We hv endless problems today and most of them r self-created. Surprised?

Read on.

To solve any problem requires a stable and presence of mind. An anxious mind is no less then a turbulent ocean. In such a mindset, even if solution presents itself, we ignore it. @anexcommie
Here's couple of incident to highlight this fact (courtesy - WhatsApp forward)

Napoléon Bonaparte is a well-known French Military Commander, he was defeated by allied forces in his last battle and was sent on exile to the island of Saint Helena off the coast of Africa...
...(source -  history.com/this-day-in-hi…). This much is fact, the following account though is unverified.

In his exile, he was visited by a friend, who gave him a square board, saying "it'll help him in loneliness".

@shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @JumbuTweeple @rspchary
It's said tht Napoléon was so depressed tht he didn't even look at the board.

Once Napoléon died, his belongings were auctioned (fact), and the auction house when examined the square board, found a map to get out of the island.

@Bhaktirassagar @jananisampath @SirJambavan
Napoleon's anxious & depressed mind did not let him see the solution tht was presented to him.

Similarly, a mouse which with its teeth has power to even hollow out a mountain, does not escape a simple mousetrap made of wood.
@RajeAiyer @SriRamya21 @wataboutery @Speakwithsense1
Reason, it becomes anxious cos of the close quarters and by the fact tht it's trapped.

Irrespective of whether u r a renowned Military Commander or a mouse and anything in between, an anxious & depressed mind will ultimately lead to dire consequences.

@Dharma_tales
So, whenever u face a problem, take a deep breath and try to have a stable mind. Clarity in such situations helps to overcome the problem. And above all, trust Bhagwan.

@rspchary @GunduHuDuGa @Kishoreciyer1 @Kumarsarangapa1
My late Grandma always used to say, ur faith & trust in Bhagwan must be absolute. Just like a child who's thrown in air but laughs joyfully, as the child trusts the person to catch them and not let any harm come to them.

Have a great day ahead! 😊
Shivoham! 🙏🏻

Suprabhātam, dear friends & family!

We often find ourselves in a testing situation and at times feel lost. One of my teachers told me tht only 5% of our worry is caused by actual problem, rest 95% is how we're gonna react. Found this wonderful story tht exemplifies this msg.
Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

@anexcommie
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. @shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @rspchary

We all play one role or another in this arena called Life. And our role are not always voluntary or enjoyable. But, there's a reason to 'play fool'. Let me explain with small story.

Playing the Fool

@anexcommie @shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @GunduHuDuGa
There once lived a great mathematician in a village outside Ujjain. He was often called by the local king to advice on matters related to the economy. His reputation had spread as far as Taxila in the North and Kanchi in the South.

@RajeAiyer @SriRamya21 @wataboutery
So it hurt him very much when the village headman told him, “You may be a great mathematician who advises the king on economic matters but your son does not know the value of gold or silver.”

Hello Dear Tweeples! Wishing you all on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and Bhagwān Parashuram Avtaran Diwas!

On this occasion, let's look at one of the imp aspect of humans - EQ (Emotional Quotient).

@anexcommie @shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman @GunduHuDuGa
Am not sure how many of us are aware the vital role EQ plays in shaping us who we're. I read somewhere tht the EQ amongst humans have considerably gone down over yrs while imp is given to IQ.

Let me share a real life story.

@RajeAiyer @SriRamya21 @Speakwithsense1 @wataboutery
A young man in his thirties used to stand on the footpath opposite the famous Tata Cancer Hospital at Mumbai and stare at the crowd in front- fear plainly written upon the faces of the patients standing at death’s door; their relatives with equally grim faces running around...

*The 10th Apple effect*

A hunter once lost his way deep inside the jungle while chasing a deer. He used all his navigation skills but neither did he find any way out of the jungle nor could he find any food to eat for 8 days at a stretch.

@anexcommie
He started feeling so damn hungry that he could eat an entire elephant at one go. Disappointed, he lost all hope. And that is exactly when an apple tree caught his sight. He collected a dozen apples to feed him for the rest of his search.
@shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman
As he ate the 1st apple, his joy knew no bounds and he just couldn't stop feeling grateful and blessed. He thanked life. He thanked God. He could not believe his luck when he ate the 1st apple but he was less grateful while having the 2nd apple and even lesser grateful...

A short story to ponder on this weekend.

*A Crow and Garuda*

*"Just Drop - Let Go"..*

Once a Crow, holding on to a piece of meat was looking for a place to sit & eat.

However, a flock of Eagles were chasing it.

@anexcommie @
The crow was anxious and was flying higher and higher, yet eagles were after the poor crow.

Just then "Garuda" saw the plight and pain in the eyes of the crow. Coming closer to the crow, he asked:

"What's wrong? You seem to be very "disturbed" and in "stress"?"..
The crow cried "Look at these eagles!! They are after me to kill me".

Garuda being the bird of wisdom spoke "Oh my friend!! They are not after you to kill you!! They are after that piece of meat that you are holding in your beak". Just drop it and see what will happen.

Last week we celebrated Hindu New Year. Do you know that as per Indian Panchang system, each year has a specific name? And that each name has a meaning? There are 60 names of years (Samvatsars). Each name replays after 60 years.
The year 19-20 named ‘Vikari’ lived up to its name by being a ‘repulsive’ year.

The year 20-21 was named ‘Sharvari’ meaning darkness and it did push the world into a dark place.

Now the ‘Plava’ year (21-22) is beginning. ‘Plava’ means that which ferries us across.
The Varaha Samhita says: this will ferry the world across unbearable difficulties and reach us to a state of glory. And take us from darkness to light.

The year 22-23 is named ‘Shubhkrut’ meaning that which creates auspiciousness.
