While meditating one day, a voice came into my ears clearly. It said,
“ONENESS is the mother of affection. Those who experience ONENESS,
experience affection for all the kingdom of lives - Mineral, Plant,
Animal and Human.” That day I spent most of my time understanding the
deepness of this thought which sprouted all of sudden. While I was
physically working with people, I was mentally scouting to find how this
statement applies to me and society at large.
People around have been talking much about negatives on the Planet but somehow the earnest urge comes to me to share something which makes us feel positive, blissful and well aligned with the divine. So, thought of sharing few self tested ideas that are helping me to reap the benefits day-by-day in feeling love with oneself, people and the universe. All these experiences are my inner reflections and so can this happen to all of us if we try to connect to our higher self...the self which is the fragment of the Creator of all that is!! There is also a possibility that some of us disagree to my thoughts; I totally accept it as it’s a law of freewill operating.
Once these experiences start coming from inside, we will find no need to know it from outside sources...not from this write-up either. This is an effort which may help us all to work towards the ONENESS factor.
Good Morning! What are you doing young man?
Young Man: (looked up and paused) I am throwing star fishes in the ocean.
Wise Man: I guess I should have asked why you are throwing star fishes in the ocean.
Young Man: the Sun is up and the tide is going out, if I don’t throw them they’ll die.
Wise Man: But young man, you don’t realize that there are lots of star fishes on the sea shore. You can’t possibly make a difference.
Young man listened to him quietly, bent down, picked up another star fish and threw it in the ocean. He came back and said, “It made a difference to this one!!”
That whole incident made the wise man think that he had been doing a futile process all through his life as he didn’t understand the essence of life. He realised that the young man was choosing not to be an observer and watch it pass by instead the young man was choosing to be an ACTOR and make a difference. It is the trait of an observer who feels that things can’t move with his sole efforts and an ACTOR is the one who makes every effort consciously even when there is no support from the outside world. For him, all matters is his true and right intentions realised from inner self and nothing else. Margaret Mead, an American anthropologist averred, “Never doubt that a group of thoughtful committed people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”
So let us all choose to be CONSCIOUS ACTORS creating a beautiful heaven on this planet. Let our efforts make our MOTHER EARTH experience that all her children are learning the ultimate lesson of being ONE...diluting into the feeling of ONENESS. And finally, she could proudly say, “and here lives the GOD...the Creator!!”

- With our positive side, let’s accept our dark side also. Osho said, “Forgive others but more importantly forgive oneself.” No one is perfect and had we been perfect we would have become Buddha. But yes!! This planet is where we all have born to become Buddha. So far, most of us are Budhhas in making. So let’s be open in learning from every action and emotion. But in this whole process, we need to make sure that our actions and emotions should not become a hindrance in others liberty. The moment we learn this, our knowledge about self expands and acceptance for self comes automatically. This is the time when we realise that others have a dark side too. Imagining one’s feeling while being in other’s shoe will helps us forgive others with ease.
- Meditation is one of the most fulfilling ways to experience ONENESS and Love for others. Look to a beautiful scenery of your choice for 2-3 minutes and notice the details of it. Then close your eyes and try to feel that you are that scenery. For instance, a picture of an ocean may let one feel the ONENESS with water by experiencing the abundance or freedom while others may feel the fluidity nature of the water. The experience can be different for all but the objective is ONENESS.
- When you see someone in pain or true happiness, let’s play our role to mellow or amplify it respectively. Immediately after meeting such person close your eyes for two minutes, concentrate on your breath and visualise a beam of white or green light coming out of your heart and entering into the heart of the other person. I recently noted a change in the behaviour of a friend who stopped talking to me due to some reasons; all I did was sending the loving light to her without being biased. She came back to me after one year with no grudges and hard feelings rather our relationship turned out to be more fulfilling.
- There must be cases with all of us when we try being nice to someone who keeps on hurting us repeatedly. And we have tried our best to make up the relationship. At this moment, I would say that every soul on this planet has its own way of learning; we cannot expedite or impede the learning of others until they are ready. At the same, it doesn’t mean that we should stop working for the cause. We need to remind ourselves that people who are hardest to love are the ones who need it the most. So, be more open, compassionate & humble with our intentions for them from deep inside our heart.
- Always be open and all ready to give ‘jaddu ki japphi’ to those who need it. Embraces of love lead to exchange of energies leaving both the parties with feel good factor.
