Basic building block of the material world is an "atom", thru understanding interplay energies within it, let us understand life - Dr. Yuvraj Kapadia
Interestingly, the other day, I was conducting a workshop in Mumbai. There was an old student of mine, who came up with a question on the model of the material world. Strangely, the question got me thinking.
What the student brought up was a very interesting insight into the way our material world is fashioned.
Let's get into this a little deeper. So if we could go back in time to the time we were at school, grappling and breaking our heads with this subjects called physics and chemistry, what you might still remember is that these material sciences told us, if you look at matter and you split matter up you will land up with a molecule and if you split the molecule you would land up with an atom. The atom to most of us became and even today probably is the most fundamental particle of existence. Now the amazing part of science is that by virtue of its very material nature you cannot deny what it presents. And locked within the structure of the atom is probably one of the world's profound and interesting secrets and much of it is what we keep saying. The basic dictum' its not out there, its all in here.' Let's apply the same philosophy to the atom.
Now if you break the atom up what you observe is an extremely interesting interplay of energies. At the heart of the atom is its core or the centre called the nucleus. It's a technical word, don't get pissed off, it is fine !
If you split this nucleus up, within the nucleus you would get sub-atomic particles called protons and neutrons and the protons are the dudes, which have a positive charge which means these are continuously emitting positive charge of energy. The neutrons as the name suggests are neutral and surrounding this nucleus all around it in concentric patterns are electrons, which are in the state of constant motion. These electrons carry a negative charge. The further one moves away from the nucleus of the atom the stronger of the negative charge of the electron gets. Now many of you will question, so what's the big secret here?
Well the answer is so close in your face that it is actually difficult to even see it ! So what the atom tells you is that if you start going back into your own core, your nucleus will only emanate positive energy. On the other hand, the moment you shift your focus with awareness to the outside and once you shift your awareness to the outside the further you go away from your central core the stronger the negative charge becomes. As the charge of the negative emotion becomes stronger and stronger you find yourself getting warped into the conundrum of negative emotions. The moment you are stuck in the conundrum of the negative emotions, these become your beliefs and that belief then starts spinning your fresh reality.
So, what's the take home here? I know you are in a physical world. In that physical world you have no option but to interact with the external world as well, True, we are social animals, by habit, by compulsion, by birth and by programming. But the take home from this particular video is, that whenever in life you find stuck with a major negative emotional charge, arising out an interplay in the environment, the only thing you need to do is to withdraw and go right back into your inner space. Go back into your nucleus and if you go back into your nucleus it is but natural by the law of nature by the law of physics by the law of the material world that you will start radiating positive energy. Try it out it is not so difficult. I do know, when you are in the grip of negative emotion it does become very difficult. Because as humans we are so programmed to react. To react instantly to the charge that is hitting us. But just focus a little on your breath at that time, live out the emotion, I am going to deal with that in the next video and just retreat back into your nucleus. The moment you retreat back into your nucleus, almost magically you will find your ability to connect back to the positive charge that you always were, are and will remain, getting activated straight away. How we do this, what is the process in real terms, because I know, this sounds maybe like a clichéd platitude but in the next video I am going to break this down into a very simple to do exercise which is completely logical, which is completely rational, which is something you can effortlessly implement into your day to day life.

We have made choices to indulge in exactly what we love to do... ripples are not to stay - if u choose to ! - Dr. Yuvraj Kapadia
So, we have made choices and we have also understood how we have manifested situations in life, which are giving us the opportunity to indulge in exactly what we love to do.
Does that mean that life from here on is absolutely a smooth and straight road? Cruise Control?
So boring.if your life ever became perfect! It would be one of the most boring existences you would ever have. Believe me, perfection is very boring.
So, if perfection is very boring and life is all about moving towards that perfection where do we find that spice, that masala, that little bit of flavoring which gives you that kick, gives your creative juices a flow, the whole story of let's do it!
So, when you start doing anything that you love, you will periodically in that space still attract minor situations, minor episodes, small disturbances which are like the ripples that get created when a stone falls into an absolutely placid body of water. What is the psychology of the water when the stone hits the water? Is the water going to change its principle? The answer is no. Is the water going to change its constitution? The answer is still no. What will the water eventually do? After a period of time, the ripples that the stone created will die down and the water goes back to its original, normal pristine and placid state.
And so it is with love, when you are in love, with anything that it is, be it a person, be it a job, be it a relationship, be it anything at all in this world, there will periodically be a stone which will fall into the body of water and like a ripple will create a wave in your consciousness. At this moment, all you need to do, is to just check with yourself and take a decision what the hell, I love that person and if I love that person that small ripple created by the disturbance of the stone coming in becomes extremely small in comparison to the large magnitude of placidity that exists.
So, if you truly love a person, there will be so many magical moments in your life that you have spent with that person that are great and if you are continuing to love that person and in the moment that the ripple of consciousness in that flow occurs, remember that the ripple is probably mirroring some small fear that you still have, it is ok,the journey is like that. All you need to do is to just remind yourself, what the bloody hell, I just love this person and the moment you remind yourself with that one statement and your mind gets flooded with all fantastic moments that you have had and your ability to respond in that moment changes completely. The ripple disappears; the placidity returns back, life is one smooth party. This is a story and a situation that will remain with you till the end of your life. There is absolutely no person on this planet that even after hitting a very sweet spot that he loves would continue forever in that zone. Doesn't exist because life is about evolution, but the formula for evolution, my friends does not change. The formula for evolution remains, if you are grounded in love and you keep reminding yourself of that grounding, with your intellect you keep making those choice all the time, in that situation your ability to deal with the minor ripples of life will get greatly magnified. You are an ascended master.
Probably, most of us feel that attaining the Buddha state is a little boring, because, what is the point of living a life in which we don't judge anything! We just experience everything for what it is! It is a great state, it is a very divine state taking nothing away from that state. But for many of us, this life is an interesting journey, which we are looking to enjoy with a lot of fun. Learning with fun, that's my theme. Getting to the Buddha state, sure, inevitable. Nirvana is going to happen to all of us. The universe is not going to spare anyone, not me, not you. What truly matters I feel probably is the fun, the joy that you experience in that journey getting to where you need to get to.
So if you keep this one simple thing in mind. If I have to just summarize, the last four videos, give it back to you into one simple concise shot.
1 - You are where you are because of a choice you have made and because there is a wisdom waiting for you. Don't reject where you are right now.
2 - Use simple techniques to get out of the pain of what any moment is giving you. The moment you come to that neutrality the wisdom of where you are will start emerging out.
3 - The moment the wisdom emerges out, now start acting on it making the shift in your mind, start breathing out things that don't work for you, start spending more and more of your mental space in things which work for you and now you will gravitate from a fear based response in life to a love based response in life.
4 - As you start gravitating to a love based response in life you will greatly minimize the ripples that come into your life. And the moment you minimize the ripples in your life then your only job at any point of time is to remind yourself of the love that you are and that love is powerful enough to dissolve your own ego. Just remind yourself gently that I am love, and if I am the love and I have chosen to love then this ripple is here today will disappear tomorrow, going back to that original state of bliss and peace
Enjoy every experience, live every day as if it is the last day of your life Live every moment as if it is the last moment of your life and you are willing and you are happy to depart with a smile on your lips.
Remember this, today and for all times. You might have come into this world crying but you owe it to yourself to leave this world smiling. Not only smiling, leaving behind impressions, attitudes, memories and energies which encourage people around you to look at your life maybe mentally salute you and say, here is a man who walked the sands of time and converted time and space both into marbles in his pocket with whom he played effortlessly. Conquer space, conquer time, left the world much, much better place than what it was before you came in.
Enjoy the journey, all the best.
