Aaj Ki Murli PDF: Today Murli
Sweet Children, Time to Leave the Ego Gym and Flex Those Soul Muscles!
Aaj Ki Murli Om Shanti: Today’s Murli is all about trading in body consciousness for soul consciousness. The Satguru gently reminds us that staying attached to our physical identity is like clinging to a leaky life raft when there’s a yacht of peace just waiting for us. Why settle for the temporary when the eternal is within reach?
1. Body Consciousness: The Ego’s Favorite Playground
If body consciousness were a workout, it would involve lifting dumbbells of ego, running marathons for validation, and occasionally pulling a muscle in pride. We get too caught up thinking, “Am I good-looking enough? Rich enough? Why doesn’t this outfit spark joy?” Spoiler alert: the soul doesn’t care about any of that.
On the other hand, the soul is like, “I’ve been here since forever—no wrinkles, no cholesterol, just pure bliss!” It doesn’t need filters or followers to feel fulfilled.
2. Soul Consciousness: The Inner Zen That Outlasts Fashion Trends
Imagine going through life knowing you’re a soul: unbothered, radiant, and eternally serene. It’s like walking into a room where chaos is brewing and saying, “Namaste, drama—I’m just passing through!” Soul consciousness isn’t just a mental state; it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
3. Renunciation Isn’t About Giving Up—It’s About Lightening Up
Renunciation often gets a bad rep. People think it means giving up all the fun stuff—like dessert or binge-watching—but really, it’s about not getting so tangled in worldly things that you trip on your own desires.
For example, instead of obsessing over a new gadget, you could think: “Ah, another toy for the body. But I am a soul, so it’s really just bonus entertainment!” Detachment lets you enjoy everything without feeling like you need anything.
4. How to Practice Soul Consciousness: The Cheat Sheet
a. Morning Meditation:
Think of morning meditation as your daily software update. Start the day with a “soul reboot”—imagine yourself glowing with light, sitting above the mess of the world like a cloud with Wi-Fi. Stay connected to the Supreme Soul, and you’ll be running on spiritual 5G all day.
b. Midday Reality Check:
When you find yourself spiraling into body consciousness (like worrying about why someone left you on read), pause. Inhale deeply, and remind yourself, “I am a soul, not a notification addict.”
c. Relationships on Soul Mode:
Ever wonder what would happen if we looked at people as souls instead of walking resumes? Your annoying coworker? A soul working through their karma. Your sibling who “borrowed” your favorite hoodie? Just another soul teaching you non-attachment (or patience… lots of patience).
5. Shrimat: GPS for a Smooth Life Journey
Following Shrimat is like using GPS in spiritual traffic—miss a turn, and you’ll find yourself stuck in the ego lane, honking at life. Shrimat tells us not to get stuck on temporary attractions. It’s basically divine advice saying, “Do you really need to chase after every shiny thing? Or can you just stay in your peaceful lane?”
6. Challenges: When Body Consciousness Sneaks Back In
It’s okay if you slip up. We all get those “Why didn’t anyone like my photo?” moments. The key is to laugh about it and say, “Ah, Maya! Caught me again!” The Satguru knows that the world is full of distractions. The point isn’t to be perfect but to keep coming back to soul awareness every time we wander off.
7. The Power of Silence: Not Awkward, Just Divine
Silence can feel awkward, but that’s only because we’re used to filling every moment with noise. Try it—sit quietly, and instead of “What’s the latest on Netflix?” ask yourself, “How’s my soul doing today?” Silence helps us connect to the deeper part of ourselves that’s always peaceful, no matter what’s happening around us.
8. Effort to Effortlessness: When the Soul Goes on Autopilot
Think of the journey from body consciousness to soul consciousness like riding a bike. At first, it’s all wobbles and falls, but one day, you’ll just glide. No more, “Did I say the right thing?” or “Did I impress them?” You’ll be too busy being at peace to care.
When you reach that effortless state, the soul takes over—no more wrestling with ego, no more chasing after validation. Life becomes a dance, and you’re in perfect rhythm with the universe.
9. Satsang: Where Like-Minded Souls Share the Joy
Joining satsangs is like hanging out with friends who remind you of what really matters. It’s the spiritual version of having a crew that says, “Forget the pizza—let’s order some enlightenment instead.”
Listening to others share their experiences on the path is like picking up travel tips for a destination you’re headed toward. Their insights make the journey smoother and sometimes even hilarious (because let’s face it, spiritual growth has its awkward moments too).
10. Soul Consciousness: The Secret to Inner Peace and Outer Coolness
When you’re soul-conscious, people will wonder, “What’s your secret? Yoga? A new diet?” But the truth is, you’ve just stopped carrying unnecessary baggage. Inner peace isn’t about doing—it’s about being. And once you tap into that, no external circumstance can ruffle you.
Think of it as walking through a rainstorm but staying completely dry—not because of an umbrella but because you know the rain can’t touch your soul. It’s a different kind of cool.
The Satguru is not scolding us but only helping us to see the fact that we have lingered in falsity for too long. You are given a Ferrari – the self – and you want to fit in a tri-cycle – the body. Why not change the vehicles and enjoy the ride?
So as you read this Murli today, do not bother about your little ego idiosyncrasies, do not hurt your bodily habits in any serious way, and say to yourself, what’s the word, ‘It’s time to upgrade, soul style.’ A healthy attitude is living in the moment—and if you do, why spend it worrying over issues dismissively, which do not even pertain to one’s true self?
It is not that one has to transform from body consciousness to soul consciousness in order to be somebody else—one comes into the real self, the inner self that has always been wanting to come out.
