I was shown a video recently...of a very senior AOL teacher,who shared something really profound. It was about training the mind.
He said the following three things

• We must always take a comitment to be happy.. Nothing muct be able to shake our happiness i.e we must never let our mind be unhappy. For that we must be in the NOW...Always in the NOW...This moment
  
• But how? is the next question. He puts it very simply. First, we must learn to accept whatever it is that is making us unhappy...This is how it is, so what!!
• And then comes the most important part..Taking action by asking HOW CAN I MAKE MYSELF USEFUL NOW! THIS MOMENT WHAT ACTION CAN I TAKE?WHAT CAN I DO TO CONTRIBUTE
  

Of course, it will take time...Initially we just have to do this whenever we remember that we are unhappy and that we have to d something about it...And after a while, it becomes our second nature...


Lately..I also read something really beautiful: There is always a new hope...that something good might happen..We just have to keep ourselves open to surprises and also do what we really want to that we think will make a difference...

Paulo Coeho had written in his book , 'Like a flowing river' that each one of us contains the whole universe an the power to make a difference here within ourselves..We just have to know that...


And that gives me an instant sense of calm and peace...

Especially during meditation when those three amazing lines that Guruji has said comes into my mind:

I am nothing...I want nothing...I do nothing...That is where the peace lies, and the bliss and a glimpse of that infinity..Just a glimpse...Then I wonder how living in that bliss feels like...

What does matter in life?? Why are we here??... I wonder and I wonder...People, events, things seem to pass me by...like the flickering flames in a candle...Where is that flame coming from? And how can I feel the warmth in myself...Touch it, get lost in it and it burns...Stay away from it, watch it and there is the beauty...How do I become that warmth?? I wonder...
