Look at the life in a new Way

Look at the life in a new Wayrn[Vinod Anand] Truth can be likened to a pyramid— its pinnacle gives the highest expression of truth, while its broad base gives strength and stability. I’ve been amazed by the number of people in India who tell me that they don’t believe in God, and then go onto demonstrate that they do. They can’t get away from it— it’s part of their upbringing. They don’t necessarily define God in terms of somebody who is blue and plays the flute. The thought, however, of an infinite consciousness is so ingrained in them that it’s impossible for them to reject it.

Take the True Inner Pilgrimage

Take the True Inner Pilgrimagern(Vinod Anand) The Brahmasutra Bhashya of Sankara is an abstruse exposition of his advaitic thought, best summed up in a classic line from the l3hashya: “Brahmn satyamjagat mithya jivo Brahmaivah napara” — Brahmn alone is real, the world is illusory; the individual and the universal soul are one”.

Letting Go of Shame and Self Criticism

I was much older when I first recognized the voice of the inner critic. I’d known it for so long that I believed it to be my own. My later studies in psychology and working with wonderful women made me realize that we all carried this voice in our heads. Denying it or challenging it was often a waste of time. Listening to it gave it an attention it didn’t often deserve. What did work was understanding where it came from, because that gave us the power to move beyond its fears. The Early Beginningsr

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

I have found that there are two approaches to achieving a goal. • You can focus on the process – that is, focus on the things you need to do to be a success • You can focus on the goal, and sort of let the process happen.

Experience has taught me that too many folks become obsessed with the process or even fall in love with it and, as a result, stay perpetually involved in that process; never quite reaching their stated goals.r
