Today, I shall reveal a great secret. The long lost secret of anti-aging, which scientists today, are battling hard to unravel.
The greatest anti-aging elixir available to mankind is inner peace, joy, and laughter.
Waking up happy and grateful for the experiences placed upon your path and gracefully taking decisions that will elevate your works and the world around you.
In this state of being, the moment presents itself as the greatest of gifts, which is to be relished on every occasion.
Life thus becomes an unending celebration.
Even when hungry and homeless, the thread which connects you with The Source will give you hope, and you will continually be replenished in spirit.
Every bad experience shall surely pass and only good ones shall later arrive and remain …
An absolute necessity for the attainment of this state of being is to be conscious of the thought forms in you and around you. Never fan evil, and always dismiss any thought that seeks to destroy or belittle your fellow man.
Always resist any external imposition that isn’t in sync with your inner convictions. This should be impulsive, aye, second nature to you.
Play a lot, laugh a lot, work hard, and be honest in your dealings. The Universe has provided more than enough for every one. Just that a lot of people do not want to reap what they have sown and disdain the very circumstances they brought into being.
To make matters worse, they even go as far as profaning The Holy Name of The Creator and blame Him for all their misfortunes! They are unhappy to have been born at all … considering their circumstances! How sad! How so grave the repercussions!
Look out of your window, dear traveler. Do you not see that the one who plants a seed of corn always reaps a multiple of cobs in return? Is it not clear to you that the one who rejoices over the blessings of others has many more blessings to attract in return. Do you not observe that the one who is kind in his wording is also treated with the same characteristic kindness?
What are you giving out? What are you attracting? What are you becoming?
The stream which receives from the rock and empties itself out into the greater sea, giving freely and happily of itself to those who thirst in the process, remains clear and is always replenished. It sparkles on the surface while reflecting myriad colours of light.
The stream which disconnects itself from the rock soon stagnates, becomes foul, and emits an unpleasant odour. It will poison those who are not circumspect enough to withdraw from it, and sooner or later will dry up …
Rejoice! For those of you who possess deep inner joy have the greatest wealth – the purest health. You will always hear the music playing from the distant realms, and very few will understand the reason why you are always dancing … Even when you are hungry, homeless, or passing through trying times, you dance as if without a worry.
Your youth shall remain with you inasmuch as you hear the music which wisely orders your steps … your feeding … your words … your thoughts … your activities …
In this state, your eyes will radiate the brightest light and your presence will light up every space you inhabit. You will channel the blessings mercifully granted into your surroundings and be renewed all the time.
Make untiring efforts to be a serious Seeker for the Truth and Love wherever it is available! Then seek to practically apply it promptly as you find without procastinations.
This, dear traveler, is the secret of youth!
Stay happy and young in spirit!
Namaste
