I has always been a big question –how to control the mind? It is not so easy to do this.
The Sufi way is not to control the mind but to silence its constant chatter and find peace through stillness. This method is called Gibberish medication, which appears to be very strange, but it is the most effective one.
The conception of mind is nothing but gibberish. Put it aside and you will have a taste of your own being. Simply allow whatever comes, without bothering whether it meaningful or reasonable. Just throw whatever comes, without bothering whether it s meaningful or reasonable. Now after the cyclone has subsided, you can, experience the absolute silence and witness the body, the mind and anything that is happening.
Best Wishes!

Face your fears with self-respect.
A person whom we call courageous is not one without fear, but one who has learnt to face fear without fear. Fear is the fight between faith, and belief in oneself on one hand, versus the negative idea or expectation you have about your future on the other hand. You are literally fighting with your own positive and negative energies.
The fear that you have about your life, be it fear of failure, fear of losing your near and dear ones, fear of losing your wealth, fear of the unknown and every fear can be used as a door to enlightenment.
Fearlessness means taking a quantum jump into the consciousness where you will never experience fear of losing anything! Fearlessness doe not mean non-existence of fear. It means fear is there, but you have tremendous energy or courage to live with it and face it. Fearlessness means having the energy or the courage to live even with the maximum fear. It is going beyond that fear and being neither attached to nor detached from the fear.
Best Wishes!

you are thinking negatively when you fear the future, put yourself down, criticize yourself for errors, doubt your abilities, or expect failure. Negative thinking damages confidence, harms performance and paralyses mental skills.
If you find it difficult to look at your negative thoughts objectively, imagine that you are your best friend or a respected coach or mentor.

Negative thinking has been an early warning system showing where you
need to direct your attention. Thought awareness helps you to understand the
negative thinking, unpleasant memories and misinterpretation of situation that
may interfere with your performance and damage yourself-confidence. Rational
thinking is the technique that helps you to challenge these negative thoughts
and either learn from them or refute them as incorrect. Positive affirmations
that you can use to counter negative thought. These affirmations neutralize
negative thought and build self-confidence. It is also used to find the
opportunities, almost always present to some degree in a difficult situation.

Diversity at the workplace has led to an increase in
interaction between colleagues o the opposite sex- so much so, that these days,
it just seem to make eminent sense to have a purely platonic girlfriend or
boyfriend at the office – a “work spouse,” if you will.
Having a work spouse is more than simple jokes and fun,
as they are uniquely bonded individuals who can relate and provide emotional
support during stressful times. Even tough by pure definition, work-spouse
relationships are platonic. It`s the latent possibility for hanky panky that
makes relationship experts wary of such associations. It is too easy for any
boy-girl kind of relationships to morph into a dangerous affair.
Your comments are most welcome.

Happiness depends on balance. If our external and internal lifestyles are balanced the, assuming we have the potential to get well, all the conditions necessary for healing are in place. How to establish external balance? We should develop a good diet, drink plenty of water, get enough rest and sleep, have regular exercise within our capacity and we need to have an enjoyable or purpose in life or learn to enjoy it. Also it helps to live in a clean and healthy environment. We also need supportive and healthy relationships and should avoid substance abuse…
Happiness or fulfillment is just a state of mind – it comes from within so it is impossible to find lasting peace of mind in only the external world. Sometimes illness could be a blessing in disguise because it can help to start us on that inner journey towards wholeness and ultimate healing…

Multidimensional Life
Though most of us operate from our periphery, often saying and doing things spontaneously, without thinking or planning, we are all eventually guided by our center. What s our center? It is usually that core collection of feelings, beliefs, conditioning, thoughts, biases, prejudices, ideas, perceptions, points of vies and opinions- basically whatever we think we are. This center is often mind based, not being or soul-based, for those things always operate out of silence and love. The soul or being is our real center, as opposed to the mind or ego-based. `Pseudo-center` from where we frequently and unknowingly operate.
Very few of us operate from pure love. Invariably, we tend to operate from fear, or
its subsidiaries, like hate, greed, envy, avarice, mistrust, anger, competition and frustration.
Any truth is relative to the perceptive from which is known. Reality is comprise of innumerable
substances, both material and spiritual, and these too are constantly changing and in a state
of flux.
The well-known story about 6 blind men asked to touch and describe an elephant.
All of them came with different answers, calling the elephant a rope, fan, snake or wall.
All of us see the world from our limited perspective.
Your views, and comments are most welcome on above.

The principles of love, compassion and respect for all life are familiar to the western mind but in recent centuries, we have restricted them to human only.
Our birth and existence is dependent on causes outside ourselves, inextricably linking us with the world and denying us any autonomous existence. Indeed when we think deeply enough, the borders between ourselves and the world wash away like water in water.
We and all of nature are inseparable, entwined, one. Compassion for others should be as natural and instinctive as compassion for us and our own bodies.
We must develop a sense of universal responsibility not only in the geographic sense, but also in respect to the different issues that confront our planet. Responsibility does only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually.

Liberation can never be an acquisition of the individual. Because liberation is not a person,
liberation is from a person. It is often said by sages that the search or efforts to seek
liberation will end only when the seeker ends.
All attempts made in this direction only further crystallize the identity and discreteness
of the seeker. Desire for liberation is an oxymoron, because liberation is absence of all
desires. Does it mean that all endeavors like medication, devotion, and prayer are
superfluous? It is said that Liberations is merely a blink away. It need no involve any
form of penance; it need not involve any form penance, effort or endeavor.

in our lives we encounter people who harm us, insult us, plot against us, whose actions seem calculated to thwart the successful achievement of our goals. Sometimes these are obvious acts, such as a co-worker who continually steals out ideas or speaks badly of us to our boss. Sometimes, these acts are subtle- a friend, relative or a colleague who unexpectedly betrays us or who we find has been surreptitiously speaking negatively about us behind our back.
Slowly we find that our own actions, words and thoughts become driven by anger and pain. We find ourselves engaged in cunning thoughts of revenge. Before we realize it, we are injuring ourselves by allowing negative emotions dominate us. The insulted us or plotted against us or sabotaged a well-deserved achievement at work. But we injure ourselves more deeply and more gravely by allowing our hearts and minds to darken.

While the body is transitory and has a normal curve of birth, growth, maturity, decay and death and the mind that is encased in the body also goes along the same route, the soul is beyond death and destruction and joins the cosmic pool when it leaves the body. But God who created all living beings on this universe embedded humans with a special characteristic –that of an intelligent capable of knowing his non-being also! We live in the past with our memories, we live in the present with our pains and pleasures and we live in the future with vague guess work
Just as the physical body is vulnerable to injury and disease the mind, too, suffers as a result of what we say and do. Medical help is available for bringing the body back to good health. But when the mind suffers an aberration owing to traumatic events the consequences can be tragic for all those who are close to the person so affected and of course, the concerned individual. Treatment for disturbed minds is not so easily accessible. Moreover, seeking psychiatric help is viewed as something only `mad` people do, and so there is a stigma attached.
Hence there is need for counseling centers and openness to encourage people to come forward to seek help. This will help reduce the anxiety and stress levels, leading to a better quality of life for individuals and families and by extension, friends, colleagues and society as a whole. The more depressed you get, the more anxiously you seek isolation that only deepens the depression.
Best Wishes!

Of Passion and Compassion:
We know what passion is hence it is not very difficult to understand what passion may be. Passion means a state of biological fever-it is hot. You are almost possessed by biological unconscious energies. You are no longer your own master, you are just a slave.
Passion is lust, compassion is love. Passion is desire, compassion is desirelessness. Passion wants to use the other as a means; compassion respects the other as an end unto himself or herself. Passion keeps you tethered to earth, to mud and you never become a lotus. You start rising above the muddy world of desires, greed and anger. Compassion is a transformation of your energies.

Trust is an inner eye. Just as the two outer eyes are for seeing the universe, there is a third eye inside whose name is trust. The eye of trust means the eye of love.
If you love someone you will see certain things in the person what no one else will see. That sweetness delicate and the touch of love are needed for it, only then is it revealed. You will hear the echo of a song in that person that no one else will hear. You will hear it one has to come closer that anyone else has come. Only you are that close.
Best Wishes!
