teachings of the world, one consistent message resonates: the pursuit of great
happiness. It is a quest that transcends borders and cultures, for it is what
every individual ultimately seeks. Yet, happiness eludes no one; it is not
contingent upon external possessions but rather a state of mind that resides
within. The treasures we seek outside are already nestled within us, waiting to
be unearthed.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Life presents myriad
challenges, often cloaked in the guise of maya, or delusion. Relationships,
whether of love or enmity, friendships, and adversities alike can become
sources of perturbation. Amidst these trials, it becomes paramount to adopt a
steadfast resolve: to safeguard one's happiness regardless of circumstances.
True growth lies not in evading loss or hardship but in retaining inner joy
amidst life's ebb and flow. Such resilience leads to the strengthening of
senses, the serenity of mind, and a tilt of fortune in one's favor.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

perfection is a futile endeavor, fraught with frustration and anger. Beneath
the veneer of imperfection lies a hidden perfection discernible only to the
discerning eye. Rather than fixating on flaws, wisdom lies in embracing
imperfection and acknowledging the inevitability of mistakes. To rectify them,
a blend of authority and compassion is requisite, for correction devoid of
empathy breeds oppression, while love bereft of direction lacks substance.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">The illusion of
postponing happiness plagues many, ensnaring them in an endless cycle of
anticipation. Whether it be through academic pursuits, career milestones, or
personal milestones, the pursuit of happiness is deferred indefinitely. Yet,
happiness is not a distant shore to be reached; it is an anchor found in the
present moment. Embracing the now dispels the illusion of a future happiness
that perpetually eludes.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

it is paramount to gain perspective by recognizing the vastness of the world's
challenges. Viewing one's tribulations in this broader context imbues one with
the resilience to confront them with fortitude. Drawing from past experiences
serves as a testament to one's resilience and capacity to overcome. Practicing
mindfulness through breathing exercises, meditation, and introspection offers
solace amidst life's storms, empowering one to navigate with grace.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

responsibility for one's own happiness, one cultivates inner fortitude that
transcends external circumstances. Every challenge becomes an opportunity for
spiritual growth, leading one closer to the wellspring of inner contentment. As
one connects with this source, the senses sharpen, the mind attains
tranquility, and the trajectory of life bends towards fulfillment.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

the daily ritual of penning down one's thoughts and experiences?<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">At its core, the diary

emotions and innermost reflections that often go unvoiced. Whether it be the

serves as a poignant reminder of the immutable truth articulated by the sage
counsel: when engaging with others, one must tread lightly upon the terrain of
emotion, recognizing the profound impact of pride, vanity, and prejudice on human
interaction. In this realm of sentiment and sensitivity, the diary emerges as a
steadfast companion, bearing witness to the kaleidoscope of emotions that
define the human experience.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">In essence, the daily

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

earth. Yet, amidst the clouds of grief, there lies a profound truth – your
sorrow, like a passing cloud, will eventually dissipate, leaving behind a
transformed and enriched soul. This metaphorical rain of sorrows, though
seemingly heavy, is the nourishment that prepares the heart for the blossoming

which is darkened temporarily by rain clouds but ultimately benefits from their
presence, the heart undergoes a similar process with sorrow. The clouds of
grief cast a shadow over the heart, not to perpetuate darkness, but to pave the
way for nobler sentiments. It is during the hours of sorrow that the
superficial fades away, and the deeper aspects of human nature come to the
forefront.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJd5HSj2lonFNtAoSB832JiAoDIUyRfxod-vU6D6xEAtrnvtVAKloGgDN3tduopLwOFUIhCE1eIm2fgi44nE16f5fw7DCa69lmEnLkylUsRtCbTjNbIGRSgvhAI3Z3fnWAWtOEkrPhswh8_gE5uxoSms2E-QIhQ7Yw_bEFhglpDvM4Qd48E8DjqoIBioE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="270" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJd5HSj2lonFNtAoSB832JiAoDIUyRfxod-vU6D6xEAtrnvtVAKloGgDN3tduopLwOFUIhCE1eIm2fgi44nE16f5fw7DCa69lmEnLkylUsRtCbTjNbIGRSgvhAI3Z3fnWAWtOEkrPhswh8_gE5uxoSms2E-QIhQ7Yw_bEFhglpDvM4Qd48E8DjqoIBioE" width="240" /></a></div><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br />In the face of sorrow,
there is an inherent call to reverence. It is a solemn hour that demands
introspection and humility. Sorrow has the power to extinguish the
superficiality of a shallow sneer, the callousness of a ribald jest, and the
malevolence of a cruel calumny. The heart, softened by the downpour of grief,
becomes receptive to the nuances of empathy and compassion. Sorrow,
paradoxically, enriches the mind with thoughtfulness, laying the foundation for
a more profound understanding of life's intricacies.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtZWiMJLghy2f0Y6pdl4ZecsGhZW6nXB-TnrxR90bkBGggS9bw2j6ZyNYduHUpSE-2eRwdC3GCAhuzwiTGjW878cUB9ryKcJqxcQci3XvvGWNAYjiBnHkOi7UrqRKovipnqc_f_RPItOO4j-5doNfCpt4eL_0WUTO5iZ8F7TlY_kuMDHkGSkJjhSphSyE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="270" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtZWiMJLghy2f0Y6pdl4ZecsGhZW6nXB-TnrxR90bkBGggS9bw2j6ZyNYduHUpSE-2eRwdC3GCAhuzwiTGjW878cUB9ryKcJqxcQci3XvvGWNAYjiBnHkOi7UrqRKovipnqc_f_RPItOO4j-5doNfCpt4eL_0WUTO5iZ8F7TlY_kuMDHkGSkJjhSphSyE" width="240" /></a></div><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br />The hour of sorrow is
a transformative phase, a crucible in which character is refined. It is through
the refining fire of grief that the soul emerges with a heightened sense of
purpose and a deeper connection to the shared human experience. In this crucible,
the individual is compelled to confront the fragility of life, fostering a
sense of humility that transcends the mundane concerns of everyday existence.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Wisdom, that elusive
beacon guiding the way through life's labyrinth, is not acquired in the absence
of sorrow. Rather, it is the culmination of lessons learned through the
crucible of pain. Sorrow serves as a teacher, imparting profound insights that
transcend the limitations of joyous moments. It is in the depths of despair
that the seeds of wisdom are sown, and with time, they sprout into a rich
harvest of enlightenment.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">To dismiss sorrow as a
permanent state is to misunderstand its nature. The metaphor of a passing cloud
aptly captures the transient essence of sorrow. Just as clouds drift across the
sky, casting shadows but eventually giving way to the radiant sun, so too does
sorrow pass, making room for the light of hope and renewal.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Life's inherent
ephemerality is both its challenge and its beauty. Sorrow, as an integral part
of this ephemeral existence, serves as a poignant reminder of the impermanence
of all things. Embracing this impermanence allows individuals to navigate the
ebbs and flows of life with resilience and grace.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">In conclusion, the
metaphorical rain of sorrows that showers upon the heart may seem heavy and
burdensome, but it is in this very precipitation that the seeds of wisdom are
sown. The passing cloud of sorrow, though it may momentarily darken the sky of
the heart, will eventually dissipate, making way for the warmth of renewed joy
and understanding. In the tapestry of life, sorrow is not a permanent stain but
a transformative thread, weaving a richer, more nuanced narrative of human
experience.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> Temporal Symphony Navigating the Enigma of Time and Human

of time dilation, where the passage of time varies relative to an observer's
velocity or gravitational field. In this paradigm, time morphs from a fixed
entity into a fluid, subjective experience shaped by individual perspectives.
Psychological studies affirm the malleability of our perception of time,
influenced by attention, emotion, and memory. Thus, while time advances
objectively, its subjective experience remains infinitely mutable.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Amidst this backdrop
of temporal fluidity, human consciousness emerges as a pivotal force in shaping
time. In our relentless pursuit of understanding, we impose order on chaos,
segmenting time into discrete units and assigning meaning to the intervals between
them. In doing so, we not only measure time but infuse it with significance,
weaving a tapestry of moments that define our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">These moments, however

desire to control time often leads to anxiety and existential angst as we
grapple with the ephemeral nature of existence. The pursuit of immortality

time and leave lasting imprints on the world.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHxqDyt8A9Jg3pkb8Mxu7vEvHgcsJlgEpJeVc4mHAqwbddd38agXpZMZF-HIJLmo7RzttJ7lFBDPc6hIP_IUcURhbsaxM-s9Id2uptX1zickZPeB4NrRnf4thDjggzdZVAkmkQu3tj3SWS7SYFYq1Im7S9s6zE8pYVQhxsOioHp3eIXoyDrwJ8DUDgt0w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="270" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHxqDyt8A9Jg3pkb8Mxu7vEvHgcsJlgEpJeVc4mHAqwbddd38agXpZMZF-HIJLmo7RzttJ7lFBDPc6hIP_IUcURhbsaxM-s9Id2uptX1zickZPeB4NrRnf4thDjggzdZVAkmkQu3tj3SWS7SYFYq1Im7S9s6zE8pYVQhxsOioHp3eIXoyDrwJ8DUDgt0w" width="240" /></a></div><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br />In contemplating
whether time defines us or we define time, a symbiotic relationship emerges.
Much like a river shapes the landscape it flows through, our experiences sculpt
the contours of time. In every moment of joy or sorrow, triumph or defeat, we

forward, it is the moments we inhabit—the laughter, the tears, our purpose, the

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

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

engage in work, success awaits you; neglect it, and failure looms. Your
attitude towards your tasks determines your satisfaction – dislike it through
negligence or relish it through diligence. In social circles, finding
contentment lies in the breadth of your connections – narrow groups offer
self-satisfaction, while diverse friendships bring about fascination. Gossiping
invites disdain, while minding your own business earns you favor. Behave
foolishly, and you'll be shunned; act with humanity, and respect will follow.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

ancient wisdom, concealed within the sacred verses of the Atharva Veda, resides
the Manduca Upanishad. Though comprising a mere 12 verses, this Upanishad has
enchanted scholars and spiritual seekers alike, offering a profound perspective
on human consciousness. It delineates consciousness into four states -
wakefulness, dream-filled reverie, deep sleep, and the transcendental state of
"Turiya."</span></b></b></p><b><o:p></o:p></b><p></p>

these realms, a narrative unfolds, intertwining the ancient with the
contemporary. The Manduca Upanishad's exploration of consciousness finds
parallels in the quests of modern science, particularly in understanding brain
function. While wakefulness, dream states, and deep sleep align with
contemporary scientific thinking, the enigmatic "Turiya" remains
elusive, representing a state achievable through years of meditative practice.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

armed with advanced tools like fMRI and EEG, delves into the intricacies of the
brain, deciphering the symphony of interactions giving rise to consciousness.
Yet, the understanding of "Turiya" remains a frontier unexplored by
current scientific paradigms. The Upanishadic perspective suggests that
consciousness is universal, with the brain serving as an interpretive organ
limited by its inherent size and capacity. Thus, a reptile and a human
interpret the universe differently, akin to the limitations of outdated
technology attempting to run modern software.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">The scientific
worldview, rooted in materialism, seeks physical explanations for phenomena.
However, ancient Indian wisdom contends that certain phenomena possess an
extra-materialistic basis beyond scientific determinism. This paradigm,
dominated by tangible realities, limits our understanding to what instruments
can measure and theories can explain. Hindu philosophy proposes the development
of a super-powerful brain to interpret realities beyond the reach of current
scientific tools.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Meditation, rooted in
Upanishadic teachings, emerges as a key to exploring these uncharted depths.
Long-term meditators exhibit gamma waves indicative of heightened
consciousness. Furthermore, meditation can physically increase the brain's
size, challenging conventional notions of aging and cognitive decline. This
coexistence of the mundane and the extraordinary within neural activity points
to a consciousness dimension beyond materialistic frameworks.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

human brain. The Manduca Upanishad's emphasis on the transcendental state of
"Turiya" offers a complementary perspective. Meditation and yogic practices,

this gap, Elon Musk's Neuralink technology emerges as a groundbreaking

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">However, amidst this
technological marvel, a subtle yet crucial link persists—the connection between
the observer and Self, known in Sanskrit as "sakshi." Sakshi, or pure
awareness, observes thoughts without attachment. In the spiritual realm, the
disconnect between observer and observed is deemed essential, as articulated in
Sage Patanjali's 'Yog Sutras'—"Chitta vritti nirodhah."<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Patanjali asserts, emerges when pure consciousness (chitta) is detached from
the disturbances of thoughts (vrittis). In this elevated state of non-dual
awareness, any neural link becomes redundant. The ultimate salvation lies in delinking
thought processes from the true Self, resonating with the profound wisdom
encapsulated in the ancient Sanskrit phrase, "Aham Brahmasmi"—I am
the universe.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

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

concepts of 'I think, therefore I am,' 'Neti, Neti,' and 'Tat Tvam Asi' share
common threads of self-inquiry and understanding but unfold within distinct
philosophical frameworks.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">While Descartes'
proposition serves as a foundational certainty, emphasizing self-awareness and
establishing a starting point for knowledge, 'Neti, Neti' is a method of
negation within Vedanta, systematically negating aspects of the self and the
world to understand Brahmn, the ultimate reality. It is a broader framework
that extends beyond the material world and thinking processes, encompassing the
negation of the body, mind, and other aspects of the phenomenal world.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #943634; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Similarly, 'Tat Tvam
Asi,' translating to 'That Thou Art,' highlights the inquiry into the nature of
the self and the realization of its identity with the ultimate reality. This
concept goes beyond thinking, involving a profound experiential understanding
achieved through spiritual insight and contemplation. It conveys the idea that
Brahmn is identical to Atman, the individual self, emphasizing the unity of the
individual soul with cosmic reality and the interconnectedness of all
existence.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Vedanta explore the nature of self-awareness and existence, 'Tat Tvam Asi' goes
beyond individual thinking and self-awareness to assert a profound identity

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

the scriptures emphasize the profound importance of meditating on the Self as
the key to attaining Moksha, unlocking the door to Brahman, the Supreme
Universal Soul. Despite the indefinable nature of the Atman, the finite human
mind can grasp its concept through tangible attributes. Srimad Bhagavatam, 7th
Skandha, chapter 7, outlines 12 supreme signs that serve as a guide to
recognizing the Self's essence.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

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

in life is a journey filled with challenges and uncertainties. While there is
no guaranteed formula for success, valuable insights can be gleaned from the
lives of accomplished individuals. H.W. Armstrong identifies and delves into
these lessons, presenting them as the "Seven Laws of Success."
Through a thorough examination of successful lives, Armstrong brings to light
fundamental principles that can be considered as guiding laws for those
aspiring to reach the pinnacle of success.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

goal is the initial spark that ignites ambition. Successful individuals have
consistently demonstrated the importance of having a clear, defined objective.
Without a specific goal, progress remains elusive. Armstrong emphasizes the
need for a well-defined destination and strategic plans to propel oneself
toward success.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

in Buddhism intricately guides us through the transformative path from
emptiness to compassion. It emphasizes that emptiness is not synonymous with
nothingness, as clarified by Buddhist teachers. His Holiness the Dalai Lama
sheds light on the profound concept of emptiness, explaining how it can be
wielded as a tool to deconstruct and dissolve the roots of hatred. By
recognizing that our perceptions are often projections, he encourages the
removal of delusions for true freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

his teachings, articulates that emptiness relates to our conception of the
self. Emptying oneself creates space for the emergence of the true self,
unburdened by conditioning and programming. This liberation allows for growth
and a connection with pure consciousness, untethered by past baggage and
concerns about the future. The temporary nature of the self becomes evident,
and the theory of interdependence, interconnectedness, and interbeing is
revealed. The self, as we commonly understand it, exists when its constituents
harmonize, emphasizing the relative nature of everything and the role of the
mind in conceiving existence.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

the necessity of emptying oneself is highlighted as a means to achieve
stillness of the mind. The process is likened to the return of the ten thousand
things to their source, aligning with the natural way. The Holy Bible and Hindu
philosophy echo similar sentiments, underscoring the idea that emptying oneself
allows for the infusion of divine power and connection with the universal
truth.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

spiritual freedom is emphasized by Alexander Solzhenitsyn's observation that
true power lies in the ability to let go of everything. In spiritual terms,
mastering the art of emptying oneself ensures liberation from conditioning,
fears, attachments, emotions, and anxieties. This profound emptiness allows
individuals to stand independent, welcoming the universal truth of pure
consciousness. The culmination is a harmonious connection between the self
(jivatma) and the larger Self (Paramatma), the Infinite, transcending
boundaries and embracing the boundless nature of existence.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

new year signifies more than just a change in dates; it is a moment for
infusing hope, fortifying our psychological resilience. While some may
naturally possess mental strength, many of us need to recommit to it. Homayun
Taba suggests that the start of each year is an opportune time to embark on
this journey of rejuvenation.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">In recounting the
story of a remarkable lady nearing 90, who faced a myriad of challenges
throughout her life, Taba underscores the power of a positive outlook. Despite
enduring hardships such as a broken home, hostile family dynamics, and life in
a war zone, her mantra—“There is nothing that has no solution”—exemplifies an
unwavering faith in positive outcomes. Taba emphasizes that her enduring
laughter today resonates with the philosophy that "this too shall
pass."<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Hope, according
to Taba, acts as an internal gyroscope for hopeful souls, countering external
chaos with a steadfast belief that circumstances, whether good or bad, are
temporary. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl's observations in
concentration camps, Taba describes hope as a life-sustaining potion that
reinforces patience and resilience.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">Hope is not
merely a mood elevator; it harbors a hidden fighting spirit. Conversely,
hopelessness leads to a bottomless pit of despair. Taba notes that those
proficient in hope, even in the face of insurmountable challenges, turn to
prayer as a coping mechanism, finding consolation, grace, and stability.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">An essential
function of hope lies in looking at the big picture, as articulated by Martin
Luther King Jr. The Bible and Quran consider hope an anchor of the soul,
providing surety and steadfastness. While Buddhists caution against craving,
Taba suggests that hope, when balanced, can offer perspective and appreciation
for current blessings.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">In navigating
difficult times, hope allows us to anticipate better outcomes and fosters
optimism and positive feelings. Taba recommends maintaining good cheer in the
face of disorientation by avoiding exposure to toxic news and pessimistic
influences. Ultimately, hope, whether expressed as asha, apeksha, or omid, not
only envisions a brighter future but also provides the energy and stimulation
to move towards it. As we step into the year ahead, may we remember to dwell
with hope.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

verses of the Brihadaranyak Upanishad (1:3:28), encapsulated in three succinct
lines, a powerful spiritual journey unfolds: "Asatoma sadgamaya; Tamaso ma
jyotirgamaya; Mrtyor ma amrtam gamaya" — Lead me from reality to the truth;/
Lead me from darkness to light;/ May I be led from death to immortality.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

delves into the concept of "Asat" or reality, encompassing everything
perceived through the senses. Drawing a parallel to the essence of gold
underlying diverse jewelry designs, the Upanishad unveils two truths — the
relative, contingent maya, and the unconditional, independently existing sat.
The playhouse of infinite forms, maya, is deceptive and unreal, contrasting
with the unity perceived by sat. To see through the multiplicity is not
indifference but an invitation to a profound and meaningful engagement with the
world.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3ENMna2Gl15yno0WqzlDlA4VT03NHgWPtR42M1lKF9VwxoqCGv2zagQQXmFHdLzCFuAVqJbOMFflhEKW-KZ8hLftlJ86ShHzX0QfwL91k2aCp_wsYxNx2l8YqJ5fLuxP7ASU7sZFsbW5uKxLxExfyYKuZ-r1oz7NowBo22HqwzRw86WoXiL87-t7xDws" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="270" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3ENMna2Gl15yno0WqzlDlA4VT03NHgWPtR42M1lKF9VwxoqCGv2zagQQXmFHdLzCFuAVqJbOMFflhEKW-KZ8hLftlJ86ShHzX0QfwL91k2aCp_wsYxNx2l8YqJ5fLuxP7ASU7sZFsbW5uKxLxExfyYKuZ-r1oz7NowBo22HqwzRw86WoXiL87-t7xDws" width="240" /></a></div><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br />The second line
seeks liberation from "avidya," the darkness of tamas, into the
illuminating realm of jyoti, inner light. The awakened state involves the
opening of the "jnana chakshu," eyes of wisdom, piercing through the
veil of maya to perceive sat. While asat is entangled in the diversity of
forms, sat recognizes the underlying oneness — the realization that all is
essentially gold.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

delves into mortality and immortality, drawing from the Chandogya Upanishad
(7:24:1). Here, the prayer seeks deliverance from death in time to a state of
timelessness. The distinction between everlasting and eternal lies in time;
eternity transcends time, existing beyond temporality. The aspirant yearns to
move beyond the limited ego's fear of mortality (ahamkar) to the spacious
consciousness of immortality inherent in one's essential nature.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

prayer serves as a transformative appeal, urging liberation from the
entanglements of time and space. It acknowledges the dual dimensions of
existence — the samsaric, horizontal realm in relation to the world, and the
nirvanic, vertical dimension. The enlightened state integrates both realities,
recognizing their interconnectedness and unveiling moments of awe.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

pessimistic view, these Upanishadic lines advocate a holistic perspective: 'be
in the world but know that you are not of the world.' The essence of the prayer
lies in the second line, emphasizing the liberation from the clouded tamasic
state to the clarity of jyoti, the inner light — a profound journey towards
truth, illumination, and immortality.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

unnoticed. In society, you might be reduced to a visiting card, a politician to
a vote, a traveler to a ticket, and a hotel guest to a number. However, the
true measure of your worth lies in the impact you make.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

journey to become a person with a mission, and you will unveil your personal
heaven on earth. Be "all things to all men," transcending the
limitations society imposes. No one is too small, for a shore is the sum of
small grains of sand, and the ocean is the sum of small drops of water.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

fishing rod, operates with a hook at one end for fishing and blaming, while a

smiles, covering our inner wounds. This pseudo-positivism, while socially

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

true well-being lies in the harmonious interplay of various rejuvenating
elements: a robust spirituality, restful sleep, uplifting music, and the
infectious joy of laughter. Dr. Israel Bram emphasizes a simple yet profound
formula for cultivating health and happiness: Have faith in God, learn the art
of restful sleep, embrace good music, and always find the humor in life.
Following these principles, as prescribed by Dr. Bram, ensures a pathway to a
life filled with both health and happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

adage, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well," holds true in
the pursuit of a happy life. Adding a dash of common sense and a pinch of
patience can transform the way we navigate relationships and responsibilities.

transcends a mere gardening chore, evolving into a deeply rejuvenating and
fulfilling experience that fosters a profound connection with nature. The
rhythmic sound of droplets cascading onto the soil creates a soothing melody,
lulling the mind into tranquility. As one witnesses the magic of life

tangible benefits, the act of watering plants offers a meditative escape from
the hustle and bustle of modern life. It encourages us to slow down, be

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

three short lines can pack all in all a punch, as in the Brihadaranyak
Upanishad 1:3:28: 'Asatoma sadgamaya; Tamaso mama jyotirgamaya; Mrtyor mama

the principal line, alludes to all we see with our five detects. We might take
a gander at shifted plans of gems, however without the fundamental gold as
their actual embodiment, they are without free presence - this is unadulterated
Vedantic view. Consequently, we have two bits of insight, one family member,
contingent; the other, unqualified, autonomously existing and extreme, called
sat. Relative truth, called maya, the playhouse of endless structures, is
dishonest as well as unbelievable.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

line requests freedom from avidya, the obscurity of tamas, unconscious of the
jyoti, internal light. The illuminated, arousing state, is an interaction where
the launch of the jnana chakshu, eyes of insight, gets through the cover of
maya and sees sat. The differentiation among asat and sat is that the previous
is trapped in the snare of maya's variety, while sat sees the hidden
solidarity, unity. While asat is trapped in the variety of gems structures, sat
realizes everything is gold.<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

not to bewail, not to hate human activities but rather to figure out
them," these expressions of Dutch savant Baruch Spinoza can change the
surface of the world and mankind whenever grasped completely. Disparaging,
bewailing, reprimanding, and sentencing have a deigning streak to them.
However, to comprehend is to identify; with human activities. At the point when
we attempt to grasp what is happening, individual, issue, or an issue, we get
to its foundations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson says, "To comprehend is to be
circumspect. It's the unselfishness of soul and the kindness of self."<o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p>

a large group of chances and choices. Every one of the issues and difficulties
on the planet are because of our aggregate failure to comprehend the main
drivers. Once, the Buddha requested one from his pupils, Aniruddha, whether he
had given a food to the bum who used to sit under a banyan tree. "He
manhandles me the second I approach him with food. Along these lines, I keep
away from him and don't go there," Aniruddha answered.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Buddha said nothing. Following day, he
personally went to give a food to that hobo. The bum mishandled the Buddha as
well. Resolute and interminably quiet, the Buddha said, "Child, I've
brought some nourishment for you." That man again mishandled him. The
Buddha said nothing; he just stayed there quietly. After some time, he asked
the hobo, "Child, for what reason do you get exasperated when somebody
attempts to give you food?" The man began crying. He said, when a man gave
him food bound with poison. He some way or another made due however became
dubious of all and particularly of the people who attempted to take care of
him. The consistently grinning Buddha took a chomp of the food that he conveyed
for the bum. "Child, it isn't harmed. It couldn't be any more obvious,
I've tasted it." The hobo quit reviling and acknowledged food from him.
Such is the force of grasping, the initial step to acknowledgment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

quality. It should be perceived as a piece of an interaction. In Energy and
Activity, he says that one should notice and afterward attempt to comprehend.
This will prompt acumen, which thusly will prepare to information and extreme
insight. To put it plainly, we notice, comprehend, perceive, and derive.
Spinoza's humanistic perception empowers and urges us to be sufficiently moral,
and others consciously getting it. Indeed, even the Jain idea of Anekantvaad,
Pluralism, depends on noticing and grasping someone else's stand and position.
The all inclusive nature of understanding is an unquestionable requirement to
soak the flares of brutality, slaughter, and broad separation.</span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #943634; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Spinoza went further to incorporate god too in the
ambit of understanding. As per him one should grasp each peculiarity, including
god, prior to putting stock in it. This is known as Spinoza's god. Einstein too
trusted in Spinoza's god. Of all the seventeenth century logicians, Spinoza is
among the most applicable today since he consolidated reason with vision;
discernment with mankind and energy with activity. He didn't simply
philosophize. He likewise 'acculturated'.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

the most pivotal of which stems from the practical understanding of the adage,
"God helps those who help themselves." This insight emerged from
contemplation on why I, among many others with greater abilities and

that an unforeseen force guides the course of events.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

fulfill his duties to earn the grace of God, recognizing that this grace is
continuous. It's essential not to be proud of temporary success but to strive
for ongoing success, as eloquently expressed in stanzas 45-46 of Chapter 18 of
the Bhagavad Gita. The idea is encapsulated in the aphorism "Work is
Worship."<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

ordinary life; every individual has both good and bad qualities. The judgment
of a person as good or bad depends on the balance of these qualities.
Reputation and character, though related, can differ. Prosperity or poverty is
unrelated to character, as both are found in men with or without character.
This realization fostered an objective approach in evaluating those who
appeared before me.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

immutable law of nature dictating that when one touches rock bottom, the only
direction is upward. Guru Nanak's wisdom echoes this sentiment, asserting that
for the true spiritual seeker, the gurmukh, there is no such concept as defeat;
all is victory. This victory lies in mastering the art of embracing both
success and failure, likes and dislikes, good and bad, with equanimity and
intuition.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

contrast, the manmukh, driven solely by material pursuits, succumbs to the
fluctuations of ego, easily swayed by transient victories and defeats. The
saying, 'Jeeto boodai, haaro tirai,' underscores the potential downfall of the

concentrating, irritability, and disrupted sleep patterns. While there may be
medications to temporarily relife anxiety, they don't offer a long-term
solution, as the symptoms often return when the effects wear off. It's
important to note that many psychosomatic and somatic symptoms can be
attributed to anxiety.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>So, how can one avoid falling into the depths of
depression or anxiety? The answer to the first question lies in the unrealistic
expectations we set for ourselves. We often chase unattainable goals, and when
we struggle to overcome the associated challenges, anxiety and depression can
take hold. The answer to the second question is rooted in our tendency to
prioritize others' approval over our own well-being. For instance, the desire
to impress a boss or seek external validation can lead to stress and anxiety.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p>

to coexist with it. Anxiety is not a constant state but rather comes and goes.
Developing patience is key in understanding that meaningful accomplishments
take time. Practices such as meditation and relaxation techniques can provide
relief from anxiety and depression. Additionally, it is crucial to open up and
talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Patience and maintaining a

from the concept of the spirit, often associated with the soul. The word
'spirit' can be quite contentious, as some individuals question the very
existence of this intangible entity. Those with a materialistic mindset seek
tangible proof of a spirit's existence or demand that if it's a virtual entity,
it should withstand rigorous scientific testing to gain recognition.

necessary to experience it and that subjecting it to scientific scrutiny is
unnecessary.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p>

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

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Throughout our lives, we are bound to engage in
various forms of action and work. In the context of our industrialized society,
the primary driving force behind work often centers on the pursuit of financial
gain. Over time, this focus on returns can coarsen our inner lives, leaving us
dependent on the outcomes of our efforts. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">However, there exist individuals who possess a deep
appreciation for work in and of itself. They find intrinsic joy in the act of
doing, gaining a profound sense of fulfillment from their endeavors. For them,
the rewards stemming from their work take a backseat to simpler forms of
recognition, such as a pat on the back or a word of appreciation. This approach
is exemplified by a mother tirelessly dedicating herself to her family and
children, guided by an innate sense of duty, seeking no extrinsic rewards.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

learning isn't immediately compensated for their efforts. While thoughts of future
prospects and career plans may lurk in the background, the present demands
their complete absorption and devotion to their studies. They must approach
their academic pursuits with a strong sense of duty, transcending personal

attitude, it tends to yield superior results. We discover an increased
wellspring of energy for our tasks, work brings us satisfaction, and we glean
valuable lessons from it. Gradually, this approach enables us to perceive the
broader tapestry of life, revealing deeper meaning in the everyday aspects we
once took for granted. Our self-esteem flourishes, deriving not from the
rewards garnered but from the knowledge that we have committed ourselves to our
work to the best of our abilities. This enrichment of our inner life through
work and action is what's referred to as "Karmayoga."<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

God's consent, none of these states of consciousness can manifest. He is the
ultimate Witnessing Entity for both individual and collective expressions.
While the other three states are relative, the Supreme Being is absolute,

to bridge the gap between these two personalities, bringing them into perfect
alignment. When inner and outer expressions of consciousness are harmonious
with the Supreme Being, duality dissolves, leaving one grounded in enduring
peace and greatness. This path, the union of the self with the Divine, is the

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's important to remember that one person's lie

Can't we see that the effort required to avoid getting caught in a lie only
causes more tension and that lying results in the unnecessary burden of
remembering one's falsehoods? It fills the mind with needless thoughts,
worries, hurts, and untruths, restricting the space available for creativity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">People often focus on expanding their knowledge. In
the East, a distinction is made between knowledge and Being, emphasizing the
development of one's Being. Both knowledge and Being are essential, but when
knowledge transforms into Being, it transcends mere information. Therefore,
both knowledge and Being should be firmly on the path of transformation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">While it's easy to understand that there are
various levels of knowledge, fewer recognize that there are different levels of
Being. Being represents your presence—an essence that can be good, pure,
inspiring, and transparent. We should not confuse mere existence with Being. A
stone exists, a plant exists, a person exists, but their existence differs
significantly. This is where the concept of Being comes into play. The Being of
a plant, stone, animal, human, or the divine all exists at distinct levels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Being is an evolving essence, an evolving presence.
If someone feels hurt because of an unpleasant statement, it reflects their
level of Being. But if they can forgive the person who caused the hurt, it
indicates a higher level of Being. Selfishness reveals one level of Being,
whereas serving others with love and goodness shows a different level of Being.
It's not a matter of judgment but rather a matter of clarity leading to an
opportunity for personal growth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

understanding of fundamental principles and dedicated practice. Whether in
personal or professional relationships, honing one's listening skills proves
beneficial for all parties involved. Despite the significant amount of time we
spend listening compared to speaking or reading, formal training in this area
is often lacking for several reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One common challenge is the constant stream of
thoughts that occupy our minds, making it difficult to swiftly shift our focus
and fully engage with what others are saying. Additionally, the habit of
talking and interrupting can hinder our ability to let the other person speak
uninterrupted, even when doing so would be to our advantage. The eagerness to

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">External factors, such as distractions in the
environment, can divert our attention away from the conversation. Preemptively
forming conclusions before all the evidence is presented or disregarding
statements based on the perceived importance of the speaker can further hinder
our ability to listen effectively. Additionally, we may discard information
that doesn't align with our preconceived notions or preferences.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

consciously refocus when your mind begins to wander during a conversation.
Mental summarization of the information presented and taking notes on ideas for
later exploration can help maintain your concentration on the dialogue.

the destroyer of the worlds. I am out to exterminate these people. Even without
you, all those warriors, arrayed in the enemy’s camp, shall die." This
verse from the Bhagavad Gita, 11:32, gained recent fame due to its inclusion in
a film featuring physicist Robert Oppenheimer, reciting it as the first atomic
bomb was detonated in 1945 in New Mexico.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Time holds a central position in the philosophical
tradition of India. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, section I, verse 26, it is
explicitly stated that Ishwar—the creator of the Universe—is beyond the
confines of time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Within the Indic philosophical system, it is also
believed that in the beginning, three forces—sattva, rajas, and tamas—existed
in equilibrium. The disturbance of this equilibrium led to the emergence of the
Universe, though the reason and manner of this occurrence remain unexplained.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This concept aligns with the modern understanding
of the time-space matrix. Initially, time and space coexisted in equilibrium,
and the disruption of this balance set time in motion while space began to
expand, marking the genesis of the Universe.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Time, therefore, holds a distinctive role in the
grand scheme of existence. When Krishna declares, "I have become
time," he reveals his divine attribute to Arjuna by indicating that he has
descended from a state "beyond time" to become a part of it. With
time's progression, the Universe experiences both its inception and its
culmination. This is the essence of Krishna's message: all warriors on the
battlefield of the Mahabharata will perish, regardless of one's actions or
inaction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ancient Indians possessed a profound understanding
of concepts like time and space, as evidenced in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, which
contain nearly 20 sutras related to the concept of time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Notably, verse 11:32 stands as the sole verse in
the Bhagavad Gita dedicated to the concept of time. Some consider the Gita to
be the essence of all yogic systems practiced in India, lending profound
significance to this verse. Regarding many ancient texts, uncertainties persist
about whether what we possess today represents the original text or has
undergone alteration. These texts were transmitted orally rather than in
writing, and with the passage of time, they could have been corrupted or lost.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Considering that these scriptures delve into
complex subjects such as space-time and the origin of the Universe, it is
possible that some challenging verses were omitted or distorted. This might
also apply to the Bhagavad Gita.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #632423; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Interestingly, Krishna chose to reveal his Virat
(divine) form in Chapter 11, which essentially describes galaxy formation, a
brilliance exceeding that of a thousand suns, and a glimpse into the creation
of black holes. This transition from discussions on leading a virtuous life and
adhering to kshatriya dharma to contemplating space-time and the origins of the
Universe represents a remarkable leap of imagination on the part of the author
of the Gita.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

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.-<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
