Inner power and protection are the result of spiritual effort and the close relationship with God. Spiritual knowledge is to be aware of the universal code of conduct that brings safety in life. Through time, the spiritual values and principals have been forgotten, diluted, distorted or disobeyed by humanity.

This is what is causing the lack of inner power and protection that people experience nowadays.

Once a human being lives a life following the universal principals and is aware of his/her spirituality, then life will be experienced as a game and whatever pops-up in life, seems like a test or an exam. After all, life is the school for the soul. This new awareness can be sustained through the practice of meditation, connection with God and attention on the self.

This has been my experience for the 16 years of studying spirituality and practicing meditation.

On several occasions I have been attacked with different problems, diseases
and misfortunes of life, but I managed to use the power of God not to be
reactive and this has protected me. I am becoming an expert in this kind of
tests and in this way I have developed more strength that gives me
courage.

The divine protection is built up by ourselves.
As we get conscience of our inner strength we get the power and ability to
cope with all problems we may face.
I discovered mine when I was terribly sick and this power helped me
overcome all the steps to recover my health. Since then I realized that my
strength was there all the time, deep inside , just waiting to be awakened.
God loves all of us and will never let us down. That’s the divine
protection!

As a young person, I was afraid of the dark, I had the feeling that there is someone in the dark. Learning to meditate and recognizing that I am a being of light has helped me gain inner strength and confidence that not only am I not afraid of the dark anymore but experience the constant hand of protection.  It is like magic. One example:
During the Inner Power & Protection program in NJ we were preparing behind the curtains to get on the stage. There was a section where there was no platform and though I had noticed and avoided it before, this time I missed and was about to fall. In haste I reached to grab the curtain to avoid the fall. I waited for the props and the curtain to crash on top of me. Instead, I got up, I was not hurt at all, didn’t feel a thing, and no curtains had fallen either, nothing had moved from the stage and the program continued. The feeling was that there was a force that cushioned the fall and kept everything  in place.

A life changing moment I believe everybody has come across highs and lows in their lives and that the way they are handled show the quality of the soul. People usually like to have good things in life, luxury things, and follow the trends. My life was also the same. I had a good education and had been working in Oil Company. I designed seven refineries in my life time, petro-chemicals and port projects and I also had my own refineries, all in almost 35 years. When I was around 34 years old I had to give up my professional life because of a conflict between the people working with me and the spiritual dimension that I had developed in parallel with my social life and technological skills. I tried to get another job but couldn’t, because I was over-qualified. In the interviews people would say: “You have to be my boss, you have to be the CEO”. I went into unemployment for three years, with a family to take care of. I was trying to make ends meet by investing in different things, not always successfully. I was frustrated, with a lot of stress, I nearly became irrational. I believed in God all through my life. Still, at that point, I felt I was left alone. Where had God gone? God, whom I knew as the One who filled my heart since I was 14 year old, seemed to have vanished. That evening I sat down, challenging God and said “OK. I will not give up God, until I get this answer, how to get my life back. I’ve been a good person, performing well in religion, performing well in school, performing well in all the jobs. I fulfilled all my responsibilities being a manager, being a good friend for everyone. For all these good things that I’ve done, why am I in this situation? Where have I gone wrong?” I forcefully tried to meditate and get the answer from God. I said “Without the answer I will not give up.” I was trying to force an answer from God. After four hours of stress, all I got was to get tired. I was very determined but at one point I surrendered to my inability to understand and said “Well if it’s not going to be today, let’s do it tomorrow”. I was giving up, and wasn’t expecting any answer. At that moment, as I succumbed to the stillness and quiet, the answer came! It was a soft whisper, like a breeze softly blowing in my face. I heard, not through my ears but with my heart, that “Of all the things you’ve done, nothing was wrong. The only thing wrong was that you thought you did it all yourself.” . This answer made me realize my problem. I had a big idea about myself. I thought I had been successful; everything was always centered on me and how good I was. I never had been humble. This was the weakness that had to be removed. Suddenly I realized that there were a lot of people, a lot of things involved with my success and that there was a lot more purpose in life than to be successful in a worldly way. My spiritual eye opened up, I saw the world anew and suddenly everything became very still. I got up, put on my good clothes and faced the world with different feelings. Normally, when I looked at the road I would only see the fancy cars and whatever people call the good things. But at this time I looked in a different way. I saw the poor old Chinese guy pushing a bicycle and the kid on his bicycle. I noticed the worry on the face of the old man and the interest in the world of the kid; such a big contrast on the same bicycle. I think I saw the true world at that time. My spiritual eye opened and I felt connected to the Source, the One that people call God, Amba, Jehovah or Shiva. Each time I have this connection, I see the truth around me and understand what I have to do at that moment. I calmly accept and face whatever comes. People worry about the future. As long as you consistently stay in silence, calm, stillness and connect with God, you see the truth and perform your duty, according to your purpose in life in that moment, and live in that moment, without worrying about the future or regretting the past. This is the peace and happiness that everyone should experience. Once you arrive at a critical moment in your life as I did, go into silence, calmness and connect to this powerful Source. Then you too, will know why you are here and what you should do in every moment in your life.

Two years ago I was invited to help with the catering of a seminar for school and university teachers. After eight days of working non-stop in the kitchen of a hotel, I was feeling very tired, wanted to go back home, and was thinking too much about myself. One morning, the whole team was called to receive a blessing, and I could not believe when I heard how grateful the teachers were and how they could not have done their activities without us preparing their meals. Then I realized how we all are part of a family, each one with a special part to play. I decided to offer a little of my time. For the last two years, one day a week, I help prepare a retreat centre for the week-end activities. When I offered myself to do it, I did not think I was going to be able to keep my word. It has helped me prove to myself that I can honour a commitment. And get to love it, too. This day of “work” has become my free day. I am free from all my other activities and I feel so happy that a little of my time is helping others enjoy the retreat centre. Everything I have started since then has become a success. This gives me courage to go on. It has given me the energy to take the proper decisions in my life.

So many times I have felt that He is watching and protecting me and my family.
Here is one of the stories when I was in danger, and my Loving Father was there to watch over me, guide and protect me.
I was travelling alone for the first time, on a train, with lots of luggage. The train stopped and all the passengers of my compartment got off. It was dark and I could not read the name of the station, so I asked this man who was standing on the platform. The man turned around and I saw that he was totally drunk, with red-hot eyes staring at me and the empty compartment. “Where do you want to go” he asked with a slur. I felt insecure. I was panicked, fear had taken over me. I could not reply but gestured that it is OK. “I’ll take you where ever you want to go”, he said and started getting on the train. Now I was shaking with fear. Suddenly I found this inner strength. My inner voice said “RUN”. The train was about to start. I don’t know how I got the strength to lift those two huge bags, jump off the train and run to find another compartment with people in it. A kind man helped me to lift those bags up on the train. I looked over my shoulder and saw the drunken man was behind me. I did not panic this time, but my heart was running like a fast train. I found a seat and sat with other passengers. I felt safe.  With my eyes closed, I thanked my Lord for being there for me, guiding and protecting me. Whenever I remember that scene, I send my blessing to that man. Maybe he was a kind man, maybe he was in that state because of difficult circumstances. I thank my intuition, my inner voice, and above all God my Father.
