Synopsis Your mind is calm, unexcited, your memory is subdued -no thought arises. When the mind is excited and the memory is stimulated, the Chitta, your recording apparatus, is stimulated and the mind and memory jointly produce an impulse of energy, that is a thought, that is a Vritti, that is a tendency. When mind and memory get excited, then vrittis arise in you, 'Uddhrittam manashchittam yatprabhavah vrittaya.' This is an interesting sutra. To understand how a That is why it is important to silence the mind. If you want to experience some silence, close your eyes and be in a silent place and let go of your worries and dissolve. Let go and relax. When you are at rest, when the excitement in the mind calms down, the mind becomes silent. The mind, in conjunction with the intellect, through the senses, experiences the sense objects. Here, the meaning is that perception comes when the mind is connected with the centre and external instrument. It is all again one consciousness. Don’t miss out on ET Prime stories!

Synopsis We tend to externalise our challenges and keep hoping for others to change. That's unlikely to materialise. The reality is, the change is within us. Ask yourself, 'Is my manager too demanding or am I not courageous enough to express myself and my needs' or 'Is that colleague not trustworthy or am I not being collaborative' or 'Is that team member not driven enough or have I not been able to inspire him'? 'Have my children stopped listening to me or do I no longer understand their needs'? Which one is the truth? Have We tend to externalise our challenges and keep hoping for others to change.

Synopsis I hope that you might find that you can simplify things a little and give each thing you do more attention rather than always looking for the next distraction. If you are having breakfast, savour the time and enjoy each mouthful; it's a wonderful time to reflect and create a sense of relaxed but active purpose for the day ahead. As a Tibetan proverb says, 'When drinking water, think about the source.' It is a good idea to remember all of your other senses whenever you can. Take your time eating, savouring each mouthful, every taste. Stop and smell the roses; look around you - how is the world today? If you are mindful, you can ask your inner self any question, however difficult, and you will know the answer. Don’t miss out on ET Prime stories!

Synopsis Having a peaceful inner life, despite outward adversity, is vital. German mystic Johannes Tauler highlights that true love provides an internal spring of peace. Even during tough times, prioritizing the welfare of loved ones brings contentment. This approach may even protect against illness, with studies suggesting that “amiability” has a positive effect on health. Conversely, a hostile mindset creates internal poison. 'For where there is true love, a man is neither out of measure lifted up by prosperity nor cast down by mishap; whether you give or take away from him, so long as he keeps his beloved, he has a spring of inward peace. Thus, even though thy outward man grieve, or weep downright, that may well be borne, if only thy inner man remain at peace, perfectly content with the will of God,' says German mystic Try putting the welfare of those around you first, especially when you are feeling discouraged or depressed. I would like to rewrite the old song to say, 'Oh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day! Everything's going your way.' Most of us do not understand that when we live in a world of ill will, as millions of people do, nursing grievances so anger cannot die a natural death, we are creating an internal environment that surrounds us with a When we reduce our hostility, we're cleaning up the inner air, and we will find unsuspected benefits not only for the mind but for the body as well.
