-


The Arjuna Disease as Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda refers to it, had overtaken his thinking power.  He wanted revenge and victory.  But, he lost his mind seeing the enemy as family.

To expand on confronting your best friend
Imagine the scenario:

You have been best friends for many years.  You both have lot in common and have shared many ups and downs in life.  However, in the recent past, you notice some change in your friend's behavior.  The attitude of your friend has changed toward you.  The relationship has become bit formal from the friends side.  You can't put your pulse on it.  

Your friend creates a distance from you.  Then, one day outright you are confronted for something you have not done.  The friend does not give you a chance and is very angry at you and stops talking to you after the confrontation.  She has blocked you on her phone and social media etc.

You wait for a while and try to figure out if something you did that may have caused this.  But you can't think of anything that has happened.  Now you gather all your courage and thoughts and want to confront.  The outcome may be that you may loose her for ever.  So you schedule a meeting.  

When face-to face, all of a sudden, you visualize all the good memories with her.  All the laughter, silly talks etc.  Now you may think that, what am I Doing? Just because she cut me off, I cannot do that.  There would be no difference between the two of us!!

I can keep my distance and still keep the friendship.   You become the bigger person and give in.  The friend in that meeting will say that she wants to totally cut off the friendship.  Now you lost your dignity too without knowing the reason.  You came in to confront but failed because of the emotional attachment.

I AM THAT - 48 - Awareness

  Awareness What is awareness? Awareness is a natural state—free from desires and fears. It is simply a condition of alertness and inner peace. However, this alertness and peace often become obscured by thoughts, desires, and fears. Most of the time, we remain caught in this mental clutter and rarely pause to look inward for awareness. Just as dirt on a dish dissolves when soaked in soapy water without scrubbing, a mind saturated with thoughts and emotions can become clear by sitting still and allowing positive thoughts to arise naturally. There’s no need to force positivity—when you try to control the mind, it always wins. Instead, let all thoughts and emotions flow freely. Observe them, and allow your inner Self to gently guide the mind toward positivity and awareness.

I AM THAT - 45 - What Comes and Goes has No Being

 What Comes and Goes has No Being True maturity lies in embracing silence. At the core, everything is made of the same essence—the universal raw material. There’s no need to strive to reach it; the task is simply to peel away the layers that hide the “Universalness” within.   Silence (both outside and inside)  sounds simple, yet it is one of the hardest states to attain. Selfless action paves the way to silence—working with what you have, without clinging to results, without craving recognition. In that silence, you gain the clarity to strip away impurities—desires, jealousy, anger, expectations—and uncover the universal reality inside. Remember, everything that happens—whether to you or others—arises from countless factors, and your role is just one among them. Expecting outcomes to match your imagination only breeds misery.  Therefore, what comes and goes is not permanent and essentially has no being.
