 THINK NO EVIL: Embracing Wisdom and Overcoming Worry 

Embracing Wisdom: 

Education and knowledge are distinct from wisdom, which stems from a mindset of not harboring ill thoughts toward anyone, anywhere, or at any time. This principle of right action is grounded in three key practices: seeing no evil, hearing no evil, and speaking no evil. Each individual possesses an inherent capacity for wisdom, akin to a mental light bulb of varying wattage—be it 30, 60, 90, or even 700 watts. Fulfilling our responsibilities involves utilizing our mental "bulb" to its capacity, ensuring its cleanliness to minimize energy loss. By performing what we can and a bit more within our capacity, we fulfill our duty.

 

 
Strategies for Overcoming Worry: 

1.   Acceptance:   Recognize that anxiety is a natural facet of life, and experiencing worry doesn't set one apart from others.

  2.   Time Management:   Allocate a specific time to address worries, limiting the extent to which they consume your thoughts.

  3.   Problem Solving:   Confront issues honestly during the designated worry time, taking action where possible. If no immediate solution exists, postpone dwelling on it until action can be taken.

  4.   Perspective:   Keep worry in perspective, acknowledging it as just one aspect of life.

 

5.   Gratitude:   Cultivate gratitude by focusing on things for which you are thankful.

  6.   Outward Focus:   Redirect thoughts toward external matters and other individuals.

  7.   Trust in Higher Power:   Find solace in the belief in a higher power, recognizing that strength is readily available when needed.

 Religion: The Exact Science of Cultivating Clarity 

RELIGION: Beyond Superstition and Dogma, a Personal Science of Experience 

Religion is not a mere belief or superstition; it transcends dogma and necessitates personal experience. Unlike science, which operates through collective and objective inquiry, religious experimentation delves far deeper into the individual realm. In the profound exploration of meditation, the transformative process is intimate and personal, with no external witnesses. Although others may perceive a change in you, the mysterious nature of this transformation eludes their understanding.

Just as in the realm of love, where the experiencer comprehends the depth of emotion, religion, especially in prayer and meditation, surpasses even love's profundity. Yet, amidst contemporary assertions that label religion as superstitious or dogmatic, it is crucial to recognize that religion is, in essence, a science. This understanding holds true not for organized religions like Christianity or Hinduism but for individuals like Buddha, Jesus, and Krishna. The truly religious are those who venture beyond conditioned beliefs, exploring the depths of truth independently.

The Buddha's guidance emphasizes the rejection of blind belief. He urges disciples to refrain from unquestioning acceptance, advocating that true understanding arises only through personal knowledge. Genuine religious seekers demonstrate a daring spirit, a profound thirst for truth that surpasses social formalities. The essence of religion lies in its meticulous science, fostering clarity, perceptiveness, and transparency within one's being. Through this precision, individuals gain the ability to perceive reality as it is, unveiling the essence of godliness without the need for external proofs. In the world of religious experience, self-evidence reigns supreme, surpassing the need for belief.

IF HE EXIST

 I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting 7 precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
