Let's bloom like lotus

Every one of us is born with just two types of fear.   -> Loud sound   -> Heights pic courtsey: http://thomasmcgreevy.com/fear/ Other fears are inculcated into us through our culture and the surrounding environment. Through our life we accumulate lots of fear inside us. This leads to a form of mental speculation around us. The smaller the mental circle higher the constraints we put on ourselves. We start to live in our own imaginary limits. When we start aligning with our fears, their control over us increases. Sometimes we are unable to do what we like, due to the amount of fear that gets accumulated in our mind those are the times we feel handicapped by our thoughts. How to come out of this vicious cycle of fear? Fear is a protection technique of our mind from any kind of danger. But due to our way of life “ fear” instead of protecting us it brings us more harm. Because, we are implementing it in a wrong way. How to come out of this unnecessa...

We are advanced in many ways when we compare with our past generations of human evolution. For instance, cheap and easy modes of communication, advanced technology, better forecasting natural disasters, advanced medical tools, more comforts and luxurious lives etc.. But when we start to think in an intellectual way we will clearly understand how miserably we have failed in many and advanced in very few. The most important connection that we are losing is the connection with Mother Nature. We don’t have small streams which relaxed our past generation; we don’t have fruit trees around us which fed our past; we don’t have wells that supply sweet drinking water; we don’t have air that gives us fresh oxygen, we don’t have landscapes to see the sun set, we don’t have the calmness to listen to the beautiful sounds of birds and insects that makes us sleep, our evening sky is no more filled with flocks of birds.   I no more get fresh food without chemicals; I no more see my nei...

Any life is incomplete without ups and downs. Our life flows through time, i.e. from birth till death. We feel good times flies fast and bad time moves very slow, sometimes we feel we are stuck in the time. Only during our failures, we apply the break and observe our condition. Sometimes we eagerly wait for the bad time to end. The more desperate we are, the time moves further slow, creating more pain physically and mentally. So, How to handle bad times without creating any bad scar in our life? We tend to make more mistakes and harm our self when we are mentally low. Step 1 : Accept that you are in pain/ trouble / failure , one can never solve a problem without accepting its existence. Step 2: If possible, find the cause for your situation.   Step 3: Write down the ways you can solve it. (When you write down your problem and its solutions, you will understand that the problem is limited and smaller because when we mentally see the problems we feel its huge and m...

Before getting in to our topic lets define apparent and ultimate reality Apparent reality is ordinary conventional truth and ultimate reality abstract truth. Eg. The smooth surface of the table we set is the apparent reality and in other sense the apparent surface consists of forces and vibrations that cause friction. That is the ultimate truth. So let’s see, how this concept is related with our life? Let’s understand this concept with an eg. We simply define success in the following terms, è      Wealth è      Fame è      Looks Right ?(money can buy all the above) Millions of people follow an actor, a sports player, a musician etc.. Of course we are greatly influenced by the media. And feel completely normal for exhibiting these characteristics. And few of us put in a lot of efforts to have style like them, buy the products recommended by these people, and follow them crazily which makes these celebr...
