Aggression as a means to overcome depression


Life appears to be so meaningless to these children, who are either too scared of the competitive world or bogged down by heavy stimuli. They need an inspiration....
And Spirituality is that inspiration that can keep the spirit up!
Aggression is the antidote to depression.
Depression sets in if there is a lack of zeal to fight.
Depression is lack of energy, and anger and aggression are a bolt of energy.
When Arjuna was depressed, Krishna inspired him to fight and thus reinstated life back in Arjuna. If you are depressed, don't take Prozac - just fight - for any cause!
If aggression crosses a certain limit it leads you back into depression. That's what happened with King Ashoka, who won the Kalinga war but became depressed. He had to take refuge in Buddha.
WISE ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT FALL EITHER INTO AGGRESSION OR DEPRESSION.

Love and Marriage


Nowadays, Love is mostly treated in satisfying each other’s body needs and financial solutions. This is the reason for many love and marriage break-ups. We have also seen some people who love their pets more than their life partners. It shows the insufficient recognition in human touch.

Many great ones had said that it is a gift to attain Human birth. This human body is a magnificent power base yet to be realized by most people. Love is another marvelous gift depending on what you love for or expecting from others. Love is an immeasurable feeling as such it is segregated accordingly by the sense of belonging or relations.

The feelings in every male and female are almost the same. In each body, we have a weak left side and a strong right side. Our feelings also reveal the firmness and weakness on both male and female bodies.

Marriage brings not only two persons together but also their feelings. If your feelings goes well with your partner than the marriage is fruitful, if not it becomes a debating ground where each ones respect is tarnished by accusations. Love is the structure for many relations. True love is sacrifice, care, respect, faith and understanding. Tolerance and clear thinking are part of love’s assets. It is good to understand oneself first before comparing with others. Loving someone just for the sake of loving is safer than loving someone for reasons since it can change anytime.

Marriage is a sacred ritual to assist nature in perpetuating human race. It disciplines the flirting mind by the thought of their life partner. It builds responsibility, faith and unity for a good family and society. Simultaneously, in such devoted relationship, the equal satisfaction in sexual love shared, arouses the Kundalini power steadily.

The purpose of practicing Yoga is also for stimulating the Kundalini power located at the tip of the backbone (tail). An extra advantage of Yoga is for keeping the body system in a good condition. Experienced Yogis had concluded that awakening the Kundalini power is the key of self-realisation. Proper guidance is very important too.

Like the rough sea (male) produces high current (female) that is used to generate electricity.

Marriage is one of the nature’s secrets visibly displayed. A person can try keeping his mind and heart away from Karma while still enjoying life’s comfort. Identifying our body requirements and mind control over desires with necessary practices in sense purification is Karma Yoga.

Seeing your partner differently is normal but seeing your partner in you is divine. People with such capabilities never find faults with their life partners. This is a type of mind control and meditation in the course of self-realisation.

Make your marriage life a more meaningful one.

DOUBT and CLOSENESS


A doubt is a gray area. Gray is something which is neither white nor black. Now, how to solve the doubt? An event, knowledge, convention cannot help. Then what can help? Accepting it either as black or as white. Put it either as black and accept it or as white and accept it -- whether or not it is black or white. And see the gray as a shade of black or white. Either way you accept it. Honest or dishonest -- accept it. Then the mind is quiet. You are not in the gray area.

See, the eyes are dark, eyebrows are dark, the thymus -- the most powerful organ of the body -- is black. Hemoglobin -- the main force of the body -- is black. You cannot survive without black. It is part of you.

DOUBT and CLOSENESS

Doubt cannot come where there is a sense of closeness. Doubt needs a distance to appear. You never doubt something that is dear to you, close to you.

The moment you doubt, it is no longer dear to you; a distance has come.

You may doubt yourself, but you do not doubt that which is yours.

Self-doubt is a lack of closeness to oneself, a sense of belongingness, closeness, intimacy are all the antidotes for doubt.

Letting Go of Control

Many have a problem of letting go of control. This results in anxiety, restlessness and it sours relationships.

Wake up and see, are you really in control? What are you in control of? Perhaps a tiny part of your waking state! Isn’t that so?

  • You are not in control when you are sleeping or dreaming.
  • You are not in control of thoughts and emotions coming to you. You may choose to express it or not, but they come to you without your prior permission!
  • You realize that most of the functions of your body are not in your control, and the same for your life and the whole universe.

Similarly, do you think you are in control of all the events in your life or in the world? That is a joke!

When you look at things from this angle you need not be afraid of losing control, because you have none!

Whether you realise it or not, when you let go of your sense of control that is when you truly relax. Your identification of being somebody does not let you relax totally and it keeps your domain limited.
