All the stars were shinning bright in the darkened night<div>
The light was dazzling white</div>
<div>
But at a distance, not the surface of the blanket of night</div>
<div>
Though dazzling white</div>
<div>
They were unable to lift the darkness of the night.</div>
<div>
What does it mean </div>
<div>
Are they powerless</div>
<div>
Without might? </div>
<div>
Or just that are too far away out of sight.</div>
<div>
Given their might and power </div>
<div>
Of the scorching heat and light</div>
<div>
That any darkness is alien to them</div>
<div>
But in a different world, at a different time frame</div>
<div>
On this world they appear as mere twinkles</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So does the human life</div>
<div>
Sparking somewhere</div>
<div>
And powerless elsewhere</div>
<div>
As the question is we fit when , how and where</div>
<div>
As man is the creator and slave of his own Hour</div>

The huge waves are coming and dashing against the shore<div>
Thin streaks of white foam lurking to them</div>
<div>
The bluishness of the deep sea is no longer apparent</div>
<div>
But a muddy hue and turbulence and nothing more</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Had it been better if the waves stayed in the deep sea</div>
<div>
But alas!</div>
<div>
There are no waves in the deep sea</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Few foot steps we see near the shore</div>
<div>
None knows who came and left</div>
<div>
Few small and few big steps</div>
<div>
Few shallow and few deep steps</div>
<div>
Some going into the sea and further into the ocean</div>
<div>
Some away from the sea and into the shore and further to the jungle</div>
<div>
Lying wide and dense for sure</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A mysticism is lying hidden and exposed at the same time</div>
<div>
A humming is audible in an unknown rhyme</div>

Let the night stay a little longer<br />
Let me sleep a bit longer<br />
My dreams engulf me now<br />
In a serene and scenic somnolence<br />

Unreal it is I understand<br />
Let me be there for a while<br />
Oh I know this world this life this reality<br />

THE ANSWER ESCAPES<br />
<br />
As if the branch is about to break, or so she thought<br />
As if the last leaf has fallen dry and arid<br />
So what to wait for and how to wait for how long<br />
Oh this waiting and waiting !!!<br />
What has it brought<br />
<br />
Entangled is she in those what when where...<br />
Tries and tries to break free<br />
But like sand escaping between the inter-digits<br />
The answers escape the harder she tries.<br />
<br />
Was Ramachandra able to find answers to all his questions<br />
Being God and Purushottama<br />
Succumbed to time and destiny<br />
How can she ever dream of escaping the mutations<br />
<br />
But be proud of the efforts<br />
That joy reverberates far and wide<br />
No matter Kumbhakarna sleeps tight on one side<br />

In that rage he darted out from home, from life from his country<br />
Now a vast and endless road lies ahead<br />
He feels like lifeless looking at the road ahead<br />
Not ready to bid adieu to his own country<br />
<br />
But then what will he do here<br />
That's the question he need answer<br />
If not here where<br />
That's another question another answer<br />
<br />
Pure demons he has fought<br />
In his thoughts though and imaginations<br />
Now at the start of this endless road<br />
Real courage and real heroism he sought<br />
<br />
There are these devils around<br />
Make things worse and find still no peace<br />
For even God can't treat the mind unsound<br />
<br />
But he can't regret coming out in a fit of rage<br />
For that path is his way of life, his passage</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Has your boss told you harsh things? Has your senior tried
to show you how incompetent or ignorant you are? Has your colleague passed some
really bad comment to you out of sheer jealousy or intolerance? ………….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are some of the situations we face in our professional
lives every day – someone trying to belittle us, humiliate us or simply exploit
us. These are practical problems. We need to find solutions to them. We
vehemently search for solutions. We ask friends, parents, colleagues for
solution. Because normal human beings without psychiatric disorders can’t
remain sane for a long time under the stress of constant problems. So we need
solutions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The types of solutions to professional problems can be of
two types: remove the external factors like change your job, stop going to
places, stop interacting with disturbing people. But these are not always
possible in a professional life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The other solution lies within us, that is behaving
according to the merit of the problem – like ignoring some, protesting some and
enduring some. The aim of doing all this is to maintain peace and balance in
our own lives and continuing our progress in life. Otherwise we might get so
busy solving problems that we may forget to develop.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We humans as long as we are on this earth, we will have
conflicts. Just recollect world history and you will see that human history is
by and large history of wars and conflicts. See the world now, almost half of
the world is ravaged by war and one human torturing or killing another human
being. The number of humans dying due to natural disasters and non-human
animals is nothing compared to the numbers killed by fellow humans. I know, I
sound disturbing. But what I want to say is that there is and there will always
be conflicts. You may change your job, your place – but then a new set of
unanticipated problems will arise at the new place.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best policy is to change ourselves, make ourselves more
battle-ready and capable of handling stressful situations. Live in this world
but don’t be of the world. There will always be “gol maal” (meaning trouble) in
this world – leave the gol (meaning zero) and pick-up the maal (gain). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have to actively choose between the various options
available as solutions for a problem. The best option is to put all your
efforts to solve it. If trying to solve a problem is not the best option
available, we can ignore it. Like we can ignore the bad remarks of a colleague
who is acting out of jealousy. We have to endure some problems for some time as
we have our own motives. Whatever is the path we choose, we must remember that
nothing comes easily. Every bit of mental effort you are putting towards the
solution of a problem needs your attention and energy. The solution lies in our
EFFORTS, EFFORTS AND EFFORTS. The path you choose is not fixed and it need not
be. Because none can predict, not even you, what situations you will face
today. But to be capable of handling it and not losing mental balance is what
our aim is. The outcome may not always be favourable to you, but you can be
happy considering the amount of effort you put into solving the problem. We all
want our lives to be smooth. We all tend to believe in “live and let live”. But
somehow every day we face many unnecessary problems from other fellow men.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Take your time, write down your present concerns. Analyse
each problem and write down the possible solutions and you may find a better
answer. There is an old saying “If you want to know what your destiny is, then
watch out where you are investing your time.” So invest your time and energy in
search of a better life and you will find one. In the end your efforts and
experiences are all yours and nobody can take that from you.<o:p></o:p></div>

Don't go in that direction there is a jungle there<br />
Heard it so many times so far<br />
But my feet unknowingly drag me to the jungle<br />
For in my mind dwells the question<br />
What lies there? What lies there?<br />
<br />
If life is a discovery why not me go there<br />
See the green foliages the frugiferous trees , the blooms of spring<br />
The thorns so sharp<br />
The dreaded man-eating trees<br />
The deathly spheres<br />
<br />
In the dead of the night we hear<br />
The sweet songs of the silence<br />
And the piercing cries<br />
And we wonder are ghosts there?<br />
<br />
The day is not far<br />
As the jungle I will enter<br />
For I have to discover<br />
This life and what lies there.<br />
<br />
I try to unravel the mysteries<br />
And I will share with all my stories.<br />

Economics of thought : part-2<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h6 style="clear: both; color: #141412; font-family: Bitter, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 36px 0px;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Our brain holds all the information that was, is or will be present in this universe. All inventions, all discoveries are mere unfolding of the knowledge that is already pervasively present everywhere. Sir Isaac Newton uncovered the lid off the knowledge of the force of gravity, the force of gravity is always present since the beginning. But a discovery is made when the mind is focused on an idea or thought. And when that idea is allowed sufficient time to become a firm theory and us followed by befitting action. But the catch is there is no easy way to focus the mind, otherwise each of us would have been discoverers. The mind is the ultimate creation if god. He has stuffed every but of information that is past present and future and beyond them into the mind. If this sounds impossible,</span><span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">let me explain with an example. Take the example of a seed, given the right conditions and nourishments it has the power to produce the mammoth tree. Similarly a focused brain energy can do wonders.</span></span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Controlling the thoughts and focussing our attention on one idea is very much achievable. But there are no quick fixes and easy ways. So don't expect that you will read a few articles and know the art of mind control.All writings and lectures are for the general guidance, but ultimately you have to discover your own ways to tackle the problems of life and the ways to proceed. One of my teachers use to say "Life is difficult. if anyone is saying otherwise,he is selling something". So you have to fight your own battle. Controlling the thoughts and focussing our attention on a desired topic, like achievement of any goal, needs insight, dedicated effort and practice.Below are some steps which can help you to focus your concentration. These are not serial step by step guide, but are different ways to increase your concentration.</div>

1. Physical well being<br />
2. Fixed time<br />
3. Develop an association<br />
4. Avoid multiple inputs<br />
5. Read something everyday<br />
6. Avoid extremes of emotion<br />
7. Discipline in life<br />
8. Learn from mistakes<br />
9. Habit forming</div>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">

<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">1. Physical wellbeing:</span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
A healthy mind can reside only inside a healthy body. This is the most important part of excellence in life. As you might have heard genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. So to perspire we need physical fitness and persevernce. Take up a regular routine of physical exercise, be it going to gym or home based pilates yoga etc. Do whatever suits you best and something which interests you and not difficult to continue. Have a fixed time in the day for exercise, any time which suits you is OK. But do try to maintain it everyday. Sometimes we feel the urgency to do some other thing and try to omit exercise. But we must realize that,those 30 minutes of exercise will go a long way to save our time and energy.Usually while starting a new physical exercise schedule,<br />
we tend to lose motivation after the initial four five days. So keep this fact in mind and just try to continue even if you don't feel like. After a month you will be habituated to the routine. There are numerous benefits of physical exercise. Thousands of articles are available on this topic, try to read some just to motivate yourself to start.</div>
<h6 style="clear: both; color: #141412; font-family: Bitter, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 36px 0px;">
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">2.Fixed time:</span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The brain is like an wild animal when uncontrolled. The brain needs regular and rigorous training to be controlled. As fire can be produced only from dry woods, similarly brain will function optimally only when trained to a certain extent. One of the best ways to train a brain is to do a thing at a fixed time. If you are a student fix one particular time to study everyday. That way when you practice for a few months, the brain gets tuned to a particluar activity at a<br />
particular time and chances of deviating or wandering wil be less.</div>
<h6 style="clear: both; color: #141412; font-family: Bitter, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 36px 0px;">
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">3. Develop an Association:</span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Have you heard about Pavlov's dog ? If not, read this (<a data-mce-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning" style="color: #ac0404; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning</a>). There is something called<br />
conditioning, where we train our brains to behave in a certain way in a given situation. Why do we feel deep emotions for our near and dears? Because our brain is trained to feel their sorrows and happiness. Similarly if we try to develop a sense of attachment to our work, the brain wil develop elaborate mechanism to make us happy merely by performing our work. Similar to Pavlov's dog experiment it takes time to develop an association and condition the brain, and once we stop there is again deconditing or unlearning. There are two important concepts here : one is establishing an association and second is conscious efforts to maintain the association.</div>
<h6 style="clear: both; color: #141412; font-family: Bitter, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 36px 0px;">
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">4. Avoid multiple inputs:</span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Our brain functions best when we direct our attention to one particular task. That's what focus means, to concentrate on one thing. A magifying glass burns a paper only when it focuses the rays of the sun. Similarly we need to focus our mental energy on one activity. So don't play music while studying, even if you are habituated to it. Take up a new habit of reading, without music. Don't keep your mobile phone near you while reading or doing something serious, unless you need the phone for the work. Phone is for your convenience so use it like that.</div>
<h6 style="clear: both; color: #141412; font-family: Bitter, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 36px 0px;">
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">5. Reading something everyday:</span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Reading is like meditation. When you read something you love, your mind is absolutely focussed on that. During that time the mind is static and wandering is minimal. Even a few minutes of reading something you love refreshes the mind. The idea is to train the mind to focus on something for some duration of time. And the best way to start is to read something you love. Once that habit is there we can extrapolate that habit for other activities.</div>
<h6 style="clear: both; color: #141412; font-family: Bitter, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 36px 0px;">

Extremes of anything is bad. Sound is audible only within a range, any sound above or below that frequency is inaudible. Always always avoid extremes of emotions. Too much anger or too much happiness produces the same effect. It destabilizes the brain. It needs some amount of conscious effort to control our emotions, but they can be controlled. Our emotions affect our interpretation of a situation and that leads to a commensurate action. There are three stages of activity depending upon our mental status : inactivity, equilibrium and hyperactivity. Avoid the inactivity and hyperactivity. I am not saying it is easy to achieve, but with practice we can modify our reactions to a situation.</div>

<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This is a more general term , but one of the most powerful way of affecting you. General disciples in life like sleeping and waking up at a particular time, having a regular diet, maintaining a clutter free surrounding etc. You have to invest few minutes to arrange your room , bed, clothes etc. Those few minutes will make your few hours more productive. Unless you invest some minutes you won't get the returns. Like if you arrange your stuff in the evening your morning will have more available time to invest in other things. These things create an environment conducive to enhancing our mental focus.</div>

<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
A weekly review of progress is necessary to know how you are doing. Discard anything tht is not working for you. Sit down and think out your own strategy. Plan the next week. As a wise person identify your mistakes early and rectify earliest.</div>

<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">9. Habit forming:</span></h6>
<div style="color: #141412; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Whatever is written here, or in fact in any article will be effective only when it is turned into a habit. To get a new habit we have to do a thing repetitively for around a month. So for the first month don't do frequent review of your progress, just try to stick to a routine. Like a child takes its own time to grow up, similarly a new habit takes time to be internalized. Just stick to it. Dont expect overnight miracles.</div>

Walked through the Land I saw a bundle of flesh lying crying<br />
The lonely Lady playing with a crocodile, singing<br />
The loud cry spreads in the hush hush wind<br />
Loud and resonating<br />
And bloodless Adam and Eve.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jeopardy coupled with menace is running rampant<br />
In the great hallowed soul of Endymion.<br />
The sweet Venus entered into Buchenwald<br />
When I saw her dropped near Satan she was changed faith Leda<br />
<br />
<br />
The Land which once beautified our dreams<br />
whose music bewitched the dreaded dragons<br />
Now seems to be the burning Carthage<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Thoughts
flow in our minds ceaselessly except only during stage III or IV NREM ,the
stages of deep sleep probably. Whether we are actively thinking or
not, thoughts just never stop, unless of course we control it actively. Thoughts
make or break our lives.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Sometimes
thoughts are insurmountable and creat a virtual reality, what we call as
psychosis or madness. We as humans beings are programmed to remain connected to
reality, to think within the relm of realism with momentary allowances to hover
in the clouds of virtuosity. Our reality is personal to us. We create our own
reality and we dwell in them. So is it just a free flow of thoughts we are
controlled by? Sometimes such is the situation. People who have done good
things in life, those who have excelled in life have been able to control their
thoughts rather than being driven by thoughts and emotions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
central concept of the economics of thought is letting into the brain only
those thoughts and informations which are necessary for growth, development and
success and absolutely cutting off unnecessary and useless information. Like
the unstoppable flow of a river, our thoughts are unstoppable. We create dams
on river to utilize the power of water for varied purposes like irrigation,
electricity production etc. Similarly we can put a dam on the free flow of our
thoughts and channelize the energy towards better ideas hence better actions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Ultimately our aim is to produce better action. Life is
chiseled into shape by our thoughts and actions. Act for the sake of the sole
pleasure of performing the action. If you are a student you should study for
the sole pleasure of reading, no need to worry about results. Achieve
excellence and results follow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In today's world information is opulent: switch on the
internet and the tsunami of information follows. We encounter information worthless
to us. In such a scenario it has become even more important to apply the
principle of economics of thought. Rather than just aimlessly searching for
something good, we need to first find out what we are looking for and then to
search for it. Entirely cutoff the unneeded information. We must remember that
we can contribute to our lives and to this world only when we concentrate on
very specific goals and excel on those. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">So coming back to thought economics. I will tell one
instance of mine, I am an interventional cardiologist (simply saying I am one
of those doing the angiographies and stenting). Some time back I was going to
do a complex cardiac intervention. So I called up my guru ( my teacher) and
asked for guidance. He told me to go through all the available literature on
that particular topic and I did so. The procedure went off fine. This was a
simple day to day instance of how concentrating on specific tasks leads to
success. The concept of learning and working needs to change. The concept of
extensive knowledge (knowing something of everything) needs to be replaced by
intensive knowledge (knowing everything about something). In that process of
knowing everything about something, the knowledge and insights we gather are
invaluable. Any task we face, any problems we encounter has has a solution. The
type of outcome depends on how much time energy and mental focus we have
invested in searching for a solution and what we have learned in the process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Channelizing your energy in a more positive and focused
direction needs practice and practice. There are two phenomena in the brain to
help us with our selection of thoughts. One is called “GATING” and the other is
called “NEUROPLASTICITY”. Gating in simple terms can be explained as two
persons trying to pass through a narrow gate. Since it is a narrow gate, only
one person can pass through it. Similarly the brain regulates how impulses
reaching it. When we are concentrating on something our brain automatically
cancels out all the other impulses, otherwise we would have never been able to
concentrate on something. Putting in a straight forward way - a bad feeling or
emotion can be replaced by a good idea. The good thought has the power to “gate
off” the bad thought. Just you have to let the good thought prevail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">There is another term called neuronal plasticity. That
means every time some information passes through our brain some micro synapses
develop in our brain, and over time as the same type of information passes
repetitively, the brain connections become fixed. Flow through such fixed
connections occur preferentially to others. This is central to learning and
memory. Memory is an exquisitely complex process. Some memory are called
explicit memory (like remembering your lessons) and some memory are called
implicit (the subconscious performances e.g., skills and habits, emotional
responses, habituation, sensitization). Here we have the capacity to master our
brains to memorize the positive thoughts. Just like how we remember to balance during
bicycling through numerous repetitions and permanent changes in the brain
connections, we can train our brain to be happy, positive and to give good
response to any situation. No situation is good or bad in themselves, it’s our
reaction which makes it good or bad. If we train our brain to behave in a good
way rather than react in a bad way to a given situation, we have achieved a major
step forward for peace, stability and success in our lives. By repetitively and
consciously selecting the right thoughts and discarding the wrong thoughts, we
can train our brain to give preference to the good ones. When these thoughts
are supplemented with befitting actions we achieve success in that domain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Beside the roaring river roll the spirits<br />
Of the deceased men and women and kids<br />

We come stand and stare, a rolling stone is all we see<br />
Was somewhere now somewhere reckless and free<br />
Spare me the agony and the violent spree<br />
For I am nor I was and never will be thee<br />

The green algae I can see clearly<br />
So why this fuss<br />
Why say a rolling stone gathers no moss<br />
Show me which explorer discovered by sitting and thinking merely<br />
<br />
Move as we must with the currents of time<br />
Step we must forward take and never look back<br />
Save for reflection and revery from time to time<br />
<br />
Otherwise this life and our time is wasted<br />
Like committing a crime.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Life flows like the unstoppable course of a river till it
attains its final destination merging with eternity. As the river loses its
identity when it mingles with the sea, the life becomes eternal when we merge
with eternity. Is that all about our lives, a beginning and an end? Are we born
to wait for our transition from temporal to timelessness, from mundane to the
singularity? What is it then that we strive for in our lives? We strive to live
life in its fullest extent, be it happiness or sorrow, melody or melancholy. I
know this sounds like an exaggeration but when we sit down and reflect, we can
acknowledge that ultimately we all are in the pursuit of happiness. To enrich
our lives. The money, the fame whatever it is, it’s an enrichment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In our journey on this earth we encounter friends and foes,
prosperity and adversity, but we are compelled to move. We are powerless to
hold the ceaseless flow of time, our alignment with the universe lies with
accepting the trend of time and to move on. Time heals everything similarly
time kills everything. Our life has an expiry date and it’s an unchangeable,
non-negotiable truth. It’s our choice to be useful or worthless in life.
Ultimately in the currents of this universe we are mere mortals, but with a
significance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The basic idea is to work and to move on in life. No matter
what tragedy or ill luck we face, we must understand that we are neither the
first nor the last to experience such disaster. Sometimes when the personal
pain is unbearable try to generalize it and feel sorry for the persons who have
felt the same anguish before you. That helps to cut down the pain. The aim is
to get over the suffering and establish equilibrium and balance in life. We
face problems, losses, fights, mental anxieties every day and in spite of
everything we live and work and still dream of good days. The day we lose our
dreams we are dead. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Living a peaceful and prosperous life is not an end to be achieved,
but it’s a process of finding happiness, pleasure and mental peace in everyday
life. There is no magic moment post which life changes for good. But everyday
should be a conscious effort to be balanced in life with mental equilibrium and
avoiding the extremes of emotion either good or bad. Mental peace and happiness
in daily life comes through practice. Practice to be happy, practice to avoid
unhappiness, practice to do good work and practice to control the thoughts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No matter in whatever situation we are in, we have to either
cure it or endure it and there is no third option. THE CHOICE IS OURS.<o:p></o:p></div>
