"No incident or situation is a problem by itself; it becomes a problem because we are viewing it through the filters of our limiting beliefs."                  Have you ever noticed that the same incident causes entirely different thoughts in different people? this is because they are projecting or superimposing their own mental baggage on the screen, then watching the scene through their own mental filters. The nature of the world is neither pleasant nor unpleasant. It is how you relate to it from your past conditioning. External situations are not the cause but rather a reflection of what you hold within. Ask yourself the right questions; the questions that can lead you from the obvious to the deeper transcendental truth. Such inquiry can break through illusions that appear in various circumstances so that you can smile without getting deluded. =================================================

  All of us know about famous male and female singers like Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh, Himesh Reshmia, Lata Ji, and Shreya Gaushala, the list is long. But very few know about seasoned folk artiste Basanti Bisht who has won the Padma Shri in 2017 for nurturing folk music in Uttrakhand. Her music was recorded in Delhi to sing for IGNCA"s monthly folk music concert, "Sanjari." Even the Madhya Pradesh Govt. honored her with "Ahilya Devi Samman."                            Born in 1953 in a tiny village in Uttrakhand"s Chamoli district, married at the age of 12 to an artillery soldier, and a housewife for a large part of her life, this amazing lady has the knowledge of " Laya", "sthayi" and "Antara". Since her village was on the border, she was also exposed to Kumaoni and Garwali music. She traveled all around the region, collecting music from the higher regions, and writing them down to preserve them.                          

"If your heart believes, nothing is impossible."          " The Impossible" word is a by-product of doubt and fear. The possibility of Impossibility increases when we start believing that all that was settled will be unsettled,  all that was established will be de-established and all that that you were feeling secure in is no longer secure. In fact, our mind is incapable of belief, and it is our heart that responds to our doubts. We get stuck, and can not move because each movement brings fear that there will be great turmoil, a chaos. When the depth speaks to the surface, there is bound to be trepidation. There is a longing to defend oneself, to protect oneself, to be secure. How can a person be brave when doubt arises out of fear?                               Heartfelt belief requires courage, if you want to be successful, you have to be ready to sail your boat, and you have to trust yourself, only then you can say"Yes it is possible, I can achieve it.&quo

"He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest."- Dylan Thomas                          Can we eat a dish daily? Do we like to see our wardrobe full of old-fashioned stock? Do various places, sights of nature, and activities attract everyone to keep them engaged? Ask people, what they like, and what not, and the mixed response we will find. This is called variety. Some praise, some criticize, Some say "yes," and some say "no", it's a variety of thinking, variety of liking, variety of tastes.           Variation is in fact, the characteristic of human beings. A child feels boredom when he daily goes to school, a homemaker feels her routine tedious, and an office-goer man gets tired of his day-to-day duty. A retired person seems to say that past days, duties, to dress up for office was quite interesting. a lady when looking at her wardrobe, feels to donate her old-fashioned outfits to the maid. Come vacations, children pitch their voice

"A  meaningful silence is better than meaningless words."         Three things, a man can never control- anger, emotions, and temptation. As humans, we are bound to make mistakes. When words cross the line of self-respect, they worsen the situation.      To  save oneself from the repulsive effects of the unscrupulous use of words, it is better to learn to exercise control over what one says.          Words are bullets, they could hit hard. They can cause pain and hurt to the listener which may be irreversible. An injury on a tongue heals the quickest but an injury caused by by a tongue takes the longest time to heal. Words of love and compassion on the other hand soothe and comfort a person. Psychologists' research says  that the higher the pitch of the speech, the more negative its impact on the neural system. Lots of energy that can be productively utilized is wasted in unnecessary speech. Imagine the vibration being unpleasant - the cosmic energy would align to that

"The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right."                                 Look at the underground river whose course just cannot be daunted. On the surface, people stamp, and pull the ground cracks or left derelict, but underneath, the river keeps on flowing. At  some point it is only a trickle in the darkness. Water on the ground level is always at risk of pollution or  being dried up, used, drunk, and drawn on, but subterranean water is mostly untapped.                            CONTENTMENT is the same. It is like a constant, unseen movement forward. Not oblivious to challenge, but when the landscape of the mind, the surface of life, undergoes some  upheaval, the river responds, changes, and flows in and around, even though still unseen, all in a  contained and controlled manner. It just never dries up.                                                      CONTENTMENT is a deep study of life, not just a bland  acce
