Peace of mind is precious as it can give both mental and physical wellness. But it is very easy to get destroyed and difficult to maintain. Even a minute disturbance in mind can cause some problems in life. Then what will happen if the big day today issues in life start affecting mind? Naturally peace of mind will become out of hand. But the fact is most of us can’t understand that our mind is in trouble. The whole day, they are working and at night taking rest. But in that time also they are still thinking, calculating and planning. Without their awareness they are utilizing mind to worry about the problems existing with them. Then, does our mind need any rest? Yes! It should get rest, peace and control. What will happen if our mind didn’t get any rest and not controlled in thoughts? It can’t wake up energetically with the body. Some worries and tension will be there. As a result the person cannot do all his work properly. Again tension will arise. In that night also he will go to bed with the same troubling mind. It is very natural that problems and tension may arise in life. All are part of life, as the life is not a smooth road.

Devotion in the right sense
In the heavenly forests of the Great Himalayas live a species of glamorous looking deers. Their navel liberates an attracting smell called ‘kasturi’. These deers unaware of the origin of the smell spends almost whole of its life wandering and searching for the smell in these freezing puzzle like jungles of the great Himalayas. This example can be compared with man and God! God resides in the heart of man and man longs for that one moment when he could converse with God. He travels to all the holy places in search of God, but unaware of the fact that what he is searching for by traveling thousands of miles with all the sufferings, resides in his own heart. The only thing man needs is the realization of his presence in the man’s heart. Praying to god is not like an agreement to tell that,” if God will fulfill my desire, I will gift something to the temple.” Or something like that. When man prays to God to help him achieve something in his life, he should have that faith in god just as a baby, due to his faith in his father does not get frightened on being thrown to air and back to his fathers safe hands. Have faith in God that he will fulfill all your needs and he will unquestionably fulfill it, but if you doubt, it will be like an insult to God. Similarly, we need to know the subtle difference between “Prayer” and “Meditation”. Prayer means you are seeking your needs and wants as otherwise you in meditation and when in contemplation; you have intense conversation with the almighty God. That it shows how to release reservoir of latent creativity IN YOU. You will then comfortable and serene as you are “just now” that means to say calm, peace prevailing with in and realization in your entire being. Further when our eyes are open you are awake and see outward world and will be more materialistic. I see eyes’ closed “I” inward within what I am and who am I. Let your innate divine qualities emerge. Author: Malatesh Nadgir, Bangalore Read my blog on Personality development. http://www.personalitydevelopmentblog.com/ … [Read more...]
