Hello! How are you?...

Guruji's Column

Dear Friends

Let me share something simple and realistic with you in this editorial. You can directly apply the message that I am going to share in your daily life. Now-a-days, everything comes in handy, like the mini visa card. It’s something similar to that.

We are all engaged in some activity or the other, almost for the major part of the day (say, 12 to 14 hours). While doing so, we unconsciously attach ourselves in successfully accomplishing the task at hand, be it a financial crisis in the family, or problem at work place, strain in the relationship etc. This attachment causes anxiety and as a result we do revolve. That means, despite our best efforts, the problem remains and requires our attention again. But friends, let me tell you, if we start revolving around anything, we will never evolve. Revolution causes “chakkar”. Because of this, we get into all kinds of unethical, unlawful and illegal activities and we slip off the path.

The very purpose of our life is to evolve and not revolve. However, we just do the opposite. That’s why teachers like me are kept constantly engaged and busy. As a first step, if you just stop revolving, leave alone making efforts to evolve, you can see a qualitative improvement in the way you handle things. Your fear disappears and your confidence sees new heights.

To put it simple, you can’t escape action. So, do it. But don’t involve yourself while doing any thing, for involvement causes anxiety and in the anxiety, we lose our wisdom. Tell me: Are we all active just to lose wisdom? Are we all active to further complicate the existing problems? If not, do all our work with this understanding. Let me also tell you the secret of success. If you want to succeed in all the three – kaaya, vaacha and manasaa—they have to be aligned and brought out as a single force. This can happen only when you understand the concept of evolution.

I believe my message might have reached you in its essence. Hope to see a brightly lit face with a wonderful smile when I meet you all in person next. Till then, take care.

In the service of Parampara,
Sri Pattabhiram.
