The ''awakened person'' is the one, in whose presence not only the people
around him, but even the existence and the circumstances feel compelled to
fulfil his desires... And to be so awakened is not a difficult task.

The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
If you always want to be happy in life, toy with troubles as if it were a game. See;
whether you defeat the problems or they defeat you.
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
If you carefully look at the vastness of the universe or the enormous depths
of the ocean with awareness even for a second, all your sorrows will get
dissipated; because then you will be left with no pride of being someone "great"
or "exceptional".
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
Anger, worries, fear, worship, insecurity, jealousy and partiality drag you to
such darker recesses of the mind from where even a blind person seems clear-
sighted. When you have lost the sense to see things in their right perspective,
how could you get anything but failure in life?
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
