Simon Says..


We all must have played this game once in our lifetime. Simon says game is amongst one of the most well-liked games.

In this game there are few players amongst one of them plays the role of Simon. And the other players need to follow the instructions of Simon. For example - Simon says Clap your hands then every player needs to clap their hands. Just like this, 'our best friend' mind is like Simon. And we are the other players following the Simon's instructions. Now, there is a very well-known quote which says, "your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy." Mind can be a best friend for someone or the worst enemy depending upon how it is trained. If it is our best friend then congrats, you've got an amazing friend. But if it is not then, you've got to train it. (and-this-time-friendship-bands-wont-work) Our mind is such a beautiful piece of creation by the creator. When we were born, this beautiful mind was already trained or say conditioned with us in a good term. (best-friend) that's the reason it is said, "bacche bhagwan ka roop hote hai" because their mind is so pure, innocent and content. But later as time passes by this beautiful piece of instrument of theirs gets affected by various reasons and becomes their worst enemy.

Meditation really makes us and our beautiful mind become bosom buddies once again. Our best friend (mind) is at solely peace. We are filled with innocence, purity, love and affection towards us and others. Once again you become like a child. Meditation can do so many wonders in our life if we start practicing it. With this beautiful thought, Simon says - Do meditate!

The Shushing Feet

Have you wondered what's the most frightened thing we are scared of? Fear of heights, fear of being alone, fear of death and many other fears (fear-of-lizards-whoa-an-agitated-loud-scream) and the list goes on and on.   According to Google, fear is 'the feeling that you have when something dangerous, painful or frightening might happen.' Amongst of these above-mentioned-fears there's another fearful-heart-beat-accelerating-and-sweaty-hands kind of anxiety of fear which we most of us have. This dear and unnerving fear is 'public speaking.' Boo! It is said that the fear of public speaking is more than the fear of death! (whoa-I-know-right) There can be varied reasons amongst different people for this fear. For example, one might think what others would think of himself or herself (others-approval-and-validation-barrier) Would I be able to speak in front of hundreds of people? (self-doubting-barrier) And many other barrier lists which goes on and ...

The Kissing Sun

Have we ever tried gazing up at the sky for some time? The very beautiful sky which is there in our phone's gallery and also in our 'streaks' (puts-snapchats-90s-aesthetic-effect)   This beautiful enormous piece of creation by the Universe cannot be adored in a 6-inch Optic-Amoled display. You know they say 'sky is the limit'. Here, the 'cell phone has the limit'. No matter how beautifully 'sun kissed-photo' we take in our cell phones the joy in sitting in our balcony watching the orangish-red-fusion-of-the-sky for some time is incomparable (plays-dusk-till-dawn-by-Zayn) Here comes the stunning part - when we gaze at the sky or any other 'everlasting thing' we are in a state of thoughtlessness. (try-it-out) As the Master says himself, 'aakash ki taraf dekho aur fir vichaar karo, tum dekhoge vichaar hi nahi aarhe'. Now (experiential-learning-is-the-process-of-learning-from-experiences) we should definitely try this! Let...

The Underrated Happiness

Image
Isn't everything we do in our lives is to get happiness? Happiness that can stay with us every moment. We are literally chasing for happiness every day or say every moment of our lives.   Here, I mean about that everlasting, endless and eternal happiness . Happiness which is permanent and not temporary. For example, just imagine you ate a delicious-mouth-watering-toothsome-cookie (just imagine) and then after eating that delicious cookie, you felt like you're at the top of the world. Now, unfortunately this feeling resisted only for few minutes or maybe few seconds. (depending-upon-your-biting-and-chewing-skills) After few hours, you're back with your my-life-sucks-mode. Why is that so? Exactly, you just experienced a temporary happiness which lasted for some time. Well, you may ask what is permanent happiness and how to experience it? Here we go, Permanent happiness (or-say-underrated-happiness) is the happiness which comes from selflessness. It is an in...
