Impermanence

The fundamental of this universe is impermanence. Nothing remains the same for two consecutive moments. The Buddha implored us not just to talk about impermanence, but to use it as an instrument to help us penetrate deeply into reality and obtain liberating insight. Without impermanence life is not possible. How can we transform our suffering if things are not impermanent?
If you suffer, it is not because things are impermanent. It is because we start believing things are permanent. When a candle breaks, we do not suffer much, when an expensive watch breaks, we also don’t suffer so much. When someone close to your heart leaves, you suffer a lot, because at some corner, you must have positioned him / her as permanent to yourself. The key issue is you can cannot accept the impermanence of your beloved one, and you suffer deeply when she/ he passes away.
With impermanence, every door is open for change. Impermanence is an instrument for our liberation. Lord Krishna says “Braham Satyam Jagat Mithya” (Lord is true and this materialistic world is false)

Relaxation

Can we learn the art of relaxation? After a long mental and physical run, visit a place of your choice – (preferably) spiritual, sit down, let your thoughts be free, feel the miracle of nature, the dance of your breath, the rhythm of your heart, the gentle touch of the breeze, flying birds.....the epitome is in being relaxed, being at ease with oneself. Let your mind and soul be calm and feel the value of relaxation. You will feel the thoughts emerging from silence. The nature of human being “higher self” is silence, peace….while that of lower self is restlessness and unlimited ambitions (centred on yourself). Most of the time we all trust our lower self, that is full of ego, rigidity, stingy and non-cooperative attitude. Spiritual growth and true relaxation happens when we negate our lower self. Think through you must have experienced such moments, have felt yourself charged- for sure- yes. That is the moment of relaxed stage, which one should, experience and practice as a cleansing process. Once you start practicing you will notice hidden secrets of life flowing inside you. You will sense a sense of completeness. From the completeness, the completeness is born. If you remove the completeness from completeness and the completeness alone remains.

No hard feelings

Mahatma Gandhi Said, The Weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attaribute of the Strong. A shoulder for a shoulder and a fist for a fist is beastly conduct, whereas forgiveness for an offence is devine. Forgiveness is the attribute of the brave. I can forgive, but i cananot forget, is only another way of saying I can not forgive. For forgiveness one has to think from soul not from mind and for thinking from soul one has to practice and he can turn to be Yogi, so someone with Forgiveness attitude is for sure is Yogi.
