THE AWARENESS ZONE

This site has been designed especially for people who believe that they possess a higher power within themselves. Every human being is unique and each of us possess a higher self which our Creator has gifted us. Most of us are concerned only with our minds and bodies throughout our lives and do not realize the precious jewel hidden within each of us. When we discover this wealth within, we start a new begining in life. A life of freedom, bliss, and a life leading towards enlightenment. Life is full of problems, uncertainities and complexities and all these being intregral are unavoidable. However, realizing the jewel helps us in our quest for happiness.

This jewel or wealth within us is our higher self, also called the soul. The great sages and saints have said that our soul is our true self. The body and mind's functioning are impermanent or temporary and do not hold the truth. The soul is permanent and is said to be closest to God and holds the ultimate truth of our lives. The resting place of the soul lies in our heart and the soul never lies just as our heart never lies. The soul is the first and most important entity of our lives. Second being the mind and third being our body. All the three entities are an intergral part of our lives. Yet, most of us are aware of our minds and bodies only. We live by what our minds and bodies dictate us to do, realizing little, that the soul plays the most important part.

This site has been set up to create 'awareness'. Awareness towards our spiritual life and towards all creatures and natural objects of this planet and the universe. Although the site does not have definite answers, it tries to indicate techniques and ways by which one could enrich one's spiritual life. Most of the information is available in the book 'Loving Kindness' published recently by Publish America and which can be ordered online.
