It is a great feeling for me, for coming across a sensitive human being like you, who is interested in thinking globally acting locally. The limitations of one’s self-development are endless in itself. Because it includes all the self-improvement wisdom of the world developed since ancient times. No one knows for sure when your ancestors became conscious regarding developing themselves into fine civilizations.

Certainly one becomes speechless. When one goes in search of books and stands in front of an endless collections of titles on different subjects in bookstores and libraries, looking at those vast collections, you will wonder how anyone could ever become expert enough to call oneself as a knowledgeable person with a well developed understanding. The first question you will ask yourself is - Is it possible to read, digest and master this ever growing vast explosion of knowledge totally in anyone’s lifetime? No indeed it is not possible, Then what to do? Do you stop learning, educating and developing yourselves?

No certainly there is no need to stop your self-development either. Then what to do? It becomes necessary for us to find more effective and fast solutions for your self-development. ‘Self-development is a flowering of your personality from within, however it is not moulding yourselves into something which you are not’. To find this then you will have to go and find the origin of all the knowledge connected to self-development subject. From where do you think that all this endless vast knowledge is continuously coming into your existential world? Why all those books have been created? And why many books on many subjects are being created at this very present moment? What makes a writer compulsively to write, create and share this ‘ever fresh universal self-knowledge’? Are they not also just simple common people like anyone else in the world? Yes indeed they are just like us, but a kind of flowering has occurred within them by which they are able to see the life from many different dimensions. Okay, then first let us go within our own consciousness and find answers to these questions, ‘NOW’.

So now it is self-evident that words are the communication mediums by which all the universal knowledge is conveyed to ‘you’. Now you will find out what these ‘words’ really are? And who are ‘you’ and your individual identity is, because knowing about your relationship with ‘words’ and one’s true individual identity is the first step towards one’s self-development. Lack of self-understanding is the root cause of all miseries, confusions and difficulties in one’s life. When you are incapable to understand your individuality properly then you cannot develop your personality and interact effectively with the people around us. One will just end up feeling as if s/he is an inadequate person. You will really know it how amazing is the journey of self-discovery is, as you explore it from all together with an ‘out of box’ approach. Okay, shall you begin? So you will start from one step at a moment so as to make your journey interesting and exciting as Well.

Well, do you remember when you learnt the first word of your life? Well, I am asking this strange question is simply because before you learnt the first word of your life, at the moment when you were just born. At that moment you were not what you think, assume and believe you are now. Because, before you grew up to be an educated “worldly wise” knowledgeable individual, you were free like butterfly. You were beyond gender. Your eyes were shinning like stars. Without any apparent reason your joy, your bliss and your happiness Were limitless. You were the very joy, bliss and happiness because those were your intrinsic nature and essence.

Why? Because at those precious moments you were one with the whole universe, you were peerless light of limitless consciousness itself. You never experienced the Universe around you as something separate and different. You and universe were indivisible. You were one with yourself along with entire contentment of the universe. You never expected anything from anyone. Because you already had everything that you ever wanted, you were happy to be what you already were. Because you were not involved in any process of becoming, you were in the eternal “omnipresence” of the “now and here”. You did not knew what worry is, because there was not any kind of “need” within you.

You were not rushing towards anything because; at those precious moments there was not any kind of sense of time within you. There was not any sense of fear or worry within you. You were not poor or rich, you were not a good person or a bad person, and therefore you were free from all duality and all manmade social, religious and political divisions and differences of the world. Do you remember such precious moments of your own earlier life? Of course how anyone could remember precious moments? Everyone unconsciously forgets those precious moments as soon as one falls into ‘the trap’ of becoming something which s/he is not. Do you wish to go back to those beautiful moments of your own life? Certainly who doesn’t wish to go back to such one’s own intrinsic heightened state of universal consciousness? That too effortlessly
