Learning the Art of Living - II

Day III


If you want to remove the complaints from your life, its is very important to understand the Power-Responsibility cycle. The only people who complain about things are the ones who are not responsible for them.The person responsible will complain much less or not complain at all. If you dont want to complain about your life, or work, increase your feeling of belonging. Do more. As you will take more responsibility of your own life, you will reduce complains around it, and increase the power that you hold on it. Not only life...anywhere, wherever if you are more responsible, you automatically attain more power, whether at work, or at home, or even among your friends..
Think about what you can contribute to every moment!
Lessen the usage of 'try ' from your sentences. The more you commit, the more you'll perform, and success will be ensured.

DAY IV

ध्यानं मूलं गुरुमूर्त्य
पूजा मूलं गुरुपदम
मंत्र मूलं गुरुवाक्यम
मोक्ष मूलं गुरुकृपा
Meaning: Where God is your Guru, try to meditate and eventually become like your Guru. Walk on the path what your Guru has showed. Bring the meaning of your guru's words into your life as your mantra. And when you do all of that, your Guru's blessings are your nirvana.
Practice non violence..not only in action, but also in your speech, as sometimes, violent words can do more damage to a person than knife.
Of all the emotional or mental troubles that we go through, most are caused by our ego getting disturbed.Do not even let your good actions get to your ego, because then you're losing the point of the good action itself.
Man is a bundle of thoughts, wishes, dreams, fears and concerns. These are the things that make our mind so cluttered. Inculcating and increasing our tolerance, patience, encouraging good and courage makes our life simpler, which is a less stressful, easier way of living.


DAY V


एक पानी की बूँद, जब समुद्र में गिरती है, तो वो अपना अस्तित्व खोकर समुद्र ही बन जाती है .
वाही पानी की बूँद अगर कीचड में गिरती है, तो वो अपना अस्तित्व खोकर खीचड़ बन जाती है.
It is very important in life to decide, whom are you going to be with, and with whom are you going to be one with, to choose your Guru, your God.

Learnt how to perform Sudarshan Kriya at home.
Performed Disha Pranayam.

DAY VI

ध्यान, श्वास, और भावना को जोड़कर अगर हम कोई आसन करें तो वही योग कहलाता है.

Asanas to perform daily:
Titli aasan
Makar Asan
Bhujang aasan

Another food for thought:
We pray in our temples, believing the stone statues to have life, power, and asking for their blessings. Why don't we treat our own body, which is actually alive, with more respect! True God resides within us.
