Hmmm… interesting topic… 😉
From personal experience… I’d say detachment is the key here… To try and remain equipoised in your mind and see the world for what it is… If you let everyone get to you then you will fall further away from your goal. Try to be unaffected by others (I know this sounds a little cold, but it works in bringing about an enlightened state). Try to yes; radiate love. But do not depend on this love for your joy… just love for loves sake, as love is your true higher vibratory creative and healing potency. But do not let mundane feelings of sadness and joy effect you. You must become a master of your senses and equally positioned on the equator of your emotional barometer (if that analogy makes any sense 🙄 ) 😀 Try not to let the world get you up or down… just be in the world but not of it… see with equal vision the tree, ant, dog and dog eater… By reaching such a state of equilibrium your mind will be open to higher realizations and natural bliss that is your constitutional spiritual position.
Try it… who knows…
Here’s something I found which explain my thoughts a lil better…
What we need is to be interested and to watch, but not interfere or be caught up in what we are thinking. Don’t think of the past, don’t anticipate the future, don’t get fascinated by the present. See it as it is. Just be there with it. A thought is just a thought. An emotion is just an emotion. It is like a bubble. It will burst and another one will come up.
When we first begin to put this into practice the mind begins to split. We develop what is called the observer, the witness, the knower. This is an aspect of the mind. It is still just mind, conceptual mind, but it is a mind which is standing back and looking at what is going on, as if at a distance. In itself, this is not ultimate reality, because it is still a dualistic mind. But it is a vast improvement on the way we normally think, because it gives us the space to see a thought as a thought and an emotion as an emotion. Then we can decide whether this is a useful thought or emotion or not. We know it for what is, rather than being absorbed in it. We no longer identify with it.
If we develop this inner awareness, which is like an inner space, we can ride the waves of life. People imagine that to be a meditator you have to always live in very tranquil situations and that you are likely to be inundated if a turbulent situation arises. This is true for beginners, just as it is for someone who is learning how to surf. At the beginning, they have to stick to the small waves otherwise they will be bowled over. But an expert surfer looks for the big waves. The greater the waves, the more fun, once you have your balance. The secret is to be balanced, to be poised. To be a good surfer you need to be neither too tense nor too relaxed, just balanced. This is what we need in our practice, too.
When we develop this inner space, everything takes on a dream-like quality. Not dream-like in the sense of being sleepy, but in that it is no longer so solid, so real, so urgent. It has a quality almost like an illusion. You don’t take it quite so seriously, because you are not so totally involved in it. Now when we have that sense of stepping back and seeing life with a degree of clarity, we are able to respond to situations which arise with freshness and spontaneity, instead of our usual automatic response, which is like pressing a button on a machine. We begin to respond naturally and in an appropriate manner.

Ahhh… Zingdad WoW! I must say I have missed your discourses…
You have hit the nail on the head… we are currently in a very ‘dark’ time. And have been so for the better part of 5000 years. Luckily we are slowly waking up to this and realizing that we are not the body but are actually eternal spirit soul and that the body is but a vehcil for our consciousness to migrate through and experience in.
It is said in the Veda’s that the soul is qualitatively the same as the body of the Supreme (which is said to be sac cid ananda – Eternal, Full of knowledge, Full of Bliss) but quantitatively we are MUCH smaller than Him. However never was there a time when any of us didn’t exist. We have always been and will always be. It is however these dark forces of fear that drive us to get attached to the material atmosphere of illusion and forget our constitutional birthright as Divine Beings and children of the Supreme Person. This attachment to fear is what keeps us from the truth, however we are all very fortunate to be here and to be so awakened to these simple, natural realities of being. The mass ignorance of spiritual practice is due to their propensity to ‘enjoy’ rather than to serve. All over the world people are enjoying life and such is the power of the material bondage that it traps us by our own karmic actions. However again we are VERY fortunate as we are at the dawn of a “new world order”
This new world order is nothing like the one talked about here. It is in fact the same new world order that has been successfully predicted in Veda’s by Lord Krishna Himself as well as by the Mayan Timekeepers. We are entering into a “GOLDEN AGE” – The Golden Age of Kali Yuga – which will continue for 10 000 years. This golden era is the ascension of spiritual activity and pious living. Where we will change the world by our LIGHT. These lower frequencies of fear, anger and delusion have no place in world where people are compassionate, caring and thoughtful of others. This is evident in the many wonderful things happening in the world around us. People are waking up and boy its happening FAST! 😀 Those who refuse this way of life at first will slowly but surely realize the errors of their ways and will join us all in manifesting this amazing prophecy.
Through ones own sadhanam we can slowly become fine examples for others to follow by giving them our association and showing them that life is really just an opportunity for God realization and Self realization. Once the spirit becomes Self realized, it immediately remembers its constitutional position as a servant of the Supreme, and servant of the creation of the Supreme.
So all of you Lightworkers, healers, mediums and fellow awakened God conscious souls can unite to help to play your part in ushering in the REAL NEW WORLD ORDER as prophecized by the Origional Supreme Person Himself: Lord Sri Krishna – when He appeared on this planet 5000 years ago before the end of the bronze age and by returning back to Spiritual Realm. Beginning Kali Yuga or ‘the age of quarrel and hypocracy’ 5000 years ago on this planet.
So we really have nothing to fear, as death is certain for all. So don’t care about how you die… Care about you lived… Love, Compassion, Tolerance, Guidance, Peace, Humility, Honesty and God Consciousness. Talk to your Inner Voice… Talk to the God in your heart and make a commitment to live as His tool to bring about this wonderful shift in divine consciousness.
BIG LOVE!
