It is natural for the mind to go up and down
up and down, it is to be expected. In fact more
often than not, the mind likes to "put us down"
fill us with doubts, difficulty, and
imagined pain, deluded thinking and the mind really
believes these to be real and true. A child thinks
that santa-clause is real, a child puts his fingers
together and thinks it is holding the moon, it
thinks a ghost is under its bed.
the power of the mind is great, we must make the
mind our friend.
Happiness,this requries effort to keep, not the popular
thought! Peace is not easy, it requires work.
God is always wispering to you? But can we
hear Him?
Misery is a great teacher, why fear it?
Misery and pain are brining us further away from this
world-desert-mirage to the Lord within.
Most of the time we all create many of our
non-physical sufferings, from unfullfilled desires,
expectations high,attachments many,
thinking and thinking too much.
One of my favorite author says,
"When a person is in a calm, sedate,
placid and happy mood, by living in that placid, tranquil mood for sometime, he finds that
some good news, some good change or something good comes along; it always comes without
expectation. Live in that state of harmony, in that state of calm and tranquility, and you
will see that some friend will come, or some object of love will come or something
flattering comes to you. If ordinary people become elated over this success or attach too
much importance to this beloved thing that appears to them, if they begin to lay that
material form to their heart, if they clasp it and stick to it, and love it so dearly, you
will see that without fail, something indescribable comes, takes the object of your desire
away and makes another change. That cannot be avoided; it is the Law.
If books have not been written upon it, it is nevertheless the Law. Thus when you cling to
that something, when you hold it dear, something takes place which takes it away, and you
are sad and worsted; then two kinds of phenomenon take place. Some people on becoming
worsted begin to find fault with the circumstances, to struggle and criticize circumstances.
Such people are visited by still harder difficulties and they exclaim, "O, misfortunes never
come singly." People who after one misfortune do not regain their equilibrium, but go on
fault finding and criticizing, and go on struggling after frail reeds--for them misfortunes
do not come singly--but after suffering for sometime, they are in a state of mind to which
is again added the power unseen. THen comes a state of harmony, a state of resignation, a
state of leaving those desires, a state of geniality, a state of universal peace, and then agiain the clouds disperse and fairer circumstances come. Again they are misled adn keep depending on outside manifestations only, and again are led into difficulties; and after a while come to religion (any religion: muslim, hindu, christian, buddhist, or other). It is said that misfortunes lead one to religion...
Misfortune, anxiety and trouble are to make you realise the Heaven within. It is to make you feel that you should realize the Sun of suns, the Light of lights within and when you realize that, you are above all them..."
Lastly I will leave you with a quote from schopenhauer:
"When the individual is distraught by cares or pleasantry, or
tortured by the violence of his wishes and desires, the genius in
him is enchained and cannot move. It is only when cares and
desires are silent that the air is free enough for genius to live in
it. It is then that the bonds of matter are cast aside and pure
spirit, the pure knowing subject, remains.
Whoa!! I agree with the above comments soo...
All I can add to that is, a friend told me once that we should, "..lead through life expecting nothing in return.. whatever good that comes from it, take it as a given from God..."
And when he first told me, I said he was nuts.. How can one possibly live through life without having any expectations coz then, one is living a complacent and passive life.. Without expectations, one becomes non-ambitious and one becomes TOO easily contented.. Is that the kind of life that one should lead?
But after sometimes and some life lessons, I have understood what he mean.. I hold no expectations on others but does it mean I am being complacent? No!.. Being non-ambitious? No!.. Being void of emotions? No!..
I have simply learnt that in life, you gotta choose your battle and that knowing everyone is all gonna hurt you in one way or another BUT you can decide on who is worth your pain...
You've learn to let go of things and let live instead..
