make things better for us, all of us. Hence, so shall we reap.

It all comes down to ‘our character’.

A real heroic character has unwavering faith in what he/she desires because it is an integral part of their character.

A character with a grand story and a great purpose understands where to put their ‘shraddha’ or ‘faith’.

That is exactly why heroes are well, heroes. They set their goal and they achieve it because they have faith in it.

Guruji, Guru Pashupati engages in this ‘heroic faith’ every single day. 

If we lack heroism and the mental vitality to be outrageously faithful in our desires, we will eventually be recycled. We will be pushing ourselves towards our demise unknowingly.

This is because it is not what Shakti wants us to be. We are jivas. It is our own ego and negligible understanding of the world that we live in.

Once we begin going after what we desire, we activate ‘Kameshwari’. 

The winds, the vayus, the potential differences, the energy that runs everything in the entire world, the energy within us; everything is Kameshwari.

Potential differences are applicable in every sphere of our lives. There is a potential difference in magnetism as well as electricity. There is a potential difference in any possible field of energy.

Kameshwari can also be described as ‘desire’. It is the ‘potential difference’ in everything around us and within us.

Every atom in the Universe experiences desire. A desire to create something full of wonders.

The Universe exists because of desire. The Universe that we define as ‘empty’ is in fact, constantly brimming and brewing with a desire to create something wonderful and eventually so it happens because of unshakable faith.

The Vayus; the desire that we exhibit is Kameshwari.

The potential difference created by desire is Kameshwari. 

Furthermore, Narayani can be described as wealth that flows towards us. Narayani is the water element that takes care of us and nourishes us. 

However, due to our ignorance, we reject her as well.

Water needs a proper structure to flow. Otherwise, it starts to flow randomly in all unwanted directions. It is the same with wealth.

If we fail to build a proper structure for money to flow or generate wealth, our flow of money will remain stagnant.

Lack of resources leads to disappointment. Lack of money also causes us to be fearful. We constantly have to walk on eggshells hoping we don’t make a mistake. 

Guruji, Guru Pashupati emphasizes the importance of money with the help of an encounter. Guruji had once agreed to help out a fellow who came to him for help. However, nothing that was provided in the course helped him which caused him to be enraged. 

Guru Pashupati says we have to put in the work for Yoga to work. We cannot expect to get results without putting in the work. It is not that ‘Yoga’ doesn’t work; it is ‘us’ who refuse to put in the effort. 

Guruji doesn’t entertain people who are unwilling to put in work and effort into learning Yoga and he has great faith in what he desires.

The question is, what about us? 

We have to ask ourselves the question regarding the structure of the flow of wealth in our lives. It is necessary for us to make a structure for a perennial river of cash flow. 

When we have faith in our future and our desires, it creates a wonderful feeling of expansiveness.

This faith allows us to experience the rays of divinity in our future. 

When we begin creating a future we desire; with the belief or the faith that it will be just how we envision it to be, even though we don’t know how, we will be showered with rays of Grace by ‘Rashmi’ Devi. This is quite detailed in the ‘Rashmi Mala Stotram’ which was written by Parashurama.

It is beautifully written that when our eye gets activated and we have a clear vision about our future, rays of grace start falling upon it. 

The future we have faith in gradually begins to take shape into reality. 

And then comes ‘Bhuvaneshwari’. 

Bhuvaneshwari can be described as the environment that we create for us; the ground we stand on. When we have faith that the current environment that we are in can change, the ground we are standing upon changes. 

Our environment is Bhuvaneshwari. We must be wary of how we maintain her. Whenever we fail to create and maintain a beautiful environment for ourselves, we are insulting Goddess Bhuvaneshwari.

Guru Pashupati mentions that as Jivas we possess innumerable powers but we fail to use them. Instead, we abuse them.

We have the power to shape the future we desire. 

When Narayani flows in every place giving us, energy creating a potential difference along with the Vayu which is Kameshwari, it gives rise to ‘Vajreshwari’.

Vajreshwari is basically the lighting in our body. As per e=mc^2, the average human body has 7.8 septillion Joules of energy. 1 Kilowatt=1000 Joules. 

The amount of energy that the human body can produce is equivalent to Lightning.

Guru Pashupati has witnessed Yogis create Lightning in the mountains with the help of meditation. 

Guruji has experienced Vajreshwari inside him as well. A flash of tremendous potential of energy almost equivalent to lightning in the skies flowed across his body. 

Such an unfathomable amount of energy transforms the body into one that goes beyond the limitations of food, aging, and death. 

This is a higher, much more advanced, and visible form of SHAKTI. 

Many people come to Guru Pashupati asking for a Shaktipaat to raise their ‘Kundalini’; without being accustomed to the other Devis. 

Most of us seek Vajreshwari and pay no heed at all to the effort and the work we need to put into it for us to be entitled to it. 

None of us is entitled to anything, we must put in the necessary work.

The Kundalini is ‘lightning’ in our body. However, it cannot be risen, nor can it be made. 

Yoga is extremely extensive and immeasurable. There is so much for us to learn. Undoubtedly, there are great powers in Yoga. However, to begin with, we must let go of all our fears and start putting our ‘shraddha’ and ‘faith’ in our desires. 

It is beautifully written in Saundaryalahiri; Shakti dances with joy when we take cognizance of her. Having faith in Shakti and praying to her for a tiny bit of grace can work wonders.

Jesus said rightfully in the Bible, “Faith can move mountains.

Having faith, the size of a mustard seed, and a little grace from Maa Bhavani, from Shakti is enough for us to turn our life around. Remembering her with a sincere heart is enough for her to shower us with grace. She will bless us with everything we can ever ask for. 

For all of us who don’t have faith, we must ask for grace. 

Grace the size of a ‘button’ is all we need.

Nothing in this world is run by us. It is our ego that makes us believe so. We don’t really have to struggle; all we need is faith. 

We must direct our faith and energy into what we can achieve rather than what we cannot.

Faith is abundant in us; we just need to change sides and choose to have faith in our desires instead of our fears.
