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.

Depression Vs Aggression

Lack of idealism is the main cause of depression among the youth today. Life appears to be so meaningless to these children, who are either too scared of the competitive world or bogged down by heavy stimuli. They need an inspiration....And Spirituality is that inspiration that can keep the spirit up!

Aggression is the antidote to depression.Depression sets in if there is a lack of zeal to fight. Depression is lack of energy, and anger and aggression are a bolt of energy.When Arjuna was depressed, Krishna inspired him to fight and thus reinstated life back in Arjuna. If you are depressed, don't take Prozac - just fight - for any cause!

If aggression crosses a certain limit it leads you back into depression. That's what happened with King Ashoka, who won the Kalinga war but became depressed. He had to take refuge in Buddha.

WISE ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT FALL EITHER INTO AGGRESSION OR DEPRESSION. That's the golden line of a Yogi.Just wake up and acknowledge you are a Yogi! Jai Gurudev........ :) :)

Focus on Problem vs Focus on Solution

Case 1

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did the Russians do...??

They used a pencil.

Case 2

One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty.

Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the
packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty.

Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral: Always look for simple solutions. Always focus on solutions & not on problems.

Decision And Confusion

Decision comes only when there is confusion. When there is no confusion then there is no decision.
For example, if there is a piece of wood and a biscuit on your desk, you don't decide which one to eat, isn't that right? Decision is always about choice and choice is always confusing. So, all decision-makers are confused! (Laughter)

Action is spontaneous when there is no actor. In you, there is an actor and there is a witness. An actor is either confused or decisive, but the witness realizes that the action is spontaneous and smiles.

The more decisions you make, the more confused you are, and as a result you swing between pain and pleasure. The more the witness grows in you, the more playful and untouched you are. Trust, faith, love and joy all manifest in and around you.

Are you confused, decided or happy now?

Eberhard: Confusion is too strong of an expression. Is it not rather
"choice"?
Urmila: We are decided that choice is confusion. (Everyone laughs)
Hans Peter: Is there any freedom without confusion?
Sri Sri: When you are confused, there is no freedom.
Hans Peter: What is freedom of choice?
Sri Sri: Confusion! (Laughter)

NEWS FLASH: There was a big discussion whether Guruji should wear a plain white or a white with gold shawl for the evening "Human Values Conference". Everyone was confused because there was a choice, but still there was a lot of laughter….!
