Being Natural

  • The most important thing in life is being present in the moment. This could be the solutions to all our problems. If we are intensely present in the present or being conscious of every actions we do, could evaporate all our problems.
  • We are responsible for all our problems. Normally we say, somebody hurt us by their words or actions, actually we let some body's words or actions take control of our mind, which would lead us to be unhappy. So let us not allow somebody control our mind.
  • We always keep accumulating our memory bank with all our actions and experiences. This memory is the tool with which our subconscious mind executes all our actions. So our subconscious mind compares each our actions with the memory bank and executes the reaction that was registered in our memory bank for that particular action. In the same way we compare other people's actions with our memory bank (we always believed our actions are the best and our knowledge is the ultimate truth) and judge the other people's action. So by being intensely present in each moment, and conscious of our actions could weaken the hold of our subconscious mind. This memory bank is really the root cause of our misery in this life.

Importance of Breathing

Breathing is the primary function of human body which keeps him alive. This signifies the importance of breathing, we are alive till we are breathing and we are dead once we stop breathing. But we hardly ever notice that we are breathing, breathing normally happens mechanically.You may ask me why should I know about breathing when it is automatically taken care off. Yes, it is automatically happening, but that is the problem, when breathing happens without our consciousness, it gets affected by our emotions and most of the time we will be doing shallow breathing.

If we are at peace or joyous our breathing will be normal,...

Mind and Intellect

According to Indian philosophy, our mind is flow of thoughts. Whenever we have thoughts, mind has to be there. On the contrary, if there are no thoughts then there is no mind. When we are sleeping, there are no thoughts, hence there is no mind during sleep. The state of our mind depends on emotions of our thoughts. When our thoughts are calm and hopeful our mind is calm and hopeful. When our thoughts are agitated, the mind is agitated. Thoughts are not static they are always flowing, it is like a river, sometime goes through turbulence, sometime flows in calm. Intellect is our decision making capability. Intellect directs the flow of thoughts, that is mind. If our intellect is noble, the thought flowing must also be noble. Through our sense organs, the mind receives external stimuli . The intellect, being the discriminating faculty, examines and judges the stimuli received by the mind, and decides what needs to be done. This decision is sent to the organs of action. Intellect depends o...

The root of suffering is attachment

“The root of suffering is attachment”  - Buddha An important teaching that we all need to work on. Non-attachment doesn’t mean to disconnect from your loved ones and lead a life of a hermit, but to be able to live amidst all this and accept the impermanence of all things. It means to go with the natural flow of life and not be attached to any of these things that the thought of losing it makes you angry or annoyed. Its only when you become attached, that all the problems and negative emotions arise. But when you don’t cling to things, it becomes easier to simply let go of the excess or things that don’t serve you any more.
