Don’t always looks for practical tips

Most of the time people used to ask, give me some tips for mind control and more on concentration so we can control our mind and keep our concentration very much on our task.  

Sometimes we give some tips to them to follow then your mind will be under your control, you do this you will improve your concentration. But from inside I always think, are these tips will be applicable for all of them? Or more of them will be more confused and will be in more miserable condition than past while applying this to in their life.

So I got the final conclusion, we should not always look for practical tips, instead we should accept our own reality and try to do whatever I can do best in that situation to get the solution.

In class one of the students asked me, “I am unable to learn shloka because of lack of my concentration what do I do?” So I cannot give him practical tips to sit at one place and forcefully bring your mind under control and try to recite shloka and do this for 5 times sitting at one place and one fixed time and you will be able memorize it.

From this solutions this boy will be more frustrated and will never try to learn shloka in his whole life because he is always frustrated with his mind and when he try to do it forcefully it will be more dangerous for him, So I simply told him, “Not to worry, you just try to read it simply keep writing as many times possible and try to recall it and this way you will learn very soon.”

Most of us try to give practical tips for all the problems but we don’t know each and every individual condition.  What is the problem for you may not be the problem for other person, so the same way tips given for all may not work for every individual.

So, instead of looking for practical tips better know your strength and weakness do SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) and work on it. Every individual has its own strength and weakness and that is the key point we can work upon.

There are simple ways, we can do it by:

a      Listen to your heart: In the current age we always reject voice of our heart, it is just because we are so much busy in social media and others medium where our voice of heart sounds very low, so we need to give pause and disconnect ourselves from social media and try to listen voice of our heart. There is super soul (Parmatma) sitting in our heart and if we listen His voice He will guide us as per our standards.

b      Selfless Service: Everyone in this world expects something from you but if you do selfless service you feel relax and calm. And this way you can purify your heart to get the knowledge of Wisdom.

c      Be Simple: There is a saying, “It is simple to be happy but very difficult to be simple.” It is very easy to say be simple but it is very difficult to implement in our real life. But if we try to do in our life, no more practical tips required to us.

d      Shelter of Krishna: Maya is chasing us but if we take shelter of Krishna that Maya will only help us to achieve our Goal because Maya can never oppose to Krishna but for that we have to take shelter of Krishna.
