Stop positive thinking. Stop manifestation to have. Explore a new way to be, by immersion in giving

Question 1:

There is a classic conflict in

A) being content and satisfied (which means lesser action is taken) as the basic needs are fulfilled, and B). pursuing growth with more action, which means more stress, more hard work etc.

This conflict leads to inconsistency, inability to perform to full potential and feeling unfulfilled. What is the way out?

Question 2:

Being a logical person, How does one move from vigyanamaya kosha (which was easy to understand from the head) to anandmaya kosha (which is not based on logic, but on love, connection, peace and operates from the heart).

These 2 questions were contemplated over the last few months, and finally, i have got a direction. which is collated in this blog as my experience.

A couple of hours by the lake: 13 Aug 2023.

On Sunday, in my mind, i was feeling quite stressed out. I could sense it. In the evening, the question i asked is... Is Deven the ceo stressed? Or is deven the father stressed? Or Deven the friend stressed? Which role of Deven is stressed? And why?

Which desire or expectation, liked to which role, is not fulfilled, that is causing the stress within? Unfulfilled desires cause stress, as it's an outcome of anxiety.

So...came to Westin Powai in the evening. A walk by the lake in the garden, soft music in the cafe, a masala chai ... Followed. Two hours well spent.

I Wrote the list of desires that have a gap in fulfillment. This was done for every role. Then Classified them into major, moderate and minor. This gave clarity of the gap. Action plan naturally evolved. The role knows what action to take for fulfillment of the desires. This was the logical part of solving the issue.

The other way to solve the issue, is to make the issue itself irrelevant. The realization came with some more contemplation. I have aligned my desires as the "outcome" of fulfillment to "give" for the larger good. Example. "Having" Sales of x per month is aligned to the "giving" safe spaces at homes, factories and offices in one of our businesses. The desire to give is far far greater than the desire to have.

I left for home then, clear in my head, what is to be done.

Changing the morning routine.

Now a days, In the morning, as i wakeup, i let abundance fill my heart. Not to have, but to give. Earlier i used to affirmations. I am rich. I am happy, i am loving, i attract money. I don't to this anymore.

I see myself capable of adding tremendous value to others lives, consistently. I see myself doing things that are amazing for people around me. I see myself as a giver. I see myself as a medium of giving. A medium to transform the universal abundance to give prosperity, well being and happiness to all. I see myself having all the intelligence, all the strength, all the stamina, all the help to accomplish this purpose of giving. I see myself doing actions by being in the moment and having all the results of adding value. For example in our structural audit work, I visualize our team auditing more and more structures, giving reports that have concrete steps to make the buildings safer for family, staff and guests.

Visualizing this tremendous value addition gives far greater joy that visualizing a larger house, a fancier car, more bank balance for me.

Changing the night routine

At night, i am thankful, i was able to play this role of giving to the fullest. I remember all the moments i was able to add value. Opinions of others, unmet expectations, so called "bad" moments, are not a part of this remembrance at all. They seem to be so far away. Distance. I don't care about karma, salvation, i don't care about experiences, i have no fear of failure. I have no expectations. I only think of value addition via innovation.

This is a new state. A blissful one. Where i hear the aum sound at all times.

As Tony Robbins says. Align to the two needs of the soul. Giving and growth.

I have aligned to giving. Growth follows, as the universe powers it. I only align to giving.

In about a weeks time, this alignment, opened up some new insights.

Aligning to giving is magical: 20 August 2023.

The universe empowers me to fulfill the desire to give. Its like being an operator of a desalination plant. Giving drinking water to everyone is the mission. In the process, i have plenty. To get here, ego has to be zero, roles have to be clear. Its a journey.

Moving from vigyanamaya kosha to Ananadmaya kosha

This was the missing link. Vigyanamaya kosha is based on logic. AnandMaya kosha is based on love. You can only love when you give. Unconditionally. And vice versa. Love manigests as giving. Align to giving. Align to love. Slide into the anandamaya kosha, effortlessly.

Group 1: Body annamaya + Energy pranamaya + Mind manomaya. Group 2: Self vigayamaya + Bliss ananda. Are five levels of our self. organized into 2 groups.

Move from group one to group two. Is the key. Crossing the triade of body energy and mind experiences is the key. Beyond the mind is the self realization of knowing. Beyond the self is the bliss of giving. Beyond that is the real you. The consciousness. All this was known... But the movement to Ananadmaya kosha was not happening.

There is no business to be done in group 2:

In self and bliss there are no experiences. Experience only comes with a change. This state is constant. There is no "business" to be done here. So there are no training programs in this space. It is through self discovery, study, reflection, reading, incidents, insights and learning one moves from group 1 to group 2.

Co-relating to ikigai model

The ikigai model is based on 4 aspects. To discover the purpose... What I love to do, What i am good at, What I make money with and What adds value to the world.

What I love to do, I will be usually good it. That is the easy part.

It took me a while to realise that making money (returns) and adding value to the world are two sides of the same coin. One can not exist without the other.

Every thought is bring me closer and closer to the AnandMaya kosha. I am in AnandMaya kosha with love and giving with abundance. With aum.
