Awakening is the process of realization that the entire play of life is in the mind. You are awake if you are living instead of being lived by your vices. One who is awake (called Jagna in Hindi) is one who lives (does deeds) in the present with the mind’s third eye open. When you are awake, you have the awareness that your mind is the minister that creates problems or opportunities from situations. And mind is not a physical organ in your body - it is a creation of your ongoing thoughts. If you are unhappy today, it is from the seeds of yesterday. If you will be happy tomorrow, it will be from the seeds of today. The seeds of your thoughts fall right in your own land inside you. You grow the plant from such seeds in time with your thoughts, words, and actions. If you are sowing the seeds of anger, you will not find a happiness tree growing inside you.

Your vices (anger, ego,…) cause problems that grow on mind like leaves grow on the tree. If you prune one leaf the tree accepts the challenge and comes back with three leaves using the strength of your vices. Awakening is the realization that you and only you are the reason for your sorrow or happiness. You do not need to go outside. It is to know that heaven or hell are not geographic locations but are states of mind. If you see others from the state of mind of a friend (does not mean that the entire world has become your friend – it is the state of mind), you are in heaven. If you see others from the state of mind of a foe, you are in hell. In this awakened state, if some one does animosity with you then they are the ones who have to live with the pain.
