In my childhood, I once observed a unique plant growing on its own in the courtyard. Out of curiosity I nurtured it. After a few days, I saw a bunch of juicy tomatoes on it. This event germinated an idea that everything has its origin and somewhere there must be my origin too. While interacting with Gulavani Maharaj of Pune, I was enlightened about the origin of my soul. Later, my Sadguru Sri Sri Mahavatar Babaji explained to me the universal oneness of 'Aham-Brahmasmi'. How mystic, unbelievable but still realistic! At that tender age I felt - 'We are all One'!

Everything is incomplete without our own existence and the values that we have inherited from our ancestors. They took a lot of efforts to create the modern world as we see it now and our responsibility is to maintain the harmony on the planet Earth. If we start developing only the spiritual side in us, without concern for every second living being and society at large, we will find that this spiritual journey is incomplete. The survival issues of mankind are incomplete without materialistic values and materialistic values are incomplete without spirituality. The harmony lies in balancing all these three levels. In terror-stricken areas you will find more terrorists due to the negative environment and influence of like-minded people. However, a well-cultured, civilized area with positive environment will produce better cultured people. A spiritual person with higher values of life understands the power of love and will always create an environment favourable for peace and contentment.

To generate peace and contentment, one has to see spirituality as a necessity, a must for survival and the ultimate aim for better living. The reason is simple - all aspects of spirituality find its fundamental roots in Love. Nobody in the world is without love, whether they are projecting it or not. Perhaps, circumstances denied them this love and suppressed their power of expression.

The five elements of which our body is made, teach 'Unconditional Love and Unconditional Forgiveness'. But we put conditions and separate these five elements, for example, Mother Earth, water, etc. by territorial division. The time has come for global oneness. It is the need of the hour that all those who have tasted the fruits of love should come together and save Mother Earth.

The base of Spirituality is always science. Our breathing creates the vital force for survival. The rhythm of the heart and the scale of brain evolution support the body and mind, leading to the awakening of the soul. Kriya Yoga, a five-fold path of Kriya Hatha Yoga, Kriya Bhakti Yoga, Kriya Kundalini Pranayam, Kriya Mantra Yoga and Kriya Dhyana Yoga, scientifically leads a sadhak towards the Ultimate Self-Realization. Sadguru Sri Sri Mahavatar Babaji has described this science of Kriya Yoga as the easiest path for a common man.

This science is incomplete without focusing and fulfilling the survival issues. Basically, in any kind of science, one requires logic, judgment, experimentation and patience to wait for the results. The spiritual path goes through the same fundamentals. The curiosity of mind does a lot of experiments but ultimately settles at one level, becomes steady, stable and receptive for results. Mind is the key factor without which spirituality is incomplete.

India's famous K.E.M. Hospital in Mumbai invited me as the chief guest to speak during the Symposium on 'Scientific Values in Spiritual Health for Meaningful Living' and I stated - "Science and Spirituality are two sides of the same coin and people should not get confused. Every scientist puts all his efforts on the intellectual level but ultimately waits for the outcome. In both, Science and Spirituality, the common factor is self-effort. Our ancestors developed 'Yoga' - a union of gross body and subtler body. The Extra Sensory Perception was developed by ancient sages. Even the power of telepathy, transcendental ability and so many unbelievable phenomena were later accepted by science". It may not be a big surprise if tomorrow; the study of spirituality becomes a part of the curriculum in medical colleges!

Everyone wants peace and prosperity. Let all the messengers of love open their wings and carry the fruits of love to sow the seeds on the soil of terrorism. The soil is waiting for such seeds to be planted so that the roots once again will take shape in her womb and one day definitely a huge tree will give fruits of Love to everybody. It will be a big salvation for which She has been waiting for so long! Let us unite to amplify the amount of love which is required at such places and for that everyone should understand their moral responsibility to spread 'Unconditional Love and Unconditional Forgiveness'.
