to sleep after a long hard day.
This article will help you to relax.
The first step is quite simple. Take
a nap . it is simple and very effective. It is way to learn how to relax. One
does not have to take a long nap even a 20 minute nap is very effective. A nap

simply take a nap. The midday drowsiness is a natural part of your body’s
rhythm. You will find that a short afternoon nap is very restful. Sleeping is
not necessary for a good nap lying down or just resting can be also effective.
Another very restful activity can be
writing a daily journal of your thoughts. This an excellent way to relax and it
may also help you examine problems that have been bothering you.
Keep a dream diary. Write every
morning about what you dreamed about.
This will leave our feeling fresh for the day.
Listening to soothing sounds or even
sounds of nature are also very relaxing and refreshing . taking a walk is very

Progressive relaxation is very

place to be all by yourself. Close your eyes and begin to tighten and untighten
your fists for 3 times, over and over again. Hold them for 5 seconds then
release . note the contractions between tension and relaxation. Next repeat
this sequence with other body parts. For example your abdomen, your chest, your toes and so on., try to limit each
stretch to that bdoy part . concentrate on the pleasurable feeling.

Best will come back to you
Life is an echo all come back; the
good, the false, the true. So give to the world the best you can and the best
will come back to you
Praise a friend in public and
criticize in private.
Quote from the true Charm and power of Vedanta
Every devotee is inspired by this
truth, when truly comprehended, that there is God’s grace available to him or
her. That is what will carry him or her onward in life thereafter, in a
beautiful and natural and rewarding blending of self-effort and Divine Grace,
until blessing of Divine Grace engulfs the devotee
When people understand religion
correctly as the science of total human unfoldment, they will realize , that
there is no gulf between man’s secular life and man’s spiritual life . External
and internal are only formal expressions,. Life or Reality knows no separation
like this. What is external is also internal . Narayana the Indwelling Divine,
says the Narayana Upanishad, exists filing the inside and the outside of man
and the universe.
Atah bahica tat sarvarh
Vyapya narayanah sthitah.
So, when you are working in the
world, you are working in and through Narayna Himself. You are not really away
from Him. Vedanta says that God is both transcendent and immanent. He is within
as well as without. Sri Ramakrishna told Vivekanda; Learn to see God with eyes
closed as well as with eyes open; with eyes closed in mediation and with eyes
open during work and inter-human relations.”
So , in the early stages one one’s
life, when one is dealing with the world, one is actually in touch with the
Divine as well. She or he doesn’t know it yet but that awareness will dawn
depending upon how one handles one’s life And this truth will dawn fully on him
or her, when that great strength gained by one’s self-reliance and self-effort
is able to go beyond itself to a still greater strength, the strength which is
self-surrender in the Divine. This is the only occasion when surrender becomes
supreme victory. The knowledge dawns that the breeze of Divine Grace has been
gently carrying onward his or her little boat of individuality on the waters of
life towards the ocean of total fulfillment. This also means that life and
action continue even after self –surrender, but now naturally and spontaneously
and effortlessly and as an instrument of the Divine and for the good of the
world.
So, in Vedanta it is said; Even to
turn towards God, or towards striving for liberation, man needs His grace,
‘Only through grace of God do you get even this tendency towards spirituality ,
this thirst for the highest. Belies Pascal, the mathematician mystic of the
seventeenth century, felt Lord Jesus telling him
‘I love thee more ardently the thou
lovest thine abomination (sins)…
Thou couldst not seek Me, if thou
didst not possess Me Be not there for troubled.
Seeking is also finding , because
what is sought for is also the highest truth within us. That is the way Grace
operates in human life; but we fully recognize it only when we become
spiritually mature with the strength of manliness leading to the strength of
godliness or saintliness in total self –surrender. Then , from that height ,
one can say; ‘MY play is done; One I see the truth; everything was and is
Divine Grace. Personal effort and self-surrender to the Devine are only the
earlier and later phases of man’s spiritual life in Divine Grace.
I wish all of you complete success
in your spiritual training, growth, and fulfillment from manliness to
godliness, form manliness to saintliness. That is complete philosophy of life;
and that is the yoga of the Gita.
