I am able to understand the reasons behind the disturbances and failures in my life. Yet, I am able to remain peaceful.

While meditating, I was very much aware beyond doubt on more than two to three occasions that there were snakes around my building premises, though I had not personally seen any. I was surprised as there is a concrete jungle now around our building premises with very little greenery. However, recently I came to know that a lady staying behind our building in a hutment had died of a snake bite. The snake was also spotted around the same time in the electric meter room, confirming the subtle knowledge I was given during Meditation! Recently while meditating, I saw myself meditating deeply in an unknown place. I could see everything outside the room, though the door was closed. Suddenly, I saw a bright whitish golden sparkling flame coming out of the huge banyan tree situated outside the building. It came out and went up towards the sky. The very next day I saw the huge banyan tree uprooted without any reason and it had collapsed tilting towards the adjacent building in our society! There was negligible damage as it had fallen a few meters away from the building.

In the early part of this quarter, Meditation felt very dull and lacklustre. After my recent visit to Taponagara, I feel as though I have been guided afresh. There is renewed enthusiasm to meditate. I have taken a keen interest in practising the Shambala Principles. I am able to practise with a revitalized feeling, whereas I was doing it earlier more as a duty.

I realise that practising the Shambala Principles is the only way to a happy and peaceful life. I look back at my journey and realise how much I have been 'raised' and helped to grow. It has been 21 years for me to actually realise this. Yes, I have changed. I thank Guruji and the Rishis for their patience and unimaginable Love. Yet I realise that the subtle ego raises its head stealthily and I need to be very cautious. Life is really beautiful! The challenges are our gifted opportunities to grow and I welcome and thank them. I am eternally grateful to them.

I feel light and experience expansion in my Meditations. Sometimes I feel as if I am merging with the vast sky.

On 29th August 2019, I completed 15 years in the Path of the Rishis. It took me time, but now I have become human. Many years ago I had a temper and a restless mind. Now I am calm and I no longer have a bad temper! The most beautiful development is that choosing has become easy. I wonder about how much energies are given to us to choose wisely and effortlessly. Manasa Foundation, the Sapta Rishis Path is the best. It is the best example of how a Meditator's growth is "freedom-based". Guruji emphasized on the point that God has given freedom to all and we have to make the right choices. I have outgrown many of my limitations. The best part is that I don't even know how I got rid of these! It is like the withered leaves falling from a tree automatically, about which Guruji used to often mention.
