Note:
The other name for this type of "Kerosene" is "Heating Oil".
Kerosene is used as a cooking fuel, mostly restricted to some portable stoves for backpackers and to some less-developed countries, where it is usually less refined; usually contains impurities and even debris.

As a heating fuel, it is often used in portable stoves, and is sold in some filling stations. It is sometimes used as a heat source during power failures in developing countries.

Heating oil is a clean burning, highly efficient fuel that produces negligible amounts of smoke and soot emissions. Heating oils are graded 1 through 6, with Fuel Oil No. 2 being one of the most common.

As the name suggests, heating oils are primarily used in burners and furnaces to heat buildings and residences. It is typically stored in above ground or underground tanks near the point of use, with a key safety feature being that it will not burn in its liquid form. Depending on market supply and demand, heating oils can offer a cost-efficient solution to your energy needs.

Please submit your terms and procedure for review. Thank you!

The difference between a SEED and a FRUIT

Have you ever paused and wondered about seed, how it grows, the growing challenges, and the conditions in which it has to grow? I bet you must have heard about seeds and fruits in discussions many a time as well. Many of us hold these discussions without paying a real close attention to the seed-growing concept. Even if we start paying attention from hereon, the one million dollar question still remains, 'what is the difference between a seed and a fruit?' Though the effect is nothing but cause in another form, but frankly, there is no difference between a seed and a fruit. The whole intelligence of the fruit must be in the seed. The seed cannot grow into a fruit unless the intelligence of the fruit is embedded in the seed. You might not be able to see the fruit in the tiny seed but that doesn’t mean its not there, and that doesn't mean the intelligence of the fruit can’t exist in a subtle form in the tiny seed. The cause has to contain the intelligence to produce the required effect.

Why am I saying all these things? Because the wool/veil of concealment has just been recently removed from my inner eyes, that, we all have the abilities and causes to attract and produce all those fantastic things we dream. All we've got to do is meditate on the seed which we already own, which we already possess and then watch as the universe works it's magic filling us with the choices of love, light, abundance and joy.

We have every right to become rich.

We have every right to enjoy the best of relationships.

We have every right to benefit from healthy bodies and minds.

We have every right to each own businesses of our own.

All the good things in life should come to us. "Should", that is the word, and if they do not, there are ways and means for allowing them to come to us and this is why I am so excited to introduce tell you that the greatest wise men and women knew something about human consciousness that you are probably not aware of”. But this is coming as a wake up call to create a path for a better tomorrow from the ever flowing pool of eternal possibilities.

Change will happen with lightening speed. Abundance will come rushing to your doorsteps and love will light your way at every step once you understand the power of ramping up your consciousness using the vehicle of meditation or reengineering the way you think. Read the following books: "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill; "Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health" by L. Ron Hubbard; "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, and you can also attend one of Sri Vishwanath's "No-Nonsense Meditation" teleseminars.

The first thing to understand is that Meditation is not an activity. It is not an exercise which you choose to do during certain times of the day. Meditation is like breathing. If you stop it you lose your awareness and connection with the life force. It has got nothing to do with sitting in one place and closing your eyes. Meditation is simply a medium to convert powerful thoughts into reality.

There is a old saying “ Every thought that you think is a little hammer blow on the lump of iron which our bodies are, manufacturing out of it what we want it to be. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; thoughts become things, because they travel far. So take care of what you think.” How do we do that? How do we take care of what we think? We all know that we have a past and our past shapes our present and out of our present evolves our future life. Why are we stuck up in our life? Why don’t we have the ability to convert our dreams into reality? What is stopping us?

"For a long time, it had seemed to me that life was about to begin- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin, I thought. At last, it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life...", so says Dr. Alfred Dsouza.

The supreme obstacle is the doorway to ultimate success. This is the highest truth. Your past is a fact. It is not a reality. Your current circumstances do not reveal your true nature. It only reveals your current state of thinking. So despair not. Your current circumstances can quickly be altered by changing your nature of thoughts. Look what I said. I said “by changing your nature of thoughts” .

Pay close attention to the lives all the great men and women, all their success stories, and you'll find a common thread amongst all of them... “That which you seek you already own. Acknowledge it and everything that you deeply cherish will manifest itself in abundance...”

What is the greatest mistake we make in reaching out for our dreams? We start with the assumption that we do not possess the fruit (goals). That we are lacking something and we focus more and more on the fruit and less on the abilities (seed and environment) which can help us grow the fruit.
 
- Much appreciation and credit to the most invaluable emails I received from Sri Vishwanath (The Secret Teacher).
