Words of Wisdom

What attracts others

Its not your Anxiety but Peace, Not your Irritation but Patience
Not your Hasty utterances but Sympathetic Listening, Not your Grief but Smile
Not your Money but Spending for Others, Not your Problems but your Helping nature
Not your Cunningness but Candidness, Not your Lies but your Truthfulness

That attracts others to you

Mind, the Monkey


Mind is the root of all evils. It jumps like a monkey from one thought to the other, most of which thoughts being worldly. Give away the uncontrollable monkey to God. You will get peace
Adi Shankara

Comment: When the monkey jumps too fast, it falls and injures itself. So also, if the mind jumps too fast from one thought to the other, the body loses it's health... And contacts BP, Diabetes etc.

So don't allow the mind to jump like a monkey. Easiest is to allow it to settle down on one pleasant thought, preferably, God. That is Tapasya.

Lust

Unlawful lust is like a furnace, where if you stop the flames altogether it will quench; but if you give it any vent, it will rage.

-Francis Bacon

Real Problem

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
----Bertrand Russell
