What makes you angry?

#MyTakeaway 

People who have the weakness of keeping everything perfect tend to get angry.

People who have some emotional weak points tend to get angry. 

People whose weakness is attachment, tend to get angry.

People with weak ego, tend to get angry. 

People with the weakness of "seeking attention", tend to get angry. 

People with the weakness to 'seek justice' in every situation tend to get angry. 

So my takeaway from the above quote is that our anger stems from some or the other weakness. Just becoming aware of our weakness, dawns an acceptance of the weakness. And it's important to identify it as a weakness. If we figure out a way to justify it we are again pushing ourselves down the road to anger. 

Jai Gurudev! 

Have patience! your efforts will eventually give fruits.

#MyTakeaway 

Mango tree take 5 years for mangoes to sprout while berries produce fruit in less than a year. 

Sometimes we take action and expect the results to blossom immediately. It's not necessary that we will get our returns immediately. 

Human minds are complex. If you give an advice today, you may never know when will it benefit that person at what point in his/her life! Certain type of investment gives quick returns while some give steady and long term returns.

Some ideas bring immediate results, while some take a lot of hard work and years of sacrifices to show some result. 

Similarly many a times people ask 'Why do good things happen to bad people?' we may never know at what point in their life their bad karma will sprout!

Just keep sowing seeds of goodness everywhere. Be good to people. Be kind, be generous, be empathetic, be lovable, empower people around, take them out of their loneliness, give them their solace, make them laugh. You may never know which of these seeds will sprout at what time in their life! 

Decoding freedom

#MyTakeaway 

Do we feel connected everywhere? We are comfortable at one place while uncomfortable at the other. We are comfortable at places where we feel connected. How amazing it would be to feel at home everywhere and with everyone! That can happen when we would feel connected to everyone and every situation. When we embrace difficult situations, when we accept the flaws of our dear ones, when we smile at a challenge posed by the day or when we can talk to a stranger with equal ease. That is the state of unconditional love. Where there unconditional love there cannot be fear or hatred. The situations that we tend to avoid become acceptable to us. While enlightenment seems to be the pinnacle of that state, its worthwhile to make a conscious effort in that direction. 

Don't blame people for their mistakes.

#MyTakeaway 

It's very easy to blame someone for some mistake of theirs. But if we watch closely, even they are not in complete control of their mistake. The action arises out of a thought. The thought is dependent on Tamas, Rajas and Satva in the body. Of course Satva is directly dependent on our food, sleep, breathing and meditation. These factors are under your control. But thoughts are not under our control. Whatever is happening right now in their life is a product of Tamas, Rajas and Satva in their life. So instead of judging the person for their mistake, we can figure out how to increase the Satva in that person's life! Because with rise in Satva, comes the ability to resolve challenges peacefully, be more dynamic and drop negative emotions faster. This empowers us to correct other people's mistakes.

Walk like a king 👑

#MyTakeaway 

In life our so called success parameters go up and down like the stock market. Fame comes and goes. Money also loves to exchange pockets. Power, position is another myth. We have seen tall mountains crumble and we have seen a commoner rising to power. The challenge is that we lose our peace of mind behind these ideas of success set by the society. Our demeanour and our presence is dependent on these ideas of success.

Spiritual wisdom on the other hand is not shaky. It stays with you rock solid. In times of happiness and especially in times of adversities. Hence feel proud to have been established in this spiritual wisdom and walk like a king.
