Thoughts By Bijay J. Anand

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    I never planned or
     worried about my
     
    future

    I was too busy living
     in the present..

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    If you KNOW IT..
     that you will find what you’re
     looking for

    If you BELIEVE IT..

    If you know that you DESERVE IT..

    I swear to you
     that the magic you have been
     waiting for WILL HAPPEN..

    The UNIVERSE has its own timings..

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The more you ‘fit in’ with
     Society,
     The less you will ‘fit in’ with
     existence

    When you are a Buddha,
     Jesus & awakened one,
     you become a threat to
     politicians & religious heads
     who thrive purely on people’s
     ignorance

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    We think that we are
     horses galloping towards
     the finish line

    In reality…

    We are ants trained by
     religion and society to
     walk in a straight line

    Feeding into ‘The Matrix’

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Let’s raise children who can
     name plants & animals
     Not brands & celebrities

    Children that love
     themselves & nature as one
     and…
     not identify their happiness
     with fame and fortune

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Happiness is not about getting
     all that you want

    Happiness is about
     enjoying all that you
     already have.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The deeper the faith and belief
     you have in your Guru, the more he
     is going to be able to protect you,
     guide you & grant you your wishes
     & desires
     This is not because he is magical,
     divine or powerful
     It is your own faith that makes this
     magic happen every time
     All you need to do is work hard on
     finding that pure, enlightened and
     compassionate soul that you can
     absolutely trust

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Diamonds are only formed under
     PRESSURE

    Grapes have to be CRUSHED to
     make wine

    Seeds grow into trees when
     they’re buried in DARKNESS

    If you’re living under PRESSURE
     feeling CRUSHED or in DARKNESS
     remember.

    HARD TIMES ARE YOUR BEST
     OPPORTUNITY TO GROW,
     ASCEND & EVOLVE

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    FORGIVENESS is the perfect
     liberator..

    It sets you free

    It brings you peace in your
     heart, joy to your soul &
     God in your life

    Forgiveness frees you from
     your past makes you see life
     in it’s divine perfection

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    DON’T WORRY

    Whatever you deserve,
     is coming your way..

    KARMA is the best
     bank manager in the world

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The more honest, pure &
     enlightened you are…
     Less people will appreciate you

     The more dishonest, untrue &
     stupid you are…
     The more people will feel
     comfortable in your presence and
     embrace you

     This phenomenon is called
     ‘Society’

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    How great do you feel when
    you wake up from a
    nightmare realizing that it
    was just a dream that you, in
    your sleep thought was real?

    When you achieve
    enlightenment, it’s the same
    feeling

    You realise that it was only
    an illusion, a nightmare &
    that you’re going to be fine
    now. You’re taken care of..

    The sooner you realise that
    success, fame & adulation is
    your ‘Golden Cage’ & wake up
    from your ‘sleep’, the sooner
    you’ll find Bliss, Peace & Joy
    in your life…

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    There is a voice that
     whispers in your ears
     all of the decisions you
     should make, the path
     you should choose, the
     relationships that you
     must cherish

    Listen to that voice

    Always

    It is the voice of your
     guardian angels

    The advice that this
     voice gives you is better
     than that given to you
     by your parents, family
     and friends

    It’s called INTUITION

    Surrender to this voice

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    I can only plant the seeds

    It’s up to you to flower or not

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Never try to be ORDINARY

    KNOW that you will be GREAT

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Be very careful about who you hurt

    You don’t know which Gods and Angels are guarding them

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    You can’t leave a toxic and painful relationship

    but

    if you don’t heal what attracted you to them,

    you will meet again and again and again

     

    The same demon in a different person

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Healers are neither Gods nor Magicians

    Their unique gift is to be able to trigger within you,

    your own unique ability to heal yourself

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Never hate anyone

     

    The good people love you and make you happy

    The worst ones teach you a lesson

    The best ones give you memories

     

    LOVE EVERYONE

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The only reality in life is loving, learning and caring

    Everything else is a waste of time

    and keeps taking you further and

    further away from your own truth.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Your body stores all of your emotions If you bury your pain, grief, sorrow, stress  and anxiety in your body then you're using your body like a coffin   Should you decide to heal your soul.. Your body turns into a reservoir of cosmic light Wherever you go you spread love, light and joy   Don't use your body like a coffin Go back to being the divine being that you always were   Humme Hum Brahm hum

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Both, God's creation and this world are perfect as they are Suffering and pain is a consequence of ignorance, arrogance and a weak mind

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Everyone goes through pain Hearts that are scarred the most are the strongest Hearts that have forgiven, forgotten and healed are the most beautiful   Remember...   In the very act of loving, lies your own healing

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    There exists no perfect man nor a perfect woman   It's how much ever you work on yourself that makes you deserving of being in a situation in which you have healed so beautifully that you attract your perfect soulmate

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Problems, stress and difficulties are our best teachers   Remember..   Without pain, anxiety and suffering there would be no learning, growth or evolution

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Not so long into the future will people realise It was never about wealth, power and success Life is far more meaningful and beautiful than that

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Liberation is the day you realise how inconsequential you are It sets you free to do less important things that are actually more important

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    There’s profound maturity and wisdom in allowing the child in you to remain alive

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Difference between religion and spirituality.. In spirituality there is no right or wrong. Everything that you do or wish to do is part of your journey. For the enlightened, every desire, action and the consequence thereof is a part of his journey to learn, experience and grow. Religion puts your soul in chains while spirituality sets you free.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    In your spiritual journey a few pure, joyous souls will see your radiance & love you for it but those who are unhappy and miserable will loathe your bliss and use every opportunity presented to them to bring you down. The higher your state of evolution, the more nastiness you will attract There are no exceptions to this rule.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The principle difference between ‘normal’ people and enlightened souls is that the former know what they want, know what they have to do and are constantly ‘trying’ to become happy. Enlightened souls simply follow their intuition, want nothing, do nothing except what that moment demands of them and are in a constant space of bliss.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Sit on the donkey & they brand you as cruel, Walk next to the donkey, they laugh at you. Carry the donkey on your head & they call you a lunatic. And we spend our entire lives trying to ‘conform’ to society & be a part of this circus.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Criminals and criminality is the response to everything that’s wrong with our society. 1% of this worlds population own more than half of global wealth, a new billionaire every 2 days, while the poor become poorer and unemployment increases by the hour. This flagrant inequality is what is wrong with our society and criminals and criminality is the result of it.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    In life, I personally don’t see any point beyond learning more, traveling more, sharing more and loving more. Everything else is a filler.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Know more so that you may fear less

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Waste not your life looking for a perfect spouse seek one who accepts you with your own imperfections

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    I’m a simple, ordinary man I dare to dream to change this world

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Stop telling me what is wrong with this world Tell me what YOU are doing about it

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    It's good to have a fighting spirit but sometimes you need to just sit back & watch the problem. Don't need to fight every battle to win it.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    I live inside a dance Everything is exactly as how it should be

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Being spiritual does not mean being positive and in bliss all the time. Being spiritual is to be authentic. Spirituality is about finding your true nature, recognising your flaws and shortcomings, knowing what needs working on and then working towards that goal of self purification. And if in between all of that you feel like saying fuck it. Then just say fuck it.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    A teachers job is never an easy one. Nobody really wants to hear the truth. Neither about the true essence of life nor about themselves. And yet, an authentic teacher does what he has to, says what he has to. Teaching is not a popularity contest. The endeavour is to help save souls and lead as many as you can towards the light.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Everything in life is energy. We are constantly absorbing energies that flow around us and we are constantly emanating energies from our own self that flow into the universe and generate vibrations. Now we have a choice. We can choose to absorb only those energies that are positive, loving and beautiful and we can choose to send out vibrations that are full of positivity, love and divinity. Remember, whatever the vibrations you give out in the universe eventually find their way back at you.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    “There are three types of temples in this world. The first temple is your body, the second is your home and the third temple is the one where you go to pray and make your connection with God and Divinity. Respect, take care of and cherish each one of these three temples. They hold the keys to your health, happiness and prosperity.”

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The fool chooses success and material gain as a goal, The intelligent one chooses happiness, The sensible one chooses self realisation and inner peace. The wise one seeks Nirvana, Samadhi and Unison with the Divine. And yet the wisest one of all chooses to choose nothing. He knows that he just has to be, In the silence and the quiet, he will know, Know what he has to do, What needs to be done, For he is connected with his karmic vibration, That leads him on to the path that he must take. Shows him what he must see, Teaches him what he must learn, To be what he must become, and reach where he must go. The wisest of all don't choose a path, They follow the path that is in front of them, They only follow their intuition. The universe does the rest.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Every human being has three graphs in their lives. 1. Health Graph 2. Wealth Graph 3. Happiness Graph It is impossible that any single human being is blessed with these three graphs on an upward slant all their lives. No one can have a happy childhood, a happy youth and a happy old age. No one can be born rich and get richer for the rest of their lives. No one can be healthy when they were little and keep getting healthier till their death. A lot of suffering, sorrow and pain can be eliminated from our lives if we accept this universal truth. If we develop the capability to look at a calamity in the face and recognize it as a temporary blip in the graph and know it to be a passing phase, we generate the will power and strength to ride over the biggest of challenges and emerge victorious.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Of course, you cannot kick a block of wood. Kicking an inanimate object shows that you have the spite inside of your heart to be agitated, violent or spiteful. This is not good. The entire universe is energy. Everything in this world, including human beings are made up of billions of cells. Even the block of wood. It has a life of its own. The wise respect and care for everything around them. They are gentle and kind. They see life in everything.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    You never step into the same river twice. The only thing that is constant in this life is change. Do not fight change. Accept it. Embrace it. Those who fear change, fear their own failings. The good take on life chins up and fearless, bright, shining eyes.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Live your life like a feather. Be light. Be free. Free to fly wherever the winds of life take you. Free to live an adventure. Free to live in tune with the cosmic vibrations of love and harmony. Let the feather be your truth.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    I don’t decide what happens in my life. I allow my life happen to happen to itself.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    We all go through pain in our lives It is our reaction to our pain that defines us Gives our soul it’s unique character We could fight crisis & bemoan suffering We could curse our plight & ache in the sorrow. Or We can take the punch chin-up, Accept Challenge the situation and charge ahead Knowing that there’s light at the end of the tunnel Seeing it Believing it Manifesting it Making it happen Who we are is what we become in times of suffering In the shadow of that suffering we find our true identity In the cry of that pain we realise our own divinity For those who choose not to rise above For those who choose to remain lost in the tunnel There can be no hope No salvation Because pain and suffering are the only steps offered to us that we may climb to reach the pinnacle of spiritual growth and Bliss and Happiness and Freedom

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    This universe of ours, our earth and everything in it has the same pulse, the same beat and the same vibration. When we are born, we are in sync with this divine energy. The further you move away from this pulse the more disoriented, unhappy & disconnected you feel. Which is why spirituality is like coming back home. It is your re-alignment with your own divinity. The re-setting of your energy with the energy of the cosmos. Meditation - is the one important key to re-connect with this pulse. Nature - is the second key. Love & Compassion - is the third. Use these keys freely & at will for abundance in your life. Abundant love, abundant joy, abundant happiness. Bliss follows.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The Complicit Observer There are three layers of attachment in this world The worst and the most common layers are our emotions of greed, anger, lust, grief and jealousy. The second layer of attachment is our love for the material. Our luxuries, owned or coveted. The third and the lightest layer of attachment is the love and affection that we have for those we cherish our parents, our spouses, lovers, friends and children. These attachments keep us attached to the problems, pain and suffering of being human. The worse the layer of attachment you’re trapped in, the worse your suffering. When you cut yourself off all of these attachments you become ethereal, divine, sublime & aligned to the cosmic vibrations of the universe. You cut your soul free from the pain and suffering of life itself. You set yourself free to travel the universe, the heavens and other realms unknown to mankind. The most difficult attachment to let go of is the love of a child. As also the love of a spouse. To let go is not to stop loving. To let go is not to shun, ignore or to forsake. Letting go is just simply becoming the observer. Loving and watching the love, Caring and watching the caring. Feeling and feeling the feeling. Touching and being aware of the touch. All actions have the same depth, the same love and the same emotion, but all are watched, observed and felt as the observer. This is the only way.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    You can spend your entire life chasing happiness or you could live your whole life - Happily

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    The beauty of life is not in searching for that beauty but in being beautiful yourself

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Spirituality is rebellion Spirituality is individuality While religion keeps you bleating like a sheep Spirituality makes you roar like a Lion

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Bliss in love and intimacy arrives not in just loving each other it is experienced only when there is total and absolute surrender to that relationship

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Pain is a constant No soul can live a life without experiencing pain, physical and emotional It is your reaction to that pain that defines you, your life and your future. The wise grow spiritually, the intelligent learn and the lost souls allow themselves to drown in their suffering.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Manifest your destination and allow the universe to get you there. Your intuition and goodness delivers to you the abundance and happiness that you desire. Don't live in this cosmos; dance with it.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Maya keeps us trapped in her enchanted gaze our entire lives. With closed eyes, within the silence of our soul we see clearly, that we already have more than we desire, that we are better than what we wish to be,and that our lives have a higher purpose than we thought.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

    Pain is a constant in life. It is our reaction to pain is what defines us and shapes the course of our lives.

  • Thought by Bijay J. Anand

  • Don’t speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke.
    Your body doesn’t know the difference.
    Words are energy and cast spells,
    that’s why it’s called spelling.
    Change the way you speak about yourself
     and you can change your life.
    what you’re not changing,
    you’re also choosing.

  • If you are sad, be sad

    If you are in revengeful mood, take your revenge

    If you are jealous, be jealous;

    If you are angry, be angry

     

    Never avoid the fact that you have to live that feeling

    That it is a part of life’s progress, growth & evolution

     

    Those who avoid, remain immature

     

    If you want to remain immature, then go on avoiding,

    but remember.

    you are avoiding life itself
