The art of decision-making involves merging clear reasoning with intuitive insight, allowing us to navigate complex situations with confidence. In essence, this involves—examining available information, foreseeing potential outcomes, and harmonizing logic with personal values and priorities. By thoughtfully balancing these factors, we can arrive at choices that not only solve immediate issues but also lead to long-term growth and fulfilment.

Thus, i must ask your 𝕥𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟, as you read the following::: 🍀All our decisions/choices stem (originate) from the 4 sources/faculties: * 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 * 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 (Intuition or Knowing) * 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰 (based on facts) * 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗮𝗿 (past impressions) 🪻If you take a moment before making a choice, you will find that your every decision/choice is powered by one (or more) of the above 4 sources. Let us explore all four of them one by one. 𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 It is the soul's energy to act-out the thoughts. Emotion is 𝙴𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚐𝚢-𝚒𝚗-𝙼𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 (act). There are 𝟓 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 using which we act and make decisions: 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝘼𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧, 𝙂𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛, 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙮. Ultimately, all these emotions are sourced from and are based in 'love'. All of them ARE love, when they are 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕚𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞. 🌸When you act purely with 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, you must be very careful and make sure that you are not guided by them alone. Emotional-choices often 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, but 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Hence, make sure that you mix your emotions with one or more of the other 3 faculties (intuition, knowing, sanskar) 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 (Intuition) ✶𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Intuition is the "inner knowing" or "guidance" that arises beyond logical thought, often described as a gentle, yet clear sense of truth. Intuition is also 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, voice of god—offering 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 in a way that transcends the rational mind. 🌈When you act from the "gut feeling" you are making better decisions for your spiritual journey. Such choices may take you to a path with 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬, but assures you 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 and 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗜𝗖 ✶𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: In decision-making, logic refers to the systematic use of '𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨' to evaluate information and reach rational conclusions. It is based on evidence, recognizing patterns, and following clear steps to ensure that one’s choices are coherent and consistent in objective analysis rather than emotion or assumption. 🍎When you act with logic, you are "playing safe". Decisions based on rational thinking would (most probably) not bring you to harm. But here one must take care—as rational decisions often compromise the 'heartly desires'—and therefore making all your choices with a rational mind will not help you living your life at its best, as it sometimes hinder our 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 and keep us from many of 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞'𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. Most times, being brave, having faith on god, and 'trusting the process of life is the challenging, yet the shortest way to a speedy spiritual growth. 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 (Sanskar) ✶𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Sanskara (nature or habits impressed on the soul) is the 𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕥 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕠𝕟 source of our every day choices. It is because the mind is a big 'data centre' which 𝕣𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣𝕤 our past decisions, and 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 makes the 'same' choice over and over again (until you 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 '𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞' the direction of thought, and thus change the sanskaar) 🍁When you act entirely on past impressions (Sanskar), you are driving on 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭. Such choices 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. Thus, if you wish to enhance your decision-making, start with this >> Change your Sanskar 𝐛𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 which are based on a balanced mixture of all 4 sources (right emotion, gut feeling, logic, and past memory) ——————————— 𝗦𝗨𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 We hope you have read and understood all above points. It is important to fully understand the 'sources' of our day to day choices, in order for us to master 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗-𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐. 🌳Now, if you wish to break the cycle of making wrong choices again and again, the simple solution is—𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 '𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬' 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. That is—𝐃𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲. When you start thinking, speaking, and doing things 'deliberately' you begin to hold a 'purpose' behind doing anything. Living this way adds a great meaning and a sense of purpose to life. And this happens naturally when we start living with 𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜. It is as simple as that. The Process Before making any important decision, 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧... Go within and find your intuition, the gut feeling, and 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. ➤Imagine yourself making the choice/decision... Ask yourself "am i happy making this choice" (as if you are talking with your 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 who has already experienced the outcome of that decision) 🌻That is the way to make sure that your every decision, every choice is 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 'where' you want to go (aim), and 'what' you want to experience. Taking a pause is what you must practise.

We pray, and have prayed to God, for various reasons. Praying is a powerful method to reconnect to the divine for a personal purpose, or cultivating faith and hope, or simply showing 'gratitude' for the gifts of life. Praying holds great significance as it offers us a moment to connect with the higher power, God, the universe, or our own 'inner wisdom'. This simple act can foster spiritual growth, provide comfort, and cultivate gratitude—as it allows for reflection, expression of hopes, and release of fears. As a practice that bridges the internal faith with the external reality, praying encourages a sense of purpose, calm, and resilience amid life’s uncertainties.

But all of us will agree on this statement—"Sometimes my prayer is immediately answered, sometimes it takes time, and sometimes it remains unanswered" 🌻But what if we told you—𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬, and that too, immediately (without delay). There is no way God cannot hear or answer our prayers, because we all are eternally (spiritually) 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 to the source (whom we call god). In other words, WE ALL ARE ONE. Then how can you the soul not hear the prayer of your own hand, finger or leg when they are in pain. We are one, eternally connected with the source. ☘️Hearing this, you might disagree (and rightly so). Our every day life here does not aid us to see beyond this 𝕡𝕙𝕪𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝 𝕕𝕚𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕠𝕗 '𝕤𝕖𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟'. And yet (as your soul knows)—there is our 'home' beyond this universe and in a higher realm/dimension where we all are 'one' being, where 'time' does not exist. 🌈There cannot be a delay in God's answer, since there is no concept of 'time' up there. In the soul world, a thought is manifested 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 as it is created. But not here in this world. It takes time for it to come in your real experience here in this world... 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱: A prayer is nothing but a "thought" and for a thought to become 'true' (become manifested), it must undergo a PROCESS... The bigger your dream (or prayer), the more 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 & 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡/𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 it is supposed to take. And of course, praying alone does nothing. It is your continuous effort (𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞) that can blossom (produce) a 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝/result/outcome. Role Of God God (or the 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚎, as many would call) shows you the 'way' and sends you '𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬' that can take you closer and closer to your desire (goal/prayer). All you need to do is—𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 as you are guided by the light of God. Thus, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 becomes the most important 'key' to success. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: Nothing worthhile has been achieved without 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 🪻If you are passionate about something, that something becomes your 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. You no longer care of the 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵 (success or failure) as all your 𝐣𝐨𝐲 stems from the PROCESS. You enjoy the 'process'... We all are undergoing this wonderful process called "𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞"—as we swim through every moment, every day... we GROW as we 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗, 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢. 🪴Yet, do we wait for this process to end? That is—do we wait for our death? No... for our joy is in living this gift of life, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. What are we becoming through this process? No one knows. But this process of 'becoming' fuels our sense of purpose. 𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗥 Yes, it is great to pray. The 'positive' energy of a prayer is sent out to the universe. The process of manifestation begins right in that thought (prayer). It is a '𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝' that will one day grow a tree and bear fruit. So certainly you must 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 that seed (dream) of yours, and 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, as you 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙤𝙙'𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝, 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 & 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 to fall on your seed (prayer). 👉Do not solely rely on prayers.

"𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜" The following was written in response to a query we received on our Samadhan WhatsApp group in Nov 2024. ———————————— 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 Your question is one of the most commonly asked. Every spiritual seeker or practisioner must learn (at some point in life) to 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 their 𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 & 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜—with their 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍𝚕𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚝𝚜 𝚙𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚜. And they must—in order to ensure a peaceful survival. A 𝗷𝗼𝗯 provides the resources for life's maintenance. 🍀But indeed, sometimes, we do feel 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 and 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 working a job, or (in general) doing anything that does not seem to serve our spiritual path and purpose. Does this sound familiar? ☘️If you have the same question, or ever did you go through this phase in your journey—you have reached the right place... God has brought you here. This 𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚢 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 and your fortune have placed your attention to this message. ——————————— 🪴What you are about to read, might sound familiar to our old members of 𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕕𝕙𝕒𝕟. I have written some of this in our past answers/responses. I will provide links to our posts where you can read those answers (links are given--end of this message) 🍁The 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 of this response is this message—"𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭". Reading your message, i pondered whether what title could be given to this question. It occured to me, perhaps "Balance between loukik & aloukik" or "Balance b/w spiritual & worldly life" would be accurate. But as i thought out, i was resassured—nothing could be more accurate than "All life is spiritual" Explanation Life is lived by the soul, the 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭. All our 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (world & worldy experiences) is/are sourced from within. And thus, 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕠𝕗 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖 𝕚𝕤 𝕤𝕡𝕚𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝. 🌿Whether it is sitting in 'meditation' on the top of a holy mountain, or taking a 'dive' into the ocean... doing 'tapasya' for years, or living a life of 'selfless service'... raising the world consciousness, or raising children... writing 'spiritual books' or simply keeping a 'smile' on your face... touching millions of lives, or living a life os 'solitude'... I tell you this—none of what you do escapes godliness, as all of life is a '𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜'. And the aim of this spiritual process, is 𝗴𝗼𝗱-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! 🌻Every day (and every moment) is bringing us closer to our ultimate purpose. You asked "how would i focus on spiritual growth" and we told you this—"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠". Nothing stops the growth. 𝘈𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭. 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀 There must be a careful "balance" as you pursuit worldly things—𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡, 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮, 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, 𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨. 🍎Everyone knows that in order to make spiritual progress, 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 must be maintained. Since any 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 is only possible when we are here (in this world of duality)—as we have nicely explained on our posts: 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 and 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 & 𝗚𝗼𝗱 🍇You have this 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 which probably everyone once had, including me: "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥.
