[www.keralites.net] Three C's to avoid!

 

 

Peace of mind is something that we all crave for. We cannot achieve this state without putting effort. After all, peace of mind is not something that can be procured by spending money or by force. The mind needs to be balanced and in equilibrium before it can reach that state. For the mind to be balanced, we have several 'dos' and 'don'ts' to follow. Given below are three 'don'ts' which go a long way to achieve that state. They are described as the three Cs. Criticizing: The first C is criticizing. It is one of the most natural talents that we all have. Our minds seem to be tuned to find fault and spot blemishes. Many a times, we see problems where none exist. It is as if our minds have the uncanny knack of identifying a problem. At the same time, our tongues are eager to let others know of our 'superiority' in being able to articulate those problems. When we criticize thus, unnecessarily, we are unknowingly building resistance as well as enemies. These lead to unwarranted arguments and attempts to prove a point. Moreover, our minds which get clouded in negativity refuse to let us reach the state of equilibrium. Complaining: The other C is similar to the first C and yet more damaging. Complaining is taking criticism to a higher level and almost results in condemning others. As long as it is constructive in nature and comes with intent to resolve and rectify, it is still bearable. What takes the cake is complaining which sounds like whining. It is other extreme of appreciating. It creates a huge negative whirlpool from which we are unable to extricate ourselves. We also carry the feelings of hurt and annoyance in our minds which prevents us from experiencing bliss. Comparing: Another C which we seem to be unable to avoid is the comparison bug. It is almost like a virus which is in the air. Many of us are comparing all the time - ourselves with those around us. It could be about anything - wealth, friends, physique, job, dogs, appliances etc. It gives us momentary pleasure when we see others in a worse situation than us and also give us sleepless nights when we see others enjoying more than us. Comparison is a never ending maze where people get lost and unable to recover their bearings. It is a method of inventing joy / sorrow out of nothing. These three Cs are best avoided and conscious efforts taken to prevent ourselves from getting entrapped here. It would be a good idea to ask one of our close spiritual friends to help us in the process. If someone were to remind us each time we use these Cs, it will help us tremendously in making course corrections. Over time, we might become habituated to completely avoid them and progress towards the much coveted state of peace in our minds.

[www.keralites.net] Instant Answers and Solutions!

 

 

Instant Answers and Solutions! Suppose, one gets instant answers and solutions, with no scope for questions and problems? Will it be bliss or boredom? Well, I feel that nature actually intended instant answers and no problems at all. It will be only bliss. If nature is not destroyed and when one flows with the rhythm of nature, the feeling can only be one of rapture. A child has no problems; it can smile very happily, why? Happiness is the immediate feeling that one gets after a success. The main point is that feeling. When that feeling pervades as nature, then nature and bliss become synonyms. Nature by itself is happiness only. Unfortunately we have made ourselves problem addicts. When nature is destroyed, by the cutting away of trees, the rapture of thousands of organisms inhabiting every single tree gets destroyed and the clean nature gets muddy. In pure undisturbed nature, birth and death will be taken as very natural parts of happiness. Going against nature was sin and adoring nature was the adoration for God. Death was having a very positive connotation. The basic paradigm of death as a wonderful and positive next creates completely new understanding requiring a new dictionary. When you can see everything—atoms, energies, the energy blending happening continuously which is the real reality, then, you can neither see nor conceptualize yourself. You become part of the ever changing universe, which can only be rapture. All of us are in search of happiness. We want to forget ourselves in happiness or rapture. Why? Because, we want to belong to the real Universe, a no problem, a no question situation. Now, in the name of economic growth (the horrible jobless growth),we are busy destroying the ecosphere, imagining the feeling-less economic diagrams, the growth curves... as expertise, the ultimate foolishness. The fraud called economic growth has now developed into sudden decoity, like the iron bridge proposed for construction right in the middle of Benguluru, for VIP convenience, by cutting away about a thousand two hundred year old trees because some group wants to steal about two thousand crores of rupees, the waste involved for the permanent damage called the bridge. Open decoity is now euphemized as development and cutting away trees and destroying the environment has become casual. The point is we want to wound nature continuously and become happy because of that economic growth! We want the tree-less, water-less deserts filled with concrete and find happiness! We are in reality becoming the sorrow addicts. The number of people with diabetes, BP, heart, kidney, liver, mind ailments, is increasing many times more than the jobless growth, we are taking pride about. If only we can see everything, atoms, energies etc, then we can see the damage we are causing to ourselves. When nature is in undisturbed and un wounded bloom, when you see everything you get subsumed in rapture. But when nature is poisoned, wounded, buthered, burnt...you find only suffering and when you can see everything you get subsumed in the absolute misery, wherein also you cannot find yourself. Nature in its pristine glory subsumes you in rapture. The nature polluted and wounded...subsumes you in misery.
