Learning the masterstrokes

-

 We are all playing a game of life. Do you agree?

Yes friends, in this game of life we are playing against the entity called 'mind'.  Mind often bowls some amazing googlies at us.

 You know what a googly is? It is a cricket terminology where a deceptive delivery is bowled by a right-arm spin bowler. You need to learn to hit the masterstrokes in this game.

How does your mind play a googly? As soon as you determine yourself to do something religiously, for instance going to the gym or going on a diet. Your mind will play the first googly at you by telling you, "Let's do it from tomorrow. There's of ample of time." What happens to you?

You start giving in. You start to postpone your task. So that's the first googly your mind bowls at you and you are 'clean bowled'...... khataaak!!!

You need to learn to bat well. You have to assess your opponent well in order that you learn to play the masterstrokes in cricket of life. Your mind can become your best friend or your worst enemy. Listen to what it's saying to you. 

You can either make your mind work for you or let it scare the hell out of you. There's no one in this world who can stop you from achieving what you want provided you are able to hit the masterstrokes at the googlies that mind bowls at you. 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts are churned out by our mind everyday and that's the reason we are never left in peace by our mind even for a moment.

"Leave your front door and back door open

Let the thoughts come and go.

Just don't serve them tea."

Watch your thoughts from distance. In case you want to tame a bull that's angry, the best way to get better of is to tie him up or to confine him some way. But doing this will only make it angrier and more difficult. Instead if given him a huge open space to run around it can be the best way to calm him down. This will help him to quickly run out of steam as there is no resistance he has to meet with.

Don't give your mind the power to ruin your day.

    Enjoyed reading about the googlies we face everyday, beautifully penned.
    I believe that magic happens when you don't give up even though you want to. The universe always falls in love with a stubborn mind and heart..

The Fierce Form

 She is dark. She is fierce. She is death. She is doomsday. She is Shakti. She is destruction. She is the total energy of our universe. Yes, she is Kali.... Maa Kali. This quintessential embodiment of Shakti is female power. She is scary, bloodthirsty. She is destruction personified and the ultimate protector against evil. In spite of her terrible form, Mahakali is often considered the kindest and most loving of all the Hindu goddesses. She has dark complexion, red eyes, four arms and wears garland of skulls. This goddess will always be seen stepping over the chest of Lord Shiva, who is her husband. Ever wondered why? Let me take you to the episode of Goddess Kali in which she steps over Lord Shiva. There was once a demon named Rakhtbeej, Who was very powerful. He had acquired a boon that he could recreate himself as soon as even a single drop of blood falls on earth. This boon gave him the power to shake the gods. It was impossible for the gods to control his autocracy. Therefore ...

Insights of Bhagavad Gita

-
 Why do people say, "You open any page of Bhagavad Gita and you get the answer to your questions?" I have often wondered over this statement. Trying to analyze, I realized that Bhagavad Gita does not have all answers but reading it certainly helps you to get answers to the questions formed in your mind. It is subjective.  Yes, it is subjective because the book remains the same for all the readers but the perception, wisdom, and intelligence vary from reader to reader. Perhaps Bhagavad Gita enables one to get insights to the problems in the form of solutions. In my opinion, Bhagavad Gita is a book that gives you the way to live. Let's remove the religious aspect of it. Go back to history and understand the setting of Bhagavad Gita.  The Setting Of Bhagavad Gita is the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Mahabharat where Arjun when comes before his respected elders is in a dilemma. He is confused. He hesitates to fight. He is very well aware of the fact that this battle will le...

KARMA....

-
Image
 A man turns into something good by good actions and into something bad by bad actions . Karma, which means deeds is a concept in Hinduism that explains how the executed actions of an individual affect the individual and the life he or she lives. Karma simply means actions. Every action has its consequences so it is the choice - making of deeds which is the most effective way of creating the consequences of karma. Whatever we speak or think, we initiate something called force which reacts accordingly. Therefore most people are prisoners of karma.  Karmas are invisible fine particles of matter prevailing all around us just like air particles.   Time and Karma are inseparable. The law of karma is infallible and everyone invariably is subjected to it. Even the Maha Gyaanis and the Maha Purush of the Dwaparyug were not spared by karma. The conversation between Lord Krishna and Rukmani after the Mahabharata battle is significant and can help us to understand the theory of karm...
