Follow these two methods and see the changes!

Our minds crave for security, but is the greatest stumbling block itself. When our mind is let free into a halucinatory world, hopes start sprouting. There are many posts related to HOPE, but today I will be discussing 2 important methods which can be uses to cut down the 'hop'. 'Hop' here refers to speeding in the reverse order. This means that Hoping, takes you back from where you started.

 It sets your mind to zero, to experience the possibilities to material life afresh. This is stupidity. BE CONSCIOUS. Spirituality is the only solution to get rid of this endless cycle. As you practice training the mind, you shall automatically be revealed of this trend of 'hopping' regularly. Once, noticed we should take the following steps:

  • Introspect:  This is an effective method to audit your thoughts. By practicing Introspection, you can get aware of the nature of your mind. Through a prolonged period of practice, it shall reveal to you the deep rooted thoughts that drive you to perform a particular activity.
  • Surrender: On having introspected deeply, one might be trampled by the onslaught of nightmares and unwanted thoughts. These thoughts may not be related to you in any manner. But, as you know that your mind absorbs content around you, in this world, since many lifetimes, surrendering them becomes crucial. If not, you may not progress in spiritual growth and chances to fall back rise. Consciously, submitting these thoughts by not attributing the thought to yourself accelerates your progress. Realizing that these thoughts are a result of many actions and desires of many lifetimes, helps you become consistent in surrendering.

Hope and Positivity

This might seem contradicting to many, but the fact is that practicing positivity is not as beneficial as you think. It is a form of ignorance. Because, positivity involves the mind, it can never be positive. Remember, any act involving the mind is negative. Practices that help dewiring the mind is positive. Such practices abate the wandering of the mind. The movement of the mind is always flimsy and not unidirectional, so are hopes. We hope not one thing, not once, but many things and many times! So, we have desires sprouting from hopes and senses to achieve them. This is ignorance. Anything done unconsciously is ignorance. Because we are not aware of this cyclic trend of hope transforming into desire then act. These activities generally yield negative results. This causes disturbance, again compelling us to unconsciously accept hope. Now, we hope again, but to get rid of negativity. We hope positivity. This is ignorance of the highest kind as we dream and try to pacify our

Glories of 'Knowledge'

Knowledge is not heritable. It is not an asset, thus cannot be possessed. It is not available in books which can simply be acquired through mere reading. We must understand the nature of 'knowledge' first. Knowledge is the source of existence. The very idea of distinguishing one from other that streams from our thoughts is the result of enough churning of knowledge. It is the possibility to grasp reality, an aid for us humans to get a glimpse of the ultimate truth. It is the repository of truth and hence is beyond conception. This is not mere glorification of 'knowledge', but just a mere introduction of it. When man is an infant he cannot understand the difference between fire and water, until experienced or taught. The memory of an experience, retained to understand or delve into the subject is the dawn of knowledge. Only knowledge makes possible to retain the useful and let go the unwanted clutter of the mind. It is the benefactor of a composed mind and leads

Why do I feel cheated?

It may seem a nightmare when you realize that the your loved ones are no more the same. It may be either your friend, spouse, children or other relatives. Your confidence in them has drastically reduced. Why now, today your loved ones seem alien to you? The answer may be vague, perhaps a mix of emotions. Any change we perceive in the world is a result of the mental makeup of oneself and the other. Your interaction with your loved ones was determined on the basis of your mental framework which may be contrasting to your present mental framework. We find ourselves in a dilemma when things don't workout the way we expect it to be. Nothing seems to work. Our confidence is battered every time we try to rebuild it. Emotions of faith in the other, trust, love, sympathy, etc are all temporary as the mental framework of our mind is clutched in the wheel of time, which spins without break. These emotions can be replaced with their opposites with changing time! Our mind carries the
