i was barely four when my Father 'Jangu' seeded my impressionable soul with a stark message of stupendous dream-fulfilling power that to this moment, it's immeasurable impact remains emblazoned with reverance upon my brain: "When the sun-fire in your "will" glows strong enough, rivers can be squeezed from a stone."
Water steadily smoothens a stone one is conversant with. That, rivers can and must be wrought from a stone is quite something else.
Like a tiger you hold unsurpassed power, strength and mystery. Huge hidden reserves, surge, silent in you. The life in a tiger and its will to live is unimaginable. Life may leave the tigher, yet, a tiger never abandons life. Such a valiant tiger lies coiled in you; ready to leap in one awesome bound directly onto the back your destiny. You too are majestic and undisputed master of your purpose. Whatever your goals may be, such a supreme confidence is the one to hone, re-sharpen and cultivate to a laser-sharpened point.
To find a compelling future, pursue your present-moment goals with ferocious intensity. Act, until you achieve. Your resolve must coincide and be constant with your core set of ingrained beliefs. A spirit-self and super-will are there for each of us. What, you shape from these determines your destiny. Any cause for which you hold a "magnificent awareness," and believe with white-heat faith has a potental to catapult you far.Be hundred percent sure of your magic, inside.Now-ness, is magic. Millions nurse a flickering dream but never stoke and ignite it til it bursts into an unstoppable far-spreading flame.
Merely musing i-wish-had, i-hope-to will accomplish nothing concrete of their own. Think, how will you know if you can paint that picture, run that Marathon, start that long-desired business, earn that degree, orate that speech, write that magnum opus, win that race, bake that beautifully-made souffle; catch that long-dreamt fish; or build that doll's-house cottage, unless you gird yourself and START here-now.
Your "willingness-to-do" and resolute "yearning-to-be" cut across all lines. The indomitable "I-can I-will" spirit is the greatest common factor in varied accomplishments be it earning a PhD; aiding destitute children, becoming a Five-star General, or riding a winner at Churchill Downes. Most vital is that you must INTEND it deeply. That un-bending INTENT in you is a most powerful self-operative generator, to urge you on. Give yourself the key permission to thermal-dive headlong into the slip-stream of what you yearned-for; and believed you wanted more than anything else in the world since you were four.
You, are opportunity, and you must knock on the window-pane leading to your destiny. In 1942 imagine if Colombus had said: "The weather is treacherous and stormy. Better to abort sailing out till it clears." Do not surrender to your dificulties. Instead with a stoutest heart follow with diligence the star-lit path of your myriad assets. Expect, at all times greatness from you. Settle, only for the finest life has to offer. It is your heritage and divine destiny that tells you to think well of yourself. The next time you catchyourself daydreaming about someone or something coming to you, stop yourself, and resolve to do yourself whatever is necessary to bring it about.
For the world to beat a direct pathway to your door-step, it can ONLY do so after it discovers who you are. Where you can be reached. You, dear reader must first let it know you are here, and that you are eager to give off your hard-learnt talent. Instead of relying on luck, go-ahead and make your own.Your talent may be enormous. Yet, talent and potential un-anounced to the rest of the world is wasted. Resist the tendency that things will happen and instead "make-them-happen." A great feeling to cary is that the centre of the universe, is, in your heart. You carry that point wherever you go.
Above all during trying times do not stop trying.
The world's greatest-ever tap-dancer to this day arguably, remains, Fred Astaire. In 1933 the M.G.M. casting Director wrote these deregatory lines about Astaire: "Can't act, slightly bald; can dance a little." Imagine if Fred had taken those lines to heart?Remember, you do not fail at anything. You, are producing different RESULTS.
I derive encouragement from I.B.M. founder Thomas Watson's; "To succeed double your failure rate." I might add to that, don't repeat the same failure more than once.
Fortune favours the prepared mind.

AUM SAINATH: JUST "ONE" IDEA
Virginia Woolf, once said that the challenge of a writer, was not to change the world, but provide each reader with just "ONE" all-provocative thought to write down, place upon their mantle-piece, or, mull over and eschew in mind.
If, you have found even One life-changing spark to contemplate upon, from our time together, you are off to a splendid start. A launch to the transforming authenticity in you. A single such spirit-spark, is sufficeint to take in, on any given day.Friends, often ask which my best-loved books and influences are. Your eye and memory for everdday detail via the intimacies of experiences must combine to become an unforgettable memorabilia. A timeless idea breathes one trait, that ordainary ideas might not. It does beautifully a single thing of unparalleled significence: Great ideas seep, deep, down into ones bones. It takes many years to get the sound out of our system; the sight out your eyes. Or, the smell out of your nostrils. Nor, yet the memory out of your mind. A good enough idea in the long run finds its own readers. People who believe in it because they cannot help believe it.
Remember, you need not attempt to use all the myriad pathways and ideas to success. Walking down just one fir-lined trail, most meaningful and conducive to your growth may be all you need, to elicit constant encouragement, and work wonders in your life. Do not be too concerned if the flames of your desire give off little heat, as you begin. Their temperature will rise, gradually, as you begin to recognize how you can still accomplish in the moments with you.As you come to more fully appreciate thoughts power to draw, you come to a deeper intuitive aware-ness; an iridescencnt spectrum. An explosion of colours never-before-witnessed. Some, use these strands with the time alloted to create remarkable structures that glow phosphorescent. Luminour lives that inspire, instantly.A mere touch, and one is re-charged. Such ones hold the lightening-rod that activates and governs a forward-seeing momentum and progress. A super-natural cosmic energy crackles a response in all they touch, say or do. As though the God's shower them with a hidden secret power.
Your, own, "response" to life's experiences is what ultimately matters. Life, is determined at the sacred confluence of your response. The re-play of each response, that you entertain, is the are to remain watchful of. For instance you may not be happy with the 100 golf-ball shots you executed. View, them in perspective as 100 seperate RESULTS.
So re-view every thought as a response. Your response-mechanism is the only quantum that may be off-balance, within. Power at all moments surges with you. So irrespective of your situations, your response alone holds awesome potency.Find out your constant inner response. The dialogue might take you by surprise.The gift of anticipation and suspense remains a cherished gift available to us. The unexpected, makes our lives more invigorating. In the next all-pregnant moment anything could transpire, to change the entire direction of your life powerfully. Trying to imitate another, is to miss the soul-ful magic in you. Nectar-gathering bees do not plunder flowers. They, bring far in excess to what they appear to take-off with.
Those heaven-sent visitors propagate and successfully re-pollinate myriad meadow-pastures with a profusion of more fructose-filled flowers. You, "sense" the uncanny inter-wovenness, the delicate web-strands of your web-work. Beyond, every plane exists an intangible, not outwardly-apparent, but inwardly-sensed all-encompassing factor: "Character." Most invigorating, all-compelling is the cosmic charge woven-in to character. Be it an emperor, the man-on-the street, or a tramp; character has no favourites. Like the sun it is for all to absorb, inwardly. Character, has nothing whatsoever to do with the outward wealth, or the trappings of power. With this trait you resonate with a diamond-like brilliance. A sharpness, like the sun self-radiates from you.
Through it all things are yours. Without it absolutely nothing, of true long-lasting value can be attained.What Formula 1 is to the speed-aces. Or, opera is to La Scala, character is to life itself... Your inner treasure-trove...

AUM SAINATH: 6-INCHES OF INNER-SPACE
We dream with our eyes shut-tight. However, to dream when they are "wide-open," is what i out-flow to you now. A Rolls-Royce, receives its spark, from deep inside the heart of its cavernous engine. Why, then, does man search outward, when the "spark" of insight dwells, inside?
Through self-mastery over the tiny 6-inches of inner-space in-between the ears you hold the all-compelling golden self-attracting key-insight to every conquest over outer-space. Triumphs, are in your own mind. The crucial count-down is here. Costellations, and star-spangled galaxies, many undiscovered. Of exceptional, beauty spin on an ellicptical course within the reach of your own mind.
Tiny, outwardly insignificent beings, utterly capable of influencing, our cosmos in a manner utterly profound as well. The so-called 6-inches in your mind are never static, or, isolated. They, effortlessly, 'in the blink of an eye' re-connect with the super-conscious far-reaching horizon horizon of infinity. All that you dreamt-of is "drawn", from your in-dwelling horizon vista. The greater part of life, in reality, is an inner-sensed one. A moments mind-ful-ness will reveal life, is lived inside out. Not the other way around. We tend to place greater emphasis on the outer visible world of form. Whereas formidable incalculabe power exists in the metaphysical realm of thought.
Our most meaningful and mystical, absolutely inexpressable truths transpire, and grow, in he feeling inner invisible universe. No man-made meters can fathom what transpires in thought. When a sun-up instills rapture, it is this intangible 6-inch key-spot that "speaks." So astounding is this nebulous realm that one touched, by a certain insight, no matter how fleeting, its charm never fades. Our lifetimes are influenced and imbibe untold meaning from THAT single source: What you tell yourself inside. Touch yourself, inside, but once and you aslo caress in a flash the msterious moons around far-flung Jupiter.Eschew and contemplate for a moment: Situations or circumstances do not empower, deplete, or make you. They, in truth accurately reveal the in-most nature of your thoughts.
Your own "response", to life is the constant link-cord you carry. To make you sense that top-of-the-world elation, or abysmal dejected low. This is the great fertile learning-ground to till, seed, and tend with hybrid thoughts.
Our entire thought processes and feeling are a series of photographic images which flow unimpered through the mind. Our imaging faculty is a process by which we create mental-pictures in our mind's-eye. A process by which you envision and formlate goals within, long before they are actualized.As you read these ideas, image-pictures form in your mind. All that we do, say, read, write, dream, or intuit, evolve as thoughts in mind. Thoughts, form a corresponding mental-picture on our screens. We, produce and direct the pictures that run through our mind.
These, picture govern our attitudesand performance. One truth i have come upon is to keep upper-most in mind a vivid picture of circumstances as you actually want them to be. We, often do just the reverse.Beyond, everything we are solely responsibe for the pictures we run through the sky-way of consciousness.What is true for you in the quiet of your private heart, is also true for all mankind.
What One who is aware hears, senses, others simultaneously intuit. The most potent source available is the one of Vibrations. The translation of 'Mantra' in Sanskrit is "instrument of thought." All that you are up-to-now arrives on the beam of this key-instrument. Look upon thought as this great musical instrument you are born with. Its strings most sensitive. Through prolonged practise our mind's must slowly be trained, to become like a finely-tuned instrument. Able, to freely vibrate to the hidden primordial impulses that govern the breath-rhythym of our universe. The subconscious must undergo a prolonged learning, until the thinking individual is able to merge, as naturally as fragrance in a lotus. Dissapearing, into the object of his thought, into the eternal.
Directly, into the sacred, reverberating, seed-syllabe, AUM. The truly Great Ones pass through our world, unknown. Such Ones, have assimilated, and so deeply inwardly ingested the sacredness of thought; that should such a One be shut in a far-flug cave and think One clear thought; then the resultant re-echo, reverberation resonance of that ONE thought will ring across the known and unknown universes as a dulcet chime.
Its bell-like vibratory high-frequency ring will journey through the mountain-ranges, plumb the oceans, past the heavens, penetrating the deepest deserts; ultimtely reside as a gift-ray, in-dwelling as the cosmic motor in the heart of man... for eternity.

AUM SAINATH: "BURNING YOUR BOATS"
I could not have understood, let alone fathom, at only eight, what it might mean to speak as a writer speaks. My Father 'Jangu' was an incredible story-teller. My earliest memories of him are of soul-stirring sagas. I clasped with reverance what he said in my heart. Each had a colossal bearing on my imagination. The scenes rolled as a film before my mind's-eye.
Those stories fertilized my spirit, urging it through wonderment into never-before-witnessed avenues of thought.Through ones capascity of reverance, myriad such stories heighten ones perception in an unparalelled manner. The osmosis, the heightened force with which words can impact and influence a readers mind are altogether incalculable.
One sees life in a way, one could not otherwise have seen it. In some unexplainable way, to this moment, his seed in me arouses a need to expect the spectacular.The oft-spoken term, "burning all your boats" is inherently path-breaking, and a sure-fire way. There is a method to what at first appears as absolute madness. This "do-or-die" spirit-filled way speaks of "all" or nothing at all. All the way is the only way. Similar to what great mountaineers, often, do. Placing themselves in a precarious death-defying position from which there is no going back. Retreat is summarily cut-off. From this vantage watch-tower in spirit, "failure is never an option." Upward, forward, higher, onward the only choice. Yes, its a strategy that entails extreme peril.
Too many choice, options, dull, retard and oxidize ones forward-seeing, spirit. Dampening the in-born coil-spring of momentum. Making one lakadaisical. Once youclear any cob-webs of self-doubt, where there is no-way: You make a way. Your mental bridge-building capascity is what counts, most. So, you formulate and find your own trail-blazing path. One unique and your own.
If at the beginning the results are les-than-dazzling do not despair. In time like a sure-footed mountain goat, via your uncanny Senses beyond the Sixth you will derive deep-felt relish from surmounting, and transmuting near-terrifying problems to your supreme advantage. Scaling any high-perching problem crag from an all-new mental approach.Here, is an all-classic most compelling example to illustrate pointedly a formidable "hydrant of power" that you can tap-in to at will. Its secret in-flow pumping swift-flowing rivers of courage, fortitude and forebearance through your veins. As a steady copious readily available stream. Making you virtuall, invincible. You come into direct, personal, contact with your blessing-bringing powers.In this aroused state you can move a mountain-range, aside. On the astral-beam of inspired thought.Whenever you are faced with a cronic life-threatning problem of gatgantuan proportions; or when your back is pinned to the wall recall what i now relate to you.
The Romans were far out-numbered by the Saxons. On a craggy-lipped cliif of Dover during a fierce and hard-fought battle. Every known chance of survival for the Romans had long slipped away. The Romans took an all-important, life-altering step, that ultimately, turned the course of that epoch-making battle in their favor. The self-aware Roman General commanded the war-weary men to take all the supples ashore. And here was the key-insight he commanded them to follow with stoic diligence: "Burn, every boat." Right down to the last, three-masted galley. The brave men were tongue-tied and aghast. They followed unstintingly the command; setting the high-masted flottila fleet of boats into an un-stoppable inferno. Swords sheathed they charged the Saxons, as one mighty wave.
That dramatic and decisive action turned the day. There was no going back. Failure was never a comfortable option. They were compelled to win. Tyey were immortalized.Such high-spirited, split-second and spontaneously-inspired decisions, will turn the tide of effort in your favor. Decisions are empowering. Life-changing. We, only, regret what we "don't" do, revealed my Father. Indecision is weakening. Hanging between no-where. A dull grey zone that neither knows the jubilation of victory, nor, the whip-lash of an ignominous defeat. When you meet your dangers full-tilt, head-on. Catching your bull by the horns, at times, becomes mandatory.
Gazing past and through any problem. Looking it right in the eye, and exulting: "I'm invinvible. With such an energy flowing through your veins you attain devastating forces to work over-time, aiding you to excel in marvellous manner.This do-or-die mindframe orchestrates the spectacular. A supra-powerful, flame-throwing tongue does your interior furnace of will, throw. A sun-loving spirit such as this terrifyes the living daylights out of any problem. No set-back can withstand such a voltage. The easier way is a misnomer and waters-down your powers, hypnotizing you into mental inertia. Placing yourself into similar states of the unknown will encourage you to plumb more fully these magical half-hidden resources, and superb reserves in you.
This is the area from which your richest rewards will be forth-coming. When you walk up to any shadow, and with deep self-reliance cast a deeply-glowing cone of insight upon it, it melts, into nothingness.

AUM SAINATH: ELEMENTAL ESSENCE
Your river of thought, self-flows. it takes you right to your destiny. All events in-flow this way. A truth of which im certain. Rives, flow to a course known best to them. Originating among ice-clad peaks, melting in spring, swiftly-flowing past firls of wild-growing iris.
Carving, slowly, yet relentlessly a path past the most intimidating craggy-edged rocks.Such a sanguine ever-evolving, stream sings happily; free-flowing past the incalculable latitudes and moraines of your mind.Know, that it is the wish-bone of "super-will" that keeps you alert and going after meaningful things. Its your jaw-bone of "resolve" that aids you ask the pertinent questions necessary to finding your calling. It is the back-bone of gumption and "fortitude" that keeps you stoically at it. Until you self-attract and fulfill every worthy high-minded aspiration.
Reflect, on apowerful truth. One, you have used up-to-now. Perhaps, unaware, of its self-seeking, immaculate working through your life-cycle. When you build-up an intense all-compelling magnificent desire-ray (khwaaish-muraad), you create an unparalled, unfathomable spiritual magnetic force: An Elemental Essence. Your thoughts, via mind-stuff are astoundingly malleable, inherently mouldable. A most pliable, subtlest, all-creative substance is thought.

Carving, slowly, yet relentlessly a path past the most intimidating craggy-edged rocks.Such a sanguine ever-evolving, stream sings happily; free-flowing past the incalculable latitudes and moraines of your mind.Know, that it is the wish-bone of "super-will" that keeps you alert and going after meaningful things. Its your jaw-bone of "resolve" that aids you ask the pertinent questions necessary to finding your calling. It is the back-bone of gumption and "fortitude" that keeps you stoically at it. Until you self-attract and fulfill every worthy high-minded aspiration.
Reflect, on apowerful truth. One, you have used up-to-now. Perhaps, unaware, of its self-seeking, immaculate working through your life-cycle. When you build-up an intense all-compelling magnificent desire-ray (khwaaish-muraad), you create an unparalled, unfathomable spiritual magnetic force: An Elemental Essence. Your thoughts, via mind-stuff are astoundingly malleable, inherently mouldable. A most pliable, subtlest, all-creative substance is thought.

AUM SAINATH: MEANINGFUL PATHWAY: HIGHER PURPOSE
Focus, unflinchingly on the quintessential quest we call purpose (maqsad). Your Raison d' etre or, your very reason for which you are living. Hitch your chariot to the resplendent horse of a higher calling. Such a noble chariot you are destined to operate. Purpose exerts unfathomable self-pulling power.
Your all-white steeds are high-spirited chargers, that prance in unision. When in the inner-knowing of your mind, your horses pick up your every command, instinctively.You can forget to eat. Forget to sleep. Forget whatever you will, and whatever your short-comings, its consequence will not matter. Yet, whatever you do and wherever you roam, in all moments, and no matter what befalls you, clasp close to your soul the superior-most, jewel-bright talisman of purpose.
Purpose, weilds an incalculable destiny-awakening gravitational force-field. Once, in its grip you come into the knowing.A specific duty (farz) is the reason you are here. Some are en-trusted with a purpose, possibly greater, than others. But in esence whatever be your duty it is hallowed and spiritually sanctified. Some are born a with simpler-minded purpose. Faithfully, devoutly fulfilling that assigned purpose with no stone left un-turned is what matters, most.In the Sufi Master Jalal d-Din Rumi's Table Talk there is this fierce, diamond-bright passage. There is but "One Quest" in the world which must never be forgotten. Imagine a king entrusting you with a specific all-pressing task. You, traverse desert-dune, ocean, mountain-peak, and valley-bottom. You remember every other thing, yet, forget the single arrow-sharp point you were assigned. During your voyage had you forgotten everything... your own name, yet remained entwined and super-vigilant to THAT "one-great-task" you will have superbly accomplished what many come here to fulfill, but are prone quickly to forget.
Purpose is the "all-in-one" purpose of our lives.Be-aware that your purpose is most obvious. Once, you heed what the well-marked, self-illuminated, deeply-glowing fluorescent sign-posts along the way-stations are constantly telling you. just as a tigers stripes are embedded into its flaming coat.How will you recognize it, i can hear you say? You, will know instantly. No force on earth will be able to seperate you from a dead-steady purpose. So inter-woven are you and self-mated to your purpose. Have you tried to seperate an wave-crest from the ocean? Does a lark think about where to 'search' for its honey-sounding symphonic scores? Similarly, do you for even a fleeting half-moment, become forgetful of how to breathe?
Purpose is not all-mysterious. It is as obvious as any of Natures myriad beauty-filled wonders.wild-eyed eagles ride the criss-cross currents of thermals on high, effortlessly. They select a slip-stream, instinctively. Never is it the self-rising thermal that 'rides' an eagle. Eagle, choose thermals to suit their self-spiralling high-G dive into the heavens. Life has myriad pathways. Like a sniper, select just One most meaningful to you.
Rivers ultimately pour into an all-embracing ocean. Does the ocean send any river back? You must decide which river, which stream of work you ntend to dive headlong into. Once you make that all-compelling dive, stick by that swim. Honour it. The swift-flowing wave-crests and wave-tops will carry you happily-ever-after to a destiny divine. Get of the safe-appearing river-bank. Take your head-long plunge.Listen-in, to intuitions infllible counsel. Once you do you remain twice-blessed. Your purpose is as unique, as distinct as your DNA. As specific as your thumb-print.
Technique, is never as important as what your heart tells you. Trust that during all moments. As you journey along your path-way all-new insights and a window to perception will 'appear.' Share the sacredness of these nectar-filled moments with others on their paths.Awaken to the marksman in you. Life, presnts may targets. You, must decide the enriching life-affirming ones to super-focus upon. To clear-sightedly zoom-in to. And which to de-focus or zoom-out of.Use your in-built faculty to devastating effect. Re-build, hone and refurbish your God-given stellar traits. Eliminate the negatives, as you would lint off your hand-made European suit. At a picnic when a flys dampen the fun, do we not swot them with singular ease. Do the same with whatever doesn't work for you. Varied perfume-filled flowrs adorn a garden.
Butterflies make their selection with ease. You, too must select your Way-Staions, firmly.Finally. Making up your mind to a laser-point of super-certainty (yaqeen) is definitely the essence of what im focussing your attention on...

AUM SAINATH: Thought-Ray Broadcasting Station
I seek to have a broad-casting station via Times. Where i can pulse and self-transmit life-affirming, time-tested thoughts so as to travel deep down into the hearts of people India-wide. Nothing, i believe, is more poowerful than an idea whose time has self-dawnedThe universe has me twice-blessed. 8-feet of my own intestinal guts are removed after twin life-threatning Marathon surgeries.
Today BEYOND-GUTS, is not just my 1000-page self-help motivational classic. Far far more important is that the subtler doorway, to perception and INTESTINAL FORTITUDE, has swun wide-open. It is this realm that i cherish. What exits, is unimportant, and in fact a blessing. And so Beethoven could listen-in to his immortalized Nineth Symphony, after, going outwardly deaf. I believe through a series of sputnik brightly-glowing thought-rays fired as a sustained salvo via you paper, will set fre the creative fire-fly; i believe when it gets darkest, the surreal self-dazzling luminescence of a fire-fly gets enhanced and accentuated all the more.I also believe this will be a never-before-witnessed column of such exeptional magnificence... something unforgettable.
We are wand-bearers, light-holders in a truest sense. it is my honour and commitment to hand over to the coming genaration some of the priviliges and richness of insight that we inherited from the generation before us. So powerful will such a mental effort be that a proper utilization of these in-dwelling forces of super-will, insight and fortitude, our generation can witness a transcendental forward-gazing propulsion, more profound, than the previous four generations.I have learnt first-hand, that when a truth becomes a part of ones own personal experience, it garners and enscapulates immeasurable, unparalleled, incalculable strength. This, and myriad other far-seeing insights can produce their intermittent fluorescent glow, from a sacred-most lake, deep down in your readers hearts.BEYOND-GUTS, is no mere pretty-sounding metaphor. Its just my own reality. I wouldn't swap places with any emperor. The ability continually channel into diamomd-bright, deeply-felt, stream of inspiration, not somewhere far-flung; but right here within my own heart, is for me a reward richer than the combined South African Diamond reserves.
Difficulty and crisis when viewed in the all-compelling light of FORTITUDE, and God's Grace go on to provide phenominal courage, valour, and that i-can-do spirit; that precious-most willingness-to-dare, which ultimately ushers in a field where pure consciousness blooms. Remember, it is certain, absolutely certain, especially when it seems impossible. Whenever, there is no way, we must learn to open an all-new hallowed pathway, within. Along a pasture-meadow of such exceptional beauty, will man be Graced to walk right up, and indeed, for the first time, shake powerfully the Hands of a destiny immensly beloved and divine...
