Are you afraid of making mistakes!

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
---George Bernard Shaw


These were the words from Shaw which really inspire us to rethink our approach for life. Look around people why they don't take initiative? or why they don't want to take responsibility? or why they don't want to do something new? One simple thing fear of failure, fear of committing a mistake! Then look around the world and find out a single person who never did a single mistake. Do we find anybody who never did a mistake. No everybody some or other time in their life at some moment while cooking, driving, talking, in job, in relationship or name it people fall short of perfection and commit what we call MISTAKE. So why to stop yourself for any job in the worry of committing a mistake.

Here important to note is that it's not a deliberate intentional act which is being done to go out of way to disturb the system (perhaps that's we called crime in society) while mistake is unintentional disturbance created due to lack of awareness or ignorance.

What important is not to hold yourself in the fear of not to commit a mistake. Take a action, ready for new things and ready for failure but with open mind and with sense of learning we can move in life from they space of mistake to space of new discoveries. If you never did a mistake in your life know that you never took a new path because that's the one avenue where people miss the road maximum. Best thing could be taking a lesson from mistake and moving forward with clear mind. Never hesitate to make a new mistake but never repeat the mistake. Introspect if inaction due to fear of not making mistake not become the biggest mistake of life.

Jai Gurudev Dineshji..

Well everything boils down to... Fruit of any action. Bhagavad gita says

"Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani"

Do your duty and be detached from its outcome, do not be driven by the end product, enjoy the process of getting there.

Meditation & its secret-1

Meditation is an art by which one go beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness where mind dissolve and pure timeless, space less, blissful consciousness BEING which is described as सत्चिदानंद satchidanand (सत् -चित्-आनंद) sat-chit-anand (Truthful-consciousness-blissful) by the enlightened MASTERS. About Meditation there are so many myths and concepts. And the truth is what you experience that is reality for you. Here in this post "Meditation & its secret-1" and upcoming series of post on this title, I will be writing about my direct experiences of the inner journey, the obstacles and blissful experiences which keep coming as journey goes on :) As we sit for meditation what we do we sit STILL with EYES CLOSED that is for withdrawing reflexive mind from visionary senses, other obstacle is auditory disturbances (therefore quiet place is preferable). Now journey start as wondering mind has lost most of distractions which...

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...

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. ...
