                                                INTRODUCTION
            first of all i would like to thank all the spiritual masters from whom i have learnt  everything
           about LIFE-LOVE-LIGHT. and  to many writers who kept brushing off the dust from my
           lethargic mind time to time and inspired me to write like them.

            it is almost forty plus years of the journey to this  present  destination of  love and light
            while experimenting  various traditional and non-traditional ways of life to reach to this
            present stage with lots of ups and downs on every front of life be it physical-financial-
            emotional or spiritual.
         
           this book is the essence of all the teachings i got while going through the various stages
           of my journey.
           it is short and simple pointing to the very point-and nothing new than what has been
           said or written by many achievers as the truth has never changed-will never change
           but it is expressed in my way flowing from my inner which is the same offerings but
           different package.
           hope that you like it and helps you to unfold your self  and merge to that infinite
           power which leads you to the blissful journey of this beautiful mysterious life.
           as the title says ONE  A  DAY  i would request all the readers to read one page
           a day only and try to digest it putting in practice for at least that one day if not more during
           normal life of everyday and find out its real joyous  mystery by your self only.
          i have also written this one a day to be real effective.
          thanks for choosing this book to read among many millions floating around.

और  प्रेम  तो  सिर्फ  वर्तमान में  ही होता है

जब  दिमाग  विचारो   से   भरा  हो  तो
कोई  दिशा नहीं  होती या फीर हल  ढूंढ़ता         है

                                    TIME   DIES   ALWAYS  while  TIMELESS  LIVES  FOREVER 
it is well said that the time is a killer
because over a period every thing
dies within the perimeter of time
and with the death of that thing
time also dies as it looses the very
ground on which it existed.

here we are talking about the psychological 
time and not the time by the clock which is
needed for everyday life.

that psychological time keeps dying it self
as it is just a wave of the original timeless
state which the enlightened ones have experienced
them selves-so they keep pointing towards it
in different ways as per their personality.

the tricky part of  time less state is that 
the moment its importance is agreed -
one starts thinking about achieving the 
same or to understand it which is not
possible because the very process of
thinking is based on thoughts arising
from the past or the future imagination
which is accumulated over a period of
time which is a dead thing  against
that live never ending universal energy which
can only be felt and very hard to explain
in the way mind can understand .

and  because of  this problem an old
tradition of  guru came in existence as
it was very difficult to explain this timeless
state of the mind which guruji has experienced
and live with it everyday- that attracted many
curious fellows who were eager to live the same
peaceful serene life  and decided to be the followers
without any logic of mind but relying on their heart
for that powerful attraction of the timeless state.

in today's so called modern time it is very difficult
for most of the people to act without mind's logic
and heart's feeling - 
so that very tradition of  guru-disciple is obsolete 
and new trend of stand alone has emerged which
too is fine as long as it unfolds to the same timeless
state of  mind where mind it self does not exist.

this is that irony of unable to explain- again.

an experience of love is the glimpse of that
                'timeless state'

                            SPACE   CREATES   LASTING   RELATIONSHIPS .
in  the  beginning  of   any  new  relationship
very  little  or  no  space  is  left  between
the  two-due  to  over whelming feelings
and  if  some  one  tries  to  cage  and  protect
 that relationship  it  starts  becoming  stale
due  to the  lack  of  the  space  needed  to  nurture
it  and  gradually  it may  also  die  due  to  suffocation 
while  waiting  to  breath  fresh  air  through  the
space.
so it is  very  crucial  to  have  a  space  inner/outer
between  any  relationship for it to grow strong enough
to last forever.
outer space is very obvious and easily  understandable
that it is not possible  for  any two  or  more lives to be
tied together physically without any space between them.
                              but
many times people do not understand the importance
of the inner space needed by each individuals for their
growth and freedom to flow with the life with or without
the attachments and if that lack of space is ignored for
the prolong time might result in the very end of it -which
was  hold so tight to keep it going...
so if  the importance of the space is understood t hourly
and honored by each-other will result in real lasting 
relationship..
let there be enough space for all to fly  high and yet
remain strongly related to each other for ever.

thanks
harshad.

'PHYSICAL'  NEARNESS  WITH  OTHER  LIVES  CREATES - DEEPER  UNDERSTANDING AND  
AFFECTION  AMONG  ALL  WHICH  MAKES  LIFE  MORE LIVABLE - SO  MORE  LOVABLE  
the reality is that when u r living physically
close to any life -it does create a relationship
between them irrespective of their origination
or category and the relation built due to the
physical  closeness lasts longer and more fulfilling   
which may reduce the urge to run more for outer
achievements.
thus  creating  a  better environment for  a  better
society and a better  world but  it is very crucial
to be aware of  all the  pitfalls of leaving together
and  hold  on to ones individuality which is the door
to that never ending flow of  energy/love-which will  be
gladly accepted by all lives living physically around.
so - if  people leaving far away physically from each
other-they will  have  much  lesser chances of  a better  life.
                     It is human tendency to create the comfort
and  heavenly environment  around their physical presence
which would materialized easily if they dont have to live
far from each other physically as lot of energy is needed
to create that paradise. 
Also it is very important to have enough physical space
between each life to grow.

        HAVE  FEAR ? -D'ONT  RUN AWAY - STAY  NEAR AND OBSERVE WITH FULL  ALERT
            IT  WILL  MELT  LIKE  ICE  BY   THE  HEAT  OF THAT   ALERT  OBSERVATION
running away from any kind of fear or avoiding it
does not allow life to be free to progress as deep
down that fear holds a portion of the life like an anchor
which never let go the life to fly higher for the progress
                                so
unless that fear is understood which is possible only
by staying with it courageously and observe it fully
awakened without any thought which distract the
awareness.
usually most of the people adopt a short cut of
avoiding the fear -substituting with some other
activities and divert the mind from that fear but it
is never eliminated and goes down deeper to stay
and surfaces every time when life tries to move forward.    
                              so
ultimately all the short cuts become longer cuts than it
                          should be.

          RIGHT  EDUCATION  IS  THE  EDUCATION  without  ANY  AWARD or  PUNISHMENT 
very  truly  thought -  understood and  put
in  practice by opening the schools based
on the same policy by the great philosophizer
of  today's time j.krishnamurty. 

if u think  deeply u will  realize that the root
cause of  the mentality to compete-fight-
nourishing ego/fear etc...arises due to awards
given out or the punishment given......
                    because
the  awards  create  greed/desire/ego
                     and  
the punishment create fear/complex....

both of which are like a slow poison
 entered in to children's  mind which
corrupts the  development of healthy
 serene life of the future .                     
             *     *     *
the hardest part for this type of education
is to find the right educators who understand
this process and practice it in their life
                     but
when there is a will there is a way-always.
so let us help in whatever way we can.

WHEN  NOTHING  MATTERS - LIFE  BLOOMS .

this is the essence of  a  practically  lived  life
where lots of  ups  and  down occurred 
where lots of crying and  laughing happened
where lots of  turmoil and peace occurred
where lots of  money earned and  lost
where lots of  relations built and broke
where  lots of  excitement and suppression occurred   
where  lots of  health and sickness experienced
where  lots of   creations and  destruction done
where lots of celebration and mourning happened  
where  lots of running and tiring happened
                        at  the  end
    truth reveled  that ' nothing ' matters 
                            and   
lo !!!  life  started ' blooming ' on its own.

YOUNG  PEOPLE  MAKE  CHANGES  ON  OUTER  SURFACE-LIKE  FASHION,TRENDS  ETC...
                                                                     which  is  temporary 
WHILE  MISSING  OUT  TO  USE  THAT  GREAT ENERGY  TO CHANGE THEIR  'INNER'  SELF
                                                                     which  is  permanent 
it is a big myth prevailing among most
of the people specially the young ones
                       that
any thing to do with the inner or deeper
self can be done at the later years of the life
meaning at an older age which is not true
                           as
the reality is to be one with the deeper self
requires lots of courage and energy which
generally declines as the age grows due
to various factors/circumstances of the life.
                        also
that search for the true self makes life 
much more enjoyable and meaningful
rather than chasing some unreal dreams
and be depressed on breaking up-
losing all that young energy which
could have given lasting peace and joy
instead of restless mind running after
another unreal dream of achievements.
                    unfortunately
most of the education institutes teach
to chase-compete-fight to achieve outer
world while missing out on the very
                       source
of the energy which fuels the strength in
the young ones of which they are totally
unaware as it is never taught by the educator.
                           so
it should be most important/integral part of 
the education system to teach also how to go 
               inside and find out
the 'truth'-  the  way it is taught to
 go out to find the facts of outer world.
                           then
only it is a real complete education for
                    beautiful earth.

AS  THE  TIME  FOR  VACATION  IS  A  MUST  FOR  PHYSICAL  AND MENTAL  HEALTH
                                                            so  does
THE  TIME  FOR  'SATSANG'(SPIRITUAL COMPANY)  AND  'ASHRAM'(MONASTERY)  IS A  
                                                             must
                                       FOR  THE  SPIRITUAL  HEALTH .
an atmosphere created by many  like  minded
individuals seeking  the same spiritual connection
does make a lot of difference in the spiritual progress
of  an individual because of the collective action
which charges the the surrounding that works as
                          the  catalyst
and the place like this is 'ashram' where seekers
get together and are guided to a serene life.
          *     *     *     *     *
while 'ashram' is a little  longer period-time wise
and  is a kind of  permanent  place
'satsang' is a shorter versions of  get together
for  the same  spiritual learning for a shorter
period -time wise but more frequent and at
different places.
          *     *     *     *     *
both of  above  are very important to understand
the life in depth and improve its quality by moving
beyond the "sos" and bloom  like a flower.
                            and
in every corner of the world both of the above
are always there-it is a matter of interest
and u  will definitely  find it to go to.

so take out some time and begin the journey
to the 'satsang' and 'ashram'for the blissful life.

ALL  NEW  ARRIVALS  BRING  HAPPINESS  be it  PHYSICAL - MENTAL  OR  SPIRITUAL.
                                                               provided
WE  ARE  COMPLETELY  OPEN  TO  RECEIVE  IT  WITHOUT ' SELECTION  ' 

'selection'  is  done  by  mind  as per its ,cultivation 
which  has  yes and no-good  and bed -black and white etc..
                                  and 
life  is much larger than a cultivated timid mind
who offers novelty every moment if u r receptive
                      without 'selection'
to enjoy and have that happiness which is in
                            abundant
everywhere distributed by that universal energy.
                                   by
'selecting' your method or material for happiness  
                            you are
fighting with the giant to loose the battle -get
exhausted  and  die unhappy at the end
                           guaranteed.
so  be  'wise'-meditate on the working of  'real' life
and not imaginary by a timid mind to   
                  accept graciously   
what that giant offers new-bees every time
                          and
    be  happy for ever after that.

IF  U  EXPECT  'ANY THING'  OUT  OF  YOUR  LOVE  
FOR  SOME ONE  OR  SOME THING 
 IT  IS ' NO  LOVE'  AT  ALL .

when  u love some one and expect them to love u in return
                                  then
what is the difference between paying for some thing and getting return .
                                  also 
when u pay to buy some thing- it may or may not have that full feeling.
                                  while 
an unconditional  love  for  some one  is an  over flowing  pleasure from u 
                        expecting  no returns.

if u love some one for its beauty-its a matter of time -when beauty fades
love  fades -is it love ?

if u love some one for money and even if  it stays there whole life[luckily] 
u will be surely disappointed  once u realized that money can  buy only
temporary pleasure and never- ever lasting love which is a real pleasure.   

same disappointment and misery as long as there is a 'reason' for love-
be it power ,position,fame,etc....

actually it is a state of  your being which has to ooze love irrespective 
                                                    of
'                                           'any reason'.

all the talk about love in everyday life is give and take arrangements
made for little a longer term than market place and some emotion attached
to it -which has nothing to do with true love which is a liberating experience
in it self any given time for no reason or any condition for it to be so loving.
                                                     and 
that is the state every human has a potential to unwrap to.

creative action to accomplish any task
be it-writing-painting-singing- filming etc..
gives you a deep satisfaction and  elevates
life to a higher level from the mediocrity 
                       but
unfortunately creative actions are always
put on hold for future to earn bread/butter today
due to the ignorance that  creativity does not feed us
                       yes
it could be little harder and longer to get the results
but creative work will out perform overall from any angle
                 always-always

SO  BE  CREATIVE  STARTING  NOW

                              LOOSE  YOUR  CONNECTION  TO  THE  ROOT  SOURCE -LOVE

                                           DIE  BEFORE  THE  DEATH 

while chasing outer pleasure without awareness
u may loose your connection to the root source-love
and  die before the death.

when u identify your self to the material world
u may loose your connection to the root source-love
and die before the the death without the inflow of fresh energy

when your desires are far fetched and identified with
u may loose you connection to the root source-love
and die before the death deprived of that pure energy

ego and lust for the   luxury cuts u  off  from
the root source of pure energy--love- and u stop 
being live before the real death.

running after the illusory gains and getting exhausted
u may loose your connection to the root source-love
and die before the death.

SO  HOLD  ON  TO  THE  BASE  -NOT  TO  LOOSE  THE  CONNECTION-LOVE.
