Aatam Shakshatkar: आत्मसाक्षात्कार
by Dada Bhagwanजीवमात्र क्या ढूंढता है? आनंद ढूंढता है, लेकिन घड़ीभर भी आनंद नहीं मिल पाता | विवाह समारोह में जाएँ या नाटक में जाएँ, लेकिन वापिस फिर दुःख आ जाता है | जिस सुख के बाद दुःख आए, उसे सुख ही कैसे कहेंगे? वह तो मूर्छा का आनंद कहलाता है | सुख तो परमानेन्ट होता है | यह तो टेम्परेरी सुख हैं और बल्कि कल्पित हैं, माना हुआ है | हर एक आत्मा क्या ढूंढता है? हमेशा के लिए सुख, शाश्वत सुख ढूंढता है | वह ‘इसमें से मिलेगा, इसमें से मिलेगा | यह ले लूँ, ऐसा करूँ, बंगला बनाऊ तो सुख आएगा, गाड़ी ले लूँ तो सुख मिलेगा’, ऐसे करता रहता है | लेकिन कुछ भी नहीं मिलता | बल्कि और अधिक जंजालों में फँस जाता है | सुख खुद के अंदर ही है, आत्मा में ही है | अत: जब आत्मा प्राप्त करता है, तब ही सनातन (सुख) ही प्राप्त होगा |
Aatm Sakshatkar: આત્મસાક્ષાત્કાર
by Dada Bhagwanજીવ માત્ર શું ખોળે છે ? આનંદ ખોળે છે, પણ ઘડીવાર આનંદ મળતો નથી. લગ્નમાં જાય કે નાટકમાં જાય, પણ વળી પાછું દુઃખ આવે છે. જે સુખ પછી દુઃખ આવે એને સુખ કહેવાય જ કેમ ? એ તો મૂર્છાનો આનંદ કહેવાય. સુખ તો ‘પરમેનન્ટ’ હોય. આ તો ‘ટેમ્પરરી’ સુખ છે ને પાછું કલ્પિત છે, માનેલું છે. દરેક આત્મા શું ખોળે છે ? કાયમનું સુખ, શાશ્વત સુખ ખોળે છે. તે ‘આમાંથી આવશે. આ લઉં. આમ કરું, બંગલો બંધાવું તો સુખ આવશે, ગાડી લઉં તો સુખ આવશે.’ એમ કર્યા કરે છે પણ કશું આવતું નથી. ઊલટો વધારે ને વધારે જંજાળોમાં ગૂંચાય છે. સુખ પોતાની મહીં જ છે, આત્મામાં જ છે. એટલે આત્મા પ્રાપ્ત કરે તો (સનાતન) સુખ જ પ્રાપ્ત થાય.

About Peace: 108 Ways to Be at Peace When Things Are Out of Control
by Scott ShawThese Zen meditations for modern times can help you find calm amid chaos. Conflict is a part of life. Zen Buddhism was even founded in conflict. No one can give anyone else peace: It comes to those who seek it—in the moment and for the moment only. But even as the pace accelerates and problems escalate, it&’s possible to gain inner peace. The past is gone and the future is unknown—so there&’s no time like the present to use these 108 meditations. They offer a very contemporary respite from internal and external conflict, well suited to the breakneck pace of life today. Their number and their form, however, is steeped in tradition. One hundred and eight is a sacred number in Buddhism, in which there is also the tradition of meditating with malas, strung beads which come in multiples of nine—27, 56, or 108. Their form follows Buddhist tradition as well: They are modern koans, or riddles to ponder, and dharma stories.

Above the Line: Living and Leading with Heart
by Stephen Klemich Mara KlemichA leadership consultant and neuropsychologist identify the universal habits of the heart and mind—the keys to unlocking our true potential, creating our best selves and eliminating behavior patterns that hold us back. Why is it so hard for leaders to coach employees who are struggling? Why do we repeat the same mistakes and negative behaviors? Common wisdom says you always have a choice in how you react or respond. But, as corporate consultant Stephen Klemich and clinical psychologist Mara Klemich contend, until you recognize why you make choices, and how the heart and the brain work together to shape your behavior, you can’t change long-ingrained patterns and discover your best self.The Klemichs have developed a model backed by extensive research and data, and paired it with character-led personal development, to help you answer the "Why?" and eliminate behavior that is “below the line.” In Above the Line, they argue that that the quality of your life flows from the attitudes of your heart. Offering wise, compassionate, and practical advice, this book explores the deep, fundamental drivers of human behavior that exist within your heart—the seat of your character. It reveals that all of these behaviors can be explained by four principles—humility, love, pride, and fear—which influence every facet of your life, for better or for worse.We are all designed for greatness, but so often our best self is pitted against our worst. The pressures of life are pulling our character below the line while our authentic self is drawing us to live above the line. When you fully understand that the four principles are at the root of your behavior, you can begin the journey to become your best self and navigate life more effectively and successfully. Filled with proven strategies, Above the Line will create lasting changes in your behavior and improve your life personally and professionally—so you can make a positive impact on the world around you.
Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing Calm
by DeMar DeRozan Dave ZarumA remarkable, groundbreaking memoir from the six-time NBA All-Star and one of the most beloved Raptors players of all timeAs men, and especially Black men, we don’t talk about our mental health enough. We struggle to admit when things aren’t okay, even when it’s obvious to everybody around us. I’ve seen how toxic that can become. I’ve experienced it myself, keeping everything under wraps until your head and heart are full of fire and rage. —from Above the NoiseSix-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan has been called a “basketball savant” (ESPN) and “the best closer in the NBA” (GQ). But when he went public with his depression, it sparked a conversation that reached far beyond the court. By speaking out and breaking the stigma of mental illness, he added a new, seldom-heard voice to the mental health dialogue: that of a successful Black male athlete, openly naming his pain and advocating for others to do the same.Now it’s time to tell the full story. Born and raised in Compton, DeRozan was no stranger to hardship—he grew up in poverty and lost friends to gang violence. Practising in worn-out school gyms and community centres, fuelled by hunger and a desire to prove himself, he began to rise. But doubts followed. In Above the Noise, DeRozan opens up about both his proudest triumphs and the times he felt so weighed down he couldn’t get out of bed. He reflects on what it took to make a name for himself in a new country after getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors. He recounts the pressure of playing with veteran athletes as a twenty-year-old rookie, and the pain of losing role models. And he reveals what it felt like to be traded away from the team that he wanted to play with for the rest of his career.From a scared, angry kid to a confident father of five, DeRozan traces his journey to basketball stardom and the forces that honed him into the player—and the slowly healing person—he is today. His memoir will encourage anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggles and inspire people to rise above the noise and speak their truth.
