Mistake




Roman philosopher said this some thousand years ago and still it is true for us.

Mistake 1: Assuming that personal gain is obtained by crushing others.

Mistake 2: To keep on worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected.

Mistake 3: Insisting that a thing is impossible because you cannot accomplish it.

Mistake 4: Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

Mistake 5: Neglecting development and refinement of mind.

Mistake 6: Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

Dear abhay
Thanks very much for appreciating for blog templet its really cool i loved it too :) and now abt this post where you asked abt relation btw the knowledge and the pic

the simple thing wat happened when we realize that we have committed a mistake we simple want to hide our face (generally because of shame/ego) and that how we want to close our eyes basically want to escape from eye contacts :) and more over sometime we commit crime a conscious mistake with our eyes closed like we are not seeing it :) thats how that gal in pic hiding her face and more over keeping her eyes closed... now that is one interpretation to the pic to relate the title mistake definitely u can have many :) now truely speaking to you when i was posting this topic i searched on google image for mistake and i liked it most so chose this one :) long story short :)

Some more Q & A

Here are few more Q & A with Swami ji: Q. What is consciousness? A. Everything is consciousness! Whether you can see it or not, feel it or not! Q. What is the purpose of my life? A. On this question, Swami ji asked the participant to pat himself and said congratulate to yourself that mind is opening up and going beyond the day to day life, my job, my family, prestige etc. Then he said I will tell you three things in reference to this question: i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and whatever answer comes keep putting them in trash and one day you will get the answer to this question :-) Q. Who am I? A. Again for this question Swami ji asked the participant to congratulate himself and he said again follow the three things I told you in answer before. i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and what...

Now journey start as wondering mind has lost most of distractions which...

Patanjali Yoga Sutra Part-6

Keep the faith:- Shraddhveerya smrutisamadhiprajnapurvaka itaresham (Sûtra 20) meaning "By faith, by vigour or courage, by memory of having experienced the self and through the deep state of equanimity, a state of heightened awareness is gained." This is a vital sûtra. Shraddha means faith. Faith makes your consciousness stable, steady and solid. Doubt in the consciousness makes you vulnerable, fearful and uncertain. Faith brings out the totality in you. It pulls together all loose ends of consciousness. It integrates your whole personality. Doubt scatters you. Doubt destroys you. Doubt disseminates you and your energy. Doubt is something that pulls you apart. Dissemination of energy is doubt. Consolidation of your energy is faith. Are you getting what I am saying? The very feeling of your having faith is a sort of consolidation. That is why Jesus always said that faith is your strength. They are synonymous — faith and strength. When you are strong and bold, you have faith. ...
