Present Situation &
Our State of Mind

• In present times, we are experiencing a loss of purpose, faith and commitment in life. Pursuit of pleasure is on the rise. Personal weaknesses are accepted as traits. There is low regard for values and ethics. Human beings go to any lengths to fulfill self-interests.

• Despite this, you yourself can experience the good effects of right action by pursuing truth and by restraining the mind.

• We create our own problems due to the mistakes committed by us, through our distorted behavior pattern, acting under the influence of inflated egos.

• Change is inevitable in each person’s life. The bonds of attachment & detachment are flexible. Do not push them far, that they break.

• Time is changing constantly. Accordingly, practices, culture, values too keep shifting.

• Those who accept these changes and try to transform themselves can succeed in any field. The ideas of transformation too are changing.

• In these troubled times, everyone is addicted by some problem or another, of their own making or of others, but are suffering inevitably.

• By developing a positive attitude, you can become aware of actions which contribute positively to the well being of the society, and try to bring them in your life.

• Due to false pride or inferiority complex, each person tends to avoid adopting good qualities from others. Drop these old negative patterns of conditioned behavior.

• Provide new approaches and attitudes to the youth. In various walks of life, try to build an enthusiastic, capable, strong, mature young generation. This is real transcendence.

• Instead of addressing masses, focus on small groups and percolate these positive practices through a slow hammering process. This approach can be effecive in present times to bring humankind together.

• lt is important to explain this process to the society at large, in a slow, rational manner, with sincerity & concern. This will bring awareness, transformation and creation of a new social order of equity & prosperity.

• The future is potent & the time is right for such transformation to occur.

• Approach any crisis with courage. Instead of feeling defeated, act with great determination, calm and maturity.

• First face & resolve the situation without avoiding responsibility. You can analyze it later at leisure.

• Challenges and crisis are stepping stones for our self-growth. They are grand opportunities for our transformation.

In the journey of life, physical, mental and spiritual suffering are inevitable. Everyone has to undergo this process of ‘Trividha Taap’.

One cannot say when Divine Grace will manifest. But through complete surrender, even this may happen.

• Aspire to remove the helpless attitude of the mind. Put abiding faith in someone or something you believe in. This is possible with total surrender.

• Our daily life is a tightrope walk, always balancing. We need to be alert constantly in performing our daily tasks with great diligence.

• Align your daily actions with inner spiritual practice of total faith & surrender to the Divine. You will start finding joy & satisfaction, in fulfilling daily responsibilities.

• The source of all misery is refusal to understand others and a lack of flexibility.
