Understanding my mind ? A thought at a time.

By
Can you ask the mind?
Do you mind if I take a dig at you?
When you want somebody’s attention you will do all gymnastics to draw their attention.
You will jump, crack joke, act funny, push yourself through to be noticed for a while.
When you look inside.
Do you find somebody sending thoughts to allure you, grab your attention, a bait to hook you?
If you are attracted to the thought then the thought stays and links up another and then another and …
a thought leading onto another — courtesy Indrayani the elephant at Art of Living international ashram
If you let the thought go then it goes away just like the cloud.
Have you wondered to explore who is that that sends the thoughts.
First randomly and then sequentially, logically…
Or thoughts just come for you and there is no force behind it.
What’s your take?
No matter if there is a single thought or flood of them, why do humans aspire to be free of thoughts?
Is our real nature thoughtless?
How thoughtful is your existence?
Have you had a chance to wonder on that thought?
Are you an accidental blip or a well thought idea?
This post was born post samyama.
Samyama is an art of living program spread over 7 days in which you intensify your sadhana and go deeper into your yoga practice. The first one concluded on 13th June 2017 and was taken by HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji.

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

By
She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

By
This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
