Rest is not just physically lying in bed, it is the mode of the mind which says, 'I am satisfied, I am content'
Life is much bigger than just a few incidents. We should not let our mind get stuck in events, incidences and people.
Some desire or another will keep troubling your mind day and night. So leave everything on the Guru, and surrender to the Guru.
The one golden point by which the mind can be lifted up is wonder. Wonder is where there is no concept, no mind.
Learn to turn the senses inward. Either getting fed up of the world OR with contentment in life, the mind turns inward.
We should set everyone free and keep our mind empty. If you live with this intention then you are a satsangi (good company).
When you expand your mind and shift the context for your life, you become so strong, stable, solid and yet, so soft. Then there is nothing that can shake you.
If we do any work with anger, hatred, jealousy, feeling of revenge etc. in mind, then that is an act of violence.
Only a refined mind can grasp the subtle. Refine your mind by being free from all the mundane, gross things.
Nature of mind is to run. And to make it stay in one place you need wisdom. You should immerse yourself in wisdom.
The other way to increase the positive mindset is to do the pranayama. After SudarshanKriya your thoughts are full positive.
When the mind is ridden with thoughts, then sankalpas don’t come true. When you are happy, sankalpas come true.
