ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Human beings cannot grow in isolation. We all are students in the school of earth. We live and we learn. We learn and we live better.
This work has emerged out of my cherished memories of my quest. I was a judgmental and critical person seven years ago. In extreme pain and stress, I was searching solace here and there.
Then, I came across a beautiful lesson on 'Law of attraction' from my best friend Ms. Seema Sharma. It took me to various CD's and books on this topic. I entered the soothing world of joy, peace and love.
Another beautiful soul with the name Ms. Ashima Aggrawal opened gates of blooming garden of meditation. I experienced beautiful meditations. Eventually, my 'ego- self' started disappearing. I met real me. It turned me into avid reader.
This journey took me to splendid people, books and places. I was learning new skills. I was meeting new people. Criticism and judgment become a thing of past. Dr. D.R. Vij and Amit Kumar Singh, my mentors, blessed me with their unconditional love and support. They showered gems of their divine wisdom which enriched life. Mr. Rajeev Mohun guided on this divine path. Mr. Raghvir Mann inspired like an angel. I am grateful to Analyst Vishal Sood and Tarun Aryan for teaching me life skills. Every day, I was becoming truer, prettier, and calmer. I bow down to these beautiful souls.
I feel a deep sense of gratitude to all my family members for their love and warmth. I am thankful to my adorable husband Dr. (Prof.) Varinder Singh for his unconditional support. I am grateful for the divine love of my children Alankrita and Bhavya Pratap.
My parents Mr. Daljeet Singh Joshi and Ms. Usha Joshi ignited my spirits. My father in law Mr. Satnam Singh and mother in law Ms. Kamlesh Kumari were the facilitators. My best friends, Vandana Dubey, Shelly, Sudeep Koroth, Surinder, Vandana Sharma and my fellows at my work place are motivation.
I thank my brothers Mr. Gurpreet Joshi for sharing his books and wisdom with me. My youngest brother Mr. Sarabjeet Joshi taught me calmness and silence. My sister in laws Ms. Dolly Joshi, Ms. Babita Kaushal and my brother in law Mr. Sukhwinder Pal Sonak sprinkled mystic dust of delight and ecstacy in my life. I am grateful to my sister Sanyogita Joshi and her family to play their roles perfectly in this earthly incarnation.
I bow down at the feet of my each and every teacher who have taught me how to live an euphoric life. I am grateful to all those unconditional relationships of my life who met me across the path of this quest. I thank God for all the love that I got from my each and every student. The gaiety and buoyancy of life is a divine bliss.

PREFACE
Life is eternal. Human beings are immortal in the form of souls. We are indestructible souls having a mortal body. We all are born, made to learn some lessons and return our divine abode to come again and keep on learning. We, the souls are ageless, timeless, ceaseless and undying.
The mortal bodies of human beings are the store house of abundant esoteric powers. We are mystic beings. Our life on earth is not an aimless accident. We are arcane. We are bestowed with splendid powers within. We get a natural body for our supernatural being. This paradoxical union makes us unique. It makes us metaphysical.
During our incarnation on earth, we meet people as per a specific divine design based on 'laws of karma'. We are passed through favorable and unfavorable experiences to help us realize our authentic self. During this learning process, we love as well as hate; we laugh as well as cry. We all get attached. We all expect a lot. We all feel hurt and sadness. We all rejoice basking the in sun of love and ecstasy.
At some point of life, each one of us feel so tired, sad and bruised that 'thanatos', the 'death force' grabs us. Any accident or hurt leave us perplexed. And we are astonished at our existence. This may prove a turning point if we turn within. and this can be the beginning of a series of agonies if we don't.
While exploring the reasons of natural sadness, I came across a number of astonishing facts. During my quest, I came to know variety of factors affecting human life. This book is in fact a diary of my observations while exploring 'myself'. The aim is just to facilitate the people on a similar journey so that together we can raise our consciousness.
In fact, we are one. We all are creation within one mind. We live one life. And it is equally true that our afflictions are the same. We all cry when hated and rejected. We all are zealous when loved and accepted. This book is a trivial effort to get connected to you to uplift our spirits together. I hope this endeavor proves worthwhile to you readers. Love you all.

CHAPTER - ONE
Ways of Life
Human life is a beautiful saga full of emotions. This tale has a perfect blend of ecstatic and deplorable moments. Every experience is significant. Nothing is superfluous in human life as human life is esoteric. It is divine. The mystic life on earth is the most beautiful event in the universe. The alluring life of human beings is the most mysterious thing happening on earth. At some point of life, each one of us is amused by this enigma. This attraction drags us on the path of Self quest. We feel curious to explore the hidden truth. This proves to be the most significant and beautiful search. It leads us home. The divine abode where there is no pain and suffering. Is it possible?
Just imagine a man who is the happiest. A woman who never
