Does fish strain to swim? No, it is its nature to swim in water with ease.
Does Sun strain to shine? No, it is its nature to shine with ease
Do we strain to breathe? No, it is our nature to breath in and out with ease. We don’t even notice that we are breathing.
Likewise, it is our nature to achieve our desires in life with ease.
Likewise, it is our nature to be happy in our life with ease.
Likewise, it is our nature to have an ageless body with ease.
All along this society have done mind manipulation with thoughts like
a. No pain No gain
b. We born out of sin
c. Rich become richer, poor becomes poorer
d. Money is evil
e. Too much of money is bad for you
Come out of this old age thoughts, and start believing that whatever your will might be, if you believe you can do, you would end up achieving it.
I will try my best
I have tried but I could not succeed
I try to study hard and get good marks
I tried to get this job – but could not get that
The list (not limited) is very common words we use every day.
I was just thinking what we mean by trying. What is the point we are conveying?
Assume this. There is a PEN in your desk, and if I tell you to try to take that PEN, can you do it?
-

If you have picked up the PEN in your hand – I am not impressed, because I just wanted you to try and not pick the PEN.
If you are moving your hands very close to the PEN – I am not impressed though, because I just wanted you to try and not move your hands.
If you are sitting and watching the PEN – I am not impressed, because I just wanted you to try and not sit idle.
All I wish to convey, is there is nothing called TRYING – either you do it or you don’t. It is in your MIND.
If you say – I try to get the job, it is up to you to decide in your mind whether you get the job or you don’t get the job, there is no other option.
Having said that, why don’t we think positive about the outcome and tell -
I shall do it
I shall get the job
I shall earn money
Etc
And just achieve it (as simple as it. Isn’t it?)
Again your comments are welcome
One of the survey revealed that 90% of the respondents voted that the money is bad, and 10% said money is good.
Another survey revealed that 95% of the same respondents said that they want to be rich.
Do you see the disconnect here?
The people who stated the money was bad wanted to become rich. How can we achieve something which we presume as bad?
Our society preaches that the money is the mother of all evil, and the same society give VIP status to the rich. It is full of contradiction.
Some people say that they need money little enough to lead a comfortable life, because they fear that too much of money make them evil, and the same people jealous someone who live a luxury life.
What you think about it? Please post your comments.
I shall share my views on this after some time.
Some of us would live either in past or in future. For e.g., some would always think about the events happened in past and feel sad for whatever had happened, whatever others had said, whatever didn’t happen, etc.,
Some would always think about the events which are going to occur and worry whether it would happen this way or that way. whether it would happen or not. What if it does happen that way, how need to react. What if it doesn’t happen, and how need to act. etc.,
Please note that I dont find anything wrong or right here, but my view is by doing the above, we lose the precious moment of our life i.e., NOW. Because of either thinking about the past or the future, we would have not spend good quality present moment with your family which would be a cause for rift in your family. we would not have spend good quality time in your job, which would have caused low salary hike in your appraisal.
If you closely notice, that we call the current moment as PRESENT Moment, because it is a gift to us from god to live the life at that moment.
I would love to use the current minute / current second for my betterment i.e., either in my family harmony if i am at home or in my career development if i am at office.
For e.g., if you are driving, and if you dont live that moment as a driver and if you focus all your thoughts on whatever had happened or whatever might happen in future, you might put your life at risk.
If a cricketer dont live the moment if he is batting, then he might get dismissed and his team would have got affected because of his problem.
For all, who are asking me - whether planning for future is a problem or whether learning lessons from past is wrong, my response would be you can very well proceed with your future / past thinking provided you are happy in current moment. If not, I dont find a reason you doing it.
For those, who are willing to live the moment, but wouldn’t avoid thinking about the past or thinking about the future all the time - all you need to do is live consciously and a bit of mind manipulation would help you. Contact me for futher customized details for you.
As always - please fell free to post your comments in my blog.
Happy reading.
Most of us were told by our society that we should loves others, we should be nice to others, we should forgive others, etc.,
I am not denying the above, but all that are possible only when you love yourself first.
Unfortunately, I don’t find that as a case. Most of us are not having very high opinion about ourselves.
We often think
(a) We are burden to the people we love
(b) We are burden to this world
(c) We are losers
(d) We are worthless
(e) We are not lucky to enjoy all the good things in life
(f) No one cares about us
(g) No one loves us
(h) We are living for our children only
(i) We are living for our parents only
(j) We are not having perfect physic (some would feel they are obese / some would feel they are lean and develop inferior complex)
Actually the above list is endless.
By thinking that above, we are not doing good to us.
No one can love others when they don’t love themselves first.
No one can think positively when they don’t think positive about them first.
My new age thought is
(a) Think you are the best creature in this world
(b) Feel good about you
(c) Feel that you are close to god
(d) Think that you deserve the best in this world.
(e) Think that you always get the best in this world.
(f) Feel you are blessed
Automatically you would have higher thoughts about you, and you feel happy. And no happy person would do harm to others, and it would make others love you automatically.
Please comment on this post.
Have you heard about any miracles?
And much more….
Be it any religion – there are avatars who perform Miracles.
We have heard thru Bible stories that Jesus Christ had saved many from acute illness.
We have heard thru our Islam friends that Allah had done many miracles
We have heard about miracles by Sai Baba, Sathya Sai, Sri Amma Bhagavan, Lord Sri Krishna, Lord Sri Ram, Lord Shiva and many more hindu Gods..
Coming to the point, have you ever thought why you were not chosen by God to perform that miracle.
Are you sinned or Are our God biased
Is there any special criterion for our God to pick some and leave rest?
Does God play Bingo and choose your number?
Should you need to leave all your worldly desires to get miracles from god?
Does your bad karma is more than our good karma for not getting miracles from god?
Are you not lovable? Are you not obedient to God? Does your love to God is not enough?
Should you cry and beg God for the miracle?
Should you shout at God to get his attention?
What is that you are missing?
Have you ever thought about it?
Think and post your comments, I shall update this post with my views next time.
Please try to read below
“I wuold liek to tell yuo taht oru mind raed tihs lnie wiht otu ayn probelm becaues ew alreday maed up our mnid”
If you have no difficulty in reading the above line, then you are common and it is very natural for us to read this as our mind is capable of linking it with the pattern we already know.
If you have difficulty in reading the above line, then you are very good – either your mind is fresh or you deny accepting the pattern we already know, and we claim the line as non-readable or with typo errors
The point I would like share with you is all of us, have some judgements about the other person based on our previous experiences. If the previous experiences are good, then we mark the other person as good person, if the previous experiences are bad, then we mark the other person as bad person.
Next time, when we meet that person or when we happen to discuss about that person, our judgement about that person comes to our conscious mind, and accordingly we react.
This is the nature of our mind. There is nothing wrong with that, and you might be absolutely correct with your judgement.
But, sometimes or many times we end up taking a wrong judgement call, and we might not try to understand that person or we might not ready for a new experience from that person.
Interestingly a study shows, that many times we take some other person’s judgement as our judgement when we encounter new people. Our mind can be easily manipulated by other people’s input.
My new age thought would be
(a) Always know that there is a possibility that what we already know as right could end up as wrong, and open your heart and accept people as they are. This would end the conflict within families/society/ this universe.
As always, your comments are welcome.
Many people I met have told me that they don’t enjoy what they do for work and at the same time they stick to the same profession due to other commitments.
It really posts lot of questions in my mind.
Why can’t we do what we love and still make a comfortable living?
Would like to hear from you?
Do you do what you love and still make a living? Or you don’t?
If not, why you couldn’t?
