A True Story
How I Learned to Live the Life of My Dreams
by Samahria Ramsen

“You cannot postpone loving; and you cannot postpone living.” - Tulshi Sen

I Thought I Knew the Secret of Life
Every one needs a teacher, even a teacher himself. I am a teacher. I have a Master of Education Degree. I know it from my own experience. I thought I knew the secrets of life. I thought I knew what is good and what is not good for me. I thought I knew it all. Still I was not happy and definitely stressed out.

I was on the path to Success, continuously fighting my limitations, trying to better my life. There was no rest. I was rising and falling, progressing and then regressing again, going from exultations of spirit and then back to the dungeon of despair. I thought I was moving forward.

I Fooled Myself
I was fooling myself, pretending that I was successful; I was trying to hide my fears from myself and from the world. Until one day I found the courage and bluntly asked myself: Is this success? Why are you constantly stressed out? I couldn’t answer. I began to think.

Questions for Self Repair
-How can I break my old habits?
-What do I need to do to prepare myself for the right action?
-Where can I get the knowledge to do new things?
-Who can inspire and give me courage to change?

The Questions That Pushed Me Forward
• At that very moment I felt the urge and the thrill of a revolution in my mind;
• I felt the intense urge to blossom and to expand.
• I wanted change. I wanted it now.
• I was expecting a sign, a miracle, a word…

The Answer & The Truth
It is startling how the Universe works; and how it manifests our most secret desires.
My prayer was answered. The answer came in a form of a man; just a regular man. I would have normally passed him by on the street, without noticing that he was there. But this time my ears opened. I heard his voice and his words. Something moved inside my heart. I heard the truth.

The Mental Tool for Success
I recognized my teacher; and was blessed to receive from him The Mental Tool and the Secret to use it. It wasn’t easy but it is a sure path to success.
I remember my teacher telling me: “The first thing you have to do is to learn, how to learn. Learning is an art. There are many people who know a lot, but they are still like donkeys’, carrying loads of books.”

No Shortcuts to Self Realization
It took me sometime to recognize that without humility and patience I would not have a chance to understand these teachings. I had a hard time to deal with my ego. I couldn’t here his words. I became aware, that there is no short cut to Self-Realization.

My Confession
Now, I am happy to confess: my desire to know the Self finally overpowered my ego. That was my first conquest. I thought it was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life. I was wrong again. At that time I did not know that there was a new challenge before me: the challenge to internalize this knowledge. Believe in it. Make it my own. And then - live it.

Wisdom Cannot Be Learned
Yes, there is truly no short cut to wisdom. My teacher says: “Wisdom cannot be learned; it can only be transmitted.”
He taught me the Secret of Meditation and practice of Self-Control.
Oh, what a gruelling experience it was, and it still is, to purify the mind and train the senses. I am still doing it day-after-day, knowing, that, only in the pure mind there is a constant awareness, joy and rapture.

Measuring Success
Do I feel different after years of meditation and practice?
Have I progressed so far?
I shall say that with the grace of my teacher I feel a great change in the quality of my life.

• I feel more confidence in using the right reason, before I take any action.
• I feel more serene, balanced, and poised, while I think, speak, and act.
• I feel stronger, younger, and more beautiful inside and outside;
• My body is changed and has become suitable for my renewed consciousness.

I Will Not Postpone Living and Loving Anymore
My teacher says: “You cannot postpone loving; and you cannot postpone living.”
So, I am following his instructions: I love; and I live;
And I am continuing my journey on the way to success…
